as manv handsome women again. Go to the
Opera, if you wish to see the perfection of -Cre
ole beauty, and I pray you, don’t take hotel in
mates for a standard. Take a stroll down Char
tres st. some fine day and you’ll never regret it,
and though the promenaders of that fashionable
thoroughfare are often mixed , yet you can see
pretty faces enough to satisfy any one man. —
Perhaps it may be a rainy day and then you can,
but never mind about that—draw on your im
agination for the balance of the sentence. Put
I)r. I am not yet done with the Grand Opera,
for whilst I may have communicated the gene
ral particulars in a very few words, I would now
descend to the minor points. Neill and I were
rather precipitate in our movements on the oc
casion to which I allude, for in the great hurry
to get seats, we neglected to don our white kids
and white vests. We had stared at the ladies
til our eyes almost grew dim and were getting
comfortably warm (twas hot as the d—l) in
our cushioned seats when this astounding fact
rushed upon our minds ‘with the velocity of an
Arab.’ Every individual in the building, both
male and female had their paws enveloped in
kid and we concluded that ‘custom had made it
law.’ I informed N. of our situation and’ if
one of his own electric batteries had been ap
plied to him the shock would l not have been
greater. W r e thought every eye- was upon our
rumpled hair—unshaved faces and bare hands.
I had been busily engaged at the desk all day
and the ink-spots on my fingers were magnified
til they looked as large as horse-blankets. I
don’t know what we looked like, or what other
people thought of us, but our whole systems
were pervaded with a feeling of foolishness.
We thought we would make the best of a bad
bargain and laugh the matter off. \\ r o saw
nothing to laugh at, so we laughed any how.
The voices of the performers were tine and the
scenery magnificent. It was sufticent to have
drawn the attention of every one, but just as
the waters of the Red Sea divided and Moses
led the Israelites out of bondage ; ere they had
reached the opposite shore and Pharaoh with
his host follou-ing in their path, I bo hooed
right out. I did’nt exactly bo hoo, but I snick
ered loud enough to interrupt those in my im
mediate vicinity. Neill giggled and blew his
nose on a red handkerchief that three feet off
looked like a bandanna! I believe it was a
bandanna.
But ‘sufficient is the evil thereof.’” We staid till the
performance concluded. My appearance during its
continuation was a freezing one, for with but one ex
ception I had kept both hands in my trousei-s’ pockets
and my coat buttoned to the throat. You can guess
the objects I had in view. One time I kid my hands
on the rail when N. exclaimed ‘hands’—and poking me
in the ribs with his elbow. Quicker than thought I
removed them. With Motes I was much pleased, and
though my Operatic experience is limited, yet I consi
dered it the grandest performance I ever witnessed. I
cannot do its merits justice and will not attempt a criti
cism, which at best would he hut burlesque. The men
are tine looking, though I can’t say so much for the
women. One of the former lias a voice that would
gauge ‘double-barrelled bass’ with no ‘outs,’ and when
he attempted a solo it sounded in N’a ears like spilling
a keg of nails. I quote his own language. During
the past winter I have observed many things worthy
of note, of which I should have written you and re
gret that I did not do so, hut other cares demanded
my attention, and it is now too late, liowever, one of
the bright particular stars has made its re-appearance
very suddenly in our Crescent firmament, and as you
would naturally suppose, a muss has been the result.
I allude to Lola Montez —styled by the newspa
pers—Lola the beautiful—Lola the brave—Lola the
Filibuster. She is now in our city and will sail in a
few days for California, where she no doubts expects
to reap a golden harvest, but if the people are not de
void of appreciation, she will miss the figure. I have
seen her both as an actress and danseuse, and must
confess that I was sadly disappointed.. The only at
tractive feature about her is her bright eye that glistens
like a diamond, ami lis -also priina facia evidence of
her tigerish propensities. She- is just about as hard
featured as you can imagine, and possesses a voice
with a crack in it that you could throw your hat
through. By every picture that I ever saw of her,
site is greatly flattered. She may pass muster and in
spection at the ‘Bowery,’ hut will never satisfy a New
Orleans public. Her figure is far from graceful (re
member I have seen it in a close fitting dress,) and
hung to a slim shank of a leg is a ‘fut,’ which, like the
Irishman's duck , ‘the divil could’nt thrip up.’ How
any man could fall in love with such a woman is mat
ter of sui-prise to me, hut everybody to their taste, as
the ‘gal said’ when she kissed the cow. During her
previous visit here, she became enraged on a certain
occasion and in despair swallowed a poisonous draught
which upon examination of the empty bottle by com
petent judges, was pronounced old Otard. A little of
the critter isn’t very had, hut does’nt set well on a per
son’s stomach when taken in an ill humor. Before you
receive this she will be on the deep, blue sea, and
though I am no admirer, yet her republican spirit
prompts me to say ‘joy go with thee.’
Mrs. Sinclair (late Mrs. Forrest,) left last week for
California, accompanied by her sister. Her late en
gagement at the Varieties was eminently successful,
and her many admirers wish her a safe journey and a
pleasant return. She is truly a fine looking woman,
besides possessing many of the requisites of an accom
plished actress —though after all, her handsome face is
her best card. I have seen her in several different
robes and like her ‘Lady Teazle’ best of all. This win
ter I hare seen Anna Thillon and Lola Montez perpe
trate a cold blooded murder of the same character to
‘fashionable and delighted audiences.’ For her bene
fit she pkyed ‘Lady Townly’—Queen Catherine ’ (the
trial scene,) and the ‘Duchess’ in ‘the Follies of a
Night,’ all of which she creditably performed, and
when the curtain went down, she was called out and
made a neat speech.
In speaking of celebrities, I would take the occasion
to refer to the ‘Great Booth’ whose spirit has passed to
another world. The last engagement he ever pkyed
was at the St. Charles, in this city, and on the evening
of his benefit, the theatre was crowded from pit to
gallery. The last character lie ever appeared in was
•John Lump,’ in die ‘Wag of Windsor,’ and so great
was Ills exhaustion (having played in the tragedy that
preeeeded the farce,) that - he could scarcely stand upon
the stage. Naturally fond'of curiosities and l ol<l remi
nen-ees, I preserved the hill of the evening and will
oarefrily retain it as a treasure—the last announce
ment ever given to the world, ere the prompter, Death,
called” him from the stage of life.
But my letter has already reached too great a length
and I must bring it to a close. lam a constant reader
of the ‘Citizen,” (and by Jove a paying subscriber be

unless you immediately secure the ‘pen’ of some clever

“SPOOK.”
General Baptist State Convention.
Macon, April 25th, 1853.
To the Editor of the Georgia Citizen.
Sir: I attended, the General Baptist State
SuHvention, at Atlanta, which has just conclud
ed its proceedings, and though not a member
was especially gratified to observe the courte
sy? good order and harmony which attended
all the deliberations of this large and influen
tial bofly of Christians. I saw nothin” and
Heard’ nothing, during its session, unbecoming
the ministers and disciples of Christ associated
for the enforcement of his truth and the ad
vancement of his kingdom. Impressive dis
courses were delivered in the various churches.
Strong Resolutions were adopted against the
hrtailing and use of ardent spirits, encouraging
devised for the circulation of religious
brooks, while the cause of African missions was
sanctioned, ashy one mind, and-most liberally
a'ded by the contribution of the Convention.
An adjournment was proposed and carried,
in order to give opportunity for an address on
the subject of African Colonization, by the
Rev. R. R. Gurley, of Washington city, whose
statements, we learn, are confirmed by the con
current testimony of the Rev. Eli Ball, and the
Rev. T. J. Bowen, both of whom have recently
visited Liberia. Mr. Bowen is truly a remark
able man. A native of De Kalb county, in this
State, and still a young man, and minister of
the Baptist church, he, some three years ago,
formed the bold and perilous design of plant
ing Christianity in Central Africa. The South
ern Baptist Board of Missions commissioned
him to go forth and explore the country, and
with a daring spirit, which nothing could de
ter, and an ability and know ledge of mankind,
which difficulties and opposition could hardly
defeat, he has penetrated to regions and a peo
ple which no white man had ever before seen,
a country high, salubrious, beautiful and fruit
ful ; a people numerous, inhabiting many cities
of from teu to fifty thousand souls, accpiainted
with agriculture and some of the more useful
arts. A people courteous, hospitable and hon
est, believers in one and only one God, anxious
to he instructed, and ready to listen with deep
interest to those who explain to them the ob
ject aud precepts of the Gospel. Mr. Bowen
is soon to return to that country, (Yarriba) and
in company with such other missionaries as
may l>e ready to devote their lives to this newly
discovered and most interesting people, to give
his best energies to the work of their salvation.
Should his life he preserved, we may look for
great and beneficent results from this enter
prize, and from his hold and zealous and well
considered movements rich commercial advan
tages may be secured to this country, as well
as more imperishable blessings to Africa.
AMICUS.
Letter from Washington City.
Washington', April 22d, 1853.
Dear Doctor. —l will admit that I have been
negligent in not writing you before, hut you
w ill excuse me, I know, after I tell you that I
got awfully sea-sick, besides being ‘more awful
ly’ dusted aud worn out upon the road from
your city to Charleston, and from thence to this
city. I arrived here about one week ago, af
ter stopping over a few days in Charleston, and
also a day in Richmond. The latter city is one
of the most romantic and pleasant spots, I think
in the whole country: —located as it is upon
very elevated ground —a large portion of it—
it gives you an opportunity to view fine and
verdant fields to a great distance, with that
finest of streams, James River, wending its
course through their midst, which renders the
scenery magnificent. The view trom the State
House, of the county and the city, I think is un
surpassed, so far as ‘beauty and romantic’ is
concerned. Such a road from Wilmington,N.
C. to Richmond, a full and more days’ travel, I
don’t recollect ever to have passed over. Road
rough, had dirty cars, and such a dust, almost
to suffocation, the whole distance, which almost
‘laid me on the shelf’ for a day or two. And
on coming to this city, I found the weather
cold and wet, and the Spring unusually behind
the times; while I learn from New York that
snow is to be seen there yet, in many places.
There is actually nothing to write about here
in Washington. It is quiet, and nothing do
ing as if no change in the Administration had
been recently made; but very few office-seek
ers about; Hotels as desolate and uninhabited
as so many air castles. I was greatly disap
pointed in this respect. It is my opinion that
they don’t find all they desire, or such cordial
greetings as might he expected. I find not a
few dissatisfied ones. I hear hut little said of
the new President or his Cabinet. The report
ed rupture in the Cabinet, is a false report. I
learn of no disagreement among the Cabinet
members, or that Marcy is to resign. But few
appointments are being made at the present
time, of importance. A ‘cut’ was made in the
6th Auditor’s Office a day or two ago. Twenty
clerks, Whigs, were dismissed, and new ap
pointments made; hut most likely the local
appointments, or most of them, will not l>e
made until after the end of the fiscal year; hut
the probability is, that in time, a general change
in the public offices throughout the country
will he made —a clean sweep! ‘To the victors
belong the spoils,’ is the motto, these days.—
Mr. Buchanan’s appointment as Minister to
England, gives general satisfaction — the host
and most judicious one made, too. What
‘Prince John,’ Judge Douglas, Mr. Dix, and a
host of other workers are to do, I am not able
to give a Yankee guess. But there are a few
places, lucrative, yet left to fill, hut the leaders
of the Democratic Wing seem to feel much
delicacy in accepting office under Gen. Pierce;
for they imagine that there is ‘hope while there
is life’ —for the Presidency !
All business was suspended in the Public
Offices, yesterday, and all the Public Buildings
draped in full mourning, at the instance of the
President, on account of the deatli of Vice-
President King. ITe lias been in the public
service for a long series of years, and was much
respected here, for his urbanity, and gentleman
ly hearing. Death seems to have entered the
doors of the high as well as the low, during the
hist few months. Mr. Pierce entered upon his
duties with infirm health, and a sad heart, at
the loss of an only child, while Mr. Fillmore
retired from all his honors, with a good ‘name
and fame,’yet more deeply afflicted by the death
of his estimable lady, with whom he had been
preparing to spend the remainder of his life in
private and domestic happiness, among friends
and his native home. And now another link
is broken, and once more the grim monster,
death, has stricken down a high functionary,
who occupied the second place in the gift of
the American people. There is no Power that
can stay the hand of Him who rules over the
destinies of both the high and the low, but his
own; honor and promotion cannot interfere
with Ilis will. Mr. Atchison, of Missouri, Pres
ident pro tern, of the Senate, is now acting Vice-
President, or becomes so, by the death of Mr.
King.
There are as few strangers in the city at the
present time, and as little ‘gossip’ going on, as
I have known at any time since I have been a
resident in the city. I shall go to New York
shortly, and will try aud write you from there-
I am anxious to get among the hills and green
vallfes ofYankcdom. Iu great haste,
Your friend, ‘YANKEE.’

panies have concentrated their bauds along the line

April Fool Poetry.
Dear Doctor.— The following is an exact
copy of an April-fool, I received when they
were last in circulation ; and being more desi
rous of eulogizing his (the author’s) poetical ef
fusions, than reciprocating his affection, I hum
bly request you to put it in print.
LUCY JANE.
TO MT FRIEND OR UY FLATTERER—MISS LCCT JANK.
Macon, April Ist, 1853.
Dear Lucy Jane : —not farther back than eighteen fifty
two
I caught a glance—a winning glance—a killing glance
from you,
So aprobating was the smile, so cheering to my mind,
I thought I would reciprocate, indeed I felt inclined
To give dear Lucy in return, some token of my love,
And ever after, if I could, a constant lover prove.
’Twas flattery in you I know—l knew it at the time
And though coquettish was the look, it raised a thought
sublime,
I felt a sense of gratitude, and heard a voice within,
Saying in soft tones to me—‘Exalted you have been,
And if you’il give heed to her fond smiles, promoted
you may be,
For flattery like her’s sometimes becomes reality.’
Thus was I led by passion strong, to think you most
sincere,
And think ’twas love for me, that made you then so
kind appear,
And if your curiosity should make you wish the name
Os him who now endures and feels for you the vital
flame
Just think of me and of the time in eighteen fifty-two,
M hen I first caught that winning glance, that killing
glance from you. An Absent Lover.
A Rich Editor.— Col. Walter W. Stapp,
principal editor of the Louisville Times, is
about to make a snug little fortune of SIOO,-
000 by the sale of Illinois coal. An unprece
dented circumstance iu the life of an editor,
and an innovation upon the custom of the fra
ternity which the public will not tolerate. It
was the business of Col. Stapp, as a disinteres
ted editor and public servant, to point out this
opportunity to make money to his readers, who
are in the habit of indulging in such tilings,
and confined himself to his duties. We don’t
see what business an editor has making money,
or what use he has for it after he gets it. But
this is the progressive age, and we are not pre
pared to he surprised even at such a circum
stance. — Nashville Whig.
From the Southern Recorder.
Colonization.
Gentlemen: I beg leave to state that the
American Colonization Society is now prepar
ing to dispatch two expeditions with emigrants
to Liberia; the first to sail from Norfolk, Va.
early in May, and the second to leave Savan
nah the first of June. The undersigned re
spectfully requests all who may know of re
spectable free persons of color in this or the
adjoining States, disposed and prepared to em
bark in the approaching expedition from Sa
vannah, to inform him by letter, addressed to
the care of Robert Campbell, Esq. of Augusta.
And further, he states, that as the Colonization
Society is incurring a heavy expense in the
charter and outfit ot these vessels to convey
emigrants to Liberia, it appeals for aid to all
generous Christians, and prays that such may
consider how vast the benefits they may con
fer upon a dark and neglected Continent, by
building up civilized institutions and the church
of the living God upon its shores. Late in
telligence from Liberia is well calculated to
confirm the faith and cheer the hearts of its
friends, and to make it evident that the great
work which is there already accomplished is
small in comparison with that wbjcl. is practi
cable and remains to be done. All that -yreat
quarter of the world is open for the reception of
our arts and language and religion, and invites
and entreats us to send to her heathen tribes
the imperishable blessings and everlasting light
of Christianity.
Donations maybe sent to Robert Campbell,
Esq. Augusta, or for the next month to the un
dersigned, (care of that gentleman,) or to Mr.

ET Speaking of the health of President Pierce,
the Washington Union says: We see in the tele
graphic columns of certain journals a story to the ef
fect that the health of the President has suffered from
his severe application to the engrossing and laborious
duties of bis position. This is an utterly unfounded
rumor, in truth, the health of the President has de
cide dlv improved since his inauguration, and he has
gained both in weight and strength, llis habits of
method give him leisure for the exercise necessary to
sustain his health.

al is of solid gold, about 3 inches long by 2 1-2 wide,
of irregular oblong shape, with projecting corners, and
circular disc for the inscription, which is as follows :

are two flags of the Union crossing each other. On
the reverse side, at the top, are flags crossed with a
Drum between—the Coat of Arms of Georgia on the
right, and that of the U. S. on the left. In the circle
a house, tree, Ac. with a servant woman taking the
child with a drum out to walk, and a gentleman stand

is about SIOO, and the designs and engraving were ex
ecuted by that accomplished artist, Col. O. 11. Tiinoor,
of this city, iu a style of elegance which cannot be sur
passed. Gentlemen who are familiar with the best spe
cimens of engraving from London and Fails, pronounce
this equal to the best from those cities. Asa token of
esteem from the authorities and citizens of Macon to
the Infant Drummer, wc doubt not, it will be duly ap
preciated by the Drummer aud his friends.
Hoil. T. 11. Trippo.— A writer in the last
Washington (Ga.) Gazette nominates this gentleman
as the Whig Candidate for Governor, and says that his
true faith, discretion, mental acquirements, dignified
mien aud personal popularity, in Cherokee, mark him
as the man for the times, with whom, if nominated as
a standard bearer, victory would be sure. We hearti
ly concur in the complimentary terms used in refer
ence to Judge Trippe, but, from a source entitled to
the highest credit, we learn that he will not be in the
field for the office designated. He desires not to he
Governor or a Candidate for Governor, but will proba*
bly be a Candidate for Judge in his Circuit. Unless, j
therefore, he should be called, as it were, by “sponta
neous combustion” to head the column, he will not ac- j
cept the nomination for Governor, and then only in
obedience to the voice of his friends and party, and not
from the impulse of his own wishes.
Another State Convention. —The Re
corder and Griffin Union unite in recommending the j
holding of a Convention at Milledgeville, on the last
Wednesday of June next, (the 29th) for the purpose
of nominating a candidate for Governor, in opposition j
to the Candidate of the Democracy. As the call of the |
Recorder is to his friends , we are anxious to know j
whether that call embraces any persons but those who j
were neutral, in the last Presidential contest, as was
the new Editor of that print, or whether it also includes ;
those and that other class who were Tcrtium Quids or
“friends” of the old Editor. If both these classes are
embraced, and the call of the Griffin Union is to the
Scott Whigs, there only remains for Col. Ilolsey or
some other Union Democrat to rally his “friends” at
the same hour, to bring about a general fusion of the i
ancient elements of Constitutional Unionism, save only .
those who will slab off with Governor Cobb, to the ;
Southern Rights side of the house. In such an event,
the contest will be more interesting than we have been
led to suppose. Go ahead, gentlemen, and see what
will come of this commingling of the diverse elements
of political “faith, hope and charity.” We have noth
ing to say against the movement, and nothing, at pre
sent, in its favor.
“Ye that hare tears to shed pre
pare to shed them now.”— Fifty thousand
bushels of Onions were raised last season in the vicini
ty of Westport, Ct. within a tract of country not ex.
ceeding thirty square miles. The average yield per
acre was about five hundred bushels,
Two more Candidates. —Since our last,
we notice that two more “newspaper nominations”
for Governor have been made in the Democratic Jour
nals, to wit, lion. Alfred Iverson, of Muscogee, and
the Hon. David J. Bailey, of Butts. Os course, accord
ing to the Telegraph, neither of these gentlemen is
“yet ripe for the honors of political leadership.”
Tlissing. —The Savannah Evening Journal, of
Wednesday, regrets to learn that Capt. Wood, a well
known citizen of Savannah, who has for some time had
charge of the Light Ship off Martin’s Industry, has
been missing for several days, and is supposed to be
lost. In company with two men he left the ship on
the 9th inst. for this city, to procure oil and other sup
plies for the ship. Having procured these he and his
men left in a small boat for the ship since when he has
not been heard of, and the weather being rough at the
time of their departure from the city, it is feared that
the boat has been swamped, and her crew drowned.
Great Loss of Life. —By the arrival on
Saturday last, at New Orleans, of the steam ship United
States , in five days from Aspinwall, bringing California
dates to April Ist, we are placed in possession of the
particulars of the loss of the Steamer Independence,
on the 16th Feb. on her passage from San Juan del
Sud to San Francisco. One hundred and fifty lives
are reported as lost, most of them passengers. The
vessel was first wrecked and then burnt. The scene
as described by Capt. Sampson was horrible. We have
a list of passengers and crew, saved and lost, which
persons interested can examine, by casing at this of
fice. Among those lost we notice the names of Mrs.
Ayres and child, Martha Lackey and David Nichols of
Georgia. Among the saved is Geo. T. Yentress, for
merly of this city.

Literary Journals. —One of our Cotempo
raries, in speaking of the “Literary and Family Jour
nals now in existence in the South,” names five of them
as exclusively laboring for the “cultivation of a taste
for Literature in the South,” and studiously omits all
mention of others, which are of the same class, in every
essential particular. For example, what are the Madi
son Visitor, the Georgia Citizen, and Natchez Mirror,
but “literary and family papers?” or wherein do the
Georgia Home Gazette, Charleston Weekly News and
Columbia Family Friend differ from these, in all the
essentials of newspaper Literature? We cannot for
our life, discover a better literary taste in the Journals
named, unless the flaming wood cuts and long, blood
and thunder Romances of one and the dry Historical
compilations of another constitute substantial claims to
such distinction. In fact, we claim some little credit,
ourself, for contributing to the improvement of a taste
for Southern Literature, and do not like to see those
claims overlooked or ignored by our brethren in the
same extensive field of labor. True, we do not boast
of these contributions, because we are only the medium,
for the most part, of the literary labors of others. But
in justice to our Correspondents, some of whom rank
with the first, and one of whom, in our opinion, is
“head and shoulders taller” than any living American
writer, either in Prose or Poetry, we cannot remain si
lent under the imputation that the “Georgia Citizen”
is voi a “Literary and Family Journal” in the best
sense of the phrase. Look, for instance, at the Litera
ry translation of Bishop ilildebert’s Latin Ilymn, in to
day’s paper, from the pen of Georgia’s gifted son,
Thomas Holly Chivers, and then say, whether it
can be surpassed by any Southern writer or Editor
who boasts of publishing a Southern Literary and Fam
ily Journal? At all events, we are willing to measure
qualifications with these boasters before the tribunal of
public opinion, and cannot doubt that the verdict will
be in our favor.
We are compelled, also, to differ, in another parti
cular, with the Editor whose remarks are under con
sideration.
He says that “the indiscriminate commendation lav
ished by the Southern press upon Northern publica
tions, is the great cause of the backwardness and the
slow growth of a literary spirit in the South. So long
as our newspaper press continue to favor and fawn up
on the literary monopoly of the North, so long will
Southern literary enterprises, dwindle, sicken and die.”
This, we apprclicad, is not the true and only reason
for the “slow growth of a literary spirit in the South.”
It is rather to be found in the fact that many of the
previous enterprizes called Literary , in the South,
have been started by persons who had no just preten
sions to the character of Literary men. We could
name several whom the public voice has long since
condemned as miserable charlatans , who were desti
tute alike of Taste, Fancy, Cultivation or Genius, and
whose offspring were sickly and ricketty abortions that
deserved the miserable death to which they were early
doomed. In despite, however, of these failures, there
is now, a more rapid growth of literary spirit in the
South, as evinced by the hundreds of schools and Col
leges which are constantly springing up and dotting
the surface of the land. Os course, it is a work of time
to bring this spirit under proper culture and up to the
fruition of profound attainment and ripe scholarship,
but nevertheless, there are signs of a healthy progress
in Letters, and we have a trustful anticipation that, in
this state, at least, the time is not distant, when its
condition will be such as to put to shame those who
are now dragooning the Southern people into the sup
port of publications, of equivocal moral tendency, sim
ply because they are of Southern origin. For when
the public mind is properly enlightened, it will as na
turally turn with loathing from the tinsel and ginger
bread of a spurious literature as the stomach of a la
boring man from the sweetened pap of a puling infant.
Liberia. —From a correspondence in the Nation
al Intelligencer of the 20tli inst. between Mr. Gerard
Ralston of London, and Mr. Elliot Cresson of Phila
delphia, covering a communication of President Rob
erts of Liberia, to the first named gentleman, we
are placed in possession of several important facts, in
reference to the condition and prospects of this New
African Republic. From this correspondence it ap
pears that three Royal Governments, Belgium, Great
Britain and Prussia, and two Imperial ones, Brazil and
France, have acknowledged the independence of Libe
ria, while the United States, whose daughter Liberia is,
has yet done no such thing. This fact is beginning to
alienate the Liberians from this, their mother country,
and to cause them to accept, greedily, the proffered
commercial intercourse and affiliation of Great Britain
and other nations. Already there are regular monthly
steamers plying between Plymouth, (Eng.) arid Mon
rovia, and other steamers on the way to Good Hope
touch there with merchandize and passengers. So
there are two bi-monthly steamers which arrive regu
larly, and make the trip from England in about 23 days.
Mr. Ralston says that unless the U. States will soon
do three things, she will inevitably lose the growing
commerce of that interesting portion of the world, and
these are—the immediate recognition of the Independ
ence of Liberia—the establishment of a line of Monthly
steamers between Norfolk aud Monrovia, and the ma
king of such annual subscription towards transporting
emigrants thither, as w ill be efficient for the purpose.
President Roberts speaks in the same strain, and is
urgent for the Government of the United States to
move at once in the matter. During the month of
January three expeditions with 400 emigrants arrived
at Monrovia, from the U. S. and he was daily eipecting
two more (on the 24th). President Roberts also pro
mises every facility in his power to Capt. Lynch, who
was shortly expected there, on his mission.
To give our readers some idea what kind of a place
Liberia is, we will add, that Charles Deputy, a colored
man from Pennsylvania, who is now on a tour of obser
vation in Liberia, writes to the Editor of the Ilollidays
burgh Register, in the warmest terms of the country and
its suitableness as a home for the free negro. He says
that the Harbor of Monrovia is the handsomest place
he has seen since he left home. On going ashore, he
put up at the ‘Navy Hotel,’ and had for breakfast, cof
fee, beef steak, chicken, sweet potatoes, rice, pl&intain
aud bread and butter. He dined with the Prussian
Minister, breakfasted with the speaker of the Senate,
occupied the same pew with the President and lady, at
church, and made calls apou Senators, Judges, Law
yers, Ministers and Merchants. Visited as fine schools
as he ever saw, Ac. Os domestic annimais, he says,
they have cows, hogs, turkeys, chicken, ducks, dogs,
and jfl their gardens and along their streets, coffee, co
coa u*itts„ oranges, &c. are growing. Everything sur
passed bis expectation and he strongly urges (Colored
men of go<4 character to emigrate to that country.
Acknowledgments —We are under obli
gations to our cotemporaries of the Country Press for
the following recent notices of the Citizen. Those who
have given our Prospectus an insertion are entitled to
our special thanks:
The Georgia Citizen.—We invite attention to the
Prospectus of this spirited weekly, published at Macon,
in this State. We like this paper on account of its be
ing “independent in all things,” and “neutral in noth
ing.” It is one of the largest weeklies published in the
State, and is always filled with interesting matter. —
Success to you friend Andrews. May your shadow
never grow less.— Wash. ( Ga .) Gazette.
Georgia Citizen.—Last week the “Georgia Citizen
strutted into our office in a bran new dress. It was
1 “sa trig fra top to toe,” we scarcely recognized it. It
always been one of the most neatly printed papeis in
the State, but we find its appearance much improved.
I The Citizen is highly creditable to Dr. Andrews, its
Editor and Proprietor, both for its matter, manner and
its spirit. It is independent in all things, and main
tains its independence with spirit; and it is always read,
by friend and foes, the Doctor having the happy talent
of keeping up a constant curiositv to see what he will
say next. —Atlanta Repvblican, ‘
Georgia Citizen.—We are pleased to notice this
excellent paper out in anew dress. We are glad to
see our coteinporarv so well cared for, and are sure that
an appreciating public will induce it to don many such
suits while it is within the control of its racy Editor—
Price $2, always in advance. Address the Editor at
Macon. —Central Georgian.
The Georgia Citizen.—This paper entered upon its
fourth volume on the 16th inst. and now comes to us
in anew dress, which adds very much to its appear
ance. The Citizen is published weekly, at Macon, Ga.
at $2 per annum. Address L. F. W. Andrews, Editor
and Proprietor.— Thomasville Watchman.
The Georgia Citizen has come to us for the last two
weeks, in an entire new dress. ■ Dr. Andrews is well
known—comment is unnecessary.— Madison Family
Visitor.
The Georgia Citizen.—This racy and spirited pa
per, published and edited in Macon, Ga. by Dr. L. F.
W. Andrews, has recently come out in anew and ele
gant dress. We are always pleased to see these signs
of prosperity on the part of brother Editors. Dr. An
drews makes a very readable paper. He writes with
spirit, and his selections are good. Terms, $2 per an
num, in advance.— Georgia Home Gazette.
Similar notices have appeared in the Notasulga (Ala.)
Herald and one or two other prints, all of which are
included in this our acknowledgment of favors received.
Gentlemen, draw upon us, at any time, with the cer
tainty that your drafts will be honored at sight.

“A Wise Steward.—The late Amos Lawrence of
Boston, it is said, gave away during his life-time, more
than five hundred thousand dollars. On his pocket
book was inscribed, “What shall it profit a man if he
gain the world and lose his own soul.”
The liberality of the gentleman was certainly very
commendable, if the money was appropriated from good
impulses, for the benefit of the poor and distressed.—
We have our doubts, however, about the purity of that
benevolence which is prompted by a fear of losing one’s
soul , or by a desire so to balance accounts with Deity
as to create a right to its salvation.

Noitiillations for Congress.
The Georgia Citizen and Columbus Enquirer have
suggested to the Democracy that Hon. A. C. Morton
is the fittest man they can run for Congress in this Dis
trict. We imagine that they will receive small thanks
from him for their deceitful praise, as nothing could be
fall him which would more surely defeat his aspirations
as a politician as to to be pitted by two such backers
against other game cocks of the Democratic party. —
Columbus Times d’ Sentinel.
Two of the other “game cocks of the Democratic par
ty” here spoken of are Mathew J. Crawford, a South
ern-Rights Whig, and Mr. Tucker, a Southern-Rights
Troup Elector, who could not go for Pierce, because
he was not sufficiently Southern for him! Why does
not the “Times & Sentinel” take as kindly to our sug
gestion of the name of Major Morton! Were the latter
not a Union Democrut, would the Editor of that print
sneer at his claims because his name was suggested by
the Citizen and Enquirer ? We only ask for informa
tion. The truth is, that nothing but “ game-cock ” pol
iticians will suit this Fire-eating Editor, and there is not
a particle of sincerity in his friendship for any other
class. Let the Union Democrats then “stand from ui -
dor,” or they will be crushed !
“Something good in every heart.’*
—The New Orleans True Delta, records the follow
ing episode in the life of Lola Montes or the Countess
of Landsfelt, now on her way to California.
“A generous but very characteristic trait of this sin
gular creature was told us yesterday, which, as it does
great credit to her humanity and native womanhood,
we, now that she is about to leave us, take pleasure in
recording:
It ajipears that a poor demented girl is at present in
the police jail of the Second District, under peculiar
circumstances, and such as are well calculated to touch
the keen susceptibilities of her sex. Hearing that the
poor thing was in this state, and almost destitute of
raiment, Lola at once made up a bundle of garments of
every necessary kind, and started with them herself, in
company with her informant, to the prison. On ar
riving there, she asked for admittance to the unfortu
nate, and, with her own hands, removed the dirty, tit
tered garments, replacing them with the clean and ele
gant ones she herself had brought. Conduct like this
carries its own comment. Lola has a soul.”
“Awkward Mistake.—A fine stone church was late
ly built in Missouri, upon the facade of which a stone
cutter was ordered to cut the following inscription:—
‘My house shall be called the house of prayer.’ He was
referred for accuracy to the verse of scripture in which
these words occur, but unfortunately he transcribed,
to the scandal of the society, the whole verse: ‘Mv
house shall be called the house of prayer, but ye have
made it a den of thieves'”
That would not have been any very great “mistake”
after all, if it had happened to some churches we have
heard of.
Ail Editor ill lii* lloucy nioon!—On
the 7th inst. the Rev. John C. Burrus, Editor of the
Universalist Herald, Notasulga, Ala. took unto himself
a wife, whose maiden name was Miss Frances A. T.
Burke, daughter of the Rev. Charles Burke, of the
Baptist persuasion, all of Macon county, Ala. Where
upon, or after one week’s experience of the joys of wed
ded life, the happy man breaks forth in the following
rhapsody in praise of woman in general, though doubt
less, at the moment of inspiration, viewing the whole
sex through the personification of loveliness which he
had appropriated to himself: —
“The Editor pities ‘the rest of mankind,’ who have
to plod along solitary and alone amid life’s chequered
scenes, without some gentle spirit to illumine the path,
way of life. ’Tis woman’s smiles that call out the latent
energies of the soul, and cause man to buckle on the
armor and go forward. In the language of the cele
brated Henry Clay, it may well be said, “woman’s heart
is the shrine of virtue, and her tongue the oracle of
truth.’”
Bro. John will allow us to congratulate him on the
enlarged scope of his “mind’s eye,” and to tender him
our best wishes for his continued prosperity and hap
piness. He will also permit us the Brother's privilege
of suggesting us a suitable subject for his next pulpit
ministrations and as eminently fitted to his present
state of mind, on being delivered from the captivity of
Bachelor loneliness, that passage of Holy Writ w hich
can be found in Psalms cxxvL 6. With such a theme,
he cannot be otherwise than eloquent, especially in the
application to the “mourners in Zion,” alias, his late
brotherhood of unwedded men!
As we Supposed.—The Baltimore Sun of
the 14th inst. has the following remark respecting the
late Printers* Strike in New York.
“There is a feature of the New York Printers’ Union
which the late proceedings have brought out in its true
character, and the deformity of which is likely to prove
rather revolting to the best members of the craft. It
has been made the subject of remark by the press of
that city; and, as it is applicable to other associations
of workingmen, may be properly referred to here. It
seems that all the extreme movements of the Inion
have been urged by the most worthless men, and the
most inferior workmen connected with the society;
and as it is a part of the obligation of the society to sus
tain those who are unemployed, from the fund.- sup
plied by those who receive the prices, the worthless
members of the Union fall upon the pension list.
As there is no pension list in the South, these chaps
manage to get along from place to place, by levying
contributions from the craft. We have frequently loan
ed small sums in this way, but have never had a far
thing returned, at which, however, we were not dis
appointed. The last customer was a Frenchman who
parley voued us out of two dollars, on his loluntari
pledge to return the same when he got to Columbus.—
He has not yet arrived at that place, though two or
three moons have waxed and warned since!

and this spring, has set up on his own hook i
ive of and in defiance to the wishes of the wT** 1 ’
his district. In our case there has been no rk *
principle, whatever. We never were anv ****
than a Democrat. But when in 1850, all'old
sues were abandoned and anew one-tl.at ofT*’
and Disunion-came upon the tapis, we joined *
ands of Georgia Democrats in the advocacy t ,
principles. In the contest, we acted with ‘the
the Whigs, in defence of the perpetuitv of the *
eracy ofStates, but never dreamed that by so and ■
were transformed into a WhG. nn 2
Again, last year, we acted with a portion of a
M higs in the support of Gen. Scott, for the p
cy, but we challenge the Alabamian to point to ‘

On the contrary, we believed him to be a better V “
man than Gen. Fierce—a better friend of the sTa
and better qualified for the office of President ‘u ‘
support of him, therefore, did not make us a Whfc
old principles or issues, nor harness us to the J
Georgia Whiggery, under the lead of such ‘
Toombs, Stephens and others. *
But the Alabamian says that our press “is corn,, -
ed by circumstances and not by any particular cod a
principles” and that we “endeavor to paddle with t)
current,” because we have not yet dipped our oar j r *
