The other evening, as I was r< fuming at a late hour from a visit to a friend's, a sin gular adventure occurred to tne which I shall hereby relate: I was p**--ing an ordinary looking lions**, in an obscure street of the city, and quite loudly whistling ,*Ob, no, I’ll never mention if” when a second story Pont window was suddenly raised, and the sweetest voice im aginable was heard to whi-per: * Wait a moment, Charley, and I will soon lie ready.” The head of the ma : den uttering the de claration was then withdrawn, hut not until I had seen that she was young, and the jm>s sessor of imnsnal beauty. ‘Ready? wait a moment Charley,” I re peated in a musing manner, an endeavoring to obta n some c ue to wdiat was occurring, and what was meant, by those word**. “I have’nt the shghtest idea who the fair incognita is. but it s-erns that she knows me, or she wouldn't add*-e.s uie by my lamiliar name. I wondr-r—” But my wowfenng aloud was suddenly cut short, and gieatly iuciwd to mys-lt, by 1 the re-appearance ot the maiden at the still op**n win I- vr. “Is everything still?” she inquired, in the most inusii al ot whispers “Awfnily glum,” imi k-1, ha king around, and r*--p noting -fend, “perfectly. ’ “A*-f your sure that no one i* comine?” ‘■Q ite sure.

Was this fair enchantress a hurglaress, or a companion parUceps entninu o! burglars ? i I shuddered at tbe thought. The fair wnmiu was more alarmed ihan mvself. Hastily seiz ng my arm—the other, the arm disengaged from ihe b indie—she led me hastily away. Her lice was pale— her form tmnb'ed horn head to loot with emut.on—l dulu't hardly know what I was about, so greatly was I influenced by a re flection as to the figure 1 w*g .tiiung-thus running awy with a wo an I had never seen be!ore, and a huge bundle under my arm! . I “We are discovered,” murmured my com panion. “My only | prehension is ih.t we gum]! be put sued au<i separated before the matter is accomplished. I stole another glance at my companion, and saw that she wasoi e of the lovlieSl hru netes I ever up min my fde.

She soon ov*r took him, seized him and caused him t * p*use while I stood 1 okmg upon them, wi ii the bund es aut'cally clasped under my arm. A retrograde movement was commenced and ; the maiden and the young stranger wero soon in my immediate pr.-?erice. ‘ Oh, sir, ’ began the fair being, as she took my hand and looking up enclmntmgly into my face, “you will forgive me the mistake, I thought you .vere my Charles !” and she j gazed admir ugly ami devotedly upon him. “An elopement, eh ?” I asked, smiling at the mistake. I Tt.e young gentleman bowed. “And the signal ot my arrival h-neath the xvmdow as agiecd upon,” he adde 1, ‘was the very notes whistled trout that tune.’j I understood tne mistake in a moment how I lal lnppenel along at just the witeting hour of the intended elopement, and chanced to whistle the signalling tune. Not to dwell upon a simple and every day matter, I saw the parties united in wed'oek, and the next day had the pleasure 01 reconci'ing the pa i rents to the eveij >yed young coup!**, who hate already commenced domestic life with : every pro-pect of not hat ing “paid too dearly for the whistle.” | Married F Iks doii’t do such Th : ngs.

One of the most memory hie passages ever uttered by Mr. Webster, was in vindication of the authority of conscience and of Pr->yi dence, on a trial for a dark and mysterious murder: “ The guilty soul cannot keep its own ce cref. It is fa se to itself. It labors under its guilty possession, and knows not what to do with it. Tee lium ui heart was not made tor Ihe residence of such an inhabitant. Ii finds itself preyed upon by a twin-nt which it does not acknowledge to God or j man. A vulture is devouring it, and it can ask no sympati y or assistance, eiiher from j heaven or earth. The secret which the j murderer possesses soon comes to possess him ; and, like the evil spirit of which we read, it overcomes him. and leads him whith ersoever it will. lie feels it beating at his heart, nsing to his throat, and demanding disclosure. He thinks the who;** world sees , it in his face, and almost heats its worku gs in the silence of his thoughts. It betrays i his discretion, it breaks down his coinage, it 1 conquers his prudence. Wheu suspicions from w ithout begin to embarrass him, and th i net of circumstances to entangle him, tbe fatal secret struggles w ith si ill greater . violence to burst forth. It must be confes- j srd ; it will be confessed ; there is no refuge ‘ ’ from conle-sion but suicide; and suicide is 1 , conic—ion. ” “We protest against a theory of the Divine government so monstrous, that to reconcile , it with the principles of honor and right, and ; i to justify the ways of God to man, it drives | | its advocates to the supposition that men arc i resuseit*t*d demons, and so tails t*ack upon the legends ot heathens and baib trians. “We believe in vital religion or the reli gion of Hjt, as contrasted with that of trust in hicraremes, establishments and traditional formula* settled by the votes of wavering mj .rittes in old counc Is and convocations. ‘ We believe in toangeUcal religion, or the .chgion of ylud tiding*, iu distinction from the schemes ttiat make our planet the ante chamber of tiie mansions of eternal woe to the vast majority of the men, women and children that have lived and suffered upon its surface. “We believe that every age must judge the Scriptures by its owu ll*bl ; and we men by God s grace, to exercise that privi le.-e, without asking perm ssion of Pope or Bish p. or any other human tribunal. “We believe that Sm is the much-abused stCD-daughter of Ignorance, and this not only from our own observation, but on the authority of Him whose last prayer on earth, as recorded by the G >od Ptijsician, wa-> that the fierpetrators of the gieatest crime on re | cord m ght be forgiven, for they kuew not what tlwy were doing.” g-gp* Remember your sins, to confess I them ; your temptations, to guard against them; and your obligations, thankfully to acknowledge them. , ur it was a prime joke of Canning’s, wl i>, when told hy an eminent docor tliai poverty was a virtue, remarked that be had never known what mkiug a virtue ot ne cessity meant till the...

A\ e this day publish a card from the gen tlemen composing the Central Executive I Committee of the American party of Geor gia in reference to the subject of a State Convention, and a general organization.— The Committee have, very properlv, we think, declined to call a convention of the American party, and have considered their duties, as a Committee, at an end. They, however, suggest a convention of all oppos ed to the present State and National Admin istrations, to be held at Miilcdgeville, on the 3rd Wednesday of July, to take such action as may bo deemed necessary. This recom mendation will, we trust, be a sufficient call for such a convention, as there is now no other authority to make such a call, except the general voice of the people as manifest ed through the public press. To the furtherance of the recommenda tion, we take the liberty of suggesting that there lx* a meeting of the citizens ot ; Bibb County, on Saturday, the 18th of June, at the Court House in Macon, at 11 o'clock, A. M., for the purpose of appointing Dele gates to thcjj’ongressional and State Con ventions. This call embraces all who are opposed to tlie State and National Adminis- j trations, without respect to former political | alliances. Jack on Artille.y Company. On Friday evening last, this new* Military company was organized by the election ol tlie following officers: J. 11. Andrew-, Captain. Then. Parker, Ist Lieut. F. 11. Burghard, 2nd “ Geo. A.

We wish them all the most unbounded suc cess. Tin* National Administration. The Georgia Dem icracvare, at present, in something of a stew, about tlie propriety ol endorsing or ignoring the Administration of President Buchanan, at the meeting of their Gubernatorial Convention. The “Federal Union” is in favor of endorsing, in general, with perhaps one or two exceptions, while some of the leaders of the party, “swear by all the Gods at once,” that they will not submit, either to an endorsement of the Walker Kunsa- swindle and other acts ot the National Administration, or to preier mitting an expression of their full condem nation of Buchanan. We shall soon set how the matter will he settled, us the Con vention will meet in a few days. Os course their candidate for Governor must take position on tbe platform adopted. We pre dict, however, that as little as possible will be said of National affairs, and ull stress laid on those of State! Otherwise the nom inee might find “Jordan a hard road to travel,” in the coming canvass. Another Sou h-rn Palace. Our townsman, Win. B. Johnson, is like ly to find a competitor in the South, in the erection of his palatial dwelling. Col. J. A. S. Ackien, of Mississippi, is about erecting a private residence at bis plantation, oppo site Red River landing, which is designed to cost $169,009 —and $126,000 more for the furniture and furnishing ! The following is the plan of this immense edifice: •Tne style of the edifice is castellated goth ic, with a frontai?e on the river of 104 feet, a depth on tin* two sides wings of 104 >eet. and a centre compartment of 220 feet deep, sunnouuted by a lofty anil beautifully pro portioned tower. The budding will contain 50 rooms, exclusive of closets, b tth*ruoin-, ward-robe.-, etc., spacious and ampiy provid ed with all the modern improvements in comfort and elegance. All the walls bf the building are to be double, with air passage* inside.” Second District. Gen. James N. Bethune, of the “ Corner Stone,” Columbus, has announced himself i u an independent “ Free Trade and Direct i Taxation ” Candidate, for Congress, from | the 2d District. He will take the stump on ! that issue before the people. Our contem porary would make a good Representative, i but he cannot, we think, have any great | hope of election in opposition to the regular Democratic candidate. The If aeon & Brunsw ck Eai’rcad. I We clip the following from the Brunswick Herald, of last week. It is an instance ol going from home to hear the news at home —yea, verily !: Macon Bronx wick Railr<>ad. —We un derstand that contracts to grade about 23 miles of this Road have been made. Messrs. Dean and Ralston take the contract through tbe swamp on the west bank of the Ocinul gee, about 7 miles, and the Messrs. Collins’ lt> miles from the east bank. Lock Out ! The Savannah News says that more than one thousand copies of the N. Y. Ledger are ’ taken in that city ! It also says that a late number of the Ledger contains an editorial unqualifiedly “commending Horace Greely, the unprincipled and unscrupulous High Priest of Abolitiondom !’’ This is a signi ficant fact, and one that ought to bring a blush to the cheek of every Southerner w , bo pays his money for such literary trash as that furnished by Bonner. How, we ask, can the South ever expect to be any thing else than “hewers of wood and drawers ol water” to the North, when these Northern Abolition papers are so liberally patronized, at the expense of sound and able Southern ournals ! State Aid Convention. The first •• ednesday of August is the time, and Atlanta fs the place, for holding tho proposed Convention of the friends ol •■state Aid to tlie Railroad system of Georgia. From present appearances the Convention will be a highly respectable one, not wit h stunding the opposition to the measures pro posed, by the mammoth Railroad corpora tions of Savannah and Atigu-la. This policy of State Aid was inaugurated when the Western & Atlantic Railroad was bu'it, and confirmed when the Main Trunk Railroad charter was enacted. It is, there fore, too late in the day, to object to a con tinuance of the same policy, so long as a large portion of the State is yet undevelop ed. The iv/iole State has had to bear the burdens of taxation arising from tbe con struction of the Western & Atlantic Road, and will have to bear the burden (if any) in cident to tbe building of the Main Trunk. Therefore, on the principle- of equity and justice, the favored portions of the common wealth, which hare pro fit ted, so vastly, by the aid extended to tho Railroads named, should be willing that other portions of the State should receive the same attention.— We do not believe that any 10-s is likely to accrue to the State, from extending aid to the important Railroad projects now on foot. Let this be done on the safe principles laid down in the Main Trunk charter, and the result would be beneficial to the people, and profitable to the State, by reason of the great increase of taxable property and general prosperity. Above all, let those Railroad corporations and those cities which have become wealthy through the opening of the Western & At lantic Railroad, as a mighty feeder to the connecting lines terminating at Savannah and Augusta, not he so selfish as now to deny like privileges to those portions of the State which are seeking aid from the Slate. At all events, wc wish to see that Conven • tion held, and we hope that every county in the State interested in the subject will send Delegates thereto, and some concert of ac tion be determined on, before the ensuing election. It is a question above party, and we hope it will be discussed and decided on its own merits, irrespective of political preju dices or personal interests. The “greatest good of the greatest number,” should be the rule lo govern the Legislature in its action, and we have confidence to believe they will so consider the policy of State Aid when the subject is brought before them.

Our well beloved friend, Joseph Walker, having been ousted out of his position as Editor of the Baptist “Index,” has issued proposals for publishing a jmperin Augusta under tbe title of the “Baptist Champion.” He thus set- up for himself, and as the “ Champion ” avowedly of Baptism, not Christianity ! Tlie mask being thrown aside, he may be expected t<> “pitch in” without any denominational trammels to interrupt his bellicose propensities Well, let him slide.

Herald of the 27th ult., speak ing of the Virginia elections, says, “the Democracy have suffered a moral if not a mortal defeat in the very Sebastopol of the party.” The follow ing is the reason of the j Herald for this result:— “ V\ list bus bei-oo.e of that heavy Virginia i majority of JO.UttO for Mr Buchanan ? And how is it tlia', under the pr stige of that ma jority, the party has failed to do a? much for Mr. Letcl.er as they did for Mr. Wise ? The reason is, that ever since Mr. Buchanan’s e ection, the s* lfnh, plotting, and intriguing politic ans of that party ha\eb“en at woik mini’ g and counter mining, pi .tting and counter plotting. North and South, against the admuiisiration and utraiust each other for the Charleston Convention and the spoils and plunder, of the succession. Thus we find the Democracy in both sections cut up into c uflcuug factions and cl ques; and thus, from the treacheries, riva ties, and hos tile Presidential cliques in Vugnia, the < p position have been encouraged to rise lor the conquest of the State. If they have suc ceeded, they owe their success to the de moral zatious iu the Democratic camp ; but if the opposition have failed, it is r.ec*ue they have failed to appreciate and propeily to appropriate the real weakae3s of their adv:r=aiy.” A*w tVI eat.

To the American cf Geor ia. The undersigned, your Central Executive Committee, appointed by the Convention at Milledgeville, in July, 1857, having been re vested bv various American pre-scs and in dividuals, to call a Convention of the Amer ican party , according to usage, preparatory lo a general re-organization for the ap proaching fall elections—beg leave to an nounce, that, after due consultation and de liberation, they have deemed it advisable not to call said Cone* ution. Still true to our principles, and cherishing the liveliest regard for their maintenance, we nevertheless believe that there are other ob jects to be accomplished, of much higher and more pressing importance, than any ques tions connected with the rights of foreign citizenship. There i- a party in power, composed of tho worst elements of all parties, which, tin ier the sanction of the Democratic name, has committed unparalleled abuses and frauds upon the American people. It has perpetrated the Kansas swindle— squandered the public money in the most shameless manner—run up the national ex penditures iu time of peace, t-o near 90 mil lions of dollars per annum!—encouraged ectional feuds for its own aggrandizement, ,and even connived at Mormon protection.’ Worst still—it has elected a o Abolition Gov ernor over a Southern State!—a State, which owe3 more to slavery than all the South be sides—having acquired riches and power by the professional business of breeding slaves for sale. Tho-e are some of the enormities which have recently leen covered by the sanctions of the modern Democratic party. To hurl this corrupt party from power is now the highest duty of every good citizen ; aud to accomplish this noble purpose, we are willing to ignore, for the time, all questions of minor importance. Trusting in the good sense and patriotism of our countrymen, we are satisfied that the evils connected with the naturalization ofior eigriers, will in due time be correcteu. And here we rest the subject. W enow call upon our American friends everywhere, to unite with the Opposition, against this spurious Democracy. Let us make a common cause ; together, with Con servative Whigs and Independent Demo crats, make a bold descent upon the spoils men and together share iu the honors of vic tory. Already the good sense of conservative men throughout the length and breadth of the land, has revolted at the misdeeds of the modern Democratic party; and many who once adhered to it as the only conservative national party, have left it in disgust. Vir ginia, the nursing mother of Democratic statesmen and Presidents, is giving way ! Tennessee and Kentucky are expected soon to follow with still more decisive result-, — and Georgia, upon whose patriotism and ex ample, the whole South relies, will not fail to thunder her indignation into the ears of her betrayers. Let us then organize— organize, is the word. The newspapers have suggested the hold- , ing of an Opposition Convention, in Mil ledgeville, on the 3d Wednesday in July next. Wecordially endorse that suggestion, and urge our friends in eveny county to send up their delegates. Let them send their best and most experienced men, without re spect to political antecedents, provided, they arc known to be opposed to the party in power;—and our word for it wo shall be able to organize such a party’, as will not only correct all local abuses, but rout the plunderers, und save the National Govern ment of our Fathers from demoralization and ruin.

Heads and tails, long, boh and short—black, red and blue spirits— disaffected Know Nothings, disappointed office-seekers, Whigs, Abolitionists Free booters, public robbers, public plunderers and pap-suckers. “They have neither prin ciples nor prrty names in common.” In New York they call themselves Jeffersonian, squatter sovereign, Douglas Democrats. In New York “ the strength of Dead Rabbits enables them still to rejoice in the name of Douglas squatter sovereigns.” In Massa chusetts they are Hallet Democrats, alias Abolitionists. In Virginia they call them selves States rights Democrats and elect an Abolitionist to the office of Governor. In Pennsylvania they are Forney Democrats— that means opposition to Slavery and its extension. In Georgia they are neither Don glas, nor Buchanan Democrats, though I believe they are Van Buren Democrats.— The Examiner ought not to complain and talk about the Opposition party affiliating with Giddings, Hale and Cos., now. and in 1860, while his party has been, since 1864, living in close communion with, and fimly allied to the Dixs, Forneys Cochranes Van Burens Redflelds, Hal lets, and many other Abolitionists “shoulder to shoulder” with them against the rights of the South in the Teiritories.

But are you sure even that endless punishtm nf is ol ue ecs-ity infinity punishment. Infinite, ac cording to your ov. n statement, is that which does not admit cf increase.
