Extraordinary Develops* ext* — Rev oimosiiT Designs.—The Sew York Herald Announces that ever since the 9th d*v of March last, a book called “Coir pen dium for the Impending Crisis of the South,’ has been seeretlv circulated in large num bers in the Northern State*, endorsed by a private circular, to which are appended the names of the Governor of the State of New York, of an ex-Judge of the New York Supreme Court, of the Chairman of the New York Republican State Committee, of a large number of the most wealthy and re spectable citizens of New York, and of mitt-eight members or COJfORMB. Tbe circular is published in full in the Herald, with a series of extract* from the revolting pages of the book itself, and the list of sub scribers who hsve paid large sums for its circulation We advise the merchants of the South to examine this list, and see whether they are not buying goods of some of these very men. The Herald says that in this book the mask of moderation is completely thrown aside, the Republican party is declared to be completely abolitionized, and its intention is to hurry on a remorseless and bloody revolu tion is openly proclaimed. “Slavery must be throttled. * * * Xo man can be a true patriot without becoming an abolitiou ist. * * * Every victim of the vile in stitution, whether white or black, must be reinvested with the sacred rights. * * * “We believe the Northern people have been too scrupulous. * * * They have ap- S reached but half way to the line of their uty.” The non-slaveholders of the South are thus exhorted: “Do not reserve the strength of your arms until you have been rendered powerless to strike; and the slave holders are told, “it is for you to decide whether we are to have justice peaceably or by violence; for, whatever consequences may follow, we are determined to have it 0"e way or another.

The parties are a Mrs. John Dunning, wife of the sexton of the Second Methodist Episcopal church, a highly respectable man, and a Mr. Jenness, a blacksmith, formerly in the employ of Mr. J. B. Skin ner. Several weeks ago, Mrs. Dunning expressed a desire to visit some friends at Jamesville, and made her preparations accordingly for that purpose. She is said to be in the habit of spending mnch more money than her husband's means would variant, but on the occasion he bought her a silk dress lor twenty-five dollars, and otherwise supplied her with ail h required, to the extreme limits of his purse. Some suspicion had been en tertained of an undue intimacy with Jen nesa, but the husband not having seen ! or heard any thiug to awaken his fears for some time, hoped that it really a mounted to nothing, and felt willing to do all in his power to make her content ed at home. The infatuated woman has two children, one a boy of eight, the oth er a girl three years old. The boy ac companied her to Jamesville; the girl remained at home. The husband suspect ed nothing until two weeks, the time of her visit had expired, and she did not re turn. He then searched, and found she had taken every article of her own cloth ing and personal property with her, and also the child a. About the same time, Mr. Jenness, who had left Mr. Skinner's employ, appeared and demanded a bal ance of wages due him, and so urged its necessity that Mr. Skinner, at aome in convenience felt compelled to procure it for him. It was soon discovered that they had left Jamesville together, and are supposed to have gone either to Ver mont or Ohio . A .f^* I** 1 ** or the “Sympatht.”—A bet ter lUuttration of ‘-free soil” svmpathv ha* not lately teen than that described in the following paragraph about a misguided , lady from North Carolina. * “An old lady, Mr*. Frances Kindred, u now an inmate of the Warren counts (Ohio) Poor House. She formerly re.Uled in An- | son county, N. C-, and was rich in land* i and negroes, but ha* pent all her property in liberating her slaves. In 1852 she went ’ to Hillsborough, Ohio, with her last slavt. She has since become so reduced in circum stances a* to be compelled to take refuge in a poor boose, bhe and her friends now ap peal to philantropist* to contribute enough to get her out of the poor house and place her in a more tolerable institution. Mrs. Kindred is now eighty-three yean old. - A New Sandal—A new scandal has been unearthed in Brooklyn, N. Y., and great is the tribulation in consequence, in certain circles. A married lady, wife of Dr. Adams, proprietor of a water cure establish ment on the Height*, took passage for Eu rope in the stesmer City of Baltimore, on Saturday, with a person by the name of My ers, who boarded at the same hotel with her. Mrs. Adam* has left three children behind her “to mourn her loss.” She is said to have been an exemplary member of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's church. The hus band is understood to have taken passage ia the Asia, which leaves for Liverpool to-mor row, with a view of pursuing the fugitives.

A. M. Hunt, of the I'nited States Hotel, was a beau tiful Silver Pitcher, of the value of S*JO, for the best specimen of a native African imported in lssß or ISotJ. The Pitch er was ihhiy chased, and for a device, had two Africans hoeing in a field—a farm house in the distance. Two na tive Africans were exhibited for the pre mium, which was awa-ded to Isaac, the youngest, a boy about ten years of age. The other, Napoleon, was about fourteen years old. Trey are both active, sprightly and intelligent boys, and speak English better now than the rice ne groes of the low country. We convers ed with both before they were put on exhibition, and from ail we could see and learn, we would as soon own them as boys of the same age born in this country. Napoleon has his front teeth filed into the shape of saw teeth; Isaac has not, but he is slightly tattooed on the cheeks. We saw these boys engaged in harness ing horses, at w hich thr-y seemed per fectly at home —several times speaking to the horses, saying ‘ woe,” “stand still,” just as other negroes would.— They answered questions promptly, and when asked if they did not want to go back to Africa, tho no was very em phatically as wall as promptly uttered, it would be hard to distinguish these boys from American born negroes in a crowd. Indeed, we are confident that not one in a hundred could do it. [Che rate Gazette. Muscle Looking up Amoco the Girls. —Why shouldn’t we have Schools for the physical develop ment of young ladies as well as young gentlemen ?

Ah, it gave one high hopes for the future to see those bright eyed girls, a dozen of them, toss ltack their curls under their boating hats, put their ungloved hands to , their oars and ltear away with stea dy sweep into the current, and then stein a high wind “four miles out anil three miles back,” as the Cap tain said, with no complaint of | weariness.

Supreme Court.— Thera was a ru j rnor in town yesterday, that the House of Representatives, on Monday, passed a Reso lution, by a considerable majority, abolish ing the Supreme Court! Declined.— John L. Jonks, Esq., de clines the nomination for Allerman, con ferred by the meeting of Monday night last. Dentil'* Doings.—"We have to record the sudden death of another good citizen— Thor. H. Flint, Esq., proprietor of the “Flint House,” Macon. He died yesterday morning, in some kind of a fit, after a brief illness of only a few hours. Dr. L. B. Mercer, a well known citizen of South Western Georgia, died at his resi dence in Terrell, on Sunday, the 27th Nov. Dr. Newton, a distinguished Minister of the Presbyterian denomination, died in Jackson, Miss., on the 28th ult. The Meeting on Tui'sday Hight. There was a very large and enthusiastic i meeting held at the Court-house in this city, on Tuesday evening last, for the purpose of j taking some action, in reference totheaho- I lition incendiaries, that are believed to be prowling about the country, plotting mis chief against the property and lives of our people. On motion. Capt. Z. T. Conner was called to the chair and Dr. Griffin requested ! to act as Secretary, It was then moved that a committee of five be appointed to draft resolutions for the j consideration of tho meeting—also to report the names of suitable persons to art as a Vig ilance Committee for the county of Bibb.— This was accordingly done, dnd after con siderable discussion, jrro and con, it was fi nally determined to (urn over the whole matter to the City and State authorities, with u recommendation to the Mayor and Coun cil to double their present police force, should it be deemed necessary. This is the i substance of the proceedings, which is all | we deem it expedient to put upon record, for the information of our readers. The Reform Ticket.— At a meeting ofthe citizens on Monday night, an other ticket was placed in nomination for the municipal offices to be filled on the 10th. That ticket is a very respectable one, but as we do not appreciate the necessity of any Reform in the administration of the city government, we shall support the ticket, headed by O. G. Sparks, Esq. He and bis as sociates have faithfully performed their duty, ‘ and we are willing to try them again. The name of D. T. Driggers was accidentally omitted from this ticket, in Wednesday's issue, but it has been replaced and now stands correctly printed. W. P. Goodall take* the place of Mr. Turpin ; John T. Boiteuillet, Esq., a worthy Democrat, takes the place of G. S. Obear, Esq., originally nominated. Both tickets will be found in this paper. OrniHlgee Circuit.— —We are ex ceedingly gratified to learn that the Hon. I verse n L. Harris, of Baldwin, has been appointed by the Governor, Judge of the Ocmulgee Circuit, in room of the Hon. R. \ . Hardeman, resigned, on account of ill health. A better and more popular appoint ment, we venture to say, could not have been made. Judge Harris is one of the most accomplished Jurist* in the State, and a gentleman of fine ability. We congratu late him upon hi* elevation to the Bench and the people of his District, upon having so worthy a successor to the worthy Hardeman, to preside over the administration of justice in that jurisdiction. From Wednesday' Semi-Weekly Citizen. The 71 (iat-ipul i:i> i tion. On Inst Monday evening, a portion of the citizens, without respect to party, met, and placed in nomination the following Ticket, to be supported as a compromise Ticket, at the election on Saturdav neat: For Mayor — Dß. NOTTINGHAM. /hr Aldermen — D. T. DRIGGERS, JOHN L. JONES, HENRYL. JEWETT, EDWARD SALISBURY, HARDING JOHNSTON, OBADrAH ADAMS. DANIEL F. CLARKE, JOHN H. LONGLEY.

Biahop Payne . —We are requested to state, that the Right Reverend Bishop Payne of the Protestant Episcopal Mission in West Africa, will preach in Christ Church in this city, on this, Friday, evening 7) o’clock, on which occasion the Pews will be Free. All persons interested in African Missions, and the public generally, are res pectfully invited to attend. After the ser vice, a collection will be taken up in aid of the Mission. Overhauling Abolitionists. We have already noticed several cases where suspected individual* have been ar rested as abolitionists, and made to “va moose the ranch.” The South seems to bo full of such gentry, and the people are be coming alive to the necessity of the maxim that the “price of liberty is eternal vigi lance.” In Maacon, two or three persons were held in durance, on suspicion, among whom i* the Rev. Dr. Wise, alias, Rev. Dr. Taylor, alternately a Baptist or Methodist preacher, according to the company he hap pens to fall into. We have not learned what disposition has been made of his case. Iu Savannah, two persons have recently been scared up a* abolitionists. One, a man of the name of Fi*k, has been “tarred and cottoned” for collecting negroes and reading to them the history of John Brown, the Martyr ! In Yorkville, S. C., the Vigilance Committee, last week, overhauled several Irish pedlars, on one of whom was found a letter implicating him in some abolition ras cality. He was ordered to leave forthwith and forever. In Williamsburg, S. C., two teachers, of the names of Dodd and Hamil ton, have been ordered off as soon as their terms of tuition expire, the present month. We see hand-bills posted up, yesterday, in this city, calling a meeting of the citizens last night, for the purpose of forming a Vig ilance Committee, to look after the same class of vagabonds that are said to infest this community. This is well. ,The utmest vigilauce should be used by all good citizens to ferret out, and hand over to the authori ties, all suspicious characters and thieving scoundrels that may be found in our midst. Care should be taken, however, that no wrong or injustice be done to any person, without the most positive evidence ol guilt. Do not let private malice or sectional feel ing influence the “Vigilance Committee” to point the finger of condemnation where the testimony is wanting to convict the obnoxi ous individual. Especially, should we be careful not to breathe suspicion of infidelity to Southern Institutions, against men, sole ly because of northern birth, when these men have, for a quarter of a century, perhaps, east their lot* with us, and become, to all in tent* and purpose*, by choice and purchase, interestod in the slavery institution. As old Davy Crockett would say, “be sure you are right—then go ahead.” We will do all we can to aid the authorities in exposing and punishing the treacherous scoundrel* who plot against the property and lives of our people— but prefer that the law, and not | mob violence, be the order of the day. The Cum* of Choice. We have no words to express our abhor , rence of tho cruel, blood-thirsty aud tyran nical disposition of the Governor, as evinced by bis veto of the bill pardoning Win. 11. J Choice. In such a case, it is extremely doubtful whether the Executive has any ; right to interpose his veto—and had he pos ’ ssssed a particle ol human compassion in his bosom, he would not have exercised a I doubtful power in order to gratify his thirst for blood, or a thirst for the character of a stern respecter of the law. Tho Milledgeville correspondent of the Chronicle and Sentinel thus speaks of the feeling at Milledgeville, when thereto mes sage was delivered : “Jusl before the adjournment, the Governor sent Uiek to the Senate the bill for the pardon of Wm. A. Choice, ••with a eotniiuiuk'atiou in writing.” The announcement, for every one knew what it meant, caused an indignant thr’dl or horror to run through the whole liody. Gov. Brown had actually I n float the bill! and heaped up for him*elf: -wrath ! againM the day of wrath, covered himself with igno my and shown a heartlessness at which all men stand l aghast. The like w:i* never known in a oivilir-ed ! community, ami the execrations of mankind will j follow him to his grave. May he never want the sym pathy he know* not how to “feel, aud may God have mercy on his soul! Strong men trembled, and the heart stood still in its heating, at the horrible thought, that that inan stood with sword uplifted, cruel as hell —remorseless as the grave—unfeeling as death—to usher a maniac. overwhosemoral vision had cornea dark shadow of the Creator’s ow n sending, into the vast eternity, whence there is no return. An almost universal feeling of destation is manifest ed throughout the whole multitude here assembled— regardless of party feeling and party association.— After dinner, when the Senate met. the veto message was read. The Governor chooses to set up his judg ment against the sworn evidence of those who had known Choice and well, against the testimony of physicians and others, and his judgment is. thut'the poor man was sane beyond the possibility of a doutit. For what purpose is the veto power given to the Exe cutive ? To prevent the enactment of laws, which, in his matured ludgincnt. are unconstitutional, or which have been panned hastily and without due reflection. Not a soul ha- ever held that the bill was unconstitu tional. nor will any one pretend to say that it was pass ed hastily. Then why. in God's name, take the aw ful responsibility of sfieding innocent Mood ? It is notktiow n what may !*• further done in the matter. The feeling of indignation is so great that some think the bill may Is passed over the veto, but I can not think so. Some of the t>est legal men doubt the right of the Governor to veto a pardon bill, under the constitution, and held that it was unnecessary to send it to him at all—that he is pardoned already, and that the Court must order him discharged under a writ ofhabeaa corpus. It is impossible to conjecture what may be the termination. There is a strong talk, among even his own partisans, to call an indignation meeting and burn Brown in effigy. Imt that would protmMy result in just what he seeks—popularity.— That (popularity) was the ruling motive of his veto. He knew as welf as any one that the popular feeling was aaainst Legislative pardons—therefore he con cluded a veto would Is- popular, creating the idea that his stern respect for the majesty of the law overrode every other feeling, especially too, as his friends eonlil plead, that he was dooming one of his own par tisans, and one whose family and friends were his partisans. In adding, the malignity of his cruel heart looked to Molding himself up. in certain localities, as he supposed, iijs-n temporary alienation felt to wards Ben Hill, and others of “our friends, most of w hom were in favor of Choice's pardon. But there is another view of this case which renders it still more repugnant to the public sense of decency and righteousness. Our immaculate Governor assumes the of fice of vice-gerent of the Alnvgbty, and preaches up the penalties of the old Jewish criminal code, in justification of hi* death dealing veto! He says: “I am also aw are that it is urged that the pardoning powerls a God like power, and that it is nob le to ex ercise it. But it should not Is* forgotten, w hen this argument is urged, that God himself required no less than the Mood of hi* own sons- an atonement for sin. before be exercised the pardoning power. “And without shedding of blood is no remission.” i* the language of His eternal truth. God has said, in his revealed law', that “the murderer shall surely lie put to death. “Moreover, ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall Is* surely put to death.” *So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land, and the land eannotM* cleansed of the Mood that is shed therein, but by the Mood of him that shed it.” If. then, we would respect the revelations of God, and save our land from the stain ofinnoeeut I.loiml. w>- mu-t execute tic law and punish the guil ty. Some may say that the stern truths of the Bible are not suited to the humanity and sympathy of the present age. They are none the less truths, however, on that account; and it is none the less certain that the curse of God will rest upon that State or nation w hich disregards them, and thst Ills blessings will attend those who obey them. J< >SF.I’H E. BROWN'.” Woaro astounded at the blasphemous in timation contained in the above, that God himielf was so blood-thirsty as to require the bio *dof his own Son, before he exercis- j ud the pardoning power. Such an abomi- ! liable doctrine is not to be found in the Bi ble ; but if it wore, it is the worst kind of blasphemy for Joe Brown to compare him self to the Deity, ns lie has virtually done by bis garbled quotations from the Jewish Bible. Out, ye say, upon all all such self righteousness and miserable assumption*. Our Hook Table. •oTMr. Burke sends u* two vols.

We have received from our Representa tive in Congress, the Hon. Thomas Harde man jr., a copy of a circular recently issued by a “Northern Democrat,” touching the presenters* upon the Country,on the subject of slavery. After calmly arguing the ques tion of the Northern animus, to continue the “irrepressible conflict” against Slavery. The writer of this circular proceeds to point out the only practicable remedy to meet the emergency which is precipitated upon the South. We have room, to-day, for only a few extracts. He says : —The only safe course left for the Slave States, when their equality in the Senate was lost, was to demand anew guar anty in a place of that thus destroyed, and i to present at once the alternative of such a guaranty or separation. Nothing can be plainer than that the North and South can never live together in peace with this con stant source of irritation left open between them. Were that once removed, as it would be by the guaranty proposed, from the pale of national politics, quiet and harmony would ( be restored, and politicians and statesmen ! could once more devote themselves to those great and pressing national interests, which are now completely merged in this unprofit j able contest about Slavery. * * * * This mistake, in which the whole Anti i Slavery party of the North participate, and without which that party would dissolve, must he corrected This once done,.there would be no serious obstacle to obtaining a substantial guaranty for Southern rights. This, then, is the one thing for the South to do, if it wishes to save the Union. Without this, all other efforts are vain. But how is it to be accomplished? The South has already remonstrated, protested, assumed every at | titude of resistance, given every possible in ! dication, in words, of its determination to ; destroy the Union rather than submit; and Ij et the North persists. How, then, can the eyes of Northern men be opened ? There is still a way, notwithstanding.— Let some Southern statesman offer a reso lution, in Congress, recommending to the ! States the adoption of an amendment to the . Constitution to this effect, or something like I it: That no act or resolution of Congress, , involving or affecting the institution ofSlave ry, shall pass without the votes of a majority of the Representatives of at least one-third of the Slave States. The proposition would j of course be indignantly rejected by the House of Representatives ; if not, by the Senate; and the South would be entirely safe in assuming this rejection, as the voice of the Northern people; as there is scarcely a shadow of doubt that the proposition would be rejected by a majority at the North, if submitted now to the popular vote. Taking this, then, as conclusive evidence that a majority in the Northern States avail ing themaelves of the breach already made in the Constitutional defences of the South, are determined to persist in the attacks up on Southern institutions, let the whole Southern delegation at once withdraw from Congress to Richmond, and there take the initiatory steps for the formation of a South ern Confederacy; issuing at the same time to the Northern people a declaration, not of war, but of peace. Let them say to their Northern friends: We are aware that the j interests of the world are involved in our present action, and that our responsibility is i correspondingly great; but momentous as are the evils of separation, we prefer to en counter them all rather than those which must result from continued strife. Much as we love the Union, and desire to go hand in hand with our Northern brethren in up holding the banner of freedom, and promo ting the growth, prosperity, and glory of our common country, we must not, can not, sur render our rights as sovereign and indepen dent States. To be permitted to enjoy our own institutions in our own way, without the interference of those in no manner res ponsible for them, is all we demand. Let but this be guaranteed to us, and we wid stand by the Union to the end of time.— “ Northern Democrat” then proceeds to answer the objections to this course, and to urge its immediate adoption, before the con test of 1860 places a Black Republican in the Presidential Chair, and wound up, as follows: Let then the issue be presented. Let the South with one accord demand a guaranty. Let the course here pointed out be adopted. It is the only Alexandrian blow that can cut this Gordian Anti-Slavery knot; the only roup and etat by means of which harmo ny can be restored and the Union cement ed. A NORTHERN DEMOCRAT. C'onjf rt*s*>.~Thi.s National body met at Washington City, on Monday last. From the proceedings in another place, telegraph ed to the Augusta Constitutionalist, we learn that the House was not able, on that day, to elect a Speaker. The Republicans did not nominate a candidate. The Democrats nominated Bocock, of Va. The American and Opposition members had fuiled to agree as to their action. This is wrong. We sin cerely hope that the Southern Americans have gone for Bocock, and have been able to elect him. This is no time for partisan animosity, when the result may be the elec tion of a Black Republican to till the im portant office of Speaker of the House.— Let Southern men pay their first duty to their section, and leave the consequences to God. Dontlt of Robert Findlay* Our community lias been called to mourn the death of an upright, enterprising, intel ligent, useful and influential citizen. Ron kkt Findlat, so widely known as the head of that exteuaive establishment, “Findlay’s Iron Works,” died last Wednesday, of a ma lignant attack of pneumonia. His loss will be deeply felt in almost every department of business, by the wholo city—in the Baptist Church of which he was a leading member— and in every enterprise of public benevo lence. He was buried last Friday at Rose Hill, and the largest Funeral cortege we have ever seen in Macon, preceded and fol lowed his refnains to their last resting place. It included the Masonic Fraternity, and the whole Fire Department, of which deceased had formerly been a Chief.— Georgia Tele graph, bth ltint. Jack Frost.—There is a mellow ring in this elegant extract, which befits the mellow days of autumn : Mr. Jack Frost does but kiss the cbnsto face of nature, and behold! how she blushes in the maple, the woodbine and oak. and turns all manner of colors in the beech, the linden, the chestnut and elm. How beauti ful she looks in her heightened color! But her brilliant complexion is, alas! but a hec tic —an evidence of frailty—a precursor of speedy decay. Consumption imparts this glorious and exquisite loveliness to her coun tenance —but the expression is not of this world, it is celestial, the ushering in of the indescribable future. The beauty of the world is most ravishing when first touched by the magical finger of the frost, which is at once the death-stroke of the foliage, and a cause of its dying-dol phin splendors. Thus the sun sheds a lustre over creation at his setting, surpassing his noonday glories, filling the universe with a flood of light and beauty, as if to indemnify mankind for the privations of both during the approaching night. So nature dresses herself in her wondortul beauty, as apartiug pledge of her love, and as a memorial for us to take and to cherish during the sombre days of the coming winter, when no flowers can blossom, no verdure quicken. —There is in Bourbon County, Kentucky, a family consisting of a man, his wife and eight children, whose average hight is six feet four and a half inches, and average weight two hundred and fourteen pounds.— One of the sons is the tallest in the family, and measures six feet eleven inches, and he also weighs nearly two hundred and ninety six pounds. A daughter who died was six feet three inches in hight, and weighed one hundred and sixty pounds. A large family, 1 that i The luereaNiiig Desire for Os ten TATIOC3 DISPLAT. One of the most alarming evils of the pres ent generation, in this country—one which forebodes no good for our instituctiona —one which constrasts discreditably with the re publican simplicity which distinguished our sensible ancestors, is the eonstantly-increas ing desire for ostentatious display. It is an evil which is both politically and socially demoralizing—overtly striking at the very genius of our system of government. In almost every condition of life it finds wil ling coadjutors— weak-minded men and “strong-minded women,” captivated by its alluring attractions. “Lowliness is young ambition’s ladder.” The fable of the milk maid’s ambition is demonstrative of the pres ent every-day life, in almost every city cir cle. “The almighty dollar” is coveted not for the rational enjoyments that it will pur. chase, but for the ostentatious display that it will afford, and the consequent position it will secure in the esteem of a fashionable, heartless world. There is scarcely a sacri fict, except in inflexibly honest hearts, that the rising genrntion is not disposed to make to obtain it, in order to receive an introduc tion into that which is familliarly designat ed! “upj*er ten-dom.” The principal and the employee, public and private, are alike not unfrequently pre pared to part with their integrity, in view of its overshadowing virtues, in order to be come its possessor. Thus it is making the age an age of vice; it is making what is term ed “the first society” in the United States, vulgar society —the laughing-stock of en lightened Christendom elsewhere. Nor is it to the sterner sex alone that it is so seduc tive of all that is strictly upright and honor able. It operates to no inconsiderable extent upon the refined consciences of tender-heart ed mothers and self-sacrificing maidens.— Natural matches are going out of use in the same ratio that unnatural ones are coming into use, particularly in aspiring upstart cir cles. Congeniality neither in age or dispo sition is regarded as a requisite for a matri monial alliance. The formation of such a union is becoming as much a business trans action as the transfer of a landed property for a fair equivalent. The moral sense of observers, so far from being shocked by a procedure of the kind, tacitly, if not admir ingly, acquiesces. Why should not the personification of superannuated wealth pay as high as it chooses for youth and beauty? Why should not youth and beauty make in ordinate extortions upon supercilious age in search of victims to its inflated vanity ? A heartless world will answer, why not ? If the press have a mission on earth, it is to lasli with a steady, unsparing hand, vice and folly. The exercise of its power, in this respect, was never more emphatically demanded than at the present period. The most odious, contemptible aristocracy that ever existed in a civilized country, is incess antly manifesting itself in this republic— the aristocracy of a vicious, demoralizing upstartism—a debasing aristocracy. To our shame, it must be confessed that it is no exotic. It had its origin in this Union. It exists in no other country, and it is stealth ily laying hold of the pillars of our national edifice. Its pretentious habits and manner* arc already insufferable. Even at this me tropolis it must be rebuked, and sjteedily.— In the next Congress we expect to hear voices raised that will hold it up to the unrestrain ed scorn of every well-inclined citizen. It was not until after the country lost the ser vices of Randolph of Roanoke, that treasury favorites and their stipendiaries and apes dared, upon their ill-gotten gains, to com mence ostentatious displays as a means of obtaining consideration in quarters to which their ignorance and vulgarity would other wise have utterly precluded their entrance. It is understood now-a-days that no upstart, however low, who can keep a smart car riage and deep liveried servants, is refused admittance into diplomatic salons. This is the passport for an endorsement of Wash ington gentility, par excellence. When an upstart can have the honor of dining a for eign minister, his right to aristocratic dis tinction is decidedly established. We are resolved that no influence which we can in any manner rightly exercise, shall be withheld in improving the morals and manners of the national metropolis. As it is the centre of the political confederation, there can be no health, practically, in our system, unless the heart be sound. All that conflicts with the purifying of that heart, we shall expose with the utmost indifference as concerns consequences to ourselves. We shall constantly hold the truthful mirror up in full view of artificial faces.— Richmond Enquirer. The Press. Jons 11. Seals, Esq., of the Atlanta (Ga.) Temperance Crusader, has associated Mr. A.

Beecher on Free Negroes.— How are the free colored people treated at the NorthT They are almost without education, with but little sympathy for ignorance. They are refused the common rights of citizen ship v. hich the whites enjoy. They cannot even ride in tliecars of our city railroads. They arc snuffed at in the house of God, or tolerated with ill-disguised disgust. Can a black man be a mason in New York? Let him be employed as a journeyman, and eve ry Irish lover of liberty that carries the hod or trowel would leave at once, or cum* pel him to leave. Can the black man be a carpenter ? There is scarcely a carpenter shop in New York in which a journeyman would continue to work if a black man was employed in it. Can the black man engage in the common industries of life ? There is scarcely one in which he can engage. He is crowded down, down, down, through the most menial callings, to the bottom of so ciety. We take them, and then refuse to allow their children to go to our public schools. YVe tax them, and then refuse to sit by them in God’s house. YVe heap upon them moral obloquy, more atrocious than that which the master heaps upon the slave.— And, notwithstanding all this, we lift our selves up to talk to the Southern people about the rights and liberties of the human soul, and especially the African soul. A Romance of the Plains.— The Fort ; Scott Democrat announces the arrival of a Cheyenne chief, rejoicing in the startling i soubriquet of “YV'ild Bill.” Though a white man by birth, lie has always lived with the i Indians. His visit to Fort Scott was on the ! s.ore of “love.” In a “ Pike’s Peak’’ train I he happened to see a woman with whom he | proceeded to fall in love after an expeditious uiaiiuer. She reciprocated, (so runs the sto ry,) and it was mutually agreed that the chains of wedlock should le forged at Fort Scott. “Bill” was true to his word; the te male wasn’t. (“Atlovers’ vows Jove laughs.') No Miss ‘-Pike's Peak” was to be found, aud the naturalized red-skin was forced to return to hia wonted haunts “disconsolate and alone.” Quite pathetic, isn’t it ?

It appears from the evidence, that Thomp son has shaved off his beard, and had his hair cut close ; which rendered a pretty close inspeeticn’necessary to identify him. Thompson is now in jail, and Justice Sum mers of Alexandria who had him arrested, telegraphed on yesterday evening to Gov. Wise, for authority to summon Mr. Wil liams, the watchman at the Bridge at Har per’s Ferry. It will be investigated. N. 11.

Mr. Hill in his place in the Senate, is re ported to have used this language. “It was Savannah that had initiated this beautiful system of improvement. Indeed he might almost say that the State owed her greatness to Savannah.” I am at a loss to see how the State of Georgia can owe her greatness in any degree to Savannah. Savannah is indebted to Georgia for what she is and not Georgia to Savannah for her greatness.— The idea of building a railroad from Macon to Savannah, originated with one of Ma con’s gifted and deceased citizens. The idea of building a railroad from Savannah to any point up the country, never entered the brain of any man in Savannah until it was put there by a citizen of Macon. In stead of Savannah originating the project of building the Central railroad, she was “ initiated ” and instructed into the idea by Macon. Georgia “owed greatness to Savan nah” in what particular? How? Why? Mr. Editor when the thought was expressed to the philosophical and venerated Berrien, he looked on the thing as vissionary—en tirely impossible and impracticable ; Savan nah says, she made Macon ; tee know Macon galvanised Savannah into life. The truth of history, in this matter, should be vindi cated. lam prepared with the facts to do it, I never assert a fact without being able to give the authority. 1 know what I do.

Respecting the pardon of Cook, one of the Harper's Ferry conspirators, which great es fort has been made to procure, the Richmond Enquirer says: The pardon of Cook is out of the question —he is the most guilty of all the Charles town prisoners. So far from his being the dupe of Old Brown, Ossawattomie is the victim of Jno. E. Cook. Cook misled Brown, deceived him, and imposed upon all the prisoners; he gave de scriptions of the persons of those who fled. Had Cook, who lived two years in Virginia, while engaged in planning this very crime, made known to Old B own the actual state of the negroes, had he informed Old Brown that he had uot beeu able to induce one slave to join, and that no aid was to be ex nected from the non-slaveholders. John Brown had too much shrewdness not to have seen the folly upon which he was en gaged, and he would have abandoned the undertaking. Cook married in Virginia for the purpose of better concealing his designs, and not arousing suspicions; he is doubly criminal; for he sought the destruction of those near and dear to his wife. Cook had visited and been hospitibly entertained by the very gentlemen he afterwards robbed ; he knew from actual experiment that no slaves would join him; he knew that with out large reinforcements from the North the attempt must fail; and hence he was the first to fly, and planned his flight beforehand, leaving his deluded comrades to meet the fate his deceptions had brought upon them. The fact of his connection with Governor Willard, while it will, doubtless, increase the regret which an Executive always feels in withholding pardon, will have no influ ence in the present case.. When men have connections in high position, it should be a restraint upon their conduct. Execution of Old Brou n. Charlestown-, Va., Dec. 2 — 4 o’clock. Ossawattomic Brown was hung this mor ning at 11 j o’clock. Everything was quiet. | His remains were given over to his wife, at Harper’s Ferry. He made no speech. Charlestown’, Dec., 2. The Military assembled at 9 o’clock, A. M. 1000 soldiers took their places on the field ; and, also, at various places as laid down in the general order. Everything wai con ducted with the strictest military discipline, as if the town was in a state of seige. The mounted service were stationed in the woods to the left of the Scaffold, and Pick ets were stationed over towards Shenandoah Mountains, in readiness. The Military on the field formed two hol low squares, within the inner one was the scaffold, and between the inner and outer lines the citizens were admitted. No one was allowed outside the lines, except the mounted guards. At 11 o’clock Brown was brought out of jail, accompanied by Sheriff Campbell and hi.-- assistants, and Cupt. Avis, and Jailor Small. A wagon containing a white pine coffin was driven up, on which Brown was seated. Six companies, Infantry, Rifle Com- Enny and Horse, General and Staff, num ering twenty-five officers, headed the pro cession, and moved towards the place of ex ecution. No minister of the Gospel accompanied Brown, as he desired no religious ceremo nies either in the jail or on the scaffold. He looked calmly on the people. Mounted the scaffold with a firm tread. His arms were pinioned by the Sheriff. He bid farewell to the jailor. Sheriff Campbell and Capt. Avis. At 11 30 the trap of the Scaffold was pulled away, and, after a few slight struggles Brown yielded up the ghost. His body was placed in the coffin, and, subsequently, carried to Harper’s Ferry, under a strong military es cort, there to be delivered to his wife. Congressional. Washington*, Dec. 5. In the Senate to-day, Mr. Mason, ot Vir ginia, offered a resolution providing for the appointment of a select committee to en quire into the nature and consequences to the General Government of the recent cap ture of the United States Armory, at Har per's Ferry. Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois, gave notice of an amendment, by providing, also, for an inquisition into the nature of the re cent capture of the Frankfort Arsenal. After the usual resolution, notifying the House of its readiness to proceed to business, the Senate adjourned. In the House, nearly all the members were present, and the voting for Sj>caker was commenced. The vote on first ballot was as follows : Sherman, of Ohio, 06; Glow, of Pennsylvania, 43; Bocock, of Virginia, 80 ; and Boteler, of Virginia, 14. Twelve wtbar members were voted for, and received, each, from one 1 to 6 votes. — Grow then withdraw, not wishing to embar rass the Republicans who had divided theii votes between him and Sherman. Mr. Clark, of Missouri, offered the follow ing : Whereas certain members of th> House, now in nomination for Speaker, have endorsed and recommended Helper's “Im pending Crisis,” be it Re sol red, That the doctrines and senti ments therein contained are insurrectionary and hostile to the domestic peace and trail | quility of the country, and, therefore, thai no member of this House, who has endorsed or recommended it, is lit to be Speaker ol this House. Several Republicans then arose to points of order, but were not successful in stop ping Mr Clark, who poured a few hot shot into their ranks. Several then disclaimed for their party insurrectionary and dissolu tion of the Union sentiments. There were lively times, but good bu inor prevailed, and the House adjourned.— The probability is that the slavery question will oe discussed in both Houses to-morrow. Con (creational. Washington, Dec. 6th. — Both Houser convened to-day at 12 o’clock. In the Sen ate Mr. Ma>n, of Virginia, offered a reso lution providing for the appointment of a •elect committee to enquire iuto the nature and consequences to the general government of the recent outbreak in the U. S. Armory at Harper’s Ferry. Mr. Trumbull gave notice that he would offer an amendment providing alo for an in quisition to ascertain the nature of the re cent capture of the Frankfort Arsenal (?) The usual resolution was passed notifying the House that the Senate was in readiness to proceed to business. The Senute then ad journed. Hovsk. —Nearly all the members were present at the call.
