Simple-Heated lloxestt or A CURST* MAX. —Rev. Mr. Derwcll, a pious old Meth odist minister, went from Tennessee to Ken tucky in 1812, to visit his relative, tbe lion. Wm. Bolton. Tbe man was not a religious man, but was a gentleman, and invited the minister to have family worship every eecn ing. While he was visiting there. Judge Cone and his wife, from Nashville, arrived there to pass the night, and Mr. Bolton, be ing a little embarrassed, said to tbe minister as lie bcougbt out the Bible, that he had bet ter be short, as the judge was probably not accustomed to such things. “Very well, very well,” laid he, and reading a single verse, he knelt down and prayed : “Oh Lord, we are very poor and needy creature*, and we know T boti art able to supply all our wants, bat cousin William #av# that Judge Gone and his wife, from Nashville, are here, and are not used to family worshio, and however needy we arc, there ts no time to spare in telling our wants. Amen.” The was taken all aback, and so was cou sin William. They both pressed the old gentleman to conduct the services in his own way, which he did to their gratification. Miss Fraxob* Piiilax, quite a young la dy, recently assumed the white veil at the hands of Archbishop Alemany, at the Pre sentation Convent, Sun Francisco. A Ibtjc number of ladies and gentlemen present, ly invitation, witnessed the ceremony. At 8} o’clock Mass was sung by the Archbish op assisted by several clergymen. The no vice, who has been an inmate of the Convert during the past six months, wi- led by the Superioress* and Sisterhood into the chapel, preceJod by a nt> a her of children dressed in white ami wearing w reath?, all of whom carried lighted candles —herself being attir ed in the richest bridal costume. Death or Theodore Sedgwick.—Stock bridge, Mass., Dec. 9.—Theodore Sedgwick, the United States District Attorney for the Southern D.strict of New York, died here Mat night Union Maas Meeting at FanenilHali* i Bostox, Dec. B.— The Union meet ing; at Faneuil Hall today was* pre- j sided over by ex-Governor Lincoln, assisted by one hundred and twenty nine Vice Presidents, including four i ex-Governors of the Mate and six ! Secretaries. The principal business localities in tbe State were repre- j sen ted in the organization The hall was packed in every part, and many hundreds were unable to gain admittance. Kev. M r. Blagden, of the Old South Church, invoked the Divine bless ing on the nation, the State, and the audience assembled. The President, ex-Governor Lin* coin, made the opening address, in which he briefly alluded to the event which seemed to call for the present demoristration. Ten Resolutions were then read, the third of which is as follows : Hesolnd, That we look with in dignation and abhorrence upon the recent invasion of the Common wealth of Virginia ; that however narrow or however comprehensive was the clandestine and iniquitous scheme in its instruments or its ex ecution, it was an undisguised as sault upon the peace and welfare of the whole country ; that we deeply sympathise with the’ people of Vir ginia in the trying sconces which they have be. :: called to pass through, and proffer them and their civil authorities and those of the Federal Government, our unfailing countenance and support in the maintenance of the laws of the land and the public peace. The Gth resolution reads : Resolved, That the unchangeable union of these Stales is indispensa ble to the prosperity and glory of each, and of all, and even to our con tinued existence, as a civilised and enlightened nation, and that in ! league with our patriotic brethren | throughout the Union we solemnly pledge ourselves to uphold it with our lives, our fortunes, and our sa cred honor. The 7th resolution declares fealty to the Constitution, and that we will faithfully and unreservedly carry out all its obligations and require menls. The Bth resolution declares that we will discountenance everything tending to produce alienation offeel ing between the North and South. The oth resolution denounces the apologists for the late raid upon Virginia and holds as guilty before God and the country those who in duce it. After the resolutions were read Hon. Edward Everett was introduc ted and made a lengthy speech.— He was followed by Hon. Caleb Cushing. Letters were read from ex-Presi dent Pierce, ex-Governor John 11. Clifford, Prof. Felton, lion. B. F. Butler, E. I>. Beach, Judge Manton, B. F. II ailett, and numerous other prominent citizens of the State. As a public demonstration the meeting was one of the greatest that has ever occurred in New England. The sentiments uttered by the speakers called forth repeated marks of ap proval from the immense audience. The resolutions were adopted and the meeting adjourned. Wanted: “Even.ngs at Home*” Not the inf**r sring and instructive book under that liile, lut the very scenes which the book delineates ; and which, unless we mistake, are in some circles fast vanishing away and wnl soon he, if they are not. alrea dy, amor.g t-ie things that have been, but are not An evening at horn*, how is it to be found? Jut mark the calls for public and social meetings ren-i from the pulpit on the next Sabbath, and advertised by the various mor al and hrerar- a-< fi -.lions of any laree city; and what evening i- I ft fora quiet comma nion will your own family, or a social call on ahi and ? What room ia there for thor ough a niiy instruction? The father is a way ail the iLy, the mother ha.” her work, and the children are at school. Now, if there is a meeting of the family out ever}’ evening, what time is left for household teaching?— There is much truth, with perhaps a slight coloring of exaggeration in the anecdote, given in a recent serial, of one who had fail ed iu business, and, when asked what he in tended to do, replied, “I shall remain at home a while, and get acquainted with my family.” We believe this constant drawing away from home and home-udluence is demoraliz ing; and that it is lime Christians should inquire whether one reason why they do not grow n; -re rapidly in grace and knowl edge is not that they are ever hearing and never meditating on what they hear; ever running from meeting to meeting, and nev er at home. Is there not great danger that “home” inflneno s will lose their charm when we come there only to eat and sleep, offer ing. indeed, the morning and evening pray er, hut never sitting down with the house hold in the sweet communion and the pre cious instruction that were always found in the olden times, when families had some “evenings at Home.” From the Augusta Constitutionalist. Tin* Harper’s Ferry Affair. We haye, fiom time to time, published telegraphic rejairts and articles from our ex change", in relation to the Harper’s Ferry foray, its inception, progress, murderous re sults, arrest of many of the outlaws engag ed in it, and thetr trial. ;.nd f: al execution on the gallows. Oid J,_, l: m Brown, known as Ossowattomie Brown, the ringleader, was hung on Friday the 2nd ir.st., and four of his accomplices, Shields 6tfH and Jonx Capelaxd, negroes, and John E. Cook, and Edwsu Coppie, whites, were hung on Friday the 10th in at. Two of the party, by the names of Stephens and Hazlett, are under arrest, and will be tried next May. Those who are known to have been en gaged in this affair, and who mad# their es cape and have not been arrested, are F. J. Merriatn, C. P. TiJJ, Barclay Coppie, Ov en Brown, and a u< g-o by the name of Au derson. It is generally admitted that An derson, ('be negro,) Merriam, Tidd, and Coppie, whites, succeeded in effecting their escape to Car-ad*; while Owen Brown is believed to be somewhere in one of the northern States. We give a very brief description of those who were executed : Old Ossowattomie John Brown was born on the 9:h < f May, 1800, in Uie State of Con riecticut. lie was over six feet high, of slenitr form, and was executed at Charles town, Ya.. on tbe s -condos December, for murder, insurrection and treason. John E. Cook. wa about thirty years old, ar.d a native of Connecticut He was about five teet e,g!>t mem s I srh, well educated, and renpectd>!y cornice eti in family relations; had light h ,ir and fair complexion, and was executed on the 16th of December. Edm Coppie was born in Ohio, was about twenty lour years old, five feet nine I inches high, and with a swarthy visage. He expiated Lis crimes on the gallows in com pany with his confederate, John E. Cook. Shields Green was a black negro, about t twenty two years old. and was bom in the i Stare of New York. John Copetind was a mulattonegro. about I twenty two years old, and was hung at the same time with his accomplice Green, on i the 16th of December. The body of John Brown was taken to his , former residence at North Elba, in New York, and was there interred. Coppie and Cook’s remains were taken to the West, and tae two negroes were buried near Charles town. GEORGIA CITIZEN. L. F. W. ANDREWS: CITY PRIKTKR. MACON, GA., DECEMBER 93, ’59.

Freeman and Cos., are now opening a large stock of seasonable Goods, to meet the wants of the approaching holidays. See advortisrment. Adjournment.— The Georgia Leg islature adjourned, tine die, on the 10th in stant, having passed some 200 hills, and leaving several hundred on the table, beside# those consigned to the “tomb of the capu lets,” by Executive veto, or otherwise. Very few acts of a public nature were passed. We shall continue the list of bills passed, until the whole is published, though we fear that it will hardly pay our readers the trouble of reading. A Fair Hit!—Prior to the adjourn ment of the Georgia Legislature, the Hon. Mr. Tatum, of Dade, moved that 200 blank veto messages be printed for the usa of the Governor, which motion, we believe, pre vailed. Another motion ought to have been carried, that Joe Brown be authorized to prepare anew eodificution of the laws of Georgia, with power to alter and amend, according to his own superior and immacu late judgment, and that both branches of the Legislature be henceforth altogether abolished, before this “one man power.” Viva la Humbug ! As we Expected.—By a private let ter to tbe Editor, from Alabama, we learn that the bigoted clergy of Montgomery were at the bottom of the recent legislation of that State against “Spiritual Manifesta tions.” Finding that the people, generally, were rushing to Dr. Redman’s rooms, and that church members, and even the more liberal portion of the clergy, were becoming interested in the demonstrations of the great fact of immortality, the “Lords Spiritual” I petitioned the General Assembly to prohibit all further opening of celestial light to the benighted children of humanity, and the leg islators, pliant tools of priestcraft, did as they were bid, without argument or reason assigned for their intolerance! So it has always been. The orthodox clergy, for the most part, arc the heavy clog* and brakes on the wheels of progress, even in spiritual things, and have been, ever since the days i of the Ephesians, when they amassed wealth by making silver shrines to the goddess Di ana !

Esq., of the Independent South, Griffin, has gold out his establishment to Messrs. Hoi ry P. Hill and James 11. Logau, Esqrs., who design, immediately, to commence anew pa per, under the title of the “Southern Dem ocrat.” The “Empire State” will not be resumed. Our friend Burr has our congrat ulations on his retirement, which we hope is but temporary. Dr. Blackburn, of the Lumpkin Palla dium, has sold out his interest in that jour nal and gracefully retired from the profes sion. Miss Blunt retires from her josition as assistant editor. The “ Temperance Crusader” will soon appear enlarged and improved. Alsoadai- Iv paper, of the title of the “ Locomotive,” will be started from the same office, at At lanta. Mrs. Bryan has retired from the •“Crusader” and gone to Thomasville, Ga.— her home—but will hereafter contribute to the Field and Fireside. The “Southern Confederacy” has become a daily sheet, making two dailies and one tri-weekly, besides several other weekly and monthly publications in Atlanta! Macon people, do you hear that? Congress— No Speaker Yet ! We have received a letter from an able Representative from the 3d District, which explains, very satisfactorily, why the South ! ein Americans have not united with the De mocracy in the election of a Speaker of the House. 3lr. Hardeman thus sets forth the facts of the case, and tho reasons for the in dependent action of the Opposition member# from the South: “ We cannot l and it i* daily and hourly admitted here,) elect Bocock, could we give him every vote. They (the Democrat#) can onlv control for their candidate 90 votes. Add to that our whole vote, 23, and you see we only have then 113 votes, not enough to elect; and it has been definitely settled here, that the moment we go to them, the Anti- Lecotnpton Democrats, who have been throw ing their vote# away, will, in order to pre vent the election of an Administration Dem ! ocrat, vote for Sherman. They have sid jhis oa the floor, again and again. You see by the paper I sent you to-day that Fth ridge, of Tennessee, made a distinct propo sition that we would go for Bocock. when ever they could get enough votes, with ours, to elect him, provided they would agree to come to one of our party, whenever we would swell his vote, so that, with them, he could be elected. But this fair proposition is indignantly rejected, because we are not recognized as a party. They surely should control tbeir own party, before we are called on to abandon ours, to save their siuking fortunes. The truth is, every move made by them has been, not as would be iaferred, not at the Republicans, but at the Southern Op positionist*. They wish, by threats, to drive us’in to the Democratic ranks, and after we have voted for their man, use it that we have disorganized our own party. Every Democrat here admits that our votes will avail them nothing, unless they can get some of their own men who are vo ting against them, and they have no hope of this, and so admit. Still, they and their papers charge upon us a delay of the organ ization. I think an American from the South or Sherman will le elected. I would not be surprised to see Mr. Boteler, of Vir ginia, settled upon as a compromise man. Briggs, of New York, is as true as steel He is an eminently conservative man, and will vote for us to the bitter end. You now have a little insight into the man agement of Democratic affairs here. The first duy of the session the) began an in flammatory debate upon the slavery ques tion, intended alorfe for home consumption, and they are still consuming time, speaking to empty benches. I have heard the *jleak ers denounce Sherman as unfit to live and as unfit to die, and have -ecu them, at the conclusion of their remark*, arm Sherman and walk off in eociui glee! So much for their sincerity and honest indignation. I tell you tb p-Jiti” ;aus of *h D rr.o orutic party are making Black Republicans every day, by menace* and threats, arid the South will yet learn that their Represent!! tives, by imprudence, have added fuel o the flames. The moment you say you are no Democrat, you are denounced as an enemy to Southern Rights, and ruled outol South ern organizations. But enough. I write in haste. Your, Ac., T. HARDEMAN, Ju.” Macon A Western Railroad. We are indebted to Isaac Scott, Esq, President of the Macon A Western Railroad, for a copy of his Fourteenth Annual Report to the Company, just published—the fiscal year closing the last day of November. It makes the extraordinary exhibit of a Rail road Comp my out of debt—not owing a dollar, either of floating or funded indebted ness, and with a cash balance in the Treas ury, of $130,541 94. In closing up a sum mary of tbe results of the twelve years of his administration, the President says:— ‘ During this whole period, the credit of the Company has always been maintained.— More than the entire capital has been paid back to the Stockholders in Dividends, and now, at the close of this year, it stands un encumbered by either floating or funded t debt, and worth fully its cost to the owners.’ During this time, upwards of three and a half millions have been collected and disburs ed under this lunctionary, with a loss of less than one half one per cent, and a certainty of the ultimate reclamation of the larger part of this small deficit. Such illustrations of judgment, economy, integrity and fidelity in Railroad management, are beyond all praise. They are no less an honor to the State and to the business community, than to the offi cers of the Company themselves. From the Report of the Superir.dendent, Alfred L. Tyler, we see that the Road rc_ cepts for the past year, were : From Pas sengers, $131,730 95; Freight", $231,973- 15; Mails, $10,201. Total, $373,905 85. The expenses for the same period were 44 percent, on these faming*, leaving a nett balance of $209,784 22. The increase iu the business of tbe Road over last year, a mounts to $48,073 15. The operations for the year were conducted without accident, save the burning of some cotton on freight. The Report is voluminoii", and exceedingly minute and thorough in its informat on upon every point of possib!* inter st to Stockhol ders. If it fails to satisfy them that their interests have been dil _'<-.itly studied and skillfull} - administer! and ’• y will show them selves more unreasonable than men ten get to be.— Geo'~'j ; a Telegrop ; , of the 20th. JnjSU’We publi>h tin- following truth ful testimony to the condition of souri ern slaves, from the “Kpisc pal R - cord, (Chicago, Illinois.) whose editor attended the late General Convention in Richmond, Va. Without entering at all upon the qttes tion of slavery, we wish to say that af ter a fortnight spent among the masters and slaves of Virginia, and seeing the latter under all circumstances, au 1 in every condition—in the house and in the field—in the city and in the country, we give it as our unqualified opinion that nine-tenths of the slaves in the Oid Do minion are tnfini.ely happier and sub jected to fewer privat is than their free brethren in ihe North—that, except in rare, very rare instances, they are, from motives of interest, if from no other, treated kindly by their owners or em ployers. In regard to the slave auc tions, which occur daily in Richmond— the largest slave inart in the world, the number changing hands annually vary ing from twelve to fifteen thousand—we are able to say that the slaves, in many instances, from their love of change and desire to travel, look forward with pleas ure to being sold and going South ; and that mothers are not, as has been rep resented, often separated from young children, nor are husbands and wives separated except in rare instances, such as the forced sale of a person’s proper ty who lias failed, by order of the cred> itors, very often Northern men, who or der them to be sold in the manner in which they will realize the largest a mount. Our friend went to the tobacco facto ries also and he says : In all the manufacturing establish ments wehave visited,either in England, Scotland, France, or the northern States, we have never teen operatives looking so happy und comfortably as the slave engaged in pressing tobacco in the Ruh mond factories. They are generally found singing or with a broad grin on their faces. Each has a certain task al lotted to him for the day, which they of ten finish by three or four o’clock iu the afternoon, if they ch >ose to work af terwards they can do so, being paid for it. A great many in this way make from one to three dollars per week. We hope the day may soon come when the laboring population of the world may be as wtil fT. both for this world and the nex . a> the-laves * f the South. Tn k accusation against Dr. J. C. Ayer, of Lowell, for stabbing R S. Fay, Jr., the Treasurer of the Middietex Mill*, ha.* been withdrawn because the prosecutor f< und that no complaint against him could be ?u ----miued. Tbe fact is that Dr. Ayer merely defended himself as best he might, with u penknife be happened to have iu hi* hand, against a cowardly assault made on him from behind, with the premeditated intention to dishonor and punish him for the exposure he has made, and is making of the wrongs prac tised by the officers upon our manufacturing corporations. This community not only up hold* the Doctor’s successful defence of his l>erson, but it heartily approves bio course in publicly denouncing the Titeßarmncle Fam ily management—tbo abuse of our public property for private ends. Dr. Ayer’s med icines, however valuable, .are rot all for which the masses of our people hold him in regard.—Boston Hi raid. For the Georgia Citizen. “To the Victors Beloug the Spoils.” Mr. Editor :—There is not to be found in the Engltsh language a sentence so full of ruin and devastation to political morality, as the one that heads this article. To whom belongs the “bad eminence’’ of introducing this principle in the Govern ment? Let history answer. Let one of the immortal trio answer. Hear Calhoun, ns he speaks in 1834, in the Senate of the United States, and tells the country that the Democratic party “ was only held together by the cohesive power of public plunder.” It was then and there, in reply to Mr. Cal houn, that a partisan friend of the then ex isting administration announced the doc trine that “to the victors belong the spoils.” From that period, Mr. Editor, is to be dated the commencement of the political degene racy and corruption of the present day. Prior to 1834, the qualifications for office were, “is he honest, capable and faithful?” After 1834, the only qualification for ofiice was, “is he a faithful party man ?” Is he devoted to the party ? was all that was ne cessary to be known to secure office. Pas sive obedience, then, as now, was the order of the day. All fell down, then, and wor shipped the political Juggernaut of that dav, but a few independent, daring and Ro man spirits. Who were they ? Ihe most prominent of these were the three immor tals of the United States—Clay, Calhoun and Web ster—men who stood above the pos sibility of price—men who lived alone for the good of their country. To return and analyze the doctrine, “To i the victors belong tbe spoils,” is my pur ! pose. 1 said the Democratic party did in : troduce, and was responsible for, the past : and present corruption of the Government. I will now proceed to prove it. The first time this terrible principle, “ To the victors belong the spoils,” was ever an nounced and carried out, was by a Demo cratic administration of the Government; and from that dav to this, this “ time hon | “ # ! ored” principle of the Democratic party has been faitbfnlly adhered to. Corruption, from that day to this, did enter into, and is in the Government. The result of evciy election confirms all I say. “To the vic tors belong the spoils.” Spoils of what? Spoils of high public duty; spoils of the solemn responsibility of administering tbe law; spoils of the powers and attributes of sovereignty; spoils of the pledges ol rneu; spoils of oaths made before men and to Hea ven. How hateful! how full of turpitude! How terrible the effects of this principle upon the political morality of the country 1 It has destroyed the moral independence of the people. Your elections are now scram bles for office. What is your representative system, now? It neither represents mind nor material interest. Personal needs and j desperate fortunes arc only represented now. “To the victors belong the spoils.” This I villainous principle is the end of Demo j cratic success. It carries the basest ele ments of interest into the Government. It makes an obligation. It binds the citizen to party dictation and party support. What is the language of the principle? I have worked in the election ; lam paid; it was a bargain ; I am tied hand and foot. A distinguished Statesman said, it made the political action of the country “mesmeric.” It takes away from the individual proper, I personal freedom, and puts him under the mesmerizer—the caucus, the party. The caucus of the Democratic party is like a galvanic battery, and the nominations of that caucus are the wires that convey the influence which is to strike those elected with palsy, or move them to irresponsible, •galvanic action. The only law of the Dc mocratic party is this : “ The parly, right lor wrong.” Public h.mor is distinct from private worth. Now, according to Demo cratic principle, a man may be publicly dis honest, yet privately honest ; that is, it is right to steal the public money, but very wrong too atcal private money. Again : you may use tbe vilest means to succeed in politics, and the loaders of (he Democratic party say there is nothing wrong in it. They say you may do that publicly which, if done in the private walks of life, would sink the person doing it so low that no re pentance would ever raise und put him back where lie stood before the act was done. So man is privately honest that is publicly dishonest. AN’hat is it to be publicly dis honest ? It is, in plain language, to lie, to defraud, and to deceive. What is it to be privately dishonest? It is to lie, defraud and deceive. Where is the difference be twixt the two? The tendency of the pres -1 ent age to political immorality and corrup tion, is an awful and alarming fact. “To the victors beloug the spoil*.” The effect of that doctrine and principle has coma nigh, if it does not yet bring about, a terri ble und stupendous catastrophe. LOWNDES. Returning Reason in Exgland. —Some | of the London journals, according to the New York Express, take a much more na tional view of the Harper’s Ferry outrage than the “irrepressible conflict” men in this country.’ The Morning Herald has an arti cle on the subject, the substance of which is this: Slavery is an institution planted in the South, not by the present generation ol Southern men, hut by “ we, the people of England.” The American colonies made an effort to rid th iuselves of the institution while they were British colonies, hut British influence picvauted. And to-day, it is the same “wo, the people of England,” that is the main prop and pillar of the same slave ry—supporting it by buying of it, as it did lust year, over $100,000,000 worth of slave s grown cotton, rice and tobacco. Hownin just, then, how unfair, and above all, how inconsistent, the Herald suggests, for Exe ter Hall to be joining in any crusale, or in any apotliesis of Old Brown. Excited Southern Feeling against the North—Northern Traders Compelled to Return Home. —A speciul telegraphic dispatch from Washington, to tbe Boston Traveler, states that thirty-two gentlemen, agent* of Nw York and Boston houses, ar rived at the Capital from the South, and re jKirt the feeling of indignation so great against the Northerners that they were com pelled to return and nbundon their business. These gentlemen have bean known for many ! years as traders iu the Sou ill. They also rc i port that Northerners of long residence in the South have been disfigured and driven from their homes. Eleven business men, who were on their way South, returned again, after having reached a station in Vir ginia, being turned hack by a vigilance com mittee. They say the feeling in six of the States through which they have pussed is very intense aguinst the North, and again*t the continuance of the Union. Death by Opium.—Mr. Wm. H.
