She bore hia opposi tion with great good humor ; the truth is women like to meet with opposition some times, if only to show they have a will of j their own. Bellevue is not Car from Pans, and before Octave had exhausted the common-places against the country, the carriage had stop ped before the gate of a cottage whose arch itecture and grounds were irreproachable in a Frenchman’s eyes—although I dare say they would have seemed to you too artifi cial and too elaborate, smacking too much of the stage painter, and too little of Nature. Frenchman think Nature dowdy until she has been arrayed in the furbelows, flounces, and with the rouge of art They were ushered into the house. In the Erst drawing room an ancient statue of the classical divinity, Flora, struck Mme Je S’s attention. She involuntarily start ed. “ What is the matter?” That statue recalls something to mind. My dearest hus band (now in Heaven) had one a good deal like that, which was sent him from Home, and which I admired very much. One day he sold it, he said it was not worth keeping being the work of some sculptor of the de cline of art, and would disgrace any house in which it was found. You know he was so bard to please, and of such an exquisite taste of art They went into the second drawing room, and it was scarcely entered, when Mme da 8 started a second time at the sight of the chimney piece. I admir ed the decoration of thatchimuey very much at the exhibition which preceded the sale of the Princess D., and I asked my husband to buy it for me. He went to the sale, and one of my friends who was there called on me before the sale was over to congratulate me on the purchase; but when my husband returned he told me (to my ir 3xpresaible dis appointment) that he had bid high for it, and continued to bid until the decorations reached some, I forget what, extravagant sum, (yeu know how exorbitant the prices obtained at auction these last few years have been?) when he was obliged to dis continue the mad contest. Before Mme de S had finished this explanation, they had entered the Ebrary and had taken op. as album which was lying on a centre*table. She screamed with astonishment. This al tun btlonge to my husband once : I know it perfectly well; see , here is his cypher on the back; it containns a great many charm ing drawings by Decamps, Caanlle, Roque plan, Meissonier, Diaz and others. “ My husband told me one day he had given it to one of his friends; how did it get here ? to whom does this house belong 7 The porter who acted as cicerone to do the the honors of the house, replied by saying that it belonged to a Monsieur ,an old shop keeper who had grown rioh by selling cotton night caps and frocks, and bad retir ed from business. Bnt does the proprietor live here? Is this his furniture? asked Oc tave in a negligent way.” v Oh ? Lor INo Sir I He leased the bouse for five years to Mademoiselle-r—and the lease expires in a fortnight. Everything you see here belongs to her. - ’ Ah? said Mme de g ■ , who is that Mademoiselle—is she not an actress ? u Yes ma’am.” They entered the bed cham ber. Mme ds did not say a word, — She stood like a statue and pointed to a por trait placed before the bed. Well might she be amazed beyond power of speech! The portrait in the bed chamber of the pretty ac tress was—there was no possibiEty of doubt —the likeness was striking—her husband's That face smiling, bland, ingenious affection! ate— there was the visage of the sainted tbe wept, the faithful, the virtuous husband! “Handkerchief! 0, devil!” “Why—who—can that be ? It is—it ce-tainly is—no—it can’t be —he,” said Oc tave , in the most hypocritical, plaintive, as tonished tone. The porter seeing the visitors lost ia won der before the portrait, thought it his duty to hreak silence; he said: “It is Monsieur portrait” “Monsieur who?” enquired the heartless Octave. The gentleman who rented the house to Mademoiselle. 0 lor ! the landlord wouldn’t have let his house to an actress unless she bad a backer. They ain’t the best of pay these actresses—he! be! he! But that gen tleman yonder was a gentleman. And didn’t he love the actress two doTes couldn’t had been more affectionate. Poor man, he died going on three years ago, and just be fore he died, sot two months before, he gave that picture to the actress. She set a great store by it for she couldn't go to * him when he was dying, nor after he was dead, cause had a vinegar sort of a wife, a perfect little vixen, they always bad hard work to fool, Mademoiselle cried a long spell bat she hat got over it long ago. Say she, there as good a fish in the sea as ever came out of it, and she has caught more than one since then. It has been going on three years ago. Lor 1 what is the matter with Madame? Mme de S had fallen senseless into a chair, one of the chairs selected and paid for by her husband. Octave put ber into the carriage, and said : You see I was right, Some presentiment warned me that you should not go to that house. The rascal as if it had not been he who had advised the notary to send Mm me de S- ——to this very house I Mme de S— said not a word ; she thought iu silence—she chewed the eud of bitter memory, recalling how of ten business had engrossed his time during Winter, and how every Summer he made the family physician order her to the sea shore—that he— O, perifiJy! O, treachery! Octave allowed her to have her way for sometime; he continued to humor her, un til she began to get tired of crying for vexa tion. He watched the pliant hour’s arrival and when it came be talked soft nonsense. She said yes, and their bands arc now up in the MetrU. But before they were finally engaged, she made him promise that he would have no business away from home, and that they would go to the seashore to gether. ■■ . A Last Admonition.— A late rever end clergyman, who was as well knr WJ| for his eccentricities as his talent*- one day sent his son, a la/y lad, ab-* Jt twelve years sf age, to catch his * aorse jb* boy was sauntering alor- with an e. r o( corn in one hand, an’ lh ° bridle n th , ot er, dragging re j ne > j Oo g on t be ground. ® ~ r 1 ® u a solemn tone of voice, u come Oliver, 1 wart) to say a word to you before you go.” The lad returned, and the parson pro ceeded- ‘You know, I have given you a great deal of good counsel. You know i’v taught you, before closing your eyes, to say, ‘Now I lay me down to sleep.'**, besides a good many other things in lh< way of exhortation and advice. Bui this is the last opportunity I may ever have of speaking to you. 1 oouldn’t lei it pass without giving you my parting advice. Bea good boy, Oliver, awl always say that pretty prayer before going to sleep. I fear I shall never set you again.” As he said this in a very sad and to’ •mn manner, the poor boy began to be frightened, and burst iuto tears with this exclamation. “You’ll never see me again, pa ?” “No —for I shall probably die before you get back with the horse !'* Noh-Intxrcocrsc. —We notice in our Texas exchanges that the merchants of Austin have agreed to refuse to trad< with northern merchants who have takei a public position in favor of Black Re publicanism.

Editors Southern Cultivator: Much has been said, written and accomplished in Germany- and Franee on the subject of Artificial Fish Cul ture ; and I am happy to say-, that this truly- interesting matter is be ginning to receive in this country, that attention which its importance so justly merits. My pleasures of hope have been fullv realized in this department of the economy of Plantation Life ; and 1 eanuot imagine anything connect ed with my rural home that has con tributed more to my* happiness than my “Yellow Lake,” Lake Como” and “Loch Lomond.” The last named pond contains fif teen splendid Trout, weighing each from one to four pounds, which were captured by the aid of a seine. These Trout are beautifully striped, and present a handsome appearance, and altogether different from brook trout so beautifully* spoken of by Dr. Gar lic, in his work, on Fish Culture. — The doctor is wild with delight when speaking of his “Naiad Queen,” the nautical name given to a splendid specimen of the Brook Trout. Now I have no objection to his praises, but on the contrary*, admire him for his romance; but, at the same time, I must be allowed to feel that, though he ha* made his Queen so gentle as to be able to handle her at pleasure and carry her from place to place, I can (although it lias been but three weeks since I obtained my* pets) call them up within three feet of me, and they* will follow me around the pond. A toad, lizzard, large tad> pole or small fish will be instantly seized and swallowed. A Trout at two years old will pro | duee 600 eggs, and at the age of three- years old 800 eggs. My “Loch Lomond” ccn’ains Bream, White Perch, Red Horse, Mullet and Suck ers, none of which were put into that Loch more than 6 weeks ago; yet I can now show at least 10,000 small fish, many of which are supposed to be young Shad from the eggs of shad taken in the Oconee river. Gehin and Rcmy, two poor and il literate fishermen of France, claim the origin of artificially* producing sash, and their success induced the government of France to pay them 86000 per annum. The Legislature of the State of New York has pass ed a law compelling each fisherman in that State to deposit the spawn of six fish in the streams in which they* are accustomed to catch fish in tho presence of a Magistrate. Gehin and Remy obtained the spawn of the female fish by pressure on the belly*, and in the same way the milt or semen of the male, both of which were caught in vessels of clean water, and from 3,200,000 eggs of Trout they produced 1,682,000 living fish. They obtained from one of their poods for distribution in the rivers cd‘France, 1200 Trout in one yetfurofthe two year olds; and the same men placed in the Moretolle River 50,000 fish in one year. In my* opinion the trout is the most splendid fish that swims in our waters, and on account of the great esteem in which he is held by myself I shall devote more attention to its culture. They* are very* voracious. A trout of two years old has beeu known to swallow one of one year old. I remember to have seen many years ago, a splendid specimen of the Trout OAU<>ht in u eoino, Kolow All gusta, which had swallowed a shad and tho tail of the latter was extend- 1 ing out of the mouth of the former, j Yesterday* while standing on the 1 banks of .Loch Lomond feeding my* trout, I saw one of ten inches in length or one year old, swallow a stoan-toater or hornyhead of four inches in length, whose tail extend ed from the mouth of the trout. My Lake and Lochs are supplied by springs of pure ard limpid water, within their banks, and the stream from one of them supplies the stock in the horse lot with clean running water. Fish work very* hard to oh* tain gravel for their beds, and will convey them some distance and place them with care in the bottom of them. When on their beds fish are quite gentle and will allow persons to ap proach to within a foot of them. In fact I have heard, from good author ity, of a large Perch that wIM jump out of the pond at anv one who might venture to approach too near its domicil; and I have found some where in the sea ofroy reading, this singular incident: “A gentleman in one of the German States who pos sessed a fish pond, observed in one of his rambles around his pond, a large Perch cutting up a great many antics while run;-,ing before him, and final ly spring out on the bank. This in duced the gentleman to take up the fi ß ' J ,on doing which, he found that 9 splinter of wood had entered the eye of the fish. On withdrawing | the piece of wood he placed the perch in the water, and it “walked the wa ter like a thing of life.” It has now been about 14 months since I built my first pond, and now I have three, with a fourth nearly completed. I estimate my fish by the million, many of which are of course very small yet. I expect to raise to the length oftCM inches, this year, ten thousand Tr >ut. John Cabmichakl. A Clerical Abecdot*.—The Rev. Dr. P , of Brookline, belonged to the old school divines, and while attend ing to his usual Sabbath ministrations, managed to discover who of his congre gation were absent, his first duty on Mon •lay morning being to call on the absent ees, and to find out why they were r.ot at church. Among those whose places were often vacant, wa s one man who cared bui little f.r the sanctity of the holy day, or the repro<*f of the minister. On taking his usual Monday morning rounds. Dr. P , was sure to visit Mr. C., as we will call him. Said the good man : “Why were you not at church yester day r ‘ Had other business to attend to, * was the blunt reply. ‘ Mr. CV’ said the clergyman solemnly, •there will be no preaching in hell.” ell, it won't be for the want of ministers,” was the quick rejoinder.” This was a hard cut, and the good old loctor shook his head, and went on his *ay, ruminating, doubtless, upon the loctrine of total depravity. It is often better to have a great deal of harm happen to one; a great deal may arouse yon to remove what little will only accustom you to en dure. The Yankees are talking bravely of substituting flax for cotton. The heads •f the men may desire I lie hange, but the bosoms of the women will revolt at it. The Power of the Mouth. We comend to tbe careful perusal of our readers the following passages, which we 6ud in the eminently able speech delivered a few days ago in Congress by Mr. Keitt, of South Carolina: What, a spectacle does the South now pre sent to the world! The South, with her match'ess resources, her splendid domain, and with millions ou millions of gallant peo ple, still clinging to this Union, though she knows it ia only by its oppressions. What has she given to it in the past? She ha? given blood and treasure, genius and statesman ship, courage and arms. An illustrious Southerner roused the colonies to resistance ; au illustrious Southerner led the armies ot the Revolution to victory; and illustrious Southerners built up this Government from foundation stone to battlement and parapet. Nor have her contributions in modern times been stinted. She gave the men who led the republic safely through the second war of independence. She gave the men, too, who, in the late war with Mexico, carried your arms to the famed capital of the enemy, and illustrated them by a series of victories unmatched even by those of Cortez. Splen did, also, as have been her contributions to arms and statesmanship, she has added no scanty treasures to American literature. In every field of letters she has left her footprints and when the names of all other American authors are forgotten save that of FVniraore Cooper, the admiration of posterity will con tinue to brighten round the memory of one sl.e lias given to the world as the ‘‘great wiz ard of American romance,” (Simms.) Yes, the South has made a history, an empire, and a civilization, and she can defend them ail Why, then, does the South pause in the establishment of an independent government? Simply because she is under the spell of the past, its traditions and its memories, and because she hopes for a “ returning sense of justice” at the North, which may secure htr safety in the Un : oa. Day by day the spell is dissolving, and when she despairs of this “returning sense of justice ’ —and many of her truest sons have already despaired of it I —she will shatter the bonds of the Union, and vindicate her independence. Should the Republican party succeed in the npxt Pre-idential election, my advice to the South is, to snap tbe cords of the Union at once and forever. I appreciate the superior en tanglements and difficulties of the border States, and will look at first only to the States further South. They must withdraw from the Union, and establish a confederacy for themselves. This they can do without disturbing their social system in the least* degree. Their State governments are sufficient for all domestic purposes, and a federal one can be organized among themselves in time to meet all for eign aims or complications. What would such a confederacy have to fear? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Foreign Powers would court her alliance, and no government on this continent would dare to invade her. This Union, great and powerful as it is, can be tumbled down by the act of any one 1 Southern State. If Florida withdraw, the Federal Government would not dare to at tack her. If it did, its bands would dissolve as if melted by lightning. Let a Southern State withdraw, and wherever her flag floats it will be respected, for it will be the armed hand, and the whole South will rush to its defence, and would emerge from the strug gle with an organized slaveholding confed eracy. And bow vast would be the power of the South! She is now more imperial than Rome ever was. If, by some cataclysm of nature, the great West, with its fertile fields and rich harvests, were lost to earth, mankind would only pause for a moment in contemplating the ruin, as some fearful catas trophe of nature. If the North, with its crowded marts a-.d vast factories, were at a single stroke swallowed up in an abyss, com merce would 6till move on, and the foot steps of power halt only for a moment. But if the South could, in the twinkling of an eve, be struck into primeval chaos, how would it be? Tbe civil zed world would avert her face, the advance of nations would be arrested, and every throne in Europe would be reduced to dust and ashes. Ye?, the South has the monopoly of tropical pro duction?, and upon them hang the destinies •vs pfjace, C f vlffZMUou and Ciiipitto. And t!il* South, with all these elements of power and invincibility, is told ‘hat she is to be bound to this Union through all the mutations of time. Mszeppa is to be tied to the black horse, and, with hungry wolves pursuing, to plunge madly on through field and forest, am*? p’ain and river, or, anil on, and on, till both dying man and dying beast fal‘ shattered together. And if she resists, what ? What achieve ments of arms have illustrated their escuteb eoos ? Sir, if a northern army should come down to subjugate the South, it will be the fiist one in our history that has encamped on our Southern soil. Will it come now, when it did not come in the trials of the Rev olution? In 1781, when all the forces ts ♦he British were gathered upon the soil of Virginia, what help had she from the North ?

Increased Value of Slave Property.— A phenomenon well calculated to confound the Abolitionist?, is now presented through out the slaveholding States. Just at that period when anti slavery doctrine seemed to have reached their most complete develop ment, so that one more advance step iAjst prove decisive in its consequences, and when, if ever, we might reasonably expect to dis cover some promise of realizing the fruits so long promised by agitators—what is the ac tual state of things ?

The people of Macon and Augusta, have in contemplation the construction of a Rail road to coanect those two fl ourishing cities. The enterprise meets with serious opposition from the Central Railroad, and Mr. CuyliT, the President of that Road, in a letter be fore us, endeavors to dissuade the people of Macon against giving it their counte nance or support in any way*. He believes it would injure Macon to the benefit of Au gusta. But our opinion is thnt Mr. Cuyler is wrong, and that his anxiety and argu ments on die subject, are evidences in fa vor 4 Jenterprize. Augusta of course expects to realize advantages from the work, or it would N* folly for her to iend her aid to it—and Macon is struggling to liberate herself from the toils of the Central Railroad Company—a giant monoply—who are now realizing over 25 per cent, annually from the capital invested iu that Road. The com pletion of the Roud from Griffin by this place into North Alabama, will make the contemplated Road from Macon to Augus ta, an absolute necessity. The Central Road will be incapable of doingthe business which will accumulate at Macon—choice of mark ets will be afforded to dealers in cotton and other produce, at that point as well as other points from the commencement to the term inus of our great line of Road—and then there will be enough for and freight plenty for both the Central and Augusta Roads, at remunerating prices, with the continued prospect of sufficiently fat dividends to stock holders.

Truly, may we be proud of our Citizen Soldiery, for they arc worthy of all admiration. Mr. Howard’s Lecture. Rev. C. W. Howard’s Lecture before the Young Men’s Christian Association, on Monday evening last, at Concert Hall, was worthy of the high reputation enjoyed by the speaker, as one of the most accomplished literary gentlemen of the State. His subject was “ Christian Benevolence as illustrated in the early History of Georgia,” and it was handled in a manner at once interesting and masterly. He traced the origin of the colon ization of Georgia, drew a parallel between the motives that impelled the founders v { said colony with those that brought the New England For fathers to Plymouth Rock paid a fitting and glowing tribute to the char acter of Oglethorpe, that great and good man, whose disinterested and Christian be nevolence prompted him to establish a home in this Western World, for the down-trodden and oppressed for conscenee’ sake of the old. The speaker, also, gave his audience some valuable and appropriate historical recollec tions of the early pioneers that settled the State—spoke of the labors of Wesley and Whitfield, and of other good men who aid ed in the work of civilizing and christianiz ing tbe aboriginal inhabitants—and then traced the progress of the colony, to its pres ent prosperous condition as the “ Empire State of the South,” and the mother of the two powerful States of Alabama and Missis sippi, on the West, carved out of her original territorial limits. Th c future of Georgia was also sketched with a prophetic tongue, showing the capac ity of Georgia for supporting a population equal to that of all New England, and bless ed with such Agricultural aud Mineral resources, and situated so favorably in commercial point of view, as to enable her to become, in reality, an independent empire equal to any known in history, of the same area. One or two of Mr. Howard’s suggestions deserve a special notice. That of commem erating the Aniversary Day of Oglethorpe’s landing at Savannah, and that of erecting a monument in memory of the man, to whom Georgians owe so much. The first sugges tion was made to th cpeople of the State, and ike proond 4a tIA rliftrgt* Af the Ladies of Georgia, who had before them a successful example of what women can dm in the rescue of Mt. Vernon from individual proprietorship, and giving it into the custo dy of the Nation. The conclusion of Mr. Howard's address, especially directed to the young gentlemen of the Christian Association, was peculiarly pertinent, eloquent and graphic. His de scription of the allurements of vice—the temptations oft!*.e dice-box—of the intoxica ting bowl, and of the ajrrota song of the •* strange woman,” compared to the fascin ation of the bird by the deadly rattle snake, was thrillingly effective and as true as power tml. But we hnvo not space to say more or do justice to the Lecture, by this hasty sketch of its leading feutures. It must, have been heard to be fully appreciated. One word now, to the Directory of the Y. M. Christian Association. Do not put such a tariff of charge on theso Lectures, a 8 will amount to a prohibition of a single indi vidual. Fifty cents admission is too much, by one liait. Better ruise money by outside subscription than exclude any one who does not feel able to pay a fee of admission. Open your Ilall doors to all the schools of the place, free of any charge—and you will not tail to do the most good, at the least cost. Another suggestion. Have a better read ing desk for your Lecturers. For a lectur er to stoop constantly to a low table to see his notes, detrncts much from his effort and the pleasure of the audience. As wc charge nothing for this advice, we hope no offence will be taken at our free will offering. Wliaf Macon Wants. The central position of Macon makes it the proper pluce for the establishment of a State Arsenal and Foundry, for the manu facture of cannon and all other munitions of war. Aud we have now, here, tho em bryo basis for such an establishment. Wc have three Iron Foundries and Macbinn shops and one or two master workmen in the manufacture of small arms. Messrs. Hodgkins & Son are the men to superin tend a State Armory, and Messrs. Scofield, the Find lays, and Nisbet, with a little “State Aid” could turn out the Artillery ! “In peace, prepare for war,” is a maxim which every Southern Slate Government should practise, especially in times like these. In addition, to such establishments, Macon should have an extensive Bolling Mill and Locomotive Manufactory. Why, not, as well as other places, less favorably situated ? Macon, also needs a large Female Institu - tion or free Academy lor girl*. Our fro* Male Academy is working well, under th superintendence of u very competent In structor, Mr. Singleton, but as there arw many parents blessed with daughters but wt sons, and as they are taxed to support t!*o male school, we sec no justice in denying to them the privileges now extended to other classes. Let us hen have a Free High School for girls aud our educatienal facul ties will be equalized to the benefit of all. Macon is also the place for the establish ment of a Southern Printing and Publish ing House, —an institution more needed, perhaps, than any other. We do not mean a sectarian concern, but a truly Southern House, on an extensive scale, for the printing of Southern School Books and every thing else in the Bool: way, for the use of Geor gians and Southern people. And if a good Type Foundry could be established in con nection therewith, it would be better still.— This effected, the next or simultaneous move- s rnent would be an extensive Paper Mill, to j supply the wants of the Printing House as j well as the region round fiboqt, with ill ki4* ‘ of paper for writing, wrapping and printing purposes. There are other thiogs needed, but we have-not space, tc-day, to say more. Nor is it necessary to hasten things too much, but to get ready to take events bv the forelock. And we are gratified to know, that already, and since our previous articles on “ the wants of Macon” have been written, one of these wants is about to be supplied. Mr. T. C. Nisbet, we learn, contemplates tbe erection of a Flouring Mill, on Knight’s old site, and Mr. Henry Boifeuilett and Thos. B. Elfc, Esq., have commenced preparations for the building of a Corn Mill in the city. This is one step in the right direction, aud w’e wish h e enterprize every success. A New Book.— “Twenty Years Ago & Now,” is the title of anew Book, by T. S. Arthur, of Philadelphia, a copy of which lias just been received at this office, from the prolific Press of G. G.

As these young gentlemen are treading closely in the footsteps of their illustrious predecessors, in all matters of taste and fashion, the Ladies will, of course, flock to their house, *• as the doves to their windows.” Messrs. Wood, Brother & Cos., offer a large assortment of elegant Household Furniture and Cabiuet Ware of every de scription. This is an old and reliable House, with a slight sprinkling of “ Young Amer ica” to keep it from running into “ Old Fog yism.” The Junior of the concern, it is re ported, will soon need some of his own Fur niture, which will furnish a sample of his taste in the Furnishing line. fifcjyJohn F.

The Georgia Mirror. —The Ed itor of this paper is down upon the Ager.t Ilong Chong, for selling Japanese and Chinese goods at auction, in this city, and taking off proceeds. What difference, Bro. M'Evoy, in principle, from this, is it fora China and Crockery Dealer, who has got rich in his line <f business, to commence th a printing business, to break down, as far as he may, the regular es tablishments of the city in that line, whose proprietors have invested their all here in Macon, and the support of whose families depends upon their success in business! For our part, we wish that Edwards, the great Book man, and some China Dealer would set up each an auction here, and let people have Books and Crockery ac a reasonable rates, all the time. Some such competition is needed whereas there is none required in the printing line Be Cautious How you give Certifi cates. —The Athens Banner calls to mind the certificate ot Hon. Thos. Hardeman, about Briggs of New York being “trve as s feel,” and tho next thing we hear of Briggs he votes for Pennington? This shows the necessity of caution in underwriting politi cians. “White man mighty onsurtin.—Ma con Telegraph. The abovecontains a fling against our gal lant Representative, “Hon. Thomas Harde man Jr., that is a trifle too malignant for extended notice. A sufficient reply is found in the fact that the Hon. Mr. Underwood, Democrat, of the sth District, also endorsed Mr. Briggs, for his Southern votes, and that the Hon. Mr. Keitt, Democrat, of South Carolina, endorsed Mr. Pennington, for whom Briggs voted for Speaker ? We are not the apologist for either Briggs or Pennington, but we do not see why Har deman is to blame for his remark concerning Briggs, which was justified by tho vote of the latter up to the hour the compliment was paid him by our Representative. Death of Judge keunu.—Hon- Owen 11. Kenan, died at his residence in Whitfield county, Ga., on the 27th ult., in the 75th venr of his age. He fi lied the office of Judge, years ago, first in the Ocmulgee and afterwards in the Cherokee Circuit. He was a high-toned gentleman, of great decis ion of character, and strong impulses—with sterling integrity of purpose, and much be nevolence of nature. “ Peace to his ashes.” Southern Defence.— At a late meeting of the Executive committee of the Georgia State Agricultural Society, anew class of articles have been inserted in the premium list, viz ; for the best Brass cannon, silver pitcher $25 Best iron cannon, silver pitcher 26 Best musket, silver cup 10 Best rifle, silver cup 10 Best shotgun 10 Best keg rifle, cannon and blasting pow der, cash 5 Correction.

La Ray Sunderland. Gen. Jackson. —The Senate, yester day,say a the Nashville News of Tues day, by a unanimous vote, passed a bill to remove the remains of Gen.

This is as it should be. We hope to live to see the day when others of our citizens whose names and memories are enshrined in the hearts of the people, shall find aep pltuie in ths same beautiful grounds. Market.

Crime in New York.—The New Yoik Daily News, commenting on the recent cases of seduction which have come to light in that city, says : We knew that New York is a great commercial and flourishing city—that it contains many happy homes an 1 many high minded noble-hearted men and love ly and virtuous women; but we al><- know that in it are perpetrat'd many dark and damning crimes which would make the devils themselves blush ar.d turn pale. And we also know that the blackest, the cruelest and the most dam ning of these is seduction, which we hove reason to believe is fearfully on the in crease in our city. Another exchange informs us tha’ twelve murders and manslaughter trial*- and assault with intent to kill, have f. ! - ready been disposed of, with only one acquittal, in the present term of the court of Oyer and Terminer, in New York, and twenty more remained to be tried. Unconstitutional Convention.— The Philadelphia Public Ledger rails atten tion to a fact which at this juncture di> setvss to be better known, which, is. that the Constitution of the United S’a’e t expressly provides, “ that no State shall enter into any alliance, treaty oreonfed eratior,” and adds subsequently, in order to prevent all misunderstanding about ihe matter, that “ no State shall, without the consent of Congress, keep troops or ships of war in time of peace, or enter in to any agreement or compact with anoth er State, or with a foreign power.” Com mencing on this, Judge Story gives as a reason of the prohibition, “ that it might lead to mischievous combinations, inju rious to the general interests, and le to them, the States, to agreeing into con federacies of a geographical or sectional character. No Conntenanre to Traitors. H. Winter Davis, of Maryland, voted for Sherman and Pennington. He is classed as a South American, but has proved recreant to his sec tion, and gone over to the Black Re publicans. Briggs of New York, vot ed, also, for Pennington, and his vote decided the question of the Speaker ship. He, too, is an American, but voted, at last, with the Republicans. On the other hand, the following is the Black List of Anti-Lecompton, Douglass Democrats, who voted against the South all the time : Garrett B. Adrain, John B. Has kins, John H. Reynolds, John Hick man. John Schwartz. Let them all be Anathema Mar anatha ! We have not a word of excuse or palliation for the Ameri cans, and less for the Democratic Traitors!

W 1 It is a common observation that there are more snf ferera from debility, among Americana, than can be obvious. We take too little exercise, and forgot tlte want* of the body in the absorbing pursuits of busi ness. In all such eases, ordinary medicines can do little good. What is required is just such a tonic and invigorator as Dr. J. Hostetter has given to the world, in his CELEBRATED “BITTES.” The weak and nervous denizen of the counting-house, the exhausted toiler upon the shop-board, and the prostrated student of the midnight lamp, have found a wonderful regenerator in the ‘-HiTTias,” and pre fer it to more pretentious, but less efficacious modi cines. But it should not lie forgotten that the agent which is so magical in its influence upon a frame which is merely debilitated, is equally powerful in assisting nature ‘to expel the most terrible forms of disease. Who will not give it a trial 1 * Sold by druggists and dealers ovryewhere.lm SOMETIME in the fore part of last year a man by the numo of John Me Michael wa* married it. Lee county, Ga., to a woman by the name of Elizabeth Etheridge. I call him a man because he is no part of a gen tleman, and the appellation given to her hr the same cause. The reason is, beer, u see he married that man fully conscious that he was a married man, for she stated at the time of marriage, that she would have had him if his former wife had been present. lie reported that his former wife was dead every where he coulJ, just before his marriage to thu wo man. Just before marrying this woman his health was in a nice condition, diseased as it was, for marrying; just suited however for such folks. If I had been diseased as he was, no doubt but what I would have been dead long before this hour which he has mauy times wished I was. There is one request I will make of him, that at his death he will give nie his wife for a wailing maid. One request more I will make ; if he has any illegitimate children by this woman, will he treat them as he has bis legitimate ones— turn a deaf ear to their cries for something to eat, or for clothes to cover them from he cold storms of winter. Oh shame, where lis thy sting ? and oh where does his parental affection flow to ? Now in the conclusion, I ask what should be done with such a man and woman guilty of such acts as these ? I leave public oiinion to answer. CATHERINE WcMICHAJSL •i -■ - ’ . - ’* ‘s ‘ ‘* COTTON PLANTERsT^ vention.
