I then thought, and, in fact, promised that 1 wonM <«>ml you some acoount of this picturesque region, its fertility, its mines end mineral waters, and report some of the opinions one hears advanced here upon topics which inter est men engaged in business, politics, etc. But the ladies say it shall not be done! They Bay that of nil the letters printed in the newspapers nine-tenths of them are devoted entirely to men and their business, and that a letter from a fashionable watering place in which politics and business, geology and agriculture, mines and ^Mineral waters, alone are discussed, would be stupid and as much out of place as would be a letter from Macon during the approaching State Pair, in which the ladies only were mentioned. In other words the sweet creatures contend that all communications from the Springs to the press shall be devoted entirely to their own dear selves ard their gallant beaux, and that if your corres pondent dares to depart from this rule, they will vote him a crusty old bachelor, and a hard- headed, impracticable old fogy! What, then, shall I do, Messrs. Editors ?— ShaU I imitate father Adam, and obey my bet ters? or shall I indite such a letter as will in terest Mr. Gradgrind, Mr. Hardlist and old 'Shont-per-’shent ? I have concluded to let our modern Eves have their will, as their first mother had her's; though I will write that letter, if it has to be done at night, or aftOT I leave the Springs. But after all, the ladies are not far wrong. Onr lot is a hard one at best, and we do not soften or im prove it by devoting all our working hours to facts and figures and the other stern realities of life. Somewhat of poetry and laughter nnd music, and a few more holidays nnd festival junketings, nnd a little less austerity and pnri- Unism nnd hypocrisy, would not cnrtail our ^Happiness here, or diminish our chances of finally reaching that bright land boyond the sun. Bound faces are quite ns harmless nnd hand some ns long ones, and it does no hurt to bnild an air-castle now and then, though wo never inlinbit it. King Solomon tolls us that * ‘a merry heart mnketh a cheerful countenance, bnt by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.” And he remarks, in anothor place, thnt “tbero is nothing better for a nvm than thnt ho should eat nnd drink, and that ho should mako his soul enjoy good in his labor.” Ho informs us, also, that tlf%o is a time for all things—“a time to weep, a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance." Why, thou, should not a comer in onr daily newspapers—those great educators of modem tiincs—be set apart to tho pastimes nnd pleas ures—and oven the follies, if you please—of the young and merry-hearted ? ' Industry and diligence and economy are 'oommendablo vir tues ; indeed, withont them there can be bnt little excellence in our lives—and yet “all work nnd no play makes Jack a dnll boy,” nnd Jean- « | in a dull girl. Parents make n sad mistako hen they require their sons and daughters to carry old heads on their young shoulders. Tho enjoyments of the young wore innocent nnd pleasant enough when they were young, bnt now that they havo grown old, they would for bid them to their children. If wisdom nnd sor row come only with age, then let the young re main young os long as possible. Bet not all onr songs be songs of sadness. If some will chant only tho Miter err, pray let tho rest of ns, if so inclined, sing the Jubilate os well. There have bean considerable nnd interesting additions made to our society hero since the date of my last communication, as yon will see by tho list of arrivals below. It is now vorygay and pleasant, thongh there is hero, ns at all onr Southern watering places, a lack of gentle men. In the good old ante-bellum times, before onr young men bad gone out to battle, and when we all had more means and leisure, it was quite different. Now onr young gentlemen find it nec essary td look more closely to their business; and when they do put their bands to tho plough, they cannot look back as in the olden time. But tho ladies think none tho less of them because they have to labor. On the .contrary, they respect jtoem oil tho more, sinco this necessity is' upon ^Kiem, that they meet it cheerfully and manfrlly.- | It will not be amiss, howoror, Messrs. Editors, for you to make a note of this scarcity of beaux and suggest to yonr young friends not to miss this opportunity. “Now’s tho day, and now’s the hour.” I had almost forgotten to state thnt the first ball of thj. season was given two nights ago. It was gotten up on short notice, but was none tho less enjoyable to thoso who dance, for that reason. A few of tho dancers appeared in fan cy dresses—among them, “tho littlo brown-eyed silver slippered widow from tho banks of tho Tombigbee,” who appeared as tho Queen of Night, andn black-eyed littlo beauty from Colum bus, who represented the Bose, and a handsome young gentleman from Macon, who appeared in the gnrb of a Troubadour. Several of the gen tlemen donned their “white kids,” nnd “swal low-tails.’” Tho ladies were dressed becoming- y, of course, but as I have aver been an igno- us in tho mysteries of female toilet, I dare net undertake to describo their costumes.— “Some wore silk, nnd some wore satin.” Some appeared in short dresses, nnd others had trails. And snch trails! They reminded one of Oliver Wendell Holmes’ account of tho comet: “Ten million miles of head— Ten thousand million miles of tad.” These trails nro stately and becoming, but quite inconvenient in a crowded ball room, nnd as difficult to manage as a long railway train on a road having short curves. The short dresses, one would suppose, were more comfortable to the wearer, as I am sure they are more popular with the spectator, since they allow tho latter to enjoy the graceful play of the feet Among the ladies not heretofore nllnded. to in this random correspondence, who attracted particular attention at tho'ball, was a young girl from Macon, and a very handsome lady who had just arrived from Columbus. The former is just verging into womanhood—a bru nette, with dark hair and eyes, who looks as if she were a naiad just escaped from the water and the willows. The latter is a blonde, with s profusion of massive auburn hair; somewhat jfipove medium height; iu form perfect; in car nage queenly, yet graceful and easy; in char acter gentle and modest, almost to shyness. It is difficult to conjecture which would admire her the most—tho poet, the painter or the I sculptor. And yet this fair, young woman, as every true woman should be, is accomplished in every domestio virtne. But there are other beautified nnd elegant men here, married and single—those who dance and those who do not. Montgomery has just made a liberal contribution to our society in this respeot^as have other parts of Alabama and Georgia. Indeed, if the names of all the ladies hew were put into a hat, a man in search of a wife, thoughjjliuclfolded, might put in his hand and be sure to draw a prize. There would be no blanks in the number. The weather has been quite warm the last few days, yet we require blankets at night, and are entirely free from dust and mosquitoes. fK. :ne of the young gentlemen have remained Up quite late at'night. looking, they say, for the comet! Some how, they never engage in these The Great Comet.

Tlio Southwestern Ritilrond—Sunday School Celeb rut Ions, etc. Geokoetowx, Ga., Angnst 20, I860. Editor* Telegraph: Modesty alono would compel one like tho writer, who boasts not of his ability as a journalist, to forbear appearing as a correspondent in the columns of n newspa per, but when justice almost demands that some ono should call tho attention of the public to tho libornlity of that much abused corporation, tho Southwestern Railroad, I reluctantly assume tho responsibility to do so. In days gono by wo were wont to hear much calumny and abuse heaped upon it on account of its high Tates of freight, unaccommodating spirit, otc., but most of it was due to preju dice and a want or desire to promote the inter est of other roads and corporations. Many and oft have been the limes that its gentlemanly Su perintendent, CoL Powers, has tendered his trains, withont money nnd without price, to the Sabbath school and church interests at large— thereby not only manifesting a spirit of liber ality and kindness, but a desiro to promote said interests. No longer than last week CoL Powers very kindly placed at the disposal of the entire Sab bath-school of Georgetown his trains to attend n festival at Cnthbert, to which tho school had beon solicited—and in this connection wo would take occasion to givo yon and your renders a synopsis of the doings on the day of tho fes tival. Tho Sabbath-school of Georgetown left this little village on Tuesday, tho 10th inst, hnving accepted an invitation from tho Cnthbert Sab bath-school to join them in this festival at tho Andrew Female Collogo in thatcity^ Tho school consisted of the old and tho yonng, from tho gray haired teacher to tho toddling four year old—all in their holiday attire, with their nu- merons baskets of provisions for the getting up of which on short notice tho Georgetown ladies have long been proverbial, nnder the charge nnd care of that polite and model conductor, Capt. GeoTge Cherry, and on arriving at Cuth- bert were met by tho delegates of that school and escorted to the College chapel, where they were welcomed by Dr. Hamilton in a short and beantifnl speech, tendering the hospitalities and freedom of tho city; to whom Dnpont Guerry, Esq., of Georgetown, replied in behalf of the Georgetown school, in a very appropriate speech of a few minutes. After the salutations, greeting, speeches, etc., the schools joined in singing some choice selec tions of songs. After the singing was con cluded, all mixed and mingled freely, talking of love and things lovely, and to “lovely things,” alias the “vanity fair,” until the bel. announced that the hour had arrived for tho baskets to disgorge their contents, which an nouncement ail responded to with a hearty good appetite. After dinner, alt once more repaired to the Chapel, where we were ngain pleasantly nnd profitably entertained by Colonel Jones, of tho Cnthbert Appeal, in n short bnt appropriate ad dress. The evening having passed off so plea santly and rapidlv. before wo were conscious of it, the hour for departure was signalled, so we took np onr line of inarch for the railroad, and under another of the road’s model conductors. Geo, Dasher, (as it is famous for its polite and attentive ones,) we sped rapidly back to our destination, leaving relnctantly the good people of Cnthbert, who insisted that we renew our visits and baskets at no distant day. So, Messrs. Editors, we spent a most pleasant day at the expense of the Southwestern Rail road, which is only one of the many acts of kindness and liberality extended to the people by the much abused Cokpoeatiox. Os a recent trip of one of the Illinois river packets, a light draft one, as there was only two feet of water in the channel,the passengers were startled by the cry of “man overboard!” The steamer was stopped and preparations made to save him. when ha. was heard to exclaim, ** Go abend with yonr darned old steamboat! I’ll walk behind you!” There is said to bo a new ease of coldness be tween Bn tier and Grant Bntler, in that spirit of Christian forbearance so characteristic of him says that Grant is “a d— d fooL ” superstitions awe to employ means to appease the wrath and conciliate the favor of their aveng ing deities. Wo are told that the assassination of Julius Csesar, in the forty-fourth year before Christ, was foretold by one of these celestial visitors. Aristotle, tho greatest intellect of an tiquity, credited these ernde superstitions, and tho transcendant power of his thoughts moulded some of tho master spirits of the middle ages. In the course of time, however, Tycho Brahe, Kepler and Newton were raised np to dissipate the delusions of astrology and to develope to the world the true theory of the planetary bodies. These eminent scientists, after a series of brillant investigations, arrived at the well established conclusions that the comets are con stituent parts of thCLSolar system, governed by fixed and immutable laws, and moving in elongated clipses, of which the sun forms one of the foci These sublime discoveries inau gurated not only a new era in tho history of astronomical science, but especially in the cometary department of it From this timo the fears of men ceased concerning the fatal con sequences from this class of celestial prodigies, and they began the study of tho character of their substance, the magnitude of their propor tions, the measure of their distances, the rapid ity of their motions, their influence on this terrestrial habitation, nnd the probable periods of their appearances. Hundreds of comets have been visible to the naked eye in the past ages of the world, and many more have been brought within the range of telescopic vision. A few of these have been of prodigious size and splendor and occasioned considerable consternation among the inhabit ants of the earth. One of the largest comets of modem times'appeared in the year 1C80 and excited intense interest among the leading as tronomers of Europe. Sir Isaao Newton sub jected it to a close examination, and advanced the opinion that its velocity was ten hundred thousand miles an hoar; that its luminous train was a hundred million miles in length; and that in Us nearest approaches to the sun it seemed to span almost the entire firmament. The next great comet appeared in 1811, was visible to the naked eye for the space of three months, and created a sensation wide os the world. This il lustrious stranger was witnessed for a whole winter by tho splendid eye of HerscheL from whose careful observations we learn that its length was greater than the distance between the earth and the sun and its breadth nearly fif teen millions of miles. This celebrated astron omer concluded that the “solidmatter of this comet was spherical; that it shone partly by its own native light; and that it probably had a ro tation round its axis.” Tho comet of 1843 shone with such surpassing splendor that it was dis tinctly observable in the day time. And in 1881 a sweeping comet came so near the earth that it is believed part of its blazing tail brushed it; bnt as yet no serious conseqnenoes to this planet havo been discovered. ^ Little is yet known in regard to tho material substance of the comets. Some have held that the raattor of them is so exceedingly attenuated that stars of tho lGth magnitude, are visible through these bodies, whilst other astronomical writers have attributed to them greater density, especially to tbelr nuclei. Prof. Olmstead’s views are condensed in the following paragraph. “Thongh some of the largest comets surpass all other bodies in tho solar system in magnitude, yet in respect to their mass they are too small to have produced as yet the slightest perceptible effect. They sometimes coma very near plan ets and their satellites, bnt are never known to exert the least inflnenco on them.” Is it not plain from tho Professor’s statement, that if a collision shonld take plaee between a comet and our globe, that no disastrous effects would follow. Wo are not authorized to make the positive as sertion that such an ovent will never occor, bnt if it shonld occur we apprehend a boy of five summers wonld be sufficient to gather up the fragments. Bnt is not the probability very re mote that any such an assanlt will over bo made by the law-abiding citizens of the solar system ? ‘‘Let ns suppose,” says Arago, “a oomet of which we only know that at its perehelion it is nearer tho sun than we are, and that its diameter is one- fourth of that of the earth, the calculation of probabilities’ shows that of 281,000,000 of chances, there is only one unfavorable,—there exists but one which can produce a collision between the tiro bodies. As for tho nebu losity, in its most general dimensions, the un favorable chances will bo from ten to twenty in the same number of two hundred and eighty-one millions. Admitting then for a mo ment, that the comets winch may strike the earth with their nuclei would annihilate the whole human race, then the danger of death to each individual, resulting from toe appearance of an unknown comet, wonld be exactly equal to too risk he would rnn if in an um there was only one single ball of a total number of 281,- 000,000 balls, and that his condemnation to death wonld be tho inevitable consequence of tho white ball being produced at the first draw ing.” According to too aboTe calculation would not any insurance company in toe United States be pretty safe in providing a policy for a thousand years on the earth for a smaller sum. than it takes to insure the life of one of its most healthy inhabitants. Have not those who are agitated by the near approach of toe great comet, abundant reason to console themselves with toe assurance that end is not yet. The gospel is to be preached as a testimony to all nations, wars are to cease to toe ends of tho earth, the Jews are to he gathered in with toe fulness of tho Gentiles, and tho glory of the Lord is to fill the world as toe waters cover the sea—all these things are to precede toe final restitution of all things. It is obviously our duty then to em ploy all our energies and means to hasten on this bright day of universal righteousness and peace; instoad of indulging in gloomy apprehen sions in regard to the well established laws and operations of nature and providence; so that instead of being filled with alarm at the sign, in the sun and moon and stars, we may be always ready for toe great changes which are to occur in our individual history, and for the greater events which are ono day to thunder through the universe. On the principle of analogy, it is alleged that toe comets are inhabited by a highly intellect ual older of beings, whose constitutions aie adapted to the refined and subtle element in which they lie, and more. According to this hypothesis, when these blazing globes are ca reering through toe immensity of space, they are amply carrying a grand excursion party, composed of the elite of the universe, who are bonnd for some of toe distant districts of crea tion, for purposes of observation and pleasure. On this supposition, the magnificent fire train which is now reported to be rushing earthward, has on botrd an immense multitude^ of the teutons of science, and toe brilliant aristocrats of Cosmos, whose object it is to survey this ambitious little member, which, of late years, bas been cutting such a bold figure in the great family of worlds. Perhaps they may wish to study more thoroughly the following subjects: The magnificent territory of the western world: the historv of toe greatest republic of modem times- the mammoth enterprise of the Pacific Railroad: the astonishing triumph of science and art in the success of the sub-manne tele graph; the practical effects of the passage of Gladstone’s disendowment bill: and the prob able consequences of all the great revolutions now in progress in Church and State. shonld like to be present when these royal repre sentatives report the results of their mission, at some grand convention of their celestial sisters.
