Wm. II. Seward.
This distinguished higher-law Senator of
Kew York, was once a schoolmaster in Put
nam County, Georgia, lie was then quite
young, but exhibited much native genius.—
His stay in Georgia was short, and lie re
turned to New York, his own State, and lias
there arisen to be one of the great men of
the country—although the cause of his no
toriety is not at all commendable. It is
very remarkable that a shrewd man should
take up such false notions, unless it be at
tributable to his overweening anxiety to be
on the strong side.
Agricnltnra! Pic-nic.
In company with others of onr citizens,
we attended an Agricultural pic-nic at
Judge Eve’s, in Floyd Co., on Saturday last.
Notwithstanding
‘ ‘ The sky with clouds were over cast,
And rain began to fall,”
quite a number of gentleman and ladies were
present, and we had a very pleasant enter
tainment.
The fair grounds for the Etowah Agricul
tural and Mechanical Society, was perma
nently located at Judge Eve's ; and .the first
annual fair will be held on the first Wednes
day in October next. Wc hope to present
our readers at some future time with the en
tire proceedings, embracing committies, &c.,
ns the secretary was requested to furnish
them for that purpose.
After the regular business was over, the
crowd repaired to the table, where tho fair
ladies present, had prepared and brought in
baskets, everything that oould be called for
in the way of something to eat—the subston-
tials as well the delicacies were there in a-
bundancc—and wc may say that under all
the circumstances the <« good folks’’ did am
ple justice to tlic “ good things,” and appa
rent satisfaction was marked on every coun
tenance.
It was resolved that another pic-nic be
held at the same place, on the first Saturday
in July next, and wc advise every citizen of
Cass and Floyd as well as of the adjoining
counties to attend, not forgetting to take a-
long a basket—well filled,(of course. If this
is done, our word for it. we shall have a time
of it.
Wc hope the farmers generally will take
that pride in this Society that becomes the
true Agricultural interests of the country,
and let us have a good showing in October.

All orders for the. paper may be addressed
to the editor at Knoxville, Tenn.
The Southern Cultivator.
The June number of this invaluable work
is before us. We are at a loss, while we look .subsequent to the rumored leave-taking of
The Washington Union.
Wc were under the impression, on seeing
Maj. Donalson withdraw from the editorial
management of the Union, that the effect
would be to make that paper more demo
cratic. But the signs bespeak the very re
verse of this for iti future course. Mr.
Burke, it is said, is to be recalled again to
the editorial chair. It is in the remem-
biance of many, that he had to quit that
chair because of his feelings and prejudices field was arrested on Tuesday night last,

A man name George Washington Porter-
OHr Rfpresrntalive,
Madame Anne Royal, who edits a little
paper, the Huntress, in Washington City,
thus lays it on to Col. Chastain, of this dis
trict. She is evidently a woman of line taste
and discrimination, and will find many in
this country to agree with her as to the fine
appearance and merit of our friend. Here
it is:
«< Mr. C. is a new member of the Thirty-

man to be eligible to Congress. In the

little of six feet in height;—remarkably
stout, erect and graceful in form and car
riage, unsurpassed by Adonis himself, and
bespeaks uncommon physical powers. Add
to this his intelligent mien, commanding air
and dignified step, all gives him an excess
of human grandeur. His face is strictly
grecian, uncommonly fair, full and smooth,
with a rich carnation- bloom. His hair is
fair, luxuriant and silky, and shades a
most magnificent forehead, remarkably deep,
smooth, and intelligent, at cnee reveals a
clear head, a towering min#, with an un
flinching independence—it is thb command

composure hard to portray, nis counte-

•“Bid faith"--The Filiinore Movement.
The Chronicle & Sentinel, in referring to
the action of the Union Democrats in send
ing delegates to the Baltimore Democratic
Convention, pronounces it- an act of ..bad
faith.” The same Journal, while it declines
to participate in tho late movement of the
Union Whigs, to send Delegates to the Whig
National Convention, speaks of it as an act
«f « patriotism.” Sack barefaced inconsis
tency eaanot bo permitted to pass unrebnk-
ed. Where did our cotemporary learn his
code of morals, which would teach him that
what is patriotism in Whigs, is bad faith
in Democrats ? The simple fact that the
first precedent was set by the Democrats,
would perhaps justify, in the eye of those
who condemned the movement, stronger con
demnation of their conduct than of the con
duct of those who followed the precedent
thus set Bat how any right thinking man

at had faith, wo confess ourselves at a loss
to understand. Wo have seen with regret,
several instances of Into, in the Chronicle &
Sentinel, at ite-bigated prejudice against the
Democracy, but the one which we now notice
is so glaring an 1 palpable, that we should
North.—Georgia Jeffersonian, of 21th May.
Wc transfer the above precious morsel to
our columns from the Georgia Jeffersonian.
We give it as additional evidence of the in
tention of the Southern Rights press, to con
tinue its heretical warfare upon democratic
principles. Perhaps an apology is due to
our readers for referring so formally to the
columns of so obscure a paper as the Jeffer
sonian—and we should certainly attach no
importance to any thing that the editor
might say on any important question; only
as it confirmed convictions, founded upon o-
pinidns and arguments, advanced by more
prominent and responsible organs.
The above attack upon Maj. Donalson, is
in keeping with the malignant assaults,
which have been more freely than ever made
by the Southern Rights papers, since he
withdrew from the Union. It evidences their
manifest distaste for every thing thatis tru
ly democratic. Democracy with these .< lat
ter day saints” consists in-a repudiation of
the republican principles of Jackson and
Polk's administrations, preferring rather to
seek for political light and ’ truth, in' the
wild and visionary schemes of the Calhoun
and Rliett school, than in the plain and prac
tical teachings of« the hero of the hermi
tage.” With them, Jackson is regarded as
a federalist; and the doctrines of his proc
lamation and message, rejected from the or
thodox faith. It should then be no matter
of surprise to witness their constant tirades
of complaint and abuse against those, who,
like Maj. Donalson have stood firm and true
to the doctrines and- principles of Andrew
Jackson. Their instinctive aversion to the
true principles of democracy, will continue
to exhibit itself,-hi their occasional wander
ings, from the party, to which they' are al
lied, more from a desire to be with the ma
jority, than from any just appreciation of
the principles of that party. Democracy is
popular with the people; and when true and
steadfast to its principles, will always com
mand the support and confidence of a large
majority in this country. These men know
this fact, and hence you find them hanging
upon the outskirts of the party, always rea
dy to participate in the fruits of its triumphs,
and equally ready, when the opportunity
presents itself, to strike a secret blow at - its
most cherished principles. Such is the
character of the attacks now being made by
them upon Maj. Donalson, and all others
who hold the Union democratic doctrines,
taught by Jackson and Polk.
If Union men would consent to bow down
and worship at the altar of nullification and
secession; swear that Calhoun' was the
greatest statesman that,ever lived, and nev
er committed a blunder, or was guilty of an
inconsistency; and that Genl. Jackson was
a consolidationist, and Madison, a federalist.
If, we say, Union men would do these things,
ther.c would be no more trouble in the dem
ocratic ranks, always providing, that yon
would give these new lights all the offices of
profit and honor, and John Forsyth a part
of the public printing!- Bat we pat it to
our friends to say, whether they are prepar
ed to purchase peace and quiet in the demo
cratic ranks at such a price.
Not content with the ungenerous fling
made at Maj. Donalson, the Jeffersonian
in the above quotation goes on to make a
most gross and malignant charge, -against
Mr. Burke, the former editor of the Union.
Is not every honest man’s sens* of decen
cy and truth startled at the charge here
made, that Mr. Burke had to quit the edito
rial chair of the Union, .« because of lus-feel-
ings and prejudices in favor of the freesoil
and other isms of the Nqrthr” There is
no fact in connection -with the course ef pub
lic men on the slavery question better known
to the country, than that Mr. Burke has
been the constant uniform and unflinching
friend of the South, through all this bitter
slavery contest with, the North. /As a mem

Gleanings from onr Exchanges.
jZ-0- A Western Editor, in commenting
upon the statements that diseases may be
communicated by bank notes, remarks very
coolly that his subscribers need not neglect
to pay up on that account, as he is willing
to risk catching anything in that way.
On the other hand, he fears that if the bank
bills arc not forthcoming, the sheriff will
catch him.
Extraordinary Longevity and Fe
cundity.—A Canada paper records the
death of Mr. Charles Boucher, of Bcrthicr,
at the advanced age of 106. He was mar
ried to three wives, by whom he had 60 chil
dren ! He leaves to deplore his loss 43 chil
dren, 66 grand-children, 13 great grand
children, 28 nephews, 7 0 grand-nephews, and
18 great grand newhews.
A Covetous, but very vain nobleman, em
ployed an architect to erect for him a splen

said to the builder, <is there any thing want

The danger of abolishing the property
qualifications for members of Parliament,
Punch says is this—that if some of onr leg
islature were to be without their property
qualifications, they would have no other
qualifications whatever.
Mason and Dison’s Line.—Although
this phrase has been in popular political par
lance for many years, its derivation and sig
nification arc perhaps not generally under
stood. Mason and Dixon’s line is the bound
ary line between Maryland and Pennsylva
nia. Frequent disputes bad arisen between
Penn and Lord Baltimore in reference to the
limits of their respective provinces. Years
of litigation was the consequence. In 1760
both parties became tired of dispute, and an
agreement was made, in consequence of which
Jeremiah Dixon and Charles Mason were ap
pointed to run the line, in 1761, which has
since borne their names.
The publishers of New York appear to be
prosperous. The Harpers print a hundred
thousand monthly of their Magazine, inclu
ding the demand for back numbers. The
Appletons have moved into, a splendid free
stone store in Broadway, of which they occu

were offered,, it is said, $6,000 rent for them,
and could now get $7,000. Putnam has
moved to Park Place, and gives up his retail
business to attend exclusively to publishing:
Redfield has published some very choice
books of later which have sold well. Scrib
ner has also made a hit With many of his
publications.
Seduction and Death —At the recent
sitting of foe Schoharie (N. Y.) Circuit Court,
an action-was brought by Abel Stannard, to
recover damages of Henry Mattice for sedu
cing his daughter. She was about 30 years
of age, and died in childbed. The jury, af
ter being out a few minutes rendered a ver
dict of $2,000 damages.
SiuowSuggs.—The Talladega (Ala.) Re
porter says great excitement was caused in
that pleasant and usually quiet village a
short time since, by the appearance of a
strange looking object; but after a minute
examination of the prodigy, it was found to
be Jonce Hooped, the author of Simon Suggs,
editor of the Chambers Tribune, and Solici

An Ugly Oath.—In the eastern part of
Delaware county, in this State, there resides
i pian named B , now a justice of the
peace, and a very sensible man, but, by
common consent, the ugliest looking individ
ual in the whole county; being long, gaunt,
sallow, and awry, with a gait like a kanga
roo. One'day he was out hunting, and on
one of the m-wentain roads he met a man on
foot and alone Who was longer, gaunter, ug
lier by all odds, 'than himself. He could
give the «< squire ’ « fifty, and beat him.”—
Without saying a word, B raised his
gun and deliberately levelled it at the stran
ger. « For God's sake don't shoot!” shouted
the man, in great alarm. « Stranger,'
plied B , <i I swore ten years ago that
if I ever met a man uglier than I was, I'd
shoot him: and you are the furst one I’ve
seen. The stranger, after taking a careful

Highly Interesting Correspondence.
Declaration of the Democratic Candidates
for the Presidency for the Compromise.
The non. Robert G. Scott, of Richmond,
Va., the Democratic Elector for President in
that district, a few days ago, addressed.
letter to all the Democratic candidates spo
ken of for the Presidency, asking their opin
ion on the compromise measures, particular
ly the fugitive slave law. Several answers
have been returned, the substance of which
is thus furnished in the New York Herald
of yesterday:—
Gen. Houston replied, under date of the
2lst inst., that he voted for all the measures
embraced in the Compromise bill, severally,
and he has since seen no cause to change his
views. He declares that he would not hesi
tate to veto any bill impairing the law for
the protection of the constitutional rights
which guarantees to the people Of the South
the possession and enjoyment of their slave
property.
Gen. Cass writes, under the date of the
24th inst., declaring his acquiescence in all
the Compromise measures. He expresses the
opinion that it would be the duty of a Pres
ident to vqto any bill that weakened or im
paired the fulfilment of the constitutional
obb'gation to deliver up fugitive slaves, as
enforoed by the Fugitive Slave law. He de
clares the sacrifices of individual opinion, in
opposition to any of the Compromise meas
ures, to be a duty every good citizen owes
his country and the preservation of the Un
ion.
Judge Douglas also writes under the same
date. He advertrto his past public career,
as showing his opinions as to the compro
mise measures, and says his views have un
dergone no change. He does not hesitate
to state expressly, that ft is the duty of ev
ery true American to oppose the repeal or
modification of the fugitive slave law, that
would impair the fulfilment of the constitu
tional obligation on that subject. Tet he
would not yield tho patronage of the govern
ment to influence the Legislature on that or
any other subject.
Col. W. R. King, of Alabama, writes that
he acquiesces in the compromise. Ho re
gards the fugitive slave law, not in the light
of ordinary legislation, but that it is to ear-
ry out aeonstitutional guarantee, and the
President ought to negative any act the ef
fect of whieh would be to impair or weaken
its efficiency. -
Darnel 8. Dickinson, of New York, kas re
plied that he acquiesces in all the Coospro-
e measures; but that he is not a candi
date for the Presidency; having long since
expressed a preference for a distinguished
statesman, (Gen. Case.) He considers it the
duty of the President to veto any/''
which in any way would impair fob
cy of the fugitive slave law..
Gen. Rack has replied, by takingfoe
decided stand with the foregoing, bat dis
claims any aspirations for the frcwdtney.
He Ufows his preference for General Hous
ton over all others. *

i Start fen.
Two blacksmiths at a sooty cast,
As o'er life's thorny track they posh’d >
While chance did guide their roving feat,
They in this modern town did meet}
When each did to the et her pledge
They would in concert swing tht sledge s-
Reoolved some money could be made,
That each to each should lead his aid,
And mutual drive the blacksmith’s trade.
And soon the workshop's din was heard i
The anvil rang, the bellows roared
At early dawn, at eve's dim ray,
Nor scarcely ceased the Sabbath day.
Plows, hoes and axes, came to view;
And many a horse that, lack'd a shoe
All merry went, and praise they won
For jobs so well and faithful done.
But woman's arts, and woman's wiles,
And woman's blandishments and smiles:
The strongest firm at will can shake,
And friendship'8 strongest chain can break.
And now should I my thoughts declare,
I doubtless will offend the fair;
But though I lose some locks of hair,
And of abuse I get a share,
Truth is eternal, ’twill prevail
When stratagem and falsehood fail.
Had Adam when in Eden's bowers.
Alone enjoyed life's fleeting hours.
His would have been an envied lot,
While woman there had entered not.
But when on Eve he set bis heart,
Peace from his bosom did depart;
His soul was eanght in woman’s snare,
And peace no more did enter there.
So in these modern times we see'
That women shape onr destiny;
Their will is seldom disobeyed,
Though foes by it of friends are made.
The empire which they o'er ns hold.
Is often seen, yet seldom told:
The best concerted plans they break.
And discord out of concord make.
This blacksmiths' firm it would appear,
Had wrought in peace for many a year;
But now and then a bonny lass,
Near by the shop was wont to pass:
And oft a-look within would throw,
To see the roaring bellows blow.
Perhaps in fact this pretty maid
Would fain have learned the blacksmiths’
trade.
’Tis true her mind she did not tell,
Bat Johnny guessed, and guessed it well:
So on this lass he made a call,
Without consulting Sam at all,
And spoke in accents soft and fond,
And so did she to him respond.
Oh! come, said he, no longer writ,
And what is mine shall be your fete;
And what is yours of course is mine,
Come! dearest angel, lose no time,
But let ns now united be—
United by the law’s decree.
Oh ! Johnny dear, she blushing cried,
I'll be your blacksmith, friend or bride;
Enough is said, do pray be still,
I will, I tell you, so I will.
She placed her bonnet on her head,
And started off with John to wed:
No empty show was there displayed,
He in his working garb arrayed :
No coat bis stalwart shoulders bear,
No glittering jewels sparkle there,
No polished calf his feet protect,
And kid and silk his hands reject:
But to his praise it surely is,
That shaven was his ugly phix.
The words were spoken, all was done,
Which of this two did make but one;
What God hath joined in hand and heart,
Let no man dare asunder part.
Bat threatening storms did soon portend'
This blacksmith’s firm should quickly end;
For Sam and John were changed to foes.
Their words were rough, and threatened
blows;
And while the storm did blow a gale,
Sam being scared, sent John to jail.
The firm dissolved, blew np and broke,
Midst fire and thunder, blood and smoke;
And all ’tis said, and who can doubt,
This third copartner brought about !

On last Monday morning, the amiable edit
or of the Christian Telegraph, breathed his
last. This bereavement falls heavily on
largo circle of acquaintances and friends;
and it is to be feared the interests of his new
paper will materially suffer; though, we un
derstand steps are being taken to supply his
place.
With Rev. Benjamin S. Anderson, we
had no acquaintance, until he settled in this
city, a few months since, for the purpose of
publishing his paper. We believe we have
never formed an acquaintance more agreea
ble, than with him. We have ever found
him the kind hearted, Christian Gentleman.
The business, in which be was engaged, be
ing similar to onr own, and new to bim, we
conversed frequently and freely ; so that we
may say, we were well acquainted with him.
Such was the artless simplicity of his man
ners, that his acquaintance was easily made;
and we soon become anxious to moke it—and
did make it very much to onr satisfaction.
We feel while we write, as if he were our
own mother's son: His guileless tongue and
pare heart, were ready for another world.
His funeral was numerously attended—a
very appropriate discourse was delivered by
Rev. Mr. Tucker in the Methodist Protestant
Church, after which, the body was interred
with the ceremonies of the Masonic Paterni
ty of whieh he was a member, and an orna-

all yon had said to me at different times a-

COMMUNICATED.
Madison, Geo., May 29,1852.
My dear Sir :—It must he pleasant to ev
ery Georgian to know that most if not all of
our towns and villages are growing, both in
wealth and population, but I doubt if any of
them are increasing in the same proportion
as the one from which this letter is dated.
A number of years since, when Madison was
at the head of the Georgia Rail Road, it en
joyed of coarse, a greater amount of trade
than at this time—but from the period when
the road was extended, the reaction was so
great that for several years it was as remark
able for its dullness as it had been for the op
posite. Within two years, however, the vil
lage has been rapidly and steadily growing
until now it is known abroad as «the most
beautiful and most flourishing town in Geor
gia !”
Nothing has contributed so much to the
advancement of Madison, as the two excel
lent and deservedly popular Female Col
leges, which have sprang np, almost as if by
magic, in our midst. The Madison Female
College,was established in 1848: and is under
the patronage of the Georgia Conference of
foe Xf. E. Church. The Faculty are, Rsju L.
L. Wiftich, President aad Professor of Men
tal and Moral Science; Rev. J. H. Echols,
Professor of Mathematics; Rev. John M.
Bonnell, Professor of Ancient and Modern
Bondages; George C. Taylor, Professor of
Music. The Georgia Female College was
chartered by the Legislature in 1849, and
is under foe patronage of the Baptist denom
ination of Georgia. The Faculty are—
Geo. T. Browne, President and Professor of
Mental and Moral Science; P. Load, Pro
fessor of Natural Sciences; L R. Branham,
Professor of Mathematics and Director of
Mnsic; Henry M. Hottzclaw, Professor of
Belles Lettres- Both faculties axe assisted
in difouent departments, by lsdies, and m
Very much donbt if more efficient ins tractors

ten years entitles bim to tbe highest consid

than twenty-two Engines, all of which will
be in use early in tbe coming autumn. He
has also contracted for four first class Pas
senger Cars.
The great demand for Engines, makes it
difficult to procure them—Mr. Wadley, like
himself, has been every whcrc*That~offered
any probability of success, as the following
will show;
He is to receive from Messrs. Anderson
and Souther, Tredegor works, Richmond,
Va., six Freight, and two Passenger Engines.
These will all be manufactured ont of Amer
ican Iron—out of Southern Iron.
Three Freight Engines are to be made by
Norris Broihers, Philadelphia.
Mr. M. W. Baldwin, Philadelphia, is to
furnish three Freight Engines-
Two Freight Engines and two Passenger
engines are to be made at tbe works of
Messrs. Rogers, Ketchom, and Grosvernor,
Patterson, N. J.
Mr. Seth Willmoth, South Boston, is to
furnish two Freight Engines, and one small
Engine for switching.
The Amoskeeg Machine Company will fur
nish one Freight Engine.
Mr. Wadley contracted with Messrs. Har
lan & Hoi ling worth for four first class Pas
senger Cars, two of which are already bnilt.
Thus it will be seen- that the indefatigable
Superintendent of the State Road, wbile his
traducers have been shooting their newspaper
squibs at him, has travelled all over the
country in behalf Of the road.
Go ahead Mr. Wadley—the people see
your labor, and e'er long, they wili appreci

The Randolph Negroes.—A writer in
the Baltimore Patriot, who is travelling in
Ohio, gives this account.of the Randolph ne
groes, who, it will be remembered, were driv
en from their homes which had been procured
for them by tbe whites:
> Troy, about twenty miles from Dayton
is a small and rather delapidated town be
tween this place and Piqur. Along the ca
nal are a majority of the Randolph negroes.
It was in foe adjoining county or Mercer,
that the large tract of land was purchased
for their settlement, from whieh they were
forcibly ejected by the white inhabitants.—
The condition of these poor creatures is a
bad commentary on the miserable policy of
emancipating negroes, and allowing them to
remain in this country. The majority of
these once valuable servants, are now worth
less beasts upon foe community among whom
they are located, and often want for the com
mon necessities of life. I heard several ex
press an ardent wish to return to tire shores
of Roanak'e again, where they had plenty,
and did not know what it was to suffer for
want.”
IcsignatioB of Senator Berrien—Appoint
ment of Judge Charlton.
'Ytt learn from Milledgeville that the
Hon? John Macpberson Berrien, U. S. senator
from this State, has tendered to Gov. Conn
his resignation, to take effect foe last of this
month, and that his Excellency, by virtue of
the authority vested in him by the constitu
tion, has appointed the Hon. Roar. M.
Charlton, of this city, his successor. Judge
Charlton, we understand, has accepted tho
appointment.
We aramot apprised of tho reasons which
led to Judge Berrien's resignation. Pos
sibly his recent domestic afflictions may
have influenced him to the step. Be that aa
it may, « he has done the State some service”
in his day; and however widely others may
differ from him on certain political questions,
no one will deny to him a brilliant intellect.

What is a Kossuth Bond !—The New
York Journal of Commerce has the following
description of and observations on, a Kossuth
bond:
A gentleman who got < sacked in’ with one
the other day, to tbe amount of one dollar,
has kindly loaned, not given it to ns, that
we may determine to 'what species of bum-
bug it belongs. It is dated New York, Feb
ruary 2,1852, check letter B. No. 20,798.
At the top is the genius of liberty treading
on the neck of a king. At the bottom, on
the left, is a full portrait of Kossnth, with
his hat and feather; on the right the person
ification of Liberty. The filting-up is as fol
lows :
HUNGARIAN rUND.
On demand one year after the establish
ment in feet of the Independent Hungarian
Government, the holder hereof shaH be en
titled to One Dollar, payable at the Nation
al Treasury, or at either of its Agencies at
London or New York or to exchange the same
in sums of Fifty Dollars or over, for certif
icates bearing four per cent, interest, paya
ble in ten equal annual instalments from one
year after said event. L Kossuth,
It will be observed that Kossnth does not
promise to pay this money himself, nor does
he promise that anybody else will—but that
foe holder will be «entitled” to receive H, i.
e. if be can get it, either at the agency of foe
Hungarian Treasury in London or in New
York, i. e. if there should be any such agen-
ncy, in one year after the establishment of
the Hungarian Government, i. o. if there 1
should be any such Government. If he*
did promise that, promise would be all.—
He was once Governor ef Hungary, bat for
mally resigned foe trust when foe Crisis
came, so that « Robin’, alive” did not even-
die in his hand: Such « bonds’” are a bur
lesque upon the very idea - of a promise.—-
They are a fraud or a humbug on foe lace
of them; and for that reason, if for no other,
ought not to be encouraged.
