C'uugrVMH, Parties are very evenly balauoed io the House »ud it is oeces^ary that ©Tory Democrat should be in his place or the Republicans will get control of the body. The Democrats have onljone majority over all parties tombmed—too close by far to be pleasant. Per haps however this equality in num erical strength will t©nd to make parties respect each other and thu* cause less vituperation and more work in .Congress, If this result should be brought about by the means indicated, the country will have cause*to congratulate itself upon the closeness of parties. At all events we trust Southern members will notallow themselves to bo provoked into angry debates or any attempt to defend the South against any thing exept specific ebarges; even that is unnecessary, since not one Northern man in ten will even see or hear ot the de fence. In purging this course,as we have said heretofore, our mem bers willbeboth best representing Southern opinion and subserve the interest of their constituents. The Macon ami Brunswick lt.lt. Governor Colquitt has dtcided to lease this road in January next under the law passed at the last session of our Legislature. We trust that the road will be leased this time according to Jaw, an! t! at the lessees will go to work to connect the line with Atlanta. We th.nk the line suggested by our respected cot mporsry, the Macon Telegraph and Mesiengt r,is by far the mos' feasible of any that we have seen proposed. However this may be,we trust the road will be leased or sold—mid if possible. We do not believe that a railroad can be operated successfully for auy considoiable period of time by this or auy other Staie. Written for the Herald. NINA; OR A TALE OF THE AMERICAN REVOLLTION ! BY ITEXi.Y THORNE. CHAPTER XII. Upon hiR arrival in the city Edward Hartwell lust no time in making his way to headquarters, and paying his respects to the commanding officer of tbo Britibh forces. If he had been a hellish or ambitious man he would |>er- haps have thought on his arrival that hii visit had been too long deferred. He found Col Campbell surrounded by Some of the wealthiest and most prominent citizens of Savannah—;some of whom he knew to have been pre vious to the capture of the city loud mouthed in their professions of friendship to the American side; »ow however they were the most for ward and uoi y in demonstrations of their newborn loyally. It Chanced that the day on which Hartwell had visited the city had been fixed upon by Col. Campbell for a general and public re ception, so that when he arrived at headquarters he found that officer rounded by a large and brilliant throng of ladies,civilians and military officers. Hartwell after having gone through the tonus of an introduction said te Campbell; “Colonel, I am 3<>me to congratulate you on the capture of the capital of this province and the success of his majesty’s arms. I trust British au thority is now permanently restored in this province.” “Thank you my dear Mr. Hartwell. 1 may say without Uattciy that if the Auiaiicana were nil like yourself, there would be no opportunity for his maj esty’s officers and soldiers to win any laurels,in this country since there would of course have been no war. But we had begun to feat that we should not have the pleasure of your acquaintance uor the privilege of availing ourselves of the benefit of your counsels.” “Were circumstances otherwise,’ an swered ho, “1 would owe you an apol ogy for my tardy appearance; as it is, you are eutilied to an explanation, n\noo I hold it the duty of all good nibjects to aid to the extent of their ability the good cawtut in which you are engagod. If you will withdraw with me to yonder's window for a mo ment you shall know why I have not been here before this day.’ \ Id compliance with this re<|$o$, x.Wuvl Campbell walked to the [joint indicated and was followed by hiJvis- I will u <t iron*»lo yiM i wi 1 briiJy slate that some woc«» sinoe 1 was deprived of my ouiy child —a child 1 may say without boasting, that was the favorite of all my friends and that wuajustly and devotedly loved by her parents—her mother sud my self. She was little morti lliuii three years old but very iuUdiigont for her age. We had counted on many, rnanx happy hours in her company,* without a single moment’s warning alu- was Snatched fioin our arms forevar.” Here he was forced to pause for a mo ment *a> regain his composure. “She fell out of my boat,” he contiuued, “and was lost; and we wore not par- witted the consolation even of recovei ing the body. The shock upon my wife, klr*. Hartwell, was so sudden aud tei iUle that for weeks we despaired ot her reason aud her life. It is only fo< week past that 1 have been able ti leave her bedside for more than a fe» minutes together. This iu brief i- why 1 have not sooner teudered you i my oongratulatious for your success and victory.” “Your narrative is affecting and yon- loss truly deplorable. I tender yc my dee|K.'st sympathy. In the face • a calamity so afflicting the words o. even the dearest friends are but empty sounds; but if at any time it shall be in my power to rentier you auy assis tance that will in the least contribute to the alleviation of the sufferings of Mrs. Hartwell and yourself do not hes itate to make known your wishes. We bad hoped that Mrs. Hartwell would grace our reception with her presence. All tongues are eloquent with praise of her amiability and goodness.” “Thank you for the kind manner in which you sj»eak of Mrs. Hartwell. I have no doubt had circumstances been otherwise that she would have been happy to have contributed her mite toward making your stay in Georgia pleasant aud agreeable. As it is. 1 fear she will nev\»r be well again.

I will shortly let yon hear from me definitely with reference to my return to England. In the mean time if it is in my power to render you any assistance by contributing in formation or otherwise,you have only to signify your wish and it will be at once complied with so far as my abil ity extends.” They now mingled with the com pany and the conversation weut on as usual on such occasions. Hurtwell however as. soon as custom would permit took his leave of Colonel Camp bell aud his friends, and returned homo, having accomplished all he had intended by his visit. When Hartwell returned home he communicated to Mrs. Hartwell the substance of the interview with Col. Campbell, and for himself expressed the hope that they would be able to return to England in the next vessel that left Savannah; and he had learned from some of the naval officers whom he had aeon in the city that this would he not later than three or four weeks. Mrs. Hartwell was elated with the in telligence which her husband had brought, and her face wore a more hopeful expression than at any period subsequent to the loss of her child. A week or so after Hartwell’s visit to the city Mrs. Hartwell iu a conver sation with lu r husband informed him that she felt confident that she would after the lapse of another week be strong enough to undertake the voyage to KngUnd.&nd iusi.tcd that he slioui.l visit Savannah, and if possible aacer- tain exactly when there would tie an opportunity for them to leave America. Hartwell himself was of the opinion that Ilia wife was correct iu the opinion she entertained of her ability to make the voyage, aud lie accordingly proms ised that he on the n *xt lie day w ould ride up to the city, h am when the next veasel would sail for England,aud obtain permission, to avail hioutelfof the opportunity it offered of carrying hia wife back to England, where hoped time, am! a change of scene and association would cffrqt what lie con|d ui/. hope to do, elfliciV lo- physic or JOHN KINO, P. .pill'to THE SOUTHERN FIBS M0NTSL7.

To be sure, custom may for a while .be allured by low prices into the purchase of inferior and adulterated articles; many even take up with short weight aud other rwindiing; but time rights all these things, and nothing is more certain than that HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY HEN DO BUSINESS TO MAKE MONEY!
