GRIFFIN, JANUARY 20, X 853.
We want Money.
AVo are under the necessity of having
money', and therefore obliged to call on
those indebted to this office to settle up.—
No one can consider this an unreasonable
or improper request. We have to pay
cash for almost every expense we incur in
the prosecut ion of our business, and surely
we have a right to look for a response
from our patrons at the cud of the year.—
To those who have already attended to
ns we return our sincere thanks ; aud we
trust others who hayA not, will eril-oir-ns
without delay.” We have no alternative;
we are obliged to have money; we cannot
wait longer, those who do not know
what owe’ we are always rea
dy to give that information.
“*■ * Our Job Office.
AVe have just furnished our .office*with
an additional amount of new job type,
together with those on hand, most
ly'purchased year before last, make oar job
office complete, for the execution of pam
phlets; cards, handbills, or any other work
iu our line, which we are determined to do
in the, best style and on the most moderate
terms. -Thankful for a large increase of
public patronage during the year, we
respectfully solicit a continuance, of the
pledging ourself that we will work
as cheap as any one else in the State of
Georgia. AVe are determined no one shall
underbid us in our prices.
Municipal Meeting.
There will be a meeting pf the citizens
of Griffin in favor of the Union Compro
mise Ticket, to nominate a candidate for
Mayor of the city o? Griffin, on the night
of Sat-nrd iy the 22<1 inst. All in favor of
the reduction of city Taxes, arc especially
requested to attend the meeting. At the
same time will be nominated, a full ticket
of Aldermen for the city of Griffin.
MAN Y CITIZENS.
Jan. 19th, 1853.
The Schools at Griffin.
And by the schools we mean academies
.. * *
seminaries, colleges, and every other spe
cies of school iu ‘which learning is taught.
AY e stated in our last that Mr. Morrow
opened with between fifty and sixty pupils,
which we understand, have increased this
week to eighty. The Synodical Female
College, we also understand, lias made a
handsome beginning, opening with between
forty and fifty, with a daily increase. AA r e
have no doubt both these institutions will
lie filled, and do well. But while these fe
male seminaries promise so much, we are
sorry to see the male academies rather
languishing. Mr. Swobe, we understand,
has about thirty scholars, when he ought
to have eighty. Mr. Humphrey only- de
desired sixteen in the classics, but we un
derstand has not yet obtained them, and
Mr. Barnett has not been encouraged ei
ther to the extent of his merits or com
petency. We trust the boys are not to
be turned out like the wild ass’s colt, and
the girls receive all the education. Wc
have no objection in the world to see the
mind of the one thoroughly cultivated, but
we can assure the parents their boys need
a good deal of cultivation too. AVe need
the Baptist College for males, and we
trust the gentlemen will persevere until
they carry it through.
Menagerie and Circus.
AVe advertise in to-day’s paper, 0:1c of
the most complete public exhibitions of the
day, combining Raymond & Co’s Menage
rie with Mabie & Co’s Circus. Entrance
to both only fifty cents. They will exhib
it at McDonough on Friday the 4th of
February, at Griffin on Saturday the sth,
and at Zebulou on Monday the 7th. For
particulars see the advertisements in the
papers, and large handbills.
Education.
AVe refer to our first page for an excel
lent article on the interesting subject of
education. We trust its length will not
prevent its perusal. It is good from be
ginning to end.
AVe should be ungrateful if we did not
acknowledge the increased patronage which
has been extended to us through our friends
since the beginning of the year, particular
ly in the increase of our subscription list.
W c hope others will go and do likowiso.—
wc imvo sent one or more subscription pa
pers to each Post Office. Will our friends
use their best means to fill them?

Temperance Addresses.
Bo it known that S. M. Hewlett, the
celebrated Temperance Lecturer, will de
liver public addresses at the times and pla
ces following:
Jackson, 011 Monday, 24th inst. at T o’clock,
P. M.
Griffin, Tuesday, 25th, same time.
Zebulou, AVeducsday, 26th, 11 A. M.

Mr. Hewlett is a rare lecturer, fufk of
anecdote aud fan, What a choice spirit
lie must have been, when he was “one of
us!'’ He does not charge any thing for
his sport, but as he must necessarily pay
his travelling expenses, it wiil be as well
that each of his hearers put a little change
in his pocket to aid iif making up a small
contribution for him.
. The Rail Read Casualty.
t
In our paper of last week we gave a
condensed notice of the unfortunate rail
road casualty, netir Andover, by-which the
President elept was deprived by instant
death of liis only son and child. On our
first page this d|eek will be found the par
ticulars of the melancholy catastrophe,
furnished by a reverend clergyman, one of.
the passengers in the unfortunate car.—
The account is of deep but melancholy in
terest.
In this poignant affliction of the Pn ident
elect, we are happy to perceive, by private
accounts, that the injuries received by Mrs.
Pierce were not of a serious character, as
represented in the advices first published.
Gen. Pierce himself escaped with a slight
wrench of the spine. In the language ol
a correspondent, “Gen. Pierce’s injuries
prove to be very slight, and Mrs. Pierce
is not much hurt, but is wholly prostrated
by deep grief.”
Uncle Tom’s Cabin as a Sabbath
School Book. —The Pittsburg Despatch
states that the cheap edition of Mrs. Stowe’s
celebrated work lias been introduced r.s a
S ibbath school book in the School of
Liberty stre-1 Methodist Episcopal Church
in that city. Some opposition is mauo, but
the majority are in favor of the step.
AVe have been, for some time past, of
the opinion, that the Southern people
should discontinue their orders on the North
for Sabbath School books. All books
from the Tract and Bible Society at the
North should bo discountenanced. They
can all be printed as well at the South;
and if they cost a little more, the money is
spent amongst us, and we know we are
getting sound works. -
Louis Napoleon
On our first page will be found an in
teresting and curious detail of tins new
sovereign’s doings in his midnight revels.
This account was brought over by one of
the steamers some twenty days ago, and
strange to say, by a later arrival, the Baltic,
we removed the intelligence that a decree
had been issued by the emperor nomina
ting ex-king Jerome and his mam issue line
al heirs to the throne, in the event of fall
ing to leave issue himself, thus already
confirming one of the prophecies of that
strange letter.
Nomination of Mr. Badger.
On Tuesday the 4th irsst. the President
sent to the Senate the nomination of Hon.
George E. Badger, of North Carolina, for
the vacant judgeship on the Supreme
Bench. It appears this nomination is not
likely to be confirmed, on the ground that
Mr. Badger does not reside within the
circuit Where the vacancy exists, being
composed of the States of Alabama, Missis
sippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas.—
The nomination will be laid over for Mr.
Pierce. Gen. Downs, now Senator from
Louisiana, who will be succeeded by Mr.
Benjamin, a Whig, after the 3d of March
next, it is supposed will be offered the ap
pointment.
A similar case occurred at the close of
Mr. Van Burcn’s administration. The last
official act of that gentleman was to np
poin Peter V Daniel, of Virginia, to the
same bench, in a circuit not embracing Mr.
Daniel’s residence; bat the Senate, not
withstanding, confirmed the nomination.
We are rather of the opinion that this
appointment will not be confirmed because
Mr. Badger is a Whig and the Senate are
Democratic; who think, and no doubt cor
rectly, that if the nomination is laid over,
the office will fall into the hands of a good
Democrat. This is not exactly right, and
can only be defended on the ground of
self-defence, the Whigs doing the same
thing whenever they have it in their power.
New Senators.
Gov. Collier, of Alabama, has appoint
ed Hon. Benj. Fitzpatrick U. S. Senator,
in place of Hon. Win. R. King, resigned.
Hon. John M. Clayton lias been elect
ed for the same office in the State of Del
aware.
Mr. Douglas has been re-elected for the
State of Illinois.
Hon. John Pettit, in-place of Gov. Whit
comb, deceased, in Indiana.
Gen. Houston will undoubtedly be re
elected in Texas.
John S. Phelps will oppose Col. Benton
in Missouri.
Senator Upiiam, of Vermont, died at
Washington City on Friday the 11th insl.f
The Spirituals again.
We would not be much surprised (yes
we would, and most confoundedly scared
too) if some of the spirits were to catch us
some dark night in our shirt tail, just on
our way to bed, after the candle was blown
out, and give us a rapping that would make
us remember them for all time to come,
for not putting more faith and confidence
in their words and deeds. But we cannot
help it. There have been so many hum
bugs in this world'’lately, that with all our
‘credulity, wc cannot believe all. Still we
are not as bad as some. Wc do not make
fun of the spirits, ns others do, nor of their
manifestations. Just look at the editor of
the Cuynga Chief , a paper printed at
Cnyuga, in the State of New York. The
Spiritual Harbinger contains the follow
ing \
“In the twelfth “1:onr the glory of God,
the Life iu God, the Lord in God, the
Holy Procedure, shall crown the Triune
Creator with the perfect disclosirc illumi
nation. Then shall the Creation in efful
gence above the divine seraphimal, arise
into the doom of the disclosure in one com
prehensive, revolving galaxy of supreme
created Beatitudes.”
Now look how the wicked Chief , no
better than a veritable aborigine, uses up
this splenflid disclosure in his ridiculous
paraphrase: ** “* >-
Then shall blockheads, in the'Jaclvhssi
eal dome of disclosive procedure, * above
the all-fired great leatherfungns of Peter
Nip-ninny-go, the Gooseberry Grinder, rise
into the dome disclosive until co-equal and
co-ex tensive -rnd conglomerated lunmxes’
in fine comprehensive mux shall assimilate
into nothing and revolve like a bob-tailed
pussy cat after the space where the tail
was!
Mor monism.
Oiisqn Pratt, one of the Twelve Apostles,
of the Latter Day Saints, is now preaching
at Washington city, and has established a
Mormon paper there, called the “Seer.”—
The “Seer” , r ,i Icfc-nerrhc-doc
trine of polygamy openly, and attempts to
justify it by scripture. The power of Con
gress or of any State to prohibit it is de
nied. The Mormons seem to have en
grafted the Mahomcdan doctrine in rela
tion to wives upon their religious creed.—
The National Intelligencer remarks as fol
lows:
“In reference to this, as to other points
of the Mormon docfcwrte-, Elder Pratt refers
to his journal “the Seer,” of which the first
number has appeared. In this lie defends
a plurality of wives as a divine institution,
from argument founded on the practices of
three-fourths of mankind now, the custom
of the old Jewish patriarchs, and the al
leged tacit allowances of Christ. Ite also
claims that polygamy is not proscribed bv
the constitution of the United States, but
rather guarantied, when held under reli
gious conviction, by that article of the a
mendmeuts to the* constitution which af
firms that “Congress shall make no law re
specting an establishment of religion or pro
hibiting the free exercise thereof.” This
plurality of wives lie styles the “celestial
marriage,” which he asserts is to be a union
.as well i;i tj.no. U'?„ ... wonUI
seem now 10 oe no room for doubt
about Mormon sen laments on this head;
tiiey are not only acknowledged but pro
claimed and sought to be universally
spread.”
AVe are of opinion that these Mormon
billygoats make a small mistake, as re
gards their many wives, and while no man
may lie punished for his religion in the
United States, 110 is fully amenable to the
laws for h.is licentiousness, whatever name
he may chose to call it by. If the name
ami pretence of religion could shield im
morality and vice hv-n punishment, what
a religious fraternity should We find among
thieves, robbers, gamblers, house-breakers,
&c. The frail sisterhood would be the
most pious ladies in community. Every one
would be guilty of their enormities by vir
tue of their religion.

North Carolina Senator.— I The Legisla

out electing a Senator; and as it is said
the Governor has no power to appoint one,
that State in the Se
nate of the United States for the next two

The Derby ministry in England has been

W e haJ just t>een thinking of paying
some small compliment to our co'empo

Ihe Savanna a Phess.— Four years

Ito each, and all have the appearance of

Griffin, January, ! So3.
| Mr. Editor : —ln our day and gerse
; ration, wonders upon wonders are taking
j place, filling men’s minds with awful hal
lucinations, enough to stai tie our eyes
| from their sockets, “too deep or too
j shallow for our comprehension.” Grave
I divines and sober people, the wicked and
the good, the cit and the rustic are all e
qualiv carried away by thestrangs ecstacv.
Isms of all sorts come showering upon us,
in rapid succession. Miilerism, Mor
monism, Magnetism, Galvanism, ftles
i merism, and though last not least, spitit-
I uaiism. We must have anew encyclo
! pedia suited to the age for these newly
j discovered sciences. We have enough
j now to require us to lay aside evetv other
[business and sttend to nothing else but the
j investigation, the rationale, the philoso
phy, the theology, the why and where
fore of these recent developments We
derive from archaeology no knowledge to
guide us in these phenomena. Anew
j name is now invented from the Greek
I language, to embrace most of them under
one learned term, which, in some degree,
explains them. Electro anthfopla, in
English, ciectro-anthropy, that is, an-
thropical electricity, ami the new science
must hereafter he called electro-anthro
pology. These words we know, are
jaw-crackers, but very comprehensive in
their meaning—human electricity, both
mental and annual, passionate, sympa
thetic, attractive, repulsive, and espe
cial!;- psychological.
The ancieul Greeks anJ Humans in
their ignorance and foolish mythology,
invested Jupiter inaximus, with the rd'ii-
I bute and power of electricity, and called
liitn Jupiter Tonans, Jupiter the thunder
er, and in painting and sculpture repre
sented him riding in his chariot, sending
from Iris hands, feet and head, streams
of electricity in the shape of fiery ser
pents and barbed arrow’s in zig-zag
coursel-. But now, from the new name
and doctrine, men are invested with this
| tremendous attribute- Poor pagans,
1 what a mistake they made, in calling it
Jovial thunder. Men, human finite beings,
now claim the prerogative, entering where
angels fear to tread. If it be so, if men
are so many electric or galvanic batte
ties, we would caution the women and
children to keep at a respectful distance
from them, lest when charged plus, they
might drive their galvanic or lightning
rods into them and give them a most tre
meudous shock, and throw them into
the “interior.” We never knew that
any of the goddesses hurled thundet
bolts, or kicked up a storm on earth, ex
cept when their celestial spouses were
acting beneath their dignity or acting out
of their sphere. Therefore be wide awake
and keep all your senses about you, that
these men-thunderers do not come it on
you, and mortally injure you. For a
long time we could not precise!)’’ under
stand Senator Toomb’s masked battery,
but now the thing is clear. We compre
hend it in all its developement. It was
electro-anthropy. It is a wonder it did
not burst and blow abolitionism skv High,
and into impalpable atoms. We trust
that Mr. Ericson will invent some ma
chinery to control this ivgw power or!
principle, and force it to move by fixed j
mechanical laws propel ships and trans-
mit intelligence by electro-anthropologi
cal telegraphs, thus do away steamships
and wooden posts and copper wires.—
However, in all new phenomena, that
we do not understand, we will do as
the negro man, Tom, said be did,
when, in a dark night, he saw a little
spirit chasing a big one,and as they pass
ed him in the race, lie cried out ingreat ex
citement, ,C I will stand and see what lit
tle spillit is going to do to big spillet.”—
This is the safest plan till we see the final
result. It is no leason why a fact is not true
because we have not seen it. A British
captain once told a negro king in Africa
that water was sometimes hard enough
to drill a regiment of cavalry.on it. He
drove him out of his country,saying such
a liar should not stay there. ,

The FI iitja Legislature.
The Floridian and Journal of the Bth ‘

The most important measure of the ses-;

the Senate last night with amendments, !
and the House again to-day, being a bill j

]urates $500,000, pledging ten per cent. 1
of the State revenue for the redemption of
the bonds authorized to be issued to raise j
this smn. The Governor is required to !
keep the tender of the volunteers open un
til the 4th of May next, when if they are
not received, and nothing is being done
towards removing tiie Indians in the mean
time, 1 he State is to go to work and do the
business herself., This measure will not
only test the sincerity of the present aud
determination of the future administration,
but will forever settle the question as to
whether the Indians are to remain in the
State or not. Florida is in earnest, and
will not longer submit to.have her prosper
ity blighted by the presence of a band of
miscreant savages, who might have been
removed long ago if proper energy had
.been put forth on the part of those whose
J duty it is to remove them.
Sea Island Cotton —The Charles
ton Courier says the first seed of the Sea
Island lor.g staple Cotton was sent from
the Bahamas to Georgia in 1736, and the
first experiments were made with it on:
the Sea Jdands near the mouth of the j
■Savannah River. The plants did not i
bear the first year, but, the winter prov
ing mild, the rattoons bore fruit the year
following, and thus became acclimated.
1 lift original seed came from Persia.—
The successful growth of this world-wide
famous kind of cotton is confined to a
string of Islands stretching from George
town, in South Carolina, to St. Mary’s
river in Georgia, a distance of nearlv two
hundred miles, including a belt of coast
not over fifteen miles wide Ps culture
is now being introduced into Florida.
Cholera on Board the Bricj Seig
Zebra —Captain Rudolph, of the United
States revenue Cutter Flawillon, anived
here on Saturday, informed us that ;he
biig Zebra , from New Orleans for Libe
ria, put into Coekspur Roads, on Satur
day in distress. The Zebra left New
Orleans on the first instant, under charter
of the Colonization Socie'y, having on
board one hundred and ten negroes.
On the 4tl>, a disease, supposed to be
cholera, made its appearance among the
emigrants, and before the vessel reached
Coekspur her commander, Capt. Edward
Miichei, one of the crew and 27 of the
negroes had died of it
O pt. Rudolph took a physician down
to the brig on Saturday evening, and as
our city authorities will doubtless do all
in their power to aid the sufferers, we
may hope the disease will soon be check
ed and the vessel be able to proceed on
her voyage- Savannah Georgian.
Explosion of Imre Damp —Our friend
Win. Hone, of the firm of Hone & Con
nery, met with an unfortunate accident
last Saturday evening, which, as in a re
cent case in New Yotk, might, under
slightly ibiFerent olmmiKlnnces, Ji.vo re
sult ed in death. Gas fixtures were be
ing put into his house on Liberty street
on that day, and the work was yet in
complete. The consequence was an es
cape of the gas from a room in the base
ment., which soon became very oll'ensive-
Mr. Hone, taking a candle in Ids hand,
went to find where the leak in the pipe
was. When the light approached to the
place of the leak, a violent and loud ex
plosion took place, filling the room with
sudden light, burning objects in the room,
suc!i as clothes, papers, &e. forcing out
the windows and shutters, and throwing
Mr. H. with violence on the floor, with
his face and hands much burned. The
explosion was so loud that to people in
the neighborhood it resembled the crash
of a falling house. The alarm and con
sternation, as might be expected, was
considerable, particularly in the family of
Mr. Hone, who were up stairs, and fear
ed the worst consequences for a short
time. As several objects were set on
fire, the accident might have caused the
destruction of the house but for the pre
sence of mind of.Mr. H. IV eare happy .
to state that though his injuries are by no l
means slight, he is able to be out aud at
tend to his business. AH things consid
ered, his escape may be deemed very
fortunate, os the violence of the explosion
was so great as to raise the floor of the
room above slightly, and derange some
what the mantle piece and other finish
ings.—Sav. Rep.
Prosperity or the South -—The
New Orleans Bulletin says that the pre
sent condition of the planters of the South,
in a pecuniary sense, is infinitely more
favorable than any time within the last
ten or (ilteen years. Asa general thing,
abundant crops of every description have
rewarded the farmer, and plenty, if not a
profusion, of all the necessaries, to say
nothing of the dispensilde luxuries nf life,
may be found throughout the length and
breadth of the slaveholding States.
Iron Lace. — !l is stated that at Not
tingham, England, the great centre of
the lace manufacture, they are now man
ufacturing a most beautiful article of lace
for window curtains, bed curtains, &c.
of iron wire. Iron houses, iron ships,
and now iron capes for the ladies!
Preaching to Slaves. Among the
resolutions adopted by the Conference of
the Methodist Church South, was one
that preachers should, once a month,
preach to the colored people on the plan
tations of their masters. Where’s Mrs.’
Stowe? Where’s Uncle Tom?
Accidental Death. —James Mulhol
land, n train hand on the Central Bail
road, was instantly killed at 5 1-2 station,
on Wednesday 12th inst. in attempting
to get on the car while in motion, llis
remains were carried to Savannah and an
inquest held over him, when the jury ren
dered a verdict in accordance with the
above facts.
Anew Jonathan who had been gazing
at a garden in this city, in which were
several marble statues, exclaimed—“ Just
see what a waste! Here’s no less than six
scare-crows, in this little ten foot patch,
and any one of-’em would, keep the crows
from a five acre lot.’’ * ;
