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.

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.

We trust its length will not prevent its perusal. It is good from be ginning to end.

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. Chrystal Palace. The construction of the Chrystal Pal ace, in New York, is prosecuted’with en ergy, and its completion is assured in sea son for -f oxldb'Jfio-u^ the 2d of May next. Meantime, arrange ments are in progress to secure a briliant representation of the choicest productions of the world’s industry in both hemispheres. We forgot in our last, as we do now, to call the attention of our readers to the Circular lately issued by the managers. It will be found on our last page. Mayor of Oglethorpe. In our last wc announced a tie between Mr. AVilson, the late incumbent, and Col. Sorrell, formerly of this place. The gen tlemen have had another trial at the bal lot box, and Sorrell beat his opponent four votes. llis Exoeliemiy Gov. Cobb has ordered an election by the people to be held on the 23th day of February next, to fill the va cancy in the judgeship of the South Wes tern Circuit, occasioned by the death of lion. Wm. Taylor. North Carolina Senator.— I The Legisla ’ ture of North Carolina has adjourned with 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 years. The Derby ministry in England has been defeated in Parliament, and, as customary, Lord Derby has resigned the Premiership. Anew ministry has been formed under Lord Aberdeen, embracing Lord Palincr . ston, Sir John Russel, Marquis of Lans downe, and others of similar stamp. It is, in a word, a very able, high tory ministry’ not over friendly to the United States: Health of Vice President King. —The Washington Republic of Thursday last says: Lhe Hon, W. R. King did not depart lor Havana yesterday, in consequence- of the unfavorable change in the weather. We were informed last evening that the health ol the honorable gentleman was slightly worse than it had been for some days previously.” Sava? nab aud is Papers W e haJ just t>een thinking of paying some small compliment to our co'empo rnries of the city of Savannah, when the following article met our eye in the Fed fnd Union. We cheerfully copy and adopt it, as just and due to those whom it concerns. In addition to the courteous editor of the Courier , we may also men tion the Republican , with which we are also favored daily. Ihe Savanna a Phess.— Four years ago but two papers were published in the city of Savannah —at present there are five , viz : The Republican , the Georgian, the News, the Savannah Journal , and Courier. No better evidence could he wanted to prove that the city of Savan nah has been making rapid strides in im provement and progress within the'iast four years, than the number, character and ability of the Press in that city at this day. A liberal support seems to be given Ito each, and all have the appearance of j success stamped upon their smiling coun | tenanees. We are always pleased to re | ceive and gratified to read our Savannah l Exchanges. To them all we extend our I best wishes for their success and useful ness. To the Editor of the Courier , in particular, we ex pi ess our sincere ac knowledgements for his J Jail if the only daily visitor we have from the city of Oglethorpe —doubly esteemed on that account. - sG.OV. Cos KB AND THE CABINET. A pa per having been circulated for signatures in Washington, urging the appoint merit of Gov. Cobh of Georgia, to a place in the Cabinet, that gentleman has written to his friends in the Federal metropolis as follows: “I am unwilling that anything shall he done by my friends in Washing ton, that shall place me, or seem to place me, in the attitude of an applicant to Gen. Pierce for a place in his Cabinet. lean never consent to occupy that position.' 1 ’ Richmond Times, Jan. Vilh. A New Coin. —We were shown yes terday a Swedish silver coin, of the issue of 185vJ, under Kong Oscar, a very large quantity of which has been recently brought to this city, and now il rods the market. Their intrinsic vi'ue is six cents; they tare ot the size of a dime, somewhat thinner, and much lighter.— I here is a possibility of these coins being passed oil as dimes. The slightest ex amination detects the difference.— N. O. Pic. Dec. 23 d. For the Jeffersonian. 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. , FJ(ji MIG A BY. ! The FI iitja Legislature. The Floridian and Journal of the Bth ‘ inst. says: The most important measure of the ses-; sion passed the House on Thursday night,*| the Senate last night with amendments, ! and the House again to-day, being a bill j authorizing the raising of two Regiments of volunteers for Indian service. The bill provides that the Regiments thus raised shall be tendered to the Government, and if; refused, the Governor is then to employ them in removing the savages. It appro- 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.
