and Appears to be worthy of the patronage
of the Fraternity. It is published at Mt.

A WISE ACT.
W« learu that Dr. Hi Uyer of our city
refuses to accept the office tendered him
in a hybrid concern trying to be organized
in this city, called a Medical College.—
All praise tn Dr Hillyer. We reckon
several more will be found in the same
situation.
COPPER ORE.
We have upon our table some beautiful
jpeeiinena of Copper Ore, from the coun
ty of Paulding. The pieces sent us, are

grove of Gorden county ; Ga. We learn
the mine is very rich, and equal to any
yet opened in the South Those develop

BOTANIC MEDICAL COLLEGE AT MACON.
While on a visit to Maoon a few days |
since, we were kindly invited to examine
the above Institution. We did so. The
College is beautifully located, its rooms I
are peculiarly adapted for lecturing, and
While we do not agree with the Professor’s
medically, we cannot but admire the en
ergy, spirit, and industry of the Faculty, |
who are agreeable gentlemen. This edi
fice and th6 apparatus cost, we were told,
upwaida of forty thousand dollars; from
which the Trustees of the Achool here, j
which has been contemplated, can learn a
lesson worthy of their attention. The
truth ia a Summer school can never sue- *
need South, nor can any College be built
here unless the Faculty and Trustees both
spend money freely To half do • thing
will disgrace th« city, and no hnn table
man will lend it any aid upon such grounds-
Thou we must have an able Faculty; then,
an appropriation, which we now warn the I
voters of Georgia against iu due season.—i
The times are critical, and we caution our
people against all appropriations to -ch-.ols
of any sort, unless theynre prosperous and
beneficial to the people. That's our hand,
and We intend to fight it out. We shall •
•peek tmm time to time of this wetter.

From the Southern Recorder.
( “ Time is money,” nays the Atlanta Ex-1
ami nor, and we fully accord in the views '
expressed by that paper, in the article we
published last week, (not credited as it
■ should have been, by the by.) That the
' South Carolina legislature sets an exam
; pie worthy of imitation to Georgia, there
i can be no doubt. Congress, too, as pre
(dieted of its short aessiou, has gone to
work, having already pawed three irnpor
| tant bills, proving “ where there is the
' will there is the way.” Then we say with
i our Atlanta cotemporary, let there be a
• reform in Georgia while the people are
working reforms elsewhere, and let them
insist upon the restoration of annual aes
sions of our State Legislature, reduce tlio
> Senate (as proposed at the last session) ■
and -iniit the time for it to sit with full |
| pay. The services of men can then be
I commanded whose “ time is money” to
them, anti who would not be willing to
' dally away the first of a new year at the
metropolis, when they should be looking
to their annual arrangements at home,
planting their crops, &e. By the estab
lishment of annual sessions, limiting them,
ior only allowing sufficient per diem to
members after the limited period to pay
expense, time would be economised, un
necessary legislation cut off, and a heavy
expense curtailed.
This expedient, under like circumstan-!
ces has, to our knowledge, been resorted ;
to in the State nf Illinois, and has, we
have been assured, worked admirably. A
handsome per diem is there allowed for
thirty or forty days, and after that, only
one dollar per day. Let Georgia imitate, j
in some degree, the example nf her youn-.
ger sister.
"TIME IS MONEY.” .
We notice that the article written and
published by us a few weeks with the
above head, is extensively copied into our
, Exchanges, and in some without credit {
being given the Examiner. In the last
Southern Recorder, for instance, we no-I
tice thia omission, and we refer to this
Journal particularly, because we feel com -1
plimented whenever its Editors select from i
our columns, and experience, also, chagrin,
when they do so without the proper ac
j knowledgement on their part.
But apart from self in the matter, the
practice of omitting to credit cotempora
rios is too common, and should be cor
rected. We hope the Georgia Press will
set the example, and aid to reform the
abuse.— Atlanta Examiner.
The compliment contained in the first ■
paragraph of the foregoing, is gratefully
appreciated whilst the views in the last
have our hearty concurrence Wo assure
our friend of the Examiner, the omission
to give him credit was an oversight, which j
holiday irregularities must palliate if not l
excuse.
Bursting of a Mountain.—Prospects
or an Active Volcano in Arkansas!—
We find the following item in the Fort
Smith Herald of the 16th inst:
We learn from a gentleman from Scott
county that a mountain, about five miles
from Waldron, has exploded three times
during the last week. The explosions
were very loud and terrific, causing the
earth around to quake, throwing up stones
and earth, and tilling the atmosphere with
clouds Jf dust and smoke. The report of
one of the explosions was heard in the vi-|
cinity of this town, a few mornings since i
a distance of forty-five or fifty miles. The
earth on the mountain has sunk to a con
siderable depth. The people in the vi
cinity are very much alarmed. These are
the facts, as far as we are able to learn,but
we hope to hear more fully and particular
ly in a few days

“We understand that John Mitchel
| has withdrawn from The Citizen, and I
from public life. Oue reason lor this step 1
iis that his eye-sight has been injuriously
affected by his labors; and another is the
conviction that the extent to which he has
been personally identified with tbo paper
j has been injurious to its influence and pros j
i parity. Ho confesses that he Las been
previously disappointed in the temper of,
the American people —finding them much
less disposed than be had imaged, to en-.
1 courage the free expression of opinion upon
all subject*. The Citizen lost about ten
thousand subscribers in consequence of I
the proclomation of his desire for an i
“Alabama plantation well stocked with I
fat negroes,”—and ©eV. ral thousand more
followed when he commenced the war I
upon Archbishop Hughes. Mr. Mitchel’s
i intention is to remain in entire obscurity
; for at least four years. He will still ©on-1

THE FOUNDER OF THE KNOW NOTHINGS.
! It is now well settled, we believe, that
, the founder of the Know Nothings is the
man who became too proud to acknowl
edge his own mother, and as she was en
tirely too vulgar a personage tv suit his
refined taste, he determined to manifest
the same spirit of paternal repudiation by
inducing, if possible, the whole jkmerican
people to “slander the dust that moulders
in their family vaults” and the races from
which they originated. A few of the
things we owe to “foreigners’’ are thus
eloquently summed up in the recent great
oration of Ikon. George Bancroft, to the
New York Historical Society, which, by
the way, is one of the ablest addresses
ever delivered any where:— Boston Pi-
I lot.
, ‘ Our land is not more the recipient of
, men of all countries than of their ideas. —
Annihilate the past of any one leading na
tion of the world, and our destiny would
have been changed. Italy and Spain, in
the persons of Columbus and Isabella,
joined together for the great discovery
that opened America to emigration and
commerce; France contributed to its inde
pendence; the-search for the origin of the
language we speak carries us to India,
our religion is from Palestine, of the
hymns sung in our churches, some were
■ first heard in Italy, some in the deserts of
Arabia, some on the banks of tne Eupbr-
; ates; our arts came from Greece, our
Jurisdiction from Bvuie, our maritime
■ code from Russia; England taught ns the
system of representative goverement; the
i noble republic of the United Provinces
I bequeathed to us, in the world of thought,
I the great idea of opinions—in the world
[ of action, the prolific principle of federal
1 union. Our country stands, therefore,
' more than any other, as the realization of
the unity of the race ”
VALUE OF* A’MANUSCRIPT.
i The original manuscript of Gray’s Ele-
Igy was lately sold at auction in London.
[ There was really a “scene” in the auction
room. Imagine a stranger entering in the
midst of a sale of some rusty-looking old
books. The auctioner produces two small
half sheets of paper, written over, torn, and
mutilated. He calls it “a most interest
ing article,” and apologizes for its condi
tion. Pickering bids £10! Rodds, Foss,
Thorpe, Bohn, Holway, and some few am
ateurs quietly remark, twelve, twenty,
twenty-five, thirty, and so on, till there is
a pause at sixty-three pounds. The ham
mer strikes.
“Hold !** says Mr. Foss.
“ It is mine,” says the amateur.
“No, 1 bid sixty-five iu time.”
“ Then I bid seventy.”
“ Seventy-five,” says Mr. Foss; and
fives are repeated again until the two bits
of paper are knocked kown, amidst a gen
eral cheer, to Payen and Foss, for one hun
dred pounds sterling'. On these bits of
[ paper are w ritten the first drafts of the
Elegy in a Country Churchyard, bv Thos.
Gray, including five verses which were
omitted in publication, and with the poet’s
Interlinear corrections and alterations—
certainly an “interesting article.” Seve
ral persons supposed it would call forth a
ten pound note, perhaps even twenty.
anecdoteTf mr. CHOATE.
The New York Evening Port, of the
19th, says:
At the trial of the salvage case of the
bark Missouri, at Boston, last week, the
case which a part of the cargo was embez
zled by the masters of the two vessels on
the coast of the Sumatra, one of the mas
ter® was examined as a witness, and dis
closed the plan of embezzleiueut and
stated the inducements that were offered
to him by the other master. He said ■
that he objected at first, and told Lis com
rade they would be found out and oonvic- i
ted, but was overborne by the assurances:
given him. Mr. Choate crow-cxainined
him strictly, and particularly as to whai
i the inducements and assurances were.—
The witness had the appearance of bold
ing back a little, but at last he said:
“AV ell, sjr, he told me that if we wen
found out, he would get Mr. Choate tode
fend us, and he would get us off if wc were
; caught with the money in our boots.” It
was not five minutes nor ten minutes that I
. it required to bring the audience back to
a sober countenance. The counsel on the i
. other side paid a tribute, in bis closing ar
gument, to the genius of Mr Choate, the
, fame of which, extending to the anti pedes !
: was relied upon as stronger than the law J
• and the evidence.

THE GUANO AT BIRO ISLAND.
The guano deposit which was recently
discovered by an American ship-master
upon Bird Island, a short distance to the
eastward cf St. Thomas, towards Barba
does, is said to be equal to at least three
or four hundred thousand tons, and in
quality it approaches that of the Chincba
Islands If the estimates of quantity and
quality are realized, the value of the Is
land, which is said to belong to the Dutch,
will be very great. The Post says of the
place that it is in shape somewhat like a
basin, with a rock-bound rim towards the
sea, and is frequented daily during a cer
tain season of the year by myriads of sea
biids, to lay their eggs:
“The egg-hunters from tbo neighboring
t islands go there with small sloops, and
I upon their arrival proceed to break all the
■j eggs that they find, and then retire. Ou
; the following day they return, and loud
■ their vessels with eggs that have
■ been laid over night. In the course of
I thirty hours they will sometimes take Up
between ldO,(X)O and 2 *O,O(:oeggs The
reason they break the eggs lying on the
ground when they arrive, is to be sujge
that they carry way none but fresh
ones.
“The quantity nf lime iu the shells of
< the eggs thn- broken, is supposed to have
J added to the value of the bird's dung,
which has been deposited there for oentu
; ries. The basin where these deposits are
’ found has only about the area of an acre.
' and will soon be exhausted of its manure;
but as an eng farm it is impossible to say
': when it will bp any less productive than
i now.’’

EPITAPH OF THOMAS JEFFERSON.

U. S. MEDITAI’cV IN EUROPE.
The AV ashington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Pennsylvanian says:
Mr. Clingman’s mediation resolutions
will pass the House, and the question is
: already asked, whom will the President
send across the Atlantic to pour oil on the
; troubled waters of Europe. Will it be a
■ commission of one, two or three? The
names of Van Buren, Tyler and Fillmore
are seriously mentioned here in connection
with the proposed peace commission. The
: ex-Presidents of the great model Repub
lic settling the Eastern question, with the
loss only of a little breath and ink ! AVhat
a spectacle for the old fogies of Europe to

inent fitness for the delicate work allotted
to them.

quarters of the country in local tank bills,
cannot be deposited in the Treasury of the
United States, was in the habit of deposit-
I ing the notes iu the banking house, of Sei-’

as required, «<. that when the Louse failed,
the Paten; Office hid some 87,000 on de-;

LATER FROM TEXAS.
The steamship Charles Morgan, Capt
Lnwl.ss, arrived this morning from Gal
veston.
The Galveston Times of the 22d says :
The steamer Neptune, we learn, struck up
on Chopper's Bar on her way up on Tues
day last. She was relieved on yesterday
morning by the San Antonio, which
brought down the Houston mail. We
have no doubt there was considerable anx
i iety felt by certain parties on board the
i Neptune, who were on their way to attend
i to matters of pressing importance.
The Times has also the following :
Major Neighbois, our Indian agent, ar
rived in Au-tin la t week frem the upper
Brazos. The Gazette says: “He reports
all the tribes as holding out friendly over
tures, that thjy were ready to be moved on
the reservation made at the last session of
our Legislature, that two of the tribeshad
i already made a settlement on the land, and
the balance now waiting to be located as
soon as the Government issued orders to
that effect. He found the condition of
■ these tribes rather apalling, as they were
| almost deprived of the means of subsis-
tance, resulting from the scarcity of
game.”
The Central Tcxian says:
We are informed by those who ought to
, know, that General Houston contemplates
I resigning his seal in the Senate at the ex
i piration «»f the present session of Con

THE PUNCTUAL MAN.
Mr. Higgins was a very punctual man
in all his transactions through life. He
; amassed a large property by untiring in
dustry and punctuality; and at the ad
vanced age of ninety years was resting
quietly upon his bed, and calmly waiting
,to be called away. He had deliberately
made almost every arrangement for his de
: cease and burial
His pulse grew fainter, and the light of
life seemed just flickering in its socket,
when one of bis sons observed—
“ Father, you will probably live but a
day qt two : is it not well for you to name
■ your pall bearers?”
“To be sure, my son,” said the dying
J man, “it is well thought of, and I will do
it now.”
Be gave a list of six, the usual num
ber, and sunk back exhausted upon his
i pillow.
■ A gleam of thought passed over his
withered face like a ray of light, and he
1 i rallied once more. •* My son, read me
that list. Is the name of Mr. Wiggins
there?”
‘i “It is, my father.”
“Then strike it off,” said he, emphati
t cally. “for he was never punctual—was
,i never anywhere in season, and he might
. hinder the procession a whole hour!”
I lfir“Mr. Brown, I owe yon a grudge;
, remember that.” “I shall not be fright
ened. then; for I never knew you to pay
any thing that you owed.”

The present critical state of European affairs
will render these publications unusually inter
esting during the forthcoming year. They will
occupy a middle ground by tween the hastily
written news-items, crude speculations, and fly
ing rumors of the daily Journal, and, the pon
derous Pome of the future historian, written af
ter the living interest and excitement of the great
i political events of the time shall have passed
away. It is to these Periodicals that readers
must look for the only really intelligible and re
liable history of current events, and as such, in
addition to their well-established literary, scien
tific, and theological character, we urge them up
on the consideration of the reading public.
