WHEW! WHEW I
We learn that some of the Ignoran
Order have threatened us with a prosecu
tion for libel. We are not apprised, that
we have perpetrated any libel upon them.
They disclaim every thing, they Know
Nothing, and we have no recollection of
ever calling them a Sensible Society or a
society of Pure Gentlemen, hence, we
conceive it would be difficult for them to
obtain a verdict. There are doubtless
some very clever men in the order, but
like all other flocks, it has some black
sheep in it, for whom these remarks are
intended.

The Hon. W. C. Dawson, Gen. Sam
Houston, Hon. 8. A. Douglas, Hon. E. W
Chastain, Hon F. L. Clingman, and the
Hon. D. A. Reese, will please accept our
thanks for valuable public documents,
which they have sent us.

, * We learn that the health of our amia
ble Representative continues so feeble,
that he will not in all probability, be able
to reach Washington this Session. His
numerous friends regret the loss of his
services, but patiently await a hope for
restoration.
Study the only source of true greatness ;
an address delivered by the Hon : W. IT.
Stiles of Savannah, before the two Litera
ry Societies of Oglethorpe University.
We have had the pleasure of perusing
this well intended and well written {address
delivered by one of Georgia's most dis
tinguished sons on the occasion of the com
mencement of Oglethoq e University.—
We are ghid indeed that Mr. Stiles made
thia important fuct the theme of his dis
course. The youth of the country are
too much disposed to rely upon their sup
posed natural talents, for the gratification
of their ambitious aspirations instead of
relying upon steady and unremitting lab >r.
lhe address while it is of a very practical
character yet abounds in happy classical
illustrations of his positions, and in must
eloquent passages.

From the West Indies.—- From the

MISTAKE OF YOUNG MEN.
It is a great mistake into which many '
American youths fall Jthat manual labor is
not honorable. To be a merchant, a law-
■ yer. a doctor, an engineer, a military or
naw officer, or ship master, is, in theii
esteem, much more honorable than it is to
I be a mechanic or farmer. It cannot be
denied that all these other occupations re-
j quire exertion. The doctor is often quite 1
i as weary when his day’s work is done, as ,
| the farmer or blacksmith can be, but he is j
j not half so sure of a quiet night's sleep as
, they are, and we all know to what hard-1
ships engineers are exposed, as well as
persons who follow the seas.
We often see vigorous young men seek- I
ing places as clerks in stores. They all
j hope, and generally expect, some favora- ,
ble tide in the affairs of the life, which
‘will lead them on to a fortune.’ Other I
, men have accumulated vast sums in buy-
■ ing and selling goods, why not I? is the [
1 language they nse. They rarely consider
I that but a very small number of those
who embark, ever complete their voyage. J
• Where 6fty succeed, perhaps a hundred
.; fail - '
But, an industrious, thrifty farmer sel
> dom fails to secure for himself and family,
'; the comforts of life. The skillful and
i 1 practical mechanic, too, is generally sure
/ of a remuneration for his labor, and with j
a common prudence he can provide a |
competence for the future. That a priu- 1
cely fortune can be heaped up by the
. plow, the jack-plane, or the sledge, we do
not say; nor is it pretended that men are
as likely to acquire fame on a farm, as at
the bar.
But the history of the world will show,
that the men who have done most for the
welfare of the race, and whose memories
’ are cherished with the most respect, came
from the hard working ranks. Princely
fortunes are more easily wasted than won
while the moderate possessions of the farm
er or mechanic supply all the comforts of
life, they are attended with few ternpta- >
, tionsto luxury, or extravagance, and still
fewer risks from the folly or fraud of
| others.
i! There can be no doubt that agricultur
(l al employments are the most natural to 1
! mau, and there is no country onthe globe
in which the facilities for pursuing these
1 employments are so great as in the United
1 States, requiring but a very small outlay
; of money, to obtain a respectable farm to
begin with. A good knowledge of the
methods of husbandry can be easily ac
quired. The implements of labor are as
good and cheap as can be found, the
■ world over. The title of land is well se
ll cured, the large monopolies,such as some
i of the countries of the old world are bur
' thened with, can never exist. Vt hat
' I greater could be asked by
■ one who only desires to live comfortably
•! and independently? The farmer, that
II honest goodly funner, is one of the most
independent men in the world. He has
‘' the promise of the great Creator that seed
time and harvest shall not Fail. He may
i i always plow in hope, and reap with joy.
f' To till the earth, then, is really an hon
orble culling.
■ | But it doe’s not require that a man
[ should be enslaved to the plow, nor that
' he should make companions of his sheep
i and ox. The shrewdest and most intelli
gent men, who sit on our juries, and help
make our laws, come from their farm and
return to them as soon aa their duties
terminate. The good souse, sobriety,
i contentment, industry, and love of order,
which characterize our American farmers,
J are under God, among the most important
safe guards of public peace and prosper
ity. . ■
SO THEY GO. .
The Know Nothings, basing elected one
Gardner to the Ex ecu trie chair of Massa
chusetts, his tirst message was looked for
with very considerable interest. Lt was to
sugar plum for the South I it was to

the laws of hia country.
V»ell, the message has come, aud it is
not a sugar-plum,after ail. This conser
vative Governor Gardner has said exactly
what we have always perdicted. He has
taken strong ground uyain*t the Nebraska
bill, com plains of the of dut'trj/

Feminine Limbs of the Law.—A
Philadelphia paper says: “ Mrs. Ernmaß
Coe, who was a distinguished participant
in the late Woman s Rights Convention
i held in this city, was yesterday morning
registered as a student ut law in the office
of the District Court. She contemplates
pursuing her studies in the office of Wm.
S. lherce, Esq. Our masculine knights
of the brief are rather startled by this bold
innovation.”

AN ENTERPRISING MAN.
Don't spare Printer s ink! That is
Barnum’s advice to the business communi
ty, and he himself furnishes a striking il
lustration of its efficiency. What a won
derful agency it is! what notoriety it can
confer, what stately edifices it can build,
what splendid fortunes it can secure. —
Don't spare the printer's ink ! With how
much pro] riety might many of our Amer
ican millionaires, who are ambitious for a
crest and a cypher, select a printing press
for their coat of arms, and don't spare the
printer s ink, for their motto
Look at Moffat, and Brandreth, and
Swai ne, and Barnum, and countless oth
ers in our great cities —inhabiting the
costliest dwellings, keeping the most splen- [
did equipages, enjoying the most ample I
incomes, and having names, withal, which
are as well known throughout the country
as our greatest soldiers and statemen,and
all because they reduced Barnum’s prin- j
ciple to practice, and never spared prin
ter'* ink !
Undoubtedly the United States are re
markable, beyond any other nation, for the
extent to which this business of advertis
ing is carried, but in looking over the list.
of great advertisers throughout the world, i
wc suspect that the palm must be awarded '
to Holloway of London. He out-Mofi'ats i
Moffat, and out-Brandeths Brandeth. Ele 1
not only advertises in England but through- j
out Christendom. His “ box of Ointment” j
figures in the little prints of New Zealand, j
and in the columns of that Thunderer,l
the London Times. His “pills” make
the’circuit of the world, and become ac-;
quamted with the interior life of almost'
every nation. They are swallowed by I
Protestants, and Catholics, and Bhuddists;
they are known alike in Europe and in
Asia; they are taken before breakfast by ‘
the peevish valetudinarians of London, j
and by the sick Bushmen of the Cape; |
in short, they are advertised in almost
' every country where the printing press is,
known.
Some notion of his advertising business 1
may be formed, when our readers are told <
1 that Holloway’s News Room in London is
I the best in the world, and that it consists'
solely of those newspapers in which he
1 heralds his medicines to the public. Be-|
i sides publishing in nearly every paper in
' Great Britain, Holloway publishes in over
I 2000 foreign Journals, and the traveller
in London has only to step into his Muse-
I uin, to receive intelligence from every
quarter of the Globe—from New York,!
j from Georgia, from New Zealand, from
! China, from Australia, and. so far as the ,
j United States are concerned, from almost
; every little village in the country. A man
that is a subscriber to nearly 3000 papers,
who advertises in them all, and who pays
all Ins Lilis without grumbling or evasion,
should be held up for a sign in Israel,
and accordingly we have taken pleasure '
• in thus noticing his achievements.-.1/hcoa I

’ A Sad Mistake. —Two years ago, a i
J --- — c 7 ,
1 young Englishman was arrested in Boston
• for passing counterfeit money, tried in
Boston for passing counterfeit money tried
I convicted, and sentenced the State prison.*
The money which lie passed was a five
dollar bill on the Wenthem Bank, which
I was taken by the person receiving it to
the Suffolk pronounced it counterfeit and
wrote ‘ counterfeit” across the face of it.
On the trial the mark of the teller was
called to prove the bill genuine, and the
teller’s stamp went for evidence. About
a month ago, the bill, which had been safe
ly kept in the District Attorney’s office,
by accident fell into the hands of the fir
tner cashier of the bank, when pronounced
it genuine. Whereupon the young En
glishman was set at liberty after a con
finement in the State prison of nearly two
years The question now is, who ought
to pay the damages, the State or th<« Suf
folk Bank ?

Backing Out. — V letter from London
to the New York Tribune says tbatTall the
gallant officers. who at the Alma and st
Balaklava rushed into death with readi
ness, are now seeking a pretext for their
return to the comforts of England. They
wish to sell their commissions, ur to retire
on half pay, because they cannot live in
j rags. upon half relations. unprotected
; against the drenching ruin in the mud of
the camp, it is trm that they believe alp
those intolerable hardships might Lave
: lieen obviated by more capacity in the
| CommanJer-in-Uhief. and more mdei* in
his staff’. Thiy have lust their confidence
| in tiie success of the operations, and feel
I that their health and their lives are sacri-
• ficed to the imbecility of septuagenarian
I Genends. Still, the nation will charge
them with eowardwe of deserting the post
; of danger.”
Distressing Octi hence. —A most uc--
treßfcing affair occurred at Cincinnati on
Saturday night in froiu of the National
Theatre. A young man named Jennings
bad circulated reports unfavorable to the
c! aracter of a young lady recently mar
i ried to H, 11. Ormesbee. clerk in the Na
tional Telegraph office*. The latter called
Jennings out of the theatre and asked him
if he had reported as alleged. The latter
replied affirmatively, when Ormsbee drew
a pistol and shot Jennings in the face,
mutilating it in a terrible manner and
rendering his recovery very doubtful.—
Ormsbee was admitted to bail this morn-)
ing.
The Tribune states that in the sixth
ward of New York alone six thousand per
sons were fed by charity on Friday last,
aud on Saturday the number was equally
j large. At the doors of Liu den mullers,
| Stewarts, and at the Five Points Mission,'
! where so«p is distributed, the p dice
1 have to be in constant attendance to keep
) order. The Tribune further says that no
! Americans are among those applying for
this kind of charity.
KNOW-NOTHING—ABOLITION MESSAGE.
The following talegraphic summary of
the Message of Gov. Pollock, of Pennsyl
vania, is another evidence of the two great
Isms of the day in the State. The dis-,
patch dated Harrisburg, Jan. IGth, says : i
Governor Pollock was inducted into of
fice to day. In his inaugural message he •
asserts that' civil and religious liberty and j
the freedom of religious worship are birth-j
rights of Americans, which no Pontificial;
verdict can destroy.
He objects to the charter of new Banks
but will re-charter old Banks that are
sound and den anded by the wants of the '
community in which they are located. —
He favors the sale of the public works.
He is decided in his temperance views, i
■ and says it becomes the duty of the Legis-I
lature to consider what legislation is ne-
cessary to correct the evils of intemper-;
ance. With regard to the pardoning pow
I er he assumes that it should be exercised
with great caution, and that notice should
be published where trials and convictions
of intended applications for Executive
clemency.
Governor Pollock regards the repeal of,
the Missouri compromise as a violation of
the plighted faith and honor of the nation
i and says that it has been signally rebuked
, by the people.
i He advocates the improvement of rivers
i and harbors—a judicious Homestead bill,
I - -the reformation of the Naturalization
laws, and the passage of such laws as will j
' prevent the introduction of foreign paupers '
and convicts into this country.
THE LEAGUE AGAINST THE NATION I
Napoleon HI., in his speech to the.
Chambers, congratulates the world in re
i gard to the Anglo-Gallic alliance, with
I the assurance “that the same anxieties
; and the same hopes agitate the tw T o couu- <
I tries, that the same views and the same
intentions animate the two Governments
j in every corner of the world.’’
The Morning Chronicle’s Paris corres- J
i pondent suggests that “ the phrase is in
I tended as a hint to our brothers on the i
, otherside of tl e Atlantic that their mo- 1
' tious are watched on this.” The words
j (says the Albany Atlas) are the mere echo
iof those of Lord Clarendon, uttered in
the beginning of the war. They are in
tended to convey a threat, but who fears ,
lit ? They should postpone their menaces •
jat us till they get rid of their engage- ;
ments with the foe in the Crimea.
A Patriotic Widower. —The patri-i
otic fund now gathering in England calls
out many eccentricities and one of them is
an advertisement in the Oxford Chronicle
which is as follows: j
“ A widower, of good character, with
five children, oilers to marry the widow of
any soldier slain at Alma. For particu
lars apply to Mr. Higgs, draper and tailor i
i South Stoke, Oxford. The above offer is
to be considered the contribution to the
patriotic fund of the widows,”
j Red Eye.—The Richmond Dispatch
says that this celebrated race horse, one
' of Boston’s favorite sons, while on the turf
run forty-three races; and won thirty
• three of them. In all his four mile races
he was never beaten. While on the turf j
he ran two hundred and sixty-iive miles,
end won two hundred and twenty-three of i
’ them.
■ The explosian of a mountain recently
in Arkansas, having attrected much at
tention, a correspondent of the Fort Smith
' Herald, says that about a year ago, he in
| vertigated a similar explosion in Franklin
1 county, Arkansas, and found that it had

by the decomposition and spontaneous
combustion cf sulphuret of iron, which 1
abunds in that region.

with “the golden chains of Godliness; besides
flowers grown in the genial South; finely tinted
corollas plucked from the trailing vines of thought
in the cold North, will bloom on its pages.
