Dr. Boynton’s Lectures. —This gentleman has
delivered several Lectures in this city on Electricity,
Magnetism and Electro-Magnetism, illustrated by ma
ny brilliant experiments with the splendid apparatus
which he has with him. On Monday evening hip sub
ject was the Electricity and Magnetism of the Earth,
which was treated in a manner at once novel, highly
instructive and deeply interesting. The revolution
of the earth around the sun and upon its own nxis,
was shown by conclusive reasoning, supported by
beautiful experiments, to be occasioned by the influ
ence of Electro-Magnetism! The Magnetic Tele
graph (one of Morse’s) was explained and its working ;
practically exhibited. Colt’s sub-marine Battery, by
which a vessel at a distance of miles could be instant
ly blown to atoms, was clearly illustrated. There
were also other important principles of natural sci
ence most lucidly portrayed by striking
such as suspending a piece of iron perpendicularly in
air, by the aid of Magnetic-Electricity and causing
the same to revolve on its own axis, while so sus
pended, &c. From what we had seen and heard, we
were in hopes that Dr. Boynton would have, at least
finished his usual course, which he has almost inva
riably been called on to repeat, in other cities. But,
(and we blush, in very shame, to record a fact so dis
creditable to the literary and scientific taste of this
community) he has not met with that encouragement
to which he was entitled, and has left the place with
his course but half finished! His audiences have
been exceedingly limited in size. Instead of the
crowds that waited, elsewhere, with enthusiastic ad- j
miration, upon the ministrations of this eloquent \
“ high priest of the temple of nature,” he had here j
only a “ mean and beggarly account of empty boxes,” j
(comparatively speaking.) before which to display the
rich treasures of science he had prepared for the pub
lic mind ! We expected that the schools and acade
mies of the place would have been turned out, en
masse, by their conductors, to witness these extraor
dinary illustrations of Scientific truth, and that the
citizens, generally, especially the professional classes,
would have given their countenance to the accom
plished Lecturer, who came among us with creden
tials as full and flattering as were ever laid at the feet
of any professor. But we have been disappointed.—
Nothing, it would seem, has any considerable attrac
tion for our people, save the buffoonery of a Circus
Clown, ora menegarie of live monkeys, catamounts
&.C. If the Lecturer could have shown the citizens
how to make two bales of cotton out of one, he might,
probably, have interested a certain class whose devo
tions to the “ Almighty Dollar ” are so proverbial, but
even his experiments with gun cotton have failed to
attract their attention ! We grieve to speak thus harsh
ly, when we had hoped, “ almost against hope ” how
ever, that a better state of feeling and a greater love
for useful truth could be found amongst us than have
been manifested, in the present instance. And espe
cially do we regret that so many of our citizens, young
and old, have lost by their indifference, such a rich in
tellectual treat as that which Dr. B. was able to offer
for their acceptance. Their loss is greater than his,
for while his purse may be less heavy than it ought
to have been, they have failed to receive those lessons
of wisdom which are very rarely offered to their no
tice, and what is worse, have we fear, discouraged all j
future exhibitions of like character. For the honor!
and credit of our town, we do hope that so profound j
an apathy, as that which now exists, in respect to.
these matters, will soon give place to an enlightened j
zeal in advancement of those great truths of Natura] !
I'hilosopliy, a contemplation of which is so well ealeu- j
laied to purify and ennoble t ie mind, and elevate the I
thoughts and affections of the heart.
Dishonor able. —We learn that through the inter
ference of some persons at Lumpkin, who call them
selves gentlemen, some twenty-three Volunteers from
Randolph county, whom Capt Barber was bringing
up to this place to join the “ Muscogee Blues,” were
enticed away from their plighted engagements to Mr.
B. with the view of tilling up the company of Capt.
Gaulding of Stewart. The men had marched 24 miles
and had stopped to camp for the night, two miles
north of Lumpkin, when they were visited, at mid
night,by these emissaries ofGanlding.froin that village
and seduced off, by a system cf bribery and misrep
resentation which was as disgraceful as it was mean. |
Capt. G. was not present, himself, but it is believed,
from some circumstances, that he was cognizant of
what took place, and sanctioned the whole proceed
ing. If he lias recoivtd the men into his company, it
will be proof positive of his participation in the dis
honorable proceeding. We hope, however, that he
has too nice a sense of honor to be guilty of such a
transaction.
Georgia Jeffersonian. —This papor, under
the vigorous management of Maj. Cline, has re
cently shed its old skin and put on anew and
beautiful dress. We are glad to notice such ev
idences of prosperity in this faithful republican
journal, and hope that the Major will continue to
“go ahead” at the same tune lately played by
him, of “63 new subscribers per month.”
Atlanta Luminary. This journal lias
dotted its neutrality and put on the robes of de- |
inocracy ! That city has now three papers— j
two Democratic and one Whig ! Is there any :
room, friends, for another establishment up there ,
in the woods ! If so, please give us due notice, j
so that when we determine to move, we may !
have a chance to make a fortune, at your pros- j
porous location !
Steamboat Race. —On the Ist inst. the steam
ers “ C. Vanderbilt ” and “ Oregon,” had a race
up the North river from New York city to Sing- j
Sing and back—a distance of 72 miles. The |
“ Oregon ” won the race by about half a mile, at j
.a speed of 24 miles the hour. The amount stak- ;
ed was §IOOO, but it is said that SIOO,OOO chang
ed hands on the occasion.
Bio Lies.— The Louisville (Ky.) ‘Democrat’
.quotes a paragraph or two from Prentice of the
Louisville ‘ Journal,’ and advises his readers to
preserve the same, for (says lie) “if ever a pre
mium is offered for the greatest lie that ever was
told, cither of these specimens will take it.” He
also thinks that if “ old Nick don’t acknowledge
himself fairly outdone now, he will not do an act
of justice.” Quite complimentary’ that!
Ocean .Steamers.— The newand magnificent
steamer Washington—the first American Ocean
Steamer—left New York oil the Ist inst. for Eu
rope, with 120 passengers and a mail of 10,000
letters, and papers innumerable. She is expected
to cross the Atlantic in 10 days or less!
Emigrants. —ln the space of five mouths up i
to tho Ist of June, over 60,000 emigrants, or “ im- j
migrants ” as the fashionable phrase now is, ar- j
rived at New York, over 50,000 of whom arrived
since April Ist. Over 1100 of these have died
on shipboard or at the hospital since their arrival!
Resignation. —Dr. Rob't. Hare , for 30 years
Professor of Chemistry in the University of
Pennsylvania, has resigned his station. Dr. H.
was the inventor of the “ Compound Blow Pipe,”
and has made other valuable contributions to his !
favorite science, >
IliEßAßcii^^^^HrofisM. —We have a dot

for discussion, will involve the moral right of an
ecclesiastical tribunal to bring its whole power
to bear, for the purpose of destroying the credit
bility of an humble member of the church, who
may have aught to disclose against one high in
authority!
Talbotton Postmaster. —This official is too
officious by half. If a subscriber to this paper re
fuses or neglects to take out his copy, it is proper
that we should be informed of the fact, but we do
not care to be told that so respectable a man as
E. G. docs not pay his postage !

candidate for the Sheriffalty of Muscogee county',
at the next election in January.
Sharp Shooting. —Several of our cotempo
raries aro becoming quite piquant in their edito.
rials, of late, as will be discovered from the fol
lowing “ passages at arms ” between a brace or
two of them :
The Columbus Times, in commenting upon the
nomination by the Savannah Republican of Tay
lor for President and Clinch for Governor, thus
discharges its blunderbuss:
“ Here is “ war, pestilence and famine” of Whig
origin with a vengeance ! Cannot Scott and Worth
Capt. Walker and Charley May, be roped in to advan
tage, somewhere 1 There a“a little more grape
Capt Bragg !” what a “ cry ” that would make for
a canvass, eh ! Old Twiggs, too, who says little, but
is always on hand when fighting is to be done, could
not the whigs do something with him ‘? A door-keep
er of the House ofttepresentatives, or private Secre
tary to Gor. Clinch ? Think of it, Messrs. Editors,
you have not half exausted the politico-military box
yet.”
To this, which the Republican calls the “ hyste
rical merriment of the Times,” the Messenger
*s* Journal of Macon, thus responds :
“ The editor of the Columbus Times seems to be
perfectly horrified at the idea that the Whigs of Geor
gia should run up the Taylor and Clincli flags, and is
anxious to know whether some of the small-fry heroes
cannot get the position of door-keeper to the House
of Representatives, or of private Secretary to Gov.
Clinch. We would simply inform our cotemporary
that he has not the slightest chance for promotion to
either office. When either Taylor or Clinch confer
office upon men who have been in the service, they
will give it to those who hare served out their time.”
Again, the Savannah Republican says to the
Athens ‘ Banner,’ “ as Dr. Johnson says, we can
furnish arguments to our opponents, but cannot
furnish them with the ability to understand them.”
To which he of the Banner responds : “ Will he
pardon us while we apply to him , the saying of
another Doctor. Dr. Blackstone desired Lord
in the house of Commons, “instead of sha
king liis head only, to shake one argument from
it.”
Maj. G en. Pillow. —The surviving officers
of the 2d Tennessee Regiment, who were so
hotly engaged at the battle of Cerro Gordo, have
come out in a long “statement ” of the part borne
in that engagement Ly Gen. Pillow, and have
shown beyond a doubt, that the said General has
fie Fir strtißTifglikc in?jackdaw in borrowed plu
mage. Instead of leading his columns, he “ nei
ther led nor followed.” Instead of being disa
bled by an almost fatal wound, he received only
a slight scratch ! In short, that he was an ignor
ant and incompetent officer, and a vain and pu
sillanimous “ hero of buckram ” ! We all along
suspected as much. No man with such a soft
name could possibly be much of a “ fire-eater.”
Santa Anna’s Pass. —We hope that our de
mocratic friends will not attempt to defend the
policy of letting Santa Anna through the block
ade, into Mexico. It will he a more difficult task
than the fabled labors of Sysiphas, say nothing
of the rolling hack of the stone upon the heads
of those who vainly try to place it oil the top of
the hill.
A Nuisance. —Wonder what Messrs. Iverson
&. Sutton arc paid, for eternally digging up old
pine logs, at and near the corner of Broad and
Randolph streets! It has become an intolerable
nuisance to the merchants and others in that vi
cinity.
Muoogee Wiiigs. —Hon. G. E. Thomas,
S. IT. Flournoy and A. G. Foster, Esqs., have
been appointed Delegates to the Whig Conven
tion of the Ist July, for the nomination of a can
didate for .Governor.
New Use of Ether. —Ether has been lately
administered to horses with great success. A
correspondent of the Lowell Courier says that he
administered it to one that from some cause
would keep up such an incessant violent kicking,
biting and squealing, that it was not only trouble,
some but dangerous to shoe her. He applied
the other to her nostrils, and she was as quiet
and harmless as a sheep, and was shod with
perfect ease and safety.
The Ilavanna correspondent of the “Schnell
post ” says that a United States ship, with troops
for Mexico, came into that port, and reported its
cargo aj the Custom House as “ four hundred he
roes.” “I/ucliily,” adds the writer, “these wares
were in transitu, and not designed for our con
sumption.”
The Patent Office. —The correspondent of
the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser says, that there
is a rumor in Washington that some unfair trans
actions have taken place at the Patent Office, by
which patentees have been deprived of the ad
vantages belonging to them and intended to he
secured for them through this institution. A cer
tain room in the Office is assigned for the cave
ats, and the public are not admitted into it. It is
now alleged that certain persons have obtained
access to these papers, and have brought out the
principles of new inventions in Europe, thus de
priving our patentees of the just fruits of their
genius and labor. The matter certainly requires
investigation.

OC7~ It is said there aro men in London who
possess the art of enticing rats from their holes
and constraining them, in broad day, to enter in
