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 or two from which we may find it necessary, ere long to “ spin a yarn ” and weave a web of unique character. The question 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 ! Sheriffalty.—* — Adolphus S. Rutherford is proposed in the last “ Enquirer ” as the Whig 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. (K 7“ Tho Brazilians consider plumpness an essential point of female beauty; and the greatest compliment that can he paid to a Bra zillian lady, is to tell her that she grows fatter and fatter every day. 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 to rat traps.
