temptation upon a topic of such vast public im portance—a topic, by the way, which, the more it is investigated, in the spirit of honest inquiry, the more will the hearts of the people be inclined to a merciful aspect thereof, alike honorable to humanity and consistent with reason. House of Refuge. —The City Council and County Authorities have under consideration, the establishment of a poor-house farm, for the bene fit of the paupers of Muscogee. It is a good project which we hope to see carried out success fully, and in addition, we would suggest, that at the same time and place, a House of Refuge be j instituted for the benefit of the many idle and vi- ’ cious boys which are to be found in this place 1 and vicinity. If parents and guardians cannot or will not keep their juvenile offspring, of from Bin 18 years of age, out of the streets, where they are training up in the Jones Butler school of morality, smoking segars, cursing and blas pheming, drinking liquor and fighting—it is the duty of the city and county authorities to take care of them and prevent them from graduating in the school of vice. A place should be provi ded where such juveniles can be taught to work, and where a good education, in morals and sci ence, can be imparted to them. On the score of expense, there would be economy in'an institution ; like this, for it will cost the county less to reform a score of idle and vagabond boys than to hunt down, convict and hang half that number of full grown thievish and murderous men ! \ Horse Stealing. —A man by the name of Stephen Johnson was arrested last week, at his \ home, on or about the line between the counties ‘ of Coweta and Meriwether, on the charge of stealing a horse, on the Tuesday previous, from Mr. James Mann, of this county. Johnson was brought down and committed to prison to await his trial for the offence, which it is said he has fully confessed. He is a brother of Win, John son, who was killed last winter in Wynnton. Gen. Taylor and tiie Wilmot Proviso.— 1 No sane man can believe, for a moment, that ’ Gen. Taylor, in his letter to the Cincinnati ‘ Sig-! nal, wherein he assents to certain sentiments advanced by the editor of that print, meant to! give his sanction to the odious ‘ Wilmot Proviso.’ I his is, we think, an unwarrantable inference. Gen. Taylor probably designed to give bis assent only to the prominent idea set forth by the ‘Sig. nal’ in respect to the ‘no-party’ candidate, and he may have even gone so far as to admit that as a general thing, the President should not veto a measure which has passed through Congress by a decided majority. But that he, if President, would not veto a 4 Wilmot Proviso ’ Bill, is more than we can credit. Being himself n Southerner and slave-holder, it would indeed be marvellous if he should hold sentiments that affiliate so closely to those of the rabid abolitionists of the North, or should allow of so great an injustice as i the‘Wilmot Provisb ’ proposes, to be inflicted upon the South, when be held in his hand the magic power which could arrest the evil medita ted 1 It is an ‘ error of the moon ’to suppose him capable, of such an absurdity—but if other wise, he is not the man that can ever be Presi dent of these United States. To remove all ; cavil, therefore, would it not be well (br Gen. | Taylor to explain his views on this point ? Tho’; he might not answer every individual querist, j he would feel bound to respond to the inquiry of] a respectable body of his fellow-citizens. Let 1 the Whig Executive Committee of the Georgia Convention that nominated Old £ach, then, ad- dress him a letter on the subject, so that the j question of bis availability as a candidate of the ‘ people, and especially of the Southern people,; may be settled in due season. Ilis answer, if: received before the ensuing election, need not j be given to the public until afterwards, to pre-! vent any advantage or disadvantage to either party, in this State, from any avowal which the General may make on the particular point to j which we have referred. “Komstoks Fonetik Magazix.” —No. 12, • Vol. I, of this unique monthly, has reached us. ! A second volume is proposed to bo commenced j next month. In a poetical address, Dr. K. soli cits a renewal of subscriptions from h : s patrons, ! after the following manner : “ Still aid our cause and yon shall gain The fruits of all our powers— The labors of our sleepless nights, And active daylight hours. If you support the lingual shrine So aptly called the I’honeon, Where you behold with Grecian types Commingled the Ausonian, We’ll on its altar write your names, To tell to all posterity, What families contributed To Phonic truth’s prosperity! Then re-subscribe and rc-remit, And we witl do our duty — Will build the temple of our speech In classic taste and beauty.” The Magazine is published by A. Comstock, M. D., Philadelphia, at $1 per annum, in ad vance. Its design is to reform the Alphabet of the English Language, so that every’ word will be spelled exactly as it is pronounced, or sound ed—as is the title above. Exorbitant. —The Magnetic Telegraph Cos. may go to grass, for aught we care, if they per sist in the exorbitant charges which they seem to have established, for the transmission of intel ligence. From an advertisement in the Wash ington ‘ Union,’ over the name of Amos Kendall, we find that the charge upon a message not ex ceeding ten words, exclusive of signature and ad dress, from Richmond, Va. to Boston, is set down at 91.30! and at the same rates for any number of words less than 100. Over that number, Jds of the above charge will be exacted. Now it is preposterous to suppose that the Magnetic Tele graph will ever become of general usefulness, at such prices as these. Few men, and least of all, Editors, can afford to pay a tithe of tho enor mous expense which tho Company seek to im pose upon the public. Editorial Convention. —A primary Con ventlon of the Editorial crafl is to be held at the Stone Mountain, in DeKalb county, on the 11th inst. At that time and place there will be a meeting of the 1 Southern Central Agricultural Association,’ and a large assemblage is antici pated. Neither Hawk nor Bvzzard! — We heard a gentleman remark, that he wanted a man to be one thing or another—a full-blooded Whig or the opposite. This division of political senti ments into equal moieties, so nicely balanced that neither party can encroach a hair’s breadth upon the platform occupied by the other, may be a plausible theory, but it will be found as im practicable in practice as to divide the human family into two great classes, and make the members of each look like to one another, but very dissimilar to those of its opposite division ! Look, for instance, at the conflicting opinions among both Whigs and Democrats of the United States, concerning the doctrines of Free Trade, Internal Improvements, Abolition, and divekj other important questions. Northern Whigs are! arrayed ngainst Southern Whigs, and Eastern I Democrats against Western. In fact, the divWl sity of individual opinion on political subject^'is almost as great, in each party, as that which ex ists in the lineaments of the human face. There is in the latter case a general resemblance, but by no means a perfect agreement or likeness of form and feature. So of politics. In principle, | radically.-and thoroughly, we are democratic. Equal laws, equal privileges, and equal burdens, constitute the sum and substance of our political republican Faith. But it does not follow that we should, therefore, at one and the same time be a Democrat in both the Northern and South ern phaze of its phisiognomy, or that we should advocate every measure which may be attempted to be palmed off upon us as democratic. We prefer to adhere to the ancient landmarks and to primitive principles, even although we may hap pen occasionally to fall out with our professed friends, and be found standing, shoulder to shoul der, with those who are of the contrary party in general respects. In other words, we prefer to be independent in thought, word, and deed—to be subservient to no party dictation. We shalb in fine, place ourselves on no Procrustean iron bed of politics, to be stretched if too short, or cut off if too long. With such views, it may easily be discovered that we care not to be classed, in variably, with either the ‘hawk’ or‘buzzard’ species of the genus politician. Others, howev- i er, have full liberty to join either, as may suit their own peculiar views. ‘De gustibus non cst disptilandum ,’ or, ‘every one to his taste,’ as the girl said, when she kissed the monkey. Office.— One of the Browns—rivals for the governorship in Tennesse—the one who holds the office, tells the following story, which is as i appropriate to office-holding elsewhere as to j Tennessee. “ There was once a starling who had been long confined in a cage. He was well fed and j very well contented with his fate. Another poor starling came along, and noticed con dition and good fording of the one in the cage, and was continually flapping the cage with his wings, and Baying —for starlings can talk some times—“l want to get in, I want to get in;” while the inhabitant of the cage would ruffle up and reply : “No room for two, I want to stay in myself.” The above is a pretty fair exemplification of the governing motives of most politicians. Paity politics arc more generally squabbles between the “ ins and outs,” for the spoils of office, than for the. supremacy of honestly conceived princi ples. There is not room enough for all political “ starlings,” and hence the endless jowering j about who shall get into the gilded cage ami I who shall stay out. United States Rf.forter. —Dr. Houston, the celebrated stenographer, proposes to com mence at Washington City, next December, a j new paily paper of this title, to be devoted to a report of Congressional debates, Ate. Late from Europe. —The American steam ship Washington arrived at New York on Fri day last, after a passage of 14 days and a few hours, from Southampton. There is no news of any importance, save a slight decline in Cotton, and a rise in Breadstuff's. The week ending July 9, closed with a decline in Cotton of Jd. per lb- July 14, the market was very steady, and sales 10,000 bales. Prices on the 13th—New Or leans 6J to Bd. Bowed Georgia 6f to 7j. A Bereaved and Afflicted Family. — There is now in this city a poor family, consist ing of an aged widow, two or three daughters, and several grand-children, who have experi enced, lately, a series of afflictive dispensations, as remarkable, almost, as those which fell to the lot of the ‘man of Uz, whose name was Job.’ A few months since, the aged people (husband and wife,) with one or two daughters, removed to the city. Not long after, a son-in-law brought his family to town from the country, and left wife and children at the residence of the wife’s pa rents, until he could return whence he came and remove his moveable possessions to the city, with a view to settle here. He left for that pur pose, and has not since been heard of by his de serted family ! To add to the wretchedness of his wife, one of his children, in the meantime, sickened and died ! A sister of his wife married a man, after a short acquaintance, hut it was not long before some person met the husband, at or near the dwelling of the family, and abruptly asked him whether he had brought his wife with j him ! It thus leaked out that the new son-in : i law had a wife living elsewhere ! Subsequently ; the old man was taken ill, and a few’ weeks ago i was buried 1 The daughter, whose husband so strangely left her, has taken the matter to heart • so much, that she has nearly lost the sight of one 1 of her eyes from excessive weeping. And to : add to the bitterness of the cup of affliction which | this poor family has been called, within a few j weeks, to drink to the dregs, the old lady is in feeble health, and is very poor, indeed 1 Never theless, she murmurs not at the ways of Provi dence, but finds consolation in the Christian's faith, which it is her happiness to enjoy. These, we are assured, are facts; and as such we pre sent them to the consideration of tho benevolent ladies and others of the city, with the intent that a case which ought to enlist general sympathy and aid, may receive that attention which it mer its. Os the good reputation of every member of this family we are also woll assured. The old lady is a member of a Protestant Church and is esteemed a worthy and pious lady. Any further information, as to name, &e. will be given, on app'lcation at this office. MS©®®!! Alabama Newspapers.—For a few weeks past, the political journals of our sister State have been a perfect bore. It was enough to make a decent man forever eschew politics, to see the way in which the thing was ‘ run into the ground,’ across the border. Thank heaven, the election is over, and we shall have some respite frofti the ding-dong denunciations and recriminations of the editors. We don’t mean, however, to let them off without full payment, in the like coin, j The Georgia election will come on some 8 weeks ‘ hence, and we shall therefore have plenty of time to give the Alabamians as much of ‘ Clinch and Towns ’ as they have given us of 1 Chapman and Davis.’ If we are not even with you, gents, it j shall not be for the want of trying! |\’ Wanton Mischief.—On Tuesday night last, fsbme of (he ‘skylarking’ gentry, who infest this | unshipped two yard-gates from the prerni j ses of Mr. Ligon, Crawford st., and made way ; with them. Though the galc-s have since been found, no clue has yet been discovered as to the i persons guilty of this mischief, but it would not be difficult te give a shrewd guess who were the parties concerned in the outrage. On the same night, two squads of serenaders passed out said street, by the light of the moon, towards the east commons, having been disgorged from the rum shops down town, In just that sort of 1 devil-may care’feeling of drunken jollification, as to be ready for any 1 bit of fun ’ which might be jumped up in their path! Lest some of the patriotic volunteers now encamped in the vicinity, might be suspected of committing such trespasses upon the property of peaceable citizens as that noticed, would it not be advisable for the officers in com mand to prevent their men leaving camp after 9 o’clock, p. in. ? We make the suggestion with the best of motives, and with a view to pre vent blame being unjustly attached to innocent persons. As it now is, the volunteers, whether guilty or not, will be chargeable with the excess es committed by others, solely because of the unrestrained frbejty of perambulation which seems to have beeri fallowed them, at all hours of the day and night. South—Western Rail-Road An adjourned meeting of this body took place at Americus last week. It was agreed that sub scriptions should be taken up for the two routes proposed, to test the ability of each section to advance the work. Mr. Cuyler was present and pledged 9250,000 fiQin the Central R. R. iCom t pany, if a corresponding effort was made by the J planters of South-JVuslevn Georgia. Assurances | were also given that Macon would aid the pro ject to the extent of $150,000. Mr. Cuyler’s I plan of route is as follows : “ From Macon via Fort Valley and TravpJ--li— some ■conve nient crossing place on the Flint River—thence in a Western direction, to some point distant 40 or 50 miles from Columbus, and thence in a line nearly cqui-distant between the two rivers.” This route, it is thought, would accom modate all interests. Something Wrong. A correspondent of the Savannah ‘Republican,’ writing from Dalton, Ga., says that of some 10,000 bushels of Corn lying there for shipment to the sea-board, only one tenth of it was destined for Savannah—and that out of 24 cars at the depot, only two were from the MaCon and Western Road! The Georgia Rail-Road and Charleston interest pre ponderates, and the Macon and Western Road loves to have it so ! The latter concern, we sus pect, belongs to persons adverse to the welfare of Macon and Savannah, or else different ar rangements would be made as to freight, &c. from the mountains. New Orleans Circular.—A Circular from one of the first Commercial Houses of New Or leans of date July 31, was politely furnished us, yesterday, and vve extract the following statement touching our great staple : “ The advices by the “ Britannia ” arc emphatically of the most cheering character, arid lead us to expect that the improvement which has now set in on the other side, will he permanent. Under the influence of tine weather, and the promise of an abundant har vest, the prices of food had rapidly receded, and Cot ton had advanced in the same ratio, the rise being 3-Bd. per lb. with sales to a very large extent, both to spinners and speculators. Since the receipt of this intelligence, our own market has gone up 3-4 c. the present range for middling to good middling Louisiana and Mississippi being 104 a 11c. per lb. The sales, likewise, have been large, and there is some prospect now that our heavy stock will be cleared off in suffi cient time to meet the incoming of the new crop. If the harvest in England and on the Continent of'Eu rope should turn out well, as is now expected, and there should be no heavy imports of Grain, we may look for remunerative prices of Cotton during the whole of the season, unless the crop should prove ex travagantly large, of which at present there is no | probability, as, with the single exception of Louisiana j and Mississippi, tiie accounts are bv no means verv i favorable.” Columbian Magazine.—The August No. ofi this monthly is unusually rich. Its embellish ments are “ Christ found in the leropie,” “ Lake Winnipisseogcc,” Plate of Fashions and Music. Mrs. Sigourney, Mrs. Osgood and Fanny For- ! rester, are among the contributors. The litera- j ry contents are excellent. Literary Messenger.—As usual, this valua ble periodical comes freighted with the treasures of literature. The interesting talc of “ the. For tunes of Esther the Jewess,” is continued. “Woe and Weal, or the Transitions of Life,” is also a graphic and well-written story. The more solid portions of this August No. we have reserved for : a more leisure reading. B. B. Minor, Editor and Proprietor, Richmond, Va. $5 in advance. Southern Quarterly Review.—The first article, “China and the Chinese,” in this No. of the Quarterly, is a long and highly interesting j review of the manners, customs, polity, religion, j &c. of the “ Celestials.” The 3d, “ Carolina Sports,” is out of place in such a .work as the : Review. It would better suit Ponpr’s “ Spirit of tho Times.” There arc articles, as “ Bhyverv in tho United States,” “ Robert Hall’s Works,” “ Valley of the AmazoiV’ “Ecclesiastical HU. ( tory of England,” “ Faulty Kemble, ’’ and the • Law of Libel.” That concerning “Fanny” is liable to the snmo objection ns that mentioned : against the “Carolina Sports.” Wo don’t ex- I actly ftso what great claims a semi-divorced | quondam actress has to such distinction as the j Review hoi conferred upon her. Calliopografiiy. —By this word is meant the script of Calliope or speech-notation. In other words, it is a system of Phonetic short-hand, much siiorter than that of any other system of stenography ever published. For the practise of this Art, the author, Mr. A Pantolcon, of Phil adelphia, has invented an instrument, called the Tachygraphion, by which four sounds are noted |at once. Two of the Instruments and one copy |of the work explanatory of the system, can be ! had for $2, by sending to Dr. A. Comstock, Phil- I adelphia. London Morality. —lt is stated that there , are in London 1,250,000 persons who never en : ter a Church—that infanticide is there so com mon, that children are daily ‘strangled,drowned, burnt, starved, poisoned and decapitated by whole sale,’ and that infant murder had ceasod to lie i murder in England ! This is a horrible picture ‘ | to contemplate. ITEMS. The Newton Troop, Capt.
