$t)e Sri. Courier aerea, &a b M. DWINBLIi, tiditor & Proprietor, «lBO. T. STOVAIjIm Arsfltiatc Editor Saturday Morning, Jan. 38, 1800. Mr'. Howards Address. It would Tequire a pen such as he on ly can wield to do justice to the finished address With which Mr. Howard en- chsined the attention, of his large and respectable audionoo on Thursday eve- ning. Abounding In historical incidents of the early, settlement of Georgia, rich ~in profitable and interesting informa tion, replete with beautiful imagery and clothed in the most chaste and classic language, it was delivered With a grace and elegance of oratory that sent the polished shaft with unerring swiftness to the heart of every hearer. It was a rare intellectual banquet. There the ig norant mind could feast on knowledge; the thirsty soul drink in the pure wa- tersof delight and therefined and fas tidious taste be furnished every dolioa- cy its appetite demanded. His com mendation of the Christian benevo lence and self sacrificing philanthropy of the settlers of Georgia, his defense of them against the imputation of having been a “penal colony," and his eloquent tribute to the neglected memory ot the great Oglethorpe wore worthy the occa sion, the subject, and the orator.— In the comparison made between New England and Georgia, begin ning with the former at the land ing of the Pilgrim’s at Plymouth, and with the latter at the settlement of our State by its founders, and taking the histories of them both as data for his calculations upon their future rela tive prosperity and greatness the breast of every Georgian present swell ed with laudable pride, at the noble po sition assigned to their beloved State.— He said if all the merchant vessels of the New England States were swallow ed up in the great deep, and all the ma chinery in their vast manufactories wore to stand still, the world would regard it as we do a groat calamity, a terrible con Bagration, a city sinking into the bosom of the quaking earth or inundated with volcanic fires. i£fl . , They would for a moment be startled and then roturn with unconcern to their accustomed avocations. But should the cotton crop of the South fail for two consecutive years, famine and destitu tion would sweep over the Northern States, Europe would be convulsed, and the starving thousands of English * operatives would rise in masses and * their clamors for bread would cause the trirono of Great Britain to totter to its fall. He appealed in the most persua sive eloquence to the young men of the Christian Association to go forward in their great work. To illustrate the good to bo accomplished he describes the course of a young man from tho time ho first enters a city a stranger and friendless, when the tempter sots l>is his net, in which he finally and hope lessly becomes entariglcd, until tho lost scene upon the bed of remorse and death when ho laments “ I was a stranger and ye took me not in.” Ho then paints in vivid colors, tho poisonous serpent, with “graceful coil and mottled skin,” lurking beneath the swaying boughn from which tho light hearted songster, unconscious of harm, fills the forest with its delightful melo dy. Suddenly a bright gleam from tho grass below, flashes oerbss its vision- alarmed and fascinated, its wings refuse to perform their office, and it soon falls to Che earth, a prey to its venomous Charmer. So with vice und its victim. “The rattle of tho dice box, is the warning note of tho doadly rattlesnake." Tho broezo rust ling the leaves, the snapping of a twig, anyth!ag to disturb the fatal silenco wouldhave broken the spell of the ser pent, and released its unfortunate capt tive to fly to its distant safety. So word spoken in season, an appealing look, on act of kindness will often awaken a young man to the danger which in the garb of pleasure woos him to destruction. But we have said more than we had intend intended. The pleasure wo derived from recalling tho beau ties of Mr. Howard's address, has led us unconsciously too far. Were we called on to give in a sen tenco, n discretion of this address, wo would use some writer’s definition of eloquence—“tho truth fitly spoken. — Mr. Howard intends delivering it before the several associations in the State. We congratulate our friends of Macon, Columbus and Savannah on the rich treat that is in store for them. N«t week, at the invitation of ,thb two literary Societies of Franklin College, Mr. Howard will visit Athens for the tamepubpose. Being somewhat acquainted? With'the cultivated literary tM&of WflUbfclii of that place, we are oonfidwMblte wUl 1 have an’audience who will fully WMweobte' his noble and disinterested! jjgy-Tho following from the Charles ton Mercury are views we have long en tertained. According to our view, the true antag onism between tho United .States and Great Britain exists between the North and that country. Tho manufacturing and commercial interests of the North enter into competition witli British in terests of the same kind, and under the system of Protective furilfe ftnd *Slnp- ping Bounties the rivalry redounds to the benefit of the North and the disad- vantage of Great Britain* The bouth ii the customer, for whose custom and business both compete. Doubtless there are many blind und ruthless fan atics enlisted in the cause of abolition in Great Britain as there are ot the North.. Doubtless there ore cold-blood ed calculators amongst the statesmen of thatcountry, who, having wretchedly failed in their estimate of Afrioan char acter and their effort to multiply the tropical productions of her West Indian Colonics by the supposed stimulus of freeing tho slaves, now desire to bring the rival States of tho South to the same level of unproductiveness, accom panied by a decrease of relative power and independence. With these classes, of course, abolition and the ruin of the South are the ends sought. But^ tho real, controlling statesman of Great Britain have more practical and larger views than these. They use this ques tion with a view to practical interests chiefly. They edge on Nortljcrn people to their owu ruin and the uenefit of Britain. It is done with a solfish pur pose and to accomplish an end—a sepa ration of the manufacturing and com mercial North from the agricultural South. Tho interests of the South and and Great Britain are mutual and coin cident. She wants our cotton, rice, to bacco, Ac., for her own use, and she wants to soil us in exchange the manu factured goods we want, and to have the carrying trade for her shipping.— As matters stand now, through the Navigation and Tariff Laws, the proper relation of natural and profitable cus tomers is interrupted. British goods and British shipping are to a great ex tent prohibited by the taxes required.— The South is compelled to consume Northern commodities and to use Northorn shipping at higher prices than she could with free trade. The South The Slaveholder Abroad, or Billy j pays a tribute to tho North. England^ is deprived, to a considerable extent, of her best customer. She has, therefore, striven to bring about a state of aliena tion between tho sections of the United States, ller statesmen have seized the very convenient slavery question, and used it, to separate tho Nortli and tho South, and supplant the North in busi ness with us, either by a preference ac corded to her, or in open competition in such an evant. Her policy progresses to success, and must damage or destroy the commercial and manufacturing prosperity of tho North, now reached through tho unequal bond of the Un ion, and at tho expense of the South.— It must result greatly to tho advantage of British interests. These views con stitute tho real spur to the intermed dling of Englishmen, and this, as wo un derstand it, is tho gumo of their saga cious and practical statesmen. It is in duced principally by the cramped and unjust policy of Protective Tariffs and Navigation Laws; which aro as detri mental to the South as they are to Great Britain. If these were done away ■with, wo would hear little of abolition ism from Hie politicians of that coun ty- _ Buck on his Travel* This is tho title of a now work by a Georgian, and published by J. B. Lip- pincott A Co., of Philadelphia. It is a series of letters to Mqj. Jones, of Pine- villo from a relation, on a tour through England, with his negro servant, Buck. The Sonthcrn public will look for it with impatience. The Savannah Morn ing Xeu>s, says of it: “The book will be found interesting, entertaining and instructive, and can not fail, at this time—when the slavery question is so fearfully agitating the pub lic mind, and when such unscrupulous and traitorous efforts are being made to array tho prejudice of the masses in the free’States against tho institution—to make a profound impression on tho minds of all candid and fair thinkers. Wo give below “Buck's Possum story,” as related by him to an English Baronet and his triends, after a “Fox hunt,” at which Duck had distinguish ed himself by his fearless riding and | niastcHy management of his “animal:” “ Well genT’msw,” he said, “when I was bout a man grown, I staid in the same cabin with one o’ Marster’s ole niggers, named Uncle Cudjer.” (Old Cudjo, whom you no doubt remember, Major.) “Well, one night Uncle Cud jer he was gwine a possum-huntin, an axed mo to go long with him; but I hail some other fish to fry that night, an so I wouldn’t go with him. But Uncle Cudjer he went an kotch apossom rigbt soon, for he allers could do it.. Some how anutlicr, when be an ole King went out to hunt forum, tho possums stood no more chance thail a ole red fox with you arter him, Marster.” (Bowing to the baronet.) “An»o be brought his possum hpme, cleaned it, put liis pep per and salt on it, put it in his little oven, made fire onder it, and then, boin tie was sorter tired by this time, lie went fist tojsleep. Well, late at night I come home; and when I went in, thar was the old man, sound asleep. I raised up the led of the little oven, an piff— putt’—out thar como sich a nice, rich, roast-pig sort o’ smell, hit made my mouth farly water agin. The possum was dun ele gant; anthen close by the ole man’s plat ter was a nice corn dodger, waitin for the possum. Hit was lata sense supper, I had had a long walk in the cool night ar, an was hungry, and tho sight was was too much for my vartue, Marster.— I tuk the old man’s possum, sir, I did, (hit warnt very big sir,) an eat hit all up. Then I tuk some o' the grease, and sor ter saftly rubbed it all over his mouth, sir, and over his hands, sir, and then 1 washed my own, an laid down an went to sleep myself. Bombye, Uncle Cud jer he waked up, he did, and looked for his possum, an sure .enough hit warn’t thar. Then he shuck me, he did, tell he waked mo up. “ Pori Buck,” says he, ,you gran rascal, you been tiefy my possum—heh ?

A French amateur, in the Paris Hor ticultural Review states: “About a year ago, I made a bargain for a rosebush of magnificent growth, and full of buds. 1 waited for them to bloom, and I expected roses worthy of such a noble plant, nnd of thopraisu be stowed upon it by tho vendor. At length when it bloomed, all my hopes were blasted. The flowers were of u faded color, and I discovered that Iliad only a middling multitlora stale colored enough. I, therefore, resolved to sac rifice it to some experiments which I had in view. My attention hud been captivated with the effects of charcoal, as stated in some English publications. I then covered the earth (in the pot in which my rosebusli was) about half nn inch deep witli pulverized clmroonl.— Some days after, I was astonished to see the roses which bloomed, of ns fine alivcly rose color its I could wish. I de termined to repeat the experiment, and therefore, when tho rose bush had done flowering, I took off tho charcoal and put fresh earth on tho pot. You may conceive that I waited for tho next spring impatiently to sec the rasult of this ex periment. When it bloomed, the roses were as at first pale and discolored; but by applying charcoal us lieforo, they soon resumed their rosy red color. 1 tried the powdered charcoal likewise in large quantities upon petunias, and found that both tlio white and violet flowers were equally sensible to its ac tion. It always gave great vigoi to tho red or violet colors of tho flowers, and the white petunias bccumo veined with red or violet tints. Tho violets (color ed) became covered with irregular blu ish or almost block tint. Many persons who admired them thought tliut they were new varieties from seed.
