The Weather.—The last week gave us
a variety ‘ofspells,’ it was dry, wet, warm,
cold, and blustering. The rains were heavy,
and from Wednesday morning to Friday
night the showers were very frequent. The
Farmers are busily preparing for planting
corn, though we have heard of none that
have commenced. We notice the trees
begin to exhibit some sign of the coming
Spring, the Plum and Peach are partially
in bloom. We have no full grown Pears
here, however, as they have in Charleston.
We don’t crowd the season like ^the low
country ‘fellers.’
The Hon. M. Hall McAllister,

City.
Illustrated Magazine of Art.—We
have received the second number of this
aluable work. The illustrations are of the
highest order, and among the lovers of the
arts will be well appreciated. The Jitera-

oil and gas, running from the Battery to
Kingsbridge. The total amount of mains
laid in the city is two hundred and twenty
nine miles, and those laid last year are com
petent to supply 1,400 lamps more than are

Failure to Ret Bail.
The Federal Union of the 15th inst.,
says:
“Gen. W. Jones, who was arrested some
time ago for stealing negroes from Pierce
Bailey of Warren county, and a boy from
Dr. Jarratt of Baldwin, through his counsel
Messrs. Harris, Cone, Foster, and Hill,
made an effort on Saturday last to get bail
in the sura of five thousand dollars; but
was refused by Judge Johnson. Jones will
therefore have to await his trial, which, we
presume, will take place at the February
Term of the Superior Court in this county.”
Washington in the Season.—A Wash
ington letter of the 23d ultimo says: “Wash
ington is filling up rapidly. The season is
already gay. With the ‘receptions’ now
adopted by nearly every famiiv of note—
balls, parties and dining out—one has but
little time for other matters. Women dres*
this year more than ever. Every expense
is increased. It is almost impossible to live
like ‘white folks’ here for less than §3.50 a
day each person; and many with a family
of three to six pay at the National from §50
to §150 per week.
Natural Gas.—The Holmes county
i Ohio) Farmer states that a wonderful nat
ural curiosity has Been discovored in that
county, in the shape of natural gas. The
discovery was made on the farm of a Mr.
Purdy, some eight or ten rods south of the
house, in a curious kind of earth, resembling
dark saw dust. The owner for some years
has been aware of the existence of some
wonderful phenomenon. The place on
which the discovery has been made has
been cultivated for a number of years, and
it has been observed that iu a numbei of
places, everything planted or sown, and all
kinds of vegetation would dwindle and die
and seemingly turn up. After the late rain s
the water was discovered to be agitated, and
to bubble up iu a number of places, which
led Mr. Purdy and others to experiment,
by collecting a bottle of this gas and setting
it on fire ; when the instant a lighted match
was touched to it* the vapor ignited and
sent the bottle whizzing through the house-

IVews of tbe Week.
The discussion of the Monroe ‘doctrine,
still forms a part of the unfinished business
of the Senate, Mr. Douglass, had the floor
on Monday and debated the question at
some length, and in the course of his re
marks, pinched the toes of old fogy ism, by
defending ‘Young America,’ from tne taunts
frequently thrown out, of its being a lawless
marauding party, aud hinted that tbe reso
lutions of Mr. Cass, rather sanctioned by
implication this gross falsehood, by pledging
the future action of the government, as if
that were necessary to restrain the doing of
an act unlawful in itself. He was for ap
plying the doctrine to the present, and let
ting the future take care of itself, such re
marks brought Mr. Cass to the floor, who
contended that the remarks of Mr. D. were
mere hyper-criticisms; the debate then as
sumed an interrogatory and explanatory
shape, when Mr. Badger very facetiously re
marked that he felt constrained to inter
pose in the controversy between the very
harmonious friends, Young and Old Amer
ica, for the purpose of rebuking the unfair
and illiberal assault by Young America,
upon an old Fogy, for he himself belonged
to that class. The Senator from Illinois,
he said, objected to tbe word ‘henceforth’ in
the resolution, which contained its whole
merit. Strike out that, and it was not the
Monroe doctrine. (Laughter.) Its neces
»ity he thought was obvious, in twenty
years or sooner, a Presidential election com
ing on, it would be of incalculable advan
tage to repeat the declaration, to put aside
the past, and declare that henceforth no
wrongs shall be permitted. After some
further discussion, the whole matter was
postponed till Saturday.
The new coinage bill which had previ
ously passed the Senate, was passed in the
House on Tuesday, its principal provisions
are as follows:
To reduce the silver half dollar from
206 1-4 grains to 192 grains, and a like
reduction of the quarter dollar, dime and
half dime, the reduction being 6 91-100.—
A charge of 1-2 of I per cent as a seignior
age, for coinage of silver deposited at the
mint. To the alteration of the weight of
the silver coin there seemed to be no essen
tial opposition—but to the seiguiorage part,
a good deal of opposition was manifested,
though it is claimed that the seigniorage is
barely sufficient to meet the expense. The
bill is a very important one, making in ef
fect gold the standard of value, and silver
subservient to it. This is done without its
really fixing a new relative value between
gold and silver, but by seeking, through a
reduction in the actual value of silver coin,
as expressed on its face, to render it no
longer a more desirable export than gold.
Under the operation of the law, while the
value of the present silver coin is not touch
ed, it is presumed it will soon disappear to
be re-produced in the new coinage of less
value.”
The new Cabinet is still a matter of much
speculation, and we publish elsewhere in
this paper one among the inventions of the
letter writers. We are indebted to a friend
however, for tbe following, which is the
latest from Washington, and from a reliable
Eource. We have but little doubt of its
correctness:
Gov. Marcy, Secretary of State
A. O. P. Nicholson, (Tenn.) Sec’y Treas’y
J. C. Dobbin, (N. C.) Secretary Interior.
Jefferson Davis, (Miss.) Secretary of War.
Rob’t. McLane, Secretary of Navv.
R. McClelland, (Mich.) P. M. General.
Jas. Campbell, (Penn.) Att’y. General.
■1 he steamers Uncle Sam and Northern
Light, bring the latest intelligence from
California. The Legislature of that State
met on the 3d of January, the project of
calling a convention is still under discussion
the ostensible object of which, says the Al
ta Californian, is to abolish certain offices
established by the constitution, but the real
object the abrogation of the anti-slavery
clause in the constitution and the division
of the State, a project, which the Californi
an thinks is rather chimerical—the conven
tion will be called, but the object defeated.
Ihe message of the Governor shows the
finances of the State to be in a pretty bad
condition, and unless the Legislature can
adopt some means of retrenchment, bank,
ruptey will be the inevitable result, the ex
penditures exceed the receipts bv nearly
§600,000, aud the whole debt of the State
is upwards of two million of dolors. The
Governor suggests the abolition o/ a whole
batch of officers, biennial sessions of the
Legislature, and the reduction of the sala
ries of officers, as measures most likekjjAo
bring about a reform in their finances.-—
Business had been considerably embarrass
ed in the mining districts by the heavy rains,
and the scarcity of provisions had caused
some suffering.
A strike has taken place among the
workmen on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road. They held a meeting in Monument
square, which was attended by over 3,000
men, speeches were made, and a permanent
on their wages. Workmen' from other
shops had joined the railroaders. The
President of the company authorized the
foremen of the shops to advance wages to
same amount as paid by other shops in the
city, but this was not considered entirely
satisfactory, on Tuesday, however, they re
solved that the 800 workmen from the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad shops go to work
at the advanced rates offered by the com
pany, and that each man pledge 25 per
cent of his salary to the support of those
who may be compelled to remain on a
stride. By this resolution some 1600 men
resumed work in shops that had conceded
he advance.
A Singular Circumstance.
The Savannah Courier of Friday, has
the following:
“A circumstance came to our knowledge
yesterday which strikingly illustrates the
necessity of a railroad from Savannah to
the Southwestern section of the State. A
merchant from Thoraasville had purchased
a lot of rice for his customers in Thomas,
and adjacent counties. His orders were to
ship it by New York, and thence around
the Florida Keys to St. Marks ! Some of the
knowing ones were at first a little astonish
ed, but upon an investigation of the facts,
and figures it was found that the shipment
could be made for less money than by way
of Macon and Oglethorpe.
We have often heard that “the longest
way round is the shortest way home,” but
never before knew that the easiest and
cheapest method of sending produce from
one extremity of the first congressional dis
trict of Georgia to the other, is by shipping
it to the north pole and then dispatching it
by way of the equator to its place of desti
nation ! Is it no- a shame that the people
of Southern and Southwestern Georgia have
been so long excluded from the benefits of
an Atlantic outlet for their produce ?”
, .Some editor says, that the destiny of
the world often hangs on a trifle. A little
miff between ChariesBounaparte and his love
Letetia, might have broken off a marriage
which gave birth to Napoleon and the bat
tle of Waterloo. To which the Cbicaga
Advertiser says: “Yes, that is a faet. Sup
pose a ‘little miff’ had taken place between
Adam and Eve! What then?”
Appointment of U. S. Senator.— Gov
ernor Reid, of North Carolina, has appoint
ed Hon James C. Dobbin United States
Senator in place of Mr. Mangaro, whose term
expires on the 4th of March. The Legisla
ture failed to make a choice at the recent
session. The validity of the appointment
will be contested.
Col. Chas. A. May, of the U. Sv
Army, was married in New York on the
8th inst., to Miss Josephine, daughter of
George Law, Esq., the well known steam
ship owner.
ggT Capital punishment is abolished ia
Russia; that is, a man is not sentenced to
be hung, but he is sentenced to nine or ten
thousand blows of tbe knout, and expires
long before half the sentence has been exe*
cuted—humane government that.
£3T A bill has been reported in the Cal
ifornia Legislature to prevent monopolies in
provisions ; and to punish all combinations
to raise prices of food. Penalties very se
vere. Imprisonments from one to five
years, and $1,000 to $50,000 fine.
Liberal Subscription.—A gentleman
from New York has subscribed §426,600,
the whole amount required, to build a rail
road from Fayetteville, N. C., to Deep river
coal mines, in the same State.
President Fillmore has nominated
W. C. Micou, a distinguished lawyer of
Louisiana, formerly of Augusta, Ga., to fill
the vacancy on the bench of the Supreme
Court.
Savannah Water Works.—400 tons of
cast iron water pipes, designed for the con
struction of the Savannah water works, have

The bill for settling the Fremont
claims on the account of some of which Col.

Jt3T So great has been the scarcity of
provisions in the mining districts of.CSlifor

at §1 50 per lb. •
Liard Times.—In the fcowji of Trenton
N. York a young man had concluded to be
wedded to a miss of “sweet eighteen.” The
day was set, friends invited, and the clergy
man called. After the nuptial vows were
made, and the usual ceremonies performed,
the bridegroom with much solemnity and
dignity, stepped up to the revered sir, and
in a respectful tone said, ‘Sir, will you wait
until fell, and take your pay in corn?” •
A man got up the other night, and took,

[for THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN.]
Bear Georgian ;•—I have concluded
through the medium of your columns to of
fer a few suggestions to your readers, and
especially to your Washington county read
ers, upon the all important subject of Edu
cation, as confined especially to them.
And this subject merits our attention in
view of the great necessity of co-operative
efforts, in order to receive these results so
anxiously desired by every good citizen.—
The night of fearful gloom which so long
enveloped mankind in darkness, is fast pas
sing away: tbe bright morn of a more glo
rious day is dawning upon us, whose bril
liant sun is dispelling by its dazzling splen
dor the clouds of ignorance, which have
sunk man to the deepest depths of infamy.
Where once was a howling wilderness,
education has planted her peaceful growth,
dispensing joy aud plenty to all. The
church of God now stands where once was
heard the howlings of wild beasts, and tbe
yell of the red man often mingled with the
sound, the sure presage of an outburst of his
eruel vengeance, it may be upon helpless
woman or childhood innocence; Colleges
now bless your country, and tLose rays of
intelligence they constantly emit, shed their
light in tbe most hidden reeesses; and high
schools exist in every village throughout the
length and breadth of the land.
Yet notwithstanding these facts, I will
venture tbe assertion—that until within
the last two or three years, Washington co.
has done less for the cause of educatiou
than any other in the State of equal wealth
and facilities. Nor is she doing now, by
any means what she can do, yea, what
she ought to lo. To what can this be at
tributed ? It cannot be that her citizens
are too poor, for although she may not boast
of as many aristocrats as some others, yet I
unhesitatingly affirm that no county is bles
sed with a happier distribution of her wealth
than is Washington county.
Her’s is that condition of funds best adap
ted to the diffusion of useful knowledge.
Can it be then that our citizens cannot or
do not appreciate the many advantages
possessed by an intelligent over an ignorant
community l Or is the fault attributable
to the fact that they have too great an aver
sion to spending a few dollars in securing
that to their children what is of far more
intrinsie value to them than thousands of
wealth l It may be the latter, and we are
strongly inclined to the belief, though we
admit it reluctantly. But in investigating
this matter we can find the feolt no where
else ; you may console yourselves with this
reflection—we have no schools, and I shall
not send off my children, giving my money
to those who cared naught forme,, or my
welfare. The first excuse is rendered doub
ly ridiculous by the one following, for if
you desired to educate your childlren, why
did you not go to work and build houses*
secure ci mpetent teachers, and in this way
meet these obstacles ? Does it not seem
that this plan would have been abundantly
successful i But no, that would not do;
the education of my children is not sufficient
compensation for all this vast expenditure,
I shall therefore quiet my anxieties on
that score. Although there seems to be so
powerful an aitraetion between the pockets
ot our citizens and their purses, they have
nevertheless succeeded m erecting a building
designed especially for the education of fe
males. The male academy has been repair
ed, so that there are now two schools in
Sandersville. The male school, is and has
been for several years under the superinten
dence of Mr. Rudisill, whose abilities as a
teacher, and accomplishments as a gentle
man render him highly meritorious of the
regards of the community. The female
school is under the charge of Mr. Pendle
ton, whose extensive reputation as a scholar
and Christian is sufficient guarantee that
his highest aim will be tbe mental and mor
al improvement of those entrusted in his
care. There is one thing connected with
this female school, which we iook upon with
anxiety, and against which we would pre
sume to admonish you; it is this desire
which seems to pervade all your delibera
tions— for change of teachers. Without
saying auything regarding the competency
or incompetency of those who have preced
ed Mr. Pendleton, I would earnestly en
treat those whose duty it is to act in this
matter now that you have a good teacher
keep him. Abandon those insatiable de
sires for change ; you may have some pet
ty preferences; if so, you exhibit vastly
more magnanimity by sacrificing them, I
than by clinging to them; imbibe that lof-
ty and enobling sentiment of prefering the
public interests—the interests ofyour coun
try and of the world—to your own personal
desires.
It is the language of another that
“change is not necessarily reform, and the
history of our country and others, afford
ample proof of its truth.”
I presume it is uuhecessary to mention
the many evil consequences of too frequent
changes; they appear to every one, and need
not bo Rnnnrht after
Now bear in mind that I do not make
these remarks as applicable to the change
last made; ou the contrary, it has no doubt
been of vast good to the school, and there
fore you should now determine to retain
you* teacher as long as he meets the obli
gations imposed upon him, in a manner
promotive of the general weal
Fellow citizens I appeal to yon for tfct
consummation of those bright prospects
which now gild our horizon, establish
schools all over your county ; educate your
children, and thus render your county ao
example worthy the imitation of her sisters;
diffuse intelligence, and virtue her insepera-
ble companion throughout your county and
the world; do this, and earth’s enslaved
millions will turn to you and dry their
tears; do this, and your county will add
fresh lustre to the name of him who lives
in the heart of Americans as the father and
defender of their liberties. H. L. J. J.

We heard a very good anecdote, lately
of a French tailor in New York. He had a
woman in his employ, an excellent hand to
whom he gave six dollars a week, but she
wanted her wages raised, and called upon
the Frenchman for that purpose, when the
following dialogue took place:—
“Sir, I want my wages raised.”
“Ah, Sally, you want more I’argent ?
What for you want more? You ’ave every-
t’ing ver’ comfortable ”
“Well, sir, the Dutchman over the way
has offered me seven dollars ”
“Ze Dutchman is von omburg, Sally ! He

me, I yill marry you. I no give you seven
dollars, hut I make you von wife.”
