The largest nugget of pure gold ever
found in California, was brought by the
Daniel Webster. It weighs 2576 ounces
and its value is estimated at $38,920. It
is about fifteen inches in length and from
five and a half to six inches in width. A
company consisting of four Americans and
one Swiss, were the lucky finders. Mr.
Perkins of Lexington, Ky., is one of the
number, and although engaged in mining
for two years has made but little hereto

Cockneyism.
The following is in a piece with the Lon-
doneer who asked with a very knowing
look, while partaking of a bit of ham,
where they grew: It is stated that the
Illustrated London News, received by the
last steamer, informs its English readers,
that at the late New York election the
contest for the Governorship of the United
States, was a very close one.
JSgg'Tlie Governor of New York defines
his position on the liquor question, at con
siderable length as being strongly in favor
of a complete suppression of the traffic,
citing many forcible arguments. He consid
er.- it as entirely constitutional and hopes a
bill may be formed, to suppress the sale of
ardent spirits without interfering with the
personal rights of any citizen.

ing n yr'ads of i isects and their larva;, like
many of our native birds. I think the se-
verity of our climate will present no diffi
culty in their increase, as they are found
all over Europe, from Siberia to Spain.-—
They migrate from the more northerly re
gions of the Continent before winter, to
the lower districts; but only partially so
from many parts of England and Scotland
where the climate is probably as severe as
that of Delaware and many parts of the
west.
My importation, consisting of forty-two
birds—about an equal number of males
and females—cost me, including all ex
penses, $60.
Origin of Mormonlsm.
After publishing a very severe piece on
Mormon Polygamy, from the Cincinnati
Gazette, in which decided ground is taken
against the admission of Utah as a State,
the Chronicle cfe Sentinel thus discourses
as to the origin of Mormonism in general:
It would bo a singular investigation, but
we should like very much to see some sta
tistics of the nativity of the Mormons. We
think that they would develope* that the
great mass are emigrants from theNorth and
Northwest; and except those of foreign birth
almost exclusively from those two sections.
Not one in ten, are natives, or ever were
residents of the South. We have fre
quently made enquiry in reference to
Georgia, and wc have never been able to
hear of but one individual who embraced
the Mormon faith, and he was literally an
outcast in the community in which he
lived. If our opinion be correct, it is
rather a severe commentary upon the boast
ed moarl superiority of the North.

Decay of Abolitionism.
Whatever else may be said of the Know
clear that it is producing a most salutary in
fluence on the Slavery question, in bring
ing Abolitionism to a premature decay.
We find evidences of this fact is almost
every paper we take up. Witness the let
ters of Rev. Dr. Lord aud the recent speech
pf the venerable Dr. Cox of Brooklyn.
Either would have been repudiated twelve
mouths ago as sold.to the South, aud un
worthy to he seen in a Northern pulpit.
Witness the change of the Bostoa'Tele-
graph from a rank Abolition paper to a
Know Nothing Organ in which it promi
ses to say less about Slavery and more
about the great interests of our common
country. Note also the fact that the two
leading organs of Seward, the New York
Times and the New York Tribune have
both recently contracted their size from the
lack of proper support. It would seem that
the rabid Freesoilers are aware of the
cause of their declension and are endeav
oring to rally, as a convention recently in
Bostou, determined to repudiate the Know
Nothings as too National for them, and or
ganise in a distinct party as heretofore. If
the Know Nothing movement results in
protecting the rights of the South, and put
ting down Sectionalism, by forming a great
National brotherhood, sworn to protect the
Constitution, and stand by each other in
defence of a great principle, then we at the
South should look well ere we attempt to
throttle this young giant, who has already
made such deadly threats at the old ser
pent Abolitionism, and if let alpne, is like
ly to be the death of it.

Transportation of Sky Larks,
John Gorgas of Wilmington Delaware
has Imported two lots of this trans-Atlan
tic bird to this country. The first, twenty
in number on the 20th of February, 1858
and the last, consisting of twenty two in
number, on the 18th of April following.—
On the 24th of July last, he thus writes in
reference to them :

meui will succeed, as the birds may now

jjgy Some years since two preachers were
sent to a circuit in the South Carolina Con
ference, while it embraced the State of
Georgia, one an old man and the other
young and unexperienced in the itinerancy
He had, however, enjoyed better advan
tages than the old one, and was withal
somewhat of a humorist. The old gen
tleman concluded that it would he best Tor
the young preacher to accompany him the
first round, to learn the habits of the peo
ple, the ups and downs of his new calling,
and perhaps get some, insight inio^the true
method of preaching the gospel. Having
no great resources and less energy, and be
ing on a circuit all his life, he had con
tracted the miserable habit of fixing up a
sermon to preach at every church during a
single round. Accordingly at the first
place they came to, he read out his text
j from Mat. viii. 14, 15, which details the
sickness and cure of Peter s wife s mother.
! His sermon was very passable, but at every
readers or the subject, I simply submit
the enquiry, viz.: whether we have finally
surrendered all hope of relieving ourselves
from our isolated position and its incon-
veniencies ? I have for a long time care
fully considered this question and in
full view of all existing embarrassments.
And the result of my reflections is the plan
the outlines of which, are embraced in the
annexed form of “ A Bill to be entitled an
Act,” &c. I have used this form of ex
pression because I could thus perhaps best
give the idea of my plan and more readily
attract the attention of your readers.
Is it worth while to call lip this subject
at a time which every one will consider so
unseasonable ? It will be at least a year,
or more before the company could be char
tered and organized. Yet, I would be
jlad if every principle, aud even notion
involved in the plan could even this early
be discussed and understood. I would be
lad too to hear all objections to it, all sug
gestions or amendments that can be of
fered.
I propose, occasionally, through your
columns to nelt the attention of your read
ers to some of the leading features and the
details of this plan. For the present al
low a fact or two in conclusion.
The people of Hancock pay
taxes on property to the a-
mount of about $6,250,000
One per cent on this amout, is 62,500
Two and a half per cent, is 156,250
So that in one year, two and a half per
cent would raise money enough to com
mand the necessary aid to build a road.
But every one will answer, and truly,
that not one half of the taxable property
can be brought into the company. Let
us suppose then that two millions taxable
property would join the company.
One per cent on two millions, is 20,000
Two and a half per cent, is 50,000
In order to look at the case in the most
improbable aspect, suppose that only one
million worth of property will join the
company, and I cannot doubt but that
there is enough of the Railroad spirit left
in spite of the lost subscription to the sur
vey in 1852, to form a company worth one
million.
One per cent, is 10,000
Two and a half per cent., is 25,000
Even at this slow process the fund could
be raised in six years, without counting
the increase of the fund from being com
pounded three or four times a year. But
more at another time.

Peter’s wife’s mother being laid and sick
of a fever,” greeting the ear of the unfor
tunate young minister, until he became
restless if not indignant, at the repetition
of the dose. At length they approached
the village and the distant tolling ot the
church bell fell upon their ears, announc-
ixg the mournful fact that a funeral was
about to transpire. “ Ah, said the old
gentleman, drawing a deep sigh, some one
is dead, I wonder who it can be.” “ I
dont know,” said the young preacher, very
unsophistically, “unless it be Peter’s wife’s
mother,for she has been sick long enough.”

Our Rail Road. .
We commend the following communica
tion to every citizen of Hancock. It is
from a source to command respect, and
presenting as it does a new plan for get
ting up Railroad stock, we hope the ground
will be calmly surveyed, before it is con
demned. By a proper combination, one
hundred of the largest tax payers of the
county, could effect wonders in a few years
and if they received no dividends besides
the increase in the value of their lands, by
establishing a Railroad, they would be am
ply compensated. As intimated by our
correspondent, it may be full early to
broach the question, but perhaps the soon
er the better. Without committing our
selves to any particular plan for raising
the wherewith, we intend soon to show
that a branch Railroad from Tennille via
Sandersville to this place, is the one to
which we have to look as the last link to
connect us with the great world without,
and that it is not only the most feasible,
the cheapest, the most natural, hut the
very best, opening as it will the two great
est markets in the South to our planters,
as soon as the Charleston and Savannah
Railroad is completed, and presenting the
very best facilities for Northern and Wes
tern travel, that possibly could be afforded
us; while Sparta will be the market town
for a considerable scope of country embrac
ing besides Hancock, the borders of Put
nam,Green, Taliafero, and Warren. And
besides our good old seaport will help us
as soon as she regains her former strength,
while (we speak advisedly,) Sandersville
and Washington county will do their part.

city of money—of pressing debts—of de
preciation of all manner of stocks—Factory
Railroad and even Bank stocks—not to
say Tavern stock—times too when our

first Monday in May next aud annually
thereafter on the same day until further
provided, and at such annual meeting an
assessment shall he laid by a majority of
two thirds of the votes of subscribing
members, upon the taxable property of the
members as returned and registered in the
Digest of the tax returns of the county,
in amount not exceeding two and one half
(2i) per centum per annum on each hun

And the President of the company shall
have the power summarially to collect the
amount due from delinquent members as
now provided by law for tax collectors in
similar eases.
Sec. 3. Be it further enacted, That

Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.
WaShIngton, Jan. 14, 1855.
A remarkable change of opinion has
come over the Ilonse of Representatives on
the subjecFof the homestead project, since
the late session. The bill passed the House
last session by a majority of thirty-five,-aud
after undergoing a modification which re
moved the supposed objections of some
members, it was rejected by a majority of
twenty-eight last week. This sudden
change of policy on the part of members
is attributed to nothing else than the pro
gress of Know Nothingism,—the point up
on which the bill was defeated being .the
extension of its bendfits to foreigners.—
The objection when formerly made had no
weight with the House.
It is said that there is to he a discussion
upon the subject of the new . dogmas in
the Senate, upon the occasion of a report
from the judiciary committee, adverse to
Mr. Adams’ proposition for a modification
of the naturalization lavs. The policy ot
this country in regard to foreigners has
been often discussed iu Congress, and on
one occasion, in a very able manner, between
Mr. Clay and Mr. Silas Wright. The po
litico-religious aspect of the question is
very ably treated in Mr. Chandler’s _late
speech, and a very large number of copies
of the question will, I presume, he circu
lated in the Southern States, where Know
Nothingism is not, as at the North, a ques
tion of competition between native and
foreign labor.
Mr. Stevens, of Georgia, is expected to
speak to-morrow, upon points of sectional
controversy, involved in the Nebraska hill,
and in reply to the views of Mr. Campbell,
as lately delivered. This speech will at
tract much attention.
The tari ffquestion is in asingular position!
Th ; friends of the protective policy have
become advocates of Mr. Walker’s free
trade Tariff of 1848, for the repeal of
which they so much clamored heretofore.

free trade, instead of going back to pro
tection.
The ultra free trade men are so much
opposed to Mr. Guthrie’s project that they
prefer the present tariff to that. They will
support the plan of the committee of ways
and means. Mr. Guthrie’s project will
have the effect to encourage commerce and
manufactures, while it diminishes the reve
nue. BnUthere is little chance for the
adoption ot that or of any plan, at pres
ent. It is time for Congress, in the abort
session, to reach some practical legislative
results. The army augmentation bid, the
judiciary bill, aud the court of claims biil
are making hut slow progress. The in
crease of the country, and a dispute upon
the question of its reorganization ought
not to defeat it. Ion.
A Good Law.—-The following is the
law of Savannah closing tke drinking
houses in that city on Sundays :
Be it ordained by the Major and Aider-
men of the city of Savannah and the
Hamlets thereof in Council assembled
and it is hereby ordained by authority of
the same—That from aud after the passage
of this Ordinance every person who shall
hereafter keep within the city of Savan
nah or hamlets thereof or its extended
jurisdictional limits shop store, bar-room,
tavern /oyster bouse or cellar, confectionary
eating-house, porter, ale or beer house,
shall on every Saturday night at twelve
o’clock, close and keep shut the door or
doors, and window of windows, to a tavern
oyster-house, or cellftr, confectionery,
eating-house, porter, ale or' beer house,
until the hour of twelve o’clock Sunday
night.
The Temperencc men in England are
about to petition their parliament for a
prohibitory liquor law. There are 2,527
licensed brewers in the British Islands,
and 88,400 persons licensed to sell spirits
and wine, and 38,658 licensed to sell beer
In 1851 there were 31,000,000 gallons
of spirits consumed in Great Britain in one
year, with nearly 6,500,000 gallons of
foreign wine The whole amount thence
accruing to the public revenue is over
fifteen millions sterling. It will be seen,
from this statement that the temperance
men have a formidable opposition to encoun
ter.
Drunkenness.—What is it that sapt
the morals of youth ; kills the germ . of
ambition ; desolates the domestic hearth
renders families fatherless ; digs dishon-
ered graves ? —Drunkenness. What
makes a man shunned by the relatives
who loved him ; contemned by the con
temporaries who outstripped him ; reviled
by the. very wretches who betrayed him ?
—Drunkenness. What fills our asylum
with lunatics ; our ponds and rivers with
infamy ?—- The destructive vice. He who
by precept whether oral or written should
succeed iu rendering drunkenness detesta
ble ,and sobriety an inviolable virtue
throughout the land will confer on all
classes—a boon beyond price.
