Angelic Sympathy,
Angetewere in the foil exercise of their
powert- even at the first infancy of otir spe
cies, awd ! shftrfed in the gratnlatioas "of that
period, when, at the birth of humanity,, all
intelligent’ nature felt the gladening im
pulse, and the morning start sang togeth
er for joy. They loved us even with the
love which a family bears to- a younger
sister; and the very childhood of our tin
ier faculties did only serve the more to en
dear us to them, and though horn at a la
ter hour in the history of creation, did
they regard us as heirs of the same desti
ny with themselves, to rise along with
them in the scale of moral elevation, to
bow at the same footstool, and- to partake
of those high dispensations of a parent’s
care, which are ever emanating from the
throne of the Eternal, on all the members
of a duteous, and affectionate family.—
Take the reach of aft gel's mind, but, at
the same time, take the'seraphic fervor of
an angel’s benevelence along with it; how,
from the eminence on which he stands, he
may have an eye upon many worlds, and a
rememberanee upon the origin and the
successive concerns of every one of them,
how he may feel the full force of a most
affecting relationship with the inhabitants
of each, as the offspring of one common
bather; and though it be both the effect*
and the evidence of out depravity, that we
cannot sympathize with these pure and
generous ardors of a celestial spirit; how
it may consist with a lofty comprehension,
and the ever-breathing love of an angel,
that can both shoot his benevolence abroad

Necessity of the Sabbath.—Dr. Farr,
one of the first .physicians in this or any
other country, pledged (before the House
of Commons) his professional character to
the declaration that the extensive research
he had been able to make in physical na
ture had brought him to .the conviction,
that the Sabbatli law is stamped no less
impcrishably in the Decalogue, than it is
-on the constitution, of man and beast; and
though, of course, no merely physical in

On the morning of the 31s* uJt., we
found ourself en route for Macon via San-
dersville. Bitter' cold, and wife and
children aboard, but all vejy pleasant.
Our mind was- not so much accupied about
these small matters as other things which
to us were, “Big with the fate^of Caesar
aad of Rome/''
We were cogitating on the glorious idea
of a Railroad from Sparta to Tennillo—
how much more pleasant the travel would be
what a beautiful country for, such an en
terprise—-no hill of magnitude between the
two pla es—had a dreamy recollection of
Savannah or the C. R. R. offering to build
and stock it, if we would have it graded—
thought of the ease with which the farm
ers of this county coukl do it without pay
ing out a cent of money and get a hand
some dividend in saving freight^ and the
increased value of their land—had an in
distinct glimpse of the city of Sparta float
ing before our vision—increased manufac
turing facilities—paper mill—town pro
perty enhanced a hundred per cent?—shad
oysters telegraphic communication
with Savannah, and all the world besides
—thought of the inexhaustable pine for
ests opened to our town building, and wood
for manufacturing purposes—how cheap
we could manufacture—how much dor
mant capital, &e., &c.
But here we came to Sandersville, im
proved considerably in population .tnd, by
the way, is a very pleasant town, with in
creasing facilities far trade. Considerable
cotton is purchased here, as the cotton re-
pirisa test, and of course goofs •- re sold in

thing .save Him in whose presence it has
tens one, and before whose throne it fills
one with the spirit of them who sing with
out eearing, “ Worthy is- the Lamb that
was slain, to receive power, and riches,
and wisdom, and .strength; and honor, and
blessing-” I heard the congregation sing
ing hymns of praise to-day; the loud or
gan led them on, binding all together, so
that the voices were as the voice of one
man ; the grand chorus filled the house of
the Lord, as it seemed to say, “Holy, holy,
holy is the Lord of hostel let the whole
earth be filled with his glory;” and I came
away wishing that the people of New Eiig-
k iow what we mean when we speak of
congregational singing, become sensible of
its immense importance to their worship

appropriate preparatory measures for its
introduction.”
Gratitude.—Dr. Doddridge on one
occasion interested himself in behalf of a
condemned criminal and at length succeed
ed in obtaining his pardon. On entering
the cell of the condemned man and announ
cing to him the joyful intelligence, he pros
trated himself at the Doctor’s feet and
with streaming eyes exclaimed, ‘O sir every
drop of my blood thanks you for yon have
had mercy on every drop of it. Wher
ever you go I will be yours.” This was
the emphatic, expression of his gratitude
to an earthly friend for saving him from
temporal death. With how much greater
propriety may the Christian prostrate him
self at the feet of Christ, and say, “My
soul thanks thee for thou hast mercy on
my soul. In all circumstances and in all
places in time and eternity I will be thine.
1 owe everything to thee and all that I am
and-haye I will devote to thee. Thou
hast saved me, and I will follow thee and
cling to the as my best friend !”

Mr. Wilson A. Green, who emigrated from

It is dated Burke county, Jqnttary loth,
1856.
“ When wc honied in Texas, I believe
we were all disappointed, as to the looks of

Tbe state Temperance Convention versus
the Minority.
Mr., Editor;—Ju suy last I spoke tff the
action t»f the minority of the State Tem-
peraaee Convention, I h«g yom induigenci
onee more, white I feted! make * Tew eng
gestions to .the friends of the temperance
cause in the State, am} especially to thos<
who may compose "the Convention to bi
held at Atlanta, 1 understand the objects
of'that convention to he, tS nominate n
candidate for the next Governor, and to
make preliminary arrangements far candi
dates te the Legislature in the different
counties. As it regards the first* of these
objects, it is my deliberate -conviction that
it i» prsmatw^, which I think the feflow-
uag considerations will dearjy -show fa eve
ry sober-thinking man. Suppose, for in
stance, that the convention should nomi
nate a temperance candidate, and when the
two political parties of the State-^=Whig
and Democrat-=shonld moot far that pur
pose, they shall see proper to reject the
uinn^ nominated, and. each party should
nominate thofa own candidate, ana then the
American party, (KjN\> not being satis;
fied with either, should find it necessary to
nominate a different candidate from all.
Then them are four candidate* in the field
for Governor, What chaw© will there Be
for the election of either ? ’for it requires a
majority of all the votes east ta ejecj, Now
the suppositions which I have made are frell
founded, and-the case supposed rnjiy, an( i
in alj probability, will take piaeo, if there
is a noniinatian wade at the anticipated
convention. This will effectually forestall
the great object to.be secured, in so far as
the Governor is concerned, I submit to
every thinking man, if it would not he bet

upon the one who may he willing to es
pouse the pause of temperance, and if
neither can bo trusted on this subject, then
•it will be sufficient time to make a nomina
tion of one that will. But upon this sub
ject there need be but little fear. For if
Gov. Johnson, or Mr. Jenkins, or Judge
Andrews, or almost any other man that
may be run for Governor, should he elec
ted,their acquiescence mgy be relied upon.
But after all, it is not to the Governor
that the friends of temperance are to look
so much as to the Legislature. W-hat can a
temperance Governor do with an anihtem-
peranee Legislature? It is, therefore, to the
character of the Legislature - we haVe tn
look. Let that he of the right stamp and
the object is secured, But «tb© question
comes up, How are we to obtain the right
sort of men in the Legislature ? In an
swer to this Cfuestion I would suggest, that
the anticipated convention adopt such a
platform as shah not be offpnsivc to that
portion of tlie temperance men who are
more moderate ip-their feelings and views-

wait and labor on till the way is prepared,
to get more. We have nothing to fear but
rash measures, for the cause we plead is
the cause of the heart broken wife, the
weeping mother, the neglected children?
of humanity—of good order. It is the
cause of God and must ere long prevail.

A writer in the Boston Journal thinks
tliat of the three hundred thousand chil
dren in this country wbp die under ten
years of age, at least one hundred thous
and might survive, but for the effects of
saleratus. He relates a'curioqs story of a
sickness in a boarding house at Wifliams-
town, Mass., caused by eating biscuits,
puddings, &c., full of sahiratus, - Out of
fifteen boarders, thirteen were taken sick.'
and were confined a long time, two of them
died, and another barely escaped death,
and the others recovered after severe sick
ness. Prof.. Tatlook and Rev. Mr. Craw
ford, who ate but little of the food, es
caped illness.
Human Liee."—Ah ! this "beautiful
world- Indeed, I know not what to think
of it. Sometimes it is all gladness and
sunshine, and heaven is not ifar off; and
then it changes suddenly, and it is dark
and sorrowful, and the clouds shut out the
sky. In tlte lives of the saddest pf ns, there
are bright days like this, when we feel aft
if we conld tain this great world in our
arms. Then .come the gloomy hours, when
the fore will neither burn in our hearts or
fo cur hearths,and ail within a dismal,cojd
and dark. Believe; every heart has its se
cret sorrows, which the world knows not;
and oftentimes we call a man cold when he
is only sad.—Long fellow,

- Benedict Arnoid’e Family,
“ Lieut,. Gen. James Robertson Arnolo
lied in London on Decbmber 27th- Hi
was second sou ©f Benedict Arnold, fe
Margaret his wife, daughter of Chief Jus
.ice rihippen of Pennsylvania. He enter
ed the corps of Royal Eugitteers } n 179^
nid served more tiian h^lf 3 century.—
ife married Yirguiia, daughter of Bqrt-
:ett Goodrich. Esq., of the Is}e of Wight,
•ind for his military services rxaa created 3
rvaight of Hanover, was appointed aid-d
camp to William IV., and was p^eeeentet
(Vrth a costly sword;”
Thd abOy-o mrrned officer was (hq oldes
if four children which Arnold's secern
vife 3IisS Shippotv of Ph,iladephiu,bere hii;
is.: James Robertson, Edward, Georg,
and Sophia. His first wife bore three sons
viz. Benedict, liiehard, and Henry.—Ben
edict the oldest was an officer of artilar
in the British army, and, it is believe©
was compelled to quit the service; he diet
young in the West Indies. Henry enter
ed tfee King’s service after his father's de
faction, and was a lieutenant of cavalry ii
the. African Legion. 'He a companies
his father to St. John, and was employe!
in his -business. He.slepf in the ware
house .liear the Lower Cove in that city
and lodged theve tliat night the buildiui
was burned, tfa lived afterwards at Troy.
New York, with feis Aunt Hannah, anc
was engaged in mercantile pursuits. At :
subsequent periqd, jfa removed to Canada,
where.he is iiow r a 141HR of property. Ht
received half pay“ and a grant of land.*
from tho British' ggypn;ment. Richard :
—In 1782 lie was'filso a lieutenant" of cav
alry in the American Legion, commanded
by his father. In most every particular
his histoy is iudentieal with that of hi.*-
brother Henry. Persons are tjll living af
St. John \riio resided there wheg Gener
al Ar-goid’s stprp w as burned. The im
pression was, ‘at the moment, and still is.
that the fire was caused by design, apd fo J "
the purpose of defrauding a company in
England, that had underwritten upon the
merchandise which it coutaiupd, to an
amount faii exceeding its worth. These
pei'sons differ as to the fact, whether Ar
nold hiyiself w'as at St. John, or absent in
England, at• the tune of the lire; and
hence the degree of blame which should
fee attached to the two sons may be un
certain. That both Henry and Richard)
slept in the store on-the-night of the con
flagration, and that neither coiikl give
satisfactory account' of its cause, seems
howeypr, fa be certain.
J.nuqs Robertson, wliose recent death is
mentiond above, was the only one of the
four cliildranwhich-thc tfaifac’s second wife,
bore him, that was born jn America. AC
the time of the treason he w'ps'a child, and
had just reached West Point from Phila
delphia, with his mother. He entered
the British army in 1-798, and-rose to the
rauk-of Colonel of Engineers.. He was
stationed at Bermuda from 1816 to T8-18,
and from the last naiued year until 1823,
wfts at Halifax, and the commanding of
ficer of enginee^rin Nova rieptfa and New
BrunsiViclv WBile thus.in command he
was*at St. John, and on going into the
house built by his father* in King street;
(which is Still standing,) h© wept like a
child. HP WO# ft small mftn, his eyes were
of remarkable sharpness, and in features
bore a strinkling rescmblanpe to his father.
A gentleman who has be-:n in service with
him, and was intimately acquainted with
him, speals of hiin in high terms of com
mendation, and relates that he has often
heard him express a strong desire to visit
the United States. Since the excession of
Queea Victoria he has been one of herMa-
jority’s- aids-de-camp. In 1841 he was
transferred from, the engineer corps; and
appointed Mftior.General, and a Knight
ofthe Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order.
Edward; the next son, was some years
•ago in a. baiikitig house in England.—
George,‘in 1816, was an officer of dra
goons- Sophia—of her fate nothing is
known. It rnay be added that fho first Gen
eral'Arnold’s mother iiad six children, of
whom he and his faster Hannah" alone liv
ed to the years of maturity- This sister
ad beared to her brother Benedict through
out his eventful and guilty career,‘"and Was
true to hi (a iu the darkest periods of bis
history. She died at Montague, fa Up
per'Canada, in 1803, and was uniformly

The word “Statistics,' was originated:by
Sir John Sinclair, of Scotland, during the
first part of the present century. r He also
first exemplified the irn^orfance of the seir
euce—for it is now nojesa fhaua stofapee—
by publishing the most complete tabular
view of the condition of Scotland, (hat was
ever given of Any oountoy. Since that,
fhe value, of aeurate statistical knowledge
has been mo.ro and more 'appreciated, and,
eomsequontly the knawledge ifaqlf more
extensiyely gathered. Now, indeed, near
ly every-Jhing that, can be . numbered or
measured, is made the subject- of minute
inquiry and .careful registry, What were
fonnoly considered pure accidents, and so
exeuipt from all syfaeln, or contingent tri
fles, and so beneath notice, have been
shown under the statistician’? arrangement
to be the products of genoraLlaws, aud to
have a real and sj'steilric bearing up m the
welfare of man. '
