THE WAYNESBORO NEWS SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER, 16th, 1858 Salutatory. In commencing the publication of a newspaper, we are aware of the laborious and responsible po- sition we occupy. But no other than a common interest has prompted us to undertake the enter prise, and to no influence are we pledged, nor will we take sides with any party or parties. The News, shall be essentially a news paper—to the man of business we wisli to afford an agreeable and useful companion, one that lie will greet with a hearty welcome and feel hand of his family. We shall keep up such public taste require, and cotemporaries where we pleased to place in Ilie correspondence as the avoid all disputes with can do so consistently with our own feelings. Our columns shall be open to all, when communications are not of a vicious or personal character; we look to public support only from what we practice, not what we may be expeted to profess. It is becoming very common for every party, every sect and every ism, to have its organ, but the " News” shall be the organ of Burke County, and not of any party. Literature, Arts and Sci ence, can have their expressions through our col umns, if any individual lias an object to accom plish, a theory to advance and advocate, lie can have an oppertunity to explain and defend his views. The school-house and the printing office rise to gether. No sooner does a cluster of log cab ins arise in the wilderness, than in one of them you hear the click of the type and the rattle of the press. An American could no more live without his newspaper than he could witliout his liberty. It is true that all is not wheat that is thus scat tered broadcast, many ‘ tares mingle with the good seed'' but, the bane carries its antidote with it.— It is essential to truth that it should struggle for supremacy, and where there is no restriction to free discussion, the truth is sure to prevail. Opin ions are like gunpowder—confined, they explode with violence, rending everything around them; exposed to tlie open air they do no harm, and as Hie newspapers contain a little of everything it fol lows that the reader must accumulate a good stock of general information, which is found to be the case. Let an educated man converse with anoth er, who lias no source of information, but his Bi ble and his newspaper, on any topic of public in- terest, and lie cannot fail to be struck with the justness of his views, and tlie respectable charac- ter of his information. Newspapers are tlie safety-valves of society, there are many useful men in every community who would be almost nuisances to themselves and their friends, and perhaps dangerous to society, were it not for the knowledge gained simply from news- papers. Go on then, mighty engine, fed by strong minds and liearts', multiply thy rays of light, rays tliat penetrate the darkest corners, carrying joy to tlie hearth-stone and intelligence to tlie benighted; thy pulsations are felt by sympathetic millions, thy might is undeniable. It will be expected of us to lay before tlie read ers of the “News," tlie position we intend to oc cupy; this we will do briefly. We intend to pur sue an independent course. We shall not hesitate to express our opinions upon any and every ques tion that may demand it, but shall do so boldly and fearlessly. Public men and public measures shall receive our aid and support, so long as we believe them deserving it. But all schemes to defraud, directly or indirectly, either tlie Federal or State interest, shall meet with our unqualified and uncompromising opposition. We intend to do our duty as Journalists, hon- estly and faithfully, to the best of our ability, it we fail, let such failure lie attirbuted to the head and not the heart. We are determined to do all that is ii our power to prosper your interests as well as our own. We do not expect to please all of our readers in every respect—1 ut it shall be our aim to obtain tlie good wishes and respect of all good citizens, caring little for the opinions of the bad and vicious. As we do not like to promise too much, all we ask is a fair trial, and let the future show for its The Burke Guards. On the 2d lust., the ears of the quiet cit izens of Waynesboro were delightfully greet ed with patriotic strains of martial music, while their eyes dwelt with pride and pleas ure upon their beautiful and gallant military company —the " Burke Guards" —as they performed with creditable precision the vari- ous etolutions of arms and company maneu vers through our streets. It being their regular time for target shooting, the compa ny soon directed their march to the beautiful town-common, where they exhibited consid erable skill in the practical use of the Rifle, The first prize, a silver medal, was borne off by 1st Sargent Lewis. The second, a beau tiful plume, by private Reed. The next pa rade occurs at this place again, on the third Saturday in November, when it is likely a Flag will be presented to the company by one of the patriotic matrons of old Durke. The “ Burke Guards” is a Rifle composed at present, of some seventy corps, mem- bers. Uniformed precisely as tlie Rfle Corps of the U. S. Army. It was organised under the command of Capt. John T. Brown in 1849, and continued under tlie command of that accomplished officer, until be moved| from the county, when his place was most admirably filled by the election of their pres ent gallant Captain, W. C. Musgrove. Up to the present time, tlie parade ground of the “Guards” was at Bark-Camp, but as the company is now composed mostly of citizens of Waynesboro and vicinity, besides it being generally conceded by all, that the county- seat was the most legitimate and proper place for parade, it was agreed tliat for the future this latter place should be the parade ground. Tlie town-common affords a most beautiful field for military operations, being several acres in extent and remarkably level. This beautiful military company of Burke should receive every possible support and en- couragement from the citizens of the county, both with a view to preserve a military spi rit amongst us, and more particularly to be prepared in an emergency to quiet any dis content that might be brought about by the hellish machinations of itinerant abolitionists among our very large slave population.—- While we are perfectly aware of tlie frequent tamperings witli our slaves by these misera ble, inhuman “ scrubs," why should we be satisfied and feel safe to patiently wait to catch these villians to give them the usual coating of tar and feathers, instead of being likewise prepared to meet any successful ef forts of theirs with our slaves. Why, the very presence of a well organised and efficient military corps in our midst, would, in all probability, be sufficient to deter and keep in perfect subjection, tlie whole slave popula tion of Burke county, where they number greater, we believe, than in any other coun ty in the State. Apart from the probable utility of a military company in the county, what could speak more for tlie intelligence, patriotism and refinement of its citizens, than such an exhibition of public spirit ? Then let us encourage and give all necessary aid, requisite to keep up an efficient military company in our county. The “ Burke Guards” are greatly in want of a military Hall and camp equipage. Will not the generous and patriotic citizens of old Burke come forward and subscribe liberally to this end? We should be greatly pleased to see the ladies of our county enlisted in this noble cause. Remember helpless wo man, it is to you more particularly, the sol dier offers such protection. It is true of your sex, tliat in time of peace, when pestilential ravages, and the destroying angel takes the place of tlie horrors of war, death by tlie sword, and man lays prostrate upon tlie bed if sickness with horrid disease preying on| his bed-ridden frame, we say it is true, that ve then look to you for that tender care, and unceasing and never tiring watchfulness overI Jenny Woodbine. We are gratified to say to the readers of the News that we have engaged the services of the well known and talented writer, "JENNY Wood bine,” to write for our columns; read the beatiful story in this issue, from her pen—also, that chaste and sublime Poem « The Dying Artist," from the Bainbridge Argus. She will continue to contri bute to the News in future. L The Sheriff’s Sales of Burke County, will be published in this paper, in future. BWe have labored under disadvantages in getting matter for tills issue, as we haven't any exchanges yet, which accounts for our lack of news items. Cotton Market. SAVANNAH, Oct, 15, Our circular closes upon a depressed market, with but little demand, and an anxiety on the part of holders to sell. The transactions of the day foot 533 bales, In the peculiar condition of our market it is difficult to present reliable quotations, though those we offer seem to represent the current prices of to-day, as well as can be done under the circum stances. Prices ranging from 11 1-4 to 12 1-8. AUGUSTA, October 14, COTTON.—Sales reported this morning 1087 bales—Prices still tend downward, and 111-2 was the highest rate that Middling Fair would bring this morning. Mr. Blifkins’ Baby. Babies are great institutions, but. that first baby was the greatest of all. As soon as he came into this “breathing world,” as the late W. Shakspear has it, lie took command in house. Everything was subservient to The baby was the balance wheel that ulated every thing. He regulated the our him. reg- tem- perature he regulated the food, he regulated the servants he regulated me. For the first six months of that precious existence he had me up on an average six times a night. “Mr. Blifkins," says my wife, “bring that light here, do; the baby looks strangely; I’m so afraid it will have a fit” Of course the lamp was brought, and of cours the baby lay suck ing his fist like a little white bear as he was. “Mr. Blifkins,” said my wife, "I think I feel a draught of air; I wish you would get up and see if the window, is not open a little, because baby might get sick, "Nothing was mattea witli the window, as I knew verry well. "Mr. Bilfkins, "says my wife just as I was going to sleep again, "that lamp as you have placed it, shines directly in the babys eyes -strange that you have no more consideration. I arranged the light and went to bed again. Just as I was dropping to sleep again, “Mr. Blifkins, ” said my wife, “ did you thik to buy that broma to day for the baby ? “ My dear, said I, “will you do me tlie injustice to believe that I could overlook a matter so essential to the comfort of that inestimable child? ' She apologised veryhand- somely, but made her anxiety the scape goat. I forgave her aud without saying a word more to her I addressed myself to sleep. “Mr. Blifkins, "said my wife shaking me, “you must not snore so, you will wake tlie ba- by." Jest so—jest so, said Ihalfasleep, think; ing I was Solon Shingle. “Mr Blifkins,” said my wife, "will you get up and hand me the warm gruel from tlie nurse lamp for baby? the dear child! if it wasn’t for his mother I dont know what he would do. How can you sleep so, Mr. Bilfkins? “I suspect my dear, said, "I that it is because lam tired.” “Oh, it’s very well for you men to talk about being tired, ” said my wife; "I don’t know what you'd say if you had to toil and drudge like a poor woman witli a baby." I tried to soothe her by telling her she had no patience at all, and got up for the posset. Having aided in answering the baby’s requirements, I stepped into bed again, with the hope of sleeping. "Mr, Blifkins, ’’said my wife. I made no answer. “Mr. Blifkins, said she in a louder key. I said nothing. “Oli dear, "said that inestimable woman in great apparent anguish, "how can a man, who has arrived at the honor of a live baby of his own sleep when he don’t know that tlie dear crea ture will live to see morning: ’I remained si- The following correspondence is said to have taken place between a New Haven merchant and one of his customers. ‘Sir—your account has been standing for two years: It must be settled immediately.’ To which in reply, ‘Sir—Things usually do settle by standing I regret that my account is an axception.— If it has been standing too long suppose you let it run a little,’ “Read the biographers of our great good men and wamen," says an exchange, "not one of them had a fashionable mother. They nearly all sprung from plain, strong-minded women, who had as little to do with fashions as with changing clouds.” A corpulent clergyman rose at a public dinner to return thanks, which lie did by laying his hands upon his stomach and say- nig: "We thank thee for these blessings so bountifully spread, and for our capacity to enjoy them.” When the Irishman first tried peaches, he said he liked the flavor, but the seeds lay hard on his stomach'. Squibbs wants to know if doctors, by look, ing at the tongue of a wagon can tell what ails it. Vhen a man is always sneering at and saying derogatory things of women, it is a sure sign that he always associated with [the most degraded of the sex. A country girl coming from the field was told by her cousin that she looked as fresh as a daisy kissed by the dew. ‘Well, it was not any feller by that name, but it was Steve Jones that kissed me; I told him that every one in town would find it out. An attorney before a bench of magistrates a short time ago, told the bench with great gravity, that he had two witnesses in court in behalf of his client, and they would be sure to speak the truth, for he had no oppor tunity to communicate with them !’ NEWSPAPERS Widow’s Rights.—A Ver mont Judge of Probate lias incorporated it as a part of the law of his court, that the administrator of an estate must allow the widow the cost of a newspaper she to make her own selections, from the common fund. The common law of America now recogni ses the newspaper as a family and individual necessity It is classed with pigs and potato es, cassimere and calico, a thing to be ex empted—like the family, Bible—never to suffer from rapacious creditors, to be parted with in the direct poverty. so ‘Sam why am lawyers like de fishes? ,I don,t meddle witli tliat subject Pomp" Why, don’t you see nigger, kaze they am fond of debate.’ Why can’t a captain of a vessel keep a memorandum of the weight of his stead of weighing it every time port? A negro woman soon after having anchor in. he leaves experien- elan. Dleasuses they are but bursting bubbles- Not so in the untried bourne. In the dwelling of the Almighty can come no footsteps of decay. Its day will know no darkness: eternal pleasure forbids the approach of night. Its fountains will never Sil- they are fresh from the eternal throne its glory will never wane for there is the ever present God.

We find the following paragraph in the Augusta Constitutiondist, paying the highest compliment to our fellowtownesman, Gen. J. B HAYNE, Uni ted States' Consul, at Turks Island; the Constitu- tionalist says: “ We are indebted to J. B. HAYN E, esq., Consul nt Turks Island, for a copy of the “Royal Stand- ard and Gazette of the Turks and Caicos Islands," of the 11th of September. Among the special no tices in tlie Standard we find the following :" “Captin George Conway, of tlie American brig antine E. Drummond, which arrived at this port on the 19th of A ugust, after having been on shore on a reef, off the Caicos Island—is at a loss for words to express to General James B.

Woman is then powerless, then in her helpless condition, her appeals to the brave hearted soldier renders him invincible. Such is tlie helplessness of woman in times of war, she looks to the strong arm of the sol dier as her only security from danger. Now none of these awful events may ever trans- taken my head for the pillow, which she cus tomarily used for a nocturnal pincushion. I protested against such treatment in somewhat round terms, pointing to several perforations in my forehead. She told me I should willing ly bear such trifling things for the sake of tlie baby. I insisted upon it that I didn’t think my duty as a parent to that young immortal re- ced religion stole a goose to make merry witli her consort, from a neighboring plantation. Of course she was whipped for the good of others as well as of herself. Soon after these circumstances, a communion was to take place in the neighborhood, and Dinah prepared to go. Her mistress remonstrated with her, and mentioned tlie goose affair as a sufficient reason for her not to offer herself on such a holy occasion; to which she replied. ‘Lor, Missus.

"Because," said.the husband, “I am so much away from home, on business,and have so little use in taking tlie paper." "Yes," replied she, it may be but little use to you, but it is of great use to me. I remain at home, while you discontinue tlie paper. I will go straight to town and subscribe for it myself."
