The Lost Mexico* City.
“A large city once stood hie; its name Is lost, its
history unknown; for centuries it lias been as com
pletely buried as if covered with the lava of Vesttvi&a.”
BY “ftEV. T. HEMPSTEAD.
Far away within the glowing
Valleys of the sun’s domain,
Where Pomona’s hands o’erflowing,
Drown in bloom the tropic plain,
With the mocking smile of summer
Hound its crumbling columns shed,
Barred from toil and traffic s murmur,
Lies a city of the dead:
Lies a vast and silent city,
Nameless city of the dead.
Round about, like monarch’s reigning,
Rise the old woods green and tall,
With their crown that knows no waning,
With their thick and tangled wall,
With tlieir long, dark aisle’s that never,
Wake to human voicejor tread;
Green they stand, —their gloom forever
Locks the city of the dead ;
Locks the vast and silent city,
Nameless city of the dead.
Once these voiceless streets resounded
With the rush of surging throngs;
Hero life’s free, wild pulses bounded
To the sound of flutes and gongs;
Here, ’mid pomp and trumpet’s clamor,
Was the battle banner spread,
Tramp of toil and clang of hammer
Shook the city of the dead;
Shook the vast, tumultuous city,
Now the city of the dead.
Here the sun shone on the lances,
As the warring hosts rolled by,
And the fount’s pellucid glances
Answered childhood’s lustrous eye;
All are gone—the mirth, the anguish,
Groan of slave and kingly head,
And the strength and glory languish
In the city of the dead;
In the vast and silent city,
Nameless city of the dead.
Here the keen eyed panther, prowling,
lloteg tiie mouldering haunts of men,
And the haggard wild wolf, howling,
* With the adder makes his den ;
On crushed arch and mossy column
Falls the tiger’s bloody tread,
And the owlet’s cry rolls solemn
Trough the city of the dead;
Through the vast and silent city,
Nameless city of the dead.
Old .Yoke < Verwilieil,
At Church, Joe says his manly heart
With true devotion swells,
Disproving that, —as some assert, —
He’s led there by the Belle’s ;
While Jane, the happiest of coquettes,
d\ hose eye no sorrow dims,
Most piteously employs her time,
In looking for the llims.

Mr. Randolph oil Women and
Servants.
Charlotte C. H., Va., Nov., 1858.
I send you a copy of a peculiar produc
tion of one of the most peculiar of men—
the Hon. John Randolph of Roanoke. It
is a faithful copy of the original, which
was read as evidence in the celebrated le
gal proceedings instituted to set aside the
last Will and Testament of Mr. Randolph,
on the ground of his being non compos. —
The incident which elicited the strange
medley was as follows : He had been visit
ing in this village at the house of a friend,
and after his return he missed his pocket
knife. A messenger was at once sent from
his plantation at Roanoke, distant about
ten miles; and when the knife was not
found, a very free expression of sentiment
was indulged in, to tiie effect that Jasper,
the “little yellow boy,” bad pocketed it.
Messengers were sent twice respecting the
lost article before it was found, and a spe
cial dispatch, as below, when it came to
light.
It may add something to the interest of
this communication to say that mv resi
dence is now in the same house at “which
Mr. Randolph was a guest, and that I have
many times occupied the bedroom he in
sisted he had lost the knife in, but in bliss
ful ignorance of the celebrity who had pro
ceeded me. Jasper, the “vellow boy,” is
yet living near here, a faithful old slave,
who can tell many things of interest re
specting the eccentric guest of his old Mas
ter M. ;
Roanoke, Saturday, \
Dec. 17, 1831—12 1-2. ’ 5
Dear M : On taking out mv chari
ot this morning for the tirs t time since I
got home from your house, to clean it and
the harness (for this dreadful spell of
weather lias froze us all up until to-day),
the knife was found at the bottom of the
carriage, where it 111117 1 have dropped fr m
a shallow waistcoat \ ocket, as 1 got in at
your door, for 1 missed the knife soon af
terward. When 1 got home I had the
pocket of the chariot searched, and every
thing there taken out, and it was r ■: un
til John had s arched strictly ini . im, • n
manteau and bag, taking out every article
therein, tlx ] bet amo .fully cot Inc- i <.
what I was before pcrieet-ly per-irkh and
that 1 had kit the knife in mv chamber
your house on Tuesday, the Oth ; and win n
I heard it had nut 1 . n s-. -m, 1 took it jk r
granted that your Jittl * yellow, b y having!
found it, had, ace riling to the negro e and- !
of morality, appropriated it to himself In
this, it seems, 1 was mistaken, and 1 ask
his pardon, as the best amends I can make
him ; and, at the same time, to relieve
you and Mrs. M. from the unpleasant feel
in*g such a suspicion would occasion, I dis
atch this note by a special messenger, al
though I have a certain conveyance to- j
morrow. i
“ I make no apology to yourself or Mrs. :
M. for the frank expression of my suspi- j
cion, because Truth is the goddess at whose
shrine I worship; and no Huguenot in
France, or Morisco in Spain, or J udaizing
Christian in Portugal, ever paid more dear
ly for his heretical schism, than I have done
for leaving the established Church of False
hood and Grimace. lam well aware that
ladies are as delicate, as they are charming
creatures, and that in our intercourse with
them we must strain the truth as far as
possible. Brought up from our earliest in
fancy to disguise their real sentiments (for
a woman would be a monster who did not
practice this disguise), it is their privilege
to be insincere, and we should despise them,
and justly too, if they had that manly
frankness which constitutes the ornament
of our character as the very reverse does of
theirs. We must, therefore, keep this in
view in our intercourse with them, and re
collect that as our point of honor is cour
age, and frankness, theirs is chastity and j
dissimulation : for, as I said before, a wo
man who does not dissemble her real feel
ings, is a monster of impudence. Now,
therefore, it does so happen (as Mr. Can
ning would say) that truth is very offen
sive to the ears of a lady, when to those of
a gentleman (her husband for instance) it
would not be at all so.
“To illustrate, Mrs. R—-— • of B ,
my brother’s widow, was beyond all com
parison the nicest and best housewife I
ever saw. Not one drop of water was ev
er suffered to stand upon her sideboard,
except what was in the pitcher ; the house
from cellar to garret, and in every part, as
clean as hands can make it, and everything
\ as it should be, to suit even my fastidious
taste. I lived there after my brother’s
death, from 1 1 96 to 1810 inclusive, and
never did I sec’ or smell anything to offend j
my senses or my imagination hut once. —
Except in Autumn, I would defy any one
to find a leaf or a leather in the yard. No
| poultry were permitted to come into it,
j and \\e hud li udu iy children, white or ne
gro, to make litter or filth. A strong en
closure of swan plank, eight feet high,
fenced in the kitchen, smoke-house, ice
house, meat-house, wood-house, in which
the wood for the use of the house was
stacked away under lock and key. The
turkey and hen-house were in the same en
closure, which had two doors, one next the
dwelling house, for the use of the mistress
and house-servants, and one large enough
to admit a wagon on the back or north
side, beyond which was a- well-built quar
ter, with two brick chimneys, and two
rooms with fire places, and four rooms
without, for servants. There was also
(what 1 had forgot) a spinning and weav
ing house.
“At night the door of this inclosure was
locked up—not a servant being allowed to
sleep within it, although every one of them
was within sound of the lady’s bell.
“011 one unhappy day, in a very hot’and
damp spell of weather of long continuance,
a piece of cold lamb was brought to table
that was spoiled—the first and last instance
in nearly fifteen years of the slightest neg
lect in household economy. I ordered the
servant to take it away, it being spoiled.
Mrs. R. resented this, and flatly contradic
ted me and although the lamb absolutely
st | ate a part of it to prove her
w , and was affronted with me al
m forgiveness. I dare say if I had
not ed the lamb she might have given
a hint . Ac* servant to take it away ; but
the honest naked truth was not to be borne.
We had no company but D. and her young
er son, three schoolboys, and an English
man named Knowles, who acted as over
seer or steward, and dined with us until
he took to drink. Mrs. R. stoutly denied
that t ! •’ iamb could be spoiled, because it
had*'becn boiled only the day before, and
had been in the ice-house ever since. I
admitted her facts, but denied her logic ,
which was truly a woman’s. I maintain
ed that the highest evidence was that of
the senses ; that we must reason from
tacts, when we could get at them, and it
was only when we could not, that it was
tail - to argue from probabilities, that the
lamb stunk, and therefore was not sound.
1 his she denied, and to prove her words,
actually made a shift to swallow half a
mouthful, which under other circumstances
she would not have done for a thousand
dollars.
“ So much for the Indies, charming crea
tures, the salt of the earth, whom, like
1 Tohy and all other old bachelors, 1 never
could thoroughly understand for want of
the key ot matrimony, which alone can un
lock their secrets and make plain (as many
a husband can tell,) all the apparent con
tradictions in their character. Yes, so
much for the fairer and better part of crea
tion, (as from my soul I believe them to
be.) but who, as the A averly man savs of

but money, with which he will buy whisky.

Truly yours, “J. R., of Roanoke.”

New Year in Washington.
Washington, Dec. 31, 1858.
With the close of this dreary winter day
another year sinks down into the ocean of
eternity—another revolution of our orb is
added to the long roll of ages passed away,
and the heavens, in tears, are weeping over
it. Death, with his keen scythe, ever re
morselesslv swinging, lias mown him anew
harvest; while Nature, ever bountiful, has
followed on behind him, sowing still anew
and a larger crop of life. Another spring
has gone to sleep in the warm lap of sunr
mer ; another summer falling into Au
tumn’s fading arms has withered away and
died ; another Autumn has perished in the
icy grasp of winter ; and now another Win
ter stands fearfully trembling, with one
foot on eternity’s confines, and the other
on those of time. 80 it has been since
man - was moulded by the Almighty ; so it
will be until the last trumpet shall be
heard sounding its sad dirge over time.
THE IST OF JANUARY, 1851).
Os gayetv and grief, strange mixture, in
deed, is this old world of ours. On this
New Year’s morning many a young heart
is heating wildly with hope of joy and rev
elry ; many a young eye, seeftig naught
spread out before it but tlowers, fresh and
fragrant, beams brightly as that of eager
traveler climbing up a vine-clad mountain
to greet the rising sun ; and then, again,
many a lone heart is swelling with over
fiow of suffering—many an eye, dimmed
with bitter tears, gazes with deep and
, dread emotion on the grim and gloomy
pi avals which lead into the mysterious val
ley of the shadow of death.
THE GRAVE-YARD.
In this lone grave-vard, in the shadow’
of this mouldering monument, in the shade
of this gloomy cypress, what form is that?
Hush ! tread now lightly, and disturb not
that sorrow ; for ’tis too sacred far, and too
solemn to be lightly disturbed ; bent as the
WITT lore (1 nw-ucc vyT.UCU donaidniy
beside her, with cheek moist as the cold
clay to which you see it is pressed, with
the qjq of her innermost soul peering
through that grave-mound, seeking res
ponsive look from him wdio sleeps beneath,
a weeping wife and mother mingles her
sorrowful wailings with the cold winds of
winter, as they mournfully sweep by.—
Tread lightly ; disturb her not; let us pray
that Clod may grant that agonized heart
relief.
But again : AYhat other form is this ?
Alas 1 there is more sorrow for us to wit
ness yet. With face pallid as the marble
toward which it is turned, with lips com
pressed and quivering, with arms listlessly
hanging beside him as he leans against
that tomb, see that strong man struggling
with a torn heart’s agony ; see, a scalding
tear is trickling clown liis wasted cheek. —
In the clays of her young womanhood, in
health and hope and happiness, w ith the
w orld bright before him, and no sorrow to
shade bis path, lie took into bis heart’s
home her over whose remains now he
weeps ’ but time passed, and want came,
ancHhen sickness ; and she died on his bo
som, her last look being into his eye, lier
last word into his ear, the last pressure of
her bloodless fingers on. his pale and tor
tured brow'. Disturb not him either, but
let us ask of the God of Heaven relief for
him too.
REVELRY.
What sound is this ? ’tis the echo of
sweet music, and of merry voices singing
a joyous roundelay. In or care nor thought
is here of the world’s woes or miseries, nor
gloomy thoughts about the future, nor
sorrow for the past.
THE CALL.
See, here are women gavly dressed and
jauntlv, squeezing their crinoline up that
flight of stairs ; let us follow them, but
keep clear of the rims of the roundabouts,
they are steel defended, and il’ you tres
j pass on them they will cut you to the
! quick. All ! here is a sight to put grave
yards and weeping widows, eypresset and
inconsolable widowers out of your head. —
Here are pyramids of confectionery instead
of obelisks of cold marble : here is a good
sea Coal tire instead of the cold earth of the
grave ; here are merry voices instead of the
moans of the winter's wind ; and see that
lady who ],reside s ; how brilliant she looks
in pearls and poplin, ringlets and rouge.
TIGHT.

OLD BUCK AND SECRETARIES.
If you had not got tight so soon, we 1
w ould have carried you to see old Buck,
and he’d have given you a Democratic
stimulant of Monongahela from his native
State, with Lecompton bitters added, if
you preferred them. A\ e would have car
ried you to the Secretary of War’s too, and
no doubt if we said that one from old Vir
ginia wanted to introduce you, he’d un
cork his demijohn of Bourbon, or Sumner
Been, or Mountain Dew. and treat you un
til peace or war would he all the same to
you. We would have carried you to the
Secretary of the Navy’s too, where you
could get a flagon that you could float in ;
or to Thompson’s who would fill your in
terior to your satisfaction ; or to Brown’s,
where you could get wine until you could
not distinguish one letter from another; or
to Cass’, where you could get into a glori
ous state ; or to Cobb's , where you could
get enough to corn you, or to —but that
will do.
We don’t mean to insinuate that any of
these great folks ever take a single drop.
The.supply that we have described, they,
of course, merely put in for their New’
Year’s visitors.
Piccolomini.— deems Pipes [N. lb
of Pipesville] writes thus to the Boston
Post about the great, little songstress :
You’ve heard of “Pickled Hominy” of
course ; well, she has set all town crazy,
and half the country besides. She is a
jewel ; so is Gazzv neegor ; so is (lazy—a
—so is every body. Blit, my dear Kernel,
the criticisms, I mean the differences of
opinion, are most amusing ; the “highfalu
ten” styles, ete. I’ll give you a sample.—
One of last week’s journals lias the follow
ing : “Her (never mind who) voice is a
real or 12 1-2 cent contralto, of the purest
and most sonorous description. She goes
down, deny down, to the lower fe, ii, so,
sum in the basement, and up again to the
but, above the clothes line of the soap-rain
oh ! Thus embracing an extent of tw T o
octavians (well-played by Edwin Booth,
who had a cottage next to me in Califor
nia) in the Montaineers—and a half. The
first Register was probably made in the
City Hall, many years ago, and began at
the lower or far end of the building, and
reaches so far into the middle.
She from the first struck us hard, but
did not hurt us ; her voice, gurgling up as
it does from the innermost depths of her
resplendent buzzum ; frizzled in dreamy
voluptuousness through the warbling ca
dences of her matchless organ (barrel) sat
isfying ns that it was a laintralto of the
purest order. Her inverted distances are
really immense, and the ease with which
the roolards v of the indefinite sth, coming
on the dominant, are worked, so that the
mezzotinto (Dick!) quality is artless]v
swollen m the inverted passage, taking in
its compass, four flutes, two o-boys, one
drum of figs from Symrna, and eight flag
ellations. Again—“ She sings ‘H’ with
perfect distinction, and her low A was very
tine indeed. Her snake resembled the feath
ery flicking of some ortumnal ben, or bird,
as it glides through the adamantine mean
dering of some ornithological mca'dow,
while her sustanooto died away upon the
left ear like the magic humming of a large
or mellifluous ‘bee’ (Boston.) Her shake
outlie prominent Key of K minor left us
nothing more to desire, and her cadence as
she took the Major Cord E on the and ant y
ajfctuso con amove allegro and, infinitum
epluribus unum numepuam non paratus
made IK Marvel.
Loafers in a Printing Office.— ln
former days, when we carried on Printing
Office, we were annoyed at night, hy loaf
ers, coming to warm, and spend the night,
and keep others from work. We now do
our work in day time, and neither burn
fuel or candles, or harbor loafers. If, in
d,;y time, any loafers should visit us, we
shall politely inform them that a Ik'lhting
} Otfide is not the place to smoke cigars, and
! tell long stories, or relate the gossip of the
town. Interlopers, hangers on and twad
dlers, have no business in a composing room.
They interrupt the discipline of the office
—cause loss of time, Avhich is gold to the
printer. Gentlemen of reflection, and in
dustry, never presume to enter a printing
office to chit chat, and interrupt others,
j All men whose feelings are worth respect
ing, feel above such conduct, and will not
trifle with the time and duties of others.
The loafers do both, and therefore have no
right to except to bedealt with in model- .
I ation. It is bad enough for the Editor to
be bored with loafers, and compelled to.
drop his pen and exchanges, and keep up a
show of politeness in talking about what
lie feels no interest in ; hut when the loaf
j ers thrust their unwelcome presence into
the composing room, to annoy a quiet and
peacahle set of hands, it is too much to be
endured. Let men who have business inaj
printing office, go there, do that business, j
nnd tip their heavers like men, and leave
rile type-setter l<>ne in Ids glory. And
lei those who go there to talk, interrupt
others, and have no earthly business with
the office, be sliOAvn the door, and told the
the distance to the next house, stable or
cowlot ! —Knoxville Whiff.

OF THE
UPSON PILOT.
“The Union of the States—Distinct like the
billows, one like the Sea.”
rpHE undersigned proposes to publish in the town of
I. Thomaston, Upson county, Georgia, a Weekly Ta
per. to he called the UPSON PILOT.
The PILOT will be devoted to Politics, News and
Literature—to the development and advancement of
the AptcuUuwlj Mechanical, Manufacturing, Educa
tional and Mechanical pursuits of the people, and be
guided in its political course, not by the ever-changing
blue lights of modern Party leaders, hut by ihe fixed
Polar Star of the Constitution and the ancient land
marks erected by the sages and patriots of the Revolu
tion—the only charts which can save the Vessel of
State from shipwreck, and direct it into the harbor of
permanent national security. The further object of the
PlLOfi’ will be to correct error, enlighten ignorance, re
move prejudice, defend the light, uphold the truth and
to warn especially the American citizen against the ma
chinations of the Political Demagogue, who, under the
cloak of a stolen popu’ar name, wo ill# first flatter,
then deceive, next iietray aud at last destroy the no
blest Government (when purely and wisely administer
ed) w hich ever blessed the human race.
The PILOT, sleepless by his w ho I, with the stars of
his native South still bright over his head and a pnke
less ocean under his feet, will watch with ever anxious
gaze the black cloud (a short, time ago no bigger than
your band) but which, under certain evil influence*,
now overshadows the whole North and West— produc
ing alarm in every patriotic bosom for the salvation of
our glorious institutions. He would he faithless indeed,
if he failed to notice with withering condemnation the
guilty agents who wantonly and unwisely raised a storm
which they are unable to ride and control, leaving a
deceived and betrayed people exposed to its mmilm
Jury.
For additional information in relation to the opinions
and principles of the undersigned, he would ies|M‘ot
-I‘ully refer the readers of this Prospectus to the Edito
rial columns of that old and very respectable journal—
the Columbus Enquirer — from April, 1857, to .April,
1858.
The Press and mate! ials of the PILOT will be all
new, and the paper will he published in the best style
of the typographical art. We hope every friend of the
enterprise will exert himself to procure subscribers,
and send their names and Post-ollice to onr address at
Thomaston, Ga.

PROSPECTUS OF THE

GEORGIA EDUCATIONAL JOURNAL,
The Teacher's Assistant and Pupil’s Friend.
PL BLLSIIED every Thursday, in Forsyth, Geo., by
Wilkes, Y> ill)urn & Cos., at two dollars per annum,
in advance. ■” |-
The name of cur piper J indicates one of its most
j prominent features, fcjerertd fruitless t fivMs have been
j made to bring the power of (he now. 1 -paper press to
1 hear upon the great work of Common School Ik!ucn
’ lion. \Yhat ha.” been the cause of such signal fuKnrcs',
1 we will not presume to say ; but will boldly aftinu that
the difficulty has not been in the subject itself. Per
haps, Journals devoted exclusively to the bubjoct of
Education being issued only once a month, have not
been able to Keep pace with _the electric speed of
Young America : or they may have theorized to the
neglect of those great pigctical principles which must
regulate the development cf n? ; u<l in the South. How
ever, be this a: it may. the wide nfld of Education is
open, end, with a:i earnest desire to contribute an bum
ble part to the proportion of the intellectual ?nd moral
growth of the youth of our country, we send forth cur
“Journal.” the fruits of which wo trust will be as
,“ bread cast upon the waters.”
In religion and politics we expect to be independent,
condemning whatever we believe to be wrong, and
commending what we believe to be right.
‘1 he latest news will be furnished our Journal by an
arrangement which will give our readers all the advan
tages, in this respect, of the best weekly papers pub
lished in our re;-port cities.
i he Journal w ill not be devoted exclusively to Edu
cation, in its common acceptation, but will give atten
tion to at! the Sciences ami Arts, so as in part to meet
the wants of every family and every professional class
in our country.
To give interest and efficiency to our paper, we are
! engaging the services of aide writers—men deeply im
pressed with the necessity of a radical improvement in
| our present sytetn of Education.
We have employed an efficient Agent to visit every
part of the State for the purpose of collecting informa
tion upon Schools and Education. Hh will furnish the
1 Journal with occasional narratives of his navels, and
give to the public valuable educational statistics.
e Solicit a liberal share of patronage from those who
know the advantage of advertising, as they will find
the Journal a very desirable medium for extending
their business. We especially call the attention of the
citizens of Monroe to our advertising sheet. We are
publishing all the legal advertisements, and as the pa
l>er has'an extensive circulation in the county, we
think it is to the interest of our citizens to avail theni
selvesof our advertising advantages.
