THE TXPSO3ST PILOT.
G, A. MILLER, * * Editor.
ThomiLston, Thursday, March 31, 185#.
TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Several communications from our most
esteemed correspondents have this week
been crowded out. They shall appear as
Boon as possible.
A Portrait Drawn by a Demo
cratic Artist.
The*Atlanta Confederacy gives the fol
lowing full-length portrait of his Excellen
cy Gov. Joseph E. Brown. Well may
Gov. Brown exclaim, ‘ Curse such back
ing of friends, and if ye call this iriend
ship, please give us a little taste of your
hatred :
The Democracy of Fulton county are opposed, to
Joseph E. Brown, believing him a tyrant of the Tom
Thumb edition, of inferior capacity, an inflated eox
oornb, a vindictive iu*9, a conceited upstart, wholly de
void of sympathy or fellow-feeling, and guilty e? a
moet corrupt political bargain and sale.”
Now, if the Editor had capped
max of abuse by calling Gov. m a J'w*- ■
das and saying that the pea of Mkfeospy’
would write him a New o* €tfdigla„
and then the next minute esteft him i*
great South-saves, the of Pcma
cratic principles then have Wow
true to life and instinct \jitk gesaws. 2J,
however, as the Confederacy says, the GoA
of the Democracy of Georgia is a “ vindic
tive ass” we would respectfully ask if the
worshippers of his assiniue Majesty are

to keep an ass in the Governor’s chair.—
Order is nature's first law, and we do not
know’but a real,'slick-tailed, long-eared
ass is better as a ruler than one of your
woolly horses, half sheep and half ass and
a little touched with the snapping turtle.
A naked ass is bad enough, but one with
a lion's skin to cover his ears is too horri
ble to live.
Talbotton.
Our visit to'Talbotton last week, was of
the most agreeable character. Besides ad
ding largely to the circulation of the Pilot,
we brightened up the links which bind us
to many of our old friends and members
of the Bar. We were pleased to see our
respected Senator Iverson, looking hale
and lively as if unconscious of the barbed
arrows of his political friends Hying around
his head, and so many of his associates
dropping dead around him with the “dry
rot.” We confess a fondness for Senator
Iverson and wc believe that his manly,
courteous and consistent course has won
the respect even of his political foes. Ilis
opposition to the President's Army Bill
and Squatter and Alien Suffrage, will at
no distant day command the unanymous
approbation of the South.
We tarried with our old and respected
friend, Peter E. Dennis, Esq # of the Tal
botton Hotel. - Mr. Dennis is one of the
benefactors and civilizers of mankind for
our philosophy is, that unless men are
well clothed, housed and fed and especial
ly wear clean Bhirts and sleep on clean beds
that they are approximating to the savage
state. After staying a week with such a
landlord as Dennis, however mean you may
be, you must feel like a scholar and a gen
tleman—for good entertainment is worth
more than a thousand dull sermons to re
fine the charities and expand the benevo
lences of human nature. Never ask a fa
vor of a hungry man and never attempt to
make an impression on a hungry audience.
Conspirators from the days of Cassius have
been distinguished for lean and hungry
looks, and your good citizens always sleep
well of nights. Many a man has been hung
on account of a dyspeptic Judge or that
some Juryman might dine. Success say
we, to all good Landlords !
Judge H. G. Lamar, who was tempora
rily presiding won the universal love and
respect of the people by his great legal
abilities, his genial nature and exquisite
humor. The appreciation of this gentle
man by the Bar is contained in the follow
ing just and complimentary proceedings:
Talbot Superior Court, )
March Term, 1859. j
The members of the Bar present, at this
term of the Court, hereby tender to His
Honor Henry G. Lamar, presiding at the
term of the Court their thanks for his able
impartial and faithful administration of
the law and for his courtesy to the meni
l)ers of the Bar.

We acknowledge the receipt of a most
magnificent Boquet, sent us on last Tues- ;
day, by a young lady of Talbot county. — ;
Now, if we were single—but—well—yes—
we might do like hundreds jzL old tuicne

shirt wishing we w'ere happier than wre are
and the ladies more like angels; or we
might “pitch in” and find someone nei
ther Angel or Devil but a weak, frail wo
man, but better than we, because conscious j
of weakness and frailty. Old bachelors j
(not widowers or widows) in their estimate 1
of the opposite sex, always err like the
man who in riding his one-eyed horse over
a bridge, reined him so far from the blind
side that horse and rider went headlong
over the side where no danger was antici

good old coil [dot —
“ A little nonsense now and then,
Is relish’d by the wisest men.”
Tradition however says that the Bailiff
was remarkable for abstemiousness ; except
a slight hankering after dried beef, coffee
and segars on very particular occasions ;
and that the Prosecutor, then a “ Yount:
America” fond of sardines, oysters, wines
and segars, did then and there, like a cer
tain man recorded in Jewish History, envy
the simple fare and honors of his more hum
ble servant sitting at his feet, and then and
there, without any of the ostentation of ta
ble, napkins and sweet-scented water-bowls,
quietly munching his dried beef and smo

Constitution of the State or United States.
Wc would not say positively, hut we rath
er incline to believe that the whole affair
originated in “envy, hatred or malice,”
without the “fear of God” and with the
“instigation of the Devil” thereby literally
verifying that the Devil as well as God is
sometimes —“.
The record, bv* such parts as care be de
ciphered, reads as follows :

and “ engross” all the victuals then in market, viz’ :
dried beef, old ham. fresh fish, pancakes, coffee (and
especially segars) and did then and there, in the very
presence of your hungry Grand Jurors, and under the
shadow of this august Court, sit, stand and lie down,
and did then and there, in the most tantalizing man

racity of a Shanghai Rooster and the complacency of a

honorable and longing Grand Jurors, the fear of fam
ine in the County, and the certainty that the poor tax
es will be raised, — all of which actings and doings are
contrary to good economy and favor that extravagance
among officials, which has already brought even the
General Government to a state of utter bankruptcy.
And the Grand Jurors aforesaid, upon their oaths
aforesaid, do further present, that in consideration of
the foregoing wrongs, and for the relief of our suffer- !

Bad News from flic old North State.
The papers bring us some very unfavor- !
able accounts from the Old North State.— j
Pork is represented as being very poor.— ;
One man killed a hog, which did*not afford I
meat enough to stuff its own “internals.” j
While we were trying to reconcile this re
port with the common teachings of liogol
ogv, a friend came to our relief and solved
the matter as follows :
He said it was a well known fact that
the laws of North Carolina placed certain ‘

mode of procuring
barely afforded a support for the children;
consequently porkers must be debarred the !
luxury altogether, unless some means of
evading the laws were invented. There,
are always people sharp enough for this, \
even in North Carolina, and some genius
soon had a scheme in active operation.—
The plan was to construct a box —some-
thing like a martin-box —place it upon the
end of one of those'long pine poles, and
put the young porker in the box. The box
could then be introduced among the bran
ches of the persimmon trees, allowing the
pig to select such fruit as pleased his pal
ate, without making the owner responsi
ble for damage. By this means our tur
pentine friends always had a ‘mess’ of sau
sages and “souse” for a Christmas dinner,
sever failing until the past Christmas.
Our friend says further, that it is if well
known in North Carolina, that the
fest fell was unusually windy and stormy
go much so, indeed, that it precluded the

guktas to their usual happy and merry

history o e that State that will not soon be
easily obliterated.

deprivations through the Christmas holi
day*, he rejoice* to think that the supply

Matagorda Gazette.
We understand that the editor of the
Gazette lives on prairie dogs and wild crab
We understand why the Editor of the
Enquirer is so crabbed at the above. The
allusion to the Martin-box machine is a
decided personal hit. A man too, “who
lives on prairie dogs” has a constitutional
right to bark without being accused of any
disposition to bite. Ed. Pilot.
For the Upsou Pilot.
Death.
“ Death is the gate to endless Joy,
And wo dread to enter there.”
Deatli is the victor in every struggle with
his victim. The strong, weak, great and
small yield to his iron grasp.
“ Sceptre and crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor, crooked scythe and spade.”
The Christian does not dread what
awaits him in the portals of bliss ; yet
death has terrors he cannot avoid.
An immense crowd stood upon the bat
tle-field, equipped for action. The senti
nel cries “they come, they come.” The
enemy approaches, action commences, and
a bloody conflict ensues. For hours Fate
seems against them, but the fall of com
rades inspires them more strongly with a
spirit of vengeance, and behold they are
gaining upon their foe. See them as they
take a retrograde step. Another rush is
made and the day is won. “Victory!
Victory!” shout the conquerors. They
lay aside their armor and return to their
various employments of more private life.
But ere long each individual of this victo
rious band, meets with his conqueror, and
the name of that conqueror is death.
Death has visited almost every house
hold, all are bereaved by him, there are
some who have never lost a near relative,
but they have lost friends they dearly loved.
Many are the family circles tiiat have been
broken by him ; here a widowed father sits
with his children assembled around the
family altar, glances at the vacant chair of
his wife and heaves a deep sigh. And yon
der is a disconsolate widow, toiling up the
rugged hill of duty, the mainstay of the
family is gone. The management and care
of the family devolves upon her. With
cheeks pale and wan and a heavy heart,
she drops a tear in silence, to the memory
of him who has passed away.
And here is a family bereaved of their
dear little child, whose prattling feet and
sweet voice have so often gladdened their
hearts and pleased their eyes. They miss
him everywhere they go, at the fire-side
and table, his chair is vacant, his little bed
is unoccupied, and his toys unused. His
voice when he sang at evening, the little
lay you taught him, had more music for
your ear, than the deepest and richest ton
ed instrument you ever heaid. You will
often become so absorbed in thoughts of
him as to imagine you hear him sing, and
then feel him kneel beside you to repeat
his prayer, soon something arouses you, ;
and you wake to disappointment, lind that
it was only a dream of the past, and each
little Hillock as you pass by a house of the
dead, remind you of your lost one.
Piety, good deeds, charity, friendship,
faith, hope and love, are exempt from his
icy grasp.
“The garlands wither on your brow;
Then boast no more your mighty deeds,
Upon Death’s purple altar now,
See where the victor victim bleeds ;
All hands must couie
To the cold tomb, , |
Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in the dost.”
A person by his kindness and useful
ness, erects for himself a monument more
lasting than the tallest column of marble
that could bo-placed over his remains.
Disconsolate husband and wife, death
has not been as cruel, tvs you sometimes
think. He has taken your companion to a ‘
better land, in order to attract your atten
tion, to increase your desire for a home
there—where -your treasure is will
your heart be also. The angel ot death
sometimes goes abroad to coll cot gems, to
increase the brilliancy of the coronet he
has prepared for the faithful brow. Then
parents dry your tears, your child strikes
another lyre in heaven, adds another jew
el to the crown vou will one dav wear.
*ALMA.
Ridgeway on Modern Democracy.
The Richmond Whig, speaking of De
| mocratic Administration*, very truthfully
I says:
“In the days of Jackson, we witnessed
many and most dangerous usurpations ot
! power ; under the Administration of Van
Buren, we saw licentiousness and pecula
tion and low intrigue running riot ; under
Polk, we saw petty and braggart preten
sion, alternating with all the atrocities of
proscription, and both inflamed and eni-
Lbittered by the intensest rancor of party ;
under Pierce, we beheld imbecility, vacil
j lation, mousing, conscious inferiority and
I unconcealed servility ; it has been reserved
for this Administration to bring together,
in one huge Augean stable, the enormities
j of them all ; and to present to the world a
festering mass of corruption, profligacy
! and crime, such as we must search the
worst times of the worst governments in
history to find the equal of. We cannot
1 believe that the people of the U. States,
least of all the people'of Virginia, .[and
North Carolina,] are yet so sunk in vice, or
so besotted and blinded by partizan bigot
ry, as to be willing longer to be made the
dupes and victims of men who seek power
; only for their own vile ends, and who ca
ress and flatter the people only to plunder
and betray.”
Speaking of the prospects of the Oppo
sition in Virginia, the editor says :
“ But, before all, we confess that our
great hope is in the unconquerable and un
purchftsable fidelity to principle of the loy
al and gallant Whigs of the State. They
are fired with a spirit that cannot be re
sisted. Mighty, under a sense of long-con
tinued and accumulated wrong—mightier
still, in the justice of a glorious cause, they
are girding themselves for a struggle that
must overcome. For years they have borne
the contumelies and oppressions of an in
tolerant and proscriptive majority—they
have been excluded from all participation
in the affairs of government, except its ex
actions—they have seen the false and faint
hearted fall away—they have seen little
men set up to make their laws, and cor
rupt ones appointed to execute them—
they have seen politicians glorified as states
men, and demagogues honored as patriots
-—they have seen the harpies and vultures,
I the wild-dogs and wolves, congregated
! about Washington, and feeding on the gar
; b;ige of official and legislative corruption,
■ and they have striven with unavailing es
; fort to arouse the people to a sense of the
demoralizing and fatal tendency of these
things. Resisting for themselves the ever
! ready rewards of renagadeism, they have
held to their faith in adversities, and un
‘ der trials, and temptations, and grievan
| ees, that were too great for any but the
i sternly conscientious. Their patriot sires
of the revolution had trod the way before
them, and left memorial foot prints to
guide them. They, too, in a great cause,
had borne privations and indignities, sac
rifices and hardships. They, too, had con
tended against a paid and pampered sol
diery. They, too, had experienced the in
solence of an overbearing and arrogant foe.
But, animated by a sublime love of coun
try, and nerved by a martyr devotion to
liberty, they toiled and suffered and strug
gled on, till success crowned their efforts,
and peace and liberty rewarded their sac
rifices. The spirit that held them up and
bore them on has sustained the Whigs of
our day—and the victory that ended and
blessed their labors now awaits, as we trust,
I the lineal inheritors of their principles.
| “ Noble, gallant, incorruptible, and in
domitable Whigs of Virginia 1 [and equal
:ly noble and gallant of the old North
; State !] we honor you in our heart of
hearts. We reverently do homage to that
! spirit of stainless honor and unfaltering
loyalty—that dauntless courage and death
less patriotism, that have made you wor- j
thy to bear the name of the heroic men of
the revolution, and fit to transmit it, as
you will, to aftertimes, as the synonym oL
all that is high and grand and illustrious
in the conflicts of nations or of parties.”
Navy Yards.
lion. J. J. Crittenden, (the Naval ap
propriation bill being under consideration
in the Senate) rose in his place and said :
“I feel disposed to vote against all the
augmentations proposed for these Navy
Yards by the committee on Naval affairs.
Their useful operations ought to becontin
ued, as the Senator from Florida says ; but
there are some of the operations of these
yards that I think ought to be discontin
ued—l allude to their operations in the
elections of the country. \Ye have made
large appropriations for that purpose, it
seems. There is not a gentleman here who ‘
can doubt that the navy-yards have been
extensively employed in controlling popu
lar elections ; and how have they been en
abled to do it P It is by the employment
of men who were not necessary to the pub
lic service—the employment of men to vote
and not to work. That has been the use
to which the money we have appropriated ;
has, to no inconsiderable extent, been ap
plied. Is there any gentleman here who
can 98y that this is not the fact ? Fiselo
sures and proofs have been lately made on
that subject, which seem to me deny all
refutation \ to repel all idea of rctutatien.
I want that rebuked. I have no panic on
account of any scarcity of money at this
time, or the neediness of the Treasury.—
Whatever feeling of that description I have,
grows out of the extended corruption that
is now growing up, and which is fed and
fostered and brought into existence by the
money we have appropriated for the main
tenance of navy-yards. Every navy-yard
becomes a sort of political station, a pound,
in which you may impound doubtiul or
questionable or venal voters. 1 know that
is not the object, or any part of the pur
pose, of the honorable Committee on Na
val Affairs, or their members ;but yourlib
eralitv, your confidence, has been abused.
The great public right of suffrage has been
bought up with the money that you have
paid to maintain navy-yards. I want to
see it rebuked. I want to see it rebuked
even at some little material loss to the coun
try. If the navy-yards should sutler for
want of it, and something that is useful go
undone, one thing that is eminently useful
will be accomplished, and that is, corrup
tion will be rebuked in your navy-yards.
They will not have the money there any
longer, to maintain and feed needy voters,
preparatory to an election. I want that
rebuked. I think the reduction of these
appropriations, as proposed by the House
of Representatives, is calculated to rebuke
it. It says to all these officials : i We will
give you now such a bare allowance that I
you can no longer afford to buy votes.’ I
want that rebuke to go forth to all the
world. That they have been abused we all I
know. Why, sir, I saw hist summer, in |
the public papers, an advertisement bv one
of the high officials at New York calling
upon members of Congress to make their
nominations to him of workmen to be em
ployed. Was there ever such a shameless,
barefaced, avowal made before the world ?
converting to political influence the money
that ought to have been used for the use
ful purpose of labor to the public.
“ I am glad of this opportunity to re
buke these practices ; and in this feeling,
I think, so far as it goes, or can be proper
ly indulged, I shall be more sure of no
sympathy than that which I generally re
ceive in such purposes from South Caroli
na. Let us rebuke it at once. There is
corruption in high places, in great public
establishments, openly and shamelessly
avowed, and that corruption maintained
and engendered by public officers to con
trol public elections. I will vote nothing
for such an abuse.”
Old Lorenzo Dow was a very sensible
man, notwithstanding his eccentricities. —
The following, which is said to be an ex
tract from one of his sermons, is well worth
an insertion here :
u Perhaps it may not be amiss to remind
you of the printer in my discourse, lie is
in a very disagreeable situation. He trusts
everybody, he knows not whom ; his mon
ey is scattered everywhere, and he scarcely
knows where to look tor it. His paper,
his ink, his type, his journeymen, his la
bor, &e., must be punctually paid for you.
Mr. , and you, Mr. .anda hundred
others I could name, have tak< n his paper,
and you, and your neighbors have been in
formed and improved by it. If you miss
one paper, you think hard of your printer;
you had rather be without your best meal
than be deprived of your paper. Have you
ever complied with the terms of your sub
scription ? Have you ever taken pains toj
furnish the printer with his paper ? Have
you paid him for his type, his press, and
his hand's work ? If you have not, go and
pay him off”
