ALEXANDER SMITH.
The fierce exulting worlds, the motes in rays,
The churlish thistles, scented briars,
The wind-swept blue-bells on the sunny braes.
Down to the central fires,
Exists alike in love. Love is a sea,
Filling all the abysses dim
Os lornest space, in whoso deeps regally
Suns and their bright broods swim.
This mighty sea of Love, with wondrous tides,
Is sternly just to sun and grain;
’Tis laying at this moment Saturn’s sides—
’Tis in my blood and brain.
All things have something more than barren use;
There is a scent upon the briar,
A tremulous sp!end»r in the autumn dews,
Cold morns are fringed with fire.
The clodded earth goes in sweet-breathed flowers;
In music dies poor human speech,
And into beauty blow those hearts of ours,
When Love is born in each.
Life is transfigured in the soft and tender
Light of Love, a a volume dun
Os rolling smoko becomes a wreathed splendor
In the declining sun.
[From the Southern Standard ]
The Destiny of the Slave States.
We are at a critical juncture in public affairs.
The world is moving forward with enterprise and
progress such as has never been before conceived
of. Near $200,000,000 are being add*d annually
to the gold currency of the world. The whole
resources of Australia. California, and China, are
iust about to be thrown open. In China, 300,-
000.000 people, wdth more accumu'ated capita'
and wealth than ar.y one people have ever pos
sessed. have been heretofore locked up from the
rest of mankind. The treaties made with Eng
land. France and the United States, a few years
ago. have broken the chain with which they
have surrounded themselves. This, together with
the rebellion now in progress, will unfold the re
sources of that mighty empire, and produce a
change in the distribution of wealth, equal to
that produced by the discovery of America upon
Spain and Europe. Where is all this vast trade
and accumulation in gold to pass through the
channels of commerce into the exchanges of the
world ? It must concentrate upon tne Pacific
coast, and force its way across the Isthmus of
Panama info the Gulf of Mexico, and thence
into the Atlantic,that great reservoir basin for the
civilized nations of the earth. The Atlantic
will be to the world what the Mediterranean
was to the then known world, under the reign
of the Antonies in Rome. Again, the Gulf of
Mexico lies between the great region drained by
the Amazon on one side, and the Mississippi on
the other. These are the two greatest vallies
upon the face of the earth, and capable of the
greatest productions. It is not saying too much,
to say, that if properly developed, they are capa
ble of producing what is produced, at present, by
the whole civilized w’orld The former is almost
in a state of nature, and the latter is not yet halt
developed. The whole country between these
two might rivers presents the most wonderful
region now to be settled up by the genius and
enterprise ot man. In the progress of the ne t
fifty years, the commerce and trade that must
concentrate upon the Gulf of Mexico wll tar
exceed anything that man has heretofore ever
dreamed of in his wildest imagination. The
Island of Cuba, from its central postion, and its
great port of Havana, is the key to all this. The
nation that holds Cuba will hold control over
the commerce and wealth of this new world.
It is not saying too much to say that if we hold
Cuba, in the next fifty years, we will hold the
destiny of the richest and most increasing com
merce that has ever dazzled the cupidity of man.
And with that commerce we can control the
power of the world Give us this, and can
make the public opinion of the world. These
two great vallies of the Amazon and the Missis
sippi are now possessed by the two governments
of the earth most deeply interested in African
slavery—Brazil and the United States. Cast
your eye over the map. and see their vast capa
city for production, while the Mississippi, with
its tributaries, can carry to market more of the
necessaries and breadstuff's of life than any por
tion of the habitable globe. The Amazon can
float the w T ealth of nations upon its surface—in
the production of tropics. The whole interme
diate countries between these two great vallies,
including the West India Islands, is a region
under the plastic hand of a beneficent Providence,
teeming with the fatness of nature s richest and
most luxurious productions. It is at present but
in its infancy, and as to capacity to produce, is,
as it were, unknown to the w'orld. Most ot it
has slumbered for ages in solitary grandeur.
Haw is it to be developed? Thi'ik you that
the Caucasian race can stand to toil and labor
under the burning rays of its troppical sun, and
sleep in vigor and prosperity under miasma of
its exuberant and mighty plains and swamps ?
No ! its resources are to be finally and fully de
veloped by that race which God. in his mercy,
formed and created for just such reg.ons. Pro
vidence lots off the ear*h to its appropriate races.
The camel loves the arid air of Arabia, and the
reindeer loves the frozen hills of Lapland. So,
in like manner, the black man loves to breathe
the humid air of his native swamps, while the
white man exults and hounds in the elastic air
of his native hills. Where you can combine
the administrative governing qualities of the
one race, together with the patient endurance
and physical capacity for low latitudes of the
other, you have that perfect system by which
the vast tropical regions of the earth may be
developed, whilst the laboring strata of society
k is occupied bv one race suited to its exposures.
' give the other race such a position as will enable
them to pieserve themselves from those daily
and exhausting exposures under which the
white race will sink in the tropics. Puling and
sick'y philanthropy may preach a different doc
trine. but if practised, it will forever consign to
a barbari-n wilderness some of the fairest por
tions of the world.
Witness the miserable experiments made by
the English and the French in the We t Indies.
Twentv-five years ago. where we saw cultiva
tion. bringing forth wealth and refinement, with
all the elegance of polished life, we see vagrant
labor stalking through a desolate land, with
hungry and brutal ferocity. This experiment of
West India emancipation is worth a thousand
theories, and is fast enlightening the reflecting
part of mankind. England feels, in its conse
quences, her folly. Everything has taken place
exactly as the Duke of Wellington predicted it j
would, in his clear and manly speech against j
the Act of Emancipation at the time.
The African race, under a system of domestic
servitude, tempered by the principles of Chris
tianity, are themselves raised and benefitted in
the scale of civilization. The great mass of the
poor and needy, in all portions of the colder and
less prolific latitudes, require for their comfort,
sugar, coffee, rice, and cotton, and the luxurious
productions of tropical regions. When they
can exchange their labor for these products at
cheap prices, it tends to raise them, too, in the
scale of civilization, by administering to their
wants and comforts, and thus tempting them to
industry and enterprise, in order that they may
be able to enjoy the advantages of various cli
mates. This system acts and reacts upon the
different branches of the human family, so as
mutually to benefit and bless all, by diffusing
more equally the comforts of life. Hence it is,
that the productions of slave labor, in the shape
of cotton, by which an abundant and cheap ar
ticle, for clothing the poor and the needy, has
done more to elevate the great masses, and
spread civilization to the lower ranks of society,
than all the other causes put together in modern
times. So now, if the noble regions, to which I
have alluded above, were reduced to systematic
culture by African labor, governed by the ener
gy and intelligence of the white man, they
would more than quadruple the present produc
tions of the comforts and luxuries of life, to dif
fuse them amongst the poor and needy of the
higher latitudes of the eaith. and thus mutually
benefit and bless both regions. This is the true
progress of civilization. And it is thus that
Providence everworks upon the destinies of men.
Apparent evils are the greatest blessings. It is
by war you conquer a barbarian race, and by
slavery you reduce them to labor and the arts of
civilized life. Slavery and war have thus been
the two great forerunners of civilization. This
modern crusade and phar»saical declamation
against domestic servitude will run out, as did'
the fanatical crusades of old, and society will a |
gain resume its reason and common sense, as the
best? guides in the practical affairs of life.
If we have wisdom and enlightened states
mansnip to direct our country, we can turn back
the tide, and by successful and triumphant expe
riment, make a public opinion for modern times.
Everything is at present on a most critical
turn m Europe. The Emperor of the French
stands upon a mine, that may explode any day.
A convulsion there, or in Turkey, would shake
the world.
The true policy of our Government at present,
is to stand still, but be prepared to strike, if it can
be done successfully. If Europe is thrown into
confusion, all American affairs will inevitably
fall under our control. We must do nothing to
hasten events. Time is doing its work for us
more triumphantly than ever the Roman Eagles
did for Rome, in her proudest and palmiest
days.
A general rupture in Europe would force upon
us the undisputed sway of the Gulf of Mexico
and the West Indies, with all their rich and
mighty productions. Guided by our genius and
enterprise, a new world would rise there as it
did before under the genius of Columbus. With
Cuba and St. Domingo, we could control the
productions of the tropics, and with them, the
commerce of the world, and with that, the power
of the world.
Our true policy is to look to Brazil as the next
great slave power, and as the government that is
to direct or license the development of the coun
try drained by the Amazon. Instead of courting
England, we should look to Brazil and the West
Indies. The time will come when a treaty ot
commerce and alliance with Brazil will give us
the control over the Gulf of Mexico, and its bor
der countries, together wi'h the Islands, and the
consequence of this will place African slavery
beyond the reach of fanaticism at home or
abroad. These Jwo great slave powers now
hold more undeveloped territory than any two
other governments, and they ought to guard and
' strengthen their mutual interests bv acting to
gether in strict harmony and concert. Consid
ering our vast resources, and the mighty com
merce that is about to expand upon the bosom of
the two countries, if we act together by treaty
we can not only preserve domestic servitude,
but we can defy the power of the world. With
firmness and judgment, we can open up the Af
rican Slave emigration again—to people the no
ble region of the tropics. We can boldly defend
this upon the most enlarged system of philan
thropy. It is far better for the wild races of
Africa themselves. Look at the three millions
in the United States who have had the hlessings,
not only of civilization, but of Christianity.
Can any man pretend to say they would have
been better off in the barbarian state of their
native wildernesses? And has not the attempt
to suppress, by force, this emigration, increased
the horrors of the ‘"middle passage 5 tenfold?
The good old Las Casas, in 1519. was the first
to advise Spain to import Africans to her colo
nies, as a substitute for the poor Indians, who,
from their peculiar nature, were totally unsuited
to bear the labors of slavery. Experience has
shown, his scheme was founded in wise and
Christian philanthropy. Millions of the black
man yet unborn will rise up to bless his benevo
lent memory. The time is coming when we
will boldly defend this system of emigration be
fore the world. The hypocritical cant, and
whining morality of the latter-day saints will
die away before the majesty of commerce, and
the power of those vast productions which are to
spring from the cultivation and full development
of the mighty tropical regions in our own hemis
phere. If it be mercy to give the grain growing
sections of America to the poor and hungry o f
Europe, why not open up the tropics to the poor
African ? The one region is as eminently suited
to them as the other is to the white race. There
is as much philanthropy in the one as the other.
We have been too long governed by Psalm-sing
ing School masters from the North. It is time
to think for ourselves.
The folly commenced in our Government
uniting with Great Britain to declare Slave im
portation piracy. Piracy is a crime on the
high seas, arising under the law of nations, and
it is as well defined by those laws,as murder is
at common law. And for two nations to attempt
to make that piracy which is not so, under the
law of nations, is an abusrdity. You might as
well declare it burglary or arson, or anything
else. And we have ever since, by a joint fleet
with Great Britain on the coast of Africa, been
struggling to enforce this miserable blunder.—
The British Government now admit it to be
folly. And if the great Sir William Scott were
alive, and Lord Chancellor, he would pronounce
it so likewise.
Mankind in masses are only taught by large
experiment. On this subject, importations into
Brazil and to Cuba for the past thirty years
hsve taught us, and emancipation in the West
Indies is an open book, which all reflecting men
are reading. England is attempting to recover
her lost possessions by coolies and the apprentice
system of whites and Chinese. It is slavery in
another form, and are subjects that will perish
under the experiment.
The w’orld will fall back upon African labor,
governed and awed in some shape or form by
the white man, as it has always been. This is
the only system wfoich can reduce to thorough
cultivation the mighty region of the Amazon
and the great troppical vallies of the Gulf of Mex
ico. The world will have to choose between
that and its remaining an everlasting wilder
ness. Under African labor properly awed, the
poor and the needy of the more rigid climates of
the earth, will be enabled to receive and enjoy
the comforts and the blessings of its necessary
and luxurious productions. Under this system,
the industrious but poor laborers of Northern cli
mates can be enabled to enjoy the coffee, rice,
sugar and cotton for cheap clothes, from regions
where, if they were compelled to toil and work
for it, under the burning rays of a tropical snn,
they would sink and perish away. But En
gland complains of the humanity of such a sys
tem ! And this is that England, the iron heeiof
whose power has but recently crushed the Irish
man into the dust of the earth upon his native
soil, and whose gigantic and bloody footsteps up
on the great plains of India have made whole
empires groan and travail undpr the most heart
less and grinding slavery that the imagination
of man has ever painted ! Such complaints from
such a quarter, is the most arrant hypocricy and
sanctimonious impudence the world has ever
witnessed.
And are we, a great people, moving forwad in
the progress of emire, to be duped by such can
ing sentimentality as this? If we are, t'npn
will we deserve to were the yoke of England
again. If she has lost the absolute sway of the
sceptre over us. she can restore its power through
her preaching and this mock humanity of her
etherial and sublimated morality.
No ! we have a higher destiny than this to ful
fil. We, too, are in the hands of a superintend
ing Providence, to work out the real regenera
| tion of mankind.
The great Roman Government fulfilled its pur
poses. and had its sway—and over its ruins
Loyola and his Jesuit followers made a system of
ethics and morals for the government of Europe. ;
Then the wild theories of French philanthropy
had their rise,and have died their death. We, j
too. have a glorious field before us. Whilst we
throw off the corruptions of an established church
on one side, and the wild profligacy of French
philosophy on the other, we move steadily for
ward to develope those great ideas of practical
liberty and sound philosophy that may be iden
tified with the real wants and real necessities of
evey part of the habitable globe. Our career is
to extend the blessings and C'.mforts of life to ;
the great masses, and thus to elevate them in
the scale of civilization. Supply their wants
and their comforts, and vou make them happy j
and virtuous.
Take the earth that God has given us, and by
industry and labor suited to it, make every por- j
tion of it bloom and blossom as a garden for the
t P an ." Rut the objection is often urged,
that Litre is danger in extending our territories,
and adding new people in our progress. Wheth
er for good or for evil, it is vain to oppose it Out
destiny is onward, and onward, until many’ more
rich and prolific regions are to be wrapt under
the broad folds of our national banner. The
spread of our population a/id peculiar organiza
tion will be more rapid and triumphant, than
the couquests ot the Roman eagles in tiieir proud
est days, or of the British lion upon the Burarn
poota or the Ganges. Cautious conservatism
may declaim against it, but it will be of no
avail. As well might you attempt to turn the
angry wave of the Mississippi by stretching
wicker work across it. In the future, the prog
ress and acquisition of this Republic is a fixed
fact beyond the reach of human power to arrest
it. The great duty of the statesman is to di r ect
it into proper channels, and let it flow on with
out a sudden eruption if possible.
I well recollect, that in 1835, Gov. McDuffie,
in his message to our Legislature, eloquently pro
tested against the annexation of Texas to the
Union, upon the ground that it would destroy.
theJCotton growing interests of Southern States !
He seemed to forget that Texas was there, and
could not be blotted off the map, and would be
a cotton country at any rate. The great
question was, whether we should do so. So in
like manner of Cuba and St. Domingo, and
other regions; the question will now arise,
whether they are to fall into other hands or un
der our control. The time will come that all
the Islands and regions suited to African slavery,
between us and Brazil, will fall under the con
trol of these two slave powers, in some shape or
other, either by treaty or by actual possession of
the one government or the other. And the
statesman who closes his eyes to these results,
has but a very small view of the great ques
tions and inte ests that are looming up in the
future.
In a few years there will be no investment for
the two hundred millions, in the annual increase of
gold on a large scale, so profitable and so necessa
ry. as the development and cultivation of the tropi
cal regimis , now slumbering in rank and wild lux
uriance.
If the slaveholding race in these States are
but true to themselves, they have a great desti
uy before them. Heretofore, the great difficulty
in civilizing the barbarian races of the world has
been, to procure cheap and abundant clothing
for them. A naked race must necessarily be a
wild race. To Christianize or civilize a man
you must first clothe his nakedness In the
3,000 000 of bags of cotton, that slave labor an
nually throws upon the world for cheap and
abundant clothing for the poor and naked, we
are doing more to advance civilization and the
refinements of life, tnan all the psalm singing
and canting philanthropists of New or Old En
gland will lo in centuries All we want is wis
dom and thorough statesmanship to guide and
direct us, and we may yet be a chosen people,
for great and wise purposes.
How to Spoil a High Spirited Wife.
“ What did you speak in that way to your
wife for, young man 1 ” asked old uncle Rogers
of his nephew.
“ Because it’s fun to see her spark up.” replied
the hopeful Benedict; I like to make her black
i eyes shine, and her round cheeks grow red as
jmy damask rose. And it s quite tragic the way
i she puts her little foot down and says ‘ s-i-r.”
! By the muses ! If you’d staid long enough un
; cle, I’d have shown you a Queen. You’ve no
idea how grandly she tosses back her fierce lit
tle head—or with what a Dido like air she
wrings those delicate hands of hers. It quite
breaks the monotony ot lite to get up such a
tempest to order. You see, uncle, one tires of
clear sunshine and blue sky—and so, as I know
she owns this spunky temper, I just touch it up
with the spur matrimonial, and let it gallop till
I see fit to reign in.”
“ I’ve as good a mind to root out that sap
ling, Hal, and use it over your shoulders, as I
had this morning to eat my breakfast before
you spoiled my appetite.
You are taking the surest way to ruin a
finely strung organization. Saving your pres
ence, I despise the man w’ho thus tampers with
a passionate but loving spirit. Look at youi
wife—how delicate her beauty ! Look at your
household—the very temple of taste and neat
ness. The little fixings on the mantle, the
fringing and tasseling here and there give a
touch beyond the common to your humble fur
niture. That lounge that lends so grand an air
to your parlor. I had set down for no less than
a fifty—when lo ! it turns out that five dollars
and a woman’s ingenuity, deceived an old, ex
perienced upholsterer like rnyself.
Then look at the vines she has trained, the
flowers she has planted, that lean toward her
when she approaches them, as if she was their
guardian angel! Why, Hal, is it possible the
possession of such a being as this, tempts you to
an absurdity that will surely end in destruction
of your domestic happiness 9 ”
“You are mighty serious about this little
thing, uncle.”
“Serious! unfortunately I am something more
—a victim to my own indulgence in a similar
infatuation. You have heard”—here uncle Ro
gers gave a great sigh—•“ that lam not happy at
home. My own fault! Every bit of it! and
the old man gave mother earth a savage blow
with his cane.
“ If a man marries an angel and torments her
into a fiend, who’s to blame but himself.” My
wife was very handsome, and as you say spunky.
There never needed to have been a warm word
between us, but I liked to see her angry. I
liked to see trie delicate nostrils expand—the
large bright eyes scintillate sparks of fire—but
I did it just once too often. I know the very
time that anger raised the final barrier of oppo
sition, and that nice sense of right became an
exacting and imperious tormentor.
“And now your uncle is driven from the
home of his nephew, where he hoped for peace,
and tortured with the fresh opening of old
wounds.
“ I tell you, Hal, you will spoil your wife, you
will ruin her: it’s not manly; it’s a burning
shame”—and the bid man’s thin lips quivered
with excitement.
Hal said nothing then, but when he returned
he ground his pride between his teeth, and beg
ged his wife’s pardon.
“I’ll never taunt you for fun again, Carry,”
he said in a low tone. And she replied as she
hid her tearful face in his bosom—
“I am so quick, so passionate—but indeed I
never begin it; and you have been so noble that
; I will try ard conquer this hasty temper. But
Hal,” she added roguishly, shaking her curls in
| his face, "‘what will you do for your queen ?
what will become of Dido tragedy, etc.—ha?”
? Her husband blushed [I contend that a man
looks handsome when he blushes] and a kiss
sea'ed the reconciliation. To-day, after forty
years of wedded life. Hal boasts that he remem
bers but once making up after a §torm —and
that wa« away hack in the Ever
since he has had still waters and a steady voy
age ; and uncle Rogers, who died years ago—
peace be with his ashes—used to call Hall’s home
a paradise on earth.
Horrtelf. Suicide of a Wealthy Califor
nian.—Franklin C. Gray, aged about forty-five
years, a wealthy merchant of San Francisco,
California, where he was Alderman for two
years, and highly respected, committed suicide
on Friday, at. New Rochelle, N Y., by throwing
himself across the track just as the express train
was passing, aud was instantly killed. The
Westchester News says:
The body was “ literally smashed to pieces.”
The head, neck and shoulders are completely
off. Not a piece of the skull can be found
larger than a penny Both arms, and the right
leg and foot have shared a similar fate. The
vertahrae is in several places broken, and the
left foot smashed lo pieces. The brains, and
mangled flesh and intestines, lay scattered in all
directions. Here was a broken leg, while there
lay a part of a hand, or some other portions of
that human frame in which life and soirit beam
ed a minute ago. The hand that writes this de
scription of a most horrible death, gathered up
the scattered brains and mangled limbs, placed
them on a plank, and assisted to carry them to
New Rochelle depot.
The deceased had an income of $36,000 a
year, which he received regularly in monthly
remittances of $3,000. He brought letters of
credit from Cook, Palmer & Co., of San Fran
cisco, abont fifteen months ago, and has since
been residing, a portion of the time, in Washing
ton, where he married a young, beautiful and
highly accomplished lady. He recently pur
chased a house in New York, in the Fifth Aven
ue, for their occupancy, which he fitted up in
most magnificent style. Last week, while la
boring under an aberation of mind, he disposed
of his house and furniture at a sacrifice of $7,000
to SB,OOO. He advertised his furniture for sale ;
and, on persons going there, they found that he
had sent for a furniture broker, and had it all
taken away.
On Thursday, he proceeded to New Rochelle
to sojourn awhile at the Pavillion Hatel, and on
Friday, was to have gone on a fishing excursion"
with several ladies, but during the morning de
clined going, saying he was unwell, and soon
after walked out to the railroad and threw him
self across the track. His w’ife, whom it is said
he appeared to idolize, was expected from Wash
ington on Friday evening to join him at New
Rochelle. A few days ago he made his will,
leaving all his property to his wife.

THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 21.
FOR GOVERNOR,
HON. HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON.
Os Baldwin County.
Death of an Editor.
Major S. A. Godman, the accomplished editor
of the Illustrated Family Friend; published at
Columbia, in this State, (says the Charleston
Courier.) died at the residence of E. W. Henry,
Charlotte county, Va., on the 12th inst. “He
was born,” says the Columbia South Carolinian,
“ In Cincinnati, on the Sth September, 1822,
and was therefore nearly thirty-one years of
age. Maj. Godman was at one time a midship
man in the United States Navy, had been in the
merchant service, and just before embarking in
the newspaper business was eight months in a
large mercantile house in Charleston. For two
years he conducted the Lauiensville Herald, and
after selling that paper, came to Columbia and
established the Family Friend.
“Mr. Godman was a writer of talent, and in
the department of I;tern are, for which he seemed
to have a preference—nautical romance—he had
already exhibited great powers. Had his life
been spared he would doubtless have won a high
reputation among the authors of America. He
has died in the prime of life, and in the vigor of
a fine intellect, which he had devoted to the
literature of his country. He leaves a wife and
two children to mourn his loss, and a circle of
friends who had looked forward with pride to a
brilliant career, of which he gave abundant
promise, to lament his early and unexpected de
cease. Our sympathies are with them in their
bereavement.”
Union of Whitaker’s “Southern Magazine” and
the “Southern Electic.”
We learn, with gratification, that,by arrange
ments recently entered into, these works will
be united from and after the next September
issue. It is understood that while the work will
retain its original feature of an Eclectic Maga
zine, containing articles selected from the pro
minent journals of Great Britain and the conti
nent of Europe, suitable for republication in
this country, it will also embrace original arti
cles from the pens of Southern writers, adapted
to the genius of our people, and developing our
progress in the various departments of art,science
and literature. Such a work is eminently need
ed and will supply a desideratum that has long
been felt in the Southern States. Mr. Whita
ker, the former able editor of the “ Southern
Quarterly Review,” and Prof. Fitten, who has
hitherto conducted u The Southern Eclectic”
with consummate judgment, will unitedly bring
to this new and desirable enterprise qualifica
tions which will command the public confidence
and ensure success. We commend their under
taking to the fostering support of the South.
We publish in another column a communica
tion from a “ Scott Whig,” repudiating the Con
servative Convention, and the nominee, Mr_
Jenkins. We don’t know how far this feeling
extends, but we learn from private letter, that a
Convention is contemplated at Macon, for the
purpose of putting out a Third Candidate and
adopting the Whig National platform. Should
they do this, they will occupy the position of
the Tcrtium Qw/isoflast year, and may be forced
to take Mr. Toombs’ remark, (which they
jeered so much) that £i Conventions are not
binding, but only advisory,” a- true; a proposi
tion which was very much scouted by the Scott
men, but in politics, propositions are as often
traps as truths and possibly this may be the view
of our correspondent and his party—at least they
may wish to pay Mr. Toombs in his own coin.

The Journal of Commerce tells the following
story:
One incident in the procession, trifling in it
self, occasioned a good deal of amusement. When
Gen. Pierce had got as far up as the head of
Wall street, his horse became restive, and came
in collision with the animal rode by General
Sandford. As the President was riding with
his hat in hand, the hat received the brunt of
the shock, and suffered severely, being badly
stove in and indented. The General was too
much engaged to notice the catastrophe, and
soon put on the hat in its unfortunate condition,
and retained it in its place for about a block, ex
citing roars of laughter among the boys.
High Wages for Laborers. —Contractors

Railroad Meeting in Warren.
July IBth, 1853.
Pursuant to appointment by Marshall H.
Wellborn, Esq., Chairman of the previous meet
ing, a large and respectable portion of the citi
zens of Warren county met at the Court House,
to take into consideration the subject of aiding
in the construction of a Railroad from Warren
ton to Macon via Spartaand Milledgeville.
E. H. Pottle, Esq., at the request of the Chair
man, explained the object of the meeting, and
made an eloquent and convincing speech in fa
vor of the proposed Road; showing that the
stock of the Road would be more profitable than
almost any other investment.
Wm. Gibson, Esq., addressed the meeting to
the same effect; showing that the county very
much needed the link wanted by the construc
tion of this Road.
J. M. Jones, Esq., also addressed the meeting
for a short time, but much to the purpose.
E. H. Pottle, Esq., then offered the following
preamble and resolutions, which were unani
mously adopted :
Whereas, It is in contemplation to build a
Railroad, connecting the city of Macon with the
town of Warrenton or some other eligible point
on the Georgia Railroad, via Milledgeville and
Sparta under a charter granted for the purpose,
by the General Assembly of the State, passed in
1837 and amended in 1847 and 1850 ; and
Whereas, the citizens of Warren county, in
terested in all the public improvements of the
day, and desirous of aiding in the above enter
prise, if it can be accomplished upon conditions
hereafter specified: Therefore
Resolved , That, as the citizens of Warren coun
ty feel a lively interest in the projection of the
proposed Road between the city of Macon and
the Georgia Railroad, we will aid in said enter
prise; provided Warren be made the point of
junction.
Resolved , That upon said condition, we will
use our best exertions to have procured subscrip
tions of stock in said road, commensurate with
our ability.
Resolved , That the Chairman appoint a com
mittee of five for the purpose of attending a call
ed meeting at Sparta to determine upon the
route over which said Road will be built, and
that said committee be instructed to oppose any
termination except such as indicated in the first
resolution.
The committee appointed for that purpose are
E. H. Pottle, J. M. Roberts, E. Cody, J. M.
Jones and Wm. Gibson, Esqrs.
On motion of J. M. Jones, Esq.,
Resolved, That the Chairman have power to
call a meeting whenever he may deem it neces
sary, for the furtherance of the object in view.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting
be published in the Augusta, Milledgeville and
Macon papers.
On motion, the meeting adjourned, sine die.
M. H. WELLBORN, Chairman.
Andrew Jackson, Secretary.
Rain ! Rain !—We have been blessed, says
the Federal Union of 19th inst., in this place,
with a fine rain; on Tuesday night last, and a
beautiful shower on Friday afternoon. These
rains are “out of date,” but will be of great
benefit even to those who have despaired of
making any corn. Numbers of our planters
have ploughed up their oat and wheat fields and
planted corn and peas. Even through the corn
should turn out poorly, it will serve admirably
for forage. With good rains we may yet repair
a portion of the damage already incurred from
a protracted drought of more than three months.
We still continue to have fine showers almost
daily.
Another Accident at the Hippodrome.—
On Thursday evening, while the French per
formers w r ere riding in the hurdle race at the
New York Hippodrome, the horse of M,lle
Caroline, in attempting to leap one of the hurd
les, stumbled and fell heavily upon the young
lady, one of his hoofs striking her head. She
was picked up insensible and carried from the
ring.
A thift in the Crystal Ptlace.— Or. Fri
day evening, one of the workmen employed in
the Crystal Palace, when going home, stole a
piece of sheet lead and packed it up in a parcel,
and was conveying it out when an officer of the
Palace arrested him. A pickpocket has also
been arrested in the building.
A Present. —Rev. Rufus W. Griswold has
presented to Mr Linus Benedict, of Norwalk,
(who saved the life'of his daughter, at the Nor
walk calamity, after she was supposed to be
drowned,) a very costly gold watch and appen
dages as an evidence of his gratitude and that of
his family, for his extraordinary and successful
efforts on that occasion.
The Fisheries. —The Gloucester Telegraph
of Wednesday states that quite a number of fish
ing vessels have sailed thence this week for the
Bay of St. Lawrence. Altogether, about forty
vessels are there, or on their way, belonging to
that port. Some of them are armed.
Lf.t the Bloomers Alone, Will ye I —A
young lady, a Bloomer, recently married at Oris
keney, N. Y., was “ horned” by some of the
village rowdies. She fired a gun over their heads,
and they ran away. Being taunted by some of
the villagers with the fact, they resolved to try
it over. This they did the next night, and
challenged the girl to shoot again, calling her a
liar, &c. On this, the young woman fired once
more above them ; but they laughed her to scorn
and at last, goaded to indignation, she sent a
charge of shot rattling about their brainless pates,
and, wounded and limping, howling and cursing,
they retreated in confusion.
The Tract Society of the M. E. Church in
New York, offers the sum of S3OO for an Essay
on Systematic Benificence, with particular ref
erence to the philanthropic finances of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church. The length, it is sta
ted, should not much exceed one hundred pages
duodecimo. They must be sent in previous to
the Ist of January next.
Large Crop of Wool. —The clip of wool this
year from the flock of Elisha Newell, Esq., of
Johnstown, Rock county, Wisconsin, yielded
him $3,000. He has 640 acres under cultiva
tion. and his receipts the year, including his
wool, will amount to about $7,000. Mr. N. was
the second settler on Rock Prairie. In 1837 he
was living on the prairie, under his wagon cov
er !
The Prospect-!. —We are informed from va
rious sections that the prospects ol the crops are
brightening, the rains which have fallen within
the last two weeks has brought them out aston
ishingly. indeed if the seasons continue as favor
able as they have been for ten or a dozen days
past, our county will nearly, if not quite, make
enough to supply the wants of her people. We
have been informed by several farmers, that corn
which was absolutely yellow half way up the
stalk, and looked two weeks since as if it was
lifeless and dying, now presents an entirely dif
ferent appearance; the yellow has disappeared
and the stark looks as green and flourishing as
could be desired. The cotton too, seems to be
doing finely. With good seasons all may yet turn
out well—but it is best not to holler till we get
out of the woods.
We have had two fine rains at this place
since our last, one on Tuesday evening, the
other on Saturday night. The latter extended
pretty generally in the county ; in the E and S.
E. we hear that it was lighter than in other
parts of the county. We notice that different
counties in the State begin to render more cheer
ful accounts of their crops.— Sandersville Geor
gian.
Killed by a Snake Bite.— We regret to
learn that a son of Mr. John Cox, a lad of 15
years, was bitten by a rattlesnake on Thursday
evening last, and died of it on Friday morning.
The snake had so stuck his fangs into the boy
that he was unable to loose himself, and was
separated by a gentleman in the field, and killed.
The snake was some six feet long.— lb.
Their Name is Legion.
The Whigs of Georgia, have at last found a
name that exactly suits them. The discovery
was first made by the Columbus Enquirer. If
we must tell our name, says the Enquirer, here
it is, “ Our name is Legion .” The Southern Re
corder and several other whig papers, answer
in response, our name is Legion , and our name
is Legion is echoed from one end of Georgia
to the other. We have for sometime had strong
suspicion of the origin of the present Whig par
ty. We knew that for some reason or other,
they were ashamed of their ancestors and their
name. But now since they have openly pro
claimed their origin, we hope hereafter they
will not deny their relations. Those who are
anxious to know the early history of the party,
and the character of their ancestors, will find a
very graphic and concise account of both, in the
sth chap, of Mark, and in the Bth chap, of Luke.
It will there be seen, that “ Legion,” was the
name of a very numerous and a very mischevi
ous party of devils that infested “ the country of
the Gadarenes which is over against Gallilee.”
It is strange how long certain traits of char
acter will run in families. Eighteen hundred
years ago the party called Legion , was in many
respects very much like their descendants of the
present day. Those unfortunate men who were
formerly under the influence of this party, left
the company of sane men, and delighted to hang
about the Toombs. Sometimes they became
insane, and frothed at the mouth, and exposed
themselves in a very ridiculous manner.
Those who were at the last Whig Conven
tion must have seen things very similar. We
might trace the resemblance much farther;
but we think we have already shown such a
striking similarity between the ancient and
modern party, that every one will recognize
tit relationship. We will only add at this
time, that the party called Legion ruined every
man that remained under their control, even the
hogs could not long survive their alliance ; and
in a fit of despair drowned themselves in the
Sea rather than endure their society.—Milledge
ville Federal Union, 1 9th inst.
The following parody on the popular negro
air, “ Poor Uncle Ned,” from Mr. Buckstone’s
“Ascent of Mount Parnarsus,” was lately play
ed at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, London :
Os ‘Undo Tom’s Cabin’ who ha 3 not had a sight ?
Who of Topsy the name does not know ?
If any one could wash a Blackamoor white,
It would be Mrs. Beecher Stowe.
I’ ts a very good book wo know,
And has made us our noses to blow,
But they’ve worked ’im so much I wish poor
Uncle Tom
Was gone where all good niggers go.
Wherever you travel, wherever you stop,
Uncle Tom his black poll’s sure to show ;
With his songs, polkas, waltzes, they fill every shop
Till like Topsy, “1 ’specs they must grow !
The stage had enough of Jim Crow,
A jumping and a “doing just so,”
And ’twould be quite a blessing if poor Undo
Tom
Would after that good nigger go.

H. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment—
This celebrated medicine, skilfully
composed as it is of the most healing balsams and
penetrating oils, can never fail to cure almost ere
ry affliction that could be alleviated by an exter
nal remedy. Its superiority over all other Lini.
ments is proven by the miraculous cures it perform?
and by the great and constantly increasin?
mand. There has been sold within the past year
more than THREE MILLIONS OF BOTTLES,
and there can bo but few persons found who do
not bestow upon it tho highost praise for the rare
virtues it possesses. Nothing, perhaps, since the
creation of the world, has been so successful as an
oxternal remedy for all nervous diseases, as this
wonderful curative. When applied, it instants
neously diffuses itself through the whole system,
sooth ng tho irritated nerves, allaying tho most
intense pains and creating a most delightful sensa
sion. Read the following remarkable cure, which
can be attested to by hundreds who were fully ac
quainted with the whole circumstance.
Chronic Enlargement of the Tonsils —My
daughter, when six months old, was taken with a
swelling in the tonsils, which grow larger and lar
ger, till when six years old had great difficulty in
swallowing her food. Every night watch was kept,
* fearing she would suffocate. The best doctors at
tended her but could give no relief. I took her to the
1 most eminent doctors in tho East; they said there
was no help for her but to outgrow it. With a sad
heart I returned home with her, when she became
so much worse that the doctors had to be called in
again ; they decided that the tonsils must be cut
off, as tho only means of giving relief. My wife
would not consent to this, and she determined to
try your Liniment, which gave relief the very first
application, and by a continued use she entire
ly recovered. She is now ton years old and fleshy
and healthy as could be desired. Your Liniment
is also the best in use for sprains, bruises, cuts,
burns, headache, etc., and it will remove the most
severe pain in a few mutes. It also cured caked
udder in my cow in a few days.

A Good Comparison.—The Rev Wil- I
Rum Roulatt, a well-kown Methods 1
clergyman, residing at Naples, draws the follnwin? |
amusing but apt comparison, between Dr. M’Lanei |
celebrated Vermifuge and a terret:—
“ A ferret, when placed at tho entrance of a rat- I
hole, enters the aperture, travels along the pa-'- J
sago, seizes upon the rat, exterminates his existence §
and draws the animal’s defunct carcass to the light I
And in manner I have found Dr. MLanf'i 8
American \ermifuge to operate upon worms, tho 4 1
dreadful and dangerous tormentors of children j
This remedy, like the feret, enters the aperture of j
the month, travels down the gullet, hunts round j
the stomach, lays hold of the worms, shakes tb ? 3
life out of the reptiles, sweeps clean their den, a** 1
carries their carcasses clear out of the system
This, at least, has been tho effect of the Vermifn? .
upon my children.”
A neighbor of Mr. Roulatt, Mr. John Briggs J
adopts tho simile of the reverend certifier, thus |
both giving their most unequivocal approval oi 1
this great specific, after having witnessed its opera
tion upon their own children. Let others try.' l, l
and be satisfied.
