The broken moon lay in the autumn 3ky, And I lay at thy feet; You bent above me ;in the silence I Could hear my wild heart beat. I spoke; my soul was full of trembling fears r At what my words would bring ; \ ou raised your face, your eyes were full of tears, As tho sweet eyes of Spring. \ ou kissed me then, I worshipped at thy feet Upon the shadowy sod. 0, fool, I loved thee, loved thee, lovely cheat! Better than Fame or God. My sbui leaped up beneath thy timid kiss: * W hat theu to me were groans, Or pafn, or death ? Earth was a round of bliss, I seemed to walk on thrones. And you were with me ’mong the rushing wheels, * ’Mu Trade's tumultuous jars ; And vlhere to awe-struck wilds the Night reveals Her.iiollow gulfs of stars. Before your window, as before a shrine, 1 ’mong dew-soaked flowers, \Vhi’ f-,distant music-bells, with voices tine, the midnight hours. There came a fearful moment: I was pale, You wept, and never spoke, But clung around me as the woodbine frail Clings, pleading, round an oak. Upon my wrong I steadied upon my soul, And flung thee from myself; I spurned thy love as ’twere a rich man’s dole, — It was my only wealth. I spurned thee! I, who loved thee, could have died, That hoped to call thee “ wife,’ And bear thee, gently smiling at my side, Through all the shocks of life ! Too late, thy fatal beauty and thy tears, Thy vows, thy passionate breath ; I’ll meet thee not in Life, nor in the spheres Made visible by Death. Courting Made Easy. A Paris letter says a small pamphlet, entitled Instructions to Girls who desire to be Married , has been for some weeks cried and sold upon the Boulevard, at one scu a copy. The “ Instruc tions ” are curious enough to furnish an extract. They|are in the form of a catechism, proceeding by question and answer, thus; Question. What is the most necessary thing for grown up girls ? Answer. Marriage. Q. At what age ought girls to be married ? A. That depends upon whether they are handsome or not. Q. When should handsome girls he married? A. From sixteen to eighteen. Q. Why at that age ? A. For fear that, if they wait, some damage may happen to their honor. Q. And when should plain girls be married ? A. Just as soon as a man asks them, so »3 not to lose the chance. Q. When a girl is asked in marriage, what must she say ? A. She must appear surprised, and reply, that she did not think a fellow so deserving would have thought of her. Q. During the marriage festivities what must she do ? A. She must take care and not laugh, if any one says any thing with a double sense, as peo ple are very apt to do on occasions of the sort. Then follows an “ orison,” to be repeated from time to time by girls who are tired of maiden hood : 4,1 Lord, who formed Adam of earth, and gave him Eve for a companion, send me, if you please, a good husband to live with, that I may honor you, and have children who will bless you. After this comes a litany, to be said every day, till the effect is produced—as the physicians say of their prescriptions, 41 one teaspoonlul eve ry hour, till the patient goes to sleep.” Then comes the code of manners for the pa rents of a happy couple. This is as full as any one, who had gone through life aided by the counsels of the Complete Letter-Writer , could de sire. The father and mother of the bridegrom will say to the father and mother of the lady, after the usual bowing: 44 We have learned with a lively satisfaction, of the tenderness our boy feels for your daughter, and have come to ask her in marriage. If you consent, we shall be very well pleased.” Then the oid gentleman will reply : 44 We arc deeply sensible to the honor you do us: we yield with unhesitating cordiality. Be kind enough to fix tne day.’ £ 4 ’ We couid not think of it sir : fix it yourself, I beg of you.” And the code of manners having brought the parties into this awkward fix,deliberately leaves tnem there. A man who has lost all haoits of self-reliance from cons ? ant dependence on the Complete Letter-Writer, and the Young Chester field. would find it difficult to get out oi it, I fear. I trust that no matches will be broken off lrotn an unwillingness on both sides to appoint the happy day. You can gather from these specimens, how it is that this pamphlet is sold at the reasonable price of one cent; but you will not understand how it should ever have become the subject of a law suit. But it is not impor tant that you should know. Pretty Incident.—We heard a very pretty little incident the other day, which we cannot help relating. A young lady from the South, it seems, was wooed and won by a youthful phv sician living in California. When the engage ment was made, the doctor was rich, having been very successful in San Francisco. It had not existed six months, however, when, by an unfortunate investment, he lost his' entire 44 heap.” This event came upon him, it should be added, just as he was making ready to claim his bride. What does he do? Why, like an honorable and chivalrous young fellow, as he is. he sits down and writes the iady every partic ular of the unhappy turn which had taken place in his fortunes, assuring her that if the fact pro duced any change in her feellings towards him. she was released frem every promise she had made him. And what does the dear, good girl do? Why she takes a lump of pure gold, which her lover had sent to her when in prosperity, as a keepsake, having it manufactured in a ring, forwards it to him with the following Bible in scription, engraved in distiuct characters on the inside: Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee; for whither thou go est, will I go, and whither thou lodgest, will I lodge ; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God; where thou dies't will I die • and there will I be buried; the Lord do so to me and more also if aught but death part thee and me.” The lover idolized his sweetheart more than ever when he received this precious evidence of her devotion to him, both in storm and sunshine. We may add that fortune soon again smiled up on the young physician and that he subsequent ly returned to the North to wed the sweet girl he loved, and who loved him with such an un dying affection. Nay, more, the happy bride and bridegroom passed through our city not long since on their way to the home of the latter in the golden State. Reader, this, is all true.— Your.g ladies who read the Bible as closely as the heroine of our incident seems to have done, are pretty sure to make good sweethearts and’ better wives.— N. Y. Times. Legal Examination. —Justices Philip M- Russel, Laurence Connell, and Levi S. Hart, were engaged during the w hole of Tuesday in an examinination of the case of the State vs. Henry Weigand, charged with the crime of mur der, in the killing of Maximilian Andre. The examination was not brought to a close until this morning, owing to the large number of wit nesses examined. After a fflll and patient hear ing. the defendant was bouiro over to the Supe perior Court of the county, to answer to the charge of 44 involuntary manslaughter in the commission of an unlawful Bail in the gum ot SB,OOO was exacted, and was given by the defendant, Messrs.

Mr. Editor: My wanderings for this sum mer are now about closed, and I find myself 44 brought up” for the present at this point, where circumstances will detain me for some days. Not being able to return to Augusta and give verbally a recital of much that has inter ested me during the brief respite I have snatch ed from the cares of business, I will endeavor to note down some things, which are agreeably re membered, of my recent tour. On the 23d of July, I reached Charleston in time to do full justice to one of 44 the Governor 1 *” fine dinners at the Charleston Hotel, and by 4£ p. m. was steaming it down the beautiful har bor on board the Southerner, whose decks were crowded with a gay and joyous company of fel low-voyagers, many of them Charlestonians, who, at the firing of the gun, which gave signal that our voyage was commenced, waved hats and kerchiefs in adieu to their friends who lined the wharf. Our voyage to New York was un interruptedly pleasant. It w T as uneventful in those particulars which serve to give a dramatic interest and excitement to travel upon the mighty deep. The vessel was an established favorite, having buffeted many a white crested billow, and breasted many a storm, which put her worthiness to the proof. Capt. Dickinson, of the James Adger, was in command for the trip—his own vessel being in New York under going repairs. He is a seaman whose skill has won the entire confidence of the public, and his gentlemanly deportment, pleasant manners, and bonhommie , always gain for him the good will of his passengers. I regretted that circumstances prevented my delaying so as to return with him in the Adger on the 13th, particularly as these steamers are in all their appointments and con veniences like floating hotels of the first class. The meals I have sat down to on board of them, during the last two summers, were not surpassed in sumptuousness by those of the Metropolitan, the Irving, and the Clarendon, of New York; and as I am one of the happy mortals always exempt from sea-sickness, and deriving from the salt sea air fresh vigor and zest for every prandial enjoyment, life on the ocean has for me many pleasing One has only to travel to perceive what a travelling people is our active and fast-going community of Augusta. There were on board several of our fellow-citizens, going on to swell the large numbers that had preceded us to New York—the great centre of attraction. Our friend from Minisink was one, and H who sings so good a song. I will not omit another fellow voyager, who, if less companionable, was cer tainly not less an object of interest. It was Trow 's old roan, who stood on the forward deck, impatiently pawing the floor at times, and doubtless thinking of the huzzas of the crowd that would greet his re-appearance on the Long Island Course. It was currently reported on board, that he was booked for a pacing match, at a high stake, to come off in a few days after his arrival at New York. Voyages, even the pleasantest and smoothest, must have an end. We had whiled away, in pleasant converse among friends, and listening to the sweet voice of one of Charleston’s lairest warblers, many hours of Monday night, beneath a cloudless sky, until the full orbed moon rose red and fiery from its ocean bed to dim the lustre of the watching stars. As it had exchanged its angry flush for its usual placid face and silver radiance, it being past midnight’s solemn hour, I incontinently retired to exchange this scene of serenity and beauty for the oblivion of sleep and the illusions of dream-land. But the gentle murmurs of the phosphorescent waves, as our gallant bark cleared her way, and the gleam of the moonlight on the crested waters reached me through the window of my state-room, and thoughts of home and 44 the friends I left behind txvefi long robbed morpheus of his sceptre. When morning came, we were going up the Narrows, amidst a shower of rain, and the pano rama of Fort Hamilton, Staten Island, with its elegant villas, its cottages ornee , its green ter races, and its undulating hills; Long Island, Brooklyn, Governor’s Island, Hoboken, with all their mingled city and suburban attrac tions ; New York, with its domes and tall spiles, its splendid harbor, with its forest of masts and steamboat chimneys, with here and there steam tugs and ferry boats plying busily from shore to shore, all were presented dismally to view, drip ping wet and wrapped in a misty shroud. Nearly all the beauties of this unrivalled har bor and its surroundings, were obscured : yet it was not difficult to recall to memory how it looks under the bright glow of a cloudless sum mer morning. The first impressions of Ameri ca received by a foreigner who reaches our country by New York harbor, must be those of admiration for its beauty, for the safety of its anchorage,its commercial conveniences,the facili ties for its defence, and wonder that he had not heard more of it, and seen it oftener on casvass, or read of it in the descriptions of poets. Os New York city itself, its ways and cus toms, its sights and sounds, from its crowd of hacks and the babel of tongues that salute you at the wharf, the din and roar of carts, car riages and omnibuses rattling over the stones, the cries, the noises, the hum and hurrah of this busy hive of human life, I shall attempt no de scription. It were as endless a task almost as to count the drops of spray that dash upon a sea beaten shore. Every pursuit in New York seems thriving, and pressed with an industry and energy which must compel success. No business can be lazily and sluggishly pursued. He who is a laggard must fall by the way side, and be trampled down by the rushing host pressing upon his heels in the great battle of life. Those who are willing to work can find abundance to do in the various departments of labor, perhaps not always with a proper remuneration ; but no surplus of labor above the wants of society, presenting pictures of starvation and squalid misery, afflict the eye here, as is too often the case in the cities of Old Europe. One evidence of the great demand for labor in this country is furnished by the fact, that the New York agents of railroad companies in the Nefihsm and Wsitwa tot procuring la* borers, arc in tbs habit of going oUt t 0 Bea in pilot boats to meet immigrant vessels, and make engagements with the laborers coming in. This will give some idea of the competition among the contractors on great works of internal im provement. This certainty of procuring em ployment accounts in part for the eager crowds which rush to the shipping ports of Europe to ob tain transportation to this blessed country,where there are labor and bread for all, and a cheering prospect of independence, citizenship, and man ly position in this nation of sovereigns to the industrious and enterprising. This state of things among us has been a double blessing to less favored lands, with less democra cratic institutions. Especially has Ireland been benefitted; for the operation of this cause for years following close upon the depopulation by famine and its concomitant diseases during the disastrous years of 1847 and 1848, has destroy ed the surplus of labor that had afflicted that country, and created a demand for it at remune rating prices. But no returning prosperity in Ireland, or in any other portion of Europe, can check the tide of emigration setting in for these shores. Not a mail leaves New York or Boston without carrying thousands of dollars of the earnings of our foreign population, to b-ing over parents, and children, and brothers and sisters who have been only deterred from following these pioneers by the want of means. Let them come. Welcome, thrice welcome are they.— Such should be the voice of every patriot and philanthropist. There is room lor all. Work and land for all. No narrow and short sighted fears of danger to our liberties, or the corruption of our ballot-boxes should prompt restrictive le gislation as to the rights ol citizenship and free suffrage, by which the valuable industry and hardy enterprizeof the European masses would be repelled from us. It has helped to build up our cities, our railroads and canals, construct our houses and our ships, people our farms and waste places, create our mills and manufacturing vil lages, and pour into the channels of commerce returning floods of agricultural products which go to sw-ell the great aggregate of our country’s wealth. The Native American bigot, who at taches a sortol aristocratic value to the right of suffrage, may preach homilies upon the igno rance and degeneracy of the pauper labor of Europe, and deny to the sons of toil the capacity to acquire, in a few years, intelligence enough to ! vote understandingly. But for everyone such incompetent voter, a dozen will come from the same sources, endowed with all the elements adapted to make an intelligent freeman and a useful citizen. Thus will the modicum ol evil be more than ten fold compensated. Tneir children, too, and their children’s children,will be educated with American ideas, and grow up un der the ennobling auspices of American institu tions. Having said this much on the general subject of labor and its rewards, I cannot drop it with out the qualification, that there are imperfections and social evils on this score which are sensibly felt in the North—especially in the large cities. The great and grievous disproportion between [ the rewards to male and female labor, is bitter | ly felt and complained of by the latter class.— This is no small evil, and is worthy the best efforts of the humane and the just to remedy.— I It is an evil confined chiefly to cities, ani yet it is one easily in the reach of cure. There are many employments now monoplized by men, I which females can attend to as well; and we notice in our successive visits to New York that the remedy is giadually being applied. The females are gradually encroaching upon depart ments hitherto allotted solely to men, or rather, they are beginning to obtain their legitimate share. After a while, New York will present, in this particular, in its industrial departments, S somewhat a Parisian air; and as long as it pat j terns alter that brilliant capital in honest in | dustry,it is an example not to be deprecated. It was my intention to visit the office of the Nwe York Day Book , where females alone are employed in type-setting ; but postponed doing so Irom day to-day, until too late, as I was call ed back unexpectedly to Georgia. This experi ment has been in operation long enough to de monstrate its success. Last summer, I noticed that a number of females were employed in a Type Foundry on Fulton street, and they work i ed with a skill which left no ground for dissatis i faction. The Clarendon Hotel, kept by O. C. Putnam, in a style of unsurpassed elegance and comfort —the best Hotel probably on the American con tinent—is supplied chiefly with female seivants. ! None others wait upon the table.and the prompt ness, cheerful alacrity, and respectful politeness united with their modest deportment and neat costumes, add a crowning grace to each occasion which assembles the guests in the Banquet Hall. It contributes much to the devices which civi lization continually prompts us to adopt to ele vate eating from a vulgar necessity, to a social and a refined enjoyment. I could dilate on this theme, and the progress of refinement and luxury, as evinced in the Ho tels, Restaurants and Ice Cream Saloons which are now such brillantly distinguishing features of New York. Pleasant reminiscences of Del Monico’s, of Shelly’s, of Taylor’s, and of Thomp son’s, tempt me on. But cui bono ? Splendid fortunes are yearly made in ministering to Epi curean tastes by furnishing not only appetizing dishes to suit every caprice of taste, but doing it with ot elegance and style which minister to the imagination and subli mate the senses. Taylor has reared a Palace on the corner of Broadway and Franklin which rivals the glories of the Alhambra in its interior decorations, and would have given to the fertile imagination of Claud Melnotte new ideas to add to the descriptive splendours of his Marble Palace on the Lake of Como, where per fumed light poured forth its radiance through alabaster lamps—or to the Count de Monte Christo, now objects on which to lavish his marvellous wealth, wherewith to dazzle and as tound Parisian circles. His saloons, with the building which contains them, are said to have cost $350,000. Yet this great outlay must soon be repaid him, if it be true as was asserted in our presence, that his receipts were S3OOO daily. I am sceptical as to both of these figures,however. G. (TO EE CONCLUDED FN OUR NEXT.] The Crops. —The Columbus Times & Senti nel of the 16th inst., says :— 44 We are pleased to learn that the cotton crop is an unusually good one on the Chattahoochee. The late heavy and frequent rains, however, have caused a too rapid growth of the weed : and we understand that the boll worm has made it appearance on some plantations. This crop can never be counted on as certain before October, and notwith standing the fair promise now shown there may still be a short crop.” A California Bear.—The largest bear that has ever been seen in this quarter of the globe arrived at Philadelphia a few days since in the ship Jocob Bell, from California. He is of the grizzly species, and is believed to be 1400 pounds in weight. It is said that S7OOO have been re fused for him. The freight to bring him over , was S9OO. Rather an expensive and ugly pas enger. He is intended for the World’s Fair. Ttmutn Eeiurag, ihe Chattanooga Advertiser of the ISth inflt. says: The table which we publish in another col umn, contains full returns from every county in the State except Perry, from which only the majority for Henry has been received. The col ums foot up as follows : For Johnson 62,885 For Henry 60,978 2,207 Johnson’s majority is, theretore, 2,207. The returns are accurate, the most of them official. The full official vote will not vary the above re sult. we think twenty votes. Congressional Elections.—The following is the result of the Congressional election in this State: DEMOCRATS. Ist District Brookins Campbell—gain. 2d District— W. M. Churchvvell—gain. 3d District—Sami. A. Smith—gain. sth District—G. W. Jones. 10th District—F. P. Stanton—gain. WHIGS. 4th District—Wm. Cullom. ‘ 6th District—Charles Ready. 7th District—R. M. Bugg—gain. Sth District—F. K. Zollicoffer. 9th Distrsct—Emerson Etheridge. Ihe new apportionment bill gave the Whigs eight districts and the Democrats twc; but the latter greedy fellows—have taken more than their share. Col. Smith’s Mojoritv, 1540.—We have discovered errors in our summing up of the third district. McMinn county gives 215 majority, instead of 183, and in Monroe it is 225, instead ot 213, which swelled the majority to 1540. Polk county may still increase the amount when official returns come in. Brookins Campbell is elected by 143 votes over Taylor and Watkins. The official vote is 3988 lor Watkins, 5387 for Taylor, and 5530 for Campbell. The Legislature, so far so heard, will stand as follows : Senators. Democrats 33 Whigs 12 Democratic gain of 4 members. Representatives. Whigs ...' 40 Democrats 30 10 Five counties to be heard from. The last re presentation was forty-two Whigs and thirty three Democrats. The North Carolina Whig has been furnished with the following statement of Cotton taken to Columbia by the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad, from the Ist ot October, 1852, to July 30, 1853—ten months; Ridgeway 3.744 Winsboro 10,257 Blackstocks 3.632 Chester 27,164 Ebenezer 4.154 F. Mills 2^331 Charlotte.. . 15,136 Total... 66,418 Railroad Accident. We regret to learn from passengers arrived last evening, that an accident occurred on the State Road somewhere above Marietta on Thnrs day’, by which three persons were killed and several others injured. We could not get the full particulars. CE iipus.a correspondent of the N. Y. Courier & Enquirer, offers to give fifty dollars to any medium who will discover what passages from Shakspeare and the Bible are contained in a sealed packet to be placed before said medium ; fifty dollars for the divulgence of his thoughts as secretly written down prior to the experiment; fifty dollars for the moving of a table, four feet square, (provided by CEdipus,) by other than mechanical means; and fifty dollars for the ring ing of a bell in broad day-light, by invisible agency. These experiments are to be performed in the presence of three persons: one selected by Judge Edmonds, one by (Edipus, and one by the two witnesses so chosen. The New-York Herald lives a description of a new style of stereotyping, by which a perfect ! stereotype copy of a form of type can be produced j in ten minutes, and the impressions taken from j it and not irom the type in which the matter I was originally set up. Ot course the stereotype | copy can be duplicated, and thus two, three, or <Jny desired number of presses can be employed j at the same time in printing copies of the same | issue of a paper. This would enable a paper to publish an unlimited edition. [communicated ] Meeting in Wilkes. At a large and enthusiastic meeting of the peo ple of Wilkes county, held in the Court House at Washington, on Tuesday , the 16th inst., for the purpose of nominating candidates to represent them in the next General Assembly, Dr. John W. Heard was called to the Chair, and John B. Wooten was requested to act as Secretary. On motion ot Jas. R. Elliott, a Committee of seven was appointed by the Chair, to report suit able resolutions for the action of the meeting, consisting of J. R. Elliott, Jas. Arnold, Richeson Booker, Jas. H. Willis, Isaac J. A. McLendon, R. W. Wooten, and L. J. Gartrell. 1 he Committee retired and in a few moments reported, through their Chairman, L. J. Gartrell the following preamble and resolutions : j Whereas , It is not only the right, but the duty, of the people of this country to meet in primary assemblies and declare the principles by which | they are governed; therefore we, a portion of 1 the voters of Wilkes county, without respect to . old party lines, in the exercise of this right, do hereby declare as follows : Ist. That the series ol Acts passed during the first session of the thirty-first Congress, known as the Compromise are regarded by us as a final adjustment and permanent settlement of the ! questions therein embraced, and should be re garded, maintained and executed as such. Resolved 2d, That the report and resolutions ; of the Georgia Convention of 1850, known as j the Georgia Platform, have been adopted, sol- ; emnly in Convention by the National Whig and democratic parties, and that it is the duty of the people to unite in the firm determination to maintain the same. Resolved 3d, That we are opposed to the fur ther agitation of the slavery question North or South, as tending to endanger the institution and weaken the Union'of the States, Resolved 4th, That we are opposed to all “ wild, reckless, and gigantic schemes ” of Internal Im provements by the General Government. Resolved sth, J hat while we approve of an equitable ad valornm Tax Law, yet we are strenuously opposed to the present Law as it stands, because, it is unjust, unequal and oppres sive in its operation upon a large portion of the people of the State. Mr. Gartrell urged the passage of the resolu tions in an able and characteristic speech of con siderable length, which was listened to with in tense interest by the audience, and frequently interrupted by enthusiastic applause. The reso lutions were unanimously adopted. Resolved, That this meeting hereby nominate Col. Cha-\ L. Bolton as a candidate to represent the people of Wilkes in the next State Senate. On motion of James H. Willis it was unani mously Resolved, That this meeting recommend to their fellow-citizens of the county, Lucius J. Gartrell and Jas. Harris, as suitable persons to feprswnfc tfa«m in the House es Reprcwntafclvii of the nest General Assembly, On motion, Resolved that the proceedings of this meeting be furnished to the editors of the Washington Gazette, Augusta Constitutionalist, and the Chronicle and Sentinel for publication. 1 he meeting then adjourned. * JNO. W. HEARD, Pres’t. Jno. B. Wooten, Secretary. Yellow Fever in ALGERES.-The Mobile Ad vertiser, of a late date says :—“ We learn from a private source that the mortality in Algiers. La., (not reported in the papers) is even greater in proportion to population, than in New Orleans. Algiers is near New Orleans.” ] From the Columbus Times , I'Mh inst.\ Reply to the Chronicle & Sentinel. The evidence that the Buffalo Republic has been repudiated by the President, is found in the columns of the Washington Union, the organ of the Administration, where it is done without equivocation by the organ grinder in his editori al columns. As to the advertising patronage received by the paper, we know nothing about it, but presume no respectable paper would pub lish the advertisement for the pay offered for it by the last Congress. We have had similar patronage offered to us by Fillmore’s Adminis tration. Does this prove that Fillmore’s Ad ministration was Demociatic? The evidence that Dix & Co., have repudia ted their Buffalo heresies is found first in the fact that they voted for Franklin Pierce, the bitterest and most proscriptive enemy in the Northern States of the Buffalo politicians. Does the Chronicle & Sentinel forget that he organised opposition to Atwood, the Democratic nominee for Governor of New Ha mahire, upon the ground that he was a Buffalo politician, and succeeded in defeating his election ? The sec ond ground of proof that they have repudiated their Buffalo heresies, is found in the fact that they have been appointed to office by Franklin Pierce, the fiiercest and bitterest enemy of Buf falo heresies in the Northern States. The third piece of evidence that they have repudiated their Buffalo heresies is found in the fact that they are retained in office by Franklin Pierce, who is pledged before the country to turn out of office every appointee who will not repudiate the Buffalo heresies, and we believe Franklin Pierce is an honest man and will stand up to his word. As to Brown, he never was a Freesoil er. Now will the Chronicle & Sentinel honestly answer us a few questions? Did you not vote for a Freesoiler for President ? Did not Mr. Jenkins do the same ? How then can you hon estly blame Pierce for appointing Freesoilers to insignificant offices? Is not every Foreign Mission of the grade of Charge, but one, filled by men who are opposed to both Abolitionism and Freesoilism? Plain answers to these few questions will, it is believed, show the hypocrisy of the Conservative party and commend the Administration of President Pierce to the confi dence of the Southern people. “Oh! give relief and Heaven will bless your store.” Among the numerous private and public con tributions in aid of the suffering citizens of New Orleans, which we have noticed, we know of none more worthy of record than that made by Mr. A. Christadora, of this city. We learn that yesterday, without solicitation, he handed to a member of one of the Committees, a check for SIOO, to be forwarded to New Orleans. Con sidering that Mr. Christadora is not a rich man, in the ordinary acceptation of that term, but is dependent principally upon h s daily avocations lor support, it was a noble, generous contribu tion, and shows that he has a heart to feel anoth er's woe, and a hand that is ready to help, in soothing sorrow and distress. Mr. Christadora has set an example to otners from which they may “ learn the luxury of doing good.”— Sav. Rep.,-IBth inst. The Ship John Cummins. —Yesterday, about four P. M., we were informed by a gentlemen on whom we can fully rely, that the ship John Cummins, at anchor in Cockspur Roads, before reported with yellow fever on board, is now en tirely free from the disease. The steward died and was buried, while the person reported sick has recovered. The vessel is in complete order and now ready for sea, only awaiting or ders from her owners. All on boardare well.— Sav. Georgian. 19 th inst. Attempted Suicide. —Just as the steamship Alabama was leaving her wharf last evening, a woman, respectably attired, attempted to go on board, but, having no passage ticket, was pre vented. After the vessel had started she at tempted to jump into the river, but was witheld by persons present, who finally placed her in a wagon and drove off. From what could be learned, she had been faithlessly deserted by her natural protector, who had taken passage in the steamer, and, in the distress of the moment, rea son forsook her—hence the attempt to destroy herself. Oar informant did not learn her name or residence. We hope she has been kindly cared for.— lb. That Back Out.— The Atlanta Republican, of last week, speaking of the Whig speeches, on the 10th, says : “ Judge Johnson was also here, and we understand, was invited to a discussion, but backed out.” This statement is calculated, and was doubtless intended, to make a false im pression. We are informed, on good authority, that no invitation to a discussion was extended to Judge Johnson, from Mr. Stephens, who was to speak on the occasion by special appointment.

Gilmer Forever, World without End.— Wa have been shown a letter written to a friend of this town from the county of Gilmer, which said,“ Chastain and Johnson would carry the county by one thousand votes or more.” This intelligence, we have no doubt, is as correct as advance calculations can make it, tor the reason, we had an interview with an old sensible and intelligent friend of ours, who stated he was im mediately from the county of Gilmer, after a week’s transaction of business, and he was con fident that Johnson would carry the county by fifteen hundred votes. And further, that there was no settled opposition to Judge Johnson, and | his embarassment arose from the multitude of j Democrutic candidates.

Perhaps many of ! your readers may not be aware of the tact that an extensive traffic in gulls’ eggs is carried on between this pert and Boston. The eggs of these are gathered in great quantities along the 1 shores of the adjacent islands during the months of June and July, and shipped principally to Boston as a market. The egg gatherers, at the proper season, go over their grounds and destroy the first deposits, after which they daily collect and regularly ship this ovarious treasure to the Boston market. These eggs very much resem- j ble in form and size those of the hen, and to the inexperienced are no doubt equally palatable, although here they are very seldom reserved for home consumption, being far less esteemed as a delicacy than in the City of Notions.” Extract of a letter received in Charleston, dated “ Monk’s Corner, S. C., Aug. 14, 1853. “ I am sorry to say the rains have injured the cotton very much. While they continued every day I could see very little drooping ; but the I last two or three days have been dry and very hot. I think it has shedded more in those two or three days than it had done in all of the thirty rainy days previous.” Another Bale.—The second bale of new cotton was received yestesday per steamer Jen ny Bealle, from the plantation of John Lee, Perry county.

Dr. Butler was then called in and for a time, believed with his predecessors that it was a case of Prolapsus. He was, however, soon forced to the conclusion that his patient was suf fering from worms, and afther-much persuasion, prevailed uoon her to take two doses of Dr. M’Lane’s Vermifuge. This medicine had the ef fect of removing from her a countless number of tho largest size. After she passed them, her health immediatly returned. She is since married, and continues to enjoy excellent health. aug 16 “ Bring hither the poor, the maimci'. the halt, and tho blined,” ifyou would have them healed of their many infirmities. l\ a boldly and fearlessly assert that the Mustang Lini ment will positively cure Rheumatism. Let any who are afflicted with that most painfnl complaint try it thoroughly according to the directions, and, if they are not cured, we will give them their money back. What moro can we say ? It wW also cure tho Piles. Thousands have tried it—and all were cured. Bruises, Sprains, Sores, or Erup tions fade away as if touched by the magicians wand.
