A Friend.
BY MISS JULIA PLEASANTS.
Commend me to the friend, who comes,
When I am sad and lone,
And makes the anguish of my heart
The sufferings of his own
W ho coldly shuns the glittering throng
At Pleasured gay levee
But comes to gild a sombre hour,
And give his heart to me.
He hears me count my sorrows o’er,
And when tho task is done,
He freely gives me all I ask,
A sigh tor every one.
H 3 cannot wear a smiling brow,
\\ hon mine is touched with gloom,
But like the violet, seeks to cheer
The midnight with perfume.
Commend me to that generous heart,
Which, like the pine on high,
Uplifts the same unvarying brow
To every changing sky;
Whoso friendship does not fade away
When wintry tempests blow,
But like the winter’s ivy crown,
Looks greener through the snow.
He flies not with the flitting flock,
That seek :he Southern sky,
But lingers where the wounded bird
rt- : Hath laid him down to die.
Oh, such a friend!—ho is, in truth,
Whate’er his lot may be,
A rainbow on the storm of life,
An anchor on its sea.
[Huntsville Democrat
The Japan Expedition.
We published an interesting letter from Lieut.
Contee, Flag Lieutenant of the U. S. Steam Ship
Susquehanna, written to his wife in Washing
ton, detailing some of the incidents that occurred
during the jecent visit of Comrnodoie Perry’s
Squadron to the Japanese coast. We extract
from a long account by Bayard Tayor, published
in the N. Y. Tribune of Saturday last, the fol
lowing particulars relative to the departure of
the Squadron:
Yezaimon came again on Saturday morning,
accompanied by both the Interpieters. This
time they brought a number of presents, as sou
venirs ot our visit—consisting of iackered cups,
very light and elegant in form, brocade silks”,
richly wrought with gold and silver thread, to
bacco pipes and pouches, and lans covered with
hideously distorted and lackadaiscal pictures of
Japanese ladies. The Commodore was willin'*
to receive them, but insisted on giving something
in return. A selection of American manufac
tures was made, which, with some maps, en
gravings, arms, See., formed a return more than
equal in value. They refused to take anything,
affirming that It was forbidden by their laws,
and would subject them to the danger of losing
their lives; besides, they said, the piesentsoffer”
ed them were too valuable to be accepted. They
were willing to receive, each, some small arti
cles which they could conceal about their per
sons. They were positively informed that we
would accept of nothing unless they took our
gifts, with the exception of the arms, which
were removed, as they stated that they could in
no case give or receive arms. When Yezaimon
saw his presents about to be tumbled back into his
boat, he yielded at once, choosing what he pro
bably considered the least dangerous horn of the
dilemma.
• In the afternoon they returned in the best pos
sible humor, their course having probably been
sanctioned by some higher authority on shore.
They brought off a quantity of fowls in light
wicker coops, and three or four thousand eggs in
boxes, taking away in return a large box of
American garden seeds. The interview lasted
a considerable time, as they were socially dis
posed, and partook of refreshments, both solid
and liquid. Tatsonoske stated, in a half con
fidential way, that the letter ol the President had
been received in Yedo, and that if the transla
tion which they had already received through
the Dutch corresponded with the original, the
Government would be disposed to regard it very
favorably. He also hinted that Yezaimon would
shortly be promoted to a much higher rank. The
latter was exceedingly jovial, and stated, by an
expressive pantomime, that he would shed tears
on the departure of the squadron. It was dusk
when the boat pulled off, and the shadows of the
wooded hills, lengthening over the water, soon
bid from sight the last glimpse of our Jaoanese
friends.
On Sunday morning, the 17th. we hove an
chor,and started tor Loo-Choo,having in ten days
already accomplished more than any other na
tion has been able to effect for the last two cen
turies. The universal feeling on board was one
of honest pride and exultation. Knowing the
cunning and duplicity ol the people with whom
we had to deal, it was a satisfaction to find all
their <frts of diplomacy completely shatterred by
the simple, straight-torward, resolute course
adopted by Commodore Perry. Nothing could
have been better managed from first to last; and
tnough I would noteucourage a too sanguine an
ticipation of the final result, I am confident that
if he carries the undertaking through in the same
spirit with which be has begun it, he will se
cure ail its most important ends.
The day ol our departure was clear and warm
and the morning light tell softly on the verdurous
snores, as we passed the promontory of
1 he soldiers were all gathered on the terraces.ln
front ot the batternes, to see us pass. The Mis
su£h a on o*ur port quarter,
hnd tK % reßh u wou! “ appear as iar be
hana and iht r hat Vessel from Susque
nana, and the sight of lour great warships with
a.I sails furleu and yards squared. keepr/J equi
distant from each other to a hair’s
moving through the water at the rate of eight™
nine knots, must have struck the Japanese as
something miraculous The day was so clear
that the inhabitants of noth shores had an excel
ent opportunity of seeing the performance of
the vessels, and we soon found that the news of
our departure had preceded us. As we drew
abreast of Cape Sagann, and made down the
centre of the bay, keeping much nearer the east
ern shore than on our entrance, we found the
water covered with boats, which had brought
out loads o. the Japanese to get a nearer view.
I he bay was sprinkled with them, far and near
and at a moderate calculation, I should say that
there were at least five hundred. Some of them
were so curious as to approach within four or
five hundred yards, when the men lay on their
oars, and remained standing motionless until long
a feL WC had P assed - 1 caught a parting glimpse
ffl‘ e ° F ? Se } amma rhf °ugh the rilts of
a pile of fleecy clouds, high over the head of the
Bay of Kowadzu.
VVe steered for the Northern or main entrance
of the bay, keeping between three or four miles 1
from the northern shore, whch belongs to the !
province of Awa. Vries, Island or Oosima, lay to
the sou,h of us. It has a boid, convex outline
and its suemt was lost in the clouds. It is an ad
mirable landmark for mariners, and in connec.
tion with Cape Idzu and Rock Island, forms a !
sure guide for vessels entering the Bay of Yedo
from the east or south.
Our course was nearly due south for the re
mainder of the day, and the chin of islands which
extends from the mouth of the Bay to the penal
coion} . of Tatsis.o, gradually rose to view. They
seem to have been very imperfecily explored*
for, on none of our charts were they laid down
correctly. Vulcan Island is conspidous for its!
lofty corneal summit, the sides of which are i
streaked with deposits of lava. It was covered
from the brink of its sea-worn JiT'
most luxuriant vegetation. To tb e e j of it
was another Island, not given in anv chart .Lj
the Commodore accordingly took the exnlorer’ d
right to name it “Mississippi Island.” clr •
ter of very peculiar pointed rocks rising like bro
ken obelisks, to the height of a hundred feet, re
ceived the Susquehannah’s name, and the Ply.
mouth and Saratoga were olso honored—the first
with a large isolated ro:k, the second with an !
isiand—both of which we claim the merit of
discovering.
rs/Jin! feat “ res lof 1 of this group are grand and im-
J* - r, .‘ Ahe shores of the islands are mostly
hiTnlfn^ 8 ! presen l tiin g f e w accessible points, and
of ?X y Clrcular in * orm i enhance the effect ]
pf the loft> summits into which they rise. I i
counted eight around us at one time some bold i
and strongly defined from their vicinity, others *
distant, blue, and floating in a vapory atmos
phere, like the phantom of islands. We could
not discern any dwellings upon them, but it is
probable that they are partly inhabi ed. We
passed through them all before sunset, and, still
steering southward, hoped to have caught a
glimpse of Fatsisio, which could not have been
more than twenty-five miles distant; but night
set in, and the vessels were put upon their course
for Loo Choo.
For the next two days we ran in a south
westerly direction, aided by a strong east wind.
I he Saratoga was cast off in lat. 30“ north, and
left to make her way to Shanghai, where she
winters. The Mississippi also cast off the Ply
mouth, which was ordered to sound and survey
along the western side of Ohosima, (the island
supposed to have been discovered by the Preble.)
while the Susquehanna cruised along the eastern
side. Commodore Perry’s intention was to spend
two or three days in fixing the position and di
mensions of the Island, and communicating, if
the nature of the coast would allow, with”the
inhabi’ants. We looked forward to the visit with
interest, as there i? no account of any vessel ever
having touched there, and in these days of dis
covery, a piece of virgin earth is very "rare. It
is not often that one can find a large communi
ty ol semi-civilized people, to whom the Euro
pean race u unknown.
On Wednesday, July 20, however,an easterly
gale come on. Our topmasts and top-gallant
masts were sent dowu, and we scudded along
with only the trysails set. The Susquehanna
rolled in a most extraoidinary manner, and the
great pivot-gun on her poop was so secured with
lashing and bindings of every description, that it
resembled an immense cast-iron babe in swad
dling bands. For two days the gale continued
to rage with considerable violence. Both our
fore and main trysail-gaffs were carried away,
and the Mississippi lost two of her boats. We
stood off and on for two days, but the sea con
tinued so the idea of proceeding to
Ohosima was finally abandoned, and we made
for the harbor of Napa, in Loo-Choo, where we
arrived ou the 25th.
We remained a week in Loo-Choo, and had
some further experiences of a very interesting
and important nature, which, however, I cannot
recapitulate at present. Thus ends the first com
paign of the United Stiles Expedition to Japan
—concerning which, it will ever be to me a
source ot pride and satisfaction, to say, parva
pars fur.
[From the Savannah News, 16th insf ]
An Escape from the Abolitionists.
We alluded briefly in our paper of Monday
last to the return of the slave Isaiah, who had
been persuaded by the Abolitionists of Philadel
phia to leave his master while in that city.
We have since learned something more of the
particulars of the case which we think deserves
to be recorded for the benefit of those phiianthro
pbists of the North, whose bowels of compassion
are for ever yearning over the contented and
well' provided slaves of the South, utterly neg
lectful of the suffering, starving, white and
black unfortunates at their own doors.
The slave Isaiah was purchased by Mr. Padel
ford some years since from a gentleman who
was about to leave the State. His master gave
him the usual privilege in such cases, of choosing
a purchaser. He made choice of Mr. Padelford’,
who was induced by his earnest entreaties to
purchase him, his former owner accepting a iess
price for his slave than he had been offered for
him, in order to gratify him in his selection of a
future master.
Under the protection of a kind and too indul
gent master, free from the cares and anxieties
that make life a burthen to so many ot bis color
in the free States, he had perhaps never dreamed
of exchanging his condition for the miserable
existence of a tree negro at the North.
His health becoming bad, his master took him
with him to Philadelphia,witha view to have him
treated for a disease of the nervous system. Here,
and elsewhere at the North, he spent the most of
the summer, during which time the interesting
invalid was no doubt tampered with by the
abolitionists, who reserved the grand scene of
his liberation until near the eve of his master’s
departure for Georgia. A few days before the
sailing of the steamer for Savannah, Isaiah ab
sented himself from his home, and Mr. Padel
ford was shortly after served witha writ of
habeas corpus , commanding him to show cause.
&c., for the detention of the said Isaiah Shel
ley.
Busy with his preparation for departure. Mr.
Padeltord had barely time to appear in answer
to the writ, when he instructed the return to be
made that he had purchased the said Isaiah at
his urgent request, that he had brought him to
Philadelphia solely for the benefit of his health,
that since he had absented himself he had not
; sought to recover him—that he did not desire to
: recover him, and that he would not receive him
should he voluntarily return to him.
Such an answer of course put an end to the
legal proceedings and sadly disappointed the
abolitionists, who had assembled to enjoy the ex
citement which they expected would grow out
of the affair.
Meeting Isaiah near the Court Room, accom
panied by several o: his colored friends, Mr.
Padelford said to him that he had put himself to
a great deal of unnecessary trouble and his
friends to expense, in the matter; informing him
at the same time that if he had made known bis
wish to remain, he would have interposed no ob
jection. If he preferred to remain with the ab
olitionists he was free to do so—not only so, but
i that he must abide by his choice, as he would
have nothing further to do with him.
His friends were evidently disappointed, and
it was difficult to say which were the most chop
fallen his abolition advisers or their victim.
The steamer was to sail in a few days. The !
day before her sailing, while Mr. Padelford was
at his hotel, he was informed that Isaiah desired i
to see him. Heat first refused to have any in
terview with him, but finally consented to see |
him. Full of contrition and deep repentence tor j
the part he had acted, the fellow begged and im- I
plored to be taken back by his master and to be !
permitted to return with hitn to Georgia. Mr. i
Padelford would hear to none of his entreaties j
he had been deceived and his confidence abused ;
he wanted no one about him who preferred!
the friendship of the abolitionists to his confi- '
, dence and good will. The negro b .rst into!
j tears and with all the eloquence he posseesed i
begged to be forgiven, promising to atone by fu
ture good conduct tor the wrong he had commit
kTv he x haii bten urged and persuaded
y ihe abolitionists—that he scarcely knew what
he had done— and that he could not think of re
maining with the people who had deluded and :
Mr ra p a e lls f , by v their pertended friendship. !
Mr. I adeltord felt the Jorce of his appeal but re- !
hirnlback. Un h#d Said he not take j
He, however consented that Isaiah might see !
his mistress, and il he could obtain her consent !
he might return with the family to Goo?! *
Isaiah having lost no time in laying his case be- !
fore his mistress, and having obtained her cm
sent, was instructed to go back and ,emain with i
his abolition friends. He was told that the !
I garner s a ,i ed the next morning at 10 o’clock, \
I th at if he was there he could go, but that no 1
pains would be taken to look hun up, and that
jhe was perfectly at liberty to go or stay. ii e
was at the same time cautioned that it he made
known to them his intention to return it was i
possible that they would find means to pre
vent him from doing so.
Isaiah kept his intentions a profound secret !
from the abolitionists, whose interest in h m
had greatly abated since the scene at the Couit
room, and the next morning as Mr. Padelfor 1,
with his family were going on board the Key- j
stone State, among the first persons who met !
them at the wharf was the truant Isaiah, his !
ebon countenance beaming with joy at his es- ; <
cape from the abolitionists, and at the certain ! 1
prospect of being borne back to Georgia and to <
slavery. ° (
To escape the abolitionists and the “ under- -
ground railroad it is said he obtained a dose i .
hack eatly in the morning to convey him to the

The Columbia and Augusta Railroad. [
“ TiS NO JOKE, BY MY TROTH !”
The Lexington Telegraph very kindly defends 1
us against the suspicions, which he has heard ]
expressed, of our sincerity in the matter of the
Augusta and Columbia Railroad. The Tele
giah will please accept our thanks for having
properly construed the exulting strain in which
we indulged upon the prospect we saw arising
ot this Road’s being built. Although the tone
thereof was somewhat light, yet we really felt
giad upon the occasion. It is with much plea
sure that we hear ot this Ball’s being still kept
in motion. And we hope that those citizens of
our District, who are likely to be materially
benetitted by this project, will lend it a helping
hand, so far as may be compatible with the sizes
ot their respective pocket-books. It is our can
did opinion that this is one of the very best
roads thus tar suggested in our State. It can be
located most beautifully and built most economi
cally. It will be more than apt to prove itself
the most popular line of travel in the Southern
country. It will probably become the great Ar
tery ot connexion between the South West and
the North. It will be a road of easy grading,
and sate in proportion. It will pass through a
pine countrj where the best of timbers can be
had in abundance for many years to come, and
where fire-wood will be plentiful and cheap.—
Such being some of its recommendations, we are
one ot its advocates. It is one of those routes
tor a Railroad which nature points out and com
mon sense approves, and this is the only kind of
Railroad we care to uphold.
W e have heard the idea suggested that the
construction of this road would millitate directly
against the interests ot Charleston and that it is
therefore to be kept down. Neither the propo
sition nor its deduction is at all admissable. It
might affect the Charleston Hotel and the Mills
House by diverting a somewhat larger amount
ot travel from the channel, than is already taken
off by the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad,
thus depriving those establishments of a consid
erable part ol the profits they still derive from
transient custom. But we are yet to learn that
an item of this small importance is to affect the
substaniai prosperity of a great and a rising
city. The trade and commerce of Charleston
will not be interfered with by the Columbia and
Augusta Railroad in any appreciable degree, so
far as we are at present capable of judging ; and
it is to trade and commerce (not to travellers)
that Charleston must look for the increase of her
wealth and the elevation of her rank among the
cities of America. If her aim be any thing
short of this, she is but a timid and spiritless
competitor in the race of riches. Granting how r
ever that Charleston might be injuriously affec
ted by this new Road, it does not follow’ that the
Road is to be condemned. This would be mak
ing the interests of one section of the State bend
to those of another; and surely it is not needed
in South Carolina to argue against this nefarious
doctrine. We do not believe for a moment that
the high-toned people of Charleston w’ould sus
tain their representatives in the Legislature in
any course which would necessarily involve the
sanction of such a principle.
Again, it has been whispered that this scheme
of connecting Augusta and Columbia by adirect
road will find a formidable opponent in the
South Carolina Railroad Company. We cannot
say that this will not be the case. But we can
say that we hope, for the honor of that Compa
ny, that no such hostility will be manifested.—
That the new Road would be to a considerable
extent a rival of theirs is unquestionable. But ;
it is a rivalry to which they stand fairly exposed j
and which they must sooner or later encounter. |
it will be far better to do this readily and with j
good grace, than to conce'rt a floundering opposi
tion in which they must eventually be deleated.
We know that this Company is said to be pow
erful in South Carolina: but a tyranical use of
their power would be, we apprehend, a certain
pre-cusor ot its immediate overthrow'. At all
events, it should be. And did we believe that
they could be capable of attempting so unjust a
scheme as that defeating by the strength ot their
influence the project we have briefly considered
above, we should warn them that they were
running the risk ot exciting a feeling or resent
ment, w hich might scatter their monopoly to the
four winds.
We repeat then that w'e approve the Colum
bia and Augusta Railroad scheme, arid trust that
active measures will be taken to secure its con
struction. Let the people ct Columbia move
first, of Augusta next, and then let the planters
and farmers and landholders along the line do
what they can well afford. What is lacking,
capitalists at home and capitalists from abroad
will make up.— Edgefield Advertiser, 16ih insl.
Naval Intelligence.— Our Squadron in the
East Indies. —By the Baltic, the New York Tri
bune has received from China private advices of
the ships composing our squadron in the Eastern
, Seas:
At Cum-sing-mun, China, were the steamfri
gates Susquehanna and Powhatan, corvettes
Macedonian and Vandalia, and storeship South
ampton. At Whampoa, the steam frigate Mis
sissippi. At Shanghai, corvette Saratoga. At
Loo choo, corvette Plymouth, to proceed from
there to the Bonin Islands. The officers and
crews were generally in good health, w'ith the
exception of those of the Vandalia, who were
suffering with scurvy, and those of the Susque
hanna and Saratoga, who have been exposed too
long to the trying climate of those seas. A hos
pital had been established at Macoa for the sick
of the squadron.
The engines of the Powhatan were out of order
and it would require two months to repair them.
There is also a flaw on the main shaft of the
Susquehanna.
It w r as the intention of Com. Perry to send
the Supply (>tore ship) up the river to lie off the
factories at Canton,in view of the threatened dis
! Acuities consequent upon the rebellion. She
was to have an addition of one hundred men to
j her crew, and to mount six thirty-two flounders,
i and two twelve pounder brass field pieces. She
| was laying at Hong-Kong.

Floral Exhibition.
The proposition to hold a Floricu Rural and
Horticultural Exhibition in this city, in May s
next, is exciting a considerable degree of inter- {
est among the lovers oi flowers and fine fruits. '
3 !
The idea is a novel one in the South, and one
which we are pleased to see broached. There
is a wealth of Flowers and Fruits in our Sffhny
clime— and although May is not the month for
displaying the ripened products of Pomona, it is
the month of all others for a magnificent exhi
bition of the rich treasures of Flora. It is then 1
that the Queen of the “buds and blossoms” 1
holds-high festive sovereignty amid the groves
and gardens, and decks the earth with a thous
and varying forms of beauty and loveliness.—
The meeting of the Stockholders in the Georgia
Railroad, in May next, will be a most proper
time for the proposed Exhibition—and it held
at that time, it will attract thousands of visitors
to our city.
It is unnecessary to dwell upon the many and
refining influences, which such exhibitions exert
upon the public taste. It is this consideration
which lends additional interest and importance
to the proposed display. It will be the means ol
creating a taste for the beautiful, a love for the
poesy of Agriculture as well as the prose. It
will be the means of diffusing abroad a general
desire for improvement, and then will come a
desire to beautify and adorn the homes of the
State.
We trust that the Exhibition may be held.
It will be one of the most attractive and interes
ting ever held in the State. And early steps
should be taken towards making the necessary
arrangements. It might be well to call a meet
ing.of ail those interested, and to appoint such
committees as may be required. There is no
doubt that every section of the State will be rep
resented, judging from the interest manifested in
the subject. The “Soil of the South,” published
at Columbus, in a iorcible article on the subject,
says : “There is spirit enough, there is wealth
enough, there is taste enough, there is skill
enough, in any of the leadingtowns of the South,
to establish Horticultural Exhibitions which
shall be a credit to themselves and an honor to
the South. Who will take the lead I—what say
you, sister Augusta ? Make the effort! Let May
be ushered in with all the brightest offerings of
nature. The whole country will assist you ; the
surrounding towns, Charleston, Savannah, Co
lumbia, Macon, Columbus and Montgomery will
reciprocate the festival.”

The Washington Star states that the Secretary
of the Treasury has addressed a circular letter to
; the commandeis of various U. S. revenue cut
ters, designating their duties for the corning sea
son of danger and distress on our coasts. These
orders embrace all that can possibly be done in
the utmost solicitude of the Secretary of the
lieasury, to save life and property exposed on
the coast to the rigors of climate and the dan
gers of the seas. The revenue cutter Forward
will cruise between Little Egg Harbor and Chin
coteaaue; the Campbell between Chincoteaque
and Cape Hatteras, and the James C. Dobbin
between Cape Hatteras and Cape Fear.
Curious Invention.— The National Intelli
gencer, among the late inventions for which pa
tents have been obtained, notices a curious one
by Mr. Robert M. Kerrison, of Philadelphia. It
is a clock different from any heretofore made, it
being without the slightest noise or any alterna
tion of motion; and Irom this latter fact promises
to be of the greatest use in the science of astron
omy. In this clock Mr. Kerrison has succeeded
in overcoming a difficulty which has been made
the study of scientific mechanics for nearly two
centuries, being first attempted b|y Huygens as
early as IG6B.
Cuba.— The British Minister, Mr. Crampton,
I R is stated, denies the truth of the statements
| relative to the scheme of Africanizing Cuba;
; but the administration is fully convinced that
| England has made a secret tie ty in which the
| plan is embraced, or what is the same thing,
j connives at the scheme.

inst., says that on Friday morning 16 car loads
of live hogs left that city via Indianapolis and

j Trotting and Pacing Match for SC,OOO. —
j There was a large attendance at Union Course,
L. 1., on Friday, to witness the match for $6,000,
ten miles out, between Mr. H. Woodruff’s s. g.
Prince, (trotter.) and Mr. Geo. Spicer’s g. g.
Heio, (pacer.) Prince was declared the winner,

U. 8. i Roors for Florida. —The steamship
Pennsylvania, running as a regular packet be
tween Norfolk and Philadelphia, has been "char
tered by the U. S. Government, and was en
gaged on i hursday last at Old Point in receiving j
troops and munitions of war on board, to be J
transported to Tampa, Florida. She is to touch j
at Charleston for the purpose of taking several 1
companies from Fort Moultrie for the same des
tination. Gen. Bankhead, with his family, left
Portress Monroe on Wednesday evening tor his
command in Florida. Nearly every officer sta
tioned at Old Point has been ordered to some
other post, and their places supplied by other offi
cers of the army.
A New Way to Raise the Wind. —It is sta- j i
ted that the method adopted by a forger in Bos- . 1
ton to raise the wind, was as follows: He was
agent for a business firm in£few York, and sold i
the goods forwarded to him by them at a reduc- j
ed rate for cash, and then sent to the firm in i
New York forged notes, due in three aud six
months, in payment.
The Conspiracy in Cuba.— Among the per
sons said to have been arrested lately at Bara
coa, Cuba, on suspicion of being concerned in a
conspiracy, were Dr. Francisco Hernandez and
h : s soli, a lad thiiteen years of age, who had
*• ! -ly arrived there from the United States ; An
tonio Ceruli, a notary; Antonio Carcaresy
Reyes, and Antonio Carcaces, planters ; Saturni
no Rafo, a tailor; Andres Morel, a silversmith ;
Juan Arrus, a merchant; Andies Llanes, a far
mer; Juan Cerulia, a notary public, with five
corporals and seven soldiers of the garrison.
Help for the Turks.— The New York pa
pers contain an address signed “ Charles Komis’;
and “ Louis Forok,” to the Hungarians ol New
York, calling upon them to take up arms in aid
of Turkey against Russia. The “appeal” af
tects to speak by the authority of Kossuth, and
invokes ell good Magyars who wish to avenge
the wrongs of the common enemy—Russia—to
send in their nameesso as to be enrolled forth
with.
Juries of Women. —The great number of
aggravated assaults committed by men on their
wives in England has led one of the London
journals to recommend a new punishment for
such offences, as well as a novel method of
awarding it. The proposition is to try all such
assaults by a jury of women, partly to obtain a
tairer verdict, partly to cover the criminal with
ridicule.
A Man of Regular Habits. —The Boston
Advertiser is authority for the averment that an
old gentleman recently died in a neighboring
tow’n,who had never passed a single night out
of the bouse in which he was born. This beats
the tale of the old woman who, for half a century,
kept the toll-house on one end of London bridge,
and never saw the other end of it.
[Correspondence of the Const. & Republic.]
Milledgeville, Nov. 17th, 1853.
Mr. Editor:— The principal subject of con
versation to-day has been the nomination of
Gov. McDonald, last night, by the Democratic
caucus, as the candidate of the party for United
States -Senator. It would be idle to deny that
some of Gov. Cobb’s friends feel this disap
pointment sorely. It is natural, that they should
feel so: but here it is generally believed, that
they will not suffer personal feelings so far to in
fluence them as to cause them to abandon the
nominee of the party. Gov. Cobb’s conduct
has been magnanimous. He calls upon his
friends to stand by the nomination. Such ac
tion on his part, will endear him more warmlv
to those who have always sided with him. and
win for him friends from among those who have
hitherto opposed him.
After the reading of the journal in the House
this morning, Mr. Irvin moved so re-consider the
motion adopted on yesterday, refusing to print
his resolutions on Federal relations. He said

tion, (which, if sustained, cuts off all debate)

72, nays 54. The main question, which was a

On a motion to print 100 copies for the use of
the Senate, considerable discussion arose, in
which Senators Pope, Miller. Sturgis, Stephens
and McGehee, engaged. The question was de
cided by a vote of yeas and nays, which were
yeas. 52: nays, 42.
Mr. Smith: a bill to iay out and organize a
new county from Coweta, Merriwether, Pike

Mr. Ward’s Address.
The following is the address of Hon. John E.
Ward,on assuming the Speakei’s Chair of the
House of Representatives:
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives:
W hi Ist I am not insensible ot the high honor
you have conferred upon me, and the manner in
which you have called me to this station, I must
rely much more on the kindness which has sum
moned me to it than my own ability. I brin<*
to the performance of the responsibilities of this
office an anxious desire, that when we leave
tnese Halls its duties shall have been so perform
ed, that the feelings you now express for me may
be increased and not diminished. The future is
before us. Our record is yet unwritten. When
the brief authority with which we are now
clothed shall have been surrendered back to the
people of Geoigia, what shall that record pre
sent? If we look abroad over our State and
contemplate her vast resources, there is enough
to excite the loltiest emotions of pride.
only ween we reflect on the warring passions
ot man, tu&t the feais ot the patriot are aroused.
; la a free government, party spirit and party
! strife must exist; let that spirit be tempered
j with personal kindness, and that strife be to ad
| vance the interests of our State. When we
| cease to struggle for this end, we destroy the
only jewel that glitters in the chain of party.—
We may, and will commit errors, but if our acts
be directed so to amend the lavvs'of the State, as
to develope her resources, uphold her honor, and
advance her people in moral and intellectual cul
ture, we may leave the rest to ti e charity of a
noble consistency.
