The Closing Year.
BY GEOBSE D. PRENTICE.
’Tis midnight’s holy hour, and silence now
Is brooding like a gentle Spirit o'er
The still and pulseless world. Hark !on the winds
The bell’s deep tones are swelling—’tis the knell
Os the departed year. No funeral train
Is sweeping past—yet on the stream and wood,
With melancholy light, the moonbeams rest
Like a pale, spotless shroud —the air is stirred
As by a mourner's sigh—and on yon cloud
That floats so still and placidly through heaven,
The Spirits of the season seemed to stand;
Young Spring, bright Summer, Autumn’s solemn
form,
And Winter with his aged locks, and breathe
In mournful cadences that come abroad
Like the far wind harp’s wild and touching wail,
A melancholy dirge oer the dead year;
Gone from the Barth forever.
’Tis a time
For rnemoTy and for tears. Within the deep
Still chambers ofthe heart, a spectre dim.
Whose tones arc like the wizard vo.ee of lime,
Heard from the tomb ot Ages, points its cold
And solemn finger to thj beautiiul
And holy visions th&- bare passed away,
And left no shadow of their loveliness
On the dead waste of life- That spectre lifts
The coffin-lid of Hope, and Joy and Love,
And, bonding mournfully above the pale
Sweet forms that slumb&r there, scatters dead flow
ers
Over what has passed to nothingness. The year
Has gone, and with it n any a glorious throng
Os happy dreams. Its mark is on each brow,
Its shadow in each heart. In its swift course
It waved its sceptre o’er the beautiful,
And they are not. It laid its pallid hand
Upon the strong man—and the haughty form
Is fallen, and the flashing eye is dim.
It trod the hail of revelry, where thronged
The bright and joyous—and the fearful wail
Os stricken ones is heard, where ’erst the song
And reckless si. out resounded. It pa sed o'er
The battle-plain, wheresword and spear and shield
Flashed in the lig-it of mid day—and the strength
Os serried hosts is shivered, and the grass,
Green from the soil of carnage, waves above
The crushed and mouldering skeleton. It came
And faded like a wreath of mist at eve;
Yet, ere it melted in the viewless air,
It heralded its millions to their home
In the dim land of dreams.
Remorseless Time —
Fierce spirit of the Glass ana Scythe—what power
Can stay him in his silent eourse, or mere
His iron heart to pity ! On, still on.
He presses, and forever holds his fierce career,
Dark, stern, all pitiless, and pauses not
Amid the mighty wrecks that strew his path,
To sit and muse, iike other conquerors,
Upon the fearful ruin he has wrought.

The Mines. —The past fortnight has been a
very unfortunate one lor the miners. The rain
has filled the gulches and raised the rivers, and
the works ot the dry season are closed.
The diggings in the river beds have been aban
doned, and in many cases valuable dams, flames,
&c., have been swept away, although the rise
has not been great. The miners now look back
upon and count their profits and loses lor the last
six months.
The shipments show that undiminished
amounts of gold have been produced, yet many
of the diggers complain that they have spent
much money in canaling, machinery, Ac., and
have made little.
The flumes which have not been carried off
are being taken down to be used next year.
The miners are pretty well prepared for
he winter, and it it be tavorable the golden har
vests wilt be richer than ever.
Some miners having no good prospect for the
winter are preparing lor next summer. Canals,
to be finished by June, have been commenced
on the North Yuua, Middle Yuba, and Nortn
Fork of the American river.
Many similar enterpiises have been planned,
and they will havea very important effect on the
prosperity and produce of the mines.
New diggings have been foun * in a number of
points, but nothing extensive.
Near Minnesota, in Sierra county, the tunnels
pay very well. A lead 200 leei wide, evidently
once the bed of a stream, has been found under a
mountain, and 600 feet above the level of the
Middle Yuba, near by.
In tbits lead are lound tbe remains of trees,
some rotten, others petrified, others changed in to
a mineral resembling sulphate of iron.
Several valuable quartz veins have been open
ed in El Dorada; and some discoveries have been
made in Calaveras which, it is thought, will
raise the latter to a high position among the
quartz counties.
Oregon an» Washington Territories.—
Advices from Oregon and Washington Territo

Sandwich Islands. —Two weeks later intel
ligence had been received from Honolulu, viz:
to Nov. 5.
During the fortnight ending on that day, 112
whalers had arrived at Honolulu; Lahaina and
Hilo. Owing to the fear of the small pox, which
had been at Honolulu, an unusually large por
tion of the fleet have made Lahaina ‘.heir depot.
The whalers arriving were all American, ex
cept three Bremen, three French, and one Rus
sian. Eighty-seven whalers remained at Hono
lulu on that day,and 15 merchant vessels.
The small pox has abated at the port of Hon
olulu, but still lingered in the rural districts of
the islaud. During the week ending Nov. 5
there were new cases in Oahu, with 101 de .ths;
and five new cases were reoorted at Hawaii.—
Total number of cases reported to Nov. 5. 6051;
the total number of deaths for the same period,
2295. Total number of persons vaccinated at
the vaccine establishment at Honolulu, up to
Nov. Ist, 2946.
Ti e political ferment in the islands had com
pletely subsided. The policy of a system of free
trade now occupied the attention of the papers
and piincipal men.
Georgia and South Carolina Railroads
We find in the Savannah Republican, of the
15th inst., the Annual Report of R. R. Cuyler,
President of the Cential Railroad and Banking
Company, of Georgia, which gives a very flat
tering exhibit of the affairs of that Company.
The gross earnings of the Road for the fiscal
year ending on the 30th uit., were $917,082 34,
and the aggregate expenses $407,733 64, show
ing a nett profit of $509,348 70. The earnings
ot the Road as compared with those of the pre
vious year, have fallen off $28,425 94, (which
is accounted for by the shortness of the cottou
crop, and the delay in sending it forward, by the
reduction in th. Company’s rates of transporta
tion, &c , &c., but at the same time its nett pro
fits have increased $1,722 90. The clear pro
fits of the Company from Bank and Road, for
the last year, have been $570,710 48; it has de
clared a dividend of 8 per cent., and it still has
a Reserved Fund of $322,398 95.
We take from Mr. Cuyler’a repoit the follow
ing extracts, concerning the proposed Macon
and Warrenton Railroad, and the probable direc
tion, in the luture, of the through-travel, accom
panying the great mail, which will be interest
ing to our readers at this time:
The Post Office Department intends, in the
course of a few weeks, to transfer the great mail
from the Wilmington steamers to the Wilming
ton and Manchester Railroad. The discontinu
ance of the Wilmington steamer line will, doubt
less, soon lead to a termination of the mail con
tract existing between the Government and
Brooks and Barden on the Charleston and Sa
vannah route. The New Orleans mail, from
Washington City, will enter the State of Geor
gia at Augusta, and Savannah will receive her
mail byway of the Augusta and Waynesboro’
Road and the Central Road. The mail commu
nication between this city and Charleston will
probably be carried on byway of Augusta, un
til some shorter Railroad route is established.
There is promise of such shoiter route in the
undertaking of the city of Charleston and citi
zens of South Carolina, to build a railroad from
Charleston to Savannah. Application has been
made to the Legislature of Georgia lor a charter
to cross the Savannah River above this city, and
to enter our town with their Road. It is be
lieved that no objection will be made to the
grant of such privilege. Application has also
been made for a charter to cross the Savannah
River near Sister’s Ferry, with a Railroad lead
ing directly from Branchville, $. C., to' th# city
of Savannah, and no objection is seen to the
grant of this privilege also. Either of such
roads would give to the cities of Charleston and
Savannah a shorter railroad route than through
Augusta, and it is reasonable to expect that one
or both of them will ere lone be established.
The thoroughfares of travel by Railroad, ac
companying the great mail, will be over the
Wilmington and Manchester Road, passing
Charleston no nearer than'Branchvilie, and pas
sing Savannah no nearer than Millen—the point
of junction of our Road with the Augusta and
Waynesboro’ Road. It is important to this
Company, and to this section of Georgia, that
the'upper y.l miles of the Central Road should
be part, at least, of the great thoroughfare. Sa
vannah, contributing largely to the building of
the Waynesboro’ Road, and to the Road from
Columbus to Opelika, (now under centract and
in piogress.) calculated that there would be two
lines of travel across our State—one from the
Montgomery Road, byway of West Point and
Atlanta to Augusta, the other from Opelika en
the Montgomery Road through Columbus, Ma
con and Waynesboro’, to Augusta. These two
lines of nearly equal length would be sufficient
to answer the public want and expectation in
regard to through travel.
A project, however, has been set on foot to
build a Railroad from Macon through Milledge
ville t<> Warrenton, and it is believed that it
meets the lavor and aid of the Georgia Railroad
Company, and the city of Augusta. Such a line,
whilst it could in no wise compete in respect of
freight, with the Central Road, would take the
through travel from Macon away from the up
per part ol the Central line, and thereby prove
injurious to our interests. The policy of this
Company, in the absence of such a line from
Macon to Warrenton, would be to remain con
tent with the communication byway of Waynes
boro’, but if fund* be provided to build the War
renfon Road, it cannot be expected that this
Company will make no effort to counteiact its
influence upon our work. On our pait no ob
jection has been or will be made to the estab
lishment of the Macon and Warrenton line—
Railroads will doubtless be multiplied, and the
public may receive advantage thereby, whilst
the fate ol share-holders may be different. The
upper 111 miles of the Central Road can be
mr,de the thoroughfare of travel, beyond com
petition by the Macon and Warrenton route, by
maiding a Railroad from Millen across Savannah
river to Branchville.
A line Irom Branchville to Millen, would be
of immense advantage to the public generally—
it would be ot great advantage to Charleston by
placing that city much nearer to Macon, Colum
bus and New Orleans—would receive the lavor
ot the Wilmington and Manchester line, and
prove beneficial to this section of Georgia. If
neither the road from BranchviUe by Sister’s
Ferry to Savannah, or from Charleston direct to
Savannah be built, this line from Millen to
Branchcille would prove serviceable as the means
of communication between the cities of Charles
ton and Savannah. In vie wof the effort of the
Georgia Railroad Company and the city of Au
gusta to establish the route from Macon to War
renton, the Board recommends that appilication
be made to the Legislature for the right to build
a Branch Road from Millen to the northern bank
ol Savannah river in a direction towards Branch
ville. The Board is satisfied that the great in
terests involved in such a line would lead to the
joining ol that branch to the South Carolina
Roads at Branchville.
A Young Lad* Burned to Death. —The
editor of the Mad Anthony, at Greenfield, Ohio,
gives the particulars of a terrible tragedy in that
place on Saturday evening, resulting in the death
ol Miss Sarah Hector, a talented and highly re
spectable young lady, who has been engaged in
teaching a select school. She had been boarding
for some time at the Buckeye Hotel. It seems
she was subject to severe attacks ot headache,
for which she was in tha habit of using chloro
form. Upon the fatal evening, she is supposed
to have taken an over quantity, and sitting be
fore the parlor fire under its effects, she fell for
ward, the sleeves and bosom of her dress instant
ly catching the blaze. The fall aroused her, and
she screamed for help. A young man belonging
to the house, flew to her assistance, led her into
the hall, and lan for water. While he was ab
sent, she rushed screaming into the back yard,
her entire person being enveloped in flames.—
By this time the whole neighborhood was
aroused, and the portions of her burning clothes
were torn from her. She was carried in a faint
ing condition to her room, and divested of the
remnant ot her apparel, to which portions of the
skin and flesh adhered Upon examination
she was found to be terribly burned, with the
exception of her face. Oiled cotton was applied,
but she suffered unutterable anguish until to- !
wards midnight, wb*n sh# became v#ry easy,
remaining in this state until about 7 o’clock on
Sunday morning, when she expired. The de
ceased was a young lady of good scholarship and
fine intellect. Had flour been applied to the
burns instead of oiled cotton, she would have suf
fered comparatively little pain, and, perhaps her
life might Lave been saved.
A Vermonter.
As we were sitting in the picture gallery of
the Crystal Palace, taking memoranda of its
contents, a tall ill-dressed Vermonter, attracted
piobably by the benignity of our visage address
ed us:
“ Stranger, what mought they charge to let a
feller in this ’ere show ?”
“ Why do you ask : you paid at the entrance,
did you not ?”
‘Ya-a-as! I didn't pay nothin’; es yew see
anythin’ green ’bout me, jest yew write, will
yew ?”
“ How did you gain admittance then ?”
Wa-a-all, yew see I traded with a boy out
there for a Herald,and gin him an extra cent to
holler ‘fire!’ and when the man with the brass
thing on his coat looked around, I kinder edged
in behind him.”
Os course we expressed our indignation, and
were about to leave him, when he seized our but
ton hole, saying quickly:
“ Say, Mister, don’t be riled, guess they’l never
miss it. Yew talk so all-fired honest, guess yew
must be a newspaper feller; been takin notes,
aint yew ? I’ve heard ’bout this short-hand.”
We assented ; and he resumed :
“ Might yer name be Greely, Mister ? because
I seed a nigger wench looked jest like a few
gitive nigger; and es she is, it’s a bully chance
lor yew to spread—won’t cost you nothin’ nurth
er.”
We denied i/iai imputation, when he contin
ued :
" I allers like newspapers chaps 'cause they
are so clever. Been in the fine arts myself;
taught school three winters—eighteen dollars a
month and boarded ’reround.
We next stopped to view the fine specimens
of peifumery, among which were busts made of
solid so up.
“ Hullo!” said Yankee, nosing the goods
“ guess these is made of gravestun, aint they ?
“ No, they are made of soap.”
Before we could prevent him, he had pinched
it to satisfy himself.
“Wa-a-all, guess it is, it feels soporiferous, any
way; smells rael epocryphal tew. don’t it? jest
like old Mr. Slocum’s ’pothecary shop tew hum.”
A few steps brought us to the statuary, where
a number of persons were silently gazing at
Powers’ statue of the Greek Slave.
“ Mister,” said he, after a moment’s inspec
tion, pointing to the chains upon her wrists,
“ what's that critter hoppled for ?”
The bystanders roared; and we endeavor
ed to explain to him the nature of the subject;
and, to prevent him from handling it as he was
bent upon doing, pointed to the placard request
ing visitors “not to touch the articles.”
“ Dont touch the articles 1” repeated he,
“ Why, she ain't got the first darned article o»

Female Vanity. —ln spite of being fifty-four
years of age, the Dowager Princess of East
Friesland was much handsomer than ladies are
wont to be at that period of life. She was well
aware of it, and neglected none of the innocent
arts ol the toilette to preserve her charms. In
her wardrobe she had more than two hundred
dresses, and it afforded her the greatest pleasure
to continually change her attire. Her wardrobe
always accompanied her wherever she went. Du
ring a visit she was paying to the Duke of Celle,
at his chateau of Bruckbauson, in 1592, a violent
pain in the heart suddenly attacked her, which
the physicians declared was mortal. On her in
quiry, they informed her of the impossibility of
effecting a cure. She prepared for death like
a Christian ; but as soon as the clergyman had
quitted her room she ordered all her Isdies’-
maids round the bed, and arranged her toi
lette with the greatst accuracy. She was
dressed in her best linen, and a white dress
shot with black; had her hair arranged, and
her handsomest head-dress put on. All was
most carefully selected,down to the white gloves.
She then uttered her last wishes, among which
she expressly ordered that no surgeon should lay
his hand upon her. She had her coffin lined with
white satin, and placed in a room. Her greatest
apprehe ision was lest the jolting of the coach,
in which her remains would be borne home,
might disarrange her position and dress; and only
a few minutes before she felt the approach of
death, through the coldness of her extremities,
she most earnestly entreated her attendants to
take care that she was properly laid in her coffin,
and securely fastened down, that nothing might
be disturbed. Could any one be more consistent
in vanity, in the presence of death?
Anecdote of Btxon.—l heard an anecdote
that evening of the poet, which was very charac
teristic, and quite new to me. When at Pisa,
his lordship found itdifficult to keep up his prac
tice with the pistol on account of the objections
of his neighbors and the municipal regulation of
the place. He, therefore, by the aid of a small
gratuity obtained permission from a farmer in
the vicinity to shoot at a mark in his paddock.
On the occasion of his first visit to the premises,
the peasant’s daughter a very pretty contadina
accosted him in the usual manner ofjher country.
She wore in her bosom a freshly plucked rose with
two buds attached to the stem. Byron sportive
ly asked her to give him the flower. She hesi
tated and blushed. He instantly turned to his
companion and rehearsed in English a very na
tural tale of humble virtuous iove bitterly con
trasting the apparent loyalty of this fair rustic
with women in high life. Then with perfect
seriousness he again asked for the rose as a token
of sympathy for an unloved exile. His manner
and words moved the girl to tears. She handed
him the rose with a look of compassion, and si
lently withdrew. This aroused his latent su
perstition. He was lost in a reverie for several
minuted, and then enquired of his friend if he
remembered that Rousseau confessed throwing
stones at a tree to test the prospects of his future
happiness. The flower was devoted to a similar
ordeal. It was carefully attached to an adjacent
pale, and Byron having withdrawn several paces
declared his intention of severing one of the
buds from the stalk atone fire. He looked very
carefully to his priming and aimed with great
firmness and deliberation. The ball cut the bud
neatly ofl and just grazed the leaves of the rose.
A bright smile illumined the poet ; s countenance
and he rode back to Risa in a flow of spirits.—

Sewing Machines. —One of that much abused
arid more bemoaned class of females who eke out
a scanty living by stitching pantaloons for two
shillings a pair, procured a sewing machine, and
in a single day finished sixty pairs and earned
fifteen dollars. It is true it was an extra day’s
work, in competition with another girl who used
a different machine, and the patentees, who were
interested in the result, gave her special facilities;
but it shows what can be done, and how one
phase of the seamstress question is likely to be
disposed of. The strenuous efforts which some
have been making to raise the compensation for
such work, to what is called ‘‘a fair living rate,”
may as well be abandoned at once. It is an
unwise benevolence that attempts to thwart the
world's progress, instead of conforming to it.
It is certainly painful to see suffering around
us that we know not how to relieve; but it is
more judicious if such be the cause, to acknowl
edge it, than to waste strength in endeavors that
we know beforehand will be fruitless. There
are, however, other remedies, and of a practical
kind, for the suffering of this class to which we
have referred.— Journal of Commerce.
“Wear and Tear” of Bank Notes. —The
State Bank of Indiana recently addressed circu
lars to the various banks of the country to ascer
tain, as near as possible, the gain to branks of
issue by the loss of circulating notes, through a
series of years. No very satisfactory returns
were made, but in two instances they elicited
the following lacts : The Catskill Bank, in thirty
years, with an average circulation of $200,000,
as this amount has not been returned in ten
years. Tfie Merchants’ Bank of Baltimore, in
forty-seven years, with a circulation ranging
from $300,000 to $600,000, averages about $428,-
000. Bills issued between the years 1805 and
1830, have now outstanding after a lapse of at
lvast ten years, $26,fc90, being an annual average
of SBOO. The large average, however, was caused
by the loss, at one time, of $15,000 in notes. We
presume the losses to the public by the mis
management and roguery of banks would average
somewhat larger !—lll Reg.

Recess of the General Assembly.
Below is the Message of Gov. Johnson, on re
turning, with his signature, the Joint Resolu
tion providing for a Reces3. It is contended by
some that the signature of the Executive was
not necessary, to make the Resolution valid—
that it was competent for the General Assembly
to take a recess without it. We give no opin
ion on this point; but as the Resolution was sent
to the Governor for his signature, he had an un
questionable right to express his views as to the
propriety of the step. This was a privilege
each member of the Legislature had enjoyed, and
each one exercised it in the vote he gave for or
against the Resolution. The Governor did not
think the stepan expedient one, or called fi r by
the public interest. To have vetoed the Resolu
tion on this opinion, would have been a harsh
and discourteous exercise of his prerogative, and
he did not feel that the occasion would justify it.
Yet, to have signed the Resolution without a
word of comment, might have been to place
himself in the false position of approving what
he conscientiously thought inexpedient and un
wise.
This much we feel constrained to say, because
was taken at the Message on the score
tha 4 : it assumed to lecture the members as if they
were a set of school boys. No such purpose, we
believe, was intended.
This circumstance again illustrates the policy
of annual sessions. We will, in fact, practically
have, lor 1853 and 1854, annual sessions. For
several consecutive years past, we have had in
this way annual sessions. Why not then let the
people, each year, elect the Legislature that is in
session during that year?
Executive Department, )
Milledgeville, Dec. 20, 1853. j
To the House of Representatives:
The resolution providing for a recess of the
General Assembly, from the 21st inst., until the
9th ot January next, having been presented to
me for Executive approval, 1 have signed it, in
mere deterence to the wishes ol the Representa
tives of the people. I believe it to be Constitu
tional, but 1 most respectfully differ with the
Legislative Department as to its expediency.
I see no great public interest to be promoted by
the recess, and I capitally doubt its wisdom, be
lieving, however, that the veto power should be
resorted to only to protect the Constitution, and
to check hasty arid dangerous legislation, I do
not withold my assent to the resolution upon
questions of mere expediency. It is safest for
the Executive to defer to the wisdom of the
Legislative Department unless a different course
is demanded by strong public considerations.
These views are respecttully submitted, as ex

New Rail Road Project.
The abstract of the annual report of the
President of the Central Railroad, will be found
in another column. That report, contains a sug
gestion of a Railroad from Millen on the Central
Road to Branchville, S. C. This is a mere bluff
to the Warrenton and Macon Railroad project,
vox it preterea nihil. Such a road would not pay
There would be neither freight or travel, or both
combined sufficient to justify the outlay. Nor
would the Stockholders in the Central Road be
willing to invest their funds in building such a
road in order to get the mail and the through
travel on 111 miles of that Road—or rather fora
chance to get it. Nor would the undertaking by
the Central Railroad Company of such a project
tend much to enhance its stock. It would in
fact knock it down far worse than would the
building of the Macon & Warrenton Road.
There will be, we presume, no opposition on
the Georgia side to the application lor a charter
of a road from Millen to the Savannah river, in
the direction of Branchville. If any Georgians
desire to spend their money in building such a
road, let them do sc. It may benefit citizens on
and near the line, but it would be rather poor
stock—and what trade it carried to Charleston
would be just that much subtracted from Savan
nah.
Christinas Dinners.
Many fine dinners were served on Christmas
day in this city, and no doubt they were enjoy
ed by hundreds of merry and thankful hearts.
Many luxuriated injmore dainties than fell to our
lot,but no one probably sat down with more zest)
to his fatted Turkey than we did ; for to give
greater relish to the occasion, Messrs. Dawson &
Skinner sent us a fine, juicy old Virginia Ham,
and a canister of fresh English Peas. The lat
ter had lost somewhat of their luscious spring
flavor, but furnished a most acceptable addition
to our winter store of vegetables.
We were indebted too to our friend John Cash
in for a superior bottle of Falkirk Ale, and
Thayer & Butt had supplied us as a Christmas
present, with a of Raveliy Segars,
put up in tin foil, with one of wfyieh we quieted
our nervous system into a state of delicious tran
quility. It was a pleasing reflection, that edi
tors are not forgotten on such occasions.
Campbell Minstrels.
The performances to-night, at Concert Hall
are for the Benefit ol Mr. Newcomb. A* the
Campbell Minstrels, have so often put their
audiences in a good humor, the latter should re
turn the compliment to one of the leading mem
bers of the company, by a full attendance. The
result will be mutually pleasing.
The War New*.
The Charleston Courier has the following in
addition to the telegraphic news from the seat
of war in Eastern Europe, published by us yes
terday :
“This is one version of the story. The most
probable statement, however, is that the Turk
ish fleet consisted of only three frigates, which
were protecting the transports carrying the re
inforcements for the Turkish army in Asia,
“Prince MenschikofF left to convey the in
telligence of the Russian victory to the Czar.
“The main body of the Turkish fleet was in
the Bosphorus.
“The Turks have completed fortifying the
coast along the Black Sea.
“On receipt of the news of the engagement,
| vessels were immediately sent out by the allied
fleets to take a position in the Black Sea.
“It is reported that Persia had resolved to
march an army against the Turks, and that the
British Charge d’Affaires had left Teheran on
that account.
“it is stated that Selim Pacha and the Circas
sian chiet Schamyl surround Woronzoze on all
sides, nearTetlis.
“The Mohetnmedans in Asia are coming from
all quarters to assist the Turks.
“The tone of the English press towards the
Russians is very menacing, even the London
Times leans towards the warlike side of‘the
question.
“The Spanish Government, having been de
feated in Cortez, a Royal Decree was issued
suspending its sessions.”
Monument to Webster. —The New Eng
land Society had a meeting at the Astor House
New York, on Thursday, to talk over raising
money to build a monument to Webster. Some 1
of the gentlemen (among them Mr. : Fessenden) i
bitterly opposed the movemeuf, on the ground |
ot Mr. Webster’s advocacy of the compromise j
measures. However, a committee was appoint- \
ed to take up subscriptions.
How they Manage Railroads in Franck. J
—The tribunal of Angoulme (France) has fined I
a railroad engineer 200 francs for having failed
to notice the red flag, the signal to stop. No ac
cident resulted from his negligence, but it was
thought best to make an example. Another ex
ample has been made by the coirectional tribu
ne. of Poitiers. A collision resulting from neg
ligence occurred, and two inspectors of the first
class, a signal man and porter, were accused of
being the direct cause of it. The first has been
sentended to 1500 francs fine, and two years’ im
prisonment; the second to 1,000 francs fine and
one years’ imprisonment; the two others to one
year and to six months’ imprisonment, and to
300 trancs fine each. The managing director of
the line is made civilly responsible for the fines
and costs.
Five Hundred Dollars Reward is offered by
Messrs. J. T. and D. A. McLeod, and A. M.
Horne of Sumpter county, Ga., for the appre
hension of Giles, a negro man, owned by Joel
Walker of Milledgeville, and who recently com
mitted a brutal murder upon the person of Nor
man E. McLeod of Sumter county. Giles is
abaut 6 feet high, a little copper colored, 35 or 40
years ot age, walks a little stooping, and weighs
190 or 200 pounds.
Onr Governor.
The Editor of the Cassville Standard, writing
to his paper from Milledgeville, thus notices
Gov. Johnson:
“ Gov. Johnson had a private party a few eve
ning since which we regret not being able to
attend, on account of a previous engagement.
The guests consisted of some thirty of the mem
bers of the Legislature of both parties. Such en
tertainments will be given until all the mem
bers are invited. We understand the Governor
made himself quite interesting and entertaining
on the occasion,—indeed, we think he is improv
ing wonderfully in his efforts to be pleasant, and
we should not be surprised that he soon becomes
personally a very popular man, and that he real
ly does not lack the power to please, which some
of his friends have deplored. We know him to
be an honest,generous man, and so we think the
people of Georgia will find him.”
The bill repealing that section of the Code'
which prohibits the circulation of small bills of
the banks of other States in Alabama, was or
dered to a third reading in the House of Repre
sentatives ol that State, on the 18th instant, and
it will doubtless become a law.
Death of Major Allen Little. —Major
Allen Little died suddenly at his residence near
this city, on Friday morning last. Major Little
was one of our oldest and most esteemed fellovr
citizens. For more than forty years he has been
a resident of the county; and during his long
life bore the character ot an honest man and
kind neighbor. On Thursday night he sat at
1 tea with his family as usual—his health had
been impaired somewhat by previous attacks
1 from the same malady that caused his death—
Chronic Diarrhoea; but he was apparently well
on the evening alluded to. Thus, in a few short
hours, he passed from life and friends, to eternity.
Major Little was in his 70th year. Federal
Union , 27 th inst.
The La. Paz Fillibusters and the Mexi
cans. —It is stated that immediately upon the
receipt at the city of Mexico of the doings of the
Filibusters at La Paz, the English Minister, Mr.
Doyle, placed the English war steamer Driver
at the disposal of Santa Anna, with directions to
seize any vessel in the least degree suspicious.—
For this interference and for other officious in
termeddling, rumor says, Gen. Gadsden, the U.
S. Minister, had given him some severe whacks
over the knuckles. The New’ Orleans Picayune
avers that the expedition was freely furnished
with funds by leading Mexicans; and that the
Caroline; the schooner on which they embark
ed, was owned in the port of Guayamas, by
Mexicans, and sailed under Mexican colors. It
is said the expedition has a strong corps de re
serve in California, which will join it at the ear
liest moment. The celebrated Count Boulbon
is supposed to be the piime mover in the affair.
The Governor of Sonora had issued a proclama
tion declaring that all foreigners embarking with
out permission of the authorities, and forming
themselves in armed bodies, and all captains of
vessels and others who shall assist such bodies,
will be considered and treated as pirates.
Despatches received at Washington from Mex
ico, it is said, leave the impression, that no dif
ficulty with Mexico will grow out of this expe
dition. We see it stated, however, that the go
vernment is uneasy about the affair, and tele
graphed to New York on Monday to detain the
California steamer, but the despatch ivas re
ceived too late. The object was to order a na
val officer to proceed to Panama, charter a steam
er, procure a crew, sail for the Gulf of California
in search of the schooner having on board the
Fillibusters, and capture the men and carry them
to California for trial. It is feared, it is said,
that Santa Anna will capture and summarily
execute them, which would inflame and make
Fillibusters of all California, and possibly pro
duce another Mexican war.
[Translated from the Courier des Etats Unit.]
Nelville Soule and the Duke of Alba.
Extract from a letter of F. Gaillardet, dated
“ Paris, Dec. 1, 1853.
"Apropos of the women of America, you have
undoubtedly heard of the unpolitene3s of which
one of the most graceful and worthy among
them has had cause to complain at Madrid. I
refer to Madame Soule, wile of the Mini ter of
the United States. She was present with her
husband and son, at a ball given by the Marquis
de Turgot,on the 15th of November, in honoi of
the Empress of the French, when the brother
in-law of the latter, the Duke ol Alba, made a
jemark, as incomprehensible as it was unbecom
ing, as to the toilettol Madame Soule, which, by
the way,was the work of Palmyre, the Parisian
dress-m-'ker of the Queen Isabella herself. It
seems tha‘ the Duke of Alba thought ill of Ma
dame Soule having a dress high in the neck
whilst all the ladies of the court of Spain wore
dresses more or less low in the neck, and he had
said aloud, ‘there goes Margaret ot Burgundy.'
Just at this moment, Neiville Soule was passing
near, and, hearing the insult done to his mother
treated the grandee of Spain as a puppy. There
upon, great disturbance ensued. Mr. Soule im
mediately led off his son; but the latter, the
next day, sent two friends to the Duke ol Alba,
charged to "-squire ot him satisfaction by arms or
a written apology. The Duke at first refused
either reparation, under the ridiculous pretext of
there being a political difference at the founda
tion of the affair; but, according to report, pub
lic opinion having unanimously declared itself
against him—which ia not at ali strange in a
country renowned lor the chivalric respect which
it has at all times shown towards beauty the
Duke ended by excusing himself with good
grace, and acknowledging the wrong. In this
he acted handsomely; but the honor of the af
fair, nevertheless, remained with Nelville Soule,
who had the advantage ot performing the part of
a filial Rodrigeuz.”
Good Sense Fashion. —The N. Y. Times, in
the course of an article under the head ol “ A
Column of Talk for Young Men on Small Wa
ges,” has this plain and sensible paragraph on
the subject of dress:
“ Then as to dress—it is a great nonsense to
say that all must dress fashionably oi loose caste.
What is the fashion ? Who wears a fashionable
coat, and how do you know it is the fashion *
Tell us ot one substantial merchant, one thrifty
mechanic, one successful lawyer, or one gentle
man who wears it, and we will name ten of
each, equally noted and successful, who do not,
and ten fops whom you utterly despise, that do.’
The fashion in New York for men just now, re
quires a clean, decent garment, and no patches
on it—no more, no less. A lady might wear
her grandmother's shawl in BroaJway, and not
be noticed. The timid ones and those just in
from other cities and villages, alone are worried
about their looks when they wear last winter’s ,
bonnet to the lecture or to church. Let the !
young imitate the substantially and common
sensible, rather than those who are keeping up
appearance at a sacrifice. It will be a saving in
this item.”

The Houston Telegraph, of the 16th inst.,says
that letters have been received from Gen. Orville
Clarke, conveying the pleasing intelligence that
he had made arrangements with several heavy
capitalists to procure the necessary funds to pro
secute the work on the Galveston and Red River
Railroad.
The San Antonio Western Texan says that
the prospects for heavy crops of cotton and sugar
on the Colorado are very flattering, imparting
fine spirits to the farmers of that legion. They
have also raised an abundant of corn, and have
had a beautiful fall for gathering.
A man named Smith, who had recently arriv
ed from Virginia, was found dead in the prairie,
on the 9th inst., about six miles above Gonzales.
He wa9 supposed to have been intoxicated, and
died from the mingled effects of intemperance
and exposure.
The Austin State Times, of the 10th inst., has
the following Indian news:
The Lipans and Toncahuas are organizing an
expedition against the Camanches. The Caman
ches recently made a foray upon the former and
carried off near two hundred horses. The Lipans
and Toncahuas are determined to avenge the in
jury by retaliation. They and the Camanches
have been enemies for years. The Lipans once
claimed the greater portion of the territory now
occupied as a hunting ground by the Camanches.
The Toncahuas have receded from the vicinity
of the coast. They are greatly embittered against
the Camanches. Some trouble may originate
from the late depredation. Major Neighbors
will take timely and judicious steps to arrest the
movements; Major Howard being on leave, he
has taken temporary charge of these tribes.
The same paper has the following notice of
Indian depredations in Mexico :
A gentleman who has been traveling some
time in Mexico, represents the condition of the
Mexican States of Zacatecas and Durango as de
plorable indeed. Many districts are entirely de
populated and in possession of the Indians. They
have fastnesses in the mountains, to which they
retreat, when pursued by the Mexican troops.
By dexterous management they get the troops
entangled in the pass of a mountain and cut
them to pieces—a no very hard matter to ac
complish. A native of the ‘'magnanimous na
tion” will as naturally take to his' tiotters upon
the first glimpse oi an Indian, or the first sound
of the war-whoop, as he would perform any
other act. Fear of Indians is instinctive. A
Mexican can’t help it—it is a part of his educa
tion, instilled from early infancy. Unless the
Government of Mexico employs foreign soldiery
to operate against the savages, there is no telling
where the matter will stop. Mexicans them
selves have joined the Indians. Robbers, rene
gades and scoundrels find a safe refuge among
them. With these for guides and counsellors the
Camanches and Apaches have every advantage
over the unwarlike ranehercs.
The Governor of one of the Mexican States
offered a reward of $3,000 for a villain who had
led a band of Indians into tae heart of the coun
try. A Mexican followed him to San Carlos, on
the Rio Giande, made him drunk, carried him
back and received the reward. The wretch was
executed.
The Indianola Bulletin, of the 10th, says that
the stable ot Mr. James L. Allen, stage proprie
tor. was burned on the previous Wednesday
night, together with seven good American noi
ses. The stage only lost one trip, however,
The Bulletin also has the following paragraph
| on the subject of the Colorado raft:
We learn that Lieut. Stevens is progressing
1 very successfully in the work at the raft. He is
; not, however, as we had supposed, removing the
raft, but is laboring to make a channel around it,
by connecting certain lakes together and with
the river, on the route through which the steamer
Kate Ward got out of the river several years ago.
There are three large and deep lakes, which when
so united, will not only form a good channel but
make a considerable “cut off. J? There are twen
ty-live hands at work and everything goes on
well.
