The recent defection of Bishop Ives, from the , Protestant Episcopal Church, and his union with the Roman Catholics, have excited much spec ulation and elicited many comments, among which, the following, being from papers ol his own State, will be read with inteiest: rt., [Frans tkt Wttmilt&Jn Cimntrcial \ u We have several times alluded to the course S 4>f Bishop Ives,and believe we may now state that be has become a membjr of the Roman Catholic Church. We would correct an error that exists among the presses of our cou’.try. which have noticed this matter, in regard to the influence Mr. Ive’s . conduct will have upon the Protestant Episcopal Church. We assure the public that so far as the intelligent body of Christians who compose the Diocese of North Carolina is concerned. .Mr. Ive’s becoming a Roman Catholic will have no more eflect on them, than would the news that the Pope’s cat had kittened. “It is the belief of many that Mr. Ives has uwseveral years past, been periodical affected with mental aberration.

I assure you, sir, that the fault is nat i'.i the jftlanl'i nfice, and though yotr paper arrives ir regularly, it never fails to fall into the hands of your aubscribers here, as soon as we receive it I admit the irregularity, as it is a sheet anx iously sought after, and its failure to arrive is esteemed a serious matter.

The colonization of the Bay of Islands, by tin* British, is therefore claimed to be a distinct violation of that treaty. It appears that the islands are inhabited only by a few ne groes, whose principal chief is a runaway from the United States, and that the British commo dore of Belize has accepted homage from them, granted them a stipend, and induced them to raise the British flag. There is nothing in the Trocedute, so far, to alarm the United States. t is difficult to imagine wny the British Gov ernment, after voluntarily giving up the protec torate of the port of San Juan, which in the key to the Nicaragua transit, should, in violating of the treaty, undertake to colonize the compara tively unimportant island of Roatan, to which she made no prior ciairn, and the sovereignty of which belongs to the State 1 of Honduras. The probability is that the British Government will disclaim the act of her functionary at the Be lize. The Macon Telegraph. This sterling Democratic sheet has’changed hands, Mr. Ross, the surviving partner of Ray & Roos, having disposed of the paper to Messrs. H-SK. Green, J. M. Green and P. Tracy, who will conduct it in future. We wish them every success. The Macon Messenger, a Whig Journal, thus compliments the new proprietors . “ Messrs. J. M. & H. K. Green and P. Tracy have become the Editors and Proprietors of the Georgia Tdrgraph. They are all well known in our community as gentlemen of character, of talent, and of well-defined political principles, and under their joint control, the Telegraph will doubtless increase in interest and in efficiency, as a newspaper and party orgag. Wishing them success intheirflew avocation, We wel come them to the editorial fraternity, and trust our intercourse may be pleasant and profitable. We give below the happy salutatory in which they briefly define their position and the views upon which they design to act in the conduct of their journal. Mr. Ross, the surviving partner of the firm of Ray & Ross, withdraws from the paper, and our beet wulies follow him in his retirement" ! American Railroad Iron.—The New York j Banker'sCirculnr learns from a well authentica | ted statement that American Railroad Iron - manufactured from American pig, is in quality ' superior, by almost 3 fol, to the imported ar ticle. The following is the test furnished by I the engineers of the Reading Railroad—a route i belter calculated than any other in the United States, to try the qualities of iron rails : Annual wear of English ir0n...4 1-10 percent. ! Annual wear of American iron, t 4-10 “ On lines principally lor the conveyance of passengers, the wear is not so great, consequent i ly the difference in favor of American iron is less; but the nvergage disparity is about 2to I in the wear, being the diti'erefTJe in cost lot repairs. The Lowmoor iron, which atands highest in the estimation of our railroad mana i gers, is far inferior iu tenacity to ordinary Aine ' rican iron in use. I Dr. Rank’s Nkw Expedition.—The Balti j more Sun understands that Dr. E. K. Kane, o (the navy, is rapidly preparing for his daring en terprise of undertaking to find an open Polar sea. Theex|iedition will comprise but about thirty ■ men, but it is to be of the most complete ebar- I after in all its scientific and other details, and ■every man who belongs to it will be selected for some particular qualication and some special *’ I service in view fol him. Notwithstanding the o ■ desparate chai acter of the enteipaise, we learn o that volunteers for the service are constantly of ’• feting—only to be refused, for if we are not mis i- informed, the little band of adventurers is now X complete. The principal credit of this underta king belongs to Henry Grinnell, of New-York, and George Peabody, of London, who furnish the •* ' means, but it should not ln> forgotten that John • Pi Kennedy, the See■■■’ the» M ’'avy,has e”t* * j suredtbe completeness of the expedition liv iua„ • i *iriH<H»tirwt I the government. • The Florida Ir.2i.ms. i ’ The Mobile Herald of the 19th inst..says:— I We-had the pleasure this morning of an inter- : view with Mr. S. Bridges, just arrived from ■ Tampa Bay. He is in charge of a delegation of I Seminole Indians from the West, who recently j : visited Tampa for the purpose ot inducing the , t 1 remainder of their people to emigrate to the te- i gion allotted to them West of the Mississippi.— I I But in consequence of the conduct of Billy Bow- I i legs since his return from Washington, nothing could be effected and the delegation accordingly withdrew, and are now on their way home.— The party left to-day, at 1 o’clock, in the mail beat for New Orleans. “There was no news of importance at Tampa Bay, and nothing further had transpired in re gard to Bowlegs, or his future purpose. Mr. ! Bridges did not see him, but understood he had I I pledged himself not to take up arms again : nor ■ 1 would he and his people remove West unless force be employed, ft was also understood that . i Bowlegs and a part of his followers had retired . i • into their fastnesses in the everglades. Before ! I going he stated that the United States officer in , I command there, had advised him not to emigrate, ! < I assuring him that in case of good behavior on \ i i his part they would protect him. There is, i - however, placed but little reliance upon what . 1 ■ Billy says. | 1 : “ Mr. Bridges informs us that the Seminoles I < are well satisfied with their new homes, that ; 1 , they are industrious and in a highly prosperous , I 1 condition. The delegates on landing in Fiori- I 1 da, coaid not help contras’ing their present pos- I i sessions in the teeming and fertile West with the i i i sandy and sterile appearance of their old hunting I < ■ grounds in the South, and seemed for the first , ‘ time to appreciate fully the poverty of the soil ' lof the latter. No consideration would induce ' i them to go back to their ancient habitation." ' The State Road. The Chattanooga Gazelle, of the 35th inst., after noticing the resignation of Mr. Wadley, Superintendent of the State Road, says he will be succeeded by Mr. Young, of Atlanta, a gen tleman of some experience in the responsible j ' duty that he will undertake. The Southern Presbyterian.—We learn, ■ ( (says the Federal Union,) that the publication , oftlbls I’aper uas baeu transferred to CharleeLfei. We are gratified co hear thuii the piuspeet of a ; , i steady and increased support is fairer than ever. . , Its temporary suspension will not impair its en- , ■ or damage its prospects. Mr. Baird, its i editor is now in Charleston miking airange ments for the future. i The seat of Mr. Benjamin, U. S. Senator from I Louisiana, elected by the Whigs in place of I , DoWng, may be contested. The new coustitu j tion of that State requires all officers to be elect led under it. The present Legislature, being , j largely Democratic, may elect two of their own , stripe to the United States Senate, and that body I wfll have the question to decide between the I present incumbents and the new ones, if elect , ed. Mr. Benjamin was born on the island of St. , 1 Thomas, and is.charged with not having been I naturalized. This raises a very curious question, j The South West Georgian, published at Ogle thorpe, Ga , has been merged into the Southern ’ Democrat, published at the same place. The Georgian was a victim to the credit system, the ■ ; editor having been starved out in the laudable I work of furnishing newspapers to non-paying- I subscribers. The extensive clock factory in Bristol, Con necticut, belonging to Mr. Brown, was totally I ’ cotisumed by fire on Thursday night, together with all the valuable machinery and materials. The loss is estimated at $40,000, upon which I ■ tuare is an insurance of $30,000. It is not known : : how the fire originated. Important Decision. I We hope our readers will excuse our delay in | 1 i publishing the following important information. I . From the date of the first announcement of the | 5 decision we have not lost sight of the interest- I 1 ing subject, but fearing to be premature we have i > ; waited for its confirmation. We now have the , - ’ most reliable foreign and domestic authority for i s making the publication below. The decision i • i h*s been made by persons of well known posi ’> ? tion in “what is called society, "■ and may be re r ; lied on as authentic by the uninitiated. We ex t I tract from the Homs Journal, edited by Nathaniel P. Willis, whose claim to position will not be Jenied. Mr. Willis ssys:—“The disputed question— ; l May a gentleman wear a fiock coat at an even- i I ing party J seems to have been decided in the ' i affirmative; and, accordingly, young gentlemen ' ■ take particular pleasure in wearing that long oh- , I noxious garment, wit;, the additional innovation ' ;of black neckerchiefs. White waistcoats are ; generally discarded, and white kids yield prece , dence to gloves of color.” There are other questions of grave importance 'to society at present under dismission. We pro ! rnise our readers to keep them in view, and as ' soon as they are authoritatively determined, to I publish them for the benefit of all civilized com- i munities and the rest of mankind. : - ' TURfci'rt Iksukrzctiox.—Accounts from Con . : stantinople. of the 16th, state that the B«ltan had ordered Imai’ Pacha to advance with 14,000 | men against the Montenegrins. Unfortunately [ ' for the Porte, seven districts had declared against its authority, and, to add to the difficulty, Omer > I Pacha, the Turkish Commander-in-Chief in the f | disturbed district, had resigned. The Eastern j ' Aranout districts have sided with the Govern . inent, and request arms to equip 1,000 men. The Alexandria, Va., Gazette learns that a j variety of what are called “spiritual manilesta z tions,” took place at the house of the Postmas ter General in Washington, the other evening, , iu the presence of Hon. John Bell, Gov. Davis, f j Professor Henry and other gentlemen.

During the last three years, the annual average of births, marriages, j and deaths to the population was one birth to s thirty-six persons, one marriage in 102 persons, I and one death in 58, During the same period, the proportion of males has been 106 malesand r 106 females. Consumption carried off more than ten persons every day. AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORN 12, 1853. Kcausr’s Patent Double Pointed Plough. We would call the attention of planters to this new Plough which is becoming very popu lar. As the name indicates, it is a double point ed plough, the shear being curved and made of wrought iron,—the edges’ tipped with steel.— By unscrewing a belt in the centre, the plough shear can be reversed, and when the point is worn, any blacksmith can easily put it in good working order. Mr. Reaney is a Georgian, and resides in Columbia co., where, we are pleased to learn, lie is kept busily employed iu filling orders. Col. B. S. Jordan, who is one of our largest and most intelligent planters, we understand, oidered two to make a trial with, and so well pleased was he with their performances, that he has since ordered fifty more. Mr. 8. A. Vetdery, at Messrs. W. K. Jackson & Co's. Dry Goods store, is the Agent in this city. Hamburg and Edgefield Plank Road. We are gratified to learn that this road is do ing a flourishing business. About nineteen miles on the main road, and five miles on a branch have been finished and are now in use. The Company, we learn, on the 24th inst., declared a dividend of fourteen per eent. The road to Edgefield C. H., will be completed by the 4th of July next. Already Hamburg and Augusta are reaping the benefit ol this enterprise. Cotton and other produce which formerly found a mar ket at Columbia, are now brought this way, and planters will find it to their interest to trade with us. as they will, by so doing, be able to realize more tor their produce, and have a larger and better assortment of merchandise and gro ceries to select from. “ Tire Mails.—The Augusta Constitutional ist, »f Frwk«v publishing a letter from AXJtiuto of :*. i.<g th t here is,as we very well “•o-A, a provoking uncertainty and irregularity | in present mail arrarigments, and it is but right | that Post Masters should be publicly noticed I when the fault can be traced to their offices, but i in this ease we think our friend of the Constitu- I tionalist has imputed blame where it does not properly rest. We have the same difficulty in I receiving < nr Augusta and other eastern exchan ges, as the dissatisfied subscriber of the Constitu tionalist; but when they do not reach us at the right time, they very often come to hand after wards by the State Road orthe La Grange Road. This occurrs frequently two or three times a week. Papers that should stop here go on to Montgomery, Ala., and are sent back or are re turned from the State Road. We think they And their way into the Montgomery, or State Road Mai! Bags, at the Augusta Post Office. These Bags on the arrival of the Geoigia Cars in this city, are i ntnediately transferred to the State, or La Grange Cars, without seeing the Atlanta Post Office at all, and are only over hauled when they reach their destination, when the missing packages are returned." We copy the above from the Atlanta Intelli gencer, of the 27th inst. It is not our desire to blame any particular person or office, for the miscarriage of our paper, but the complaints of late, have been so numerous, that we have re solved, if possible, to find out where the fault is. Papers directed to Atlanta, may be placed in the wrong bag and find their way up the State Road or to Montgomery and back, but the Postmaster in this city, has nothing to do with our daily edition, for it is generally worked off at about four o’clock in the afternoon, and placed on board the Georgia Cars. If they do not reach then destination, the fault is between the Post Mas ters on the Georgia Rail Road and the Post Of fice at Atlanta. So far as regards the Post Mas ters on the Geoigia Road, as far as our knowl edge extends, we have found them very careful in their duties, and hear few complaints from any of the other offices on their route. The Charleston Courier says:—By a reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that the Graniteville Manufacturing Company, at Graniteville, in this State, have declared a Semi- Annual Dividend of three per cent, on their Cap ital Stock for the last six months. It affords us much pleasure to learn from this notice that the Company is again in “thefull tide of successful experiment," and to learn also, as we do from those well informed in regard to its future pros pects, that still larger Dividends may be confi dently expected in future.

ScpREFE Court.—The Supreme Court com menced its session in Columbus, on Monday the 24th inst. Judges Lumpkin, Warner and Nis bet, presiding. There are forty cases on the Docket, and a large number of Attorneys in attendance. It will probably require two weeks to dispose of the Docket.

Messrs. Editors :— I have recently read the proceedings of the commercial convention that assembled in your-city some weeks since.. The ; object certainly is very-desirable, ‘<ut, to increas • ; your Southern trade, there must be added to this ; convention, and that costly entertainment, a ’ practical enterprise on the part of your citizens, ; viz: a weekly line of side-wheel steamships, ■ connecting your city with Charleston and Sa- i vannah. With this facility for transportation, i you will receive a greatly augmented trade from the States of South Carolina and Georgia. Your correspondent is induced to pen this communi cation, after a stay in these States of six weeks, during which he has seen much of their trade, and is assured by their most respectable mer chant* of their desire to increase the trade with Baltimore, but, for want of a certain and direct steamship conveyance to their seaports, they order from New York. Your correspondent was particularly plea«ed I with the city of Augusta, and surprised to find j ; that her trade, in some respect^exceeds that of : ' Savannah or Charleston. Your merchants l i should cultivate a trade with Augusta. They] ' will find the Augusta Hotel, with mine host | Peckham, and his gentlemanly assistant, Dent, I every thing to be desired, and after dinner, the ; Baltimore Sun is always there, with the news I from the “OldFblks at' Home.” M. Fork Packing BatablHhment. A correspondent of the''Baltnnore Sun, wri ting from on board of a steamer onthe Ohio riv- I er, under date of the 13th inst., thus notices I new Pork Packing establishment at Wheeling: I “ One of the most attractive establishments ! iu Wheeling to the visitor is the extensive pork packing establishment of Messrs. Warren. Dun lap and Co., situated near the mouth of Wheel ing Creek, built and constructed on the model of the most approved establishments of Cincin nati. The process of killing, scalding, cleaning, | and hanging up was going on with a rapidity ; that was truly astonishing. The hogs were driven into the killing pen one at a time, knock | ed down with a blow from a hammer on the ] head, and by the time they were fairly off their ; feet the knife of the skilful operators hadsever- I ed their windpipes, and in another instant they l were in the scalding vat, on a frame work, by I which they are passed through the boiling wa iter without handling; even before life wa* ex tinct, their entrails were removed, and in less ■ than it takes me to describe the process, the animal cleaned and ready to be cut and quarter ered was hanging in the cooling room. Steam is used most successfully in this establishment, not only as a labor-saving power in hoisting and in grinding corn for the vast pens of hogs, cov ering eight acres of ground, attached to the es tablishment, but in so extracting the fat from the heads and oliiil of the animal in immense vats that even the bones and teeth are changed in the process to a crumbling powder. The whole hog is some timas thrown into these vats, and is drawn out below, and by other process made into lard,oil and stearine. Thus the whole hog. bristles and all, is renddred of value, and even the cracklins and sediments of the vats are, when mixed with corn, again turned into pork, being used for feeding and fattening the droves of hogs in the pens. “ The whole number of hogs killed and pack ed at this establishment thus far in the season has been 19,000, and about 4,000 more will be killed—making 23,000 in all; which, consider dering the fact that this is the first season any establishment of the kind has been in operation in Wheeling, shows a good coinmencetnont.” [Ct>n>iwndencr of the Ch u lesion Sl,rcui'y-V' ’ Washinciton, Jan. 1!>; 1853,r The interest increase* as the session progrti se«, and a general allowing of hands in the Sen ate is now taken place in relation to our Foreiqi policy, whe discuMlon of those questions vrai • resumed yesterday by Gen, Cass, in another o i his elaborate speeches, written oi)i as usual, li ( this latter speech he takes decidedly a I'illibus t tering turn, and having demolished George liav and the steamboat spculntion in tin.; kind o I stock, (as he supposes.) now seems disponed ti > commence trading on the relics of their cepit il The steps forward in this speech are quite a i marked and ns unexpected, as the steps back wards in his pro-Filhuore and anli-Law speed I ol a few weeks since. The fact is, the Genera I will persist in reminding the public of Duifii . Quickly, ‘ a man knows not where to havi him.” Os course any speech carefully prepare! ’ by »ne of Gen. Cass’s great experience am ■ knowledge of political history, could not fail t< contain something both of interest and instruc tion, but candor will compel his warmest eulo gists to admit that this speech contains not,hiui ■ that is new, and little that is striking. Th< i most racy parts are the diatribes against Erg land, and that hai become so habitual witl Gen. Cats as to be regarded as a matter ol course. Still there is pith and point in what h< says on that subject. The rest of the speed i scarcely rises above a dead level, and is only in, • terrsting as affording some evidences of the pre- sent position of the speaker. His resolutions yon will remember, run as follows: <■' ■ Be it raolveil, That the United States do here by tiaelare that “ the American continents, by -the free, independent condition which they hayt assumed and maintain, are henceforth note to be considered as subjects for luture colonization !•’; any European Power.” and wfiile “existtira rights should be respected,” and will be iw the United States, they owe it to their own satdyj H'id interests” to announce, as thqjf-I'*” 1 ; that no future European colony ! ill. with theircensentAe.pjjphb’cho’ as an act originating in motives regardless of their “interests and their safety;” and which wilt leave them free to adopt such measures as an independent nation may justly adopt in de fence of its rights and its honor. And be it further reeolued, That while the Uni ted States disclaim any designs upon the Island of Cuba, inconsistent with the laws ol nations and with their duties to Spain, they' consider it due to the vast importance of the subject to make known, in this solemn manner, that they should view all efforts on the part of any other Power to procure possesesion, whether peaceably or forcibly, of that Island, which as a naval or military position must, under circumstances easy to be foreseen, become dangerous to their Southern coast, to the Gulf of Mexico, and to the mouth of the Mississippi, as unfriendly acts directed against them, to be resisted by' all the means in their power. Now these resolutions may mean a great deal, or they may mean just nothing at all. Gen. Cass is of the former, your Senator Butler seelns to be of the latter, opinion and has joined issue thereon. Gen. Csss spoke for an hour by' Shrewsbury vlock. The subject ot his story was the necessity of a formal reiteration of the Monroe doctrine; Judge Butler’s objection was addressed to the Cuibono l Gen. Cass foreshadowed in,his remarks on the Cuba question the well-known views ol Mr. Soule on that subject, and which that Senator will fully unfold when he gets the floor next week. It is now understood that the Cuban Junta, which certainly is the best judge as to tne modus operandi, approve cordially' ot Mr. Soule s idea, that Spain will not consent to treat for the sale of Cuba, and that this country ought not to ask it, but that Cuba should be eneouraged to make arrangements with Spain for her own in dependence, and the United States stand sponsors for the performance of her stipulations. Gen. Cass only squinted at the idea, and put it as an ; alternative, but he stood committed to the pur chase policy, which may be now regarded as an exploded idea. The possibility ot effecting any arrangement now is dubious, but bath policy and ■ good faith would seem to require the abandon ment both of the filibustering and of the purchase plans of acquisition. With reference to the re- i assertion of the Monroe doctrine, your Senator Butler worried Gen. Cass very badly,and brou. ut him to his feet several times in “ personal ex- j planations.” The gravamen of Mr. Butler’s allegations,was, firstly, that Gen. Cass had shot at nothing, and hit it 1 and, secondly, that he had given an erro neous construction to the bionroe Resolutions. The effect of his assault on his adversary was very perceptible, and the questions raised, were of such interest as to authorise very careful in vestigation. Mr. Hale followed in a long ram bling speech, made up partly of froth, partly of tree-soil, and partly of jokes. The latter were decidedly the best part of the ingredients.

It is indeed progressive, and shows the piton to which Abolition insolence can rise. The Lrathus puts . the issue, The party and progress—the true Democratic Party—devoted to the establishment and spread of the Democratic Principle, can as se iTto no such short-sighted and timid policy. ; It rejects the alternative submitted to the coun try—Pro-Slavery Propagandism, or Pro-Slavery Conservatism. It spurns sectional domination, j It does not accept the Slave Power as its leader j or counsellor. It will consent to no bargain or ! arrangement by which slavery will agiee to lie still,on condition that Liberty will arrest ns march. It will recognize Freedom as a good to | be extended, Slavery as an evil to be limited, aud ■ when the interests of American Empire and In- ' stitutions shall require territorial acquisition, it will ask, What is just ’ not, What is the will of the Slave Power 7 Its motto will be Democra- I <-y and Progress, not Slavery and Conservatism? . I We are for the extension of American Empire ; I for the sake of extending American dtutions. I ! We want Cuba, Canada, the Sandwich Islands, j 1 and as much more of the American continent as i ; may be had honestly, and by the joint operation ; ■ of natural causes and a wise diplomacy, for tne 1 purpose of establishing under our great Confede racy Liberty, the Rights of Conscience, Equali ty, Free Labor, Free Trade, Peace, and Perpe tual Growth. J , ~ Shall their low and sordid aims turn us aside from a policy sanctioned by Nationality and Hu manity, by the best interests of our country, and the claims of Mankind 1 Shall we, in dread of Pro-Slavery Propagandism, submit to the leaden rule of Pro-Slavery Conservatism > This alternative has been presented to the old i parties, and we know the result. The Whig party, distrusting the people, consulting the de i mands of capital, seeking party unity, followed i the lead of Pro-Slavery Conservatism, in its op ! position to territorial growth. It was willing to I forego the acquisition of even free territory, if its , Southern allies would abstain from the extension I of slave territory. It chose to set perpetual lim i its to American Empire and American Institv -4 tious, rather than enceunter the hazards of a struggle with the Slave Power. The same al ternative will tw> presented to the Ailrninivt| jtjfW of Gen Pierce. Ho must decide betwee.TSi'*"’* ry Propagandism, and Slavery Conservatism. There is some truth apd some force in the views thus presented, as to she choice tendered the South by the Abolitionists—the South must either stand to herarms, or surrender, and with out even the promise of quarter I Slavery must stand or fall by the firmness of its supporters;—must either have scope and play for its expansive energies, or perish in the midst of the cordon drawn strictly around it. The exodus of slaves from the border States of late, under the operation of the fugitive slave law, has been so great as to impair the value of that property seriously there, while further South negioes are commanding a premium.— They go not singly over the border, but in bat talions, hundreds per month—and they find aid and comfort in abundance from the law-abiding people of the North. The Lemmon cases are rare, but ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ is the bible of many otherwise decent people, and the sympa thies are all on the wrong side. Under these circumstances, it the extension of our area be “manifest destiny,” as even Whig premiers and Democratic leaders concur in pos ' itively asserting, it is equally manifest what Southern destiny will be if her people do not stand up more boldly for their rights, and lor the l preservation of a balance of power, than they ‘ did in the case of the late partition <d' 1850. The cue has been taken by Mr. Everett, who , figured last night at the Colonization Society, as Mr. Clay did during life, only carrying hi. re j cently acquired Fillibuster spirit into it, and pal . ing the ineffectual fires of his co-laborers. Mr. | Everett delivered a most able and artful address, . calculated to leinstate him in the opinion of his! , down-East brethren, who had been shocked at J i his filibmterism. Like Mrs. Jellyby, “keeping his fine eyes fixed on Africa,” with an oblique squint at John Davis’s seat in the Senate, with the White House in ’56 in the background. i Mr. Everett re-echoed the cant of Exeter Hall, and gave indirect countenance to the noble ladies of Great Britain.

And yet for several years past intelligence ol any interest in the Post Office Department has appeared for the first time usually iu the Baltimore Sun—an ticipating the official promulgation of it by one of its correspondents acting as a clerk in the Department. Nor has this abuse been confined to the Post Office or to the correspondent of the Baltimore Sun.

I We open our eyes, as it were, from a dream, ! upon the realities that are around and before us. 1 We see “passing away” written upon all things i of this world. We feel that we are mere so journers, probationers here, and seem to esti mate, with an approximation to truth, the great interests of eternity, as compared with those of time. I do earnestly desire to keep awake to ’ these matters—not to fall into the spell, where, 1 as it were from necessity, we look through a false medium, which places eternity so far off, and gives to the things of time such vast mag- I nitude and disproportionate importance. J remember well the conversation on our tide to the G., to which, I suppose, you refer. The cohvictions of my judgment have long been strong and decided, but the little influence they have had upon my life is a sad illustration of the ' great truth, “ With the heart man believeth unto righteousness. ; i y.-L - ing.

He is, as we firmly believe, “ Where no blight fall On the beautiful-rose of youth.” He was a bright, affectionate, manly boy—the pride and joy of his father’s heart—the light and iif’e of our home.

We are sure the reader will peruse,with much : pleasure, the subjoined note from Rishop Elliott and the accompanying extract from the proceed ings of the Asiatic Society. The researches of scientific men heretofore have been confirmatory of the authenticity of the Bible, and it is suf ficient to know that, should they be otherwise according to man’s finite reason, in the future, that Book contains the strongest internal evi dence of its truth and Divine origin : Editors Savannah Republican.—Gentle men : Seeing in your issue of Saturday morn ing an extract from the Tribune in relation to the Prophecies of Daniel, 1 send you from the London Athenaeum of the date ot December 11th, an extiact from the proceedings of the Asiatic Society of December 4th, containing the latest letters from Col.. Rawlinson. Noth ing is said in these letters respecting the 'Book oT Daniel, and in so far they furnish merely ne gative testimony against the paragraph from the Tribune, but they are valuable because the cyl ’ inders confirm the Scripture Chronology with : regard to the capture of Samaria to a year, and the Palestine campaigns of Sennacherib to within eight yeais. By turning to any Ox for Bible you will see an account of the capt ure of Samaria, at the 6th verse of the 17th chap ter of II Kings, and opposite the date B. C. 721, and by turning to II Kings, XIX, you will find the Palestine campaigns of Sennach erib to be credited to the years B. C. 710—;09 that is, twelve years after the capture of Samaria instead of twenty, as made out by Col. Rawlin sona very unimportant difference where things so far are in a measure conjectural. This does, not look very much like any confutation ot Scripture by the discoveries of Layard and Rawlinson. Nay, I have heretofore supposed that Layard’s discoveires have been the most remarkable confirmations of Scripture which we have had since those made by Laborde at Petra. I have no sort of doubt, that if there is any truth in the paragraph, Daniel will be found I quite eqval to meet Col. Rawlinson. l •‘'’'gaActlrHy. ob : t } ' * S-'epf.e.s Elliott. j Axiaiic, Dec; <—■Sir George Staunton in the chair. The Assistant Secretary read extracts from letters which he had received from Col. Rawlinson, communicating some of the results of his recent investigations. In a letter dated the 4th of September, the Colonel announced his discovery, that the series of six kings named in the inscriptions of Van were contemporane ous with the kings of the Assyrian line from Sardanapalus to Sennacherib. The synchron isms are seen at three periods :—Luti pari is found contending with Sardanapalus, his son, Semiduri, is attacked by Deleboras, and the fifth Van monarch, Argisti, is an antagonist of Sargon. The Colonel remarks that, in addition to the historical interest afforded by this deter mination of the date ol the Van inscriptions, it gives satisfactory evidence that the Assyrian royal series is complete in our lists; and it is fur ther curious to observe, that the earliest inscrip tions in Armenia and Assyria are by contem porary kings. In a subsequent letter,dated 25th of September, Col. Rawlinson gives some ac count of one of the Khorsabad cylinders; which he finds to contain a list of the titles and con quests of Sargon, and a notice of the building of Khorsabad, very much like what isincribed on the bulls. He finds, however, some important variations,—such as, carrying off the tribes of Tamud, Yanadid, Eslyaman, and Gasipa from the neighborhood of Samaria ; though be says that the extremely minute and difficult charac ter of the writing renders the names, all but the first, somewhat uncertain. He also reads upon itan account of the capture of Tyre, which he has not seen among the oth er inscriptions of Sargon. These cylinders con firm the Colonel’s previous opinion, that the capture of Samaria took place in the first year I ot Sargon’s reign, B. C. 721, at least twenty years before the Palestine compaigns of Senna cherib. He expects more certain results from the other cylinder, which he is informed is more perfect, and in a larger character. In the two letters read, the Colonel complained of attacks of illness : and in a third letter, dated the 15th of October, written in a tent at Ctesiphon, he says, that he is driven out of Bagdad by sickness, and ordered by his medical attendant to go in to the country, and leave mental exercise for a while. He has, however, begun to open some mounds at Selucia. which look promising. The Colonel, towards the end of this letter, states his conviction, that the era of Nabonasar marks the introduction of Assyrian writing into Baby lonia, where a kind of hieroglybic only was previously in use. He thought he had found evidence that the hieroglyphic writing had been carried to Assyria eleven or twelve centuries before the Christian era, improved there, made partially phonetic, and reimported in its altered shape at the epoch mentioned. The Colonel gives one case of the obvious change from the picture to the letter, and could trace the change in twenty instances.

The Monsu Meuchant.—There is a mer chant, in Baltimore, who, in adopting certain rules for his future guidance,resolved many yeais since, that he never would be worth more than 55000. It is said, in accordance with this res olution,he has given away many thousand of dol lars, and not less than $24,000 for the promo tion of the Gospel. His donations are made un der an assumed name, and very few persons know who the real giver is. A gentleman, the other day, visiting a school, had a book put into his hand for the purpose of examining a class. “What is the meaning of the word ‘tnheritanoe” “Patrimony.”— “ What is patrimony.” “Something left by a • father.” “ What would you call it if left by a mother?” “Matrimony.” s Smai-i.

Ina little village in the State of Hoosierana, in the year 1844, there was “all sorts” of ex citement concerning the doctrines and prophe cies of that arch deceiver, Miller. For months Midnight Cry, followed by the Morning Howl, and the Noonday Yell, had circulated through the village and surrounding counties, to an ex tent not even equalled by Dr. D.’s celebrated speech. Men disposed of their property for lit tle or nothing. The women were pale and ghastly from watching and praying, and in fact the whole population, or at least those who be lieved in the coming ascension, looked as if they were about half over a second attack of the chills and fever. There were, however, some, ‘choice spirits’ who, notwithstanding the popu larity of the delusion, would not enlist under the banner of the a»censionists, and among them was a wild harum-scarum blade from ‘Down East,’ known by the name of Cabe Newham. Now Cube was as hard ‘a case’ as you would meet on a Fourth of July in Texas, always alive for fun and sportof any and every description, and a strong disbeliever in Millerism. The night of the third of April was the time agreed upon out West for the grand exhibition of‘ground and lofty tumbling,’ and about ten o’clock of the same night, numbers of Millerites , assembled on the outskirts ol the town, on a lit tle eminence, upon which the proprietor had al lowed a few trees to stand, in the crowd, and the only representative of Lis race present, was '■ a free negio by the name of Sam, about as ug , ly, black, woolly, and rough a descendant of 1 Ham as ever baked his shins over a kitchen fire. Sam’s head was small, body and arms very long; and his legs bore a remarkable resem blance to a pairofhames; in fact, put Sam on a horse, his legs clasped round its neck, his head towards the tail, and his arms clasped round the animal’s hums, and at ten paces off, you would swear he was an old set of patent gearing. The leader ot the Millerites, owing 1o an ‘an cient grudge he bore him,’ hated Sam ‘ like smoke,’ and bad done all in his power to prevent i his admittance among the ‘elect,’ jbnf all to no, J'urj n-“; °.-»n would creep in at evary meeting/ and 'fa-night here he was again, dressed in a /retMn secured to his, body by a belt, and shouting and praying «. the best. Now, on the morning of the third, Cabe had, with a deal of perseverance, and more trouble, managed to throw a half inch hemp eord over the branch of an oak that stretched its Jong arm directly over the spot where the Millerites would assemble; one end he had secured to the body of the tree, and the other to a slump some dis tance off. About eight o’clock, when the excitement was getting about ‘eighty pounds to the inch,’ Cabe, wrapped in an old sheet, walked into the crowd, and proceeded to fasten, in as secure a manner as possible, the end of the rope to the back path of the belt which confined Sambo's robe, and having succeeded,‘sloped’ to join some of his I companions who had the other end. The few l stars in the skj’ threw a dim light over the i scene, and in a few moments the voice of Sam I was heard exclaiming: ‘Gor A’mighty 1 I’s a-goin’ up 1 Wlio-o-o-oh I’ And, sure enough, Sam was seen mounting into the ‘ethereal blue;’ this was, however, checked, when he had cleared ‘terra firma’ a few feet .-«*** “Glory!’ cried one, “Hallelujah!’ aijiSAj and shrieks and yells made night hideousl*?***- fainted, others prayed, and not a few dropped their robes and‘slid.’ Now, whether it was owing to the lightness of his head, orthe length and weight of his heels, or both, Sam’s position was not a pleasant one; the belt to which Cube’s cord was attached, was bound exactly round his centre of gravity, and Sam swung like a pair of scales, head up and heels down, heels up and head down, at the same time sweeping over the crowd like a pendulum, which motion was accelerated by his strenuous clapping of hands, and vigorous kicking.— At length he became alarmed, he wouldn’t go up, and he couldn’t come down. ‘ Lora massy,’ cried he, jist take up poor nig ger to Um bosom, or lef him down again easy, easy. Les him down again, please um Lor, and dis nigger, will go straight to um bed I ugh-h-h,” and Sam’s teeth chattered with affright, and he kicked again more vigorously than before, bring ing his head directly downward and his heels up, when a woman shrieking out, ‘ Oh ! brother Sain, take me with you,” sprung his head as he swept by her, and caught him by the wool, bringing him up “ all standing.” “Gosh 1 sister,’ cried Sam, ‘ lef go um poor niggers har.” Cabe gave another pull at the robe, but the additional weight was too much, the belt gave way, and down came Sam, his bullet head tak ing the leader of the saints a * feeler’ just between the eyes. ‘ Gosh, is I down again ?’ cried the bewilder ed Sam, gathering himself up. ‘ I is, bless ue Lor 1 but 1 was nearly dar, I seed de gate t The leader wiped bis overflowing proboscis, took Sam by the nape of the neck, led him to the edge of the crowd, and giving him a kick,. “ Leave, you cussed baboon 1 you are so ugly 1 know’d they wouldn’t let you in.” Social Manners in America— Hints for La nr,a The N. Y. Post has been permitted to print a fowSxiraets.'iom £u unpub lished manuscript on social manners in this country, from which we take the following hints to ladies and gentlemen : When you hear a man insisting upon points of etiquette and fashion; wondering, for instance, how people can eat with steel forks and survive it, or what charms existence has for persons who dine at three without soup and fish, be sure that that individual is a snob. It is almost unnecessary to mention that the table cloth is not the place to put your salt. Bread is the only comestible which the custom of well-bred people permits to be laid off trom your plate. If you break a vase,or statuette, or any little etagere knick-knaek in the house of an acquaint ance, never mind it. Treat it as a matter of no consequence; even if you know that it wrings his pocket. Always precede a lady in going up stairs. This maxim is a legacy from a maiden aunt. When you enter a public room the French practice of raising the hat, as a general ialutation, is much to be commended. Never ask your wife to sing for a friend. Ten to one he detests vocal music, unless ol the high est order. Show, but do not show off, your children to strangers. Recollect in the matter ofchidren how many are bom every hour, each one almost as remarkable as yours in the eyes of its papa and mamma. It is hard to say which has the most clownish appearance ; to move the lips in silent reading ; or to wet the finger in turning over the leaves ot the book. Do not go to an evening party in black gloves even if you have lost a relation. If your feel ings are too deeply lacerated for yellow kills, stay at home. Keep your nails cut short. None but barber’s boys and blacklegs are entitled to the distinction of a long Chinese talon. W’hen presented, nev er offer your hand; if offered to you on such an occasion, touch it slightly. When you meet a friend in a public place, do not shout his name so that every by-stander may know who he is. Never ask a friend the price of a thing he has bought, nor praise things by their prices. Cultivate the good will of weak-minded talk ative people. They will bo as useful as the par rots of Apsethus. He taught his birds to repeat “ Apsethus is a god,” and let them fly. Your un feathered bipeds can be caught by a little kindness and attention, and taught without pains, to proclaim in house and highway. “ Blank is an excellent fellow.” If this is said often enough, no matter by whom, some one is, sure to believe it. Moderation is the best general rule for conduct in social life. Moderation in manners, modera tion in language, moderation in dress, moderation in feeling, moderation in everything but person al neatness, With these, a kind and yielding spirit, and a decent share of self-respect, a man can guide smoothly through the world, if not pleasantly. One last counsel—a hard one to follow—learn to grow old gracefully. Advice to Young Ladies. BY FANNY FERN. « Whfia the spirit moves you to amuse yourself with “shof-ping,” h* mint to uk the sot fc thousand and one articles you have no intention of buying. Never mind about the trouble you. make him; that is part of the trade. Pull the fingers of the gloves you are examining, quite out of shape ; enquire for some nondescript color or some scarce number, and when it is found, think you won’t take any this morning; then keep him an hour hunting your sun-shade, which you at length reeollect you “left at home,” and depart without having invested a single cent. When you enter a crowded lecture room, and a gentleman rise* politely, (American gentle men always do,) and offers to give up his seat, (that he came an hour ago to secure for himself,) take it as a matter of course; and don’t trouble, yourself to thank him even with a nod of your head. As to feeling uneasy about accepting it, t hat’s ridiculous 1 because if he don’t fancy stand ing during the service, he’s at liberty to go home ; it's a free country. Should you receive an invitation to a concert, s manage to accept it, conditionally, leaving a ! door of escape, should a more eligible offer pre sent itself. When solicited to sing at a party, decline un til you have drawn around you the proper num ber of entreating swains ; then yield gracefully, 5 as if it were at a great sacrifice of your timidity. Flirt with an admirer till the lust end of tho chapter; and then be “so taken by surprise,” , when he makes the declaration you are driving I at. As “practice makes perfect,’’every succes sive attempt of this kind wilr make you more ■ expert in angling for hearts, besides exerting it i beneficial effect upon your character. i As to cultivating your mind, that’s all waste powder—you have better ammunition to attack the enemy: and as to cultivating your heart, there’s no use talking about a thing that’s un ; fashionable. So, al ways bear in mind that all a pretty woman is sent into the world for is to display as they come out—waltz, flirt, dance, a>ing, uud play the old Harry generally.
