A Biro Visitation.—We learn from an au thentic source, that in e-veral of the Northern counties of the State, the foilage of the forest trees has been, in certain districts, so generally devoured that most of the limbs are entirely stript of their leaves, by a brown bug, which flies at. dusk and settles upon them. It is about an inch long, and about a quarter of an inch in width across its back. It has nothing peculiar in its appearance. During its flight in the eve ning, the air is filled with a low roaring or hum ming noise.— Cm.

The youth Z. bad . called upon the lair “Cornelia” but once after bis introduction to her at Mrs. H.’s, and then he 1 'whs so “o'ercast with timidity- that he scarce | spake three wqids to the one that these gossips would have it he was to be married, to.

No. 3 start ed out, and before daik it was in the mouth of every man. woman and child within the incor porate limits of whatever town this scene may be laid, that Z. and Miss Cornelia W. were to be married on the Wednesday following. This is one of the many harmless scenes of j gossip which daily occur, yet there are others al- I most amounting to slander, to which we do not ; , choose to allude. Reader.such a state of things | in an intelligent, well-educated community are i to be deplored: and is it not the duty ot that i community to rise up and frown down all who | are disposed to trade in a commodity whose only I profit is heart-burnings, jealously and tears?—| We intend, when we encounter one of these 1 w gossipping clubs,” to take opposite sides, and : use what little sarcasm we have in ridiculing the petty employment in which they are en- j gaged, and in defending the victims of their un- I ruly tongues. “ In fact, there’s notliingruakes meso much grieve As that abominable tit«le-tattle, Which is the cud eschewed by human cattle,” It is related of Antaeus, whJSfrfred W?Wres tle with the gods, that, if they could by any: means induce him to leave his mater terra, and grapple with them, they found little difficulty in worsting him ; but so long as he could keep his feet firmly planted upon his native soil, he was more than a match for them. When men outgrow their true position, and aim to live removed from the cares and duties of life, like Antaeus, lose their footing and fall. In order to battle successfully we should never forsake our sphere. Thousands are kept poor by | apin" the customs and notionsof the rich, and I thousands who are rich become poor, because they are to ■ proud to use the same efforts to keep that it requires to accumulate. The fol lowing is an excellent hit at this species of aris tocracy : , ~ It is always a petnloris thing for haughty peo ple folook back upon the line of their ancestry. Twenty years ago, says the Merchant’s Maga- this one butchered, that one made candles, another sold cheese and butter, a fourth carried on a distillery ; another was contractor on canals - others where merchants and mechanics. They are acquainted with both ends ot society, as their children will be after them, though it will not do to say so loud. For often yon will find that those toiling worms hatch buterflies, and they live about a year. Death brings divis ton*m >t filings new financiers: the young gentleman takes his revenues and begins to travel—towards poverty, which he bcfori ■ giiihwor *-“• chddum, hu doesnot. So that, in fact, though there is a moneyed rank.it is not hereditary—it is acces sible to all ; three good seasons of cotton will send a generation of men up, a score of years will bring them all down, and send their chil dren again to labor. The father grubs and grows ! rich ; his children struts and use the money; their children inherit the pride, and go to shift less poverty ; their children, reinvigorated by fresh plebian blood, and by the smell of the clod, come up again. Thus society, like a tree, draws its sap from the earth, change into leaves and blossoms, spreads them abroad in great glory, sheds them off to fall back to the earth, again to mingle wi'h the soil, and at length to re-appear at length in new trees and fresh garniture.

Boudin protests against the prevalent notion of iitan’s being aide to adapt himself to all cli mates. and to take up his abode in all parts of the earth. The reviewer asserts that all history shows the folly, not to say the wickedness, of man's endeavors to set aside the natural laws, which lest bn climatic influences, and the differ ence of races. The following extract is given from M. Boudin : . “ From the earliest times to our own day, we see the European fail in all’his attempts at ac quiring a permanent hold on the land of Egypt, where, also, the negroes and the Mamelukes are shown to be incapable of procreation beyond the third generation In Corsica, the Italian termi nation of family-names proves, of itself, the ina bility of the Fiench to establish their stock in that island.

It is also stated that the number of the thick population in thfe West India Islands is progres sively decreasing, and this in a moss remarkable degree. The deaths are most nufnerous among males, being nearly double those of the nemales. The decrease from which the greatest mortality arises, is pulmonary consumplion! An intelligent gentleman, who has visited the West Indies, suggests that the cause is want of ade quate (particularly of animal) nutriment. No . reason has been assigned for the greater mortali ty of the males than the females. A similar i was noticed in the vital statistics of New Yqrk I city. It is computed that, at the rate of diminu tion—a tenth pait of the whole population every tour years—the negro race will have almost ceased to exist in the British West India colonies before the termination of another cerftury. The Reviewer expresses the opinion that, for health and length of days. Central, Western Africa, is the most favorable spot for the African race.

Evening Journal, I thought it might interest your readers to have the facts relating to tbe i Countess of Desmond, as I noted them down [ from Walpole several years ago. “ The Countess of Desmond lived to the age of 159 years, danced with Richard,! 11, and af firmed that he was a well-made man.” She was 87 when she married O'Conner of Sligo. The Ear] of Desmond's first wife died in 156-1; if he remarried the next day, his bride must have : been sixty-eight, and yet the had a son arid five daughters by him. Lord Bacon, says Fuller, computed her age to ! be 140 at least, and added that the three times I had a set of new teeth. , I i An extraordinary anecdote, given as authen- : tic, relating to this lady, by Robert, the second : Earl of Leicester, who received the accounifrom Lady Desmond “ That the old countess came to England to solicit a pensieut at the end of Queen Elizabeth’s reign, and was poor that she walked from Bristol to London ; her daughter being too , decrepid to goon foot, was carried in a cart.” “ The Countess,” says Lord Leicester, “ might have lived much longer had she not met with a kind of violent death, lor she would needs climb a nut tree to gather nuts, so falling down, she hurt her thigh, which brought on a fever and that fever brought death.” She was born in 1166, died in 1625. making her 159. Femme. What is Love. A brief question is this, but one which has I given rise to a thousand and one answers.— Among the best definitions we have seen is one we have in our scrap-book, plucked doubtless Irom some one of the many ephemeral produc tions of our day. “ Love,” says our author, “is the fragrant, deli cious flower which passion engrafts on the ever green. Friendship ” Not bad—indeed we might go so far as to say, i “ decidedly good ” Don’t you agree with us, girls and young married people? Boysand bach l elors we leave out of the question, for the simp'e reason that they don’t know what feeling is, es pecially when made up, in the language of one of our favorite old songs, of “ A Friendship which, like lovoj is warm, A love, like friendship, sternly.J» ,’■ 7 [Edgefild Mtverliser, A Bov’s Love for his Mother.—The first bit of silver he could call his own, says the Hon. J. T. Buckingham,in his just published “Personal Memoirs,” was a nine-pence, the proceeds ot the , sale of a bhnch of bristles to a brush-maker. He - kept it as a pocket-piece for yeais, and then parted with it to pay the postage of a letter to his mother. How much is revealed of the hu man heart in such a trifling anecdote ! The af fections overcame the vanity, or the incipient love of accumulation, which or wants could not conquer.

' And such, again,is modern progress.— Edgefield •Advertiser. Sketch of a Gentleman.—Moderation, de corum, and neatness distinguish the gentleman ; he is at all times affable, diffident, and studious toplease. Intelligent, and polite, his behavior is pleasant and graceful. When he enters the dwelling of an inferior, he endeavors to hide, if possible, the difference between their rank in I life; ever willing to assist those around him, he . is neither unkind, haughty, nor overbearing. In the mansion of the great, the correctness of his rnind induces him to bend to etiquette, but not stoop to adulation; correct principle cautionshim to avoid the gaming table, inebreity, or any other foible that could occasion self-reproach. Pleased with pleasures of reflection he rejoices to see the gaieties of society, and is fastidious upon no point of little importance. .Appear only to be a gentleman, and its shadow will bring upon you contempt; be a gentleman, audits honorswill remain even after you are dead.— Memphis Ea- Hle. Cows Holding vr their Mii.k.—A few years ago J bought a young cow, which proved to be very wild, and when I took away her first calf,she would not give her milk. 1 heard it re marked,that putting ajweight on the cow’s back would make her give her milk down. I accord ingly drove her into a stable, got a bushel of grain and put it on her back. While kept in this position, she had no power to hold up her milk, for it came down freely. Aftei doing this a few times, and afterwards putting my hand on the back of the cow, it would give way and she would immediately give down the milk.—Culti vator At GUSTA, G EOR(4IA, W.EDNI<2SDA>P??

This force gives regu lar employment to 25 to 30 wagons in the trans portation ol tbe ore to the Railroad. The ore is the black sulpburet of copper with traces of the yellow sulpburet coming in below and found in regular and well defined veins un der a heavy bed of iron, at the depth ol Irom 12 to 90 feet from the surface and ranging Irom 8 to 22 feet in width, so far as the two properties have been tested. The ore taken out by the miners is found immediately under the iron, and the quality shipped to New York' varies in rich ness from 14 to 70 percent,, the average beins from 25 to3o per cent. This you will see sur passes anything now worked, as the aveiage ’ ore taken from the Couwall mines for the last year was only 5| per cent. 30 per cent ore is worth in ma,ket SIBO per ton; cost of trans portation to New York from the miies is S,.S and S 5 lor raising, boring and preparing, woo d make $33 ; thus leaving a ueit^rpfftll'bo l EMIII j ton olore .

These mines are part of the country purchased from the Cherokee Indians under the treaty of I'ls. and were boiisht from the State of Ten nessee in 1842. a porrlirt atl2ic, and another I fmrtion at one cent per acret, mostly at the last' price, and sold lately in to 160 acres by the original grantees, at priee®! rom $6,090 to j SBO,OOO each.cash. Such prices, you will know, I could not fail to create excitement in tl e neigh- I borhood, and in Jhct jn the whole country, and real estate has gone ureall over I he country, even '.' here there isno probability of finding.mineral. j There are still a number of other places in the | same vicinity upon which copper will be fotind, i as the'surface indicatjonsßire very good indeed. No man can goto the region in which it is found without becoming excited, as the indications on the surface are such as to-prove to any one, whether he is skilled in mining or not. that the “operations so far are only the beginning, and that many other mines must be dev< lope,! soon. I'he'iact is. th it this is tobe the richest part of the State, and that copper will be found in the. same belt lor a distance of 40 or 50 miles, run ning from the Ocoee River North 23 degrees, East to the Tennessee river, and probably fur ther. Work enough has been lately done at Coco Creek, Monroe county, 25 miles northeast cl the Decktown mines, to prove that copper will be found there ; and I am of the opinion that other metals, tin, silver and probably quicksil ver will be found in the same mountain region. The Hiwassee company, some time since, in making a blast on the rivSs,blew offin one mass a piece of ore that would have weighed 3 tons. This they had to break up so as to enable them to raise it out of the tunnel. They were able from this mass to get up one piece of ore weigh ing over a ton.

It is evidently written by an officer ol the British army, and is both af fecting and interesting : . “ I had never before seen anything in the shape of a tiger, and was struck dumb with as tonishment. Not so my little Moor boy ; he was the son of a famous shikaree, and 1 believe he had never seen a tiger any more than my- 1 self. He had often heard his father talk ot hi.-, exploits among the wild beasts of the forest ; he knew me to be a Griffin, and h.s little heart II V -Ll_ S.L._ onncnmlKHPC:; nl Slinprilll' swelled with the proud consciousness ot superior | skill in woodcraft. ‘ Suppose master please, said he, drawing himselt up and assuming an air of much importance. ‘ I show sahib ho wto kill that tiger; I know very well hurrah shikar business.’ In my simplicity I looked upon the ■ daring little imp who talked thus confidently ot killing a panther, with a degree ot respect al most <■ mounting to awe, and without hesitating, hut myself under hrs guidance. According to his directions I extracted the shot from my gnu. and loaded it with some bullets which 1 -hap pened to have in my pocket. Nowthen, ex claimed my young shikaree, as he placed me be hind the shelter of a large stone, directly in front of the cave- 1 Now, then, I show sahib how to make the tiger come. Sahib make a tiger eat plenty balls; tha* proper shikar bust nrss.’ So saying, he marched directly upto the entrance of the cave and began to pelt the liger with stones, abusing him at thg same time with choice Kindest mee slang. Sure enough, this did make tiger come with a vengeance. Tny 11 - raaed brute, uttering a shrill roar, darted horn the cave, seized the by by the back ot his neck, threw him over his shoulders,and dashed down the hill like a thunderbolt. My blood curdled at the sight, but I instinctively fired and I sup pose I hit the beast, for he instantly dropped the boy, who rolled into a daik ravine at the loot of the hill The panther having disappeared in a neighboring jungle, I descended into.into the ravine to look after little Kheder. There he lay weltering in blood, dreadfully man vied and evidently in a dying state, but still quite sensible. The gallant little fellow never uttered a complaint, but fixin*, his large blfCu eves on mv countenance, as it he could there read his fate, asked in a faint tone of voice lor some water. I was stooping down to collect some in mv hat, when ! wasstarth-d >y a surly grow I, and noise of some animal sup filing among the brushwood, whjch closed over mv head and almost excluded the. light of day. It was the panther, who had returned My first impulse was to fly. and leave the boy to his late; but poor Kheder, seeing my intention, fixed bis glassy eyes intently upon me with an imploring look, which cwt me to the heart, and made me blush for very shame. Kneeling by his side, 1 raised his head, wiped the bloody froth from his parch- f i--edlins and poured a few drops of cold water I .Liwn his throat This appeared to revive him, -r—wwmmo. r,— ■" ' '.‘arilr in Hindostanee ; “ I am' sfflnry mt that; 1 shorrWl have liked to have sent his skin to my father. But you will tell him, shib,that I died like a shikaree. I was not afraid of the tiger—l never cried out when f felt his teeth crouching through my bones 1 No I I struck my knife in him twice. See ! that is tiger’s blood ?’ and his glaring eyes flashed wildly for a moment as he • held up a bloody knife, which he clutched firmly in his right hand. ‘Father will be proud to hear this ; but my mother will cry very much, and her heart will turn into water when she hears that lam dead.’ And here, for the first time, the hot tears began to trickle down his cheeks. Fora few minutes he remained mo- ■ tionless, with his eyes closed, and the big drops ' stealing slowly and silently through the long I silken eyelashes. But suddenly starting up, I with his eyes bursting from their sockets, and gasping painfully for breath, he screamed as if in a fit of delirium. ‘The tiger has seized me . again! Save me, sahib, save me !’ cried he in a hoarse voice; ‘ 1 feel his teeth in my throat ; i my breath is stopped ! Ah !’ he gasped like a r person drowning—his eyes turiied in his head ■ till nothing but the white was visible—his jaws f became firmly locked—a cold shudder ran i through his limbs, ami the gallant little Kheder ; fell back in my arms a stiffened corpse. 1 “ I vias young then, and unused to death, and B that scene has made an impres-ion on my mind t which will never.be obliterated. All this time i the panther continued to pace up and down the / edge of the ravine, nearly on a level with my head, growling fearfully, ever and anon poking 5 his snout into the bushes, and snuffing at me as i if debating with himself, whether or not he should jump down. Finally however, he left i me.” Shobmakinu. —The Eaatern pap#rsStTte that ' a machine has been invented, but not yet paten ted, which will do the entire pegging ol a shoe, with either one, two or three ions of pegs, in v Horn two to three minutes.

Post-Mastor at Savannah. Ph# appointment of Solomon < ohen, Esq., as I oat-Master, at Savannah, (says the Charleston Courier,) is, we learn, a voluntary tribute, on the part of Mr. Pierce and his Cabinet, to high integrity and distinguished worth. There were five apppeants, ill men of character and well ■ supported for the office, but it was tendered to Mr. Cohen, entirely unsought by him. The first intelligence, he had of it, was a telegraphic despatch, received by him,saying his name was before the cabinet, for the office, arid aikintftf he would accept it—and shortly after followed another despatch, announcing the apnointmqpt. In due course of mail, too, came a letter from the P. M. General, urging Mr Cis. acceptance of the appointment. (Jnder such circumstances he could no longer say n:>lu rpiscopari. Mr. Cohen is a native of Georgetown, in this State, a graduate of the S. C. College, of tbe graduating class of 1820, and has served with distinction jn the legislatures of South-Carolina and Georgia.

He is now in the 51st year of his age, pressing a handsome independ ence, and likely to live long to enjoy it. A cor respondent has very opportunely furnished us with a biographical sketch of Mr. C., which we willingly transfer to our columns. Cure for Hydrophobia.—The season ofhy i drophobia is at hand. Half a dozen specifics i for its cure has been given to the p’blic from time to time, vet we do not know of any cases of confirmed rabies having been cured. Still, it becomes men to “prove all things,” and we th?refore give what a correspondent of the Na tional Era writes from Millbury,Massachusetts, as follows.- . “ I am now in my eightieth year, and have obtained wh 6 information I could both from observation and critical study. It has lately been discovered that a strong decoction made oi the bark of tbe roots of the white ash, when drank as medicine, will cure the bite of a mad dog. This undoubtedly is owing to the fact that rattlesnakes can be made more easily to crawl over live fire coals than white ash leaves ; and they are neifer sou d in the forests where the white ash g»ws. Would it not be advisa ble for druggists U our large towns and cities to keep constantly cfo four! a medicine prepared ’■Worn tie roots of the”wbite ash.

Murder in Cincinnati. —Patrick Connell was beat to death in Cincinnati, on Tuesday night, by a gang of rowdies. He was married that night,and the gang rushed into the house and demanded money. He gave them 50 cents, and his wife handed them a similar sum to get rid of them, but because they refused to give more, they knocked him down,dragged him out ,! of the house, and beat :him in such a manner | that he soon-died;- Sq>eral arrests have been! rnade - G W-'-Wll ; -t-.g-LK 7Bcs^rvs.—The Louis-. ’ villa Courier contains AJSTre tucky over six months'old in January.

No one was hurt. An Electric Lady.—The German papers give an account of an Austrian lady who is so charged with electricity that sparks are con stantly going out at her finger ends. It is sei dom that a lady is found sending sparks awai horn her, though it is a common attribute of th sex to attrapt>parks, and even to twirl then round the finger with the utmost ease. We suspect that the account in the German paper.- is, like the electric lady herself, a little over charged. Spring’s Body not Buried.—Various ru mors have been afloat in Philadelphia for sever al days in reference tp the final disposition o the body of Arthur Sprthg, and we notice in th, Bulletin, on Saturday, the affidavits of two per sons, who state that they have opened the coffii in which it was alleged' the body had beer buried, and it was found to contain a log ol wood and some clothing, but no portion ol any human being.

I The Wine Crop of the United States.— In 1840 the total wine crop of this country was > only 124,000 gallons. In 1850 it was 221,249 s gallons, being an increase of almost a hundred s per cent in ten years. The amount imported f last year was 6,160,000 gallons—an amouni ? which our country will be able to supply for its 1 qwn consumption in sixty years, even at the s present rate of increase.

Ntn Grass?—As the gardens of many of our i readers are troubled with this obstinate intruder, we have thought it good to Jet them have the benefit of tbe following account ot the success ful method of eradicating it, which we find in the,Cheraw Gazette: “A gentleman whose garden was overrun with grass, and who had resorted to every other expedient without even partial success, made an experiment thus: He dug up and manured a spot about six feet in diameter in his yard, and set it out thickly with nut grass, which he suf fered to grow lor two years; in wjiich time, as the sayipg •«, it was as thick as hairs on a cow’s back. In the spring of the third year, as last as it appeared above the ground, he shaved it ofl with a hoe, by which he effectually _ prevented the growth ol foliage. In the spring of the fourth year, theie were but a few scattering plants which he treated in the same manner.— In the spring of the filth year, nor since, has a spear of nut grass appeared. ' 4 Frlcouragefl by bis success, he adopted the same plan with his gar den ; and the second year he was but little trou bled with nut grass.

The emigration from the port of Liverpool to Australia has experienced a slight check, but the exodus to the United States has increased, while many sail direct from Irish ports. The number of emigrant vessels from Liverpool in May was ul, conveying 24,202 emigrants. From January 1 to May 31.219 emigrant vessels left Liverpool with 91,595 persons.

Dedication of the Five Points Mission Building.—The new Mission Building, erected on the site of the “ Old Brewery,” in New York, was dedicated on Friday. The dedicatory sermon was delivered by Rev. J. Floy, D. D., and a brief address was made by Rev. J. B. Wakely. The exeijfiSes were quite interesting, and attracted a large number of visito-s. The entire expense of the erection of the new build ing will, when fully completed, somewhat ex ceed $36,000. $23,000 of this sum has been collected within the past eighteen months, leaving the Societysn debt to the amount of sft,ooo. Shooting Affair in Philaoblphia.—About two o’clock tin's morning, an unfortunate affair occurred at Loudon’s Mansion- House, at the corner of Eleventh and Market streets. It ap pears that a young man named .John M. Jeffries, a boarder in the house, was sitting alone in his room, when two persons, named C. B. Jenkins and Frederick CouldoCk, entered the apartment. There hail previously been some difficulty be tween Jeffries and Jenkins, and the former thinking the object of the intruders was to at tack him, drew a pistol and fired. The weapon was loaded with shot, which took effect upon the left side of Jenkins, inflicting a slight flesh .! wound.

The Bearded Lady of Geneva.—On S atur lay we paid a visit to Madame ClofulliA, at Bar ium’s Museum, where she begins to-dav a se ies of receptions which will be open, for a con -ideration, to the public generally. She is a Swiss lady, twenty-three years of age, and with i face covered up to the eyes with a luxurant growth of hair. Both in this country and in Europe she has been an object of peculiar inter ■st to the medical profession. She is the mother >f two children, one of whom, a boy of not a .-ear old. is said to exhibit a tendency similar to lis mother. It was our privilege, in common vith other members of the press, to test the«re ility of this beaid by the decisive experiment, viz., pulling it, and we can testify that, it is a gen uine out-growth, resembling in silkness and diundance the imaginary crop which is promised • tom the use of various hair invigorators which ire in such common request. According to the •taternent of her husband, who attends her, the hair first appeared when she was two years old, ind by her eighth year it reached the length of •wo inches. She has never used a razor except inmediately under her eyes, and no beard has ever grown upon the upper lip.— N. F. Post. Obituary.—We deeply lament to have to nake recoid at once of the death ol two worthy ind useful citizens, on Tuesday last, viz: the Hon. Simon Veidier, and Col. William B. I Oor, he former, at Walterboiough, and the hitter at Summerville, in this State. Mr. Verdier was a Frenchman by birth, but long an inhabitant of St. Bartholemews Palish, which he frequently . represented, ill both the Representative and ' Senatorial Branches of the State Legislature.— He had accumulated a large fortune, and was an active, enterpriziug and benevolent man, and a public spirited citizen. Col. 1 Oor was lorm erly Reading Clerk of our House of Representa tives, and an estimable gentleman of many vir tues and campanionable qualities.— Ch. Courier, 23d inst. A Bishop's Pay and Perquisites.—The Bishopof Durham is in embarrassed circum stances, poor man. His income having been reduced to about $40,000 per annum, (it was formerly about $120,000,1 he finds himself in a state of pitiable destitution, and has applied to the ecclesiastical commissioners for an additional $5,000 a year or so to pay his “ gamekeepers” and “ watchers on the moors,” and keep his lawns—not the lawn he wears, but the lawns around his palace—in apple-pie order. The com missioners decline to make the extra allowance, the more especially as the worthy “ Lord Spirit ual” lias already overdrawn his account some $350,000 since his salary was cut down ; or rather, has retained that amount instead ot pay. ■ng it over like an honest prelate. In the dio cese of Durham there are dozens of poor cu rates with wives and families to support who do not receive £SO sterling per annum; and yet the bishop, in his sche lule of extras, puts down the annual wages of one gamekeeper at £lOl 6d., and of another at £SB 6s. 6d. Saving his lordship's game, therefore, is considered a more valuable and important service than saving the souls of his lordship’s flock. Ihe estimation in which his lordship holds carnal luxuries as com pared with things spiritual is also’manifested in another part of his “little bill.” He puts down the expenses ol his parks at £lOOl, but mod estly charges only £ls lor these of his chapel I That blessed institution known as the “ Church of England” is based upon a system of the most monstrous inequalities. If the piety and good works of its humble clergy did not set ofl the ungodly rgnaeity of its hierarchs, it would bs in psiilof 1 the fate of Sodom and Gomonah Henry Thompson. Charles Smith, and Geo. Marsh, seamen on boaid the brig Advent, bound to Jacksonville, Fla , have been committed tn jail in Portsmouth, Va., for lack of bail in SSOO each, to appear at the next United States Cir cuit Court on n charge of disobedience and te volt. It seems that Thompson also insulted the mate, drew a knife, and fired a pistol twice ; and that when ordered to get under way, they all refused to do duty.— Ch. Courier, 22(1 inst.

For this T have unceasingly labored from the 10th of December 1850 down to the present day : and fnrthis. I shall continue to consecrate my feeble abilities, until it may be said em phatically, that the Demi cracy of Georgia, are now and forever one and inseparable.” To this end. I humbly invoke a general spirit of kindness and mutual forbearance. If our late divisions ba e prndupd a temporary na»alysis in the action of the Democratic party, there is a consideration that gnps far. to com pensate for the pain which its remembrance awakens It is the fact. that, on our restoration to health, we find ourselves strengthened, by the accession to our ranks, of many noble and patriotic Whigs, who. during our recent tem porary alienation, acted with one or the other of the divisions of our party, but now rising above the influence of former associations, have not he-itated to affiliate with ns. Feeling that our principles are the soundest and our policy tbe wisest, they have yielded to th°m tbe tribute of their sanction, and their suffrage. Thus united and reinforced let each strive to excel bis broth er in his alacrity to‘sacrifice personal preferen ces. in his efforts to heal local divinons, and in his devotion to tbe best interest ot our common country. The Democratic party of Georgia is no sec tional organization, forinied merely to obtain power, by the concealment nf principles on the one hand and on the other by presenting issues »o the country which have been settled? It is an integral part ot the national detpocracy, and its principles, inscribed upon are “ known and read by all men.’’ That, party, in the late Baltimore Convention, re-affirmed those principles. It stands solemnly pbdged to to maintain the rights of the states and the integrity of the Uni hl It uWmphantly elect ed Gen. Pierce, who, in hi* luauguial address, reiterated the pledge, and avowed his determi nation to redeem it, in the conduct of his admin istration. It is due. therefore, to our brethren throughout the confederacy, and to bur President, who looks to us for support, under his hea vy responsibilities, that we rally, with zeal and harmony, and disregard every effort to de- % coy us, by fake pretences, from our allegiance to - our common standard. Hence, for All, who de sire. in good faith, to sustain his administration and to realize the hope, “ that the constitution of our country, at. home, and her rights and honor abroad, will be maintained.” their true position is, in the ranks of the Democratic party. Looking to the locality ot Georgia, her bound les means of wealth and power, her incieasing population and her flourishing s, requires' no extraordinary prescience tooiscover, that a hL’ n destiny aw|it» ■ ‘ f L on 7_ *• '■ • - o TO U 9 £ m-. ■- J .rr 1 ' - • ano roe ignite u* d. —- tural resources, should march band in nana. L is indispensable to the other, and all to the pros perity of our State. It shall be my pleasure, as it will be my duty, in every position to which I may be called, to exert my feeble influence, in every legitimate and proper way, for the promo tion of these great interests. I repeat the expression of profound gratitude ’ to the Democracy of Georgia, for the honor con ferred upon me; and to you gentlemen, I tender my acknowledgments, for the kind terms, in which you have advised me ot the action of the ; Convention. Respectfully, your ob’t serv’t Herschel. V. .Johnson. Messrs. A. E. Cochran, E. W. Morris, L. W. Crook, Committee. Democratic State Convention —The Re publican of yesterday quotes the following para graph from the Georgia Citizen; " We have only room for a word of comment on the doings of the Convention. The reader will observe that the only Union Democrat in the list of candidates, and who, some thought would be nominated, was distanced on the first ballot, and his prospects from that moment, grew “ small and beautifully little.” til! it fizzled out entirely. Another fact is palpable. Gov ernor Cobb, who took a decided stand in favor of Johnson, was not alluded to in the most distant manner, in the way of compliment or other wise. nor was there anv resolution adopted in favor of the re union of the two wings of the Democracy,on terms of equality and fraterni ty.” That a Union Democrat, was not nominated, we believe, from the information which has reached us. was owing to the fact that a majori ty of the Union Democrats in Convention, in a spirit of magnanimity worthy of all praise, de termined to give the nomination to a Sou hern Rights man. The nomination was not sought by Judge Johnson. He would, no doubt, cheer fully have waived all claim upon it in favor of any Union man whom the Union delegates might in a body have brought forward. We are informed that Judge Jackson, of this city, would have been nominated, but for the as surances of his intimate friends. That having accepted a foreign appointment, he would be compelled to decline the nomination, if tendered to him. It is but justice to him to sav tha he had accepted this appointment in ignoiance of the strong feelings of some «f his friends in fa vor of using his name in the gubernatorial elec tion. That Gov. Cobb and a large number of Union Democrats were in favor ol Judge Johnson, can be a mystery to no one who recollects his con ciliatory course towards Union Democrats, which last fall distracted our party. — Savannah Georgian, 24th inst. Infamous.—A relative of Gen. Harrison gives notice in’a card, published in the Cincinnati Times, that all persons assembling in the grave yard enclosure at North Bend, for the purpose of revelry, will be prosecuted as trespassers, and cites as a reason a disgraceful scene which occur red on the 30th ult., which is described as fol lows : “ A party of several hundred came from Cin cinnati in three steamboats, a pioneer band hav ing preceded them the day before in an omnibus, and the pioneer band pitched their tent in the grave yard on Sunday for the sale of liquor, with out leave or license from any one. Yesterday • that grave yard was selected as the spot u|M>n which the -company danced all dav, and the voices of the Professors, in calling the figures, i could be distinctly heard at the house, a quarter of a mile oil, in the valley below. That moral i recreation of a card playing, so refining and ele vating in its influences, was indulged iu bv ma ny of the company upon the humble graves of > the pioneers of this settlement, and drunkenness i and revelry reigned supreme. The tombstones in our family inclosures Lave been defaced, and the names of those who sleep beneath them have ■ been partly erased, so as to make them read dis. > ferently, and even the names of the individuals • committing these acts written upon the stones • in pencil, an insult to the dead and a wanton outrage upon the feelings of the living. The ■ depredations committed upon the beautilul mound > where the remains of General Harrison repose t are disgraceful in the extreme. Every little I shrub and flower planted there by the hand of affection are rudely destroyed by these sacreli s gious Vandals in their bacchanalian reverlies.” Painful but Laughable.—ln “ Notes of an Army Surgeon” we find the following : i I remember one day, in making my hospital i rounds, a patient just arrived presented air arn- - putated forearm, and in doing so could hard y I restrain a broad laugh ; the titter was constantly a on his face. , . . ~ e “ What is the matter? This does not strike d me as a subject of laughter.’ fl' “It is not, Doctor: but excuse me ; I lost my d arm in so tunny away that 1 still laugh when 1 h look at it.” “What way?” >. “ Our first sergeant wanted shaving, and got d me to attend to it. as lam o cornoral.
