And why, searching into deep deptns, why does man become so often a tyrant so of ten a criminal, home 1 Truth has to be told out. oh ! listen to it kindly, for it is hard to tell It is hen,me woman does not truly appreciate her mission m domestic life. Under the present conditions of exist cnee, site has become weighed down Ly cares Asa wile she is different to what she was ns a mistress She is ever employed in drudgery f ur children nnd household. She neglects her dress; she forgets her manners. Her husband sees the change, does nut per haps find sufficient excuse for it front the conditions she labors under. He Hies to the tavern and billiard table . and she increases in sourness and asperity ns she increas crj ;n years. That much of this isowing to the present circumstances of social life is true ; but that much of it is chargeable to a sad submission to those circumstan ce*, is also but too true. It is more or less in the pow er ot women to make their domestic life more attractive to th<-ir husbands, nnd more holy in its discipline and ends than they now do. A great regularity in time—- a great simplicity in dress—a more determined adher ence to that which is right in one’s own eyes, rather than that which is well thought of in the eyes of others —•an orderly apportioning of various periods for differ ent occupations—would make evenings ot home pass away very differently to what, in the great majority of cases, they are now doing —ZV. Chalmers. IHguity of Labour. An observing and talented writer lias said : “Mechanics are the palace builders ol the the world; not a stick is hewn,not a stone shaped, in nil the lordly dwellings of the rich, that does not ow • its beauty and j fitness to the mechanics skill ; the towering spires that raise their giddy heights among the clouds, depend up on the mechanic’s art lor their strength and symmetry. Not an edifice for devotion, lor business, or comfort, bat bears the impress of their handiwork. How exhalted I is their calling—how sublime is their vocation! Who dares to sneer at such a fraternity of honorable men— who dares to cast odium upon such a patriotic race ? Their path is one ot true glory, and it is their own fault it it does not lead them to the highest post of honor and renown.” Home Labor—Home Manufacturing. Labor is the great wealth of the world, and this we relinquish to the North or Europe.—We ship the pro duce of a cotton plantation on board ofa vessel, for Bos ton or Liverpool,and it conies back to us, with its value increased ten fold; or in other words we send these Eu ropean or Northern manufacturers one thousand bales of Cotton, for which they return us one hundred in anian ulactured state, and retain the other nine hundred for their labor and profit! This is losing labor, and of course losing wealth. It is gratifying to see that the public mind at the South is daily awaking to the necessity ofa diversity of labor, and the establishment of mechanical and manufacturing pursuits, or in other words, to supplying her own wants. The universal success of these establishments at the South, has falsified all the prognostications and object ions of those who have advocated the blind policy of on extensive agricultural production, and has given new confidence to the friends of manufactures ot the South The march of these establishments among us is destined to be onward, until we shall be able to supply our own , wants and become independent for our supplies, nor can the prosperity of the South be placed on a firm basis until tins is accomplished.— N. O. Bulletin. Fighting Parson• We have seen it stated that one of the companies from Mississippi, at the battle of Buena Vista, was commanded by a Methodi.it Minister. Just before the battle commenced, and whilst the troops were tonning, it is said he delivered the following pithy prayer, at the head of his company: ‘• Be with us this day of conflict, oh Lord ! We are are lew, and the enemy are many. Be with us as thou wast with Joshua when he went down from Gilgal to j Bcth-ho-ron and Ajalon, to smite the Amorites. We j do not ask thee tor the sun and moon to stand still, but ; grant us plenty of powder, plenty of daylight, and no (X> wards. Take old Rough-and-Ready uuder thy spec, ial charge. Amen! M-a-r-c-h.” His company performed prodigies on the field that day.— Ex. Paper . Gen. Taylor Toming Home. The Galveston Civilian, oi 16lh, says: Mr. Chisholm has arrived at Austin, in 12 days from Monterey, and reports that Gen. Taylor has left the latte/city, on a visit to his family. Mr. C. says that, on the receipt of the intelligence of the victories of Con treras and Churubusco, Gen. Taylor said, “the fighting was at an end”—that “he would return to his family, as he believed there would be no farther need of his ser vices in Mexico.” As Gen. Taylor has probably by this time found out Ins mistake, he will doubtless fix his headquarters at Maiamoros as he originally contemplated. Northern Ifice. Gen. Verplanck, the Commissioner to negotiate a treaty with the Chippewas, in speaking of the wild Rice w hich grows abundantly in Minnesota, says it is better than the Southern Rice. The berries are larger and its flavor is belter ; for when boiled and allowed to cool it forms a consistent moss like good wheat bread, a nd more nutritious. Any quantity grows on all the Lak* in this Northern country. The outlets and bays are filled w.th it. It ripens in the month of August, j and is the main reliance ot the Indians during the win- j ter months for their sustenance. —Charleston Mercuiy. Steam Cotton Presses. In two or three weeks from this time, or as soon as some presses now under way are done, there will lie no less than thirteen Cotton Presses moved by steam in the city of Savannah, all of them immediately on the w ater-side, perfectly convenient to vessels loading, and steamboats descending the river from Augusta. There are four Hydraulic presses at the yard of the Company on the Eastern wharves, four in the yard of the Georgia Steamboat Company, three Bulloch's presses owned by Miutum and Cos., one of them tor pressing round cotton, and two Tyler presses owned by Wight and Baldwin.

The Worm in Peach Trees* A writer in one of our agricultural exchanges says:— ‘ Tnnzy is a certain antidote against the worm or grub. Th* writer of this has seen several generations of peach trees die off from the effects of the worms, while one tree in the orchard had survived them all, and he was led to inquire why this should live, while so many around it died. The tree in question was found to be surrounded by tanzy, which is known ns a great vermi fuge. This led him to try the experiment with regard to others in the neighborhood, many of which were ev idently in a declining state, nnd to his surprise, in a very few weeks they all evinced a healthy and lively appearance, nnd since then, not a single tree in the whole lot has been attacked in the slightest degree.” Large Product of C’orn to the Acre. The Athens Binner says; “Mr John F. Phinisy of Clarke county gathered from u measured acre of ground on his plantation upon Cedar creek, four miles from Athens one hundred and three and a half (1034) bushels of Indian Com!!! It was bottom land and a few un productive wet spots in it—but for which it was thought the crop would have reached 110 bushels. Beat this in Georgia who can !” We would be gratified to hear from some of our corn growing readers upon this point esjiecially as the present has been emphatically a great com season. Premium Cheese. For a cheese of twenty pounds, a piece of rennet about two inches square is soaked about twelve hours in one pint of water. As rennets differ much in quali ty, enough should be used to coagulate the milk suffi ciently in about forty minutes. No salt is put into the cheese, nor any outside during the first six or eight hours it is being prepared ; but a thin coat of fine Liver pool salt is kept on the outside during the remainder of the time it remains in press. The elieeses are pressed forty-eight hours under a weight of seven or eight cwt. Nothing more is required but to turn the cheeses once a day on the shelves. For Making Yeast. This is an indispensible commodity,and families oft en find no small d.iliculty in supplying themselves with even a tolerable article. We therefore republish the following recipe for its manufacture, hoping that by so doing, we may ofilige our readers. “To two middling sized potatoes, add a pint of boiling water, and two ta ble spoonfuls of brown sugar. One pint of hot water should he applied to every half pint of the compound. Hot water better in warm weather. The yeast be ing indue without flour, will keep longer in hot weather, and is said to be much better than any in previous use.” Try it. —Maine Farmer. The faults of Childreu. It may be well to drop a hint against the folly and impropriety of making the faults of your children the subject of conversation with other people. Nothing can be more unkind and injudicious. If you wish your chil dren to reform and improve, you most throw a shield around their character. However foolishly they have acted , let them see that you are anxious to keep open the way for their return to propriety and respectability. Many a youth has been hardened and driven to despair by being tauntingly upbraided before strangers with misconduct, which never needed, and therefore never ought to have been known beyond his own family. On the other hand, many a wanderer h::s been encouraged to return, by observing in those most in,ured by his li lies, a general readiness cordially to reinstate hun in their esteem, and to sliield hnn from the reproaches of others. | COMMERCIAL.

It will be remembered that I carried to M:\con in the month of August Inst, what was said, and, in the public papers, announced to be, the first bag of new cotton car ried to that market this season. Since tlien.it has, ns I have been credibly informed, !r**n circulated through out the country and elsewhere, that the bag of cotton lias been returned to me, because of its having been as certained to be old instead of new cotton ; and l under stand that one of our citizens, who sets up high claims to respectability—lias said that he saw the hag of cot ton on its way back to me. The utter falsity and nia ugnity of thos slanderers, will be manifested hy the fol lowing-certificates of my oveiseer, Mr. Kdlebrew—my neighbor Mr. Bass and Mr. Dawson.of Mucou, to whom I sold the hag of cotton. GEORGIA. )T do certify tint tarn now, nndhnvc Houston County j been daring the past year, in the em ployment of Mr. Isaac C.

Oct 5,1847. W KILL!'BREW. GEORGIA, )I do hereby certify that lam a near Houston ( ounty \ neighbor of Mr. Isaac ('.

Oct 5, 1847. EDMUNDS BASS. C'JV of Macon. Ido hereby certify that 1 purchased ol Mr. Naim C.

The cotton was both new nnd good. 1 sent it to Savannah soon after I purchased it, ana sold it It never has been sent back to him—so fiir from it, ; no lault has ever been found with the cotton by those to j whom 1 sold it. on any account, that hns ever re tched my ears—nnd the rej>ort that it has been returned to me or Mr. West, is without the slightest foundation. 0ct5,1817. SAMUEL DAWSON. Thus it is shown that the cotton—every pound ol it | was new, and that it baa never been returned to Sir. Dawson, to whom I sold it, much less to me. If I had known there was n man living, who had malice enough against me and so little regard for truth, ns to have cir culated such a falsehood, I would have made no effort to carry to market the first bale of new cotton. For, however much I am attached, by inclination nnd cus tom to habits of industry, I prize still higher, a good j name among my fellow citizens for honesty, integrity and honor. 1 have been induced to lay before the public the evi dence of my entire innocence of the< urges made a gainst me, which were intended to, anti I true —should place me in a position in which my accusers are now placed — cneath the notice or contempt of any honest man. —Oct 6, 1847.

We recommend that the Ferry b • rente lor the next y- ar to the .highest bidder for * .tnfy rders, provided mat the citizens ol the County no pc * untied to cioss without charge except in high water. We recommend that the money oi hand after settle ment with the tax collector, be sold by the Interior l ourt at public auction to the highest bidder, for county orders without reference to date. As citizens of the South West we feel a deep interest ill the success of the South Western Rail Road. Our section ol the State has long suffered by its distance from a market lor its staple productions. Wh :, v every ot #r portion of the State, have ban their resources de veloped, hy railroads, and have now every facility lor carrying off the products of thtir labor, w-e have had no means ot transportation but the slow and exjiensive wagon ; while it is estimated by those acquainted with the subject, that the driver of the cotton wagon, would make more at home during the picking season that would transjHjrt by rail road the whole c- p to market* Under such disadvantages ,how can we compete in the production of cotton with the great and suii growing west, with her numerous, navigable rivers ? Ihe truth is the true resources of South Western Georgia have never been nropnly developed ; our countey us still a great forest oi nch and highly produc tive laud, and w-e need, greatiy need a rail road to de- i velopc its energies—to make the white cotton field take j ib place of the unbroken wood, and to people with a u eming population, those va-t forests that are now si-1 lent ai.u unproductive. No one who has broke.i at the history ot tire Southwest and remarked us rapid pro gress lor the last 15 years in wealth&ad popular.on,can •ail to see that it is destined one day to t** the greatest cotton producing portion of the State. During the last five yeu.n the me,ease of i. 1 population and production has been nearly 50per cem, and this too under all the disadvantages of a distance from market, a trad road and great commercial embarrassments. What may wy not hop. when we have a Rail road penetrating the very heaa of of our country, connecting u* on the one hand with the Atlantic and on the oilier with the Gulf ot Mexico. Our lands must largely increase in value : our cotton will bnngus on the average better prices, and oui supplies will cost us less ; we and our whole section, will become far more eligible, both as a pla . residence i and as a field for the accumulation ot wealth The stockholders of the company will almost of a ! certainty find it a profitable investment. In three years at least luo.UJO bags of cotton will ituas over it to a market anually, and as the country increase m its pro ductions by the facilities the rail road alibids the amount ol our great staple that will seek a market by its means will neeessarally increase with die most rapid strides. And when the road is completed and the Gulf’ and the Atlantic joined together by its means, the passen gers alone, who must then pass over it will of themselves pay to the company, a handsome profit upon their in vestment In conclusion we would recomin nd, most heartily this great enterprise to our fellow citizens, a* one of in ti me importance to the prosperity or our section ol the j state, and as one m every way likely to result in profit i to those who engage in its prosecution. In taking leave ofHis Honor Judge Warren, and the ! Solicitor General, Mr. Patterson, we WOtW exp ess, our high admiration of the judicial career of tliefoimei, and oui hearty thanks to the latter lor his kind am niton to ! this body, and for his vigilance in the execution ol Ins duty.
