Tfce Bible.
This holy book. Is ell divine,
To man iu mercy given ;
Its truths all radiant and benign,
With beams of living lustre shine,
And gild the path to Heeven.
Upon this life’s uneven wey,
As we are swiftly driren,
It sheds a bright, celestial ray,
It points to ait eternal day,
And bids us'strivefor Heaven.
If crieEs dark shadow o’er us fall,
Like sable robe of c-ven,
Ifg! oomy doubts the heart appal,
llow sweet the cheering accents fall,
Look up,’tis bright in Heaven.
It soothes the anguish of the heart,
Bv sin arid sorrow riven ;
Its rat s divine sweet peace impart,
Allay the poisoned inward smart,
And w hisper, Pure is Heaven.
When earthly friends and comforts die,
How blest the promise given !
It, shows a home beyond the sky,
And bids us Abba Father or)
To Him who is in Heaven.
To a!l who in its truths confide,
A hope divine is given,
That they through grace shall firm abide,
And every threatening storm outride,
And rest, at last, in Heaven.
What though the surging billows roar,
What though by tempests driveu,
The raging storm will soon be o’er,
And they shall reach that peaceful shore
Where shines the light of Heaven.
And w hen the earth is veiled in gloom,
When mouldering gr aves are liven,
Then rising from the opening tomb,
Arrayed in life’s immortal bloom,
With songs ascend to Heaven.

Tire suit* luitriicti and for Douglas.
Our neighbors ot’ the elephantine Appeal have
got their sweet lips on the little end ot the big
Douglas Trumpet, and the way they are blowing
it is u caution to gas-blowers. With eyes disten
ded and jutvs inflated to the dimensions of a little
boy’s uir balooit, they ure blowing with an energy
that would do credit to the lungs of u full grown
porpoise. We are sure that Gabriel, on that aw
ful day which our neighbors have so much cause
to fear, will not produce a louder blast than that
which now emulates from the Douglas trumpet
ers. We give below a few toots from the Appeal X
horn :
Michigan for Douglas.— Appeal.
And in the last Presidential election, in Michi
gan the vote stood lor Buchanan 32,139, Fre
mont 71,792 —majority for the Abolitionists iYte
tf.en thousand six hundred and. tieentp-three. —
Michigan may be For Douglas’ nomination, but
she couldn’t contribute much towards his election.
Wisconsin for Douglas.— Appeal.
Wisconsin is hopelessly aud irretrievable wed
ded lo BUck-Republtcanifni. At the last Presi
dential eLctiou the vote stood for Fremont 6tt,<>92
Buchanan 42,8 G7 —Abolition majority vine thous
and tiro hundred and turnty-fae. If the Democra
cy of Wisconsin can’t aid iu electing a Democratic
President, they ought not to be so anxious to
foist an objectionable candidate upon those States
that can elect.
lowa for Douglas.— Appeal.
In the last Presidential election lowa gave up
wards of six thousand majority lor Fremont, the
illegitimate offspring of a licentious Frenchman.—
lowa may be clamorous for the nomination of
Douglas, but site couldn’t come within ten thous
and votes of giving him her electoral vole.
Ohio for Douglas.— Appeal.
The majority lor Fremont over Buchanan in the
last Presidential election, was sixteen thousand
six hundred and twenty-three. In the Guberna
totial contest last lull, notwithstanding Douglas
canvassed the State, thus identifying himself as
much as it it had been his own election, the Abo
litionists carried the State by an increased vote.
The prestige ot Douglas’ name failed to accomplish
anything lor Democracy last October, and it will
be powerb’Bß towards redeeming Ohio in tiie Pres
idential election.
Illinois for Donglsv.— Appeal.
Illinoß is not for Douglas. He has strong an
tagonisms in liis own State, which can never be
reconciled. In the Senatorial contest between
Douglas and Lincoln, according to the popular
vote, Lincoln carried the State, notwithstanding
Dougl.i* had the sympathy ol many Hlack Repub
licans. I'he great increase of population in Illin
ois is in the not them portion, and since Douglas
had the popular vote against him after be had
canvassed the State, and in view of the further
fact that a Biuek Republican has been elected
Governor, it is lolly to talk of Illinois voting for
Douglas or any Democrat lor the future.
Minnessota for Douglas.— Appeal.
But little is known of the political sentiments
of this young State, but enough is known to
show that Minnessota has also joined the Black
Republican phalanx, and as a matter of course
she is clamorous for the nomination of Dougl.is,
without the least prospect of contributing to bis
election.
Indiana for Douglas.— Appeal.
By a system of scheming and intrigue the Indi
ana Democratic State Convention was made to
express a preference lor Douglas, but Gen. Jo.
Lane is stronger in Indiana by twenty thousand
vote 9 than Douglas. There is no State in the
Union that has more antipathy to Douglas than
Indiana. In every section he has powerful and
embittered foes who hate him.
This analysis of the strength which the Appeal
claims for Donglas, show3 that he is “the strong
est man in his party w here the party is w eak, and
and the weakest where the party is strongest.”
Shall the delegates from the bopelesdy Black Re
publican States control the Charleston Conven
iiou ? The nomination of Douglas would give us
no additional sti'ength in the North, w hile it
would hazard all the Southern States. There
would be some excuse for the attempt to sell prin
ciples for availability if there was any certainty
that the trade would pay—for there will not be a
solitary vote given for Douglas on the first ballot
at Charleston that will be from a State which can
be said to a certainty that it will cast its votes for
him it lie should be the nominee. The hungry
dog with the meat in his mouth snapped at his
shadow in the water, expecting to procure a
double repast, but the result was, he lost all, and
had to swim ashore deprived of his promised
feast. The Democracy should profit by this fable.
With an unobjectionable candidate and a sound
platform, they can carry every Southern State,
but in their greediness to procure Northern sup
port, they are likely to lose the entire South. To
prevent this, Douglas will be thrown overboard,
for he is a clog to his party where it has any
show of strength, while his strength where the
party is weak is insufficient to win the Northern
States to bis standard.
The Courting or a Sharp Min of Business.—
Pitts is a fast man, a sharp man, a man of business
tact, and when Pitts goes into a store to trade, lie
always gets the lowest cash price ; and he says :
“ Well, I*ll look about, and if I don’t find anything
that suits me better, I’ll call und take this.” Pitta,
like all men, is partial to women, and young ones
in particular. Now, quite lately Pitta said to him
self : “I am getting rather ’long in years and
guess I’ll get married.” Uis businesa qualities
wouldn’t let him wait, so oft’ he travels, and call
ing on a lady, opened the conversation by remark
ing that he would like to know what she thought
about his getting married. “Oh, Mr. Pitts, that is
an affair in which I am not so greatly interested,
Hid I prefer to leave it w ith yourself.” “But,” says
Pius, “you are interested, and, my dear girl, will
you marry me ?” The young lady blushed very
red, hesitated, and finally, as Pitta was very well
to do in the world, and morally, financially and
politically of good standing in aocicty, she accepted
‘him. Whereupon the matter of facts Pitts res
ponded : “Well, well, I’ll look about and if I
don’t find anybody that suits me better than you,
I’ll come back.”

JExlravagauce In lemula Dreta.
It is far front our intention to set ourselves up
as arbiters ot fashion, or to enter into minute crit
icisms on the attire ot the other sex. Ou the con
trary, we have been disposed to some latitude in
our views as to the sovereignty of taste iu the re
gulation of matters of dress. The taste may be
so pure as to c laim admiration, or it may be so
outre as to awaken pity or ridicule; but good or
bad, we have not regarded it within our province
to adjudicate and determine. Neither piety nor
irreiigion are to be inferred from the colour or
shape of a garment. Ptide may be found associa
ted with the extreuiest plainness, and it is to be
presumed that the graces of the Spirit may be cul
tivated under* mote fashionable exterior. There
is, however, one aspect of this subject which, from
its moral bearings cannot be suffered to pass with
out comment, if is an abuse so prevalent and so
rapidly diffusing itself as to deatand reprehension.
\\ e refer to extravagant expenditure oa dress,
which betrays the sell-idolatry of the heart and the
promptings of inexcusable vanity, as well as
thoughtlessness of higher obligations. This is the
sin ot our country, it not of the age, and more
particularly is it the sin of our large cities. When
commerce was les? extended aud wealth more lim
ited, a moderation in this respect more conforma
ble to republican simplicity w.is noticeable. This,
perhaps, was rather a necessity than virtue.—
The disposition to ostentation may have existed
without the means of indulgence. National pros
perity creating the facilities for intercommunion
with ‘he old nations of Europe, and not only famil
iarizing the mind with their fashions and customs,
but awakening the desire for imitation, has of late
years been gradually effecting an assimilation, un
til we arc in a fair way ol rivalling their luxurious
habits and ostentatious displays. This is of omin
ous import in a nation so young as ours, aud is a
most unhealthy symptom. Where orders of r.o
biltty and aristocracy are sustained by hereditary j
wealth, extravagance may operate with less sensi- (
blejclfectpn undermining families, whilejwith our rc- |
publican institution, which do not recognize the en
tail of enormous wealth, and hence the rich lami- ,
lies of one generation may become the poor ones
of the next, there can be no plausible justification
of those costly expenditures to which we ure refer
ring. We select only the one case of female ex
travagance in dre.-s, as having very important bear
ings on our future welfare. As to the tact itself,
it is not to be disputed that there is an increasing
passion for dress, which among the rich is calcu
lated to impoverish, and among their pooler imita
tors to briug to pa*s even worse, consequences ;
tor so diffused is it that it intecta the poorest as
well as the richest, and while the latter expend
their aimualphousands on costly urticles, the former
squander their weekly wages in a poor attempt at
competition.
The evils resulting are not of a trivial nature.
Ist. Pride and vanity are fostered by the cus
tom. Dress become* a business, a subject of dai
ly occupation, an absorbing interest. The object
of each is to outshine all others in the mere deco
ration of tne person. The lowest aim of a ration
al being is made superior lo the highest, and the
indulgence of a trhial vanity supersedes the culti
vation of the moral and mental faculties. So true
is this, that where this passion prevails, a frivolous
character is sure to be the result. An inordinate
attention devoted to the exterior, must be at the
expense of the interior, as in tile case ol the Pha
risees of old, and it is an impossibility that a tnind
can properly fultill its high spiiituai destinies wliich
is pre-occupied wiih the tinsel of Vanity is at once
the most unreasonable of sins in a fulleu creature,
and obstructive to humble commuuion with God.
To how many other sins does its indulgence lead?
The lusbionable well know when God is excluded
from their thoughts; when their sense of moral
obligation is weakened in regard to those with
whom they contract debts; ami when they sacri
fice health and religion in their insane course.—
la females of a lower order, we but too well know
that personal virtue is abandoned that the love of
dress may obtain the means of indulgence.
2. It often leads, as we have before hinted, to
the prostration of families. Hopeless bankruptcies
are often traceable to it; and incomes ample, with
wiser moderation iu expenditures, have been so
utterly insufficient as to lead to the most disastrous
crisis. Many families which have fluttered iu the
fashionable world for their brief day, have, I'ioin
this cause, fallen out of the ranks into poverty
and obscurity, which would be greatly relieved for
a year by what was thoughtlessly expended lor the
display ot a single bail. We hear of persons liv
ing up to their income, and far exceed it; and
w hat, iu such cases, must be the fate of the chil
dren when the head of the household is impover
ished or dead '/ Scarcely can we conceive of a sadder
alliance than habits ot extravagance and poverty
and that poverty induced by these habits. Every
large city has numerous example of tiie kind.
3. Tiie extravagance of many oi the young fe
rn ale.; of our d.iy does most assuredly cast a cloud
upon their prospects for lulure settlement iu fami
lies of their own. Instinct, reason, and religion
alike regard marriage as a desirubie event. There
was a time when p< udeuce could suggest marriage,
although there was no wealth; moderated desires
and economical habits were a sufficient substitute
for tl.r, and such marriages were often happy.—
What encouragement is there now to make the ad
venture ? Should a young mau be industrious,
and, to a certain extent, prosperous iu his busi
ness, would he have the hardihood to wed one
who has loug accustomed hersell to spend on her
person mote than he could earn ? Would not such
a marriage be inevitably fatal to his prospects l l
is uiuiunbtcd that some marry under such cir
cumstances, to run a troubled career for a very
short period ; and it is equally true that many more
are deterred iroiu this cause trout mairaige alto
gether; and thus one of the great laws ol God is
violated, and one of ttte best provisions tor human
happiness is deteuted.
One w ord is demauded for the consideration of
Christian ladies. Some oven oi these are involved
iu the vortex of fashion, and encourage by their
example this most pernicious custom. Their dress
costs incomparably more than meir charities, and
personal decorations make them poor lor God and
Two Views of tbo Case.
Judge C——— U. S. Senator from Vermont,
related to us a good anecdote, the other day, il
lustrative of Abolitionism. 1 lie morning he was
leaving home to enter upon his duties iu this city,
a sliaigni-tuced deacon who looked upon the
whole South as a great pandemonium, called on
him utid said:
“Now, Judge, I waut you to do all in your
power to abolish slavery.”
“ W ell,” said the Judge, “ how shall I pro
ceed ? ”
“ Oil, I don’t know ; but you must abolish it.
It's a damnable curse, and must be abolished.
You know more about law than I do. The
church is my stronghold, but you understand na
tional matters, and cau devise some plan, and 1
know it. ”
“ The only way I see to abolish it, ” said the
Judge, “is to buy all the slaves and sot them
tree. ”
“ Well, go in for that; have a law passed that
the North .-hall buy them, aud this trouble will
end. Yes, you go in strong for that, Judge. ”
“ Just as you say, deacon. I will agree to it in
a moment, and will stand my share of the ex
pense. Here is Woodstock with three hundred
inhabitants, and this town would be called on for
about six hundred thousaud dollars—and 1 will
urge it before the Senate. ”
The good deacon opened his mouth, then Ids
eyes, allowed his tongue to escape from one cor
ner ol his face, scratched his bead, and tapped
impatiently on trie tioor with his loot. As the
Judge was leaving the room, the deacou’s power
of speech caiue to him, and lie called out.
“ Oh, say, Judge, I guess you’d belter let sla
very alone. The poor black devils are better off
in the booth, than up here in this cold climate ! ”

Furli la
At * puoib meeting recently held at Port Gib
son, Mississipp., for the purpose of organizing a
National Union Party, with the Constitutionals its
chart and compass, and appointing delegates to
the State Convention to be held at Jackson in
May next, the following patriotic resolutions were
unanimously adopted :
Re solved, That this meeting heartily concur In
the proposition at once to organize the conserva
tive political element of Mississippi, with a view of
acting in concert with the great conservative po
litical element of the United States, whose object
will be to strengthen the bonds of union among
the States restore fraternal harmony, and to se
cure to all portions of our common country such
privileges and immunities as are due by the terms
of the Constitution, and a rigid enforcement of all
laws made in pursuance thereof.
Resolved, That it is our eaudid belief, after re
flection carefully hud upon this subject, that the
time has arrived, when the friends of law and or
der, the fiicuds of the Union and the Constitu
tion, should carefully scan the tendencies of meas
ures advocated by the parties as now divided, and
9liape their course of action by the dictates of
reason aud law, and not be governed by the tram
mel* o! party names, nr carried astray by the
wild speculations of political jugglers, who are
seeking personal aggrandizement, though it be at
the sacrifice of the Union.
Resolved. That we are opposed to the extrem
ists ot the South and the Republicans of the North,
and are in favor of preserving the American
L nion, promoffng n spirit of harmony and frater
nity between the various sections of the Republic,
restoring tranquility and stability to our public in
stitutions, reforming the many abuses of Govern
ment, and adopting some plan whereby the ex
penditures of the Government may be retrenched ;
desire that the discussion of the slave trade be
banished from the churches, the hustings, and the
Capitol, and the quiet silencing through the ballot
box of all those who pertinaciously continue in ad
vocacy of their reckless and mischievous policies,
by which the Union is endangered, public tran
quility threatened, and sectionalism enunciated.
Resolved, 1 hat we hail with delight, and rejoice
in it as a harbinger of better prospects for the fu
ture, the efforts of the Union men of other sec
tions of our Confederacy to briug together and or
ganize the conservatism of the whole country, and
their desire to present to the people a Presidential
ticket composed of true men and patriots, devoted
to the general interests of our common countrv,
and opposed to those whose policy is calculated, if
not intended, to destroy the Union of these States,
aud we hereby pledge our candid co-operation and
support, and tender to those who are disposed to
assist in this great work, of every part of our
country, our ardent sympathy, and earnestly pray
that their efforts may be crowned with success.
Resolved, That, in our our opinion, nothing can
be hoped for from parties as organized at present
that is calculated to insure public tranquility,
maintain equal and exact justice, or favor a con
tinuance of the Uuion, both being sectional in pol
itics, therefore objectionable to Union-loving
men North and South, and dangerous to the coun
try.
Resolved, That we cannot perceive anv benefits
that are to flow to the South from a disruption of
the Union of these States, but, on the contrary,
feel well assured that the consequences fatal to
any interest, and results disastrous in every point
of view, would inevitably follow ; and that, how
ever, we might deplore the necessity that would
compel us to such a course of action, and however
much vre believe that the remedy (disunion) would
work to the killing of the patient without remov
ing the disease, we re-assert our determination to
stand upon the platform taken by Mississippi in
her sovereign capacity in 1851, and, if need be,
resist aggressions therein enumerated tn the Union,
and not outside of it. Believing, however, that
there is now no existing cause for extreme meas
ures, we are opposed to ail disunion conventions ;
we are opposed to a continuance of the present
fierce and hostile agitation of the slavery question,
and appeal to all lovers ol law and order, peace
and quiet, the Union and the Constitution, and to
those who are desirous to engage iu the great hdJ
glorious work of throwing oil upon the troubled
w'aters of our political sea, of all the States of this
Confederacy, to join hands with us in our holy
mission of attempting to perpetuate, intact and
unpolluted, to the future, that Constitution, and
blessings of government under it, which Washing
ton and his noble compeers fought and suffered
for.
Mr. Curry, of Alabama.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune, wri
ting from Washington on the 14th March, spoke
thus of Hon. Jabez L. M. Curry, who represents
the Eighth Congressional District of Alabama :
To-day, in the House of Representatives, Mr.
Curry ot Alabama confirmed the reputation he has
been steadily gaining since he took his seat in
Congress, as one of the ablest men on the South
ern side oi the chamber. Mr. Curry is a gentle
man in tone and mien, and in this respect he dif
fers from a share of his political associates ;
and, iu addressing his opponents, he employs such
language as is curreut among men of breeding—
setting, in this particular, an example which many
of his fire eating brethren below the Potomac, and
pretty much all of his dirt-eating followers North
of it, might profitably imitate.
********
Os the doctrines of his performance to-day it is
sufficient to say, that it was an able exposition of
the extreme views of the Slavery Propagandists of
the Calhoun school, and especially iu regard to
the inviolability of property in negroes the right
of the slaveholder to carry them into the Territo
ries, the denial of the power of Congress to inhibit
the existence of Slavery anywhere in the national
domain, and the duty of the Federal Government
to protect the slaveholder in the enjoyment of this
right.
Mr. Curry was severe upon Mr. Douglas. He
avowed and proved the utter impossibility of any
man holding the doctrines of Popular Sovereignty
being acceptable to the South, aud scornfully
scouted the idea of any teacher of that heresy re
ceiving the nomination at Charleston.
Mr. Douglas was present in the House during
the delivery of this speech. But, as the hissing
hot shot of the Alabamian began to whiz around
his ears, he escaped into the adjoining cloak-room,
where, doubtless, he meditated over the doom
whioh awaits him at Charleston, after the manner
of Mr. Curry to day. Pert Mr. Logan of Illinois,
one of Douglas’most unscrupulous lieutenants in
the House, looked as if he would sink through its
floor while Curry’s well-aimed broadsides was rid
dling his fleeing chief.

Whai ka Savaciiiali l)ou* )
The magnificent enterprises which the c itv if
Savannah iu it* corporate.capacity, and b. r ci i
zens us individuals, have undertaken and prosecu
ted tea aoceesstul completion, is without a par. i
iel in tbe hist-jcy of auv Siouihern uity; and remark
able as this faet mav appear, there are few of our
people who think about it, aud fewer atiil, if am
who boast of it. li there are any of our readers
disposed to think us enthusiastic, we beg them t<
mention the name of a city and a community
which have done more. We propose to consider
some of the improvements which have been com
pleted by our energv. Some of the works we
mention were not entirely perfected by the uiouev
of Savannah, but ail of them have been largely
aided, and many of tbeia had aid from no other
source.
The first great enterprize undertaken was the
Central Railroad. With many doubts and misgiv
iuga as to its success, the work was slowly, and
many times with great difficulty, kept ia progress,
until i f s completion demonstrated the prob
lem which then agitated the public mind. This
gigantic road was a success, sad upon its merits
hare arisen the other lines which now tend to
wards our city. The capital of this road now
stands at *3,700,000. It has cost $3,000,000, and
is worth every dollar of it to-day. This Company
ami the city of Savannah in irs corporate capacity,
and her individual citizens hare been pow erful and
effective allies. By thviraid w*B built the Augusta
A Savannah Railroad, costing $1,000,000 ■ the
South Western, and it* extensions to Fort Gaines
and EufauLt which w ill aggregate s4,ouu, mu ;
the Muscoged at *1,000,000 ; the Opelika branch',
$250,000 ; Gordon to Eatonton s4‘>o,ono ; E.ugii
ton to Madison, estimated $200,000 ; CiiarleSto..
and Savannah, sav $i,600,G00. In all these lin* s
the three parties above meutioncd have not om\
largely assisted, but most oi them would nevVt
have been completed but for tbe aid thev alio - -
ded.
Os tbe road* which received no aid from tin
Central, we have the S. A. &G. R. R. b f eir . -
1> by Savannah and her citizens, ataco-r. o c ,5 • -
Of**). The Main Trunk wiii receive Inn u
source $5i)0,000. Is not this a record wtm n a
community might contemplate with pride, au-J u. •
it not fully sustain our assertion tnai Savannah c.i
terprizes are without a parallel in the history oi
any American city of equal size, north or south *
So much for our achievements by land. On t!;e
sea, we have quite as many monuments to o r
energy and spirit of improvement. In lyiy we
had constructed the first steamship that ploughed
the ocean, the Savannah, an experiment so muc •
in advance of the age as to receive tbe ridicule of
nearly every one, yet by a successful trip from this
port, to Liverpool, and thence to severu! other Eu
ropean ports, she con\ineed the mo-i iucr. dnlous
of the practicability of tru versing the sea t>\ si cam.
What have we now ? Lines ol steamers on ihe
Savannah and Ocmulgee rivers ; splendid steam
boats to Charleston, aud Florida ; two lines ol
steamships to Baltimore; one to Philadelphia;
one commencing to Boston ; and two lines to
New York, embracing six as elegant steams! ip- as
come out of any port, besides several auxin ries
Calculated for transportation ol freight alone.—
What city in the south can boast such a s:eam ma
rine ? We doubt if so many ocean steamers iun
to New Orleans 1 Then we have several lines of
sailiug packets to various domestic ports. A line
to Liverpool of first cla*s ships is owned here, and
one, if not more vessels, engaged in the West
India trade, is the property es our citizens.
Savannah is the largest exfforter of lumber and
timber at the South, and has a number of excel
lent Saw Mills in her vicinity, which require exten
sive capital for their business. We had three
splendid Cotton Presses last year in full operation,
but the business increasing, called for more exten
ded facilities, when they were immediately forth
coming, and we now number four Presses, as good
as any in the world. We have Iron Foundries,
Steam Engine Shops, Rice Mills, steam lighters
bringing produce from plantations, several schoon
ers engaged in the same traffic, six tow boats, &
canal which cost $246,<XU>, and numerous minor
and less expensive, but atiil important brauchea of
commerce and trade.
Why enumerate farther ? Have we not said
enough to show the disposition which has anima
ted our citizens. Where rests the charge of lag
gards. Not on Savanuah surely ! She can proud
ly point to these testimonials of her liberality and
perseverance, and ask every citizen of Georgia, if
she has not done her duty. When has her purse
been closed against a reasonable call upon it ?
When have her citizens refused their aid and sym
pathy to a worthy cause ? We are not accustom
ed to boast of our achievmcnts, but the charge is
frequently made that our city is “old fogyish,”
uever willing to extend a helping hand, and such
like aspersions. We desire to lay our record oe
fore the citizens of our State and ask them if we
arc not clear of the eharge. We feel that a sense
of justice will animate every Georgian to give us
the reward of our deeds. We would like to see
Georgians entertaining that pride in their own sea
port which Carolinians feel lowurr'a Chatlestnc.-
The latter can refer tonosiichinvestnientainadc to
develop her own State as Savannah h:i9 made in
the development of Georgia, aud yet every Caro i
nian aids Charleston by word and deed to the ex
tent ofhis ability. Can we say the same of Geor
gians our own city ? We regret that
facts compel us to answer uegativelv. It is true
that the increasing business of Savannah has made
her the equal of Charleston, iu a commercial poim
of view ; but that equality has been obtained by
our own energy in pushing forward our iinprov
nients, aided but little, if at all, by a “• it*to
feeling of sympathy on the part of our in • ri■
frienJs, which Savannah has tried so hard lu cu.

We believe the time will come when Savannah
will receive her meed of praise ; until then, w
must continue our good works and wait patiently.

Saving the South. —We thought the South was
“saved” when Buchanan was elected! We are
certain the Democrats told us it would be, but it
seems it needs “saving” again. At all events, the
Democrats have again raised the cry that one of
their number must be elected President, and thus
9tre the South, the Constitution and the Union. —
Thus it will always be, so long as the people are
humbugged into the support of that party. Everv
tiine a Democrat is elected, the South will need
“ saving,” and the Constitution and Union will need
“saving.” We are for changing the national diet.
The nation will be more healthy by it. We are for
putting a different class of men at the head of the
affairs, believing if it is doae the Souih and the
Constitution and the Union will not need to be
“ saved” so often. — Richmond Whig.

States Mint, shows that in twenty-one years ti e
coinage at Dahlonega, Ga., was £4,961,798, an
average of £300,009 per year; but since 1854 this

1858, *100,167, and in 1859 *65,582.
Tbe total product of gold from Georgia, has been

his caine. How will they answer it in the final
day of settlement? They injure themselves; they
injure others; they soil their profession ; they are
faithless to God. They should resist the tempta
tion : they ahould oppose the tide of this spreading
evil; they should let conscience speak ; and when
vanity is sacrificing so many victims, they should
stand aloof.
