Hyri i, Pales tine, Mumja, M)ib, were subjugated, and hi my of their iuhibitants transported to Uabylou to swell the eensu- of the Capital ; •Tii lei anJ Jews were obliterated ; old Tyre was dijstroye l after a stubborn siege of thir teen years; its vast ruins testifying to its ancient grandeur, an l furnishing Alexandria the great materials to assault successfully the new city, which perpetuated the name and fame of the old. The only rival for the w wld's dominion was Kgypt, and Nebu chadnezzir, after defeating Pharoah Necho in Syria, tnirched into Egypt, ravaged its fertile plains, and returned to Babylon, la den with the sp tils of nations, the acknowl edged master of the civilized world. In the intervals of leisure after his wars he il ‘voted himself to the advancement of his capital. Bibylon was an ancient, city, perhaps the ancient Babel. It was the royal residence of B.dus and Semiramis, who bestowed so much labor upon it that she is smi ‘times term id its founder. But when Nebuchadnezzar long after became the monarch of the world, he re-built the city, c instructed those walls which are counted among the wonders of the human skill ; created the hanging gardens, which excited the wonders of our childhood, and erected the royal palace, which still rises like a con ical mound from the desolate plain of Chal dea. Those famous walls, which Herodotus and Alexander’s officers measured and des scribed, wore .°'>o feet high and 87 wide, with a spaci ms chariot road around the summit. A hundred gates of brass opened upon streets 150 feet wide, running through the city from East to West and from North to South. The city was an exact square, each side fifteen miles long, and, therefore, sixty in circumference, intersected by the Euphrates, and connected by noble bridges. The equally famous gardens were built in successive terraces up to the city walls.— They rested upon massive arches, and were covered with soil to a sufficient depth to en able forest trees to find root. Some terraces were -haded with foliage, some smiled with flowers, some waved with grain, some were covered with rocky grottos aud bubbling fountains. The beauty and magnificence of this un rivalled city, as described by Greek histo rians, are attested by Scripture phrases.— “Babylon the Great” —“the praise of the whole earth”—“the beauty of the Chaldees excellency”—“the golden city”—“the glory of kingdoms”—these are prophetic declara tions of her greatness. And, in allusion to her walls, Jeremiah, while predicting their overthrow, implies their superiority to the destructive power of ordinary agencies.— “The very walls of Babylon shall fall ’ — though men thought it as indestructible as the Pyramids of Egypt are now considered. “The broad vail of Babylon shall he utterly broken”—though seven times thicker than our ordinary fortifications. And in allusion to their height, he says, “Though Babylon inouut up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, from me shall spoilers come unto her, saiththe 1.0 rd.” These wonders were the creation of Neb uchadnezzar’s architectural skill. That he was truly the builder of Babylon is confirm ed by Col. Bayard's recent researches in Nincvali and Babylonia. In one of the mounds which he explored, he came upon “a solid piece of masonry,” built of the large Babylonian brick, “with traces of pieis and buttresses projecting from the heap of ruins.” “ t pon nearly every hrielt are clear/ 1/ and deeply stamped the name and title of Kuhn- haduezzarf and the inscribed face is always* placed downwards. Such was the amount of bricks contained in those mounds, that successive cities have Ihsoh built along the Euphrates from these mate rials as far as Bagdad. “There is scarcely a house in f 1 illa.li which is not almost en tirely built with them; and as the traveler passes through the streets, lie sees in the walls of every hovel a record of the glory and power of Nelmchadnez/.ar.” Page 412. As thig mighty monarch walked upon the terraced roof of his palace in the centre of this georgeous city, he saw enough to swell his heart with pride, as he looked around the vast area, enclosed within the walls, and counted the temples and palaces, and ob servatories he had built, he would regard himself as a model monarch, the envy of li is equals, the benefactor of mankind. When he looked down upon the rectangular streets, alive with population and busy with traffic, these creations of his power and wealth would fill his soul with satisfaction. As he surveyed the different races of subjugated peoples who inhabited his city, and marked the captives with tuihaned heads and “harps in their hands,” who frequented the “wil lows” upon the “river banks,” he “Smiled contemptuously at their strange conceit, that their God was irresistible. Had not the power of Israel’s God qnailed before Nebuchadnezzar ? Which ot the Gods of the nations had withstood his arms ? What mortal monarch could resist his will ? What leaguered array could ever scale those walls? As these thoughts engrossed his mind, he gavo utterance to them in the language of the text: “And the King spake and said, ‘l* not this great Babylon that I have built for the of the kingdom, by the might of mv power, and for the honor of my maj esty ?’ ” There was truth in tho boast; but f!od hates arrogance, and punished the boaster. While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from Heaven, “0 king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken. The kingdom is departed from thee: and they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever lie will.” “The same hour Mas the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar.’’ [ A ‘ j nd<kn insanity inll upon trim.

Mv brethren can you see any repetitions in modern history of the pride and thefajl of Nebuchadnezzar ? Voti may reply tli.it in Nip olein’s fate was read the same lesson. But T come nearer home. Tt do?? not re quire the prophetic wisdom of Hamel to interpret the dreams which have floated through the minds of the American people for a generation back, as we reposed upon our national bulwarks, and looked down up >n our unexampled prosperity; marked our empire, washed by the two great oceans of earth, studded with noble cities and fertile plains, and majestic rivers ; inde pendendent of the whole world, and secure from war, from invasion and from famine ; when we counted our brave and enterprising population, swelling from three millions to thirty in our brief existence. When we saw the ocean whitened with our commerce, the Americon flag flying in every sea, and honored alike in all, we surveyed ouraehieve ments in the spirit of Nebuchadn zzer, and self-complacently asked “Is not this great Babylon,” <Vc. Is not this Confederacy of States destined to endure, to eclipse the splendors of Eu rope and the grandeur (jf imperial Home? Have we not partaken of Nebuchadnezzar’s sin? Has not our national pride and van ity overflowed the houuds of reason uud religion ? Have we not grown as u/f confi dent as the Babylonian monarch? Our‘wall’ we thought too strong to fall down. (Jut house we thought “built upon a rock.”— The wisdom and stability of our federative system we were never tired of proclaiming. \Vc lauded our republican institutions as the model of social organization, the panacea for all political ills, and the hope of mankind; and to all discontented peoples we held up our Union as a beacon light, saying unto them, “Look ye unto me and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth.” From this overweening self-cofidence in our destiny, we have yroirn arrogant in out hearing. The language of contempt haa been our language towards the most ancient monarchies. \Vc have characterized them as “the crumbling despotisms of the old world,” and congratulated ourselves on the foresight which had provided siu-li a house fur our home, as would throw all our neigh bors into the shade, and shelter our children in all time to come. “In my prosperity I said I should never he moved from it ” But < bid hates pride and arrogance, wheth er in a crowned monarch or a republican people, and our pride falls as suddenly as Nebuchadnezzar's. There lias been no voice from heaven proclaiming our fate, but the* word of God and the finger of God are equally manifest. Suddenly, unaccounta bly, onr national grandeur melts away like wax before the lire, our political union dis solves like the shifting scenes of a diorama, our country crumbles into fragments, in time of profound peace, without any hostile touch, without external pressure, without internal violence —I sec nothing like it in history. Our vanity bursts like a bubble, our ship of State goes to pieces in a calm day, on a smooth sea, without any assignable cause.— A mysterious power affects it; wv*ry nail is loosened, every plank starts, and the crew must save themselves upon rafts until an other vessel he constructed. What is the cause ? We say, the abolitionists. They say, the secessionists. Nothing was further from their intentions than a disruption of the Union—nor did any Southern State con template such an event six months since. It is manifestly God’s decree against ovr national pride. We have been victims of prosperity. — That is the fountain whence our overflowing vanity is supplied. Thus mankind have ever abused God’s gifts- “bride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness,” were the provoking causes of Sodom’s destruction. The carnal security of >loab was declared by the Prophets to provoke his fall. “Mnah is at ease from his youth, lie is settled on his lust,” and prosperity begot pride and pride was his ruin. Nebuchadnezzar was the victim, of pros perity. He was fortune’s favorite. Tn the field, in the cabinet, in arts, in wealth, he had no rival. But great prosperity yielded its usual fruit. “His heart was lifted up and his mind hardened in pride,” and the usual result followed. God “deposed him from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him.” This is the lesson ot his tory for six thousand years. Nations and individuals alike illustrate its truth, for “Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit,” ko. The United States of America is the last recorded example of a people spoiled by prosperity and overthrown by pride. Here are the true cause of our national dissolution, tind these the rocks of which we must beware in our future history. Mv brethren, 1 have set these things be fore you, not to triumph in the failure of our Confederation, (for a feeling of sorrow will ever touch a generous mind as it surveys the ruins of a noble edifice) nor to seek occa sion for boasting at onr neighbor’s expense, (foi we have done our full share in inflating the national vanity) ; but to draw lessons of wisdom for the future. We arc now endeavoring to reconstruct a government for a portion of this Confeder acy. I pray God that we may be preserved from past error. A government in our land is only the reflections of the public .senti ment, and an embodiment of the national character. lienee every man'* opinion and every man’s chit carter enters into the na tional structure, and helps to mould its form, and to influence its destiny. Every citizen contributes his mite towards the character of the rising edifice. Beware then of an unsound foundation. Neither pride nor policy can uphold a na tion’s happiness- Too much confidence in ourselves in onr own courage, and wisdom, and destiny, while it gives a temporary strength, really weakens the body politic.— Tn times of trouble it will provo worthless a* a brittle sword, for it will always And or provoke a pnde equal to its own, and it will I always array God’s power in opposition*— N iti >na! pride, personal pride ot power, of wealthy of birth. God hates. Let us not poil the new Confederacy by an infusion of national pride. It will prove rotten mortar between the joints of tho edifice, and stone after stone will drop our, until the whole fabric eomea to the ground. Let us not rest nur hopes upon identity of institutions in the Southern States. Slavery is itself no bond of Union. It has become so with us, simply as the result of outward pressure. The Chaldean Monarchy, the Roman Empire, the Greek republics, the South American States, were all slaveh.dd ing countries. But they have all fallen to piece? notwithstanding. Os itself, it is a mere rope of sand, with no more power, po litically, than any other recognized relation ship. Let ua not repose upon our agricul tural staples. Cotton is the king whom commerce now worships. But its reign may pass away like other human sceptres. It is not now more firmly established in its su piemaey than Nebuchadnezzar’s was in his. Suddenly as the ancient monarch was hurl ed from his seat the dominant staple may he from its commercial throne. Sixty or seventy years since, indigo was the produce of Southern fields, and Gotten sc-arccly known. Seventy years hence some other culture may supplant this, as it has sup planted the former production, and mora remunerative labor may fill its place. These are the two human props upon which the Southern mind is now tempted to lean, in stead of upon the eternal God. They are the arches upon which pride is resting our political house. But they will sink beneath ’ tlie superincumbent, weight, like the arches iu the walls of Babylon. Beware also of a greediness after territo rial acquisition . This has become a rul ing passion in the American mind. It is i the sin. of strong nations. Acquisitiveness makes the individual grasp property; it makes the nations grasp territory. It grat ifies at. once ambition aud covetousness. — But the lust of aggrandisement debauches a people. If God’s Providence enlarges a man’s property, or a nation’s territory, He will sanction the use, so that it shall not prove a snare. But an acquisition eagerly coveted, and unlawfully grasped, lowers the character, and begets a dishonest spirit.— All empires perish from two much expan sion. What, then, is our hope for the future? “The Lord who ruleth in the earth and //<’/> rth the kingdom to whomsoever He will." — Let ii rest our hopes on Him, practically and theoretically. There should be a more formal acknowledgement of God than the Constitution of the United States contains. Our Christian character, our faith in the Gospel and the Christian Sabbath, should he openly affirmed. But more than a formal, there should he a general, hearty recogni tion of God’s word and power and blessing. ()ur laws should rest upon the eternal prin ciples of right and wrong which the Scrip tures reveal —our national, social life, he regulated by the rules of truth and justice, which God has therein given us. The supreme power of Jehovah should be the recognized basis of our national exis tence. “Hath not the potter power over the clay to mould it as he lists,” is the com parison by which the Lord asserts his sove reign power over the nation. The heathens reject the claim and set up a rival God “He xtra men Dens" —ray right hand is God, saith the atheist, and many a monarch .since Nebuchadnezzar hath foolishly repeat ed the boast, and let us believe “that the Lord he is God,” “his arm our defence,” his powor “our shield and bucxlcr . Ler us seek and obtain his “Wessing,” for it maketh rich in enduring benefits. His blessing upon our rulers, upon our people. and our land , shall gL T e security and happiness in future years. “Secure his bles sinf/s “by righteousness.’ Let every man contribute his aid. “Acknowledge the Lord in all thy ways.” Lot, “his name he hallowed,” and oaths be sacred in our land. Let our rulers and people honor his Sab bath, our railroads and steamboats cease their traffic on the Lord’s day. Let our Churches he filled with devout worshippers, and the enticements to sin enclosed by law upon that day. Let men deal truly and justly with their fellows, remembering that God will reward every good and every evil deed. Let us, a Christian nation, glorify the Lord Jesus. Let our heartfelt trust be ever in the Lord. It was the sin of his heart which overthrew Nebuchadnezzar. It is the pride of nur heart w’hieh provokes the Lord. “Let not the wise man glory, neither let the mighty man, let not the rich, but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he nn derstandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord, who exercises loving kindness, judg ment. and righteousness in the earth, tor in these things I delight, saith the l.ord. Thus we should know that “there i.i a God that ruleth in the earth “that lle cxalt eth the people according tc his willthat “his dominion is an everlasting dominion,” and “his kingdom from generation to gener ation.” Thus should “we praise Thee, oh, God, and God, even our God, should give us his blessing."’ With that all pervading blessing to crown our work ; with our ac knowledged advantages, agricultural, com mercial, social aud religious, with a united people, walking in the fear of God, and the faith of the Gospel, we may expect to retain the favor of heaven. “His blessing mak eth rich, and addeth no sorrow with it.” — May it be to us for walls and bulwarks, so our house shall stand! It. will shelter the Ark of God, secure the welfare of our chil dren, and reflect the “honor of his majesty ; and “the Lord of hosts shall he for a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to the res idue of his people !

It was built for the manufacture of furni ture and wooden ware, and is probably tho only one of the kind in the Southern coun try combining the manufacture of furniture and wooden ware. The present Company, Messrs. Jefferson & Hamilton, purchased the establishment in April, 1858, and have carrying on the business ever since with success and profit. They have in their employment, from fifteen to tliirty hands. Os the leading articles, they manufacture annually from 10,000 t,o ‘25,000 of different styles of chairs, from 15,000 to 25,000 of tubs and buckets, from 1,000 to 2,000 of bedsteads, besides other articles of furniture and wooden ware. These articles are sold principally to home markets embraced with in a circuit of two hundred miles and up wards, around Columbus. Before the dis solution of the Union, they sold at prices equal to the cost of buying and transporting similar articles from the North. Since that event, the business, we are informed, has received a fresh impulse, and is increasing gradually beyond the expectation of the pro prietors. Their facilities for increasing their manufactures are entirely adequate to any extent to which the demauds may reach. Silent Influence.

Crops in Georgia—The Late Frosts. —We are in receipt of accounts from nearly every quarter of the .State, and our general conclusi n is, that never before were our planters ami farmers more fully up with the seasons in the work on their estates. The ground was broken early, and, consequent iy. was iu excellent condition to roe- ive the seed. Corn planting in the uplands wus pretty well completed in the past month, while in many localities the plant hag reached above the ground, i growing vigorously. This is the month for putting in cotton seed with a large majority of our planters, and the work is progressing favor ably. The fall crops, such as wheat, oats, &e., which were supposed to have been seriously injured by the recent snow and frosts, have apparently suffered but little damage, and are going forward with the prospect of a bountiful harvest, even where it was earliest. The early fruit, peaches especially, was injured, and in some cases entirely destroyed ; but the evil effects have been confined to particular localities, where it was much exposed. The crop generally, we are inclined to believe, will be an aver age one.— Savannah Republican. Hon. Geo. \Y.

Politically, he is in the “wrong pen,” for Alabama is not a member of the United States but of the Confederate States, and the old Union is a foreign nation and Governnien to her. His office, therefore, is a sinecure, and is only important as showing the animus of tho Lincoln Administration —not by any act to recognize the existence of the separation.— The acceptance of the office will necessarily produce a conflict of authority.
