Household Servants.
Tlie City Council of Atlanta latch psss
cd the following resolutions in reference o ,
the employment of household servants .
‘ WrtfctiEAS, A serious ditßcujty ex
perienced by citizens on j ' -of the
uii reliahi lit v of servants, who at j too much
in the habit of ehtingingI I 'uCe» from in
sufficient eauses, and *' „<> make these

city a imfnisMatrmi to make absolute en
actin nis to correct the evil while it is one
th.-v arc very desirous to overcome, there
fore i e it
/{evolved, I hat the Mayor and Council
do earnestly recommend to all citizens,
Horn tins day forth, to require a “charac
ter,” or recommendation in all casts, from
ih last employer of a servant applying
for employment.
J.esolvett, That in the opinion of the
3day' r and Countil, it is the duty of all
go hi citizens id act unitedly, in accordance
v» ill. this recommendation, as their most
ellicicut pfoleci nm against the evil alluded
to, which will otherwise continue arid in
crease, and as an act of duty ami justice to
the serving class, the worthy among
which, wil. thereby he distinguished from
the worthless.”
These recommendations aro timely and
important. The practice they enjoin
should he universally adopted as a mean- J
uu indispensable to self protection II
furnishes not only some needful guar&n?
tee of honesty and capacity upon the part
of the domestic seekiug employment, but
it provides an equally indispensable de
fence against n isionduct upon the part of
those regularly retained in your seivice.
W hen it hecotnes an established fact that
no white person will employ a servant
who cannot bring such a writteu guaran
tee, then there will be far Jess larceny j
from the kitchen or the house—far less
ltipudence and laziness, and little or iiodc*
of that “quittii g in a hull,” which often
exposes the interests of the household and
tin comfort and patience of the house
wife to the caprice and id-temper of an
ignorant and unreasonable negro.
Il seems to us no words should be nec
essary to enforce tho utility of the | rac~
tice recom men dec "Everybody must see
It, and every good Snail and woman be
anxious for its establishment. The only
question is, how eau it be established? It
must he dotiesy the voluntary action of
employers. Let the first question of ev
v\ body, to whom a domestic applies for a
place, he “ where- is y our certificate of char
acter?” ‘‘Who did you last live with - ?*’
"If you have no certificate, lu*w does it
happen that you are without one?” For!
a lime it would he manifestly u’ljust to re- j
fuse employment in all cases unless mio.i a i
certificate should cc produced. But ab !
soon as the necessity for such a document
comes to be generally understood, then it I
would be strong prinm facie evidence of ]
dishonesty and incapacity, that an appli
cant huitld bo found without one, and
then its absence should become a conclu
sive b<r to employment.
It may ba said that many unworthy
persoi s would not fall in with the practice;
but it is seldom such people can furnish
desirable situations, and therefore their
neglect or violation of the rule would
amount to little, if the better classes of
the community should unite to enforce it.
All good servants, in search of good situa
tion.-., would then have passes, and the
class of servants who failed to get them
would he precisely adapted to the class of
employers who reliise to require them.

A Pecuniary Revulsion and Specie
paying.
In its regular objurgation of the South,
which has now become a itaiidiog feature
of the New York Herald, that paper o' the
18th, takes a sensible view of tr & utter
impossibility of anything like on@ those
old fashioned pecuniary ar trade COQVul _
sions, which, »» far '\. €le .paying times,
would occasionally aweep over t h e count-y
like a burrio ‘ proßtrating everything
but the y B p iU test and most deep-rooted
busin' departmeuts.
1 '] be Herald prefaces and follows the re
marks w e quote with some very gratuitous
flings at the Bouth. It asserts that rebel
newspapers” are chuckling over the hope
of seeing the North swamped in a sea of
financial trouble! What “rebel newspa
per” is fool enough to suppose that com
mercial and pecuniary disasters in the
North would not react with damaging ef
fect upon the South? And what “rebel
newspaper” is s > full of blind and malig
nant venom as to wish to add to the load
of Southern misery merely for the sake of
seeing the North suffer?
It is a most deplorable —a most porten
tious sign of the times that such a paper
as *he New York Herald— so widely circu
lated—so supremely selfish —such a perfect
Mephibtopheles in politics —aud treating
all public questions merely in regard to
their effect upon the cash accounts of the
establishment —cau tiud profit in pander
ing daily to the already violent and deep
seated hostility of the North to this sec
tion !
But not to digress, we copy the observa
tions of the Herald upon the point alluded
to, with th* remark that the same views
were confidently expressed by the Jour
ual <fc Messenger a year ago. Bo long as
our currency ernains irredeemable in spe
cie, just so long there can be nothing like
aii extensive financial panic ; but when
the sell- mes of some of the wiseacres in
Congress and the newspaper establish
ments, to force specie payments with any
thing like the present circulation and na
tional debt are carried out,then stand from
under — for omth panics wiLl follow as this
country never before witnessed. Bays the
herald:
“There are a good many silly people at
the North, tt>o, who sometimes talk of a
coming revwlsiou. There can be no revul
sion while the volume of currency is
abundant and irredeemable in specie. A
few people may fail through overtrading
or imprudent management of their busi
ness. This occurs at all periods and in all
oouutfieo—an specie-paying times as well
as another times; but it is impossible there
j bhould he anything like general financial
trouble. We are liable to such a disaster
, at any time when specie alone is the le
i galized currency, because when foreign
exchange is largely against us and other
countries draw the precious metals from
is, we are left without a sufficient medi
um for the purposes ot trade. This as ev
ery business naan knows, tends to create
a revulsion. Wo know, however, that
foreign countries will not draw away our
paper currency under any circumstances
soasjto make the least perceptible impres
sion upon our internal trade aud com
merce, Revulsions occur for the waut of
money—never when there is a good and
steady supply ; and our legal tender cur
-1 rency is as good money as any other —as
! gold itself—for all the purposes of internal
l trade. Besides, the country is in a beal
* thy, prosperous condition; we are develop
ing our resources mole and more every
1 day, ami we are approaching, as rapidly as
j it is healthful to do so, a specie basis ”
! But we assort, lurtber than the Herald,
that it will be fully to attempt to reduce
the circulation to a specie standard, until
the public debt, mid the annual revenue
necessary to meet it it are also proportiou
! ably reduced. The enormous revenues of
J the country, which so long as the public
debt approximates to anything like its
1 preseui amount, must remain m terially
uudimiuisbed in volume, dematid of
themselves a la’ ge circulation. Add to
1 what they require the demands of trade,
; and it seems to us, at least, clear that a
curtailment of thecuneuey to a safe spe-
ciestandaid, would iu.olve'such pecuni
ary stringency and distress that it would
he exceedingly difficult it not quite im
possible to ooilect the revenue.
.so long as the present volume of cur
rency is maintained, taxes are practically
diminished not much short of fifty per
; ce i t . Come down to gold valuations and
j taxes without a change iu the figures
would be practically increased from tiftv
to one bundled per cent, and the public
; debt he largely swollen. But so large a
! .uoportiou of the Northern people are
! creditois of the National doverument
! tnat it is not wonderful there should be a
strong disposition manifested to push a
reduction of tlie currency and the resump
t.ou of s[>ecie p lymeuts, although it will
j work such disastrous consequences upon
| the tux payers an.l the business' of the
country. The public creditor escapes tax
ation, and his interest lies in redueiug out
-1 side valuations sous to make his revenue
as valuable as possible.
Tli is class comprises the mass of intelli
gent Northern men of capital, and theiv j
influence with the press is almost c< ntrol
' ling. Let them beware that in the at
tempt to make the most of their invest
ments, they do not shake the foundations
of the public faith and impair the value of
their own securities. When governtnen
attempts to collect existing takes out of a
specie circulation, it will apply a test of
extraordinary, if not intolerable, severity
to the tax-paying ability aud willingness
of the people.

existing law —and anomaly in legislation
—to a domestic tax of three ceuts per

This is indeed monstrous. The raising

&JV. Jenkms-Does He Sympathise
witli the Masses, or the Common
People ?
Editors Journal and Messenger .-—Hav
ing in ruy ftistartiele. published yesterday,
alluded to Governor Jenkins as a Legisla
tor—wherein he was not only liberal ise,
conscientious and patriotic in all that per
tained to the elevation of our people, and
the growth, the prosperity, and honor oi
Georgia, but wherein he was ever the
friend of the widow and orphan, the poor,
the needy, or the friendless and unfortu
nate—l will now turn to his action as Gov
ernor.
Since Mr. Jenkins has been Governor,
has he shown anything like the character
which these persons have tr ed to induce
the people to believe he possesses ? Let us
see.
The State of Georgia, last winter, was
poor indeed, as to money, and it v. m* fear
ed, indeed, also, poor astocredit—and it re
quired not only a sympathizing, but a bold
heart to talk about appr ipriatiug and
raising money to help the poor, the needy, |
the distressed and even the starving. But j
from various sources Governor Jenkins
had been induced to believe that there was
much suffering in Cherokee and upper
Georgia, and other places, especially among
the widows aud orphans of indigent de
ceased -oldiers, and others, dependent up
on them for bread, and that unless help
was gtven by the Btate, much more suffer
ing would ensue.' True to bis nature and
his actions in the past, no sooner did the
Legislature meet last January, after Gov. j
Jenkins was inaugurated, than he recom
mended help to these destitute persons.
The members of the Legislature, after cou
sidering and speaking oyer the matter for
weeks, finally refused to make the appro
priation. Had Charles J. Jenkins been
the man that these detractors of his char
acters would have the meinbersof the Leg
islature and the people of Georgia to be
lieve him to be—had he been the cold- .
hearted man, the Aristocrat., or one having ,
no sympathy with the masses or with the
common people, lie would have been per- i
feotly couteut with the actiou of the Leg- j
islature, aud he would have said nothing
more. But his lieait of other days had not ,
changed. Iu those days, lie seemed to
care not if one or a thousand werß against j
him—he only fought the harder and more
earnestly for the rights and interests of the
widows and the orphans, or the poor, the
needy, or the unfortunate, as “the crowd”
or "the majority,” seemed against his
‘good cause.' 1 Consequently, no sooner
did be learn that the House of Representa
tives, by a decided vote, had refused the
appropriation to buy corn or bread for
those destitute persons, than be sent to
both branches of the Legislature the fol
lowing message:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,-!
Milledgeville, sth March, 1863. f
To the General Assembly :
“ I herewith communicate reports re
ceived from two Counties, of the number
of destitute soldiers and widows of soldiers,
<fcc., in those Counties.
In the message transmitted to you at
the commencement of thesession, I allud
ed to the destitution aud sufferings of dis
abled soldiers ami their fain lies, anil of
the families of deceased soldiers, as pre
senting strong claims upon our gratitude
and humauity.
Not knowing what action the General
Assembly may propose to take on the sub
ject, it is perpaps proper that I should ap
prise you that from information received
from different quarters, and apparently
reliable, I have reason to that be
fore another crop cau be gathered, the suf
fering among them and other destitute
persons in Counties which have been over
run by both armies, in the late war, will be
most intense. The liberality of citizens in
those localities who came out of the war
with enough and to spare, has already
been severely taxed to relieve such wants,
aud from it a litt e more can reas manly
he expected. The existing system for the
relief of pauperism is probably adequate
to its necessities in ordinary times, and it
is certainly bad policy to encourage,among
any people, a reliance upon government
for a supply of the necessaries of life. But
the circumstances surrounding us at this
time are extraordinary—such as have uev
er occured before in out day, aud we may
hope will never occur again.
The question presents itself—how shall
relief be given ? To rely upon the raising
of a tax iu each County to meet the wants
within its borders, would be liable to two
objections. First, unless the co lection of
such a tax be accelerated much beyond
the usual time, it will be too tardy to
meet the exigency. Secondly, if it is so
accelerated, it will find those upon wb*tn
the burthen must fall, generally unpre
pared for it.
lam not aware of any other method
than direct State aid. For the exteutiou
of this the times are certainly very uupro
pitious. An empty treasury may be, by
some, regarded a sufficient reason for
withholding lar-echarities, however laud
able. But it should be considered that the
State that has a credit which these suffer
ers have uot. This, and the further con
sideration that their sufferings are not the
result of idleness or of vice, satisfy me that
we should not hesitate to incur a debt ad
ditional to that contemplated for other
purposes, iu order to supply bread for a
few mouths to the hungry and helpless.
Tlie debt of the State is small. The in
increase you may direct for her objects
will leave it still small, in comparison
with her resources, and the addition of a
few hundred thousand dollars for such a
purpose, will neither deprotv credit
now, nor materially embarrass her finances
hereafter.
I recommend that you authorize the
purchase of corn in such manner, and in
such quantity, as you may deem advisa
ble, at points where it is abundant, to be
{raid for by tlie negotia'ion of bonds, and
provide for its judicious and faithful dis
tribution. I trust the different railroad
companies in the State will, in atd of such
a cause, lighten the State’s burthen b
favorab e terms of transportation, to points
of distribution, should you determine to
take such action. So far as concerns the
Western and Atlantic Rail Road, you
have the power to set the example.”
Charles J. Jenkins,
Governor.
When this Message was sent to the Leg
islature, Committees were raided in both
K ran*«hes of that Body, aud the result was,
that $200,000 was soon appropriated ior
tbe purpose designated by Gov. Jenkins
in the above message.
But this was not all. Although the
Legislature had made tlie appropriation,
that body did not find the money. It au
thorized the raising of the money by the
issue and sale of State Bonds. To prepare
Bonds, issue and soil them was and is a
slow process, especially when people want
bread. Nevertheless, had Gov. Jet.kins
been the cold-hearted mau, tbe aris.ocrat,
or the unsympathetic man, that these de
[ tractors represent him to be, hecould have
gone along in tlie. strict line of duty aud
had his bonds prepared, printed, Ac., be
fore trying to get the mohty upon them.
But what does he next do ? Fearing that
1 in consequence of the condition of our
State, aud le threats of the Radicals, he
| might not be able to raise the money from
abroad, soon enough to help these people
in their need, no sooner dots the Legisla
*
tnre adjourn than be issues the following
call :
A CARD. *
To Georgia Capitalist* : A portion of the
People of Georgia, in Districts overrun
by both armies during the late war. ate j
suffering for lark of food, and unless
epe dil\ relieved must suffer more, per
haps starve. Thei” more fortunate and
benevolent neighbors have done much for
them, hut cau do little more. The evi
deuce of these facts is full and startling.
The legislature has appropriated money
for their relief, but the money is not in
the Treasury. They have authorized the
borrowing of money, upon most satisfac- |
tory security, but it will require time to
have the Bonds aud Mortgages, prepared
and executed. And while this time runs
against the sufferers, their sufferings will j
be terribly intensified, I am ready and
anxious to act, but lack the means. In ;
the name of patriotism and humanity I '
appeal to jou to furnish them. Il will be •
a good pecuniary investment, and some
thing more, a commendable charity. Bring
forward the money on loan, for 80, or 120 j
days, or six months or five, or thirty
years, as you prefer, with seven per cent. J
interest. You will do well,and the hun
gry will do better.
All editors friendly to the object, will
please give he above a few insertions, and
briefly direct attention to it.
Chakles J. Jenkins,
• Governor.
Still not idle, he sent out an agent to
the North, and failing to get any money
from those persons called upon, by. hi>
management he succeeded . borrowing
the money, on short time, at seven per
cent, interest, and hud about 185,000 bush
els of corn distributed to the poor as soon
~s it could lie bought and sent to them.
And are such language aud action as are
above quoted, the language aud actiou of
“an Aristocrat,” of a mau “who has u >
sympathies in common with the people,”
of one who “has a cold-heart,” &e. If
yea, then welcome, thrice welcome,' all
, such Aristocrats, all such cold-hearted aud
unsympathizing men, to the heart of at
i least one true Georgian and a poor mau,
j whose whole sympathies are with his fel
! low man, and who sorrows most when he
i cannot relieve those iu distress.
But, say these traducersef good men aud
I true men, wno will not subserve their pur
! poses, “Gov. Jenkins vetoed the Stay law,
! and other bills for the relief of the people,
last spring, and he will do it again,” aud
j that, therefore, he “has no sympathy for
‘or w ith the people.” Those, even, who
1 are hunting in every hole aud corner, aud
are trying all sorts of shifts to avoid paying
their just debts, while having plenty of
property to pay the same, aud who are
looking out for and riding every “hobby”
with which they think can fool the people
i aud enable them to ride into office, know
I nut how to appreciate the feelings and seu
! timents of a truly benevolent, symbathetic
and honest man. But every honest man
! or politician , differing with Governor Jen
kins and knowing his character, will deem
him sincere and honest in the following
concluding portion of his Message, vetoing
the Stay Law ; and while they may
not approve his action, they cannot but
, respect him for the strong sympathetic
j feeling there evinced—while discharging,
! as he says, n official duty iu which he
! “takes no pleasure,” but the performance
I of which he finds “painful in thoextreme.’
But hear him :
| “I take no pleasure in the performance
of this duty. Always reluctant to disa
gree with the General Assembly, I can
i truly say this disagreement is painful in
| the extreme. T have abundant sympathy
for the suffering people of Georgia, and
I in the desire of the General Assembly to
; alleviite their sufferings. But on enter-
ing this office I took at the threshold, in
presence of you ail, a solemn oath to pre
serve, protect and defend the Constitu
tion of the United States, and of the State
of Georgia; and this I must do, as I, not
as others, understand those instruments.
If I doubted I would give the measure the
benefit of the doubt, and leave its consti
tutionality to the Courts ; but, not doubt
ing I must dissent as I regard my oath. —
Upon such subjects, men equally earnest
in search of truth, ami equally upright
and fair, in their habits of thought, are
prone to differ. Whenever such a differ
ence occurs, it becomes each party to ex
tend to th other the meed of upright at
tention I have done what l conceive to
be my duty, and if after reconsideration,
which 1 respectfully invite, a constitu
tional majority of the General Assembly
should adhere to the meant j, I shad in
dulge the hope that no detriment will
come to the State, either from its seem
ingly unequal practical operation, or from
its imputed violation of the fundamental
law.
Charles J. Jenkins,
Governor. i
In the above, there are but few words, ,
but they express much, and Ls anything j
appears more prominent than another, it
is, that while lie had “abundant tympa- j
thy for the suffering people of Georgia ;
aud in the desireof me General Assembly
to alleviate their euffeiiligs,” yet true to ;
the ms nets of his whole life, i>e prefered
to c?o right according to his own judg- .
meut and construction of tbe C'oustitu-1
tions which Le had sworn to defend and
support, rather than to yield to his sym
pathetic and more erring feelings aud “go
with the crowd.” And has it become a
! crime for one thus to act ?
And does any mandouotGov. Jenkins 7
■ sincerity and truth in what lie says above?
If yea, let him show wherein Gov. Jen
kins has ever dissembled or deceived any
one or was ever Known or e uspqcted of
professing what he did not feel, auo i*>
default of any Buck showing, let him who
attempts, iu the manner alluded to, to
j prejudice people against a jurt aud good,

and Christian, st ndbef re nil men as uot

I Records and of History.
One word from the writer as to Govern
or Jenkins, and the Banks. Last spring,
while ail other parties were* seeking “ re
| lief” from the Legislature, and asking to
be allowed a little equity, tffie Banks put
in a claim too, and asked to be allowed
the same equities that were given to in
dividuals or the people. The writer, re
collecting that, during the war, but for
tbe Banks, the State of G eorgia at one
t ; me could uot have moved, for w'ant of
tnouey, in carrying on her Oj*erations, and
seeing from the Lomptrolaer General's
Report, that tlie State had obtained from
tho Banks over $0,000,000, which si*; had
repudiated ; he favored the proposition to
gi\e tne Banks the same equities given
individuals. ibis being his position, he
was iu the confidence of tlie Bank men,
and. it inks lie fully knew their and
their fears. Before and after the veto of
the Stay Law, Gov. Jenkins was closely
watched by the friends cf tb t law, and,
because he went into tlie lobby, ami lis
tened to the debate upon the subject ot
relief to the Banks, the cry was at o,nce
taken up (and even published in the pa
peisj that lie was for the relief of the

This is a faci, and only shows how a good (
may be misunderstood and misrepresented
at times.
But enough. I will say no more,eseent
to remark, that were I not fully satisf’mf j
that under no circumstances will Governor
Jeukin3 permit his uame to be used again
for the office of Governor; aud that be
will be more than glad to retire at tjj>e epd ,
of his present term, I might perhaps have
hesitatedbeflPre writiug this, lest it mtglit ‘
be misconstrued and be considered as an
electioneering article. And, besides, I
have no desire or wish to interfere with
the hopes or aspirations of other good and
true friends, whose names I have heard
connected with the candidacy for that of
fice. But now that the “deck is cleared”
for the next race —and the detractors atone
are busy—and as this article is not inten
ded to reflect in the slightest degree upon
: me misinformed or humbugged relief man
or other person, or even to condemn the
1 ignorantorsilly disappointed office-seeker,
who may perhaps only have used language
put into his mouth, by the better inform
ed, but more wily and designing; in fine,
: Mr. Editor, as this article neither inter
i seres with the aspirations of any one for the
Governorship, nor is intended to reflect
up n the virtuous and good, in any way,
hut as it only in a homespun manner
brushes away the “cobwebs” attempted
to be formed around and calculated to mar
! the “ beauty of character” of a great and
good man now “on deck ' or at the helm
j ..ind guiding the ship of State, for the ben

Milledgeville, Dec. 7, 1860.
Why do the Leaves Fall.
Not long since it would have been im
possible to bavegiveu a satisfactory reply
to a question which at this season of the
year, is frequently asked —\\ hy do the
leaves fall? True, there were plenty of
reasons cited, but they were for the most
part merely hypothetical. Some said taut
as the leaves were gorged with sjp, their
functions became iu consequence impeded,
and at last the leaves iMod and were push
ed off from the tree by the current of the
sap. Others said it was the bud, that
nestled m the axil of the leaf, that quietly
removed the parent leat as itself increased
iu bulk—a strange theory, when it is con
sidered how many more leaves there are
than buds! A third notion was that as the
leaves died mortification ensued, a line of
demarcation was formed, and the dead be
j came separated from the living—a notion
evidently derived from the experience of
. * i *l. .. .. . 41a■ > 4 /\f iii. i ao(Y_
tneburgeou tuau
etabie anatomist.
Another of these guesses, and one ap
parently which finds much favor with
compilers of “popular" books, attributes
the fall of the teas to an encrustation or
deposit of earthy matter iu the cells of the (
leaf in Autumn; this goes on, according
to our theorists, to such an extent that the
Cells become blocked up, loaetheir powers,
hence dry up, shrivel and fall to the
grouud—true euough, but not sufficient to
account for all the phenomena. On turn
ing from these explanations to others of
fered in more recent time 6 by scientific
observers as the result ot personal obser
vation, we find so great a conformity of
statements iu ail more impoitaut parties
lars that it can badly be doubted that we
can aow, at least in a general way, answer
the question as to why the leaves fall.
Several independent observers, among
whom Dr. Inman, of Liverpool, is one |
have arrived at the conclusion that the
fall of the leaf is due to the formation of a
layer of cells, arranged iu a plane differ
ent from that of the rest of the tissues,,
| thus gradually severing the leaf from its
support, much as a knife blade would do,
|an i moreover, serving as a thin skin to ,
i,rott ct the surface of what would other
; wise bean open wound.
The ce'ls of this dividiug layer, as shown
by Dr. Inman, of Liverpool, and con
firmed by Mohl, contain a quantity of
starch, a substance not contained iu the
adjacent cells. This dividing layer seems
first to h ve been clearly observed by
Link; Inman, Scacht and Metfeniua con
firmed its existence, and Mohl has added
largely to our knowledge of it. We have
1 as yet to learn why this peculiar layer is
formed. As to the pci iod of its first ap-
pearanee, that is known to precede the t
fall of the leaf by but a short '
interval, though indications of its future
1 formation exist from a very early period.
Thj first stage in the development of the
leaf, as shown by Eichler, and recently ,
confirmed by Dr.XV. R. McNab, is consti
! tuted by the appearance on the side ot ;
the stem oi a minute process called the
, “bypophyll,” from which, and not direct
ly from the stem itself, the leaf originates.
■Whether, when the leaf falls, the separa
tion takes place immediately from the
j stem, or between this bypophyll and the j
leaf it supports, is not a matter of practi
cal importance, and does not affect the ex
planation above given as to the cause of
the defoliation.— Gardener'* Chronicle.
The Proposed Southern Territori
al Bill.—A Washington correspondent
j of the New York Herald writes as follows:
It is confidently asserted by Southern
men that the Territorial Bill now before
CongrcM will never be enforced by the
] President if it should be passed. Wot one
; of them believe iu the rigut of Congress,
or any other body or power, to destroy p
Hovreignty. This is the ground assumed by
; the President. Hence t e confidence of
the people interested.

Death of Lyon J. Levy. —Lyon J. Le
vy. at one tiiuo the most piuuiiuuut mu
chant of Philadelphia, died on Friday.
He occupied at one time the site now oc
, copied by the postoftice, on Chestnut
street, from wnich 110 removed to the
building now occupied by the National
Bank of tiie Republic, which he erected
at a cost of more than SIOO,OOO. Mr. Levy
wasoneofthe most enterprising, active
and useful meu in hi3 speciality which
our city has ever had. So says the Phila
. delphia North American, of 17th iustaut..
EOuAn anti-American meeting was
• held at Vera Cruz, the latter part of No
vember, at which agents were busy eircu
lating reports damaging to the intentions
j of the United States iu her interference ip
Mexican affairs, and thatthey p.oposed to
annex Mexico, and the former war be
tween the two countries was quoted to
prove the assertion. When the Susque
hanna arrived people convinced that sVe
came for the purpose of completing the
transfer of Mexico to the United States.
j ftS-Statisticalinformation received in
' Washington shows a rapid increase in cot
ton and woolen manufacturesin the South
ern States. Georgia has nowseventy-eight
tactorieo, many of themof the first class,
and engaged in manufacturing calico, as
well as the coarser muslins and woolen
goods. There are also seven barge estab
lishments in course of erection iu North
ern Mississippi.
The Boston Post says : “If the re
bellion of Shays in Massachusetts, and of
the Whisky People iu Pennsylvania, has
I been punished, as it ia now proposed to
punish the rebels of the South, both Mas

Shocking Scene. —A ship called the
Elizabeth Buckham was recently wrecked
on the Eugliah coast, near AY hit* haven.
A correspondent of the Liverpool Mercu
ry, November 29th, -frays, ~x
Since the wreck, numbers of puncheons
of rum have been washed on shore near
New Brighton. It would seem that the
news of (lie h,ssof the “ rum ship spiead
like wild tire among tiie lower orders of
the people on the Cheshire coast, and
crows made their way to New Brighton
to see what would turn up. Maney of
them would seem to have been actuated
bv no lione.-t motives ; there could be
little doubt that they had been enticed
there with the hope of picking up some
rum casks which might fUat ashore and
getting drunk cheap. The customs offi- |
cers took charge of upwards of 130 punch
eons of rum, several bales of cotton, and
sugar hegsheads, that had been secured.
But many of the rum casks bad been
“ tapped ” before they fell into the hands
of tiie coast guard men ; and tiie drink
ing of the raw rum hy those who procured
i it resulted iu a scene of debauchery i*er
fectly indescribaflie. Men and women
were to be seen in all stages of intoxica
cation, and some sottish fellows were ob
served lying in corners sleeping oflf tiie
effects of their debauch. One vouth
Darned Foulds, related to a person who
keeps a hotel at New Brighton, managed
teget sonu of the turn, drank it, and
i such were the consequences that, notwith
standingevery medical attention, he suc
cumbed to the fatal effects of the diink.
A man employed as a painter, emptied his
| paint can, wiped it out with a bunch of
grass, tilled it w ith rum, took a drink, fell
on his head in a tool of water, and had it
UJJ Jll3 IJCrtW 111 « V,- ,
not been lor some passers by, w ould no
doubt have lost liio life: as it is, he is at
present in a daugeioue state from tiie ef
fects of the rum. Many eases of asimilar
kind eoukl be mentioned. On Tuesday
uight and yesterday morning, men. wo
men, aud even children, were found iu a
state of beastly intoxication among tiie
sand-hills, aud* were removed as sood as
possible to their difleient home.-, where
thev were attended to, in Some eases stom
ach pumps having to he applied. These
are not the oulV disgraceful features con
nected with this wreck. FeveTcl females
(one of whom is respectably connected)
went down to look at the remnants of the
wreck. They soon became helpless, and
while in that state were treated in a most
foul and atrocious manner. One oi tnem
was found lying in tiie sand-hills quite
insensible, and in s'neh a state as to leave
little poubt that she had been shamefully
treated.
B£sp>, The House Committee on Flec
tions have agreed to report a bill provi
