(Kbcrang JJisjMlcjL AUGUSTA, GA: Friday Evening, April 30,1858* A Family of Tlileve*. A very ingenious and successful plan of raising the wind was recently practi ced by a gang of strolling gypsies, in Cobb county, their victim being a widow lady in moderate circumstances, living a few miles from Marietta. The party consisted of two or three men, with women aud children in pro portion. They camped in the vicinity of Marietta, a portion of the party giv ing their attention to begging in town, while the balance prowled about in the country. One of the party—a dark sun-burned j wench, looking like a half-breed Indian —at length went to the house of a Mrs. Hanby, and represented herself as sent by the Indians who formerly inhabited the region, to get a mass of gold, buried iu a place near by. The unsus pecting lady, knowing that the Indians had formerly made the region a favorite haunt, became intensely interested in the talo of the mysterious looking stran ger, and entered at once into her plans for getting the treasure. Her scheme was characterized by the mummery and su perstitious movements peculiar to tlio Indian,and only served to heighten the confidence of the good lady in the strange adventuress. In the progress of the plan it became necessary for the gold hunter to have SI,OOO to use as a sort of enchantment for the hidden treasure, aud unless this sum could be ( had it was asserted that the whole , scheme would fail. The money was oh- , tained, Mrs. H. having a portion of it in ( the house, and the balance was borrow- ( *d from the neighbors—after which the mysterious looking gold-wizard took French leave of her new made friends, and is probably in the wild hunt forbu-. ried treasures in some other locality. The whole party came to Augusta a few days ago by the Georgia Railroad, and our City authorities were put oi track of them, since which time this :u ( teresting family party hue not veer heard of.

Tin ; occasion will probably he long rernern j bered in Philadelphia. For more than an hour before tire services commenced, | multitudes of people came pouring to j the portals of the hall, only to turn j away at finding every inch of space al J ready occupied. The narrow street al j the rear of the building was also filled i with people, many of whom waited in ' vain at the closed doom until long after 1 the services had begun. The text was taken from Ist Samuel, Ist chap., 27-28 verses : “ For this child 1 prayed, and the Lord hatli given me my petition which 1 asked of him. “ Therefore, also, I have lent him to the Lord ; as long as he liveth, he shall | be lent lothe Lord ” The reverend preacher gave, in his discourse, a sketch of the life of his son and of his last moments. A more affec ting sermon, perhaps, has never been delivered in Philadelphia. Tears flowed! in all parts of the house like summer rain ; yet with the exception of an oe j casional but suppressed hurst of grief! the speaker was unmoved, although his! heart was evidently agonized at his be-1 reavment.

The following is a recipe, “ after ye manner of ” Sir Isaac Newton, a Phil adelphia Quaker, [No. 246 Chesnut st.,) who, being asked how ho produced such a delicious article, replied : “ I buy the best Old Java, and keep on hand, the longer the better. I don't 1 burn it, but rather slowly roast it, all uniformly to the color of a ripe ches -1 nut. I then grind it very finely, and mix every particle of it with eggs, bro ken into it, shells and all—the mixing being best done with my wife's little hand. The purest water is added, and allowed to boil say two or three min utes, not longer, as the aroma, the very life of the coffee, flies away when boil j ing.” Then take off the fire, open the ! cover and stir the cratar down ; also, pour a half pint or so from the spout, and pour hack. After standing a little it is ready for use, clear as the best Ca tawba, rich and mellow as the rarest old Burgundy. Then the purest cream from my Delaware farm is placed iu the cup, and coffee gently “turned on.” Crys tal sugar to the taste.” Whoever is an admirer of the “Poe try of coffee,” as Mrs. Ellis might term Sir Isaac’s, let them adopt the above “rules and regulations,” in all particu lars, and they will have A No. 1 quality, as mild and mellow as is the serene countenance of friend Newton himself—as delicious as the charming notes of “Midsummer Night's Dream” floating over a garden of roses on a balmy evening in June—as unlike the burnt-to-death, boiled-to-death, muddy, i copperheadish-tasted compand in gen-:' eral use, as the silvery waters of Moos- 1 • head Lake, in contrast with the rilev j conglommeration of a seven by nine ! 1 duck pond.

Monday v/r.tair.H a iofcg article attempting to I prove that the banka of South Carolina ’ abooid, a* a matter of right and public 1 poJiry, continue in a state of suspension until the next crop shall havecome into I market. The article smells strongly of | the bank parlor, and to our mind is an • attempt to forestall public opinion in j the matter of an anticipated failure of ! the banks in that State to resume at the same time with neighboring institutions; | in other words to defend as a policy, a | course that is forced upon them by neces- , j sUy. If the banks of South Carolina are really unable to redeem their obliga tions to the public and to cope with the j hanks of her sister States in a fair ami 1 equal competition,it were more honest to 1 acknowledge at once the existcncies of « their condition and plead inability, than * to set up repudiation as an example,and defend it as a policy. We shall not attempt an answer to 1 the fallacious reasoning of the Mercury 1 for our own course is really determined, ( j and it will be answered full early in j their own experience. The principles ] I laid down arc general and not confined * to the Carolina banks; we wholly repu- 1 diate them so far as the banks of Geor- F gia arc concerned. The same argument { by which ourcoteinporary proves that a ' refusal to resume until the receipt of an- 1 other crop is right, would also justify a ' I suspension just at any time the banks 1 | may take it into tlieir heads that the ! public interests (which means in this - case their own convenience) demand it. | , Resumption is not, as alleged by the Mercury “ a mere matter of policy,Lav- 1 | ing in view the welfare and credit of the J community (to be judged of l»y the • I banks) no less than the profit of the | I banks.” It is a question of principle,of j the obligation of contracts,of good faith, ( i and of law. | When it shall be recognised as a sound | j principle in ethics and finance, that a { | man shall pay his debts only when it is , perfectly convenient for him to do so. | then will the argument of the Mercury , obtain ; but not until then. A portion of the M.rcury’s facts are quite as destructive as its reasoning. The ’ banks of Georgia are not “compelled” 1 to resumption at this time, against their J j inclinations, by the action of the State ! authorities.” There is no such vis a ter go j in their present movements ; to the | contrary the act of the General Assem bly authorizes them to continue in a state of suspension until the middle of November, the marked out by the Mercury as a proper one for resumption It is a voluntary act on their part, prompted by respect for tlieir obliga tions to the public, and for which they are fully prepared We regret that the 1 banks of our sister State are not anima- i l ted by similar principles, and are una- j j hie to find themselves in a like condi-1 j tion. -Sav.

Not that the Union needs saving particularly at this time, but be i cause it cannot be denied that there is . some hostility between sections of the people, both in the North and in the ■ South; and to correct this, to inspire ! the whole people with the feeling of [ union and mutual conciliation, is a work worthy of the elegant scholar, the silver voiced orator, the eminent states- j ■ man and the accomplished gentleman.” We apprehend that Mr. Everett has too much delicacy to aspire to the task of envangelizing the South on the sub ject of the Union. In his explorations of this section, he discovers what seems j to be so unintelligible to persons at a| distance, that the South is the Union, part of this country, that is, the Union] as our fathers formed it—with any oth-' er, even Mr. Everett could not persuade ] his countrymen to he content. Still, as we have already suggested, the North presents an inviting field for j Union eloquence, such as he alone can] deliver, and which he would he at liber j ty to employ without any imputation of indelicate interference or dictation.— ] Carolinian.
