Newspaper Page Text©jfiffif Dispatch. 55 O’CLOCK. P. M. DEC, 10,183 H. Notice to Advertiser*. Advertisements for the Evening Dispatch must be tiuaged in by eleven o'clock in the forenoon , in or the same day. LOCAL MATTERS. Theatre—Colter, Hall. AVe are pleased to announce tbc re turn of Mr. Neafie and tlie rest ><f the theatrical company, from a Irief en gagement in Atlanta. They will appear to-night in the pieces announced for: last evening, and as we at last have clear, delightful weather, there will no doubt be a good turn out. The per formance will commence with the great play of Dm Caxar De Bazan , in which Mr. Neafje will personate his celebrated character of Don Caesar, and conclude with Sketches in fndia , in which piece Miss Anna Cruise will make her first: appearance in Augusta. —■• ■ The Africans. The Constitutionalist is mum this morn- j ing on the arrival of a cargo of Africans at our very door. The Chronicle is op posed to the movement, and says that “if there exist on the statute books any laws, which protect the Southern States against this traffic, they should be en forced most rigidly against all viola tions.” That is exactly what nearly all the papers North will say—but wej cannot see why the South should not be ’ permitted to get laborers from the jungles and barracoons of Africa, so long as our Northern Slates are import ing them from every quarter of Europe —for in truth, the condition of the African is quite as certain to be im proved as that of the European immi grant. "We are in favor of obedience to the law's, ami would not advocate or defend their violation, if there were any possi ble chance of getting justice under the law. But wo do rejoice that the ques tion has been put to a test here, that our people may be made familiar with the workings of the system. England and France are evading the laws against the slave trade by a trafic much more bar barous in the introduction of Coolies and apprentices. We cannot evade it in the same way, with safety to our present system. Must we stand idly by and see them fill up their avenues of industry by the evasion of an absurd law, while we tamely submit to it.— Rather let us force popular sentiment to such a change as will wipe the re proachful law from the statute book It wo believed it wrong to get these people from Africa, we should certainly have conscientious scruples about own ing a slave, for they were all obtained in the same way, and a flimsy statute does not alter a moral law. But this question has been fully discussed in our columns, and we only refer to it, to put our neighbors fairly on the re cord. It may be useful for reference hereafter. A Suggestive Scene, Ned Catauxk, a gentleman of color, who boasts of his pure ancestry, dating hack to one Catiline of Roman fame, hut bitterly denies being related to one Cato'nine who dwells in the dominions of Neptune, though lie acknowledges hav ing been made acquainted with him, but whose acquaintance he cut, is inclined to be a hit of a buck among the girls. He is not blessed with a remarkably handsome personnel. He has, however, paid considerable attention to “wool" raising, and unlike “poor uncle Ned,” he has the capilliarv substance vegeta ting on his caput, and sports a massive imperial. Ned, becoming disgusted with the world in general, and thefemalesex in particular, determined to retire from society. At an assemblage of cbon-hued cherubs, encased in crinoline, he an nounced this determination, and much to his surprise and astonishment, not one of the dear creatures fainted. One of them, the amiable and lovely Miss Sukey Snowball, commenced humming, “ oh that will be joyful—joyful.” Twe or three days afterwards, Ned received a beautifully done up package, labelled, “presented to Ned Cataline, Esq., on his retirement from society, by his col ored female friends.” On opening it, Ned discovered a cleverly drawn picture of the supposed—or mpst probable —scene attendant upon his retirement. The fair artist imagined that there was no space in the city for the imposing ceremony, and so located the scene on the common, where Ned was portrayed as being attended by high public func tionaries, and standing on an elevated position. One of the public functiona ries was represented as very anxious to assist Ned in carrying his design into ef fect, by adjusting areund his neck a col lar of hemp, which would give hi hi such an impetus out of society that he would not find the way hack. Ned thought the “execution” portrayed would be too “capital” for him, and being naturally egotistical, he disdained the idea of calling such assistance into requisition, and forebore to carry his de termination immediately into eofect. He has since retired from society, for he retired from the la6t tangle-foot dance, jU one of the suburban dess, on a chatter. There is a large hog in New Bruns wick which is to be “guesiied for " on Christmas day. The hog is to be weigh - ed alive, and the person guessing the nearest to its weight gets the hog. The cost of “a guess” sl. We guess they won’t all get it. The Governor has appointed, Dr. Tomliuson Fort, Col. DavidC. Campbell and Col- Miller Grieve, Sr., Trustees of the Lunatic Asylum, for the two years next ensuing. 1. ~Uy.ruUASwi,iite A - To Mrs. H. C. BY JFNNY WOODWNE. My fuitbt il lyre woriid Wake for thee The sweetest Strain that e'er it knew ; j Well may it pour its minstrelsy For one gentle, kiud and true. Thy life Is like the sunshine warm, ; Ii gladdens eVery living thing, And to each lowly grief-bowed form Borne word of comfort thou dost bring. 1 ve heard the widow bless thy camo. I’ve heard the orphan praise thee too— Ah ! this is richer meed of fame 9 Than ever far-famed conqueror knew. , Their blessings hover round tlice now. With grateful words thy name they breathe ; j Their prayers are weaving for thy brow A brighter crown than laurel wreath. j I love thee for thy gentleness. 11 Tliy heart so faithful, fond and true * , Thy sympathy with all distres- And for thy quiet goodness too. On earth there are not many such, '| My gentle, constant friend, as tnou— i I feci hwould grieve my heart too much To breathe a farewell to thee now. 1 May brightest flowers around thee bloom While thou art wandering below ; May sweetest joys disperse thy gloom, And rnay’st thou never taste of woe. May ne’er a cloud thy voyage mar While thou art floating down life’s tide ; May love beam o'er thee like a star, And some fond angel be thy guide. > An l should we part, my thoughts will rove To thee, and cluster ’round tby home ; I'll waft to thee my spirit's love, Although afar my feet may roam. And oh ! where’er thy footsteps bend, > And wheresoe’er on earth thou art . Remember me, for, dearest friend, Thou hast a home within ray heart. Avgusta Ga . December, 1858. : i Our Mlllcdgevllle Reporter. ! ! We have received the letter of our ; | faithful csrrespondent, giving a .very ’ spicy account of the closing incidents jof the session, the witty speeches, : quaint conceits, and eccentricities, peeu- 21 liar to such occasions—but it would fill •! so much space, and is now so stale, that -1 we omit all save the beautiful closing | address of the President of the Senate. 3 In response to the usual resolution of ] thanks to the President of the Senate, . \ Mr. Guerby arose and spoke as follows : 2 j Senators : —We have well nigh reach ed tlie termination of our labors, and '! the hour of separation is at hand. In r the conflict of opinion, iu the heat of e tierce debate, through which you have 1 just past, tis hut natural that irritation e and ill feeling should have been some _ times engendered. But now. that the conflict of opinion is over, the war of ' words is at an end, the gentler sent! t meats of the heart have resumed their r wonted sway, and in their mild and ge , nial presence, the demon of discord is i *' or - Vcr hushed. Tlie grave responsi bilities of the Senator are merged in > the tender sensibilities of the friend - and brother, about to be separated, per t haps forever. lam no stranger to the „ circumstances that now surround us. I have witnessed more than one final adjournment of the Legislature. I have i been more than once oppressed with the ~ sadness of the closing scene. But, gen tlemen, never before have such unusual melancholy, such tumultous emotions, 1 weighed upon my spirits as to-night. In pursuance of a fixed determination - some time since formed, this hour, this , occasion, closes my public career. To night I take a final leave of this vener -1 able hall, these cherished friends; but, wherever I may go, whatever fortune 2 may befall me, I shall ever recur, with mournful pleasure, to the associations, friendships and memories of the session now about to close. And in this, my parting address, gentlemen, I owe it to ’ you, I owe it to myself, to say that if at any time, in an unguarded moment, 1 i have been Betrayed into an unamiahle i petulance, if I have, at any time, wound s ed the feelings of any member upon the . floor, it was not meditated ; it was not . wilful, and I now crave his generous forgiveness. At the same time, allow me to tender my grateful acknowledge ment for the uniform kindness and / courtesy extended me, by all, in any way officially connected with this body. You have been pleased in your resolu , tions, to speak in complimentary terms of my humble services as your presid ing officer. I have only to say that I e have, to the best of my poor abilities , endeavored to deserve them by an im partial and faithful discharge of its dif ' licalt and delicate trusts. Tohavemer -1 ited your approval, is tlie full gratitica 1 tion of my highest ambition. Accept, - gentlemen, the thanks of a warm, full , heart. And now, Senators, companions, , friends, farewell. ,j We cannot refrain from expressing our thanks to our talented young friend, who has labored so zealously and so suc ’ cessfully, to give us a prompt and faith j ful report of the proceedings of the General Assembly. He evidently has a ’ fort for the business, and we trust we may be fortunate enough to secure his services, on similar occasions hereafter. 2 Slatxery in Alabama,—;onb, a slave . belonging to Senator Fitzpatrick, brought his cotton crop to Wetumpka ' on last Saturday, and sold it to Bryan ’ & Carter for one hundred and sixty dol f larsiE clean cash. This case makes a i very ipretty contrast to the one report -1 ed in tire New York papers, where thousands of women and children gath . ered together to seek broad where there was ne bread. This is .loab’s spending • money ; there is no need of his laying > up for old age and decrepitude.
