LOCAL MATTERS.
Twiggs’ Academy
We are requested to state that there
will he an exhibition on Thursdaynight,
23d inst., at this Academy, by the pupils.
The exercises will consist of dialogues,
declamations, recitations, &c. The pub
lic are invited to attend.
This institution is under the superin
tendence of Mr. W. J. Burnside, and
we understand is in a flourishing condi
tion.
Summerville Academy,
This institution will open on the
second Monday in January next, un
der the supervision of S. W. Hatch,
A. M., Principal, assisted by a com
petent corps of Teachers. Mr. Hatch
has been very successful during the last
year, and the Academy, as now organ
ized presents facilities for all branches
of an education, possessed by very few,
if any, similar institutions in the State
Mr. Hatch is not only a thorough
scholar, but he is a thorough teacher,
and possesses those peculiar qualifica
tions requisite to success in imparting
knowledge. Any persons at distance
having children or wards to educate,
would find the Sand Hills a healthy and
delightful location, free from induce
ments to dissipation ; and in the family
of Mr. Hatch would secure for them
all the comforts and safeguards that
can he found outside the home circle.
Taffr* Patent Pence.
We have ex'amiued the fence on ex
hibition at LaTastb’s Drug Store, and
are highly pleased with it. It is easily
constructed, is cheap and as it is entire
ly above ground it is reasonable that
it would last much longer than the
common post and plank tence. It is
the very thing where a portable fence
is needed, and may be made under shel
ter, in wet weather when hands could
not he employed in the plantation.—
To a region where {economy in wood is
desirable, this fence possesses decided
advantages, and we refer our readers to
the advertisement of Mr. Lowrey agent
for the Patentee, in this paper.
On Moralities.
It is a sin to go to the theatre in Au
gusta—no sin to see Burton act Toodles
in Yew York.
It is a sin to listen to persons, male
and female, singing in the Theatre
right and proper to hear them in Ma
sonic Hall.
It is a sin to dance by the music of
the violin, but no sin to dance by the
piano, even tho’ played by Thalbkko.

Family Scene.
Family all gathered around a cosy
fire. Affectionate little daughter with
ear-ache, in deep reverie. “Mother”
says sire,” my ears have gone to, where
I have never been !”
“Where to, iny child,” asked the
fond mother.
“ To aching, (Aiken,) wa6 her reply.”
Mother locks with profound aston
ment at her precocious daughter.
Tlie Wanderer.
The Savannah papers contain reports
of the investigation of the charges
against Brown, Eajesta and Agnirvi who
were arrested as part of the crew of the
Wanderer.
On Saturday two witnesses were ex
amined, Dr. Hazelhurst, of Brunswick,
and Mabry, collector of the port of Da
rien whose testimony was unimpor
tant.
On yesterday the Yews says the case
was continued before the United States
Commissioner, Hon. Chas.* S. Henry.—
Only three witnesses were examined—
Capt. Stockwell, a pilot, Thos. Barnes
and Elisha Harris, all of Brunswick.—
Under the charging of the Court,that a
witness was not compelled to answer
questions tending directly or indirectly
to criminate himself, the latter gentle
man refused to answer certain questions
propounded to him by the prosecu
tion.
The prosecution nttornies stated to
the Court that the refusal of this wit
ness to answer, and the apprehension
( on their part that other witnesses would
also refuse on similar grounds, render
ed it necessary that the prosecution
should have further time for the pre
partiou of their case. They therefore
prayed that it be continued until some
future time, and the Court adjourned
to 11 o’clock to-day.

suing night he waked up and wanting
a chew of tobacco, he opened his box,
and by mistake, took out the hill and
“chewed” it up and spit it away to
nothing.

From the State Fress. Dec. IC th.
NAVAI. DEPOT.
A Word to the Georgia Delegation.
We trust it will not be deemed obtru
give for us to urge upon the attention
of our members in Congress a subject
that deeply concerns our State—we al
lude to the projected Naval Depot near 1
t Brunswick, in which every Georgian 1
1 and Southern man must and ought to
feel interested. It will be recollected
that more than two years ago, Mr. Dob
bin, who was then Secretary of the Na
vy, appointed a Board of Examiners to
report upon the best location for the es-!
: tahlishmentof such a Depot, between
the ports of Norfolk and Pensacola ;!
and after thorough investigation the
Board reported Blythe Island, in the vi
cinity of Brunswick, as being in all re
spects the mest suitable and desirable
point. Consequently at the session of
■ Congress 1856-57 (thanks to the zealous
and indefatigable exertions of Hon. Jas.
L. Seward, the Representative from our
first Congressional District) an appro- j
priation of $200,000 was made for that:
purpose. Os this sum a portion has!
. been used in purchasing the site; hut
since then, the Navy Department ap-:
pears to have forgotten it—our Con-!
■ gressmen have neglected it—a general
lethargy seems to have overspread it, j
i and unless an effort is made to break |
. this Rip Van Winkle slumber we ap
prehend the whole affair will he suffered
to remain in statu quo until the “crack
' of doom.” Therefore as a Georgian,
and the conductor of a Georgia journal,
having her welfare at heart, we feel it
our duty, and we are sure the citizens of
the State will sustain us, in making
1 this appeal to onr Representatives to i
act in this matter promptly, earnestly and
faithfully. Their constituents expect it ;
, of them, and it is incumbent upon
them to do it. The Government has
J already invested too much money in,
’ the proposed Depot to suffer it to remain |
■ idle. The question is asked, why is
; not the Act of Congress carried out ?
, Economy if no other consideration,;
t should cause additional appropriations j
to he made at once to carrry out the wo-k
already begun. Had this been a North
ern appropriation, tkX project would
long ago have been perfected; hut our,
Representatives content themselves with
* emitting gas about Southern rights,
t Southern interests and Southern equali
ty ; and then sleep upon their posts,
t suffering millions to go to the North
, without stretching forth their hands to
secure a beggarly pittance of a few
9 hundred,thousand dollars for the South.
5 The Northern people suck the marrow,
. and we grumble over the bones—they
j drink the pap and we lick the spoon—
the dollars and dimes are thrown into
their side of the scale, and our end
9 kicks the beam; These things ought
1 not to be. We might say more, but it
) is needless. Our Representatives are
, not ignorant of the importance of this
Depot not only to our own State, but
to the South, and, indeed, to the whole
country. Without, therefore, entering
. into an extended and unnecessary argu
-3 ment, we conclude with the earnest
5 hope, which will doubtless meet with a
response throughout the State, that im- j
: mediate and efficient action be taken in
. the premises. We deem it necessary 1
. merely to direct the attention of our i
Congressmen to this matter in order to,
secure the desired result.
P. S.—Since the above was written
: we have found the following resolution,
passed by the Legislature on Saturday,
the day of adjournment:
The rules were suspended aud Mr.
Stiles moved to take up and agree to a
House Resolution requesting aur Sena
ters and Representatives in Congress to
urge the early construction of a Navy
Yard on Blythe Island. Adopted.
.
Mount Vernon.— We see by tho re
port thus far made, concerning the
' purchase, that two hundred acres con
taining the home, tomb, &c., are sold
to the Association, and that $18,000:
were paid at the signing of the contract, j
The first instalment of $75,000, due in!
January, is ready for payment. Here!
then, is $75,000 of the purchase fund
already raised. The remaining sum of |
• $125,000 is still to come, and tlie public
i spirit of the nation should supply it by :
> tlie 22d of February next, the birthday
, of Washington.
Hoos.—The Lafayette Courier states
that tlie packing season at that point
has about closed, This time last year,
it had scarcely commenced, it says
“Only a few small lots arriving. We
iiear of a sale of extra large hogs at $5
90, which is rather above the market
j quotation. The ruling figure is $5 75,
3 for hogs of average weight. About 12,-
000 have been packed at this point,
which is an increase in numbers over
last year, but will fall short in the total
! weight."
Mrs. Cunningham.— A correspondent
1 of the Rochester Union writes from New
1 York that “Mrs. Cunningham, of Bur-!
' dell murder notoriety, and her twoj
- daughters are living in an elegant man
-3 sion in Twenty-third streets, and ap
parently in easy circumstances. They j
give parties occasionally, and "the head
of the family,” it is said, was visible at
> the opera the other evening. Augusta
. was married recently to a young South
ern planter, and Helen.it is understood,
J is in a fairway to follow the example."
