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. More Anon. $ Family Scene. Family all gathered around a cosy fire.

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. (HP Geo. D. Prentice was announced tolecture in Columbus last night. Astonishing Feat—A Warning to To bacco Cbewers.—The Memphis Eagle & Enquirer tells of a farmer who sold a yoke of oxen for a SSO bill. He put the bill in liis tobacco box, and the en 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.

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."
