That is our inflexi ble rule in all cases. Editorial Correspondence. Dawson, Ga., April 7. Railroad travel is not especially con ducive to amiability, and the dusty jos tle of a day and night is quite enough to distract the nerves and try the pa tience of a novice in travel by steam A lady on the train from Macon to this place afforded a painful and really piti ful illustration of the effect of such ex posure upon weak nerves and an un tamed temper. As the night wore away, and the monotonous rumbling of the train rolled its perpetual din upon her sensitive typanum, she grew more and more restless-turning from seat to seat, and from side to side, now jerk ing her comb from her dishevelled hair, | anon raising the window, and anon let- j ting it down with a furious whack ! as if she intended it to rise no more. Now she would ejaculate oh dear !—and then all around would raise their eyes rever ently as if to thank their stars that she was no dear of theirs—then she would prop up her sharp termigautish chin with her bejewelled fingers, and for a blessed moment preserve a refreshing calmness. Too good to la6t, this period of quiet would give place to the most extravagant and uncomfortable move-, ments. Now she would throw her feet upon the seat before her and then as suming a Turkish attitude, convert them into a cushion. At length hav-| ing overhauled every ribbon and pin, and moveable article about her person,, she dashed her feet upon the floor, and tearing off her shoes, deliberately flung j them out of the window ! This last demon stration seemed to appease the demon ( that raged within her, and she threw ( her head back upon the scat, and in five minutes was actually snoring!— When she woke up, she was Badly an- , noyed at the loss of her shoes, for it seems that she had no more with her, ] and, being near the end of her jour ney, had no spare money to spend for a ' new pair. To some of my fellow-travelers, the movements of this lady seemed highly amusing. To me they were anything else, for they were evidently beyond her control, and the result of a delicate nervous organization overtaxed by fa tigue and want of sleep, until her weak powere of self-control gave way to the nervous phenomena which I have de scribed. The extension of the railroad toward Cuthbert, past this place, does not yet seem to have effected the business inter ests here to a serious extent, and the merchants are very confident that trade will undergo no diminution. There is a scope of country between the Chicka sawhacheeand Ichawaynochaway which owing to bad roads and bridges, to other points, will find this the most accessi ble railroad outlet, during the winter months. The grocery trade of the place is quite heavy ; and is in the hands of Messrs. W elborn & Whitlock, John W. Wilson, Bunch & Kknnady, Wal ker & Simmons and J. B. Perry . In dry goods, the principle trade is done by Byrd, Kennedy & Co.; M. H. Baldwin ; Orr, Reed & Co., and Syl vester & Co. Dawson is a very orderly town, and is regularly laid off on a pleasant swell of land, about a quarter of a mile from the depot. There is one church, which is jointly occupied by the Methodist and Baptist denominations. Ciops through this section are rather backward, but the Btand of corn and sotton is good. I have seen a number of fields in which the corn is over knee high. Cotton is very small, but appears to be in a healthy, growing condition. Wheat is poor, and its cultivation has been almost abandoned in Southern Georgia. As I have recently visited this place, and given our readers a sketch of it, I can find but little local gossip of in terest to them, therefore 1 may as well wind up. S. A. A.

St. Johns, N. 8., May 10.—In addi- 1 tion to the news telegraphed last night we send you the following : A dispatch from Paris, dated on Sat urday, 30th of April, says : “The Austrian troops have crossed the Ticino, and commenced hostilities. This is official and reliable.” At London, on Saturday,Consols were ; quoted at 89. It was announced that Austria had j . issued a manifesto which was tanta mount to a declaration of war ; and it ■ | had been previously asserted that she , had advanced her posts, and crossed in-1 ; to Sardinia, and that the main body i would do so on the 29th of April. The King of Sardinia had gone to | join his army at Allessandria. The Tuscan army had. called on the; Grand Duke to join France in Piedmout ■ and declare war against Austria. The : Grand Duke declined, and fled. P Tuscany has declared in favor of a military dictatorship. The latest intelligence from France I ! reports that the greatest activity in military and naval preparations con tinues throughout the Empire. Eighty thousand French troops were expected to be in Italy by the _3oth of April. It was reported that Denmark and France had concluded an offensive and defensive treaty. The Paris Bourse had been greatly ex cited, but less so than the London Ex change. On the 27th ult., the French funds declined one per cent , but im proved half per cent, on the 28th, clos ing at 62 70. Warlike preparations are in progress throughout England* and great activity prevails at Woolwich—the great arsenal depot of England. Several English steamers have been chartered to convey troops and muni tions of war to the Mediterranean. Rumors were current of a forthcom ing proclamation to augment the navy by ten thousand men. War premiums were generally de manded at Lloyd's. The Parliamentary elections were pro gressing quietly. The panic at London has been very great. Consols have fluctuated exces sively. The ship Pomona, from Liverpool for New York, was wrecked off Wexford, on the 17th April, with four hundred persons on board. The loss of life is unknown. Additional Commercial. Liverpool circulars, by the Adelaide, report the flour market buoyant, at ad vanced prices. Wheat very active,with , a large speculative demand, and impro ved rates.
