Loraeat Dally Circulation In the State :
Killtortnl \oles By the Way.
Macon, June IG, ISo9.
There is a continuous march oi im
provement manifest in this city. New
stores and residences are going up on
every hand, a new cotton warehouse has
just been commenced by Mr. Dickinson,
and other important enterprises are on
foot. Brown, the enterprising proprie
tor of Brown’s Hotel, intends erecting
an addition to his house of the same
size and shape as the present beautiful
structure. This will give him 100 more
rooms, and render his hotel the largest
in the South, as it is one of the best.—
Under the Superintendence of his son
in-law, Mr. M. B. Petf.bs, everything is
undergoing a thorough overhauling; at
the table I found all the staples of the
country, and delicious fish, turtle soup,
and pastry and fruits in great variety.
Then the hotel is so convenleut-no
omnibus—no trouble about baggage ;
porters are waiting with neat labels on
their hats—to take charge of it without
noise or bustle. In short, the admira
ble depot and hotel arrangements al
ways put me in a good humor with Ma
con, and I only regret that business
calls me away so soon on a flying “in
cursion" into Alabama. A.

Passengers reaching Cutlibert to break
fast, take the stage for this place at
about nine o’clock, and arrive at half
past four, P. M., a distance of 27 miles
At the halfway stand a hack connects
with this line for Fort Gaines, which is
situated 25 miles down the river. Ta
king the speed on this line as a basis,
our readers can cypher up the hour of
arrival at that locality.
Georgetown, the new county site of
Quitman county, occupies an elevated
site on the East Bank of the Chattahoc
chee. and is likely to become a town of
considerable business. It already has
several good business houses, and two
or three energetic young attorneys.
Crops are very backward, and on the
uplands they have been injured serious
Jy by the drought and recent cool nights.
Corn in many fields is tassling, but
iooks slender and puny. Cotton is also
small. I have strained my eyes over
hundreds of acres to-day, bordering the
stage road, and only two or three blooms
met my eye. The weed averages about
six inches in height. The Btaud appears
good, and since the rains of the last
few days, it isgrowiDg rapidly, and with
no further calamity a fine crop may yet
be made in this section. On the rivers
and bottom, crops have not suffered
much for rain, and are of course much
larger and more thrifty than on the up
lands above noted. n

*» Poor tout Honest Parent*.”
How often do we see this expression
harped on, not only in writing, but even
in conversation. A cotemporary has
an article on this too frequent expres
sion which is used in biography-'‘He
was born of poor but honest parents!
Bah 1 we wonder what knave first coined
the expression. Had he been born of
rich parents would he consequently have
been honest ? We hope never again to
notice such an abominable conjunction '
of words in any American hook. Leave
such slavish aphorisms to countri. 3,
where poverty and guilt are held by ty
rants to be synonymous.”

Among the distinguished arrivals in
this city lately, says the Boston Herald,
I s that of the eccentric Capt. L Riviere
whose valor in the service of King Cu
pid in this country is almost as note
worthy as the deeds of his brave com
patriots at Palestro, when they scaled
Austrian rapiparts, and tumbled four
hundred men, like so many frightened
sheep, into a ditch. The gallant Cap
tain has, by a singular coincidence, ar
rived here almost simultaneously with
the company with whom the newspa
pers reported he was recently show’-
ing his attentions to in a Southern
city.
1 [The captain’s exploits a»e only to be
equalled by his brass. To think of his
showing himself in the sanctified city of J
Boston with his Aiken harem ! Verily, I
he is a wonderful man and extorts our j
admiration !)
Ihe Newport, R. 1., News says,
Ihat the harbor of that city, so celebra
ted both for its ready accessibility at all
times, and its security of anchorage, is
gradually filling up. The cause of this
the News attributes to the wash of the
streets through the sewers, and the'
throw overboard of ashes and cinders
from the vessels in port.

Merrhunt Princes of Vilv York,
Alexander T. Stewart, the enterpris
ing founder of the mammoth dry goods
house, so well known over the United
States, is a remarkable man. Born in
the neighborhood of Belfast, of Scotch
Irish parentage, he came to the United
States when quite young, and early ex
hibited an aptitude for commercial pur
suits. In his youth he had received a
good education, with careful parental
discipline. New York being an impor
tant commercial city, seemed to be a
suitable field for the exercise of his
abilities. With unremitted industry
and skill, in his pursuit, he soon began
to evince symptoms of progress and
prosperity. He early introduced the
cash system in both buying and selling,
and was thus enabled to sell at compara
tively low rates ; which attracted the
best cash custom of the town. He also
banished all “bantering” and “Jewing”
from his premises. Ouce his goods
were marked, the laws of the Medes
and Persians were not more fixed than
, were his prices. This rule saved time,
both to customers and clerks ; because
when the price was announced nothing
more was to be said. If they suited,
■ the goods were taken, and if not, they
. ,vere left behind. His business contin
. ne( ] to prosper, and as he bought and
sold almost exclusively for cash, no re
-3 vnlsions, hard times, or good times,
i seemed to make any material difference
in his business. Hih house at present,
taken in all its branches of “wholesale”
and “retail,” is probably the largest es
tablishment of the kind in the world.
The four story marble palace which he
occupies for a store, with recent addi
tions, covers an immense plat of ground
extending on Broadway, from Cham
beis to Read streets, and in the rear, on
Chambers and Read streets, for over 100
feet. He employs a large number of
persons. He has a carpet and uphol
stery department, where, in addition to
a considerable force of clerks, he em
ploys a large number of females, en
gaged in sewing carpets which he has
laid down in houses for purchasers at
eight cents per yard. He also employs
a number of upholsterers, who fit up
whole dwellings in any style or degree
of splendor that may be required. He
sells lace curtains at from $G to $l5O,
and up to SSOO per window if required.
His silk department is at all times mag
aificent; the styles are always new and
' i of the most attractive collors and pat
terns, bought for cash on the Continent,
- and imported direct. Moir antiques of
every style and richness are displayed.
A lady can suit herself in a dress vary
ing in cost at from $25 up to $l6O, and
upwards to fabulous 'figures. Shawls
and ruantilJas of every material, from
cheap patterns up to the most fabulous
prices, are displayed in great profusion.
Crcesus could have rigged his whole
family in such a place, surpassing in
richness and splendor all that Persian
manufacturers and dyers could have
ever reached. The capital employed in
the house is estimated -at $2,000,000,
and the annual sales at about $7,000.-
000. Mr, Stewart’s wealth is estimated
at between $7,000,000 and $12,000,000.
Mr. Stewart is a married man, but,
unfortunately, without children. Ilis
whole time is given up to business,
which requires a cool, clear ffnd calcula
ting head. But he has reduced it to
1 such a complete system, that he often
appears like a man of leisure looking
round his premises. Mr. Stewait is a
plain looking, well dressed, but not
foppishly dressed man, always neat,
without being “a dandy,” of about five
feet ten inches in height, of light, san
dy colored hair and whiskers, and me
dium light, quick and expressive blue
eyes, though older, looks not over forty
five to fifty years of age. He is always
gentlemanly and agreeable in his man
ners, and often distinguished for great
liberality in his donations. Such a naan
is an acquisition and an honor to the
city and country of his adoption.— N.

Georgia Court—Rich Stjene.
After a well known Georgia Solicitor
General had administered the usual
oath to the grand and petit juries and
bailiffs, he turped to the presiding
Judge, and remarked:
Sol. —May it please your Honor, I do
not remember any form of oath to be
administered to the lobby bailiff’s, but
by your permission, I think I can frame
one, that will be satisfactory to the
Court.
Judge.—Proceed Mr. Solicitor.
Sol. Gen’l.—Put your hand on the
book. Whereupon a tall, lean, vine
gar-faced son of Anakes stepped up and
promptly grabbed the book
Sol.— You do solemnly swear, in pres
ence of this Court, and us lawyers, that
you will take your position in the lob
by, and there remain with your eyes
skinned, during the entire sessions of
this Court. That you will not suffer
any one to sbeak above a low whisper,
and if any one shall dare do so in pres
enceof your royal highness you will
vociferously exclaim, “Silence in the
, lobby !” and if order is not immediate
ly restored’ you further swear that you
will, by one ponderous blow of your
fists, planted between the peepers of
the offender, knock him down. All of
this you will do to the best of your skill
and knowledge, so help you God.
j The bailiff took the position assigned
j him, and immediately after the Court
was organized, Tom Diggers, who look
ed as green as young gourds, walked
into the room wearing brogans No. 11,
and his hands thrust deep in his pock
ets, and enquired,
“ Hello fellows, where in the thunder
is Jim Snellins?”
“ Silence in the lobby!” roared the
outraged official.

Adventure* of a Morning-Gown.
A lady was anxious to make her hus
band a present on the occasion of his
birthday ; and as it happened to (all in
winter, aud at that time in a very se
vere winter, she thought a comfortable
I inorning-gown would be a most use
ful acquisition to his domestic com
■ forts. So she went to a shop and pnr
i chased a fine Pcrisian pattern merino
I and well-wadded morning-gown. She
- had forgotten the exact height of her
1 husband; but, to make sure of its use
-5 fulness, she thought best to purchase
one father too long than too short. The
* day was rather wet ; her husband re
1 turned in the afternoon from his office,
3 and she presented him with the new ar
i tide of coinfoit; and he fancied it agreat
comfort after he had put off his wet
s clothes. But it was too long- about
i ten inches too long. “Oh, never mind,
my dear,” said the affectionate- wife, “I
* can shorten it to suit you.” They had
1 a party in the evening ; they were very
! merry. After they had gone to bed,
the wind was making such a noise, and
; the rain so dashing against the window,
’ that the lady could not sleep ; the bus
-1 band, however, slept soundly. She rose
without disturbing him—took the mor- i
j ning-gown, and commenced her work ;
' cut off about the lengfh of ten inches,
to make it suit the husband s stature— |
■ j and then went to bed again.
! She had to rise early next morning.
; The husband slept well, which is fre- j
quently the case after a merry evening
’ j party. Scarcely had the good lady left
■ i tjva, room, when a sister—a good-na
: iA«red, elderly lady, who lived with
' them-stole into the room, upon tip—
* toe, in order not to disturb her brother
in-law, and took the morning-gown.—
1 Hastening to her room, she cut off ten
J inches, as she knew on the previous
‘ liight that it was too long for him. An
hour after, the master awoke, and was j
3 now anxious to surprise his affectionate
wife. He rang the bell; his servant
came up and asked his pleasure ; upon
® which he requested her to wrap up the
* morning gown and cany it to his tailor
’ to make it shorter by ten inches.—
3 Scarcely was the morning-gown return-
B ed from the tailor when the good wife
e i stepped in. The husband had just risen,
’ and proposed now to surprise his wife
* and enjoy his comfort. But how sur
prised was iiis better half too see her
' husband in a fine Persian pattern merino
shooting-jacket instead of a comforta
j.: ble morning gown.
The New House of Representatives.
| —The new Hall of Representatives is
5 all alive to-day with workmen, some
, ! engaged in taking up flooring and lay
-5 ing masonry and piping for increased
heating facilities, and some making pre-
Jparations for the substitution of sofas
ij for the arm chairs and desks heretofore
) used by the members. It will be re
> memhered that the House of Represen
i t atives, last session, voted to do away i
with sin -le chairs and desks, and adopt
- the English parliamentary style of ad-
I vancing to a table in the centre of the
room whenever a member may need
, pen and ink facilities—a change which
d it is supposed will advance business,
since the members will be obliged to
sit bold, upright, and attend to the
) work of the hour. Instead of writing
i letters, franking documents, as hereto
r fore. The arm-chairs and desks have
t not been sold, but have been cosily piled
t away in the basement, so that in case
the change proves unpalatable to the
e members there is nothing more to be
done than order a restitution.— Star.

Alleged Swindler.—A person calling i
himself E L. Scott has been operating
pretty extensively in our vicinity ot
late, said operations being founded on a .
metalic basis, said basis being brass,
and plenty of it. About two weeks ago 1
heffirst took up his abode with us, and I
representing himself to one of our cler
gymen. as a Methodist preacher in sore (
pecuniary tribulation, stuck him to the
tune of $lO. He next bought out the 1
plantation of Mr. Miles Owen, on the 1
Memphis and Charleston Railroad, eigh
teen miles out of town, for $20,000
. cash to be paid at a certain date. Next .
■ thing that entered his prolific brain was
■ a matrimonial alliance, which was at
once consummated. Then he took it
into his head to embark in the steam 1
boat business, and bought out the J. G.
Cline tox $12,000, engaged clerks, i
bought wines, &c., &c., and wound up
night before last by evacuating the
town, with bills unpaid, boat unpaid
for. farm uupaid for, and lady love dis
consolate. Mr. Scott is informed that
numbers of his friends at this place are
anxious to see him, and the press of
other cities is requested to pass the gen
tlernan around. He is about thirty live
tears of age, tall, slim, not very good
looking, and dresses in black. —Memphis

Additional Interesting Details by the
Anglo-Saxon.
New York, June 20. Additional in
teresting details of foreign news, re
; ceived by the Anglo Saxon at Quebec,
; j are appended.
It appears that on the 4th of May,
1 the French crossed the Ticino, at Tuc
bico. The Emperor, in a dispatch to
Paris, says the passage over the river
was well executed, though the enemy
were present in great force, and offered
determined resistance. During two
hours, and unsupported,lmperial Guard
sustained the shock of the enemy. In
the meantime, Gen. McMahon took pos
session of the town of Mogenta. After
several sanguinary conflicts, the enemy
were successfully repulsed.
It is stated that the Austrians, in
their precipitation in evacuating Milan
left a large portion of their cannon and
treasure behind.
The Emperor, in his dispatch, further
says, that the French Sardinian forces
had taken twelve thousand stand of
Austrian muskets.
The municipality of Milan had pre
sented a congratulatory address to Vic
tor Emanuel, in the presence of the
Emperor of the French. The King, it
was announced, would enter Milan on
Tuesday.
The Austrian official bulletin says the
conflict was very desperate between the
first and third corps and the enemy,
which latter was in considerable force.
The contest was undecided, and contin
ued until Sunday. Our troops threw
themselves on the enemy with ardor
and perseverance worthy of the arms
of the most glorious feat of the Impe
rial army.
A Vienna dispatch in the Frankfort
; papers says ti at through the opportune
arrival of Count Clam Gallas - corps, the
Austrians were victorious after a hot
fight, and the French were compelled to
retreat back over the Ticino river.
The London Times says there had
been severe fighting at Buffalora, with
changing successes, and that the battle
continued until late at night, and ope
rations were resumed the next day at
Magenta. Five Austrian corps were
finally engaged. In the afternoon the
Austrians took a flank position between
Abbiatc Crasso and Bimasco.
The Times says, editorially, that the
fight appearsgto be undecided, |but the
French seem to have the best of it, and
in the ab ence of late telegraphic intel
ligence via Paris, the indications are
not favorable of French successes.
The London Advertiser says, it is ru
mored that government dispatches have
been received from the British Minister
at Vienna, announcing an Austrian vic
tory.
The opinion is strengthening in London
that the French were defeated,although
the rapid movements of the allies,across
the Ticino, compelled the Austrians to
j accept the battle.
The Emperor Napoleon was present
at the battle, but did not take the com
! mand.
Marshal Yalliant has been surpcrce
ded by Marshal Raudon ; and General
Horewra has been appointed provision
ally Minister of War.
General Neill and Count McMahon
are reported to have been woutided in
the late battle.
Gen Garribaldi, it is reported, has
left Lecco, and D’Urban has retreated
to Monza, where Garibaldi, it is believ
ed, is on the way to.
In the British Parliament, Mr. D’ls
raeli has announced that the reform
question will be postponed until the
next session.
The foreign policy of the English
government will be for peace.
Kossuth was announced to leave Eng
land on the 7th of May, for Italy, with
three hundred of his countrymen, who
had returned from the United States.
It was much feared that the Fiench
crops had been damaged by the prevail
ing rains.
Baron Gortschakoff had issued a cir
cular to the envoys of Russia, at all the
Courts of Germany, declaring that if
Germany aided Austria, the political
equilibrium o; Europe would be destroy
ed.
Dispatches from Darmstadt say that
the President, and both branches of the
legislature, had made speeches in favor
of war against Napoleon.
