CORE TO ME IN DREAMS.
by oEOßiig v. nturm-
Come in beautiful dreams, love.
Oh ! come to me oft,
IVbon the light wings of sleep
On my bosom lie soft;
Oh ! come when the sea
In tho moon's gentle light,
Beats low on the ear
Like the pulse of the night—
When the sky and the wave
Wear their loveliest blue,
When the dew’s on tho flower
And the star’s on the dew.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh! come and we’l! stray,
Where the whole year is crowned
With the blossoms/of May,-
Where each sound is as sweet
As the coo of the dove,
And the gales are as soli
As tho breathings of love ;
Whore the beams kiss the waves,
And the waves kiss the beach.
And our warm lips may catch
The sweet lessons they teach.
Lome in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh 1 come and we’ll flv
Like two winged spirits
Os love through the sky;
With hand clasped in hand
On dream-wings we'll go,
Where the starlight and moonlight
Are Wending their glow ;
And on bright clouds we’ll linger
Through long dreamy hours,
Till love’s angels envy
That heaven of ours.
Savannah Internal Improvements.
We take lire following extracts front a letter
dated “Soutli Western Georgia, Jan. 24,”
which appears in the New York Express:
Great confidence seems to be felt in whatever
Georgia lays her hand to. I have often heard
it wondered how the citizens of Georgia had
succeeded so in building railroads, keeping out ;
of debt, and making their roads pav well.
Great caution and prudence were observed
in requiring a good liberal bona fide subscription |
before starting, rather than relying on “finan- j
t iering,’’ or selling bonds of the company at a j
ruinous discount; and then the most watchful i
economy in the expenditures of the money ; I
this characterized the early beginning and pro- j
gress of Georgia railroads,
Such tilings are not perhaps generally looked I
for “down South,” but it lias been trim of the]
past, contrary practice even now, with the Cali- •
imuia and \ustralian mines showering gold, ;
would be one more honored iti the breach titan
the observance.
The first great private enterprise, the building
ol'tlie Central Road. 190 miles long, was com
menced in 1831 when the times were hard and
money scarce. Vt the time of its completion,
it was the longest single road in the I nited i
.States ; it has been a sort of model or example j
for others. The prrsom lof this road had much !
to do with its success. As exhibiting this .and
showing with what caution and economy he j
proceeded, 1 may state that William Vv. (tor- ;
don, Esq., a distinguished member of the Savan- j
nab bar, at tho time a member of the State Sen
ate possessing largely the public confidence, n
most practical thorough-going man, was elec
ted President. Mr. Gordon applied to a gen- J
tleman of high reputation at the North, as Civil ]
Engineer, to survey and locate the road : his
salary 1 think, was to he 8(1000 a year. He j
came, and very unexpectedly brought with him !
some twenty assistant engineers. Harnessing !
six mules to a carriage, with his champagne
baskets up behind, he proceeded to place some i
half dozen corps in the field. The cautious j
and astute President looked on in utter constern- j
ation, and finally said to him, “Sir, you have j
mistaken us entirely, wo are poor, we look to!
our subscribers through the country to do the f
grading, or to contribute the means for it, they ]
may be able, while \vc hope to raise as much :
money from tho citizens of Savannah as will j
enable us to buy the iron, and erect the super- j
structure; hut we cannot afford the expense of!
your numerous corps of engineers for a single;
year,” The result was that they were paid otf, 1
the matter satisfactorily arranged, and they left i
the work.
Among the assistant engineers was F. P. Hoi- j
comb, ayoung man barely at majority, hut with j
considerable experience, and had attracted the
attention of Mr. Gordon, nnd .Mr. L. O. Rey
nolds, the latter now the able and efficient Pres
ident of the South Western road, it was arrang
ed that Mr. Rey nolds should take the chiefship,
and he gave to Mr. Holcomb the location of the
road. Upwards of four years were occupied by ]
him with his single small corps in this survey,]
the road passing through a country of difficult j
topography, a great part of it a wilderness, and j
intersected by immense swamps, the corpse liv- ;
ing in their tents summer and winter, sleeping ]
on their blankets in the absence of mattresses ]
and tho annual expense of the whole engaged |
probably equaling the salary of the former ;
Chief Engineer. 1 may remark, as showing the I
good judgment of Messrs. Gordon and Reynolds, I
that from the admirable location Mr. Holcomb
was universally conceded to have made of this |
toad, he was recommended by tho Chevalier
Bodisco, the Russian Minister, to his govern-:
ment, as an engineer of high capacity arid es- j
tablished reputation. Mr. H. did not go to ;
Russia, but has since located the Sonth-Wes- ]
tern, the Columbus branch, the Waynesboro* j
and Augusta, and is now engaged with his corps ]
in a preliminary survey of the Savannah and i
Pensacola road: These roads all have connec j
1 tion with the Central, in most of them it is direc
tly interested; their length when completed,
including the Central will be somo 700 miles.
Among the early employers of tho Central
Railroad, iu a very subordinate capacity, was
W.M Wodley, whose talents and great business ]
! energies were discovered, and who became su
perintendent of the road, managing it and its
great freight business with an efficiency and
success unsurpassed. He is now managing
the State Road, under an Executive appoint
ment from Gov. Cobb ; the poor mechanic hoy
I may now be said to be the “Railroad King” of
Georgia. He is the same gentleman to whom
your citizen G. B. Lamar, Esq., recently ad
dressed a letter through the public press, as the
prominent internal improvement man of this
State, on the subject of the calorio engine.
Mr. Gordon, who died before the completion
of this road, and to whoso memory Savannah
should erect a statute, since he started her for
a growth and commercial importance that will
be unrivalled in the South, was succeeded by R.
R. Cuyler, Esq., who, to fine financial talents,
joins that of industry, order care and attention
to busiuess, so necessary in a good executive
officer. The annual receipts of the road under
• his administration have reached one million of j
i dollars : tho stockholders are receiving eight ]
per cent, dividend, with a handsome surplus or,
hand—the stock being above par, the road out j
■ of debt, and its receipts annually increasing.-- ]
■ The system of check and accountability is the j
1 most perfect I have ever seen, full reports in
writing being required of each conductor of
| every day’s operations.
j So much for the personel, and 1 have dwelt!
tho more upon this subject because it has, pro- j
bably, generally as much to do with tho success j
of railroad enterprise as the character and ca- i
■ pacify of the general and officers of an army j
j have to do with the success of military cam- j
j paigtts.
The Savannah toad starts under favorable
i auspices. Dr. Screven, a man of large wealth, ;
a citizen ofSavnntiah, is devoting his fortune to
: the great enterprise, and he is strongly eo-opera
j ted with by the merchants and others of Savan
; tiah, and a large amount of stock has already
! been subscribed. But the immediate destina
! tion should he Pensacola, then while greatly
i benefiting Georgia and Florida, it will partake
I in the objects it will accomplish of that national
! character that will make it one of interest to the
! whole country
Charleston—ll; V. t* Willis.
We copy from that most readable of newspa
pers, the Home Journal, a brief sketch of j
j Charleston, by Mr. VV ilhs, one of its Editors, j
| during a Southern tour for the benefit of his i
! health. Though shadowy and incomplete, it |
; displays a ready appreciation of our distinguish- |
} ing characteristics, and we can but express a !
! hope that, under happier auspices, he may kero- j
I after have ampler opportunity for the exercise i
] of his rare talent of word-painting, iu which tie j
; is unequalled, in giving a more elaborate picture |
of our Ocean City.
The extracts at the close of the article are i
most appropriate and inciting to the efforts now |
making by our citizens to relieve themselves from ;
the obloquy of neglect and indifference to tiie j
memory of the Great Statesman, whose remains j
have been entrusted to them :
With a presentiment (afterwards confirmed) j
| that, by going too early North, 1 was leaving j
! what little convalescence I had picked up in a ]
j warmer clime, 1 embarked for Charleston, on the j
| evening of the sth of May—arriving the next !
] morning, after a rough, cold and thoroughly tin- .
j comfortable passage. Quite prostrated by sea
| sickness and influenza, and having more desired j
I to see Charleston than any other point of my ‘
winter’s travel, I had never found illness more
j untimely. We rejoined, here, some of our fel- ;
I low voyagers in the Tropics, but the most ad
] mired and beloved of that happy company lay
i dying under the same roof with us, and a mel
] aucholy sadness weighed upon all who had
known her. Altogether, I obtained hut an im- j
perfect and clouded view of the great metropolis j
of the South. My best remembrances of it were j
such as do not come within a traveller’s chrom- j
cle; the meeting with valued friends and ac- i
quaintances. it must pass for the broken page ]
1 of my Journal, to he rewritten, if possible, with
better knowledge hereafter.
In what little I saw of Charleston, in my |
inopings about, 1 was impressed with tne air it i
wears of a town built for gentlemen, ft is a lit- j
; tie behindhand with paint and repairs, but, iu the ‘
; contrivance and character of its private resided- ;
ces, there is the original imprint, still legible, of ;
first owners who built exclusively, each one, for
; taste and comfort of his own. There is none
of the amputated look given to city buildings by
] the more utilitarian taste of the North. Even
in houses of very moderate pre'ensions, it was j
; quite evident that the plan had not been sent i
: back to the architect, shaved of all its superflui- I
i ties of elegance merely. In tho bay windows, i
j verandahs, odd angles, porticos and gardens, J
j and in the unstereotyped variety with which the
caprices of ornament had been combined, the j
i look of refinement quite at its ease and appre
! hensive of neither eclipse nor criticism, is very
1 manifest. Every house looks as if the same fam
( ily had always lived in it. Without strict archi
j tectural taste, this atmosphere of household gods
j may'be made to envelope a home with an indi- ;
j viduality more attaching to children and more j
I inspiring of respect; and i must own that, to j
j my eye, it is an innovation upon art worth stu- i
! dying
in the days when the North anil South were
I more intimate—the gay society of the two lati- ;
j tudes holding an equally divided empire over j
| Baliston and Saratoga—Charleston was the un- :
i questionable Corinth, fiotn which came the best j
models of gentlemen and ladies. With the plan- |
tation conservatism of family—custom of send- ]
ing sons to Europe for education — general hah- j
it of yearly travel, and prevailing tone of courte- :
sv and chivalry handed down from a superior i
class of first inhabitants—this may easily he j
I accounted for. The marks of it would still im- j
I press a stranger in walking the streets ol Charles-
I ton or looking in upon its society. Shouldered j
| aside as the city is, somewhat, perhaps, by the j
: current of “progress,” and becalmed in the still ]
| water of such respectability and dignity as this I
j “fast” age will leave behind, its gayeties proba
’ bly assemble, at the present time, a higher-bred ;
i class of men and women than any other capital
]of our country. The epidemic rage, for action j
j and contact with the world, which is setting the ;
! noblemen of England to lecturing,will soon reach :
| here, doubtless, and lively-IV Charleston up to |
j the dreg-stirring activity oi New “link; hut, |
j meantime, its streets are walked by gentlemen
| who look tranquilly noble, and its drives are
| graced by ladies who si’in their carriages with
| the air of princesses at leisure,
j There is a childish disappointment, (which i
j do not find that I outgrow,) in tho first visit to
I most large capitals. Until one sees a famous
! place, its great men form a conspicuous part of j
the ideal picture of it. A hoy, in going for the i
first time to Boston, for instance, would feel an ]
unexplainable disappointment not to seo Web j
ster with at least a dome and cupola ; Prescott ]
with a Gothic arch to him; Emerson with a j
; steeple, and Everett with a colonnade all round
—or some equally tangible, visible and imposing- j
ly architectural proof that this is the Boston of ]
which, as seen from a distance, those men com- j
pose so largo a part. I had always thought ot
Charleston, South Carolina, as a city built not
so much of brick as of Calhoun—not so beauti
ful for its public walks as for its Washington i
Alston. To arrive there, and walk through it,
and drive round it, without seeing any thing of
them—no sign of the statesman and painter who
would still show for Charleston, though the city
were sunk by an earthquake—was and is
“less of a place” than l had expected—to take
out the glory from the picture and put in brick,
it is to tliis feeling (among others) that cities
owe monuments for their great men. Willing to
pay for gas, they should be willing to pay also
for the “nobulous aurora” of genius which, shin
ing from there, lights them up so that they are
seen the world over.

Trial ofthe Rohlicrsof John Jackson.
Forsyth, March 14th, 185. T
Messrs. Editors :—The Superior Court of Mon
roe county has been in session for two weeks
past, and as it has been occupied almost the
whole of the time in the trial of some of the men
who were concerned in the robbery of John
Jackson, near the line of Pike, last October, it
may not be uninteresting to your readers to have
the details of the robbery, as developed by the
testimony placed before them.
It appears that about five weeks before the
robbery, two men who then passed by the names !
ot Cooper and Williams, but who now answer ;
to the names of Simpson and Copenhaver, i
stayed all night at Mr. Jackson’s, and on pay- ]
mg for their fare tho next morning, handed him j
a 820 bill to he changed. In changing it, j
M rs. Jackson got some money out of a trunk
in tho closet, and thus they ascertained where I
the money was kept. About midnight, on the !
12th of October last year, the door of his dwell- ;
ing was suddenly burst open, and several men ]
entered the room occupied by Mr, and Mrs.’
Jackson. One, recognised by them on tho trial
as Copenhaver, a stout, athletic man, went to
their bed, and caught tho old man by the throat
with one hand, and in a threatening manner,
would slightly touch his head with a stick in the
other, and upon Mrs. Jackson’s screaming, he
ordered her to hush, and drawing a pistol, told
her he could make her hush. Another, since re
cognised as Dr. Roberts, held a lighted candle
in his hand, while tho others opened the closet
door, and took out the trunk—they immediately
left the house. They were pursued early next
morning, and about a quarter of a milefrom the
house, the trunk was found -broken open, and
rifled of its contents, amounting, according to
Mr. Jackson's testimony, to about $0,500, all
silver, except about SIOO in gold. Their trr.il
was followed into Meriwether county, where
they separated, three going a road in tho direc
tion of Tennessee, and two towards Newnan,
Coweta county. These two were arrested late
in the evening in Newnan, and one called him
self John B. Simpson, and the other at first re
fused to give his name, but afterwards acknow
ledged himself to he Dr. Roberts. In their sad
dlebags were found about $940 in silver -a large
amount of bills, most of which were counterfeit;
two Percepts, for unlocking doors on the out
side, when tho key is within—a bunch of skele
ton or false keys for unlocking trunks, bureaus,
desks eVe., a brace, such as is used by carpen
ters for boring, two pistols and a slung shot, or
a stout piece of leather, loaded at one end
with lead. They were brought to Alonroe, and
one of them, Simpson, under promise of being
released, made a discloseure, by which the other
three ere pursued to Tennessee, and two of
them, Copenhaver and Clark, were arrested and
iirought back Clark, when arrested, made a
full confession ofthe robbery, without.tny prom
i.-.c of being released, and upon the back, con
ducted the persons in charge of him to the
place iu Meriwether county, where more of the
money was secreted ; it was concealed in three
separate parcels, and amounted to $1,217 in
silver.
Two hills of indictment were preferred against
them and found true —one for Burglary and the
other for Robbery ; and Dr. Roberts was indic
ted singly as a rogue and vagabond, carrying ‘
about pick locks, false keys, &c. He was bound
guilty of the three offences, and sentenced to
nineteen years imprisonment in the Penitentiary
Copenhaver was found guilty of burglary and
robbery, and sentenced to the Penitentiary for
fourteen years. He was indicted for perjury, j
alleged have been committed during the Court, j
and the case was continued until the next term, j
Clark plead guilty on one bill; and in consider- |
ation of his full and frank confession upon his j
arrest, and also of having been led by the in-j
fiuence of another man to join in the robbery,
ho was sentenced to only four years confinement
in the Penitentiary, and the other bill was nol
prosequied as to him, Price, another of tho
offenders, who escaped to Tennessee, upon his
return there, was arrested and confined in jail
for a murder previously committed Has been
recently rescued from prison by some of his
friends, and is now at large.
But perhaps the most interesting part of tho
trial was the examination of Simpson, as a wit
ness, on the trial of Roberts, aa a rogue and

commencement of his examination, that he was

himself of that exemption,
ll seems that Roberts become displeased with
him ou account of his betraying his associates,
and appearing as a witness against them ; and
, I being pretty well posted up with his history,
] from his intimacy with him, he was enabled to
! suggest many questions which Simpson retused
I to answer ; and as bis refusal was based on the
! ground that he was not bound to criminate him
self, the legitimate inference is, that the questions
propounded to him, and which he declined to
| answer, implied allegations of crime which are
j true.
When asked his name, he auswered to the
1 name of John 15. Simpson. He was asked if
his true name is not Jonathan Chalfant he re
fused to answer. I pen being asked where he
was horn, lie said in Ohio—that he lived there
until nineteen years of age, and theu went to
Kentucky. He admitted that he knew Chalfant
—that he was born Ohio and at about the same
time that he was. Upon being shown the slung
shot, and asked whose property it was, he re
plied, he supposed he had as much right to it as
Dr, Roberts. He was asked if he had never
knocked any one down with it, and declined
answering. He denied knowing Mr. Rambo,
of Gwinnett county ; but upon being asked if
; he had not knocked him down with his slung
■ .-hot, or some other man, in that county, and
; robbed him ; he refused to answer. He was
i asked if he. had not been confined in jail in
] Chillicothe, Ohio for murder, and declined an
swering ; but, upon being further interrogated
he admitted that he knew Henry Thomas, who
had been in jail in Chillicothe for murder, and
was hung for that crime—that he was in jail
: with him, but refused to answer, if he was not
there under the name of Chalfant
In one of the cheap publications of the day,
] of a certain character, entitled “The Life and
Adventures of Henry Thomas, the Western
Burglar and Murder,” it will lie seen that Thomas

him.

his guilt. Various other questions were put to
him, not now recollected, but enough has been
detailed to show that he is covered all over with

Singular Marriage of the Emperor’s I’liyscian,
The marriage of the physician of Louis Na
poleon, Dr. Coiineau, is announced. We learn
i from the Courier des Etats Unis that he Ims,
i in imitation of his royal master, espoused a
i lady thirty years younger than himself, —
Conneau, who ts said to be a most excellent
man, had been the tutor of this young lady
: from her infancy, having bestowed upon her all
the tender care and solicitude of a farther. Some
time ago, finding his charge ol an age and in
a position to lie married, he offered his services
in making for her an advantageous selection.--
But l have already made my choice, replied
the young lady, and I am ready to be married
at anv time. How! rejoined the astonished
j doctor, have you indeed selected your husband ;
j and who is the happy man ? It is yourself, res
: ponded the damsel ; 1 love you with all my
heart, and I am now ready to become your
wife. Too much surprised at this declaration to
1 believe his pupil in earnest, the doctor turned it
off - as a pleasantry. she insisted that she was
serious, he at length made a formal and distinct
refusal of the hand she had offered him. The
young lady, however, as it seems, well consid
f ered the subject, and her purpose was not to be
changed. She reproached her tutor with uu
kindness, and with a willingness to make her
miserable. The doctor yielded so far as to
take the subject again into consideration, and
aftei consulting with his master and friend, the
Empeior, at length decided to accept the lady’s
I offer and become the happy husbandofhis now

Tub Clim.w oi Pe.mhv.—We remember
an old lady who was so remarkably economical
that sho had a pair of shoes made for her little

out. This lady, however, was no match for
Mr. Watson, uncle to the late .Marquis of Rock

is related that finding himself dying, ho desired
it friend to open for him a drawer in which was
an old shirt, that he nrgbt put it ou. Being
asked why he wished to change his linen, and
; he so ill, he replied : “Because 1 am told that
the shirt that I die in must he iu the nurse’s

This is as had as the woman wito, with her last

Ain’t Done Nothing.
“\\ hat's the matter, John ?”
“1 ain’t done nothing, father.”
“Well what are you crying for, you lubber i”
“I was afraid you would whip me.”
“What ! whip you when you havn’t done
■ anything t”
j “Yes, sir.”
“Go into tho house, you booby.”
John felt quite relieved, and went into tho
house, and his father went down to the farm.—
Very soon his father came back in a rage, and
laying a cowhide over the urchin’s back, said,
“Did 1 not tell you, when l went away, to hoe
that corn
“Yes, sir—hut you told me just now you
wouldn’t whip me if 1 hadn’t done nothin.”
What is a poor man to do who has ho virtues?
Why, make a virtue of necessity of course.
It is not the height to which men are advanced
that makes them giddy ; it is the looking down
with contempt upon those below them.
