Some years since, Major Walter Campbell, a distinguished officer of the Anglo Indian army, published in “The New Monthly Magazine” a series of graphic sketches oflife in India These have been recently re-published in this country, tinder the editorship of Frank Forrester; and, as a specimen of the author’s humor, we copy the following story, ostensibly told by a certain Dr. McPhee: eel, then, gentlemen, ye maun ken that the Laird o’ Bonniemoon was gae fond o’ his bot tle—in short, just a pair drunken body, as I said afore. On one occasion, the laird was asked to dine with Lord R , a neighbor of his, and his lordship being weel acquainted wi’ the laird’s titslike to sraa’ drinks, ordered a bottle o’cherry brandy to be set afore him after dinner, instead of port, which he always drank in preference to claret when nothing better was to be got. The laird thought this tine, heart-some stuff, and on he went, filling his glass like the rest, and telling iiis cracks, and ever the mair he drank, the ntair he praised his lordship’s port. ‘lt was fine, full bodied wine, and lay weel upon the stomach— not like that puisonsome stuff, claret, tiiat gart’t a body feel as il he had swallowed a nest of puddocks.’ “Well, gentlemen, the laird had finished ae bottle o’ cherry brandy—or, as his lordship cal led it, his ‘particular port’—and had just tossed off a glass of the seeond bottle, which he de clared to be even better than the first, when his old confidential servant, Watty, came slavin’ into the room, and, making his best boo, an nounced that his laird’s horse was at the door. “Get out o’ that, ye fause, soon ! cried the laird, poolin’ ass his wig and flinging it at Wat ty’s head. ‘Din ye no see, ye bletherin’ brute, that I’m just beginning my second bottle ‘(’ “But, master, said Watty, scartin’ his lug, it’s amaist twall o’clock ! ‘“Well, what though it be I’said.the laird, turning up his glass with drunken gravity, while the rest of the company were like to split their sides with laughing at him and Watty ‘lt can na be later, my limn, so just rax me my wm, and iet the i.ug bide a wee.’’ “Weel, gentlemen, it was a cauld frosty night, and Watty soon tired o’ kicking bis heels at the door ; so, in a wee while, back he comes, and says he, ‘Maistor, maister, it’s amaist one o’- clock !’ “‘Weel, Watty,’ gays the laird, wi’a hic cup—for he was far through by this time—‘it will no be ony easier, Watty, my man, and that’s a comfort ; so you may just rest yourself a wee while longer, till I finish my bottle—a sou wanie makes a stiff back, ye ken, Watty.’ “Watty was by this time just dancing mad ; so after waiting another half hour, back he comes, in an awful hurry, and, says he, ‘Laird Laird, as true as death the sun’s risen !’ “‘Weel, Watty,” says the laird looking aw ful wise, and trying with botii hands to fill his glass, ‘let him rise, my mon, let him rise, he has farther to gang the day than either you or me, Watty.’ “This answer fairly dumbfounded poor Wat ty, and he gave up in despair. “But at last the bottle was finished. The laird was lifted into the saddle and off he rode in high glee, thinking a’ the time that the moon was the sun, and that he had a fine daylight for his journey. “ ‘Heh ! Watty, my mon,’ says the laird, pat ting his stomach and speaking awfu’ thick, we vvurna the waur o’ that second bottle this frosty morning.’ “ ‘Faith, says Watty, blowing his fingers, and looking as blue as pastan, ‘your honor is, may be, no the waur o’t; but fient a hait is my watne the better. I wish it was.’ “Well, on they rode fu, cannily, the laird grip ping hard at the horse’s mane, and rolling about like a bow o’ meal; for the cold air was begin ning to gar the speerits tell on him. “At last they came to a wee hit hum that crossed the road ; and the laird’s horse, being pretty well used to having his own way, stop ped short and put down his head to take a drink. This had the effect of making the poor laird lose his balance, and away he went over the horse’s ears into the middle of the burn. The laird, honest man, had just sense enough to hear the splash, and to ken that something was wrong; hut he was that far, that deevil a bit did he ever suspect that it was himself.” “ ‘Watty,’ says he, sitting up in the middle of the burn, and stammering out the words with great difficulty—‘Wtitty, tny mon, there is sure ly something tumbled into the burn, Watty.’ “ ‘Faith, your honor may say that,’ replied Watty like to tumble off his horse with laughing, ‘for it’s just yourself, laird!’ ‘“flout! fie! no, Watty!’ cried the laird, with a hiccup between every word; ‘it surely canna be me, Watty, for I’m here!’ “Now, gentlemen,” continued the doctor, “here is a case in which I would allow a man to be sou, although he had neither lost his speech nor the use of his limbs.” Manifest Destiny. — Clear the Track. —A lightning line is now running from Chicago to New A oik, and passengers are put through in a flash, and not unfrequently as the public is aware in a crash, going with Mr. Doolittle and his “First Locomotive,” “slang bang to eternal smash.” Truly, we’are “a bustin’ people.” We must be blowing something up. The steam boat folks blow up their passengers, and the ed itors blow up the steamboats. We all come down, and if alive progress or propel again.— The banks “burst,’’ the biiers “burst,’’ and we “burst’’ with indignation, and straightway go to raising steam again. We consider ourselves entitled to the track, and if old fogy folks fail to clear it, we put it through, and put right through them. “Keep off the crossings.’’ Man ifest destiny is just ahead of us, hut we are bound to head it. Even the lightning must soon he greased or be abandoned as an old highway to slow going thunderbolts. So we go, aud so keep going. A man who cannot keep up with this age had better get out of it. If he can’t get out vve help him. “Life and limb at the passenger’s risk, and no accountability for freight or baggage.” Buy your ticket and make your will—take your seat and go to pray ing.—Lou.

An illiterate correspondent, who is given to sport ing, wants lo know when the “Anglo-Saxon Race,” so much talked about, is to come off? Artificial Beauty. The Southern Ladies’ Companion gives good advice to a certain class of young ladies, in the article annexed : “There are a few habits, more or less com mon among the ladies, which we should like to see abandoned ; we allude especially to the use of artificial coloring and perfumery. Per haps every young lady desires to show a fair complexion, and at the same time the ruby glow of health ; and where these are denied by nature, or—as is too often the case—de stroyed by improper habits of neglect, it is a common practice to resort to artificial means for the purpose of putting on an appearance which is unreal and deceptive. This is objec tionable, because, as no lady wishes it to be un derstood that the white and red of her com plexion are but a disguise put on to deceive the spectator, it is therefore a species of hypocrisy —what an Indian would call a lie. But where in is the advantage ? If she should find herself admired for the possession of qualities which do not belong to her, but are only imitated, she must feel mortified for having elicited a compli ment b}’ deception, and she almost trembles lest the truth should leak out. And how must a lady of sensibility feel, to know that she has won the heart and hand of a worthy man— partly at least—by a deception which her very success must bring to light ? Surely she can not expect tha* measure of respect from a cheat ed husband which an honest wife is entitled to receive. But there is another view to be taken of the case. A young lady of naturally good health and complexion, by keeping irregular hours, by lying in bed late, and inhaling the exhausted atmosphere of her bed-room, instead of breathing the pure, invigorating air of early morning, and by indolently neglecting to take proper exercise in the open air, becomes weak, pale, and sallow; her beauty is gone, and now, instead of resorting to regular habits, early ri sing and healthful exercise, for the recovery of the forfeited boon, she vainly attempts to sup ply the deficiency by the employment of rouge and lead, and other vile compounds ; and while she deceives few, and is laughed at by the many, she effectually obstructs the healthy ac tion of the pores, and tans the skin of her face into thick dingy leather, and when the mask is off, her complexion appears really repulsive ; even at the early period when nature intended her to possess a fair skin, and to wear the rose of health on her cheeks, her complexion be comes old, wrinkled, thick, and leathery; and her health—as well as her beauty—is seriously injured, by the unnatural means she employs for the restoration of the latter. “In addition to the use of what are improperly enough called cosmetics, many ladies are in the habit of employing perfumery, to give their per sons a sweet and agreeable odor. One of the most common of these in use is called musk, a substance of strong and certainly not sweet scent, obtained from the male of an animal sometimes called the musk cat. A lady cer tainly makes not a very complimentary con cession in admitting—as she does by the use of this substance—that the strong and offensive odor given out by musk, is more agreeable titan that of her own sweet person. AVe have frequently known of these musky fair ones to scent a room so strongly as to turn even gen tlemen sick, and drive them out. So, too, cloves and other aromatics are used by some to sweet en the breath, and this is a mistake of kin to those already named. If ladies will rise early, take plenty of exercise, eat wholesome food temperately, use ablutions freely and regularly, cleanse the teeth and mouth carefully after eve ry meal, and serve God and their fellow mor tals with a cheerful spirit, they will have very little use for rouge aud whiting, musk or aro matics, padding, porcelain teeth, or perukes, and be more sweet, pretty, healthy, and happy, and withal a great deal more captivating.” [From the N. 0. Crescent.] On the Conduct ol Married Men. It has frequently been remarkedby foreigners as a defect in our society, that such prominence is giv en to unmarried ladies, and thatinatrons are com paratively neglected. This is certainly true ; hut the fault as certainly lies at the door of the neglec ted dames, who usually take so little paius to please in society, that one who is at all agreeable is in danger of being considered a flirt. They sit in corners, either silently waiting lor the supper, or engaged in conversation about their domestic ar rangements until that important event takes place, retiring as soon afterwards as decorum will admit. No wonder that young, men after exchanging a few polite common places, pass on and devote them selves to the more lascinating juniors. But, if married ladies are dull, what adjective can be found to do justice lo the social short coming of married men ? The unapproachable, unintereata ble, undraw-out-ahle creatures ! Their insulting indifference to the charms ot us young ladies is pro voking beyond description. They s'and around door-ways, talking politics or business, and take r,o more notice of us than if we were wax dolls. If unavoidably so placed that they are compelled to say something, the only subject they condescend to touch upon is some paltry joke about matrimony, or a trumped up report lhat we are soon to change our name. Having exhausted this exciting subject, they usually remark that “it is not right for married men to monopolize such pretty creatures,” and so leave us lo the tender mercies of Saphead Booby, who happens to be fortunately near. This modesty is very well when the bachelor is an agreeable man, for of course all other thiugs be ing equal, a married man is nowhere beside a bache lor; but it should not be a rule that an interesting conversation between a married man and single wo man should simply cease the moment an unmarried male biped makes his appearance. This tantalizing custom arises from a false no tion that all single women are constantly on the look out for an opportunity to “get settled ;” and that society is nothing but a vast hunting ground, where spinsters are the sports-women and bache lors the game, and where married people have no business except as speciators. The idea that there is such a thing as intellectual intercourse, seems to be entirely forgotten The innumerable subjects of interest upon which cultivated people might meet as a debateable ground, are apparently lost sight of. Nothing but flirting and dancing, dancing and flirting again. When we get tired of both, and long for a chance to talk about something besides “the goodness of the music and the beauty of the belies,” we may stretch our ears to try and catch some of the conversation in which those two old gentlemen are so much interested ; but, though we are acquainted with them both, it would be a glaring impropriety to walk over and join them. If we did, the probability is they would instantly change the conversation as not suited to our comprehension. There are unquestionably some amiable exceptions to these remarks, some Benedicts who have not en tirely resigned their power of pleasing, and who are willing to converse on subjects of more general in terest than corn,cotton or politics; but such are ex ceptions and only prove the rule. Now, as it is manifestly impossible for a woman to marry more than one man at a time, and as, mat rimonially speaking, there is no difference between a person that we could have if we would, and one that we could not have if we would, let us assure those > ery considerate creatures that as far as society goes their being married orsingle “is not of the slight est consequence.” Jessie.

Os this sum the guaranties are ample, and the Directors will commence work at once. These arrangements are such as will enable them to prosecute their work with great rapidity, and in the course of sixteen months the iron horse will make its winged, continuous flight between this point and the Gulf in six hours.

The new Mexican Minister of Foreign Af fairs. —We announced a few days ago, on the authority of the Universal of Mexico—Gener al Santa Anna’s organ—that the office of the minister of foreign affairs of that republci vacated by the death of its late distinguished incumbent, | Senor Alaman, was to be filled by the appoint ment of Senor Don Manuel Diaz de Bonilla. As tlie settlement of some delicate and impor tant negotiations between Mexico and the re public of the United States, including tho Te huantepec affair and that of the Mesilla valley, will be confided on the one side to this func tionary, it is interesting to us to know some what of his character, abilities and antece dents. Senor Bonilla lias spent much of his life in the public service, and lias fulfilled some diplo matic functions. He is a lawyer of the highest standing in his country, and has been a mem ber of Congress, and a minister from Mexico at the Court of Rome and to tlie republic of Cbiii. He has travelled much, as well in Europe as in America, and in addition to his native language he is master of the English, French aud Italian tongues. Hu is at present, we understand, pre sident of the principal college in Mexico. Add to these various acquirements, that Senor Bo nilla is a man of progressive and liberal ideas, and we will arrive at the conclusion that how ever Mexico may have to lament at this crisis the death of Senor Alaman, the public duties which devolved on his position will be ably per formed by Senor Bonilla. —New York Herald.

Abercrombie—The Macon Republican and the Spirit of the South. There is so much good sense and genial humor in the following article that we transfer it entire to our columns and cordially commend it to our Alabama readers: [From tlie Spirit of the South.] Let ’em Wriggle. The Macon Republican has been engaged for sev eral weeks in cutting a series ol preposterous an tics, which throw the most brilliant feats of ground and lofty tumbling and the most astounding sports of the ring quite into the shade. First, it was pro foundly mortified at the course of Capt. Abercrom bie in refusing a whig nomination and predicted his certain defeat. Then however it concluded to make a virtue of necesai'y and hoist his name. But the next week his name had disappeared and the anxious ! public were informed that ihe reasons would be given in the np.xt issue. But lo ! the next week came and brought no light, the editor doubtless concluding w ith Falstaff that though reasons were as plenty as blackberries, he would not give one upon compulsion. At last however he allow* Ihe name which had been removed, to resume place, stating that although there are stid 50...: noints of difference between the editor and Caps. Abercrombie, the tormer is satisfied after a further correspondence and a personal interview that he ought to be supported. More than two mouths ago in view of Capt. Alrei crombie’s refusal to support Gen. Scott and his avowed determination not to submit his claims to a YY’liig Convention, as well as of his opinions ireely expressed in conversation, we came to the conclu sion that our political friends ought not to oppose his re-election, He declared himself opposed to a reorganization of the YY'hig parly,—in favor of re ducing the tariff to the wants of an economical gov ernment, and determined to judge the adm nistra tion of Gen. Pierce by its acts, supporting it w hen right and condemning it w lien wrong. In reference to future northern aggressions he took the highest ground. Under these circumstances, we could not under stand that it was any part of onr duty as S mthern Rights men to aid the Scott whigs in breaking i down Capt. Abercrombie for an unquestionable act j of fidelity to his section, nor could we see any prae j tical issue involved in a contest, between him and ihe gentleman who was proposed as his competitor. Opposition, therefore, we thought would more ap ! proptiately come from the whig re-organizer .whom | our late representative had baffled and defied, than I from any other quarter. The opinions which we then attributed to him have been repeatedly endorsed by Capt. Abercrom bie. YVe have ihe very best reasons for know ing that the correspondence with the Macon Republi can so far from retracting, expressly reaffirms them ; and we a.-k no better evidence than wehave, for the assertion, that nothing has !i"?n said or done incompatible with them. YVe understand well why the Macon Republican desi.es now to ptovoke us into opposition, But we assure him that it he is sat isfied with those “three” letters, so are we. YVe understand w ell the unpleasant process to which the Scott whig re-organizers in this district have been subjected. A little while back and they ruled thedistriet with a rod ot iron. They said to this one “go,” and he went; and toanother, “stay,” and lie staid ; but now one is going, who denoun ced their candidate for President, who despised their conventions, who opposes their darling scheme ol re-organization. They never concluded to tole rate him, until they’ found themselves 100 weak lo destroy him. Right over their heads is he going, in defiance of their predictions, in utter disregard ‘of their advice and remonstrances, and soon tliere will be none so poor to do them reverence. YY’e repeat it, if they can stand it, we can. Like the old fanner, who, when his learned friend exhibited the living creatures iu the cheese that he was ea ting, through a in croscupe, andjeried, “don’t eat it, uncle B. .i, don’t you see ’em squirm and wriggle.” “Let ’em wriggle,” said tlie old phi!- sopher,'lak.ng another bite, “they have got the wo'st ot it, and it they can stand it, I can,” and deliberately finished his meal. So say we. The whig re-organizers have got the worst of it, and we cannot find it in our hearts to deny them the poor privilege of wriggling. Let ’em wriggle. If they can stand it, we can. The Two Conventions. The Conventions which met in this city on tlie 15th and 21st inst. may be considered as true representatives of the two parties. The Demo cratic Convention was large, enthusiastic and full of confidence in the success of their cause and their candidates. It was composed of the work ing men of the party, each one fearlessly and in dependently advocating the claims of his favorite candidate, yet each one yielding his preference to the will “of the majority. In the Democratic Convention no delegate recognised any master but every man appeared to feel bis own irulo ual responsibility. In short, in the Democratic Convention, there was no Aleck Stephens to work the wires, and no Bob Toombs to tell them what they must do; but every man act ed as if he felt that he was a free man, and capable of acting and thinking for himself. In the Democratic Convention there were more than two hundred regular Delegates, representing 79 counties. In the Toombs Convention they claim to have 137 delegates from fifty-two counties, but how did they make out even this small array? by cheating and humbug. Several of the delegates that are re ported as representing other counties, were citizens of Milledgevillc, and knew just as much about the wishes of the people they pretended to represent as they did about the inhabitants of the moon. For instance Mr. Knowles of the Recorder represented in part the county of Clark ; Mr. Ornve of the Recorder represented the county of Lowndes; Mr. YV. YV. Paine of the State House represented Telfair, and Gen. John YV. A. Sanford represented in part the county of Cass. YY’e notice these few cases as specimens of the way in which counties were represented, hut they are not ail that might be mentioned. To swell the list of delegates, the names of Joint Hamilton, J. N. Cate, and D. J. Haney are reported twice, once as delegates from Murray, and once as delegates from Whitfield. Whoever will examine the extra from the Re corder office, will see ail these specimens of humbug, and the way a Toombs convention can be got up. But the whole convention was a transparent humbug, perpetrated by Toombs and Stephens. Tlie YVebster men bad every thing their own way, and the Scott men, who constituted a large majority of party last fall, were no where in the convention* YVe were amused spectators of the whole farce, and were forcibly struck with the entire want of indepen dence and individuality among the delegates. All appeared to bo waiting the word ot com mand, when to act, and what to do. YVe saw but one solitary instance ot independence evin ced by any member ot the convention. A dele gate from Morgan county opposed one ot Mr. Toombs’ movements, and the whole convention turned toward him with perfect astonishment, to think that any whig should have the audacity to oppose Bob Toombs —Federal Union.
