A Post Prandial Poem.
The foliowingjVtf iVesprit uas read by its author, John
G. Sasc, Drtj., at a recent celebration ol the Fei Upeilon
fraternity, an association compo?ed of the graduates and
under-graduates of the First colietjes i:i the country'. It is
Full ol pith, puns, and pcetpy, arid much better than either
the prose or poetry that usually has its birth amid after-din
ner convivialities:
Dear Brethren, who sit round this bouutiful board,
With excellent viands so lavishly stored,
! That in newspapers phrase, ’twould undoubtedly groan,
Il ffroauing were but a convivial tone,
i Wtiich it isn’t--and, thereforo, by sympathy led,
j The table, no doubt, is rejoicing instead.
Dear Brethren, I rise—and it won’t be surprising
If you find me, like bread, all the better for rising—
j I rise to express my exceeding delight
Iu our cordial re-union, this glorious night,
j And invoke eveiy blessing a true henrt*.>d brother
i Ia fullness of feeling can do ior another,
j And here let me pause for a moment, to ea'%
I In a negative, lose than a positive way,
j (Like a parson beginning his doctrinal task,)
j What blessing ior each I c uld specially ask ;
! you never get in love, or in debt, with a doubt
j As to whether or no you will ever get out ;
| May you ne’er have a mistress who plays the coquette,
| Or a neighbor who blows on a cracked clarionet;
.May you learn the first use of a lock on your door,
j And ne’er, like Adonis, be killed by a bore;
j Shun canting and canters with resolute force,
i A ‘canter’ is shocking, except in a horse ;
{ At jovial parties inind what you are at,
Beware ot vour head and take care of your hat,
Lest you Find that the favorite son ol your mother
Has an ache in the one and a brick in the other ;
May you never, 1 pray, to worry your lik*,
Have a weak-minded Iriend, or a strong-minded wile ;
A tailor distrustful, or partner suspicious ;
A dog that is rabid, or nag that is vicious;
Above ail, the chief blessings the Gods can impart.
May you keep a clear head and a generous heart;
Remember ‘tis blessed to give and forgive;
Live chiefly to love, and love while you live.
And dying, when file’s little journey is done,
! May your last, fondest sigh be, Pei Upeilon.
1 Wait for Thee.
The hearth is swept—the fire is bright,
The kt-ttlo sings for thee ;
The cloth is spread—the lamps are fight,
The hot cakes smoke in napkins white,
And now I w’ait for thee.
Come home, love, home, thy task is done;
The clock ticks listeningly,
Tii© blinds arc shut the curtain down,
The warm chair to the fireside drawn,
‘I he boy is on my knee.
Come home, love, home, his deep, fond eye
Looks round him wistfully;
And when th whispering wmds go by.
As il thy welcome step were nigh,
He crows exuliingly. )
Iu vain—ho finds the welcome vain,
And turns his glance on mine,
; Bo earnestly, that yet again, * 1
His form unto my heart 1 strain.
That glance is so like thine.
Thy task is done, we miss thee her© ;
Where’er thy loot steps roam,
No heart will spread such kindly cheer,
No beating heart, no listening ear,
Like these will wait thee home.
Aha, along the crisp walks fast
Thut well-known step doth come,
The boat is drawn—the gate is past.
The babe is wild with joy at last,
A thousand welcome* home.
Oh, Watch you Well by Daylight.
BY SAMrtEL LOVEB.
Oh, watch you well by daylight,
By daylight you may fear,
fW keep no watch in darkness—
For angels then are near ;
For Heaven the sense beetoweth
Our waking life to keep,
But tender ineroy ahoweth
To guard up in our sleep.
Then watch you well by dayiight,
By daylight you may tear.
But keep no watch in darkness—
For angels then are near.
Ob, watch you well in pleasure—
For pleasures olt betray,
But keep no watch of sorrow,
_ W hen joy withdraws its ray ;
For in the hour of sorrow,
As in the darkness drear,
Tu Hcavcu entrust the morrow,
For tire angels then are near.
Oh, watch you well by daylight—
By daylight you may lear,
But keep no watch in darkness—
The angels then are near.

English Aristocracy Coming to Our World's
! Fair. —We learn, by a letter from a London
• correspondent, that the Earl of Ellesmere is
is coming out to this county, to represent Eng
j land at the World’s Fair to be held in New York,
j He brings one of his sons, and his daughters,
! the ladies Egerton, along with him. Although
among the highest and wealthiest of the English
aristocracy, and also prominent in the lite
vary world, they are represented to be among
the most amiable, unaffected, and unpretend.
| ing. Lady Bulvver, wife of the ex-British min
ister to the United States, and Lady Ouseley—
j who, by the by, is an American—have given
I them letters of introduction to several of their
; friends in this city.
We trust they will be greeted with a frank,
generous, dignified, and, above all, uuogtenta
tious hospitality. Let them especially not fall
into the hands and guardianship of a certain set,
whose obtrusive vulgarity, and impertinent, sel
fish, fidgety, would be-fashionable exclusivenese
are more disgusting to real good sense than
even the coarsest manners of the genuine
“b’hoys.”
Tho Countess of Ellesmere, it is understood,
accompanies her husband. She, too, we are
told, like the other members of the family, is
remarkable for kindness and entire absence of
pretension.
By Dod’s Parliamentary Companion, we
perceive that the Earl of Ellesmere was former
ly Lord Francis Egerton, having been raised to
his present dignity in the year 1846. He was
bom in 1800. His second title is Viscount
Braekloy. He is a privy councillor and a deputy
lieutenant of Sutherlandshire, was in the House
of Commons in 1846, as Lord Francis Egerton,
and has been a Lord of tho Treasury, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, and Secretary at War.
He possesses four princely residences in Eng
land, and is a member of the Carlton and Atbe

S. T. Chapman. Esq. —l hasten to give you a
brief account of the Teachers’ Convention, assem
bled to day in this place. In obedience to a call
published in the Southern School Journal, a large
delegation, comprising many ot ihe most intelligent
and efficient teachers in the State, met at 10 o’clock,
A. M.. m the Baptist Church in this Citv, and pro’
cetded at once to organize a State Teachers’ Asso
ciation.
Rev. T. I!. Sbide, of Columbus, was called to the
Chair, and Prof. O. L. Smith, of Macon Female
College, appointed Secretary. After some dtscus
-iun as to the legitimre objects of a Slate Associa
tion, a Committee ot I ive was appointed to prepare
and report a Constitution, to be submitted to the
Convention at the afternoon session.
Rev. T. F. Scott, of Columbus, Prof. Darby of
Culloden, President K. H. Myers, of Macon, Rev
F. R Gottlding, of Kingston,’ and Mr. L. Le Taste
jof Augusta, constituted that Committee. Adjourn
ed until 2 o’clock, P. M.
Convention re assembled at 3 o’clock. After
some discussion, the Constitution reported by the
Committee was adopted, and the following officers
were chosen by ballot: Rev. T. It. Slade, ot Co

Mvera, Prof. Joseph E. Willet, ot Mercer Univer
sity, L. Le Taste, of Augusta, and Rev, Mr. Martin

The utmost harmony preva led in all the delibera
tions of the Association. Indeed, I venture tossy
there never has been witnessed so much profession
al enthusiasm among the teachers of Georgia be
fore.
Association adjourned until 8 o’clock this evening,
to have a public discussion of tho general subject
of public education. I will write you again to
morrow.
Very truly, yours,
TEACHER.
Gkifkis, Ga., Aug. 11.
S. T. Chapman, Esq. Toe Teachers’ Associa
tion, held irt this city yesterday and to-day, has just
closed its session, having adjourned to meet on
Wednesday, 20th November next, at Milledgeville.
The details of the business transacted at this, the
first meeting, would not be interesting to you. as it
has been mainly with reference to the appropriate
objects of the Association, aid the preparation of
business for its future iris etioos.
I cannot give you ti better idea of the design of
the Association than by quoting the second article
of the Constitution adopted yelterday. It reads as
follows : I he objects of this Association shall
be,
Ist. To cultivate friendly intercourse among the
teachers of our State.
3d. To and sctiss and recommend the best modes of
instrucion.
3d. To examine and recommend the beat text boohs
on the various branches of study.
4th, To obtain the delivery of lectures on topics
connected with education.
sth. To give opportunity lor the free discussion
of all educa’ional questions, especially the details of
instruc'ion and government.
6:h. To do all in its power to ditfuse education
in Georgia, by ilie establishment of Common
Schools, aid by the use of all other means calcula
ted to promote the great cause of universal educa-1
tion.
In order to carry out these plans, the Executive
Commlitee are instructed lo provide suitable per
sons to deliver addresses before the Association, at
its next meeting, on each of the following topics:
Ist, The Educational wants of Georgia". 2d, The
qualifications of teachers. 3d, Natural History, as
a branch’ ot study in our schools.
Committees were also appointed to present re
ports on the following subjects :
Ist. County Teachers’ Associations, and Teach
ers’ Institutes.
2d. Common School System for Georgia
31. Use and abuse of Text Books.
A great deal of professional enthusiasm prevails
among the Teachers of this Association, and with
out doubt they will accomplish the great ends at
which they aim, for they have gone to work wiih the
right spirit, and ill the right way : and the Teach
ers of our State are the proper persons to begin the
work of educational reform.
Yours, very truly,
TEACHER.
An Extraordinary Man. —David Wilson, an
old revolutionary soldier, and a native of New
Jersey, died after a short illness, In Dearborn
county, Indiana, in August, 1833, aged one hun
dred and seven years, two months, and ten days.
He had at different periods ofliis lite, Jive wives,
and at the time of his death, was the father of
forty-seven children ! While residing in Penn
sylvania, near the old Redstone Fort, his wifo
gave birth to fire children in eleven months !
This extraordinary man, when in his one hun
dred and fourth year, mowed one week lor
Esq. Pendleton, of Hamilton county, Ohio,
about two miles from Cincinnati, during which
he mowed ono acre per day of heavy timothy
grass. He was about five feet six inches in
height. His frame was not supported by ribs,
as the frames of ordinary men are, but an ap
parently solid sheet of bone supplied their place.
He could hold up his hands in a vertical posi
tion, and receive a blow from the fist of a pow
erful man, on the lateral portion of his body,
without inconvenience. He served throughout
the entire revolution, under Gen. Washington,
was engaged in most of the Indian wars since,
and was the companion of Marion and Rodgers,
and of many other distinguished early pioneers
:of our Western and Southern wilds. Our rea
] ders may rest assured that this statement iscor
• rect, as we received it from Mr. Alexander Wil
j son, of North Madison, who is tho forty-fifth \
child of the subject of this paragraph.— Madison j

A Woman Kissing Cask— lt appears that a

light and in t! e open street, of (em; ted to kiss s surly

Human Candle., —The Chinese Repository tells
a very singular story of punishment inflicted ou a
Chinese criminal. His offence, it seems, was un
pardonable, and it was determined to make an exam
ple ol him. Consequently, he was wound round
with cotton, saturated with tallow, and having beeu
dipped till be presented the appearance of a gigan
tic candle, was stuck upon his father's grave, and
lighted. Os course, the poor fellow perished in
slow torture. Was ever device heard of, so com
pletely diabolical 7
Fttbbs, while recently engaged splitting
wood, struck a false blow, causing the stick to fly
up. It struck him on the jaw and knocked out a
front tooth. “Ah,” said Bill, (meeting him soon af
ter,) “you have had a dental operation performed
I see.” “Yes,” replied the sufferer, “occf-deotal 1”
And by such a pun he revenged himself upon fate

gentleman, oarving. “No,” said his friend, “cut it bri

Physical Degeneracy in New England.
The Editor of the Floridxi Sentinel , himself a
New Engender, writing Irom Boston, gives a sad
but doubtless true account of the physical deterio
ration going on among the descendants of the Pil
grims. It is to this that he traces, perhaps not on
philosophically, the mental and moral vagaries
for which New England has of late become so no
torious :
“I was speaking the other day, of what 1 con
sider the pecuniary extravagance of the people i
tiers ; but this is not tho most unpromising aspect
of matters with them. It is bard to find any body
well ; or it may bo that those who happen to be
well, say nothing about it. The robust, are cer
tainly very few and far between, while the deiicatc,
pale, nervous and ever-complaining, especially
among the laches, meet you ou all sides. The cen
sus of 1830 makes the average mortality in the
New England States one in 04, while that of the
central slave States is only one in “2. But while
various theories are started in the prints to account
for this disproportion consistently with salubrity of
climate, it does not, in mv view, give anything like
a just idea of the comparative mortality. To as
certain this, it would be necessary to take into ac
count the thousands who yearly fly from the rigors
of the winter, to the South,—to the West Indies
to Italy, and the other milder European lati
tudes, so many of whom find graves in foreign soil,
and are probably unreturned in the census, tudeed,
whatever the newspapers may say, the physical de
terioration of the race, from some cause or other, is
so generally acknowledged here, that I have heard
some gravely maintain the hypothesis that it would
eventually run out allogethet. Be this as it may,
no one can witness the sad havoc in households
mace by pulmonary and numerous chronic disor
ders without feelings es conimisseration and regret.
“Now, it strikes me as not unreasonable to ascribe
those odd and insane moral, intellectual, religious
and political demonstrations in which New Eng
land abounds, as much to this want of physical, as
to a want of mental health, or badness of heart.
‘Sana mens in Ssno corpore,’ was the old latin pro
verb, aud the latter is essential to the former. An
active mind working through diseased bodily organs
—a braiu flighty with vapors from a diaordered'sto
roach, and a body tormented with pain, cannot well
act healthily ; and if we cannot on this theory ac
count in part for some, of those ridiculous, blasphe
mous and revolting tangents in which New Eng

Alabama.—lt has been generally believed that
the Indian signification of this beautiful and sonorous
word is, “here we rest.” It appears, however, to
be of Hebrew origin, a language proverbial for the
euphony nndfmelody of its sounds. The Mobile
Tribune says:
li will perhaps strike most persons as a little sin
gular that the word Alibama—which is the spelling
m some of our earlier histories—occurs io Josephus’s
works —ride Book ll,Chapter I,—where it is de
scribed “how Esau and Jacob, the sons of Isaac,
divided their habitation j and Esau possessed Idu
mea and Jacob Canaan.” Esau departed from the
city of Hebron and left it to his brother, and dwe.t
iu Sire, and ruled over Idumea. There he became
the father of five soue, of whom J-ius and Jalontus
and Coretis w ere by one wife, whose name was Ah
baina.”
1 he name, if it be derived from Scripture history
has a very respectable antiquity ; and inhere tie any
of our readers skilled in Hebrew, or Syriac, or
Greek, or the kindred tongues, we should like them
lo solve its meaning for us. In the dictionaries of
scripture names the word does not occur, although
there are some therein which h ,vc a similar con
struction. In the Greek we find Alula, Alliana,
Alabus, Ahtbandi, &c., which would seem to indi
cate combinations of sounds similar to those of the
word Alabama. How easy it would be for Albana,
oi Alabandi to be, by a little mispronuciation, cor
rupied into the name of our State!
The history of words somedmes throws great
light on tho histories of men. Might not ath r ugh
pl.iollogtcal investigation of thissubject help to show
us something about the old opinion that America
was peopled by the lost tribes of Israel ?

Political
Judge Johnson.
Since the name of this gentleman has been pro
pounded to the people ot Georgia as the Democrat
ic nominee for Governor, his opponents, irrespective
ol t ruth or delicacy, hate been personally offensive,
as the most available weapons to effect his defeat.
\\ e w ill not occupy our columns in discussing
the propriety of such a line of warfare ; those whose
tastes for vituperation, whether instinctive or
cultivated, cannot be chastened by any ani
madversion of ottrs, and consequently we must
content ourself by giving a simple negation to
their accusatio s. From the charges made against
Judge Johnson, we ar*- led to suppose that he
was the favi red son of a favored parentage. Tins
is not so. That he was reared under the auspices
ot parental influence and indulgences, unused to
the sympathies and simplicities which bek ng to
the masses of our country. This likewise is
not so. %
Judge Johnson is the son of Moses Johnson,
deceased, of the comity of Burke, in this State.
Ilis father was a native of North Carolina, born
and raised destitute even of the necessities of life,
and without the benefits of the most limited edu
cation. lie moved to South Carolina,and went in
to the employment of Gen. Hampton, as an over
seer. From thence he removed to Georgia, with
out means other than sufficient to defray his expen
ses to tins Slate, and located on the. waters of
Briar Creek, in the County of Burke, his last earth
ly residence He there commenced a farm, and
with some itttle skill in the use of blacksmith
tools, by indefatigable energy and frugal habits
he accumulated property enough to lighten the
hurthensof life towards the evening of his days,
lie had four sons only, who as they grew up, shar
ed the labors and toils to which their father was
necessarily inured, and were confined to the daily
labors of the tie and. Judge Johnson was the Ju
nior of the brothers by one, and aR he ripened in
years his father likewise improved his pecuniary
condition. And as he arrived at the age to require
some solicitude, and make it important to give him
the benefits of an education, he would alternately
send him to the neighborhood schools, and retain
him in lis services on his farm. After Judge John
son had given the early part of his boyhood to the
labors and active services of bis father’s farm, he
gave him the advantages of academic instruction;
and his early development of rare ability and future
usefulness, under the influence of frit nds, induced
his father to send him to College, and give him the
benefits of his youthful promise.
Judge John-on afterwards graduated at Frank
lin College, and as one of ihtashining alumni of that
renowned seminary of learning, he sheds a lustrous
halo of which his alma mater may well be proud.
This is a short sketch of the man that has honored
his “father and his mother,” and may ye! encircle
a brilliant chaplet around the civic coronet of hig
native B:ate ; who has risen to eminence in the pur
suit fan honorable profession; who, by industry,
frugality, and a lite rich in the practice of every
virtue, lias foiled the weakness that beset youth,
and equalled the highest hopes of parental ambi
tion, and the pious aspirations of a mother’s love
which still lives and lingers under the weight ts
years, in the light and happiness of her prayers
and her cotiueels.
We submit without comment, whether such an
example should invite emulation, whether it should
be held up as a light, as a beacon, or as a reproach,
as a peril to the youth of our country. —Griffin Jef
fersonian.
A Rabid Freesoiler ia Office
-s_!Hon. Wm. J. Brown, of Indiana, has been ap
pointed as Post Office Mail Agent in Indiana, a
highly responsible office. He is a rabid Ireesoiler
of the rankest odor It was this same Hon. Wm.
J. Brown, whe pledged himse f to the Hon. David
Wilmotin 1849, whet a candidate in Congress for
the speakership of the House, that if elected Speak
er, he would “cons itme the committees on Territo
ries, Distiict of Columbia, in such a manner as
would he satisfactory to him and his friends”—the
frcesoilers. Vet ihe organs of the “new order of
things” loudly proclaim that no freeso.lers have
been appointed to office by General Pierce.— M. Y.
Bulletin.
To all this absurd and ridiculous twaddle. Mr.
Brown himself replies conclusively. His reply is
in the Indiana Sentinel, of winch he is tha editor.
Wo quota ;
“The Louisville Journal gives the appointment
of Wm. J. Brown as an evidence that President
Pierce is bestowing his patronage on freesoiler...—
Does the editor of the Journal know thut Wm. J.
Brown on ail occasions voted against the Wiltuot
Ptoviso, whilst not more than eight Northern
Whigs voted with him ; nnd that he voted for the
compromise,'he fugitive slave law inclusive, whilst
hut one Northern whig, (Col. Taylor, of Ohio,) vo
ted iiir all these measures ?”
We should think such a reply would silen'e for
evertlie partisan hacks who speak of Mr. Brown
as “a rabid freesoiler.” But will it do sol We shall
sen. Will one single whig paper tell its readers
that JVIr. B. never voted for the Wilmot Proviso, but
that he did vote tor tho Fugitive Slave Law 1 We
shall see again how far the Whig press are willing
to do justice to a man who, notwithstanding his
pledge to t!.e frcesoilers about framing the commit
tee ou Territories, proved himself in the hour of
need a friend to the S mth, while a united whig par
ty, with only one exception, rallied tinder the black
banner ot the enemy. We admit that Mr. Brown’s
hid to the freesoil me nbers of Congress was a most
unfortunate step in his political history, but it lias a
parallel in Mr. Fillmore’s famous tetter to “the Ab
olition Society of the County of Erie,” in 1838.
sir. F. wanted to g> ‘to Congress and so biJ for
abolition votes—Mr. Brown wished to be speaker,
and also bid for abolition support—a striking like
ness in the two cases. There is this difference,
however, between them. Mr. Fillmore rigidly ad
hered to h;s Erie pledges—opposed the admission
ofTexas on the ground of slavery—favored abolition
in the District, and did everything which a determi
ned ami-slavery man mis:ht do; while Mr. Brown
saw the error ol his way —voted on all occasions
against the Proviso, and finally, like an honest,
conscientious man, obliterated every remaining ves
tige nr resemblance of freesoil ism by voting for the
fugitive slave law. Now with this showing, we ask
eiery candid man, which of these two persons has
exhibited the most “rabid freesoifsm” —Mr. Fill
more or Mr. Brown ! — Floridian.
A Great Light added loth- Catholic. Church —WAo
is he I —The Freeman’s Journal (Catholic.) saya
that “a distinguished American Senator has just be
come a convert to the Roman Catholic faith,”
and “was received in the Catholic church on the
feast of Visitation, July 2, by his eminence, Cardi
nal Fransoni, Prefect of the Propaganda ”
This statement has the requisite points about it,
of date, place and names, to begtn with, excepting
the name of the “distinguished American Senator.”
Rumor has it here that Judge Douglas, or the “Lit
tle Giant’ot Illino.s and the champion of Young
America and “manilert destiny,” is the man. Pos
sibly it may be so, though we rather suspect that the
organ of out venerable Archbishop Hughes hag
been a little too fast in proclaiming the good tidings.
It will be remembered that Judge Douglas went out
in the same ship with the Hon. Joseph R. Chan
dler, a distinguished member of the House of Rep
resentatives, and n good Catholic, who made it a
sine qua non to receive, the parting blessings of
Archbishop Hughes before his departure. It will
also be recollected that Hon. George Briggs, an ex
.M. C., from this city, accompanied Mr. Chandler and
Judge Douglas: audit may be that Mr. Chandler
is the man who was received m the Catholic church,
in tho city of Rome, on the Fe ist of the Visitation ;
or, per adventure it may have been George Briggs,
who was baptized by his Eminence, Cardinal Fran
i eoni, Prefect of the Propaganda. Who knows 1
