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.

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.

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 ruvum Cinbs, ittisjcxllmteouß. I From the Savaunab Courier.] Teachers’ Convention. Griffis, (Ja„ August 10,1553. 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 lumbus, President, Rev. F R. Goulaing, B’.M.-tilon President Witlich, ofM tdison and Rev.Mr. Reid’, Vice Presidents, O. L. Smith, Rurotding Secre tary, VV. Williams, of Madison, Cot responding Se cretary, and H. E. Morrow, of Gritlin, Treasurer. The following gentlemen constitute the Executive Committee of the Association : Prof. Darby, Prof. Mvera, Prof. Joseph E. Willet, ot Mercer Univer sity, L. Le Taste, of Augusta, and Rev, Mr. Martin of Gritlin. 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 (la.)

A Woman Kissing Cask— lt appears that a young lady of Wakefield, England, rejoicing in the name of Lucy Scrle, was recently brought before a magistrate, charged with an a-sault, though not of an aggravated nature. Miss Lucy, in open dnv light and in t! e open street, of (em; ted to kiss s surly inn keeper of Wakefield. Her lawyer, in justifica tion of the offence, quotes Burns’s couplet : “If a body meet a body coining through the rye. If a body ki*s a body, need a body ery 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 “9bs!l I cot this loin of mntton ssdulewwet’’ said a gentleman, oarving. “No,” said his friend, “cut it bri dtewise, tor then we may all chance to get a ht ia oar moat be,” 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 land ‘philanthropy’ so frequently flies off the han dle,then there’s no accounting for them on anv other, short of Satanic depravity, A knot of sons and daughters of the pilgrims—religiously educa ted—intelligent to the point of speaki g w ith many tongues—have dwelt in their distempered fancies upon the horrors of Southern sen i tide, until they meet and hurl their anathemas ..gainst Sabbath, church, Constitution, Union, Wedlock, and every phase of religious or social organization, which they fancy are either mixed wiih, sustain, counte nance, or are built upon that ‘horrid’ institution,and solemnly declare they would dethrone the Almigh ty himself, if they thought he sanctioned the Bible declarations concerning human slavery. But look at their lantern-jaws—their spindling limbs, ghastly faces—hear their coughing and wheezing! They are sick, bodily as well as menially. They are vent ing their vapors as well as their blasphemy.” Oenvitlioti ol Words.

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 ?

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.
