NOTICE TO CAPITALISTS.
THE undersigned own the Water Power and Town Site at the
Falls of the Tallapoosa River, on the west side. The situa
j lion is 35 miles from Montgomery, 20 miles from. Wetumpka,
i and 14 miles from Notasulga, on West Point Railroad—with
! Plank roeds connecting with the two former places, and one in
i course of construction to connect with the latter place. The
i Montgomery ami \V. t Point Railroad runs within five miles of
the place, and is reached by an excellent natural road. We have
now in operation a Colton .Aill, which has paid good profit:- for
’ the seven years oi ita operation, having paid for itself the first
i fourvears*. There is also a Grist and Saw Mill in successful
I operation. We have nearly completed another large Cotton
! Mill, built of the best ator.e masonry, in the most substantial
manner, with a capacity lor 10,060 spii dlee.
We propose to tbe public to open, on the 2d day of January
next, tat places we will hereafter advertise,) books for subscrip
tion to Stock in a Company styled -The Tallapoosa Makcfac
tcriko Comp iny No. 2,” tor the purpose of manufacturing Cot
ton or Wo**l, to be decided by the Stockholders. The ( barter
for said company is already obtained. We offer the large new
building, completed and ready for use, with water ready to turn
on the wheel, to drive twelve thousand spindles, and convenient
*Hs sufficient for operatives and ‘warehouses, and other neces
sary purposes, at a fair valuation, the amount to be taken in
stock in the above mentioned Company.
The necessary amount ot capital to fill the house with ma
chinerv, and put the whole business in successful operation
without incurring debts, we estimate at three hundred thousand
dollars. We offer to capitalists very superior advaMr.ga? for a
profitable investment, ss by proper management the Factory can
be in full operation, turning out Cloth, in lesri than twelve
months; and those investing car. reasonably expect quick re
turns. Our situation seem* especially designed by nature fora
Urge manufacturing city. We do not hesitate to eay that our
place possesses greater advarUges than any other in the .South,
and we believe greater than any in the Union. Our Dam and
Race are built of rock, laid in bvdralic ceraeot. \\ e have only
a portion of our water power controlled, but. enough to drive
50.000 spindles. The first floors of our buildings are 56 to TO
feet above the highest fresl ets, nr works not diatarbeo by high
or low water. The Fall isso feet in 00, with immense power
and certainty of stream. The place is unsurpass* and for its be-ltb,

O’ The following beautiful lines will touch a chord
of feelißg in the hearts of many in this community, by
whom the melancholy bereavement to which they so
touchingly allude, is borne in sad and painful recollec
tion.
There are sorrows which lind not utterance, even in
tears, but falling with a sudden blight upon the soul,
paralize faculty and sense, and eongeal the fountains
of the heart. Such was the overwhelming, crushing
bereavement of our friend. It was teared that the with
ering shock, which all could appreciate, hat only he
could realize, was too great—more than he could bear ;
and the honorable post which had just been confided to
him, as the representative of his government at a foreign
court, was regarded as offering, by its change of scene
and associations, relief to a too sensitive and over-bur
d'-ned spirit. That it has we sincerely hope. But
even there, beneath those ‘‘azure skies’’ his thoughts
are with “the loved and lost,” and his muse breathes
forth the plaint of a crushed and broken heart.— Sat.
Nnrg.
Vienna, Austria, Nov. 16, 1853.
’Tis midnight! on the azure skies
The stars their patient vigils keep ;
In deep tepose all Nature lies,
But 1, alas ! I cannot sleep!
I mourn for thee, oh ! dearest one,
Who to mine early life wast given,
My beauteous wife, who now art gone
To nurse our baby boru in heaven.
I see ihee still, as on that night—
That night ol Untold agony—
Which, in Us dark yet rapid flight,
Bore thee and hope away from me.
I see thee now ! thy visage sweet,
Thy hair with roses intertwined—
More lovely in thy winding sheet
Than aught which death had left behind.
1 thought of when that gentle brow
Wore roses to the bridal shrine,
And those dear lips, so silent now,
Moved to the vows that made thee mine.
1 called on thee, with frantic tone —
And oh ! could angels speak to men,
1 know, my beautiful, my own,
I know that thou had’st spoken then !
To say that still,in that bright sphere
Serenely blest ot God above,
Thy gentle spirit held him dear,
Whose grief was boundless as his love,
And waiting thereuntil he came,
The mother’s heart would still rejoice ,
To teach her babe his father’s name,
Who never heard that father’s voice.
The dreaded hour iiad come ! —they bid
Me look upon thee for the last!
I saw them close the coffin lid,
I heard them as they made it fast!
I saw them lower that coffin down,
And placethee,dearest, where thou art;
And still I lived ! my heart beat on !
A bealiitg but a broken heart!
And I have lived ! and I still live !
To learn with every troubled breath.
That I have suffered and survive
A something worse than human death!
My angel wife! afarfrom thee,
I count the days, the moments even !
Thou wert the hope of earth to me.
And hope lias followed .thee to heaven !

Martin Eoszta to the American People. j
Wrested a second time from the tiger grasp j
of the Austrian tyrant, I am lowing my libera- j
tion mostly to the generous will of the people j
of this Union, which awakening to the conscious- j
ness of their providential mission and destiny, |
seems determined to protect those bound to their j
fate by tbe volantary oath of allegiance, and j
to have honored the name of this c ountry by the j
cabinets of Europe, to this generous will which I
inspired the acts of those entrusted with the
Executive power, and which found its real,
manly expression in the heroic soul of Capt.
Ingraham
Touching again the shores ol America, I feel
it my first duty to give a feeble expression of that
gratitude which I foster in the innermost of
my heart toward all those who took an active,
or even sympathising part in that extraordinary
case on which the American eagle for the first
time, let lighten its thunderbolts for the protec
tion of the weak, for human and international
right. Being only an accidental cause of this
international event which saved me, my gratti
tude, even the most ardent, can be only of little
value to the American people; but the hope, ad
miration and sympathy of nations longing lor
liberty, and on tbe other hand, the confusion
and fear of presumptuous and traitor despofs,
is a reward noble in its sources, lasting in its
efficacy, and worthy of a “People of Sove
reigns.’’ Most respectfully,
MARTIN KOSZTA.

Georgia Central Rail Road. —We find in the
Savannah Republican, of the 15th inst., the An
nual report of R. R. Cuyler, President of the
Central Railroad and Banking Company, of
Georgia’ which gives a very flattering exhibit of
the affairs of that Company.
The gross earnings of the Road for the fiscal
year ending on the 30th ult., were $017,082 34,
and the aggregate expenses $407,733 04, show- j
ing a nett profit of $509,348 70. The earnings j
of the Road as compared with those of the J
previous year have fallen off $28,427 94, (which j
is accounted for by the shortness of the cotton :
crop, and the delay in sending it forward, by
the reduction in the Company’s rates of trans
portation, &c., &c.) but at the same time its nett
profits have increased $1,722 90‘ The clear
profits of the Company from Bank and Road,
for the last year, have been $570,710 48; it
lias declared a dividend of 8 per cent, and it
still has a Reserved Fund of $22,398 95.
Lamartine’s Marriage.—The story of the mar
riage of Lamartine of romantic interest.
The lady, whose maiden name was Birch, was
possessed of considerable property, and when
passed the bloom of youth she became passion
ately enamoured of the poet, from the perusal
of his “Meditations for some time she nursed
this secret sentiment in secret, anti being appri
sed of the embarrassed state of his affairs, she
wrote him, tendering him the bulk of her for
tune. Touched with this remarkable proof of
her generosity, and supposing it could only be
caused by a preference for himself, be at once
made a:i offering of his hand and heart. He
judged rightly, and the poet was promptly ac
cepted.
Political
Meeting of the Democracy at the Capitol.
A meeting of the Democratic Party took place
on Monday evening 19th inst., in the Represen
tative Chamber at the Capitol.
Dr. Philips moved that the Hon. John D’
Stell, President of the Senate take the Chair,
which was unanimously agreed to.
Mr. Stell said he thanked the meeting for pla
cing him in the high position of Chairman upon
this occasion. He was always happy to meet
his Democratic friends, to unite with them in
promoting the great interests and harmony of
the Democratic Party. ■
It was moved that Messrs. Moore, Spear, and
Wofford act as Secretaries of the meeting, and
Messrs. Cone, Dean, Camden, and Cannon
were unanimously appointed Vice Presidents
of the meeting.
Capt. A- Nelson then moved that a committee
of three be appointed to wait upon Ex-Gover
nor Cobb and request him to address the meeting
which was amended on motion of Dr. Philips,
making the committee 7 and extending the invi
tation to Gov. Johnson to be present. The
Chair appointed Messrs. McGehee, Philips,

The committee having returned in due time,
through their chairman, reported the following
resolutions :
Resolved, That the principles and sentiments
declared by the National Democratic Conven
tion of 1852, remain in unimpaired strength as
the bond which draws together the democracy
of every section of our country)!! sympathy and
union, and that the Democratic party of Geor
gia avail itself of this occasion to reiterate its
cordial acquiescence in them.
Resolved, That we recognise in President
Pierce, a long tried, patriotic and consistent ex
ponent of these principles and sentiments—that
his exposition of flieni in his Inaugural Address
and recent message to Congress meets with our
full concurrence, and having unabated confi
dence iu his fidelity to them, we pledge to his
administration our cordial support, and view its
friends as our friends and its opponents as our
opponents.
Resolved. Tbe Democratic party of Georgia
emphatically avows) its construction of the Bal
timore Platform of 1852, in reference to the
slavery question to be a distinct repudiation of
the principle of the Wilmot Proviso, in any fu
ture organization of territory now in our pos
session, or hereafter to lie acquired, and that we
cannot recognise any one as belonging to the
democratic party, who shall seek to enforce, or
shall advocate this principle so repudiated.
Resolved , 1 hat while our warmest sympathies
are due to those Noithern Democrate who
amidst tiie storm of fanaticism on the slavery
question, which has raged in past years in their
section of the Union, stood firmly by the rights
of the South we recognise as Democrats all our
fellow citizens of the North who now stand firm
ly with us on the platform of the National Dem
ocratic party, and are therefore pledged to de
fend the South from any future assaults upon her
institutions.
Resolved, That to the ascendency and integ
rity of the national democratic party, based as
it is upon the principles recognised in its plat
form, the people of the South can confidently
look, as a guarantee for the preservation of the
reserved rights of the States, within the Union,
and especially of their constitutional rights with
reference to the institution of slavery.
Gov. Cobh was then introduced to the meet
ing, and for an hour and a half livelted the at
tention of the whole assembly. It is the opinion
of every one present, that this speech of Gov.
Cobb was one of the most masterly efforts ever
witnessed here. The spirit of this address was
as fine as ihe matter of it, and no one had to
complain of one captious or ill conditionod re
mark. But on the contrary the Democrats of
every wing of the party were addressed as a
united Brotherhood, having a common interest
and a’common fate. Never have we listened to
a series of more scathing, crushing attacks upon
the devices and pretexts, of Georgia Conserva
tives. The Speaker wished to know why it was
that a whig never did justice to a northern dem
ocrat, while he was in peace and fellowship with
his party ; why was it that a few were singled
out of a vast host from New Hampshire, Illinois,
Pennsylvania and other States, and that they
should be canonized while others equally as
faithful should suffer the grossest injustice—said
Gov. Cobb their sympathy with these northern
Democrats never begins till mine ends—never
begins till an attack is made upon a Democrat
ic Administration. Upon this point, illustrating
tbe tact that the Whig party was ever a party
of expedients and not a party of principles, the
Gov. was happy beyond measure. In short, this
whole review of the policy and principles of the
Democracy of this State contrasted with so cal
led Conservatism, was most forcible and just.—
The Whigs present were discomfitteu to the
Dickinson party. He warned the whigs present
not to deceive themselves in their calculations
upon support from the Hards of N. Y. He as
sured them that in no event would that party
—so deeply radicated in the principles of demo
cracy ever go to the whigs—and if they had ever
supposed that such men as Dickinson & Bron
son would strengthen the hands of the enemies
of democracy, they did not know them. On the
other hand, Gov. Cobb warmly welcomed to
the ranks, every man however opposed hereto
fore. to the platlorm of 1852. Repentance first,
then confession of faith was all that any man
had a right to ask. To exclude converts was
the policy of revengeful men—not that of states
men or patriots. To General Pierce he awarded
a noble tribute, fie expressed a perfect confi
dence in his fidelity, truthfulness, and ability,
and he called upon us to give an ungrudging and
zealous support to his administration. Nothing
could be more satisfactory than the views ex
pressed iu reference to the present differences
among democrats, and also to our future policy.
The Resolutions after an exposition of them by
Gov. Cobb, and bis powerful advocacy, were
unanimously adopted.
Col. Thos. Cl. Howard was loudly called for
Col. Howard responded to the call in an effort
marked with great ability. He defended the
President against the charges that he was a
Free Soiler aud a Pacific Rail-road man, by re
ference to the sentiments of the President, as
proclaimed in his late Message to Congress.—
We have heard Col. Howard on several occa
sions, and alway’s with extreme plasure; and on
no former occasion have we felt more forcibly
the soundness of his reasoning ; the force of his
logic—the keenness of bis scarcasm, and the
power of his eloquence. Col. Howard, though
comparitively a young man, is an ornament to
his party, and an honor to his State.
After Col. H., concluded, the meeting ad
journed.
Nuts for Abolitionists to Crack. —Sometime
last fall, says the Maysville Express, the lion.
R. H. Stanton permitted his negro woman to
go to New Richmond, Ohio, to see her relations
at that place. The Abolitionists of that place
prevented her return, and ran her off’to Canada.
Upon her arrival there, she wrote to her mas
ter, requesting him to come for her ; that she
was unhappy and wanted to come home. Her
husband, soon after it wasascertained that she
had left, followed her, and lias joined her in
Canada. He writes home that the man who ab
ducted his wife, stole all her money and jewelry
and left her to starve. They both express a
warm desire to return home. In their newfound
land of freedom, they have to work harder and
far worse than in slave Kentucky.
[From the Marietta Advocate.]
The Lawhon Gold Mines.
Mr. Editor; Having recently visited this cele
brated locality and examined it minutely, per
haps a brief description of tbe mine would not
be uninteresting to your readers. It is located
in tiie extreme southern part of Union county,
at the base of the Blue Ridge, on the N. W.
side, in the Valley of ‘Bhilome,’ —so named by
Gen. L., after he discovered the rich veins ; but
1 would suggest the Valley of “Ophir’’ as more
appropriate—surrounded on three sides by high
mountain peaks ; on the E. and S. by tiie John
Dick Mountain, and on the W.by the Old Bald,
whose heavy summit overlooks all the adjacent
peaks. The mine consists of two veins, run
ning nearly parallel with each other, butofquite
different characteristics. One is a quartz vein,
traversing mica schist; range N. E. anti 8. W.
dip. S. E. some twenty degrees; thickness vary
ing from one to one and a half feet; and iu
length the vein has been traced for more than a
mile, and is quite distinctly marked and uniform
on the surface through out the whole distance.
This vein is of extraordinary richness; nor is
the gold confined to the vein proper, it is found
also in large quantities in the adjacent slate,
which pays largely for working. The vein it
self is easily pulverised, being a sort of rotten
quartz.
The other vein is found two hundred yards to
the East of. the quartz vein, ft is imbedded in
the same formation, but is nearly perpendicular,
if any thing pitching a little towards the other
vein, and would, 1 think, at considerable depth,
converge to the same point. This is a Talco-
Quartzosa vein, the Falco generally predomi
nating—the quartz in some places is in thin lam
inae alternating with layers of title, and at the
line of junction is generally found tiie most gold,
This vein is about! wo feet in its widest part,
and is richer in spots than the regular quartz
vein, though I apprehend the latter on account
of its uniform richness— its great length and
regular formation, will be found tbe most pro
ductive. I took pains to i*an several pans of the
pulverised rock from the veins, and some -bite,
and the result reminded me of the old mines in
California. Such a prospect there, v. e would
have marked down as good for an ounce to the
hand a day ; anti 1 know 1 have made more than
S2O per day, to the hand by workingjmuch poor
er ilirt in California, where I enjoyed every fa
cility.
The great resemblance between the geologi
cal features of the country in the vicinity of these
veins, and in California iu the neighborhood of
some of the richest places there, struck my mind
most forcibly ; the gold in both sections being
found in the mica schist series, either in veins of
quartz or tael, imbedded in it, or in detritus re
sulting from their disintegration.
Our old friend. Gen. Lawhon, has a lease on
the mine, for having discovered it, to near years
from last march ; but the fee is in ex-Gov Mc-
Donald, of Marietta, whose sagacity led him to
purchase the lands; some 800 acres, on which
the veins are, for their inexhaustible mineral
treasure, although the purchase embraces one
of the finest plantations in Union county.
A RETURNED CALIFORNIAN.
03r The “graduations of a Frerreh newspa
per,” are curious. When Napoleon escaped
from Elba and returned to France, the Moniteur
announced the event as follows:—“First an
nouncement—March 1815. The monster has
escaped from Elba.’’ Second—“ The Corsican j
dragon (Pogre) has landed at Juan.’’ Third— j
“The tiger has shown himself at Gab. The
troops are advancing on all sides to arrest Ins
progress. He will conclude his miserable ad
venturo by becoming a wanderer among the
mountains; he cannot possibly escape.” Fourth
—“The monster has really advanced as far as
Grenoble ; we know not to what treachery to
ascribe it.” Fifth—“ The tyrant is actually at
Lyons. Fear and terror seized all at his ap
proach.” Sixth—“ The usurper has ventuied to
approach the capital to within sixty hours march.
Seventh—“ Bonaparte is advancing by forced
marches : but it is impossible he can reach Par
is.” Eighth—“ Napoleon will arrive under the
walls of Paris to morrow.” Ninth—“ The Em
peror Napoleon is at Fontainebleau.’’ Tenth

Pacific Railroad in Texas. —The New Orl
eans Crescent gives a synopsis of a bill before
the Legislature of Texas, to construct the sec
tion of the Atlantic ami Pacific Railroad through
that State. The object of this bill, says the
Crescent, is to build the road without the ne
cessity of borrowing ; it gives for this purpose
twenty sections of land for each mile ; the par
ty undertaking the roatl must deposit in the
State Treasury $300,000, as a penalty or pledge
until fifty miles of the road are built; at the ex
piration of the work they acquire a title to the
twenty sections per mile. As soon as one hun
dred miles are constructed, the company is to
he released from the penalty ; the $300,000 are
to be restored to them, and the company can
go on with the work. The road will pass on
the line of the 32d parallel and will connect with
Opelousas or the Vicksburg and Shrieveport
Roads,

Letter from Archbishop Hughes.
The recent disturbance in New Y’ork, grow
ing out of the denunciations of Roman Catho
lics by a certain street preacher, by the naTne
of Parsons, has called out the following letter
from Archbishop Hughes, of the Catholic church.
It is variously commented on by the press ; some
approve, and others disapprove ofit.
Reverend Bretheren of the Clergy and Dearly
Beloved Children of ihe Laity—Health and
Benediction in Christ, our Lord.
It has been communicated to us, that certain
peisons, claiming to be ministers of religion,
have thought it proper to preach in the public
streets in such a manner as to excite against us
the hatred of our fellow citizens who are not
Catholics. The object of tills communication
is to request you to avoid all such preachings
and to leave the parties who approve of them
to the entire and perfect enjoyment of
their choice. The Catholic community of New
York have merited well of their fellow citizens
by their uniform moderation aud respect for the
laws of their country and the authorities of its
Government. I fear that this system of street
preaching is intended as a snare, and I hope
that no Catholic will allow himself to be caught
thereby. Let every man who chooses to preach
iu the public streets, preach as often aud as
long as he will. Rut as for you dear brethren,
shun the space in which his voice can be heard
lest, owing to human infirmity, a reasonable and
just indignation might tempt any one of you to
exhibit symptoms of impatience or restraint,—
which would he a signal to vour enemies, in
consequence of which the laws and rules of
peace and good order might he violated.
I do not wish you to understand, dearly be
loved brethren, that you should degrade your
selves one iota below the highest level of Ame
rican citizenship, If there be, as it has been in
sinuated, a conspiracy against the civil and reli
gious rights which are secured to you by our
Constitution and laws, defeat the purpose of
that conspiracy by your peaceful and entirely
legal deportment in all the relations of life. But
on the other hand, it such a conspiracy should
arise, unrebuked by the public authorities, to a
point really menacing with destruction any por
tion of your property, whether your private
dwellings, your churches, your hospitals, orphan
asylums, or other Catholic institutions, then, in
case ot any attack, let every man be prepared in
God’s name, to stunt! by the laws of the coun
try and the authorities of the city, in defence of
suclt rights and property. It is hardly to be
supposed that such a contingency, under our
free and equal laws, can possibly arise. Never
theless, symptoms of so baneful a purpose are
not by any means wanting,—consequences, in
so populous and wealthy a city its New York, of
a collision between parties, having for its basis
or stimulant the spite of religious hatred, wheth
er in the attack or in the defence, would be in
conceivably disastrous. \ on, dearly beloved
brethren, will be carelul to avoid even the ap
pearance ol offence in regard to measures that
j might lead to such a result. But, if in spite of
your forbearance, it should come, then it will be
lawful for you to prove yourselves worthy of
the rights of citizenship, with which you are in
vested, by a noble defence ot j’our own proper
\ ty as the same is declared sacred by the laws
of the country.
fJOHN, Archbishop of New York.

t oat of Arms for a State Seal, suggesced by Governor
Collier.
The Coat of Arms designed for a State Seal,
- makes the Seal represent on tiie left, an Indian
| war chief sitting on the earth, smoking the cal
; umet of pence, with Iris iio v., quiver, and club by
j iris side. In the centre is engraved the plow,
• loom, and anvil, ensigns of civilization. On the
right is the figure ot an Indian warrior, with a
tomahawk, ami scalping knife fastened around
i him, and a rifle iu his hand, erect and retiring,
with bis head turned partly around, as if he Xvere
casting a look upon the objects from which he
was receeding. At the bottom is the motto:—
—•’Virtue and Industry.” At the top, and over
looking all, is the eye of Omniscience.
This design was suggested by the history of
Alabama. An Indian war chief with his follow
ers driven from the land of their fathers, after
long and perilous wanderings, came within our
borders, and the chief, in hopes of here finding
peace and plenty for himself and his people, sits
himself down upon his mother, the eartli—lays
iiis bow, quiver and war club by bis side, and ex
claims, “Al-A-Bntna!’’ which in his language
means, “Here we rest.” Then taking the calu
met of peace, lie places it in his mouth. The
adventurous Caucasian, in obedience to tho
mandate of an all controlling power, disturbs the
repose of the red man, whose life has been one of
inaction and indolence. As the white man
turns the virgin soil with his plow, weaves the
web, and makes the anvil to resound with the
hammer, the Indian fastens the tomahawk and
scalping knife around him, and with bis rifle, a
weapon of destruction, which helms obtained
during his sojourn in Alabama, be leaves aland
consecrated by the graves of his fathers, and finds
an abiding place still farther towards these//tag
sun Ihe c.est and the motto indicate that the
result is the achievment of “Virtue and Indus
try,” guided by Omniscience.
Numerical Lau- of the Sexes. —The last cen
sus developes sytne curious facts. It fixes the
numeric:.l law of the sexes thus :
1. There are more males than females born,
by about 4 per cent.
2. At 20 years of age, this preponderance is
entirely lost, and there are more females than
males.
3. At 40 years, the balance is again the oth
er way, and there are more males than females.
4. At 70, the sexes are about even, and ihe
ultimate age of the human being is reached
without any decided advantage to either sex.
Between 70 and 100 years of age, there are
15,311 more white women than there are males;
being more than 5 per cent of the whole num
ber. Beyond the age of 40 years, the proba
bilities of longevity are much greater for Amer
ican women than for men. This contrasts sin
gularly with the fact, that the physu/ue (relative
ly) of American women is nte tor to that of
American men. That fact, as is shown, how
ever, tells tremendously on women between the
ages of 20 and 40, when their mortality is
very great.
The longevity of some women is very extra
ordinary. There are four hundred and thirty
American women above one hundred years of
age.
