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 ! H. R. J. 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.

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, Ward, Latham, Redding, Guerry and .

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 Yesterday evening, his Majesty, the Emperor, made ids public entry, and arrived at the ’Puffe ries—nothing can exceed the universal joy !” 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, 03“ A fine new passenger car was burned by some malicious person on Sunday afternoon the 11th inst. at Atlanta. It belonged to the State Road. [TERMS, $2 00 IN ADVANCE. 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. New York. Dec. 15, 1853. [From the Advertiser &. Slate Gazette.] 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. I Twelve thousand hogs at last accounts, had been shipped this season on the Western and Atlantic Railroad from Chattanooga. Number 52,
