Fadeless is a Loving Heart.
Sunny eyes may loss their brightness.
Nimble feet forget their lightness,
Pearly teeth may know decay,
Raven tresses turn to gray,
Cheeks he pale, and eyes be dim,
Faint the voice, and weak the litnh ;
But though youth and strength depart,
Fadeless is a loving heart.
Like the little mountain llower,
„ Peeping forth in wintry hour.
When the summer breath is fled.
And the gaudier tlow’rets dead ;
So when outward charms are gone.
Brighter still doth blossom on,
Despite Time's destroying dart,
Tho gentle, kindly, loving heart.
Wealth and talents will avail,
When on life’s rougli sea we sail ;
Yet the wealth may melt like enow.
And the wit no longer glow’—
But more smooth we’ll find the sea,
And our course the fairer be,
If onr pilot, when we start,
Bo a kindly, loving heart.
Ye in worldly wisdom old—
Ye who bow the kuee to gold,
Doth this earth as lovely seem,
As it did in life’s young dream.
Ere the earth had crusted o’er
Feelings god and pure before—
Ere ye sold at mammon’s mart,
The best yearnings ofthe heart ?
Grant, Heaven, my earnest prayer.
Whether lile of ease or care,
Be the one to mo assigned,
That each coming year may find
Loving thoughts and gentle words.
Twined within my bosom’s chords.
And that age may hut impart
Riper lreshness to my heart.
Aa Apology for an Editor.
We do not often trouble our readers with the hard

it and are content with its joys and its sorrows. But

The Supreme Court of Georgia.
Decatur, Ga., August 17,185-4.
Messrs. Editors— The Supreme Court is now in session at
litis place—quite a numiier of gentlemen of the Bar are in
attendance on it. On Tuesday morning, the second day of
the Court, one of the Bank cases that have created some
feeling about Columbus and elsewhere, carne up for argu
ment. Mr. Dougherty, for the plaintiffs in error, when the
case was called in its order, got up and argued that it was
one of those Bank cases, and requested Judge Benning to
retire from the Bench during its argument and considera
tion, because he had been of counsel in some ofthe cases
involving the same legal principles as those in the case then
to be argued, and that he too had relatives and friends
whose interests were at stake in the issue of that case, or in
other cases of a precisely similar character, and involving
the same legal points, and which cases would or might be
determined t>y the decision to be made in that case. Judge
Benning though refused to retire from the Bench, or to de
cline to consider and determine the case, and said in sub
stance that his connection with those bank cases was used
against him in his election to the Bench of the Supreme
Court, and that he had pornised not to preside in any case
where lie was employed in the Circuit Court, and he should
adhere to that decision ; but that ho would preside in and
adjudge the cases wh .-re he had not been of counsel; and
ns this was one of those cases, he should preside in it. Mr.
Dougherty contended that the decision of this case would as
certainly determine the other cases where Judge B. was of
counsel, as if these cases in which he was employed were
then before this court to be decided- Judge Benning
though adhered to his determination to preside and adjudge
the case; and it was argued—the argument having con
cluded yesterday at 12 o’clock, a day and a half having
been consumed in that argumeut. The Court pronounced
no opinion in the ease this^norning.

“Spaniards—A series of deplorable mistakes may have

contrary to the welfare and liberty of those who are my

“The sacrifices of the Spanish nation to sustain its lib

can represent the principles of liberty, without which
there are no nations worthy of tho uume.
“Anew era, based on the union of the people with
the monarch, will dispel, even to the last shadow, the sad
events which I, first of all, desire to obliterate from your
annals.
“I deplore, from my innermost soul, the misfortunes
that have occurred ; and, with an unwearying solicitude,
I will strive to make them forgotten.

desire that it shall manifest its will by the organ of its le

and offer every guarantee that may firmly fix its rights and

“The honor of that throne is your honor, Spaniards !
My dignity as Queen, as woman, and ns mother, is iden
tical with the dignity of the nation that once made my
name the symbol of its liberties. I fear not, therefore, to
intrust myself to you ; I tear not to place iny fate under
he shield of your loyalty, because 1 firmly believe that I
make you arbitrators of your own honor and of the safety
of vile country.
“The appointment of the Duke de la Victoria as Pres
ident of Council of Ministers, and my complete adhe
rence to his ideas, having for their object the general hap
piness, will be the best pledge of fulfilment of your noble
aspirations. ‘
“Spaniards ! you may make the happiness and glo.vof
your Queen by accepting those which she desires ior you
and prepares for you in the innermost recesses of her ma

is to direct my councils, the ardent patriotism he on so

your mind, nor what were my intentions. ‘To prepare the
salvation of the country, brought to the brink of an abyss
| by the condnct of Count San Luis’s Ministry ; to open the
: road which the Duke de Victoria, called by your Majes
ty to form the Government, will follow with the qualities
that elevate and distinguish him; to return, in short, to
the liberal system, so wickedly forgotten by men who
owed so much to it—such was your Majesty’s beneficent
design ; such my notorious, my necessary decision.
“I did not even think it indispensable to'sav thus much
in a document of this kind, because I was sure that nor
body in the Spanish nation could doubt it.
“Your Majesty knows that understanding the delicate
but transitory mission that had been conferred upon me,
I have striven to abstain from all that was not especially
urgent, leaving to General Espartcro the lull liberty of
his acts, and the honor that may ensue from them, and
not compromising his policy by measures that may de
mand the elements of time and meditation.
“Nevertheless, Senora, there is one measure that ap
pears to me urgent, which I conceive cannot longer be
delayed, and which I submit to your Majesty in the ac
companying project of decree. The reasons for it are
obvious : your Majesty’s intelligence will comprehend
them, and your heart, J am convinced, will already have
prompted them. It is necessary to efface that which we
all wish had never occurred, and to enter fully and fairly,
never again to abandon it, upon the true path of our sab
vation. Evaristo San Miguel.”
The decree ran thus:
In consideration of tho reasons laid before me by my
interimistie‘Minihter of War, and with the greatest satis
faction of my mind, I have decreed the following—
DECREE.
