FEDERAL 1.1IOS OFFICE, (Motel to
the Corner of Hancock and Washington streets,)
OPFOWTK THE cor JIT IIOOF.
Oclf'thar|ir I'niTmily,
We understand that Judge Nisbet has consented
to address the successful Dcelairaers in the Soph-
inore Prize contest, at the approaching com-
mencmcnt. Few men could be found to discharge
this office with more honor to the Class, the occa
sion, and the Institution.
Fine Pran.
Our townsman, Maj. Harris, has presented us
with several varieties of Pears, which we consid
ered unusually fine. He gave them to us to eat,
not to puff: and we only refer to the fact as afford
ing a worthy example, which might be imitated
with profit to others. Maj. Harris is an amateur
fruit raiser; and at his country place, “Pomona,"
he is cultivating as fine fruit—Pears, Piumbs, Apples
and Peaches, as can be found anywhere. Go
reader and do likewise; don't say you can’t; you
can.

A lovely niiflit!
To sco a know-Nothing paper eating fire with
a perfect gusto, because Southern Democrats
voted for the Conference Kansas bill, and thou to
see the same paper trumpet the patriotism of such
deserters as Crittenden and Bell, sky-high! To
hear such a paper denounce Douglas as a traitor,
.- nd tli. n denounce Southern Democrats as traitors,
for voting for a measure which Douglas and all
the Abolitionists voted against. The Recorder
stands for the picture. As our neighbor lias be
come so savagely cruel on those Democratic Con
gressmen who voted for the English hill, why
don’t ho advocate Douglas over Crittenden? He
might make something by the exchange; No
principle is at stake, and with Douglas’ help, may
be Sam might ho resurrected. Who knows? The
hair of the dog is said to he goed for the bite.

A notice of the change in the editorial depart
ment of this paper, was written for our last issue,
hut was by some means overlooked. Col. Tennent
Lomax has retired, and Messrs P. H. Colquitt and
James W. Warren will take charge of the chair
editorial. Mr. Ellis as publisher, is still connected
with the paper. Col. Lomax was a courteous and
able writer, and we shall miss him greatly in the
fight we have to wage against tho enemies of
Democracy. Mr. Warren wo do not know; but
Capt. Colquitt's pen is quite familiar; he having
had the editorial department of the Times & Sen
tinel under his direction for more than a year.—
We extend to Col. Lomax our best wishes for his
prosperity in the new field to which his inclinations
have brought him; and we hope the new- editors
may find much more pleasure and profit in tlieir
present position than usually attends the labors of
political editors in the same field.
Brother Ciisby, of Macon, hoisted tho Eagle
bird, and brother Rowland, also of Macon, took

close to any great occasion, like Christmas, or 4th

If the Union intends the “buzzard” as an em
blem of some of its political principles, it need not
wait to catch a “white” one. Runup theblack
one—it will answer quite as well, if not better.

JI**. Hilt iiml (hr English llill.
Wc were in error in stating,as we did last week,
that Hou. Joshua Hill voted for the English Con
ference hill. Mr. Hill was not in Washington at
tin* time. Wc were led into the error.from the fact
that 'lie entire representation from Georgia present,
voted for the bill; but we forgot that Mr. Hill had
to come home to consult his constituents as to
whether he should vote for or against the Confer
ence hill. Mr. Hill, however, paired off, we be
lieve, with an opponent of the .bill, if our memory
serves us right. This would indicate that had he
been in his seat, ho would have voted as did his
colleague, Mr. Trippo. As the Recorder considers
t lis English bill, the tiles’. Black Republican Docu
ment, and as Mr. Hill is, at least, not above sus
picion as to his advocacy of the ‘document,’ will the
Recorder cali on Mr. Hill for an explanation? We
should he pleased to hear from Mr. Hill, as we do
not wish to misrepresent him, and vve are anxious
to understand his true position on this measure,
that we may also do full justice to tho >outhr.ru Re
corder. If Mr. Hill remains silent, we shall con
tinue to understand him as favoring tho bill of Mr
English, and, of consequence,in the same catego
ry as the Recorder places those democrats and
“Americans" who voted for the bill—viz: a sup
porter of a vile Black Republican document. Our
neighbor, certainly, can never support Mr. Trippe
ngain. If he does, he supports a man who has
voted for a tile Black Republican document, and be
comes as guilty of treason to his section, as he
makes his friend and brother “Americau” Mr.
Trippe.

Got bin Hat null I,eft.
Our piscatorial friend, the Editor of the Wire
Grass Reporter, on the 4th, or rather the 3d, of
July, departed from liis customary line, by a de
liberate, wilful and inallicious attempt to cut the
“pigeon-wing after the fashion of Eighteen Hun
dred aud Thirty-five. But lie was distanced in
that field, by a competitor, whose lurely licks took
the putty out'n the crack so elegantly that the
Judge was forced to take his hat aud leave. Hear
him :
“Partners for a cotillon.”
Forgetting our age, v. e rushed forward, secur-
ed a partner and took our place at the head In
a few minutes we were cutting the pigeon-wing in
the style most approved in the year oi grace Eigh
teen Hundred and Thirty-Five.
When the music became quick and very exhil-
cratiug, we even let off a few stitihes of that old
aud popular piny-woods pas seal, “l'addy catch a
rat.” Jeff was in the same sett, and taking on
quite as extensively as ourself. The fact is we
were getting on swimmingly, until looking over
into another set, we saw a stout boy bearing our
name, aud of whom we claim tiie paternity, ma
king the same licks, and a number of others of
a more modern date. We then remembered that
we were getting old, and began to feel a little
weak in the knees. When llie bow was tapped
upon the hack of the violin, therefore, and part
ners seated, we slyly laid hands on our hat, aud
made our hegira homeward.”

Editorial Corrr«p«ndrucr of the Federal
I'nion—Front Savaanah to New York.
The departure of a large steamer loaded with
passengers for a distant port is always an impor
tant event to many persons. It is important both
to those who are about to embark, and trust them
selves to the caprices of a stormy and treacherous
ocean, and to their friends who are left behind
Having engaged a State Room and deposited our
baggage, we had leisure to contemplate the scene
around us. Carriages were continually arriving
loaded with passengers and their baggage, aud
frequently among the passengers friends come to
see them off, and to bid them a long, perhaps, a
final adieu. Among the passengers many were
intent on business, some in pursuit < f health, and
a few, very few, were travelling for pleasure.
I lies - travelling on business were anxious to start,
and seemed to begrudge every moment that ilie
steamer lingered at the wharf. Those intent on
pleasure were making arrangements for their com*
fort during the voyage, or enjoying the prospect
from the deck of the steamboat. Some of the in
valids looked melancholy, and their parting with
tlieir friends was very tender and sad. Above us
the steamer Commerce was taking on hoard
freight and passengers for Baltimore. Below us,
the Florida, a large side wheel steamer, bound for
New York like ourselves, was continually receiv
ing additions to her crowded decks. It is nearly
Z o'clock, and the time for starting is at hand.
First the Commerce casts loose from her moorings
and floated gracefully past us down the river;
soon after the report of a gun from the Florida
ave us warning that she was getting under way.
and the foaming water at her stern gave sure in
dications that she too was off. And now came
our time; the word was given, all who were not
hound for New York must go on shore. The last
adieu, aud the final shake of the hand is given,
the signal gun is fired, the fastenings are cast
loose; at Z o'clock, P. M., precisely, the propelle r
Montgomery started on her way to New York,
bearing with her, besides her ordinary crew, about
one hundred passengers, like John Gilpin’s fami
ly “ail agog to dash through thick and thin.”
We are now on our winding way down the river,
all anxious to take a parting look at the city of
Savannah, which is fast receding from onr sight.
The hanks of the river below Savannah may lie
interesting to Agriculturists and for rice growers
in particular, for there are several rich plantations
to he seen from the deck of the steam boat, hut
the scenery on this part of the river, is neither
beautiful nor sublime. On approaching the bar
at the mouth of the river, every one is attracted
by the appearance of the water. On the one side |
of a straight line are the muddy waters of the
river, on the other rolls the blue waters of the
ocean. This then is the dividing line between
between the dominions of the River God, and
those of Old Neptune; when we passed that line
we considered ourselves fairly at sea. The shores
of Georgia soon receded from our view, the blue
out lines of some Islands on the coast of South
Carolina rem ined in sight some time longer, hut
at last they too were lost in the distance, and now
on every side was nothing but water and sky.
Soon after losing sight of the land, a bright object
appeared on the Northern horizon, which the un
initiated supposed was a ship on lire, but which
the captain informed us was a light boat anchored
on a shoal, to warn seamen of their danger. The
keeper of tins light boat must lead a solitary life,
shut out as he is from all the world by a dreary
waste of water; he has, however, the satisfaction
of knowing that he is out of the reach of snakes,
of Sheriffs, small pox and mad dogs. Having a
Clergyman on board, at 8 o’clock on Saturday
night we were invited to attend prayers in the
large cabin. As the weather was warm, the room
crowded, aud the vessel rolling considerably many
were very sea sick before the services closed-
Sunday morning rose beautifully upon us, the sea
was calm, the sky serene, two or three vessels
were in sight, but at a great distance from us;
many who had gone to bed the night before sick
and disconsolate, rose this morning well aud in
fine spirits. At 10 o’clock we had Divine service
on the deck of the steamer under an awning.
I know of no place under Heaven better calcu*
laled to inspire awe and reverence for the Supreme
Being, than tho deck of a ship on a calm day in
the midst of the ocean. The officers and crew of
the ship, and nearly all of the passengers attend
ed preaching. The services were solemn and ap
propriate, and appeared to produce a favorable
impression upon all present. It was generally
understood that we should pass Capo Hatteras
between 10 and 12 o’clock on Sunday night.—
Doubling Cape Hatteras is generally the great
event in a voyage from Savannah to New York-
It is there that seamen generally expect azdiange
in the weather, and there we expect to meet tli
steamers coming from New Y'ork. The Captain
laid he should run in sight of the light on tho
Cape, and nearly ail of the passengers, the ladie
included, agreed to keep watch on deck and help
the Captain double the Cape. All eyes, of course
were turned in the direction in which it was sup
posed the light would first appear. All of the
steamers on the coast we believe at night carry a
lantern at the fore top. One of the officers of the
boat who had been aloft with a spy-glass, lookin
out for the light, came down and made a report to
the Captain—suddenly three rockets one after
another shot up from our deck and rose high into
the air. We then understood that our mate had
discovered one of the returning steamers, and
our Captain was saluting her. In a short time
away in tin* North West three rockets shot up ap
parently out of the dark waters. Those on board
the returning boat had seen our signal and return
ed tho salute. Three times that night was this
beautiful salutation passed between our boat a
tiie returning steamers, as one after another they
passed us, though none of them near enough to
The Blues' Dinner.
With a number of other invited guests we sat
down to an excellent dinner given by the “Bn'ES”
on the 3d inst. After the table was chared, the
following toasts were drank. The Miliedgeville
Brass Band was in attendance, and gave the com*
pany a treat in their way:
REGULAR TOASTS.
1st. The Day and Event we celebrate: Glorious
in the past, honored at the present: May the
blood of our Fathers shed on that memorable oc
casion be the bond and cement of our Union.
2d. Washington: as years distance the immortal
Patriot from our view his wisdom and virtues
beam with increased effulgence—a sun to the po
litical world imparting vigor to the plants of
Freedom.
3rd. The Heroes of 1776 : May their memories
ever be hallowed in the hearts of their country
men.
4th. The Union : Ail fears for its safety are vain
so long as its burdens and blessings, are equally
distributed, and the rights of each Section, ac
knowledged and respected.
5th. The President of the United States.
6tn. The Governor of Georgia.
7th. Georgia: May her churches, schools and
colleges he the monuments of her greatness, and
her fair escutcheon remain forever untarnished.
Stli. The Army and Navy: In ,var a sure pro
tection of our National honor. In peace “The
Lion in repose.”
9th. The Star Spangled Banner: May its stars
light to the goal of happiness, and its stripes lash
its enemies into a proper respect for us.
10th. The Orator of the Day: Modesty is the
distinguishing feature of his mind. Modesty and
worth are inseparable.
IItli. The Reader of the Day: We love and
honor him for his kindness of heart and lofty pa
triotism.
12th. fhe Press : Sentinels on the Watch-tower
of Liberty, Guardians of the rights of the People,
its motto should be, Country not Party.
13th. The Ladies: They pay Domestic duties
without a tariff, elect without votes, govt rn with-
aut laws, and when free from “entangling alli-
onces” are the unchanging friends of Union.
puff for Governor Brown, or a thurst at his prede
cessor?—Journal S( Messenger.
Yes, we can. Gov. Johnson did make the Road
pay. Gov. Brown has made it pay; and if Gov.
Johnson’s management did not make it pay so
much as it now pays, it was not his fault: He could
neither control freights nor travel. The article
was “intended" for the very purpose it accomplish
ed, viz: to gratify tho Democracy, and to make
the enemies of Gov. Brown show their teeth —
The Journal S( Messenger barked first—he was the
worst hurt of the whole pack.

our polite steamboat Captains salute as they pass
each other on the great highway of waters. The
light on Cape Hatteras at length appeared—we
had doubled the cape, aud the passengers all re*
tired to rest. During Monday several sail ships
came in sight of us, hut none of them near
enough for us to speak them. When wo arose

was in sight; as wc approached New Y’ork a dense

tho sailors say; it rose up from the water aud dis
covered to our view one of the most enchanting
pictures our eyes ever beheld. The outer harbor
of New Y’ork lay before us. On our right hand
lay Long Island in all its beauty, on our left arose
Staten Island with its numerous villas and beau
tiful country scats of the New York merchants,
perched upon its hills; near the water stood the
forts and batteries that guard the entrance int
New Y ork harbor, whilst over the waters of the
hay floated in every direction more than a hun

We doubt whether the world can furnish a nror,.

‘ My eyes!” said the Potato to the Lemon, “how
biliuus-you look to-day ! Y’our skin is as yellow
as saffron. What can he the matter 7 ”
“Lemon. Acidity of stomach—a family com
plaint of ours.
“Potato. Why don’t you take advice?”
“Lemon. Advice! You know my poor dear
brother dropped off the other day; and without
being allowed to rest on liis mother earth, his
body was snatched up by a member of the Bar,
who, instead of acting legally, dissected him—
absolutely cut him up. ‘Alitor the public good,’
said the rascal, as he squeezed out poor Lem’s
last gastric juices. Take advice, quotha! It he
was not allowed to enter a plea in Bar, what may
I expect from Doctors’ Commons ?”
“Potato. That’s true. I only hope poor Lem,
though he was in liquor at the time, had strength
enough to give him a punch under the ribs: he
was a rum customer to the last, no doubt—hut I
must say I wish his skin had been fuller. Do you
attend the meeting to-night ?
“Lemon. I feel rather soured at present. I met
Running Vine just now with the invitations, and
he hinted that there would he a squeeze, in which
case I should decline, as they might press me to
furnish drink for the company—in tact, it is al
ways so w hen they call any of my family to their
aid" But now, to be serious, my sweet, sweet
Potato, if you should go. let me advise you not to
get yourself into hot water: you’ll be dished to a
certainty if you do. Onion, the strongest friend

sort of sympathy; whereas the removal of your

pity: ‘Lovely in death, would they say—‘Pallida
mors,’ etc. Indeed, for my own part, 1 think you
do look better in white. Oh! another thing I
would say : Keep out of Horse-Radish's compa
ny; he will he sure to get into a scrape, a greater
one than lie imagines, perhaps—and as for Onion,
(don’t let this leak out,,) 1 fear the rope will end
him. I should not like to get into a stew with
him—so, mum ! Ah ! here come Plum aud Pear.
How savage they look !
“Pear. How* are you, my dear Lemon? Do de
cide this question between Plum and me. On re
ferring to Johnson, we find my numerical value
estimated at two only, while the rascally Plum is
set down fora hundred thousand. Its too ab
surd : there must be some mistake.”
“Plum. None at all. Please to recollect. Sir,
that I weigh a stone more than you.”
“Pear. From that I must beg leave to secede.”
“Lemon. Stop this fruitless wrangling, or I
shall he tempted to skin you both, to get at the
truth. I'm not in spirits. As for you, Mr. Plum,
no more of your tart remarks; and Mr. Pear, if
you wish to be preserved, the less jarring the bet
ter. Here comes our good friend Raspberry. How-
do you do, my line fellow, and where have you
been?”
‘Raspberry. In the most infernal jam you
ever saw* : ’lion honor, ’twas insupportable.
What’s the news?”
“Lemon. There is a report which Bush lias
raised, quite current here, that he served you up
in sweet style last evening at tea table, before a
party of ladies; and the cream of the joke is,
that you were considerably down in the mouth.
“Raspberry. Mere envy. You know he eulti
vates the affections of Miss Rose Geranium, (a
sweet creature, by-the-by. and has grown very
much lately;) hut finding that she preferred me, he
became saucy, which induced me to beat him into
a jell v, and send him in that state to his friend I cni-
son, who lives near Fulton Market.
“Lemon. (Ruts his hands on hips, aud guffaws.)
Bravo! What a funny limb of Satan you are.
But Ras., have you seen old Gardener lately ?
He’ll give you a deuced trimming when he meets
vou. He says you ought to have done sowing
your wild-oats, aud that, although it goes against i n ,- lnor j le ; rs of
liis grain to complain of your treading on his count „ deceased,
corns, he can’t stand it any longer, and must -
peach.”
“Raspberry. Peach, will he ? And are these
to be. the fruits of my bearing with him so long ?
He has been picking at me for some time ; and yet
it was but yesterday, the ungrateful old rake, that
I got him out of a scrape with Mr. Horse-Radish,
who, after seizing him by the nose, threw a musk-
melon at his head, exclaiming with an equestrian
laugh: ‘That ought to make at least one mango.’
And go lie did, that's certain, all to squash.”
“Lemon A challenge will ensue, doubtless.
“Raspberry. By no means. No one knows
better than Gardener that Horse-Radish shoots like
the devil in the spring, and one fail lit- has already
received from bun. It would be unreasonable to
But drop the subject, for here comes Mrs.
Tree, who seems to w ear a very cypressy look.
“Mrs. Tree. Good morning, gentlemen. Y'ou
have heard, no doubt, that I have lost those young
limbs of mine. Well, perhaps it’s for the best:
offsprings are a great trouble and expens". and, to
speak the truth, 1 should pine more at the luss of

The last Federal Union has a very brief, brag
ging article, with reference to Gov. Brown and the
State Road. It says:
“We learn that the State Treasurer received $25,-
000 from the Treasurer of the State Road, as the
nett earnings of the State Road, for the month of
June. More bad news for the enemies of the State
Administration,”
Can the Federal Union answer this question?—
What was the reason the State Road did not pay
in similar amounts, under the administration of
Gov. Johnson! Was this article intended as a
trunk. Fiue growing weather, this. Adieu
“Pear. Pine more.! I should say she is one of
tiie pi lie-/,wots. There is very little of the weep
ing-willow about her.”
“Lemon. No, the stingy old creature! No doubt
she’d have been cut down by the loss of her trunk
—she’d have been chop-fallen then. Instead of
pining, she talks sprucer than ever. I don’t be
lieve she even went to the expense of having the
poor little things inoculated ; a very little matter
would have given them succor. She said the other
day she was trying bark on them. But I vow,
lu re comes Aspen. Aspen, why so agitated ? Is
there any thing strange in the wind ?”
“Aspen-Tree. I’m in such a flutter, that I can
scarce tell you of our common danger. But in a
word, whether it was on account of our extreme
admiration for the Woods and the Forest, or that
the Chesnuts and Oaks began to rail at him, and
give offence, it has entered the head of Hickory
which is very high just now—to root me out,
and remove my trembling deposits from the bank
on which I was reared by tlm side of Schuylkill.
Supplication is useless. Old Hickory will not
bend, though we tell him of our breaking—and ad
vise all of you, who, like me, have branches, to
ut and run.
“Lemon. My skin stands a double chance to be
saved—for if I cut, I shall surely run. But are
you serious ?
“Aspen-Tree. Serious ! I tell you the sooner
yon cut stick, the better. Hickory runs wonder
fully. I’m oft’.
“Lemon. Gentlemen, are you ready for the
question? All in favor of taking our leaves, will
please bow.” [They haw unanimously anti exeunt
as fast as their limbs can cany them ]
