Some men are very entertaining for a first interview, hot after that they are exhausted and ran oat; on a second meeting we shall find them very fiat and monotonous; they are like band organs—we have heard all their tones. “Him usd” (ron debtors).—An insol vent contributor, after reading the recent re ports of snooees io the Sea of Azoff, says that, unlike Horace, be both wonders at and envies the allied fleet, for the more Straits it gets into, the brighter are its prospects.

One of the finest orchards in America is that of Pelham Farm, at Esopus, on tbe Hudson river. It is no less remarkable for the beauty and high flavor of its fruit, than the constant productiveness of the trees. The proprietor, R. L. Powell, Esq., has kindly furnished a co- temporary with some notes of bis experiments on frnit trees, and we subjoin tbe following highly interesting one on the apple: For several years past I have been expert menting on tbe apple, having an orohard of 2,600 bearing Newton and Pippin trees. I found it very unprofitable to wait for what is termed tbe " bearing year,” and it has been my aim to assist nature so as to enable the trees to bear every year. I have noticed that from the extensive productiveness of this tree, it re quires the intermediate year to recover itself, to extract from the earth and atmosphere tbo materials to enable it to produce agate. This it is not able to do, unassisted by art, while it is loaded with fruit, and tbe intervening year is lost; if, however, the tree is snpplied with proper food it will bear every year; at least such has bean the result of my experiments. Three years ago in April, I scraped all tbe rough bark from tbe stems of several thousand trees in my orchards, and washed all tbe tranks and limbs within reach with soft soap; trimmed oat all the branches that crossed each other, early in Jane, and painted the wounded part with white lead, to exclude moisture and- pre vent deeay. I then, in the latter part of tbe same month, slit the bark by ranning a sharp pointed knife from the ground to the first set of limbs, which prevents tbe tree from becom ing bark-bound and gives the young wooo an opportunity of expanding. In November the tee was dag in thoroughly. The following year I collected from these taees 1,701 barrels of fruit, part of which was sold (n New York for fonr, and others in Lon don for nine dollars per barrel Tbe eider made from the refase delivered at the mill two dayraftor Its manufacture, I sold for three do! tors and three quarters per barrel of 32 gal lons, exelasire of the barrels. In October I manured these trees with stable manors in which the iunmonia had been fixed, and cov. ered immediately with earth. The succeeding aotamn they were literally bending to the ground with the finest fruit I ever saw, white the other ■treetja my orchard not so treated were quite barren, tbe last year being their bearing year. I am now placing round each tree one peek of ebareoa! dost, and propose in tbe spring to oover it from the compost heap. My. soil is a'strong, deep, sandy loam on a gravelly subsoiL I cultivate my orchard grounds, as if there were no trees on them, and raise grain of every kind except rye, wbieh is so very injurious that I believe three raocess- ire crops would destroy any orchard younger than twenty years. I raised test year in an orchard containing twenty acres, trees eighteen years old, a orop of Indian corn whish avera ged 140 busbote of ears to the aero.—JfathviU* whig. . ' v within them that party sobemers, and dema^ gognes reside. It is within them that great newspapers are published, and these are the po tent instruments of public opinion. The coun try, in fact, is governed by the influence of the eities—first, through commercial relations; and coeondly, through the newspapers with which the eon-itry is delnged. Tbe New York Trib une has daily and weekly, a circulation through out the United States of 150.000 copies, and not less perhaps, than 200,000 readeis.— The New York Herald has even a larger cir culation. Altogether, perhaps, there is not less than one million voters controlled by the papers of the oity of New York. The Tribune is very hostile to the American Party. The source of this may be found in the foot that it is road more by foreign-born citizens than any three papers within the country. The Herald is on all sides, and is read by men of all parties. Its influence is less, although its circulation Is larger, .and its tendency is sim ply to confuse men's notions of right and wrong. The Tribune stioke’closely to its object, and by reiteration and bold nnserupulousness, it makes profound impressions where the Herald fornishes only amusement. But accept tbe fact that the country is main ly governed by tbe eities; then look at the ta ble we have above compiled, and it will be ob ▼ions that within them there mast be instra ments subject to the will of those whose sympa thies are of of alien origin. The mere fact that the population of these ci ties are so nicely balanced, is in itself a most suggestive one. It tells the whole story—shows how demagogues find fields for their operations —how foreigners, no matter how honest or well- meaning they may be, are misted, and bow, thro' them, the country is kept half native and half foreign—why administrations at Washington flatter the alien influence and put it into office and how national “platforms” are calculated for foreign latitudes. We mean by this no disrespect to foreigners, who in all good intentions may be as earnest a friend of our laws as the native—and much more earnest than tbe nativo demagogue who flatters him, and deludes him, and misuses him for bis own selfish partisan purposes. If tbe foreign- born citisen had been kept aloof from tbe dema gogue, and not through bis inflamatory appeals, pat themselves in opposition to the natives, to day there would t are been no American party. It would not have been necessary. That party has no unkindness of feeling towards tbe foreign born but only desires to stem tbe current of wbat seems a great evil—the chief source of a detori oration in onr political morals—and looking for this end to the fature, not seeking to lessen, in any way, the rights already acquired by any •tluti We invite attention to tbe following tetter from an eye witness to tbe sate of cars belong ing to tbe 8tate Road, at Chattanooga, tbe 8th of September.

This day is called Ro. tharna, or tbe beginning of tbe temporal year, as Nitan (April) is the beginning of the eccle siastical year. This holyday is celebrated by the sound of tbe trumpet in honor of the day, and also as the anniversary (according to tra dition) of the miraculous interposition of God in withholding the arm of Abrabam when about to sacrifice his son Isaac.

In the Holy Land in the palmiest days of the chosen of tbe Land it was nsnal at this season for vast numbers to assemble at Jerusalem for the purpose of wor ship in the Temple dedicated to tbe worship of tbe Most High. It was on one of these nation al assemblages, tbongh at a different period of the year, being at the Feast of Passover occur ring in the month of April, that the last and most famous siege of Jerusalem commenced. Jerusalem was crowded with worshippers, who bad eome up to the holy city, when the Roman army, nnder the eon m&nd of Titos Vespasian laid siege to it, and in consequence of the peo ple collected within its walls unprovided with provisions, succeeded after one of the most ob stinate defences in tbe page of history in star ving men into submission.—N.

JavksW. Jones—Dear Sir:—Yours ef the 20th inst, was received at 5 o'clock this even ing, hardly giving me time to reply with auch full information as I could do with another mail. Mr. Robert Campbell, Depoty Sheriff for Hamilton county, levied on 15 ears belong ing to tbe Western A Atlanta Railroad, to sat iety one fi fa in favor of Poole A Co., and one in favor of McTier, wbieh fi fit's were from judgments, by award, of Judges at Cleveland by consent of parties. These eases were long in litigation, with others and were removed from this, (Hamilton) connty. These fi fa's were levied 28th or 29th Augnst, and adver- tised according to ovr law ten day* at three public placet in tbe town and county. They were sold tbe 8th day of September at public outcry to the highette bidder. No agent or other perron, for the Statb of Geor gia was berx; even Mr. Welsh the agent of tbe depot here, bad gone down to Marietta to bis family, where he goes every Saturday, or nearly every on*. Judge Robert M. Hooke, whom I have just conversed with, says that he attended the eale, entirely at hi* own in*ta*ce, without the knowledge of any agent or represen tative for Georgia, and bid for and bongbt them on hi* own account. Fifteen were levied on, bat two bad been misplaced, and only thirteen were sold, which brought sixteen hundred and eighty dollars, an average of one handred and twenty nine dollars and twenty three cents each. The cars were Box and Platform, but little used, were worth an average of five hundred dollars eaeh cash. Judge Hooke after the sale, voluntarily told one of the clerks in the depot, to sav to Major Welsh at bis return, that if he wotnd pay him the money again by tbe 13th, he would give back the ears to him. The money was paid on the 15th, and no extra ebarge made by Hooke, who coaid have done so, as he was not under any obligation to the parties. These judgments for 36,000 dollars, have giv en the parties plantiff a deal of trouble, and every one collected by them has been at a dis count. Thomas Calloway, President of the Oeoee Bank, has been buying them at such discount as heeonld arrange in trade with the parties. I coaid not see the Sheriff, else I conld report yon wbat balance Is dae. Greenvill, Pardae, James, Ramsey and one other, have been paid in a heavy shave. Truly yours, H. W. Massingale.

This number added to those here in 1850, gives between fonr and fire millions in the United States on the first of Jan uary last. Some, indeed, most bare died, bat that loss has been more than made np by those who have since come. In 1860 there was about one foreigner to eight natives; now there is abont one foreigbner to five natives. Haifa million of foreigners came to the Uni ted States last year—enough to settle in tbe West a new State every year, nearly as large as Georgia. Aristocratic Hcjcanitt.—Vast hypocrisy and enormous pretentions to extra humani ty generally go together. The Dutches of Sutherland, the great London friend of "Uncle Tom,” and the leading subscriber to the petition of the “Women of England” for tbe Abolition of slavery in America, has jqst permitted a poor bed-redden woman, with her new-born babe, to be turned into the open fields, for the non-pay ment to her husband’s estate of atriflingamonnt of rent 1 Humility, like charity, should always begin at home.—Lou.

Tbe Commissioners of Emigration have diverted from them their for mer sources of revenue, so that in nnmeroos in stances tbeir proprietors have been compelled to close up their business. Tbe reform accom plished has been through and universal, saving millions of dollars to the emigrants removing that influence which was gradnallybuilding op, and strengthening a monstrous system of ex tortion and fraud, and for which there long seemed to be no remedy.—Leu. Journal. A Talk with old Ocean.—The editor of tbe Nashua Telegraph, was among the company of printers who visited Lowell Island, in Salem harbor, recently. After a graphic account of the sea bathing by tbe gentlemen and ladies, the latter coming out like sea nymphs, very un like the beantifnl beings yon will meet in the drawing room after dinner,—he becomes in spired with the grandeur of the scenery, and in a style of true eloquence says: "This over; we climbed away npon the grey old rocks, and went down and shook hands with the hoary old ocean, and sat down there and had a quiet talk with him. Gravely and sol emnly he talked to us of that eternity of which he is so sublime an emblem. Hopefully and joyfully he spoke of the ‘sweet fields be yond tbe swelling flood.' And when his rolling waves came in and dashed their fury upon tbe almost sunken rock and broke in pieces there, and tbe brave old rock lifted its head again above it, unmoved, and awaited calmly for the rapidly succeeding shock npon shock, until the rising tide submerged it and the big waves rolled smoothly over where it was buried, it talked to ns of a true manhood, braving the toils, the ill and temptations of life, unharmed amid them all, and sinking at last only at the summons of inexorable death, into tbe quiet of the grave, to emerge again in a more glorious state, os surely as that hidden rock shall appear on the morrow, with its prond head erect, when the enemy which overwhelmed jo-day shall obey the great law of him who is greater than it, and return again to its deep bidden caves. And when tbe beating waves dashed wildly up upon the pebbly shore and tossed about the unstable things that gathered there, he told of the weak, the irresolute and the wicked, to whom the world has little rest to give, and as little hope for rest hereafter as they, when the waves shall return to buffet and beat them again with their irresistible fury. And when it beat with its huge breakers; all day long, the immovable carrier which stayed bis proud waves where God prescribed its bounds, and retired at night to renew the attack day by day, and every day is return discomfitted and con quered, he talked to us of the great power that is above all and auataing all. This conference with “nature in her sterner moods” over, we were prepared for the enjoyment of social inter course with being more of our nature, if not more to our teste. Ippobtant Rumor.—We have h*>ard, says the Columbus Enquirer, that tbe Georgia Railroad Company are trying to negotiate for tbe pur chase of the Montgomery ft West Point Bail road; and by altering its track to the same width of tbe Georgia Boad, make a complete unconnecting link of road from Montgomery Charleston. Tbe track of the Opelika branch will remain the same width as at present, which will require through freight to be unloaded at this place and at Opelika. This will materially effect tbe freighting business of Savannah.— Who Is at the bottom of this move, Atlanta, An gusto or Charleston ? Nasville, Sept 22. It is onr melsneboly duty to record the death of E. P. McGinty, Esq., Editor of this paper, who departed this life at 9 o’clock yesterdy morning, after » lingering illness of some took a sadden months, whiob, a few days ago, too and fatal tarn, terminating in brain fever.' His loss will he seriously felt by a wife and two small children. His large circle of personal friends, who warmly felt bis great moral worth, will be shocked at this announcement. No man was more highly appreciated by those who- knew him welL All the same ix Principle.—Gen. Wash ington fongbt a foreign foe in tbe Revolution to achieve oar freedom and independence- The American party are figbtingbting a foreign party in dtfence of that freedom and Indepen dence. Who opposed Gen. Washington and bis gallant army of patriots?—Tories, Foreign mercenaries,—traitors, and enemies to civil and religions liberty. Who opposes the Amer ican party, and their gallant and patriotic en deavors to preserve the constitntion and the liberties onr fathers gave ns? A foreign party mode np of ignorant and riotous Irishmen and Germans—natives,- demagogues and Roman Catholics,—who would crash ont Republicanism in America, and destroy civil and religious lib erty.—Citizen. Sam.—The New York "Mirror” thinks—no matter what tbe "foreigners” and "fosionsists” may say or do—"Americans” are bound to "rale American,” It says: It is scarely five years since w e beard a brazenfaced demagogue tbrea- en in the Park that 50,000 Irishmen would be relied within sound of the City Hall belL And also elsewhere German bands clamored for Ger man organisation, to impress German polity in the ideas on onr Government. Americanism thus challenged, has risen to teach these Irish men and Germans that, as snch, they can have no quarter here if they think to try tbeir nation alities in the scale against ours. As Americans we will meet and treat them as brothers, and share with them all that they can feiriy claim, but as foreigners, patting their strength against ns and ours, we will pat them down. We have the power and the right to govern onr own coun try, and woe to all who dispute the field with us. Americans will role America. Ladies 05 Horseback.—If there is on earth a more fascinating and bewitching sight than a lovely woman in tbe drawing room or bondoir, it is that same lovely woman—or, in fact, any other lovely woman—on horseback; taking it for granted, of coarse, that she knows how to ride, and sits npon the noble animal, prond of his glorious burden, like a mnse taking an airy stroll through ether npon the back of Pagsus, and not shivering and every step, like a i oden doll, fearful of falling to pieces. Female eques trianism is one of the most equisite luxuries of a high state of civilization; an exercise in which every source of healthful and pleasurable emo tion is brought into play, not only for the mo ment, but in all the movements and occupations of the body, and trhich presents the bewilder ing outline and undulating beauty of the female form in all its ravishing and intoxicating per fection. So says the Philadelphia Times, and we say, Amen. Hon. Geo. E. Badger upon the American Platform.—This distinguished North Carolina Senator and National Statesman has written a letter in which he declares, “I concur in almost every position laid down by the Philadelphia Council; their platform, in the main, meets my hearty approval, and if I live, and am able to get to the polls on the 2nd of August, I shall most certainly, and most willingly, cast my vote for Mr. Shepherd, the nominee of the American party in this Congressional Distriot.” Mr. Badger was Secretary of the Navy under President Harrison, and has been in the United States Senate most of the time since. Ho is one of the ablest and most independent of the Whig Southern statesmen. A Railroad Rascal Caught.—The La- Grange Reporter saysi The officers of Coweta county have at length succeeded in capturing the chap who has been amusing himself for some time past by burning cross-ties, placing huge stones on the track, and similar pleasant freaks to tbe imminent risk of the lives of passengers on the Atlantic ft LaGrange Railroad. The jail in Newnan being insecure, he was brought to this place and committed to the tender mercies of onr offioere until'such time as he may vary his performance by "doing the State some service” in the Pen* itontiary. The National Intelligencer.—'We folly coincide in the warm tribute lately paid by a Washington correspondent of this paper to the National Intelligeneer and its veteran edi tor. Daring tbe fifty years of the existence of that distinguished journal, it has been, in abili ty and dignity, h model of irbata po!tical paper should be. We doubt much if, in sit that time, an offensive word to a political antagonist can be found in the oolnmns of this noble journal.— Sure we are that a malignant attack upon tbe cboraoter of any man, eitfer friend or foe, has nevor defiled its bright and unsnlliod pages.— So well established is the ehareoter of the Intel- ligoneor in this respect that an imputation of ever degrading its oolnmns to the personal ma lignity or interest would bo reeoived with ashont ofinorednlity by the bitterest opponent of its lolitiesl principles. All that our correspondent ias said of tbe Intelligenoer and its illustrious editor we heartily endorse.

Eloquent and True.—The London (Eng land) Advertiser, speaking of the United States and Great Britan, nses tbe followiug language: 'Contemplate England,^ groaning with taxa tion and straggling in a sanguinary war; with her trades deranged, her populaee discontented, her Government the corrupt machine of an oligarchy, and her revenues squandered for she knows not what; and contrast her with Ameri ca—the America that British eabinet ministers treat with so mneh indifference, Whose states- men are cultivating the arts of peace, and whose commerce is gathering a golden harvest to the nation. She it is that stands boldly for ward to her eivil greatness; she presents a striking contrast to tbe military despotisms of Europe; she it is that—with her thousand miles of unguarded coast, her nnwalled cities, her meagre navy—combines within herself the elements necessary to a great military na tion, Peace reigns at her fire side; her throne is not in mourning. Her legislature are devising means to relieve an overflowing trea sury, her trade is vigorous her people are in creasing beyond e imparison in wealth, her gov ernment is at least eheap and useful. Would that we eonld say the same 1 England spends her blood and treasure in fighting the battles of nntbnnkftil neighbors. America fights only her own battles—she fights them quick and well.” Philadelphia Fashions.—A gossipping cor respondent of the New York Minor, writing from Philadelphia, tells ns the fashions, there this season are " excessively fanciful Those ugly, detestable plaids, better-suited to cover the floor than a delicately formed lady, have again come in vogue; and, in order to* show them to more advantage, whalebones or hoops are employed, which giro an extra full neSs to the skirt. Broad stripes, which, being truly American and in perfect accordance with the republican spirit of 1855, most be admired, are to be worn extensively; bat, unfortunately, the neat gaiter boot whiob sets off the pretty foot and the well formed ankle is to be discar ded, and in its place high-heeled slippers,.wittr large rosettes, are to be introduced. As regards bonnets, they appear to be growing frightfully less, and before winter sets in it is probable that a large rosette fixed on the back of the head- will take its place. Wetting Bricks.—Very few people, or erea* builders are aware of the advantage of wetting? bricks before laying them, or if they are aware-' of it they do not practice it; for of the many houses now in progress in this city there are very few in which wet brick are used. A wall twelve inches thick, bnilt of good mortar with bricks well soaked, is stronger in every respect! than one sixteen inches thick, built dry. Tha reason of this is, that if the bricks are saturated with water they will not abstract from tbe mo£> tar the moistore which is necessary to its cry stallization ; and, on the contrary, they will unite chemically with tbe mortar, and become solid as rock On the other hand, if the brioks are put np dry, the immediately take all- the moisture from the mortar, leaving it too dry' to harden, and tbe consequence is, that when’ a building of this description is taken down; or tumbles down of its own accord, the morter from it if like so mneh sand.—Scientific American. It may be interesting to some of our readers to know that those persons, or their heirs, who* served in tire revolution of Texas, of 1S36, are entitled to abont 2000 acres of land, within- tho limits of that State, and those who served ft* any of her wars since 1S36 are in titled to 640 acres.

The disease is (opposed to have been bronght there . by a vessel from the south. One Vote.—At one preoinot in Randolph county, (Ala.) out of sixty votes and upwards, says the Macon Republican, the American par ty got but one. Cloar through for Governor, Congroisahd representative, this man stood up solitary and alone, and voted for the American tioket Suoh a man, a man who stands np strong and confident in the correctness of his opinion, unswayed by the brute force of mem bers, unterrifled by threats, and unmoved by persuasions, such a man is the subject of onr most earnest admiration. How few like him there are in this great world of polities! fi&T'The editor of tbe Democrat wants to know if we sympathise with tbe Catholic Church. Certainly we do sympathise with it to some extent It has a great deal of good in it, and we have a natural sympathy for all that’s good. Besides, we could almost find it in our heart to feel some sympathy for a very bad concern cur sed with the support of such nh organ as the Louisville Dcmoc'-at. Wo have never denied or doubted that a great many of the members of tho Roman Cath olic Church are sincere Christians, and we dis cuss no questions of theology in our paper. Onr objootion to the election of Roman Catholics to offico is founded on the fact that the allegiance wbioh they consider themselves as owing to their high church fanctionaries is inconsistent with their allegiance to the Constitntion of the United States. *- Foreign Population.—Oineugo, Milwaukie and St. Louis have a majority of foreign in habitants; Cincinnati, Detroit and New Orleans, have nearly as many foreign as native bora citizens. New York counts some forty or fifty thousand more natives than foreigners, while Boston, Newark, Philadelphia and Louis ville have about one foreign resident to tw. natives. Tha < proportioa of foreigners dwell ing in Savannah is one third, in Charleston one fourth, while in IVilmiington, N.

A fu rious patient seized it, and threatened to kill With it any one who approached him. Every one then ia the ward immediately departed from it. At length the attendant opened tbe door, and balancing tbe key of the ward on hts trend, walked slowly toward the dangerous Roadman, looking intently at it. " His atten- jwtSfli” said tho attendant, was immediately at tracted. He came toward me and asked: '•Whatare you doing with that?” "I am trying to balance this bey on my band,” said I, "and I can do it; bat yon can- not ba 1 ance that chisel in that way on the baeic- of your band.” " Yes I can,” said he, balancing it carefully' and extending it towards me. " I took it off very quietly, and .without ma king any comment npon it. He seemed a little ebaurined at having lost bis' weapon, bnt hr •made no attempts to regain it, and in a short time all irritation passed away.” The Next Congress.—Senate.—There atfT sixty members in the-Senate.

Alabama and Missouri will unquestiona bly elect Nebraska mon, Pennsylvania and In-* diana will elect anti-Nebraska Senators—leav ing California doubtful.
