A word spoken in random often proves of more utility than tin; best concerted plans. Hence it hap pens that fools olten prosper, when men of talents fail. As > n illustration of this assertion, we will present our readers with the following story from an old French periodical work called Forfeits Redeemed. A poor simple peasant, of the name of Cricket,be ing heartily tired of his daily fare of brown bread mid cheese, resolved whatever might be the conse quence to procure himself, byho*korby er> ok three sumptuous meals. Having taken this courage oua and noble resolution.the next thing was to devise a plan to put it into execution, and here hi3 good fortune befriended him. The wife of a lien nabob in the neighborhood of his cottage, during the ab sence of her husband, lost a valuable diamond She offered a great reward to any person who would recover it, or give any tidings of the jewel, but no one was likely to do either ; lor three of her own footmen of whose fidelity she had not the smallest doubt had stolen it. The loss soon reached our glutton’s ears—i’ll go, cries he, ‘i’ll say lam a con juror, andl will discove* where the gemis hidden, on condition o: first receiving three splendid meals'. It shall fail, its true. What then ? 1 shall be treat ed as an impoetor; my back and sides may suffer for it, but my hungry stomach will be filled ? ’ To concert a sheme and put it into practice, was but the work of a moment: the nabob still was ab sent. The lady anxious for the recovery of her ring, accepted the terms; a sumptuous dinner was prepared; tne table was covered with the richest viands; expensive wines of every sort were placed on the side buard. Wcraay think how he ate. An attentive footman one of the secret thi ves, fill and him with with drink; our conjuror, gorged, exclaim ed: “’Tis well ! I have the first!’’ The servant trembled at the ambiguous words and ran to his companions—-be has found us out, dear friends; he is a cunning man; he said he had the first; who could ne mean but me !’ ‘lt looks a lil tie like it,’ replied the second thief: ‘l’ll wait on him to night; as yet you may have mis taken his meaning;sbould he speak in the same strain we must decamp to-night.’ At uight a supper tit for a court of aldermen was tet before the greedy Cricket, who filled his punch till he could eat no more. The second footman watched him all the while When satisfied, he rose, exclaiming— ‘ The second is in my sack and cannot escape me.’ Away flew the affrighted robber. ‘We ore lost!’ he cried; ‘our heels alone can save us ‘ ‘Not so,’ answered the third; ‘if we fly and are caught, we swin.,- I’ll tend to him to morrow - meal, and should he then speak as before, i’ll own the theft to him. and oiler some great reward to screen ua from punishment, and that he may deliver up the jewel without betraying us.’ ‘J hey all agreed. Outlie morning, our peasant’s appetite was still the same. At 1 st quite full, he ex claimed— *My task is donel the third thank God, is here !’ *V s,’ said the trembling culprit, hen ’s the ring, but hide our shame, and you shall never want good lare again.’ ‘Be silent !’ exclaimed the astonished Cricket.who little thoughtthat what he had spoken of bis mo ds would have made the plunderers betray tnemselves, •be silent! I have it ail.’ Some geese were feeding before the windows; lie went out. and having seized the largest, forced the ring down its throat: and hen declared that the goose had swallowed the jewel. The goose was kill ed—the diamond found, in the meantime the na bob returned, and was incredulous. ‘Some crafty knave, madam, said he,’ either the thief, or his abettor, has. with aw ■’• *• >noerted scheme, wrought on your easy faith, i’ll soon try his powers of divination. I'll provide him myself with a meal likewise No sooner said than done; between the two dishes the mysterious f-re was hidden; the false conjuror was told to declare what was the concealed cheer,on pain of being well beaten should he fail. ‘Ala-,’ he muttered out,-poor Cricket,‘thou are taken !’ •lie’s right!’ cried the nabob, ‘give him a purse of gold; honor such talents as his.’ It was a little cricket iu the dish. Thus, our glut ton, by four random speeches, gtined three hearty meals, comfort for life, and a brilliant reputation us a cunning man. Thirty five thousand acres of land, washed away by the tides in the river Scheldt, between Bui’gen op Zoom ami Antwerp, are about to be re claimed from th- sea by a company of capitalists. The Georgian speaks of cool weather in Sun dersville which made tires comfortable. What a contrast to Savannah temperature. Oh ! ior i cool refreshing chill! SAVANNAH JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4.1852. SAVANNAH, GA- Wednesday Afternoon, Aiirii*i 4, ISW. The following gentlemen are authomzeu to act it-. Agents tor the journal: Maj- E. H BACON, will receive subscriptions and contract for ad rtising. V. B PALMER. Boston—Scolly’s Building; new • York—Tribune Building; Philadelphia —Third & Chesnut. The steam-hip Florida , having been laid up for one trip tor repairs, there will be no steamer leaving Savannah for New York, on Saturday, the 7th instant. G 5P 3 To the Georgian of this morning we are in debted not only for a kind notice, but an amende for their oversight in neglecting us yesterday. The cor dial welcome to the corps editorial we fully appreci ated, and we should have hunted long for pretexts, before attributing the omission they mention to other motive than inadvertency. Fire! Is again the sad theme of our pen I A tire more disastrous perhaps in its consequences than any we have yet recorded —disastrous not to insurance com panies, and slated roofs, and brick walls—disastrous not to those who can laugh at misfortune,but to those who in losing little, lost much, because that lit tle was their all . Many poor families are now home less, and it is in this view of the subject rather than in the loss of money invested in houses and furni ture, that we consider the late calamity so melancho ly. Our sympathies of heart have been lately called to mourn over the sad lot of hundreds of sufferers in Montreal; herein our midst, is opportunity ior the exerciseof the sympathy of action and kind atten tion. The city in its official capacity we doubt not, will do all in its power to aid the suffer jrs, but there are many private citizens who w uot forego this occasion to enjoy the luxury of dispensing kindness. —The details of the sad event are already before the pub icin the three other gazettes of the city, but lor the benefit of such of our readers as do not enjoy their privilege, and also for our country readers, we cony from the Republican of this morning, the fol lowing statistical synopsis : The following, so far as we have been able to ascer tain. are the names of the parties owning the houses burnt ;—YV. VV. Johnston. Est James ltobers, Jacob Friend, Jack Williams, Henry Thompson, Solomon Zeigler, Mr. Morningstar, Charles H. Picket, John Hover, Patrick Price, Est. S. Winkler, Cooke, I. L. Wolfe, Mr. John Murchison, and Thomas J- Naylor. There was but little insurance on the property— about 81 500 on all; but how distributed, vve are not informed. Among the insured are W. W. Johnson partly ; Henry Thompson. I. L.Wolfe, Thompson J. Naylor,and John Hover; Mr. -Murchison was also in sured to some extent. Our firemen behaved gallantly but wind and water, the very elements, were against they could only exercise human power in the unequalled con” test. They cannot accomplish impossibilities. Another attempt to fire the city was made this morning, by setting fire to some hay in the loft of the stable on the premises occupied by Di-.Wragg, corner of Pine and West Broad streets. Some la borers who were fortunately passing at the time were led to discover toe flames by the smoke issuing from the roof. They gave tile alarm, but before as sistance arrived, happily succeeded in arresting the flames ; a slight charring of the roof, and the loss of a small amount of hay is the extent of the damages. We hope the vigilance lately and constantly exer cised, may not go uhrewarded, nor these villains whoare bent upon the destruction of our city’, long go * unwhipt of justice. ” Journalisings. From the Sandersville Georgian of yesterday we learn that the Agricultural Association (of Wash ington ‘county we presume) were to meet in San dersville at half past nine o’clock. Capt. R. S. Hard, wick of this city was to deliver an a f dress, which, when published, “we shall make a note on.” We rejoice to see these associations springing up around us. They are the true benefactors of the land, and after rain sun-shine and the plow, are first on the list of those who make the “desert blossom ns the rose. - ’ The same paper informs us th t the Third par. ty men were to meeting in the same village yesterday, and that said party, dubbed by the Gear, gian the “ Turtium Quids'’ will sw How up the Scot* tites in that county. They meet to send delegates to the Convention on the 17th inst. The Female School in Sandersville, opens on Monday next under the charge of the Rev. Mr Sheppardson, whom the Georgian recommends as a gentleman, a scholar and a christain—■ three most excellent perfections in a teacher. If this were a boy’s school, Mr. S. would sttllneed an “old hicko ry” (which our dominie use to flourish over our heads in our barefoot days,) as the climacteric of his qualifications, but the school girls,to whom commend u°, need no other incentives to improvement, than the friendly counsels of an affectionate teacher. A gentleman advertise in the Georgian fora pair of “lost spectacles in a morocco case”. We sympathise with our unfortunate friend, who may be some good old man, deprived for a time of com munion with David and Solomon,and St. Paul ! not to mention his Weekly Georgian. It’s almost as bad as losing one’s eyes ! The Constitutionalist <V Republic of yesterday chronicles a meetirg of the Scott party of Richmond county on Saturday evening last. It seems that a Webster resolution was somehow got before the meeting and the C, 6f R. intimates that it created so n:e consternation. The Athens (Ga.) Herald contains an article on the impropriety of introducing irrelevant matter into ihe present presidential canvass. “In the name of all that ia funny,” says the Herald , “what has fight ing or faintingn to do with theofficeof President?” The Carpet Bag, we would inform the Herald, says that Gen. Scott \sfit to be president, and we our selves can tell him that since Gen. Washington’s time it has been impossible to electa president with out feints. Some shocking ones at that. St. Marys money, we learn fiom the same source, if under So. will redeem printer’s bills at the Georgian office. Alas ! to what poor shifts are we editors sometime driven to get our dues! Patrons are the Colossi, and we petty men “Walk under their huge legs, and peep about” For nimbi sixpence and Ht. Marys bills! Patn lie control their fate—out Edito i s.fatc controls— The fault dear brothers, is not in patrons Butin ourselves, that we don t sue them. “Now, in ihe name of all the gods at once!” Why don’t we editors adopt the cash system and steadfast stand thereby ! Thee ! a parody on Shakspeare and one of Long fellow’s evangelic hexameters, “all two at once !” The North Carolina elections for Governor, Legislature, and county officers, takes place to-mor row. -—Orders for the construction of baggage-wag gons for the army have been given by th• govern ment. They will be built as soon ns possible and the order filled in Philadelphia. Judge Sanford died at Toledo, (N. Y ) of chol. era after an hour's d'nese. Tlie Alorniug News and Uhs ou Bit: I r u. We don’t know when* Editors go to —we hope they are well provide I for hereafter, for they have a hard time of it here ; but whateve* may be their fate, some will have one sin to answer for, and that is their everlasting squabbling, and perpetual parade of themselves before the public. To say the least that can be said, such parade is in decidedly bad taste, and nothing is more disagreeable to us than to see it, or be compelled to resort to it. Yet in this the third number of our labors, our readers can quote Nathan to us. They had af right better things, but if they will bear with us, we hope to be justified in the end, which is all one has a right to hope for. The puff'of the Morning News to which we allud ed in the Journal of yesterday, was no common puff, at least in intention—that puff was intended fora hur ricane—a simoon that should uproot us with its strength, and wither us with its breath. It was a sly puff;a intended to demolish us in our own esteem “cut our comb” in secret, and cow us—make us afraid to raise our voice, and yet it was a puft of praise; intended to pass for a gent e zephyr and a favoring breeze, with the public; but it did not ac complish its end with them or with us ; the malice of the thing peeped out, in spite ot the pretended kindness in which it was masked. This little puff of a fcio hues was better calculated to injure us,and our prospects, than reams of venom ! Why? Because, do what we would, there was defeat (intended) on either hand. If we allowed it to puss, then the puff’ took and told —its mission was accomplished, and the public were at liberty to believe, either that vve were too obtuse to perceive the attempt to “damn us with faint praise,” or else, that we were too pusillani mous to resent an effort to patronise us. Thus we were to be introduced to the people of Savannah, ei ther as a verdant , or a protege oi the Morning News! This was the simoon—now lor the hurricane. If vve resented the thing, the News a uld hold us up to the public gaze as a quarreler— it would force us to in troduce ourself ns a wrangler and a lop, who loved to make war, and parade in uniform in time of peace —it could point to its puff', and ask, what would this man have 1 WE have pulled him and he parodies Horace on us! WE have tried to “ kill him with kindness,” and fie makes it cause for quarrel! What can we do? He will have nothing but, “ liis pound of flesh !*’ It was a subtle thing, that pull—we give its author credit, lor having invented as beguiling a Scylla and Charybdis, as was ever built by the hand ofnatuie or of man. But we don't intend to take “Hobson's choice!” It vve are to be wrecked, it won’t be upon these rocks, but after vve have ridden, not between, nor around, but over them. It ia not our nature to quarrel—if there is ever a peace—congress in this country, we intend to take the stump —we would like to “ get along” smoothly and evenly with our brethren of the quill, everywhere— they are a clever class of men in ihe main, and the practice of proper courtesy will enable any man to keep on good terms with them ; their friendship is not to be lightly esteemed, and their puffs have wafted many a vessel into a smiling port ; but there is reason, or there oug .t to be, in all things, and vve cannot afford to pay too high for puffs—il we must be patronised ala Morning News, in order to become a fit recipient ior them, vvedon’t wish them; and littleas welike wordwors,we’dCaadimca whole month soon er than submitto it ! Besides,what kind of courtesy was tills which we are now acknowledging ? It does not savor of the court,nor the parlor,nor the editorial sanctum—it is not Arabian hospitulity nor Spanish hospitality—it is not Indian hospitality, nor will it ever pass with us for Savannah hospitality ? What would be thought of such a welcome to anew comer in trade, from the merchants of our city? What would the new comer think, if he were met with an “ Ah! ray dear sir, how dy’e do ? Now comer here we see, and therefore here’s our hand ; but mind we’ve been in the business till we’ve got to be infal lible, and if ever you should be caught at you understand, we’ll expose you ! Behave yourself, and get under our coat-tail, and all may go right, if we choose to permit it.” The fact is, there was no sort of courtesy in this thing—the longer we look at it, the littler (if we may use the word) it appears, and that is the least we can say of it. But the self-suffi ciency of the thing is great. “WE are Jupiter touans ! youth ! and the cut of the Exchange on the first page of the News is the “ towering Ida,” from which our darts are hurled ! Beware, oh ! rash adventurer! Dost hear our thunder? Then trem* ble ! Bea good boy. and all’s right! “We welcome brother Lane.” Brother! Save us from such brothers. We are tempted to exclaim ettu Brute! —but we are no Ccesar ; Ciesar is in the News office, and we can't call that Cajsar, Brutus ; so the words won’t apply. But why these pretensions? what do they stand upon ? Why are we to be nuiped condescendingly under the chin? Why is an at tempt thus made to tweak and twit us? Why try to slap the k brimof our hat over our eyes in this eccen tric, off hand, unceremonious, and reprehensible manner? Is it because the Savannah Journal is a diminutive sheet, (diminutive though it be, it shall never be dirty) and of humble pretensions? Is it because we can’t sport a moustache, but on the con trary, such is the backward state of our beard, we look forward to the Presidential election with sun* dry misgivings, lest our vote be deemed sufficiently juvenile to be challenged ? Is it because our name is not Jones, and we arc not a Major l (By the-bye, vve. were a Colonel onccst in our schoolboy days,(and little did we think m those happy hours, that our Colonelcy would one day ear us up against a Major!) Is it because we “ hoiu’t got nary a spinnin wheel” over which to scrape our shins for the amusement of any body that thinks it funny ? Is it because we have no “chronicles” of uuncieute days? Is it because we have never enlarged our minds by “ sketches of travel ?” Is it because we have not the circulation, nor the wish, if circulation, to trumpet our own praises in our own paper, and that too but an inch or two from our own name.iu a line of bold-faced black letter, “Largest Circulation in tlie City!!” Is it because we have not been warranted by our books to put taut taking title over our editorial columns ? Is it oecause we would not take such a pitiful lling as that, at our bretbeien of the press, nor strive to cannonade advertisers into our columns, with such brazen artillery as this ? Is it, Mr. News, because vve are strugg ,ig with difficulties,that you thus attempt to put an end, to what you Halter yourself is our misery by a summary blow, to be followed as you perhaps hope, by a Coroner’s Inqut st ? Is it because we made a “modest” bow? Is it? is it? is it? what is it ? We never did look for a needle in a hay stack ; but we have an idea how perplexing that op eration must be, from the trouble vve have had in hunting up these causes for pretension, and the grounds for this puff’. You are the last man in the world, Mr. Editor, who ought to talk about “ latitudes,” and “longitudes,’’ and “ reckonings”—and though a flourish of the the pen would prove this to you, we scorn to take advautage of you. Your misfortunes, are sacred ground [upon which a i H o arrows in your quiver would not induce us to ..rad. We pity you for them, and when we say pity, we mean it not in irony, but in all sincerity. The spring-time of your iife was sacrificed, not on Major Jones’ lightwood fires, but on the altar of Southern Literature, and we deeply regret the difficulties which surrounded you and ihe un deserved reward you reaped. We have been care ulto mention onlyy our successes,and those too, which you have placed before ihe public for criticism. We hear you no malice—we wish you, your paper and your pen, success—there is room enough in the world for two small men like you and us, but you must remember that wc are among strangers, and therefore* entitled to courtesy until f. we have forfeited our right to it—you must remem- ; j her that wo have feelings, and you must respect j them—that though vve have put on the Editorial bar j ncss,we caVt be bitted by anybody; nor will vve suffer ‘ i any JehuAbiit chooses so!odo,to pop his wlrp about J our ears, hi * ribands over us—thatthough j we are iuexpuTiencod, we are learned enough not to ■ be humbugged by every whale story that may come out on the first of April—you must remember that we have under aken to edit the Journal, and it is our duty to defend it and ourself—-we have rights* and those rights must be respected. This morning another rock is offered for us to strand on. We name it the “ rock of good intention,' '* it is an old timed flag-stone ; it affords a safe refuge for the News. U the intentions were good, they were so badly phrased (despite infallibility) that all from whom we have an opinion, ttrr.k with us, that this puff’was a faint attempt to “ snob” u*. It ill be comes the News to intimate that our professions of inexperience were not sincere—want of confidence is a sentiment it does not know; witness in proof thereof, the perpetual mention of Major Jones iu its columns, and the standing brag about its circulation The bad grammar to which it alludes, it may make the most of; these things will happen—witness the article of the News on the fire this morning ! We have not the copy to prove that vve >1 id not so write it, and it may therefore, if the Nevva so wishes is bs considered that vve knew no better. The talk about sympathy is nonsense—what poor milk of human kindness must it have been if the small thunder of yesterday could curdle it into the sour ciabber of this morning! YV e are taunted with being young— we own it, but we shall crow old, and when we do, may we not look upon youth with that contempt which the News does—we bow, sir, to your veteran ship, having been taught ts reverence age and infirm ity. YVe are dubbed “ little Lane /? —we might retort upon your spectacles, but personal appearances are aside from this question—no man can regulate his size, his age or his looks. The News prates of the muße we might think Apollo had sent him a sea son ticket ot entrance into the temple but for his ig norance of its rites. YVe never trouble the muses unless it is on some business of importance. The muse is the triend of inspiration, not l Translation, yet although we told you that the lines in which you were our “ Mwccnas ” ana the subject matter of our song, were a free translation, you regard it as inspi ration ! The News has been astride Pegasus he tells us • we would not deny it, but Pegasus has thrown his rider from fright, we suppose at the fire, and its the loftiest tall we ever knew, for Pegasus has not only freed himself from his rider, but annihilated him, if making ** NOTHING” of Mm is annih'i'ation— the News says on its own responsibility that the sub ject matter of our song was “Nothing !”—the Edit or of the News was the subject matter of our song ! Mot-tlamentable suicide! We have said this much in justice et ourself, and not through any desire to be troublesome—we have tired our readers we fear, but we will not again al lude to this subject, unless compelled to do so. It’s a good finale to let the matter end in “ Nothing ,” and we now cut the thread of continuation in print. The Crops—TnE Weather.—From every direc tion we learn that the corn crop is good and prom ises, without some future disaster, to be abundant It is now mostly made, and beyond the reach of dry weather. As to the cotton, the accounts are unf a rorable from every section of the country, So poor a prospect has not been witnessed for a number of years, and shoul the weather continue as cold, as it has been for a day or two, or a week-or two lon ger, the injury would be immense. There have, however, been so many prophecies about short cot ton c/ops. which never were fulfilled, that vve almost four to offer a prediction.- Col. Enq. 30 th inst. No Use for Trousers Now—On the morning of the meteor shower, in 1833, old Peyton Roberts, who intended making an early start to his work, got up in the midst of the display. On going to his door he saw with amazement the sky lighted up with the falling meteors, and he concluded* at once that the world was on fire, and that the day of judgment had come. He stood for a moment gazing in speechless terror at the scene, and then with a yell of horror sprang out of the door into the yard, right into the midst of the falling stars, and here in bis efforts to dodge them, he commenced a series of ground and lofty tumbling that would have done honor to a j tight-rope dancer. His wife being awakened in the j meantime, and seeing old, Peyton jumping and skip ping about the yard, called out to him to know— “YVhatin the name o’sense. he was doin’ out thar, i dancin’ around tha-. without his clothes on ?” But Peyton heard not—the judgement and the long black accounts he would have to settle, made him heedless of all terrestrial things; and his wife by this time becoming alarmed at \&is strange be havior, sprang out of bed. and running to the door, shrieked out at the top of her lungs— “ Peyton ! 1 say. Peyton ! what do you mean, jumpin’about out thar ? Como in and put your trowners on#” Old Peyton, whose fears had now overcome bra, faintly answered, as he fell sprawling upon the earth—‘Oh! Peggy, Peggy, don't you eee-e-c the w-o-r d-l-d’s a-fi-r-e ? Thar ain’t no use for tro-ow sers now !” Board of Health. Savannah. August 4. 1852. The Board met.
