Wagon Lost.
O N monday, 21st Nov., the yrtnkees took
away, from our house, a small, light blue,
iron-axle, one-horse wag-on, and our buggy
harness. It is the wagon we were accustomed
to use, in sending our mails to town. We
think this wagon, and harness, were dropped
somewhere between here and Milledgeville,
and would be obliged to any friend to take care
of them, and let us know where they are.

A Foreign Echo.—“A French gen
tleman of ripe culture, says the Na
tional Intelligencer, who, just before
the out-break ot our civil war, spent
Several years in the United States, for
the purpose of minutely observing,
and studying our institutions, in a re
cent private letter held the following
language, which, though not intended
for publication, we translate for our
readers, as containing the thought of
an enlightened foreigner, qualified, as
well by his familiar knowledge ot our
couptry, as by bis point of view, to
look no less intelligently than dispas
sionately on our struggle. He says:
I am ne-'Ural between the parties to
your strife, and I think that no good
can possibly result from it, except by
means of mutual reconciliation. If it
is the cannon which has the last word,
you may have conquered subjects,
but not political confederates, still
less friends. The union, in such a
case, woufd no longer be anything
but a lie, for it ganpot b,e imposed, it
should be freely assented to. And,
on another side of the question, the
blacks, transformed into freedom, pre
sent a problem which it is not easy to
solve. What shall you do with four
millions of person.^, but yesterday sla
vish and degraded, and today the
equals of their former masters '! The
prejudices of races, still so deep root-
ed at the north, and mych more ten
acious at the south, are not to b6 ex
tirpated in a day. You have proposed
to yourselves terrible problems, be
fore knowing bow you can solve them.
Your future, therefore, is big with
difficulties, which, sooner, or later,
must bring on a crisis and revolutions,
the nature of which no man can now
at all foresee. May God save your
country from still more deplorable
calamities! You are now paying
very dearly for kmg years of prosper
itv, through which vou have run with
out burdens. I offer fervent prayer
that you mav soon see the end of it. I
can truly add, that this is the wish of
the whole of Europe, for, if yon have
no personal recollection of revolutions,
you must admit that yon are outstrip
ping all other nations, in this bloodv
path, on which you have entered,
and over which the whole world
mourns."
“ The sewing women in Philadel
phia, and New York, are in great dis
tress, as their scanty earnings are in
sufficient. to support them. For soh
Liters’ pants, they get only from sev
en to eight cents, in paper money;
and, for shirts, one dollar per dozen,
including button-holes, and all, com
plete. For tents, with sixteen but
ton holes, they get fifteen cents per
test. These women have held large
meetings, both in New York, and
Philadelphia, hut. a deaf ear has been
turned to their remonstrances.”
Grief consumes itself, then, like
the Phoenix, springs again from its
own ashes.

NILES’ REGISTER REVIVED.
PROSPECTUS OF
THE COUNTRYMA N,
T^ILES’ Register, the most useful journal ever
i X issued in America, has been revived in
the publication of The Countryman. This
journal is a fac simile of its original, in the
number and size ot its pages, its typography,
and all the features which gave value to the
standard publication issued by ?4r. Niles.
Besides the features ol NOes’ Register, The
Countryman baa others which should render
it still rnme attractive—to-wit,^a department
of elegant literature, rejecting the gtvle of yan
kee literary journals, and modeling itself alter
the best English miscellaneous weeklies, buq
at the same time, being stamped with an in
dependent, southern tone, original with, and
peculiar to itself.
An altogether novel feature with it, is that it,
is published in the country, en the editor’s^
plantation, nine miles from any town, or vil
lage, and devotes much attention to agricul
ture, rural sports, and every thing that interests
the country gentleman.
The Countryman is a handsome quarto, of
sixteen pages, published weekly on the editor’s
plantation, near Eatonton, Ga., to which all
communications should be addressed.
Our terms are $5 for three months, or <$20
per annum. Send all remittances by express.
