Tuesday Morning, Oct. 19.
The World lu Miniature!
With descriptions of every nation »nd coun-
tiy, together with a treatise on Physical Geog
raphy. By Charles W. Morse, A. B., and Claries
Colby, A. M. New Orleans: Published by Ar-
thur B. Griswold. This is a new Geography,
with a long series of maps ofthc world, the Con
tinents and of every political subdivision of the
earth. It is comprised in two volumes, square
18 mo. of about 800 pages cadi, elegantly prin
ted and bound. The first volume is devoted to
the Western Hemisphere—the second to the
Eastern. The first opening with an interesting
Treatise on Physical Geography, gives us maps
of the world, of the Western Hemisphere, of the
United States—of the different States in coun
ties and townships—the Territories—Mexico—
Central America—the West India Islands—
South America, and nil its political sub-divisions.
The Second volume opens with a long treatise
on Ancient Geography, which is illustrated with
maps compiled in different ages of the world,
from a period of over 200 years B. C. The" we
have Europe, Asia, Africa, Japan an J Oceanica
in detail. Rich map is accompanied by refer
ences, explanations and statistical facts, furnish
ing as full an id<* of the country delineated as
could be given in the compass of such volumes.
They constitute an interesting appendage to the
family library, and we know of no work of the
kind better adapted to the purpose. The Agent
is now in this city and publishes an advertise
ment in another column.
Full Pockets and Pleasant Faces
Most us at every comer now-a-days. The
planters are bringing in their cotton and selling
at the present rates. Debts are paid—liberal
supplies are purchased and the Mo(on people
in all departments of trade arc doing a “smash
ing business.” The old and well known liouse
r n « it" i n.Mi mnu u»u ciguijf IHUUS&nCl
dollars worth of goods the past week, and our
merchants generally are selling more goods and
making better collections than during any pre
vious year. Macon is increasing in population,
in enterprise and capital, and by a judicious use
of the many local and rail road facilities
which she enjoys in a pre-eminent degree, will
shortly become the largest city in Georgia if not
in the South Atlantic States.
Judicial Candidates.
The “Judicial Convention” for the South

Comical :tnd Lugubrious.
The Telegraphic dispatches and the newspa
pers of contemporaneous arrival do sometimes
between them produce an odd effect. For illus
tration : wc have this morning the Pennsylvan
ian leading off with a “word of encouragement to
democrats” ‘-on the cheering prospects before the
party in this State" and wc have the despatches
telling the actual result! Never mind! cheer
up, Old Thunderer. Adversity lias its uses, and
misfortunes arc sometimes “blessings in dis
guise.”
Time' to Cool.
The Aniericns Republican says: “The Dem
ocratic Party is in a sleic everywhere!” The
■ 'Americans” then, arc ahead of the democrats.
They were pretty thoroughly “stewed” long
ago, and arc now quite root—cold as a wedge.

Distribution of Federal and State
OFFICES IN GEORGIA—THE ACCOUNT
BY DISTRICTS.
The “Albany t Patriot,” having complained
that South Western Georgia lias not received
its due share of Officers from the present G-.t-
emor, and the “Times” having endorsed the
article, the federal Union” replies, that it
is a great tlBffike, and makes a showing ac
cordingly. Our attention having been called
to the discussion, we append below a list of the
present Federal and State Officers from the
Congressional Districts.
The 1st, Henry K. Jackson, Minister to Aus
tria, two Pursers in the Navy, Collector at Sa
vannah and St Marys, with three or four Clerk
ships at Washington—John E. Ward, Presi

4th. Dist has Mr. Yancey, Minister to Bue

Compiler of the laws, and a Clerkship at Wash-
m 5th. Dist has two or three Clerkships at
Washington, two Route Agents on .the State
Road, Speaker of the House, Secretary of the
Senate, Surveyor General, Keeper of the Peni

and ten or twelve appointments on the Road,
and last, but greatest and best of all, His Ex

6th Dist lias Hon. Howell Cobb, Secretary
of the Treasury, Philip Clayton, Assistant Sec

Supreme Bench, and the State University.
7th Dist has Assistant Post Master General,
Consul to Greece, and one or two Clerks at

Treasury.
8th Dist has Senator Toombs, the Consul to
Turks Island, one or two Clerkships at Wash
ington, Governor of Utah, four Route Agents,
and one or two appointments on State Road.
Our readers will perceive that the ‘•Times”
and “Federal Union” have no right to com
plain, as far as tlio distribution of officers is con
cerned their Districts having more than their
proportionate share. The third District is “the
poor dog at the frolic.” The above list may be
inaccurate in some respects hut in the main, .is
oorrect
Grand Lodge of Georgia.
• We learn from an advertisement in the Au
gusta Chronicle A Sentinel, Savannah Republi
can and Atlanta American, that this body will
convene in Macon on Tuesday the 26th October.
This Is the first intimation we have had that
Masons in Georgia are biased by party feeling.
Why should American or Whig Journals be
picked out to advertise in ?”
The foregoing from the Marietta Patriot of
the 14th, is altogether unjust to the worthy
Grand Secretary, S. Rose, Esq., who caused the
first notice to be published in the Georgia Tel
egraph, and procured its publication directly
thereafter in two papers of differing politics in
Augusta, Columbus, Milledgerilleand Atlanta,
and in one in the city of Savannah—a course
certainly as different from the one imputed by
the Patriot, as could possibly lie conceived.
Elections.
The New York Day Book of the 18th, thus
sums up the result of the late Elections in Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana.
Pennsylvania—Republican Stale Ticket elect
ed by six thousand majority—Eighteen Repub
lican members to Congress—three Democrats—
two Anti-Lecompton Denis. Ohio—Republican
State Ticket elected—fourteen Republicans to
Congress—seven Democrats and among them
Chas. L. VaHandigham, who licats Lewis D.
Campbell. Indiana—Republican State Ticket
elected—seven Republicans two Democrats, and
two Anti-Lecompton Democrats elected to Con-
gress.
A Just Tribute from an mi ex pec
TED QUARTER.
The Press and Public men of South Carolina
have, since the inauguration of the “ Convention
System of political organization,” until the year
1856, kept aloof with singular unanimity from
the entangling alliances of either of the two great
parties struggling for ascendancy and power in
the Republic.
At the Cincinnati Convention, however, a
delegation appeared and claimed their seats as
representing an integral portion of the Democ
racy of the country, and mainly to this circum
stance is tobc attributed the selection of Charles
ton as the point for the session of the National
Convention of 18G0j
The action of these Delegates at that time
was bitterly opposed by many of the leading
and influential men of the State—they denied
the authority of the Delegates—they alleged
that upon a fair expression of the sentiments of
the State, a large majority of the Democratic
party would lie found opposed to tlicir action,
and unwilling to be thus committed to the acts
of a Convention so strongly tainted with the
| odor of Nationality, they refused to pledge them
selves to he lmund to support the nominees or
adhere to the Platform, and stubbornly held out
to the bitter end in opposition to the nuptials
which in their judgment united them for better
or worse to a National Party.
The Hon. Lawrence M. Keitt, the member
from the Orangeburg District, was then opposed
to South Carolina being represented in the Cin
cinnati Convention, and in looking over a speech
delivered by him at Whippy Swamp, wc notice
he holds the same opinion still—hut while true
to his National Antagonisms, Mr. Keitt is jiist
in his estimation of the policy of the Adminis
tration. Our readers will perceive by a perusal
of the extract appended below, that Mr. Keitt,
endorses the administration as “reliable and
trustworthy” and that Mr. Buchanan “since
the opening of Congress has done all he could
do to maintain the rights and expectations of
the South."
AVo rejoiced that Mr. Orr, Mr. Boyce, Gen.
McQueen, Mr. Miles, Mr. Keitt, and Senators
Hammond and llayne, comprising with a soli
tary exception the whole delegation from South
Carolina, have before the people approved the
action of Mr. Buchanan, and at this particular
juncture, their endorsement becomes conspicu
ously significant, because the people without op
position have ratified the approval by electing
all the gentlemen who were candidates.
Mr. Keitt is known to the country as an ultra
and extreme politician, even for the latitude of
South Carolina, and if he, holding these views,
can award to Mr. Buchanan the sanction of his
endorsement, how is it that wc hear occasionally
of a grumbler who still complains that we have
no friends at the North—that the whole Demo
cratic party licyond Mason’s A Dixon’s line is
unsound and unreliable. Do these gentlemen
take and read the papers ’•—are they conversant
with the current events of the day 1 Look at
the recent elections in Pennsylvania, Indiana,
Ohio and other Northern States—see how the
Northern Democracy faced the music on the
Lecompton issue. It is true they have been
beaten—but they are still undismayed. Tlio
large body of the party stood firm, and many of
those who left went off not on the slavery is
sue, but on the question of popular sovereignty,
which they, as we believe, erroneously thought
was involved in the Lecompton Constitution,
and when that question becomes no longer an
issue, they will return to the ranks of the Dem
ocratic party ready to do battle for its princi
ples as ably, as zealously, and as triumphantly
as ever.
But w« digress. Our object was to call at
tention to the extract from Mr. Keitt’s speech,
and to say that Mr. Keitt is not alone in the
view which he takes of the results growing out
of the Policy of Mr. Buchanan. Last week we
heard with pleasure that one of the most distin
guished champions of the Opposition in Geor
gia. liad given in his adhesion, ind to use his
own language, “ liad been compelled to become

Macon is likely to be the centre of attraction
for the young nnd the gay during the coming
winter.' AYc understand that many of our weal
thy and liospitablc residents arc expecting vis
its" from fair friends in this and from other States,
and that a scries ofbrilliant entertainments will lie
given in honor ofthc fair visitors. In anticipa
tion and in aid of this winter of pleasure, Pow
ell, our Maitrc de Danse, is arranging fora num
ber of select parties, and is preparing our young
Gentlemen for the blithe pastimes, by putting
them through the paces of Les Lancicrs and
other late and fashionable dances which he is
proposing to introduce. Our home beauties are
not idle. Not satisfied with their brilliant suc
cesses at the Greenbrier—Saratoga and the
gorgeous parlors of the St Nicholas and the
Clarendon, they are preparing to contest the
palm of beauty with any or all the radiant fair,
who propose to invade their domain of conquest
and win from their allegiance and duty the
Beaux at home. AA T e hope to lie able, in future
remarks of the Telegraph, to chronicle some of
the brilliant events of the gay season.
Georgia—“ Tlieve slie stands, Look
| AT HER.”
Georgia has over twelve hundred miles of
Rail Road built and paid for, and yielding to the
Stockholders more than an average of seven per
cent, yearly Ividends.
AYithin the next year, two hundred miles of
additional Road, completed and equipped, will
be in operation. These Roads, with but a sin
gle exception, are mainly the results of the en
terprise, the energy and capital of our own peo
ple.
Wc have Cotton and AA'ool and Paper Facto
ries, Rolling Mills Foundries and Machine
Shops—Merchant Mills—Marble Yards—Gold
and Copper and Coal Mines—all in a flourishing
condition, and remunerating the proprietors by
handsome returns on the capital invested.
The cotton crop of the present year will bring
twenty-five millions of dollars at present prices.
The crop of cereals is worth twice that sum—
the sugar and tobacco crop not being included
in the account
The Stare tax is not quite one twelfth of cue
per cent—the net income of the State Road will
be three hundred thousand dollars. The State
debt amounts to about two million^ and a tax
of one fifth of one per cent would pay it in two
years. Oup Banks are solvent—our Merchants
in the best of credit, and the people generally
out of debt, with full crops of cotton, com, Ac.,
on hand. The country is healthy, with the ex
ception of the epidemic in Savannah. AYe have
six male Colleges, and Colleges for the fair sex
in almost every village containing five hundred
inliabitants in the State. Looking to this state
ment offsets, is there a State in Christendom in
the enjoyment of so many of the material ele
ments of comfort, prosperity and success, as the
great State of Georgia ■ If then, a: this time,
she occupies so proud a position, what will she
be when all her projected lines of Rtil Road are
completed—when the mines of gold and copper
and coal that now lie deep in the bosom of her
mountains, are opened, and their rich deposits
brought to market When instead of but a
fourth, as she now has, of her rich lands in cul
tivation, the full half of the rich valleys in the
North shall bear a golden harvest, and the plains
of the South and AVest shall be white with the
kingly staple. AYhen that day shall come,
Georgia will not only be the Empire State of
the South, but the Empire State of the world.
For the
Sale of the State Road
Few of the Georgia newspapers, who are
discussing the sale of the State Road, fail at
least practically to admit the existence of col
lateral and ulterior questions, which ought, in
great part, to determine the policy of the sale.
How much or how little is the State to lose by
the transaction—into whose hands is the Road
to fall, and with what result to the People trib
utary to it? And last, not least, what is to be
done with the price received? How can one
intelligently say' he is in favor of a sale without
a satisfactory .solution of these problems V The
important bearing of at least one of them is con
ceded in all ofthc various projects of the advo
cates of sale for the disposition of the proceeds;
but if the suggestions they advance on this head
show any thing, they show a want of concern
tration in the public mind which would be like
ly to result in tlio dissipation and- waste of the
fund from the salo ofthc Road, if it were real
ized. Some want a magnificent common school
system—some State aid for other Rail Roads—
some a perpetual fund for the support of. gov

If the heavens, then, arc overcast with clouds,
what is our policy ? In my judgment, our pol
icy is clear and obvious. AVc should support
the Administration and co-opcrate with the
Democratic party, as approximating nearer to
us than any other, until such co-oporation in
volves the sacrifice of principle or safety. The
Administration I believe to be reliable and trust
worthy. Since the loginning of the last sesaion
of Congress its general policy has received my
earnest support. I may have objected to isola
ted acts but no one can lie expected to approve
all the acts of any Administration. Adminis
trations and jiarties must be judged by tlie gen
eral results of their policy and principles, and
not by exceptional acts Mr. Buchanan’s Ad
ministration has been made memorable by a
scries of brilliant successes. He has done all he
could do, since the opening of Congress, to main

The Steam Plough.
A brief paragraph, transferred to our columns
*uH^Invenfcn ft TfcwpTrf
Lancaster (Fa), at the late State Fair in Illinois.
This plough is described as u cross between
a locomotive and a tender. It is mounted on
two guiding wheols and a huge propelling wheel
in the shape of a drum, which overcomes the
difficulties of miring on soft soil and slipping on
nard smooth ground. It is said to be easily
managed, and to require but a moderate amount
of fuel. It draws six ploughs, so regulated by
spiral springs as to yield to any extraordinary
obstruction. The machine was tried on the
most difficult soil tlie unbroken prairie, and its
performance is thus described in the Chicago
“The prairie was baked so hard by drouth that
the prairie breaking plough's would not run in
it, and the trial of sod ploughs was abandoned
in consequence. Notwithstanding this fact, the
inventor whs so confident of success that lie
gave the order to put the ploughs to work in
this almost impervious soil After a little de
lay in regulating to this brick-like surface, the
engine moved forward, when six furrows were
turned side by side in tlie most workman-like
manner. Tlie excitement of the crowd was be
yond control, and their shouts and wild huzzas
echoed far over the prairie, as there, beneath
the smiling autumn sun, lay the first furrow
turned by steam on the broad prairies of the
mighty AVest Tlie goal was won. Steam had
conquered the face of Nature, and the steam
plough liad become a fact; it was working oyer
tlie rich rolling prairies of ‘Egypt,’ and turning
up its wealth of nutritious elements for the
growth of the cereal and pomonal products—
self-moving, and containing a power unequalled
to turn up the lower strata of soil 80 rich in
potash, in phosphates, in silica, and other es
sential elements of vegetable growth. The long
line of matchless furrows parted the crowd, and
lay between the moving masses like a line of
silver wove in the gray setting of the prairie.
Amid the excitement tlie inventor remained
calm- it was enough for him to hear the glad

it is all about lying, the reader will believe it or

; -In the North State lives a certain John
Long, who draws a long bow whenever lie has
! anything to tell and his character for truth and
veracity has been below zero for many years.
Captain Johnson had been so taken in by oneof
John’sonlrogeous stories that he said to him in
| * ^Yf you make me believe one ofyour lies again
in a month I’ll give you fifty dollar*’ *
‘John pretended to be quite hurt by the oiler,
and went off. A few days afterwards he was
riding by tlie captain’s, post haste, on horse-
lack, when the captain called out to him:
" ‘I say! hello Johny!’ stop and tell us ii lie
or two this morning!’
“John rode on, but cried out most dolefully:
‘No time for lying now; brother Jimmy has
The consumption of fuel and water was very
moderate. That tlie engine is a complete suc
cess there can be no doubt, and all that is now
wanting Is to demoostrate that, taking the whole
expense into consideration, it Is cheaper than
horse power. If this Is answered in the affirm
ative it will produce tlie greatest revolution in
a"ricultund progress tliat we have yet seen; it
will take another wrinkle from the brow of Ia-

to perform."

is no one public necessity pressing on the at
tention ofthc people—pointing out a judicious
use of the money, by which a value can lie re
alized equal to that parted with.
Schools are of vast importance to the moral
and intellectual improvement of the people, and
we will not deny that, under favoring circum
stances, a system of public education might even
return to the coffers ofthc State, in due time,
large sums of money invested in establishing it.
But an effective system of public instruction
must be the growth of time, and must be the
work of the People more than of the govern
ment. An expensive system and large appro
priations to maintain it in advance of an urgent
demand from the people, will result in little
more than a waste of public money. There is
now no evidence of such a demand.
And about the same reflection is true of the
different State aid projects which are or may lie
brought forward to supplant the investment of
the State Road. There is no reason, we can dis
cover, why State aid to any existing project
should run ahead oiprivate aid; but the State
might perhaps wisely aid any ofthem sufficient
ly meritorious and important to command first
a bona fide private subscription of four-fifths of
their capital stock. The State ought not to lie
seduced or log-rolled into speculations in which
the people decline seriously to embark.
As for the remaini% project to create a cer
tain fund sufficient to carry on the government
and then exempt every body from taxation, we
fail to discover its merits, if it has any*. The
present rate of taxation in Georgia is certainly
not burdensome—we have heard no complaint
of it; and one of tlie best guarantees of a pure

It may well l>e questioned whether any possible
