THE GEORGIA TELEGRAPH. IVEA-OOIST, Gr-A-, 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.

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.

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. TIte “Waynesboro News” Is the title of a new paper just established in Burke County, Georgia, by Messrs Gray & Blount—the lirst nunibor of which has been re ceived.

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 dent of the Senate " 2d. Dist. has Judge Johnson, Senator, Judge Benning on the Supreme Bench, B. Y. Mar tin, State Reporter, T. Lomax, State Printer, P Thweat, Comptroller General, B. May, Treas urer State Road, Maj. A. B.

Dist has Mr. Yancey, Minister to Bue nos Ayres, R. J. Cowart, Indian Agent Judge McDonald, on Supremo Bench, four or five offi cers on the State Road, Secretary of State, the 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 tentiary, Executive Secretary, Messenger to the Governor, Superintendent of the State Road and ten or twelve appointments on the Road, and last, but greatest and best of all, His Ex cellency, Joseph E. Brown. 6th Dist lias Hon. Howell Cobb, Secretary of the Treasury, Philip Clayton, Assistant Sec retary ofthc Treasury, Junius Hffiyer, Solicit or of' the Treasury. W « W-tll Assktant tt wic .luoruey ueneral U. # o., James rnerson, Special Agent of tlio Post Office Department, Lumpkin, Crawford, Allen and others, Clerks at Washington, Dr. Philips, Auditor of the State Road, and two Clerks, Judge Lumpkin on the Supreme Bench, and the State University. 7th Dist has Assistant Post Master General, Consul to Greece, and one or two Clerks at Washington, two Executive Secretaries, State Printer, and all the Droppings from the State 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 A Penalty. A master was convicted last week at Pike Court of cruelty to a slave, and Judge Caliincss fined him four hundred dollars. AVliat'i in a name! The Charleston Mercury calls the Hon. Jef ferson Davis a “Union Mormon.” The Beau Monde. 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 Business on tlie Railroads—Incom- IXG COTTON CROP, AND SO ON. The subjoined comparative statement obtain ed from the books of the South-AYestem Rail Road Company, while it is a golden exhibit for the Road, illustrates also the rapidity with which tlie crop is coming to market Duo al lowance, however, should be made for the effect of the extension ofthc road since last year.

Tlie Republican of yesterday, says that tlie earnings of the Central Road for September, were $157,726,19 against $98,767,40 in Sep tember, 1857—and for the first seven working days in October, $51,995,59 against $31,970,27 for the corresponding period last year.

AVc believe they will. Ex'tract from the speech of Hou Lawrence M. Keitt, of S. C. delivered at AVhippy Swamp, Oct 2ml 1858. .. 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 tain the rights and expectations of the South, i Even if tlie party ofthc North waver, I believe i yr. Buchanan will stand firm. I believe, tliere- 1 fore, that his Administration, ill the future, will House men Is also for a very heavy increase i tlie cotton crop of Georgia. 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.

Let us take a little scrap of paper, and eadi make out his list— Thackeray. 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 Attest Grand Secretary. oct!9—It Macon & Western R.
