question. There was no portion of the coast of Afri
ca, to which they could be removed with any regard
to humanity, axoapt to Liberia. Under these drciia-
ataneea. aa agreement waa entered into with tbe Colo-
nfaUioa Society, on the 7lh of September last, a copy
of which la herewith transmitted, under which the bo-
ciety enraged, for the consideration of forty-fire thou
sand dollars, to receive these Africans in 1 Iberia, from
tbe agent of tba United States, and furnish them, tin
ring tba psriod of one year thereafter, with com form
bio shelter, dotting, provisions, and medical attend
ance, carumg tba children to receive schooling: and
all, whether children or adults, to be instructed in tbe
arts of drfiixed life, suitable to their condition. This
aggregate of forty-fire thousand dollar* waa baaed up
on an allowance of ooe hundred and fifty dollars lor
aaeb individual, and as there has been considerable
mortality among them, and may be more before they
reach Africa, tba society have agreed, in an equitable
spirit, to mass such deduction from the amount as, un
der tha circumstances, may appear just and reasonable.
This cannot be fixed until wa shall ascertain tbe actual
number which may become a charge to tba society.
It was also distinctly agreed that, under no circnm
stances, shall this Government be called upon for any
additional izpenKi •
The agents of the society manifested a [laudable de
sire to conform to tbe wishes of the Government
throughout tbe tnuunetioo. They assured me tba1,
after a careful calculation, they would be required to
expeed the sum of ooe hundred and fifty dollars on
each individual in complying with tba agreement, and
they would bare nothing left to remnnerata them for
tbetr care, trouble and responsibility. At all events
1 could make no batter arrangement, and there was no
other alternative, During the period when tbe Gov
ernment itself, through its own agents, undertook tba
task of providing for captured negroes in Africa, tba
tba coat per bead waa very much greater.
There baring been no outstanding appropriation

that aa appropriation may be made of tbe amount nee-

in the practice of Coagnea lias proved to be a whole
some reform. It exerted a beneficial Influence on tbe

Coolness iu Danger.
On the 23«1 of last August the British .ship
Eastern, bound from Liverpool for Melbourne
Australia, with 227 persons on board, including
the crew, was discovered to be on fire. She
was some six days sail from port, and more
than 600 miles from the nearest land, with a
stiff gale blowing. The fire was first dicovered
by the appearance of smoke issuing from the
fore hatch. The passengers and crew were all
ordered on deck; die women and children were
placed upon the poopdcck for safety, and the
ship put before the wind; both passengers and
crew, cheered by the heroic calmness of the
captain, who kept even tbe women and children
quiet by his assurances of ultimate deliverance,
worked manfully at the pumps, but it was
found, after immense quantities of water bad
been forced into the hold, that the flames were
slowly but surely making headway toward the
stem of the vessel
The waves ran so high that no boat could
have lived ten minutes in the sea, even if launch
ed, so heavily crowded as they must hare been
to contain even half the crew and passengers.
They were, however, provisioned and made
ready for launching at a moment’s notice. \Va-
ter failing to produce any effect upon the flames,
an effort was made to smother them with old
sails, blankets, shawls, plaids, Ac.; this prov
ing a failure it became apparent toall that noth
ing but the chance of being picked up, which
was most unlikely, as they were out of the or
dinary coarse of vessels, remained. Still in
spired by the noble example of tbe captain,
they worked manfully on, and kept the flames
from spreading above hoard for over 30 hours
after the interior of the ship was almost wholly
on fire. They had at length become thorougfa-

The Legislature have paid them a marked
and deserved compliment in selecting them to
inaugurate and complete the great work of re
modelling our system of law, and it will require
all their time, and talents, and knowledge to do
justice to the important subject committed to
their charge.
AA'c need many radical reforms in our Judicia

arranged under one head—we want the cobwebs,
the useless technicalities which have cumbered
our statute book, swept off—we want simplicity
in language, in remedy, in execution, in appeal—
we want pleadings pruned and condensed—wc
want an indoctrination upon our common law
notions, of some of the great principles of the
civil law—our penal laws want revision—our
laws in regard to attachments, garnishment

zards, has erected a number of misnomers for
colleges—inferior schools that liave been known
to furnish young ladies with diplomas, when
they could not iiavc written a dozen lines cor-
rectiy at the peril of their lives. And besides
tiiis, will it not tend to depreciate the home
education of girls? Grant that girls havoas
much right, as much capacity, and as much
use for a collegiate education as boys, should its
pursuit engross their whole time ? Let it not
be forgotten that girls are to make women.
They are not to go out in the world as boys do
after graduating. They can not do so at the
South at any rate, and if they could, would the
happiness of cither sex be enhanced by such a
course ? AVho would take care of the homes ?
Those homes where every man expects to realize
not only the negative enjoyment of a respite
from the bustling cares of an outdoor world,
but the positive charms of a joyous little in
door world, of which woman mast be the ar
chitect, her virtues the materials.
A desire to shine in the drawing-room is laud
able; but that it should be the aim of womanly
ambition Is denied. AA'hen at home, a lady
should be as much at home in her kitchen as in
her parlor. Some ladies, wrongly educated,
treat the idea of having any thing to do with
the kitchen, with contempt; and really their
kitchens generally arc contemptible places on
account of their filthiness. Perhaps these de
grading places would be a little less repulsive,
if their lady owners would visit them more fre
quently. Gentlemen say, that ladies beautify
and improve whatever they wish to, and why
shouldjiitchcns be an exception ? AVhat signi
fies an array of servants, including steward,
French cook, kc., if the Mistress be unskilled in
domestic affairs ? However perfect each depart
ment may be in itself, will they not clash with
out the conservative bond of a judicious super
intendence ? Most assuredly they will.
It Is often argued, and sometimes by mothers
who have been properly educated themselves,
that it is impossible for want of time, to give
same order; yet such a conclusion would be
altogether erroneous. Mr. Fleming is a gentle
man of acknowledged talent as an actor, rank
ing amongst the first of American tragedians.,
AVe have often seen Booth and Forrest in their
favorite characters, yet making allowance for
deficiency of scenery, and some other accesso
ries, Sir. Fleming’s acting affords us as much
pleasure as wc ever experienced from that of
the two actors just mentioned.
His entire company, too, possess a fair show
of talent Mrs. Fleming, thongh a quiet actress,
shows herself to be a lady of great taste, of su
perior cultivation, and most pleasing manners.
Miss Thomson, the daughter of a celebrated ac
tor, is young and beautiful and in such charac
ters as Pauline and the like, fa a perfect “Little
Treasure.'’
Miss A'aughan, whose beautiful stories aiid
poems we have all read in the Ledger and other
periodicals, is a beautiful girl and a pleasing ac
tress.
But we will not specify further.» Let those
who are best capable of judging, see and hear
for themselves, and if the company be found
worthy let us sustain them, and they will again
return to delight us with their beautiful deline
ations. X.
Dwellings for Safe.
It is not often in Macon that more favorable
opportunities for the purchase of dwellings
occur than are presented in the Telegraph to
day, in the advertisements of Messrs. Adam£ and
Knight Both offer residences which hare been
built and improved for themselves alone, and
surrounded with the comfortable and tasteful;
combines conservatism with decision. To
sufficient readiness in debate, he adds clear logic
and calm discernment
The puiport of this Senatorial election cannot
be mistaken,
1. It sustained State Rights.
2. It absolutely condemned the agitation of the
Slave Trade question.
3. It indicated the policy that the people of
the State should not merge in ary party, but,
when advisable, should co-operate as allies, not
partisans, with the Democratic party of the South
.4. It gave assurance that Senator Hammond
would receive the confiding support of his State.

Penitentiary to be Repaired.

common as it is ? Merely because it is fashion

breeding. The writer knows an instance,
though not in this State, of a wealthy lady, the
mother of a large family, who makes herself ri
diculous in her endeavors to convey the idea
that she is as ignorant of house-hold affairs as a
young girL Besides original ingenious ques
tions, she has been known to put the hac-k
neyed ones of how many needles does it require
to knit a pair of hose? Have you a cow that

Is it astonishing, that her daughter should, for
the purpose of taking exercise, dig holes in the

If girls were not pushed into society while

A malady fa now prevailing as an epidemic
in Albany, New York, which lias created great
consternation, as a number of persons have fal
leu victims to it. The symptoms are thus de
scribed by the Troy Times: “The patient is
attacked with what at first resembles an ordi
nary influenza, accompanied by those general
indications of physical weakness and lassitude
that follow a severe cold. This feature of the
case soon disappears, and is followed by a
glandular swelling, acute inflammation, and
excessive soreness. In some cases, the final
appearances are strikingly identical with
those of‘black tongue’ or putrid sore throat.’ ”
Suppuration takes place, and the gatherings
become very extensive before the fatal result
supervenes An Albany physician says that the
true technical name of the disease is dipther-
itis, pellicular, or pseudomembranous inflam
mation of the throat. But a prominent phy
sician in Troy, where the same disease has pre
vailed, thinks it fa a type of the malignant ery
sipelas, which prevailed entensively iu AVes-
tern New York some years ago, and proved
exceedingly fatal in its results, until physicians
had familiarized themselves with it.

Stories of Hie Pyramids.
A winter who has recently yisited the Py
ramids of Egypt says of the great Pyramid, the
interior of which he" explored, that more remark
able than the chamber and passage is the well,
whose construction must have had some myste
rious connection with the Nile, as being in all
one hundred and ninety feet deep, its bottom
nearly on a level with the surface of the river.
It is between two and three feet deep in diame
ter, and the explorer, lowered down by means
of long ropes, passes through two or more cham
bers in the irregular descent The Arabs are
afraid to go down, on account of the genii sup
posed to inhabit the mysterious chambers. The
following stories about the Pyramids arc rela-
tSTbyMassondi, an Arab author:
Twenty men of tlie Fayoom wished to exam
ine the great pyramid. One of them was low
ered down the well by means of a rope, which
broke at the depth of one hundred and fifty cub
its, and the man fell to the bottom. He was
three hours in foiling. Ilfa companions heard
terrible cries, and in *hc evening they went out
of the pyramid ar.d sat down by it to talk over
the matter. The man who was lost in the well
suddenly appeared before them out of the earth,
and uttered these exclamations: "Irak! Saka! ’
which they did' not understand. He then fell
down/lead, and was carried away by his friends.
The above words were translated by a man of
Slaid, as follows : He that meddles with and cov
ets what does not belong to him. is unjust”
Dr. King, of Athens, once related to me a
startling adventure of his friend, Mr. Fisk, in
the well of the pyramid of Cheops. The daring
traveler, whose ashes rest on Mount Sion, was
lowered down by several Arabs. After he had
descended a great distance hfa taper went out
leaving him in Egyptian darkness. The Arabs,

descent and held him suspended—he knew not
