Our Musical Friend Is a publication to whidi we should have cal. led attention last week. It furnishes approved and standard music, as well as new, at a much cheaper rate than it can be purchased in any other way. It is well got up. See advertise ment National Engravings. Mr. W. H. Holbrooke, of 157 Broadway, New York, and Pall Mall, London, called on us last week and exhibited two of a series of “Nation al Engravings,” which he has now in course of publication. The first was “Wyoming,” a spir ited representation of the frightful massacre in that peaceful valley, in which the struggles of the defenceless reapers with the murderous savages are depicted with a life-like effect The second is a home scene at Mount Vernon, sug gested in Irving’s notes, in which Washington, at the age of thirty, is represented as just re turned from a successful hunt with Lord Fair fax. The floor is piled with hare and feathered game, and the pair arc intent upon the motions ofJToney, who has a noble buck upon the scales to find his weight, while Mrs. Washington has just entered with refreshments, and behind her, her two children with a coy and eager curiosity on their countenances. Both are fine pictures and do Mr. Holbrooke great credit. We are Prince's Protean Fountain Pen. Mr. B. P. Driggs, Traveling Agent for this novel invention, is now in this city soliciting or ders, and will, in s day or two, leave for Colum bus and Montgomery. The Fountain Pen is an ingenious contrivance, by which the holder, made of India Rubber, conveys an unintcruptcd supply of ink to the gold pen for six or eight hours' steady writing. Mr. Driggs has many patterns of them, adapted to ladies as well as gentlemen; and has, also, several ingenious little articles of India rubber, which, in this shape, resembles ebony in color and consisten cy. The Fountain Pen has won many and pow erful friends here. a vote of 120 to 76. This bill gives to every head of a family, who Is a citizen or lias de clared his intention to become such, 160 acres from any unappropriated land belonging to the United States, on the simple condition that he shall make his home upon it and cultivate it Had this bill become a law fifteen years ago, it would have saved a vast deal of public cor ruption ; and would have added immensely to the power and happiness of the country. —Now let us see the vote on it in the Senate.” That is the New York Tribune’s shout, as fugleman of the “vote yourself a farm party,’, over the passage by the House on the 1st inst, of a measure so clearly defenceless on any sound principle of public policy, economy, or justice, that one is somewhat at a loss to imagine what could be said in faror of it It is the offspring of demagoguism, brought forth of moral cowar dice and distrust of the people. The yew plan it to catch votes, and the many support it in fear oflosing them; and thus the passage of such bill by the representatives of the people gives an ugly exhibition of one evil tendency of our po litical system, which, though the best in the world, has, like every human invention, its pe culiar faults and dangers. Since the origin of these bounty land measures, they have been steadily running from bad to worse, till they have at last come down to this absurd point of giving away the public property unasked—for nothing at all—except the blessed condescen sion of taking it It is a queer piece of business, look at it in any shape you may. Upon what principle shall the government of the United States hold itself bound to furnish the people with farms, and then hold herself clear of the collateral duty of stocking them ? Surely the farm will be use less to “each head of a family” without stock and utensils to work it, and this ought to be the next proposition in order. There must beseed, too, and a little stock of provisions, household furniture, and a house to put it in. And why should Congress come down on land altogether as the only thing worthless enough to give away ? We think this idea is insulting to the land-holders and agriculturists of the country. The land has cost the government a great deal of money and blood, and if price is an clement or a measure of value, the public land is certainly not valueless. Look at what we have won by arms. The wars of the revo lution and of 1812, were very costly affairs in both life and money. The war with Mexicothe same, and then ending in an expensive purchase pleased to learn they met with ready sale. *** J* Florida war and many others of Z J / the Indian wars, by which public land was ~ ‘ * — — * wrested from the savages, were all prosecuted at great sacrifice of money and life, and some times after an expensive money purchase of the land; and not a foot of public territory remains Advertisements.

Supreme Court Commenced the third week of its session, at this place, on yesterday morning—six cases yet remain to be argued on the Chattahoochee Docket It is thought that the call of the Ma con Docket will be commenced to-morrow mor ning, and that the remainder of this week, and all the next, will be occupied in the argument and discussion of cases yet undisposed of No case of general interest has been argued since our last We notice among others, the following gen tlemen In attendance on the Court:—Messrs. Dougherty, John A. Jones, A. H. Cooper, L. T. Downing, James Johnson, "Wiley Williams. James A. Ramsay, of Columbus; Messrs. Be- thune, Smith, Pou, and Perryman, of Talbot; Messrs. May, Corbitt and Reese, of Butler, Blanford of Marion, Pringlo of Houston, and Hunter of Crawford. We understand the Bar were very much a- mused at Judge Lumpkin’s opinion, pronounc ed on Saturday last, in affirming the judgment of the Court below, in a case where a defendant had been convicted of vagrancy. Tho indict ment goes on to charge that a certain person with force and arms, did wander and stroll a- bout, leading an idle and profligate life, and who is able to work and refuses so to do, to support himself. Just think of it—a person charged with force and arms, leading an idle life and refusing to work. The learned Judge thought that under the testimony in tho case, a large number of “ valuable members of society" in our State, might be invited into Court and sent from thence to the Penitentiary, where they would be forced to do hard labor. He seemed to favor a more rigorous execu tion of the vagrant laws and he was doubtless correct. which does not represent a positive money price to the country. But no complaint has ever yet been made about the price paid, as if the public held the land to be valueless. On the contrary, it is in serious contemplation to buy more, and the talk is now that if we can buy the Island of Cuba at 150 millions, it will be a good purchase. Why, therefore, Congress should conceive that land is the only thing which may be given away—or that it is right to give away land, but not the money which it costs, is not plain to our comprehension. We think “each head of a family” has just as strong claim to a gratuity of $200 out of the public treasury, as he has to 160 acres of land, and we could never vote for a measure of this character without giving him the election, in order to deal out even handed justice and serve all alike Why should the squatter on the frontier fare better than the "more necessitous laboring man of the city or village, who can't avail himself of this land bounty—can’t remove to and occupy the land? Furthermore, on what principle of justice to posterity is it upon which Congress determines that the landless of this generation only shall bo provided for at the public expense ? The public domain will run out in time, but the landless never. On the contrary, they will increase vastly in numbers and in ratio to the popula lion, and why not leave a chance for cheap lands to posterity? One might conclude the public lands a great curse, or afflicted with small pox, from the terrible anxiety of Congress, in the last ten years, to be rid of them. The Soldiers’ Bounty Land Bills were defen ded as pensions for public service; but wherein they justly held that position, it would have been much better to have substituted the money at the rate of a dollar and a quarter for every acre granted. It would have saved an immen sity of fraud, pcijury and shaving, by which, in tho end, the bulk of the grants passed into the hands of speculators, leaving the mass of the grantees a moiety of the bounty. But upon what consideration shall wc sustain the grants made by this bill ? If it is a reward for being born in the country—that could not well be avoided; for being naturalized—that surely ought to have been its own reward; for being married —that is a libel on the charming sex; if the bill is meant to encourage emigration—nobody com plains of a lack of it, amd the wannest suppor ters of this bill came into Congress as Northern Americans in opposition to foreign immigra tion if to encourage settlement—that is going on too fast for the benefit of the older States and the substantial progress of the new ones;— | of nominating candidates for Governor, conventions have usually been held in Milledge- ville m the month of June or July before the October election. Delegates are generally cho sen to attend these conventions by tl.e v| rious counties during the session of the Sprin Term of the Superior Courts, and as the Spring Circuits will commence within three or lour weeks, we beg leave to call the attention of the Central Executive Democratic Committee to the fact and suggest a call for a meeting to fix the time and place for holding the Convention. At the last State Convention which nomina ted Gov. Brown, a committee of three from each Congressional District was appointed, and we believe CoL John W. Duncan was the mover of the resolution, and by parliamentary usage would be the chairman. We are not certain as to Mr. Duncan's action in this matter, but if we are correct, it would not be improper for him to call the committee together for the purpose of early action. We are very glad to notice that a large ma jority of the Democratic papers of the State unite in the call for a convention, and we suppose the few Journals that united in adverse suggestion will readily yield to the wishes of so large a majority publicly expressed. The time for holding the last convention be came'tbc subject of a long and somewhat bitter controversy, and threatened to lead to unpleas ant results, but as the Committee are invested with the control of this question, we have no doubt the time and place, as suggested by that body, will not meet with serious opposition from any quarter. Hon. Levi B. Smith, of Talbot; Hon. J. M. Smith, of Upson, and Hon. A. II. Chappell, are the gentlemen appointed to represent this Dis trict in the Committee. We have no doubt that whenever and when ever the Convention shall assemble, its action will be harmonious and acceptable to the Demo cratic party of Georgia. Wc presume that Gov. Brown will be nominated. We see no reason why be should not be and many why he should. His policy, as Governor, in the main, has met with the approval of the people generally, and the Bank question upon which there was some feeling and much diversity of opinion, has be come an absolute issue. Many of the prominent Banks of the State now see that Gov. Brown did not desirrfto place un necessary restrictions upoirtheir business—that he only desired to execute the law, as he was bound to do by his official oath, and leave re sults to take care of themselves. Wc think we can observe in the tone of the Democratic papers a spirit of conciliation and kindness which will ensure a Democratic Tri umph in October next, and enure greatly to the peace and progress of the Empire State of the South. Let the Convention be called. A Look Backwards. H"N V. !I. 'TF.l’IiF.XS" DECLENSION. The Augusta Constitutionalist of the oth inst. has the following announcement: HON. A. II. STEPHENS.

Lore of Justice. Its a fine thing to see a man out of pure, na tural love of justice, grow indignant over the wrongs of his opponents 1 The Editor of the Savannah Republican is a fine fellow—we always knew him to be such; and when he speaks out in this fashion in behalf of the wrongs of some body whom he styles the “opponents of Gov. Brown,” and inquires if they have no rights— no feelings—are entitled to no respect,—we are doubly sure of his inborn and impulsive love of justice. Like the Arkansas magistrate, “he’s turn on gestis cf the fax is rite"—for which latter reservation we will substitute,—where Gov. Brown is not concerned. In the matter of our worthy Executive, however, the Repub lican seems to labor under a kind of Browno- mania, which gives his “sense of justice a one sided operation altogether. Wc are sure the “opponents of Gov. Brown” among the demo cracy of Georgia, will feel under extraordinary obligations to the Republican for his gratuitous championship of their wrongs. From tbe Republican of tbe ad Inst. Gov. Brown.—The Augusta Constitutionalist says the re-nomination of Gov. Brown is merely “a question of policy, and a legitimate subject for consultation and discussion in the party. It is not to be disguised that there arc influences in the State and in the party, which he has ar rayed against his administration, sufficiently strong to defeat Us re-nomination." So, should Got. Brown receive the vote of the next democratic convention, he will regard it not as a compliment to himself or a free-will offering, but that under the circumstances it is best for the party to tolerate him a year or two longer. It will not do to disturb the harmony of the party, is the idem In the name of com mon sense, are not those “influences in the State and in the party” referred to by the Con stitutionalist, entitled to be respected? and if disregarded, is the act not one that should “dis turb the harmony of the party”? Have the opponents of Gov. Brown among the Democrats of Georgia no rights, no feelings, that are enti tled to respect at the hands of their party ? We do not understand this way of preserving the integrity and good feeling of a party by ignor ing, or trampling under foot, the wishes and opinions ol a portion of it Observations.

The not be devoid of interest On the 19th of June, 1843, at a State Conven tion of the Whig party assembled at Milledge- ville, George W. Crawford, of Richmond, was nominated for Governor, and Alex. II. Stephens of Taliaferro, for Congress, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of the Hon. Mark A. Cooper, who bad been elected the year pre vious on the general ticket . , The Democratic State Convention met on the 5th of the same month and put in nomination for Governor Mark A. Cooper, of Muscogee, and James U. Starke, of Butts, for Congress. Before the election, on the 1st Monday in Oc tober, Hon. John B. Lamar, of Bibh, resigned his seat in Congress to which he had been elec ted the year previous. The Democratic Execu tive Committee selected Herschel V. Johnson, of Jefferson, as a candidate to till the vacancy, and the Whig party nominated Absalom 1L Chappell, iff Bibb. The State Ticket for Governor and Congress, in October, 1843, stood thus: Democratic—for Governor, Mark A. Cooper, of Muscogee. For Congress—Jalnes H. Starke, of llutt-. Herschel V. Johnson, of Jefferson. Whig.—For Governor, George W. Crawford, of Richmond. For Congress—Alexander IL Stephens, of Taliaferro, Absalom II. Chappell, of Bibb. The canvass was an exciting one. Mr. Stcph ens and Mr. Chappell stumped the State—and it was during this campaign, at a meeting in Floyd County, that an old Lady, who was pres ent and heard Mr. Stephens made the exclama tion which has so often been quoted—“Well! well! my goodness gracious! If I could have such a boy as that, I’d be willing to be cruci fied.” The result of the election was disastrous to the Democracy—they were routed horse foot and Dragoons. The Whigs carried the Legisla ture, Governor, and both Congressmen. Mr. Stephens ran ahead of CoL Chappell near a thousand votes, and beat Judge Starke the highest Democrat, thirty-five hundred votes. The Macon Telegraph in June, 1843, notic ing the proceedings of the Whig Convention says, “In short, Mr. Stephens like Mr. Crawford is a clever, respectable County Court Lawyer, and can pretty readily and correctly decide a case of Meum or Tuum, provided he is not feed on the wrong side,” It is needless for us to say, that the people did not coincide with the Telegraph's estimate of Stephens’ intellectual powers. The Democratic State Convention of 1843, passed resolutions favoring Mr. Calhoun as the candidate of the party for the Presidency. The Calhoun movement met with violent opposition in and out of the Convention, and after the pro ceedings of that body bad been published, heated controversy was carried on through th° papers, and at one time assumed so grave and serious an aspect as to threaten a revolt and a refusal to stand by the party nominees. The emeute was settled without a disruption of par ty ties, but many thought that the introduction of the Presidential question caused the defeat of the party, in the October election. George R Hunter, Esq., of Crawford, and Dr. David Ken dall, of Upson, were delegates from those coun ties, and opposed the introduction of such an issue as ill-timed and impolitic. But to return to Mr. Stephens. During the canvass of 1843, the whig papers in Georgia very generally hoisted the Clay flag, and the Democratic papers charged tho Whigs and their candidates with favoring a high protective Tar iff ; and Mr. Stephens, in a letter under his own signature, denied and repelled the charge as far as it concerned himself, as being false. In 1844, the year of the Polk and Clay cam paign, Mr. Stephens was a second time a can didate for Congress, not for the State at large, but as a representative of the 7th District—the legislature of 1843, having laid off the State in to Congressional Districts, in conformity with the act of Congress of 1841. CoL Janes, of Greene, was his opponent Mr. Stephens was re-elected, beating hisopponent fifteen hundred and three votes. In 184G, Mr. Stephens was elected over Wil liam Turner, of Putnam, by a majority of four teen hundred and forty-five vote& In 1848, Mr. Stephens was elected over Joe. Day, of Jones, by a majority of fourteen hun- dred and seventeen votes—this was the year of the Presidential campaign between Cass and Taylor—and one of the main issues in the can vass, made by the opponents of Mr. Stephens, was his motion to lay on the table tho Clayton Compromise. In 1851, the great contest between the Union and Southern Rights party, for Governor, came off. Howell Cobb, the Candidate of the Union party—Charles J. McDonald, the candidate of the Southern Rights party. Mr. Stephens, this year, was opposed by David W. Lewis, Esq., of Hancock, a Southern Rights Whig, and was re elected by a majority of twenty-seven hundred and eighty-nine votes. Our readers will note that the previous election was held in’48—three years intervening. Before 1851, the Congres sional elections were held one year in advance of the Congress to which members were chosen, but the Legislature of 1849 changed tbe law, and brought on the elections the October pre ceding tbc opening of the first regular Session of the Congress to which members were chosen. In 1853 Mr. Stephens was opposed by Mr. Jones of Burke, Mr. Todd of Jefferson, and Mr. Cuyler W. Young of Ilalcyondale. His majo rity over the combined opposition was near three thousand votes. This year Mr. Stephens was elected from the Eighth (Mr. Toombs,) District Tho Legislature of 1851 having elected Mr. Toombs a Senator in the place of Judge Berrien, whose term of service expired 4th March, 1853. Judge Berrien resigned in the fall of 1852—and Gov. Cobb tendered the appointment, to fill the vacancy, to Hon. John E. Ward, the present Minister to China. He, however, declined to accept, and his friend and law partner, Horn Robert M. Charlton, was appointed New York was given to the people.

Wo copied yesterday an article on this sub ject from the Macon Telegraph, in which we found much to approve and but little to con demn. The Telegraph's emphatic repudia tion of the attempt to whip the people into the support of parly nominations meets our vieivs exactly; but we think that the remedy which it proposes is not the proper one. It propo ses that the legislature again take the election of Judicial Officers into its own hands. Would this remedy the evils of a party judiciary ? We know by past experience that the Legis lature would more generally make party tests of these elections than the people are now do ing, piece of wood, upon which the ball of the foot rests. Thc shoes used by the women are smal ler than those used by the men, and of a dif ferent shape. The feet of the person using the shoes are encased in mocassins of buck skin, sufficiently large to admit three or four thicknesses of blanket. The blanket is used not only to keep the feet warm, but also to prevent tbe toes from being chafed by the strings of buckskin which are passed over them and by which the shoes are fastened to the feet The dog trains used are made of a flat board, about half an inch in thickness, ten inches in width, and from six to ten and twelve feet in length, and are turned up in front At each side of the train a rope is fastened, running the whole length of it, and a “train cloth” of canvass is used, considerably larger than tbe train. The articles to be carried are placed on the cloth, from one end of the train to the other. The cloth is then wrapped over them, and laced up by means of a string passing un der the ropes at the side. For a tramp the edibles carried arc. usually, some flour, pilot bread, salt pork, tea and su gar; and cooking utensils, a tin kettle and a frying-pan! The food for the dogs is general ly tallow and corn meal. The bedclothes are a single blanket to each man. Indians or half- breeds are employed as guides and assistants during a tramp. Imagine a white man and an Indian about starting on a “tramp” of three or four hun dred miles, through a forest unfrequented by all living beings except wild birds and animals. The provisions arc placed upon the train, the dogs are harnessed to it, one ahead of the other, to the number of four or five. The In dian takes the lead with hi3 snow-shoes, the dogs follow with the train, and the “pale face” brings up the rear, with yells to the dogs in front of him. Tramp, tramp, tramp, until noon, when a bait is made; the train is un packed. thc kettle, tea, and sugar is produc ed, a fire lighted, and, after taking a cup of tea, the word is given, and again the tramp commences. Tbe party makes another halt in time to prepare tho camping ground before night sets in. Thc dogs are left standing in their harness, the Indian takes the ax and cuts enough fnel to last until morning, the white man uses a snow-shoe for a shovel, and clears away the snow until the ground is reached. A shelter is then built over the cleared space, of poles covered with evergreen boughs. The front of the “wigwam” is left open, and the ground covered with hemlock boughs. Im mediately opposite the front a rousing log fire is built, tbe dogs unharnessed and the supper prepared. The supper is composed of a cup of tea. some pork, cooked in the frying pan, and some flour cooked in the fat left from the pork. After supper the pipes and tobacco are pro duced, and the white man smokes in front of the fire, while thc Indian cooks the supper of corn and tallow for the dogs, in the same ket tle in which the tea had been made but a few minutes before. After being satisfied with his “smoke.” the pale face and Indian wrap their blankets round them and lay down side by side on the hemlock boughs, with their feet to the fire, and sleep as sweetly and as sound ly as “e’er did king upon the richest damask.” In the morning, before day, thp Indian pre pares the breakfast, which is eaten, and the travelers again move on. The dogs are fed once a day, and the reason is, they travel much better. A distance of thirty miles per day is traveled with ease bv those accustomed Are you a fault-finding old maid, Or Batchelor? By giving vent To petulance, it is betrayed Tbat you your life mistake repent. Are you, no matter who ? Take heed, Tbat scolding is no small offence; For it has caused more heart’s to bleed Than famine, war or pestilence. EYA LIND. For the Georgia Telegraph. The Case of Guilford vs. the State. The writer of this article, as a member of the Legislature, strenuously opposed the organiza tion of the Supreme Court of Georgia. He has watched thc action of the Court in its adminis tration of thc law with no ordinary degree of in terest. It, (the Court,) started off well under the guidance of strong minds and pure hearts. Alter awhile two of these Judicial pilots left the Bench they had adorned so well. An enlight ened public, sensible of the great loss thc State had sustained by their withdrawal began to fear that the Court would lose thc hold it had acquired on thc popular mind—that the succes sors of Warner and Xisbct would not enforce the rule of “stare decisis,” but would say, as Justice Heath once said, “that many of the ca ses reported in that book are not law.” Hap pily for the State these anticipations have not been realized, since few of the decisions made by the original Bench of Justices have been overruled—none indeed, that would bear the test of reason and authority. True, the Court has in some instances very powerfully developed principle independent of what are called author ities. It would be much to be lamented if this Court were bound by a decision not founded on correct principles simply because it had the sanction of authority. It is not too much to say that while the present Court may have commit* ted some errors of judgment, their administra tion of thc law, taken as a whole, has been sat isfactory to thc people. That tho Court has made many enlightened and just decisions, no body can deny. One of the latter class stands at the head of this article; a case demonstrative of tho great utility of this Court The facts briefly, as reported in the case in the 24th Ga. Rep., were these: A man by the name of Thompson stabbed Calhoun, who died of the wound, while Guilford held Calhoun, and the question on the trial of Guilford, who was indicted for murder, was whether Guilford was trying to part them, or holding Calhoun to enable Thompson to cut him. The evidence in thc case clearly authorized thc jury to have en tertained a reasonable doubt as to thc purpose of the prisoner Guilford, but, influenced doubt less by a stirring appeal to their passions made by counsel for thc State, and in thc absence of any proof tbat Guilford inflicted even tho slight est blow upon Calhoun, thc Jury by their ver dict found him guilty of murder. The Circuit Judge refused a new trial in thc case, and this innocent man would have been hung bad not thc Supreme Court reversed thc judgment of the Court below, on the ground that thc verdict was contraiy to the evidence. The able Judge, in delivering thc opinion of the Court, used this wise and humane language: “VYc think there is enough to raise a reasonable doubt, as to whether Guilford was not really, rather than feignedly, merely endeavoring to separate thc combatants.” Now, in this case, there was a How could our friend of the Enquirer have misread tho article he has done us the com-! tb , c us< : °f snow-shoes.
