It is a style of goods never before offered in .Macon, and of a quality not to be found any where out of Uie great cities of the country, and by no means common in them. These goods ore a direct importation from Italy —ore taken from the original cases, put together and first offered in Macon. Go and see them. Financiering in Oregon. The Oregon war claims arc said to amount to $4,449,949—the average expense per day of every man in the field is $11.21. Laborers were hired at $4 per day—clerks at $10—little steamboats at $000 to $3,000 per day—horses were shod at $12 each—bought at $550 and sold at $3o to $50 each. Oats $7 per bushel— peas 30 cts. per pound—pasturage $3 per day. 150 sheets drawing paper $438.75, and 75 sheets afterwards sold at $11.25. One private held claims for personal service amounting to $8,829. The war was of nine months’ duration, and its brevity was a happy circumstance. The coun try could not have stood it long. Unfortunately for the claims, the government commissioners have cut them down somewhat Editorial Personalities. We perceive our contemporaries of the Intel ligencer and American, at Atlanta, have been interchanging little diplomatic notes with some bearing on pistols, but in this case with the hap py result of a better mutual understanding.— Peace and prosperity to them! Without any particular allusion to this controversy (knowing nothing about it) we may be permitted to re mark upon one or two peculiarities in American journalism which arc the fruitful sources of such difficulties. The first of these, is the universal habit of substituting the mere personality of the Editor for that of the journal he publishes. In Europe the journal is an independent Estate— holding its own consistent character—maintain ing its own opinions; and the conductors are often impersonal. Here, as a result, perhaps, of the multiplicity of newspapers and their corn- ptraiivc individual unimportance, the print be comes identified with the leading editor, and then, ill ardent controversy, bis entire personal ity is dragged into the debate, and bis peculiari ties of habit, dress or appearance—his dietetics —the house he lives in—the number of his chil dren, and every thing else appertaining to him are made to furnish piquant pleasantries to en liven a discussion of facts or principles. A few years ago, a good deal of regard was paid to the parliamentary rule, and it was held discourteous to introduce an editor's name in debate; but we think it Is mainly the evil example of the New York city press—wherein the Herald Is Bennett —the Tribune, Greeley—the Times, Raymond— Enquirer, Webb, Ac., Ac., which has led to the practical abandonment of an Editorial etiquette, founded not only in good manners, but in sound sense and philosophy; for where, in party con- Snprcmc Conrt—Important Decis- IOXS.

Seventeen cases are yet to be ar gued, and among others, the Everett and Whit field case from Houston, and Causey vs. Wiley, Banks A Co. from Crawford. The record in these cases are voluminous, and involve many nice points, and the argument of each will con sume a day, and therefore we presume the Court will not iuljourn (before Wednesday the 23d. During the past week, opinions have been pronounced, among others, in the following ca ses: The Sheriff of Muscogee raised money on a fi. fa. and deposited.it in the Manufacturers’ & Me chanics* Bank of Columbus. Before Court the Bank broke. Held by tbe Court, McDonald pronouncing the opinion, that the Sheriff was liable. It was the duty of the Sheriff to keep the money, and if he placed it out of his hands, he must take the risk. Judge McDonald said that were it otherwise in these days of Wild Cat 1 Banks, the money of parties would be very un safe. Tire derision seems to meet the assent of the Bar, and will be well receiver! by the coun try gcncrallr. In a case from Muscogee, Scnning pronounc ing the opinion, held, that where a negotiable note is in the hands of a third party as collateral, the security was relieved, if notice under the Statute was given to the holder and suit was not aommenevd within the time prescribed by law.

The February number of Humphrey’s Jour nal communicates another discovery in the art, which is of almost incalculable value in book making and the diffusion of knowledge. It is styled “Photo-lithography,” and is nothing less than engraving on stone by tbe Camera, through thc simple photographic process. Thc light from thc Camera, acting probably by means of some corrosive substance covering the prepared surface of the stone, engraves on the substance of the stone itself a perfect impression of the image thrown upon it, and in a twinkling thc stone Is prepared to print the picture by the Lithographic process, and will bear 300 impres sions without a renewal of sun-light etching. For example, if it is desired to procure a repre sentation of a house or landscape, the Photo grapher will first take his ordinary representa tion in ambrotype and then transfer it almost instantaneously by thc same process to the Lithographer's stone,—thc whole being effected as perfectly as, and with more literal exactness than, by tbe slow and laborious processes of drawing and engraving, and at a cost compara tively inconsiderable. It is needless to say that such a discover}- as this will be of immense advantage in the cheap illustration ot works in all thc departments of science, and in the illus tration and adornment of books of travel, Ac. Ac. The number of Humphrey’s Journal which communicates -.his interesting discovery, con tains two lithog aphic engravings produced in this way: one is a picture of thc Texas horned frog—another an ornamental frontispiece embo dying a map. Both are exactly like ordinary lithographs. Although we have mentioned at some length probably the crowning achievement of Photo graphy in its economic uses to man, its progress and improvement in portrait making is equally remarkable. The Photographer now produces every known representation of thc human face divine, with a fidelity and beauty unattainable a year or two ago. lie takes precedence of the portrait painter, and first throws on the canvas a shadow of tlie living image, and if the painter fills up the outline with fidelity, thc likeness is an exact copy from nature, and Is perfect Sci entific experiment and discovery have adapted a vast variety of substances to receive and secure the Photographic image. Beginning with thc highly polished silver plate, it has been carried by successive discoveries to glass, paper, canvas, copper, leather, India ruhlier—in fact, to almost every substance, as various in kind and quality as thc different pictures which are elaborated by this ingenious process. ffc would advise our friends visiting in Ma con or resident here, who feel curious about such matters, to spend a leisure hour at Wood’s Gallery inspecting the progress of this beautiful art and thc different styles of picture obtained by it With the benefit of some observation, we arc prepared to say there is scarcely an Es tablishment of thc kind in the country which will present more attractive and interesting spe cimens, or better illustrate the progress of thc photographic art His pictures are not sur passed in beauty by those of any Photographer whatever, and lie has enlisted in his service two of the best artists we know.

It is evidently “valuable paper.” We copy verbatim, thc edi tor’s salutatory to hU brethren of thc press, and congratulate the old Dominion on this accession to its literary strength.

The Milledgeville Recorder, in speaking of Butt’s new map of Georgia, has the following very just comments upon thc folly of thc Leg islature in uselessly establishing so many new counties. We have been struck with tlie size and shape of many of tlie new counties that have been made in tlie last few years by thc Legislature, as shown by Mr. Butts’ Map. Of all imagine l>le angles, (and tri-angels) shapes, sizes and forms for counties, Georgia will be hard to beat Some, to our eye, arc not much larger than decent potatoe patch, and others arc so tortured into a sliape, tliat it would make one cross-eyed to look at them long. Now, we have no objec tions to new counties, when there is an abso lute necessity for it, and when said counties can pay more into the State Trcasuary than they take out for their members to the legislature and for school purposes. Some of tlie counties in thc State arc an outrage upon all sense of justice, as the tax books show that they are a burden rather than a blessing. And then thc idea of one hundred and thirty-tico Senators!’— Thinking men of Georgia ponder upon that fact No wonder wc have such legislation. And think of the price we pay foe it! Forty days at six- dollars a day for 132 Senators amounts to thc small sum of $31,680, independent of clerks, messengers and door keeper, which amounts from five to ten tliousaud dollars more! We could not help being led to these reflections by looking at some of thc small counties created for selfish purposes by some few aspiring and would lie legislators. * Tbe LaGrange Reporter aud a CONSERVATIVE OPPOSITION. The Reporter of the 10th comes to us in new ; type. Always an exceedingly neat as well as j spirited and able opposition print, we are pleased to see this and other evidences of its pecuniary ; well being. The leading article in this number, 1 following suit with the Athens Watchman, the Atlanta American and others, upon the Tribune, Seward, Black Republican American project for a general coalition against the Democracy—a : project which has already received the endorse- i ment of tho Richmond Whig and some other South American prints, and is endorsed with very little qualification by the Watchman and the American,—speaks of the Macon Telegraph as “wonderfuUy exercised” about a scheme to unite the conservative opposition elements of every section to put down the democratic party. The sincerity of tho Reporter, we fear, was badly strained or put to the blush, when he penned these words. Let us do him no injus tice, however. He does except to Greeley, Se ward & Co., as components in this conservative opposition; but a coalition without them will be like the play of Hamlet with Hamlet omitted. It will reduce him to a single state—eight elec toral votes—perhaps, if he gets them, and a total of some seven or eight hundred thousand popular votes. No intelligent man of any party, how- j ever inveterate his prejudices, can blind himself; to thc foct that a coalition of this ciiaractcr must either embrace the whole free soil party in its entire length and breadth—with all its destruc tive and disorganizing dogmas, or foil to hold out any hope of success. So thc LouisviUe Journal and Richmond Whig admit in their re cent diplomatic interchanges with the New York Tribune on the matter of the proposed coalition. They insist tliat thc Northern free soilers shall drop or modify some of their heresies—to which the Tribune replies by citing the last Presidential election returns—1,800,000 votes for Fremont against 800,000 for Mr. FiUmore, and says tliat thc best terms the stronger party ^o thc coali tion can concede, are that thc slavery question shall be ignored as a test, both parties maintain ing their statu quo on that poinl and afterward, when victory is won, thc longest pole shaU knock down thc persimmon. These arc the only possible terms of a coalition which South American papers, who have not yet come heartily into it, but hesitate—(now nibbling at the cheese and now looking at the trap)—call a union of the “conservative ele ments and when wc come to criticise the tl- ments— the ready answer is, look at your own “Van Burens, and Cochranes—they are no bet ter. If you act with them, why should not we coalesce with Seward V" Rut if our opposition contemporaries can blind themselves with such sophistry, they wiU find it hard to blind thc peo ple or bring them by it into a political intrigue to place the government of this country in thc bands of fanatics whose fundamental dogmas are—no more slave States—no more slave ter ritory—no fugitive slave law and thc abolition of slaveiy in tlie States as incompatible with the existence of free labor in the North. But if the slaveiy question were thrown out of thc account altogether, our contemporaries might freely acquit the Telegraph of any thing like a hope or fear that the democracy is in dan ger of being supplanted by anything resembling a conservative opposition on any subject It is not alone on thc slavery issue tliat the Democratic party embodies now tlie only organized conser vatism of tlie country; and wc think it would puzzle thc Reporter, the Watchman, and the American to illustrate the conservatism of their branch of the opposition upon any solitary point of public policy within thc last five or six years.

The Dying Wife. 5 ou need not close the shatter, love, ’Tis not the evening's breath, That thus bedews my forehead cold; It is the damp of death. But rather draw the curtain back. That I may look my last, On that familiar scene so dear, In da} s forever past Tis sweet to hear the merry birds, And see the flowers in bloom; While from the fields, tbe soft Spring air, Comes freighted with perfume. And see how safely o’er the lake, That little sai 1-boat steers; While like my fragile barque of life, Its destined port it nears. And yon, dear Church, 'tis just a year. Since there I stood your bride; While on my cheeks a glow of joy. With timid blushes vied— And while our hearts, in unison, Beat time with love’s own thrill, A harmony yet nndisturbed, Though soon wiU mine be still. And there’s my Mother’s grave, where I Have mused and wept for hours, And felt while scattering violets, That hopes oft fade like flowers. And look! a prospect glorious. Gleams through yon veil of sky; Oh! dearest, but for leaving yoa. It were not hard to die. But don’t grieve thus ; we’ll meet again, Where we no more shall part— Where, though there is no marriage tic, Heart may be linked with heart. I do not say remepiber me, For that I know you’ll do; Nor change, nor time, can conquer love, Like yours, so warm and true. But I do ask that thoughts of me, May not be always sad; Think sometimes of an angel wife, Whose bliss should make you glad. And if you should in future yeais, With sore temptations meet, Let my name be a talisman, To stay your wandering feet. But hark! I hear seraphic strains, In heavenly concord swell; As all else fades, the sky grows bright— I’m going, love, farewell. EVA LIND. For tho Telegraph. Mb. Cusbt:—The Liverpool correspondent of the Savannah Republican, in his last letter, January, 21st, (per Asia,) says your prices are looked upon as foolish, if your crop is to exceed 34 millions of bales. The same writer, in his own estimate ot positive consumption, shows that a crop otless than 3600,000 will not meet the actual consumption of the world. Here are his own figures: Assumed conaump'n of Northern States, 700,000 •• * of the continent, 1000,000 ProbsWe consumption of England. 1,900,000 Usmanmr or the Soitii—Gam News!— Thc Winchester Home Journal of tlie 3d inst says: “ A letter from Bishop Polk, of Louisiana, , , informs us that lie and Bishop Elliott have be- me, however, which 1 shall shortly pub- gun the work of raising the endowment fund for perhaps in tho Richmond Examiner, would Religious Views or Mr. Calhouu. Richard K. Cralle, the biographer of Mr. Cal houn, publishes a statement in reference to thc religious opinions of the great Carolinian, from which we extract as follows: Hc was never connected with, or (to use the vulgar phraseology) “belonged” to any of the denominations of theso-caUcd Christian Churcli. His understanding was too exalted, too clear and truthfully trained, to yield a blind obedi ence to tbe miserable dogmas of the present po pular creeds. 11c looked to liis Maker, and not •. „v..k anu pernaps wicKeu men, ior ms laith; nor did he trust the mighty interests of the fu ture to the preposterous, yet pleasant inventions of councils, conventions, or other religious cau- cusscs. Hc thought for himself determined for himself acted for himself; and, doubtless, never dreamed, in life or in death, of shunning respon sibility by seeking shelter behind any mental intercessor. He certainly never confided in the salvatory virtues of Priest’s prayers, purchased at two cents a piece—nor in the imputed right eousness of his Lord and Master—in itself, infi nite—nor on original election and predestination to heaven—nor on “justification by laith only” —the most awful delusion tliat ever took pos session of thc human mind-—nor on “irresisti ble grace,” and the final perseverance of thc Saints, viz. ourselves—that sweet yet deadly morsel in thc mouth of sinners—nor yet in tlie moral invulnerability resulting from being sous ed, heels over head, in a horse-jKind, somewhat after the manner adopted by tlie mother of Pa ris, that pest of Troy. To all these inventions—inventions tliat have sowed iniquity throughout tlie Christian orb— he bowed in silence; but his head and his heart were far from them. He looked to tlie com mandments of his Creator, as prescribing tlie rule both of faith and of life; and never have I seen a man who, in mortal infirmity, so seldom violated them. I might, indeed, well use the language employed by the biographer of Charles Jas. Fox, and there were many points of strong resemblance between these two distinguished men, in respect to this whole subject: “ Though Mr. Fox was no formal religionist, yet thc es sence of religion, which centres in charity, was thc predominant sensation of his heart If re ligion consist in doing to others as we would they should do unto us; if it have any connec tion with a holy endeavor to preserve peace on earth and good will among all men—then we will venture to say tliat Mr. Fox, who never made any show of religion, was, in fact, one of thc most religious men of the age.” This language is eminently descriptive of the religious character of Mr. Calhoun. He made no outward show of the conventional sanctity; but regarded religion as an irresistible and es sential property of the inner man, and not the mere outward fiicultv of the face, knees, liands and tongue. But notwithstanding the identity of his views in this respect, you were misin formed when told that he was a “Swcdenbor- gian”—a term of reproach very self-complals- antly applied by our bishops and other clergy to designate thc Lord's New Church, of whose peculiar tenets they are, confessedly, very pro foundly ignorant That Mr. Calhoun ever adopt ed these peculiar tenets is unknown to me. It is true that he was very fond of discussing such subjects in his leisure hours! and often made tlie philosophical views of the Church the sub jects of our evening conversations. Yet I am by no means authorized to say that he ever considered them as articles of religious faith. The truth is, his time was too much engrossed by the never-ceasing labors of his public life to admit of this. I have, indeed, heard through one of his distinguished friends—a member of Congress from South Carolina—that, in his last illness, he expressed strong convictions of the truth of the doctrines, but this may be rather ail inference than a fact. His last conversation For the Telegraph. “ The next Democratic Convention. WHEN & WHERE SHALL IT MEET?” Mb. Editob:—In your paper of the 8th inst., you called attention to thc subject of tlie meet ing of thc next Democratic Convention—and as you seemed to be on thc “wrong track,” as! to the Chairman of thc Democratic Committee, I had determined to advise with you as to thc matter, but thc “Constitutionalist" has very correctly and properly put the matter right— The Hon. John E. Ward was appointed by the President of the Convention, Chairman of thc Executive Committee, and as, according to Par liamentary usuage, the next man on thc Com mittee acts as Chairman in thc absence of thc Chairman, and as Col Ward is now and will be absent from the State for a year or two, thc Hon- Peter E. Love is now the Chairman. I trust 3,600,000 So you see, according to thc Gent's own fig ures, it will require 3,600,000 bales of Ameri can Cotton to meet the consumptive wants of the world. To be more plain—England, thc Continent and thc United States will not only- take, but spin up every pound of a crop of3,600,- 000 bales before, or by January next, (I860.) He further says, “ Wlien thc demand and sup ply appear to be on a level, they are content to settle down on 7d or 14c J>er pound, for a price; and they can well afford to do it." Yet this same correspondent, in the very next sentence, says “I must confess myself attached to GJ as an average price for Mid. Orleans, in 1859. This writer tells us thc manufacturer of England is willing, and can tcell afford to pay Td. for Mid. Orleans, and yet hc is attached to, and wishes to sec Mid. Orleans reduced to 6Jd. Mark thc gentleman’s language. He does not say they can afford to i»ay 7d., but they can veil afford to pay “d. He employs language tliat leaves no doubt as to their ability to pay 7d. for Mid. Orleans or Upland fair. 11c uses a term that makes thc profit to tlie manufacturer enriching and plain at 7d. for fair Upland. The same wri ter says the raw material will be controlled by the price of the manufactured article. If that be true, fair Upland ought to be worth in Liv erpool to-day, 7Jd., for seldom has the produce of the manufactor been more renumcrative. The rise in cotton fabrics has been constant and strong. There has been a steady gain in prices of all classes of cotton goods in British Manu facturing Districts. Large shipments have been made to all parts of the Easl especially to In dia, and the latest advices from India inform us that invoices from well known shippers, sold to arrive, at an advance of 30 to 40 percent— What does this scramble for goods in India show 7 Why, that the supply Is far short of thc demand, and that the India demand for goods at Manchester has not abated, neither has the price declined. Such at least is the statement by the Asia, up to Jan. 21st Here I leave the Republican's correspondent, and pass on to show there is nothing to be fear ed because of the probable extent of the crop. Give the probable receipts of New Orleans, Mo bile and Texas, as 2,600,000, then put thc At lantic receipt at 1,000,000, Florida at 200,000, and you have a crop of 3,800,000. The proba ble consumption of American Cotton by Eng land will be 200.000 bales.
