Some of the plays which have been presented during the past week, have been rendered with positive excellence. We witnessed thc performance of the “ Lady of Ly ons” on Tuesday evening last, and experienced great delight from the artistic and spirited act ing of Mr. Fleming as Claude Mclnottc, and the vety interesting personation of Pauline by Miss Thompson. Mr. Fleming also achieved quite a triumph in thc character of Macbeth on Thurs day evening.

It was reported to us, however, by several gentlemen who were pre sent, that Judge Gibson, in a speech made at that meeting, had been exceedingly severe in his strictures ujion an article which appeared in this paper on Thursday morning, in reference to thc approaching municipal election; and had taken occasion to say that the editor of thc Con stitutionalist was once a Know Nothing, or a ntcmlier of thc American order.

FilibustcriiiK Descent upon Cuba Vnuc March 2G.—The “Courier des Extraordinary Weather in Mexico.—A let ter from Yallccillo, about 80 miles northwest from Mier and Cantargo, in the State of New Leon, Mexico, da toil Jan. 11, says : “I have very often alluded to thc northers, but on Friday last or rather Thursday night, wc had thc most wonderful change I have ever known. The day was oppressively hot; any time between 9 and 11 o’clock, P. M., it was only comfortable with tlic door or windows open, and wc walked out bare-headed out of doors at that hour; at one o’clock, two hours after, there was icc ! Birds frozen to death in all positions lay Homer Richardson, before a Bench of Slagis- trates in this place, on a charge of Larcency from the House, in the fall of the past j'car.— The prisoner was young, handsome, and pre possessing in bis appearance, and the testimo ny- elicited, and upon which lie was finally committed to jail to await the action of the Grand Jury, being entirely circumstantial, induced many who were present to express a strong sj-mpathy for the wayward youth. The main witness for the defence wasaj-oung and beautiful girl, who had been connected with thc stage, and who swore, that on the night and about thc time the larcency was thought to have been committed, the defendant had been on a visit to, and in social converse with Iter,—that he retired to bed, and could not have passed out of the house without her knowledge, and that as far as she knew, being awake until two o’ clock studying her part, Richardson did not leave his apartment Richardson was charged with stealing fifteen dollars in gold, and gold was proven to have been in his possession, the daj’ after thc larcen cy was committed. It was in proof, that a day or two before thc larcency, Richardson had ap plied for board, at the Hotel from which the money was taken, and said that he ltad no mon ey, but that he expected a remittance from New Orleans. He was unable to give any satisfacto ry- account of the gold in his possession and this with other suspicious circumstances, was thought to be sufficient to authorize thc Magistrates to bind hint over to appear at Court Being unable to give security, he was com mitted and remained in jail until thc session of the Superior Court in November last, when he was discharged; thc person who lost thc money having disappeared While in jail, Richardson was frequently visited by the fair girl whose af fections he had succeeded in winning, and at one time a marriage was in contemplation, but thc Inferior Court refused to allow it, and Mr. Barefield was not permitted to have his chains and safe apartments, consecrated to thc joys of Ilj-men. But the current of true love was too strong to be thus diverted front its course—thc parties ‘bided’ their time and after Richardson’s release, the happy pair were united and left Macon.— Thc conclusion of this interesting romance will be found in thc following interesting account of a recent exciting affair in New Orleans : [From Friday’s Daily Crescent] Counterfeit Resemblances are always strik ing ; but we never heard of a case of resem blance more striking in its denouement, than one in which a well known matt and ao un known man, who resembled him, met last even ing. Omar Richardson, thc circus-rider, is known and admired everywhere; particularly wher ever Spalding & Rogers’ star circus company goes. He is handsome, and his face is so well known, that whether he be performing in the ring cr sauntering along the street in his citi zens’ dress, everybody knows him. lie fs well behaved, too. although he acted last evening with seme ugliness ; an ugliness, however, which will be excused by all readers of this when they hear the facts we have to tell. In an unlukcy hour a child was born, who, upon reaching manhood, appeared to be Rich ardson’s twin-brother, and to many people, Richardson himself. With further bad luck, this individual grew up a loafer, or else became a loafer reaching man’s estate. He discover ed that a great many people mistook him for Omar Richardson, and proceeded to profit thereby. For some months past, he has been travel ing cither in the van or in the rear of Spalding it Roger’s circus company, passing himself off as Omar ahead, or Omar behind, or Omar on a spree. Everybody knows Omar to be one of Spaldjng & Rogers’ best stars, and knows that Spalding Sc Rogers stand up to their stars with full purses at all times, whether they be punc tual in the ring or off on a frolic. The loafer who resembled Omar found, out all this, and profited accordingly. Lately in Savannah, Georgia, he swindled numerous people, upon whom he passed him self as Omar on a spree, and behind thc compa ny. He even went so far as to “come it” over Mr. Marsh of the Marsh Troupe, whilst thc troupe was there. Still further than this, married n pretty Georgia girl, upon whom passed himself for Omar. The poor girl infat uated with the idea that she was to travel a- round and sec the world, as the wife of the great circus-rider, Omar Richardson, was hap py for a short time. Her husband left her. The Marsh Troupe were then performing Savannah. She. having been led by her bus band’s talk to believe that any person or com pany having engagements with Spalding Sc Rogers, would be friends of any other person in the employment of the said celebrated firm, called upon Mr. Marsh. He knew nothing of Omar Richardson, personally, or of her, and was not disposed to listen to her. Mrs. Marsh, seeing that the poor girl was hastening on to maternity, and believing that she was actually the wife of Omar Richardson, interceded with Mr. Marsh, and he gave her money to support herself with till the scape grace of a husband should return. But she never saw him again; or that, at least, is the impression of those who best know. On his pretence that he was Omar Ricbardsou, the rascal swindled all sorts of people in tiavan Richardson listened no longer. He went at the fellow, and gave him one of the hardest aim longest cowhidings that ever human re ceived in this town. There was a jumping a- round, and a screaming, and a general noise, tu the editorial room of thc late “Daily Pro gramme,” which was heard by the crowd out side, and created considerable wonderment and inquiry. When Omar got tired of lashinj his counterfeit, he sat down and rested; anu then, using the pen and ink left on the table bj' the editor of the late “Daily Programme,” wrote a document, which thc rascal was only too glad to sign, to get out of that room and awaj-from thc cowhide. The following is a correct copy of the document, as written by Omar and signed by his counterfeit : New Orleans. March 17, 1859. I acknowledge that at divers times and pla ces, during the past winter, I have represen ted my name to be Omar Richardson—among other places, at Savannah and Mobile; and whereas,Omar Richardson, cquestiran, hearing of my false assumption of bis name, has cow- hided nte, I hereby release him from any cause of action I may have against him by reason of such assault and battery, and promise never a- gain to assume his name. [Signed] CHARLES W. FOSTER. The above being signed, the miserable wretch was escorted to the front door and told to go bis way and sin no more. All we bare to add is that Marsh, Bidwell, and others, who saw the counterfeit Richardson whilst he was playing counterfeit, assert that the resemblance between him and the genuine Richardson is extraordinary; that not one per son in a hundred could meet the imitation ar ticle without mistaking him for the genuine The case was certainly most remarkable. nah. Since then thc people of Mobile or a good many of them, have been swindled by the same rascal in the same way. The Circus Company were there two weeks ago; Omar was one of the company then and there ; and the conn terfeit Omar had little trouble in gulling the Mobilians as suited his notion. When Mr. Marsh arrived with his troupe last week, thc counterfeit Omar arrived also. He bothered Marsh a great deal pretending to be Omar Ricbardsou on a frolic. Marsh, believing him to be the genuine Omar, loafed around with him and talked with him, but at the the force of truth against every possible bias of surrounding circumstances. Futhcrraore, let .is take fresh hope and courage. Such indica tions of reactionary opinion among thc more intelligent minds of thc North arc getting com mon, and will, perhaps, be like bread cast upon the waters—to return again after many daj's.

He played a sharp game; but it was not sharp enough to last. Wind of the counterfeit Omar’s other doings in Savannah and Mobile, reached Marsh here a day or two ago. The circus company, and Omar himself, also heard of it, and the thing, as a matter of course, created some lively talk jn circus.circles. Omar was naturally thc most interested of all. Meantime, Marsh made thc acquaintance of the genuine Omar for the first time. It was generally understood about town that the Circus Company were to leave last evening for St. Louis. It happened, however,that the de parture was dislaj'cd one day; in consequence of which Omar Richardson, Libby, Walters, Yillanueva, and thc other crack members of the" crowd, were loitering about St Charles street last evening, taking a farewell view of the scenes with which they had so long been familiar. Whilst they were all scattered a round, thc counterfeit Omar came along, ii blissful supposition that tho genuine Omar and all the crowd were safely on their way up thc river. Poor devil! He fell in with Marsh, and Marsh was de lighted to see him. Marsh loitered with him till he met the other Omar. Marsh introduced thc two Omars. The actual Omar fell in love with the fictitious Omar,and button-holding him firmly, invited him iuside thc Amphitheater to have a private talk with him.

Here, Docthor, did you ever see thc like of it before ? Dr. De—(Laughing.) Why, Mike, it is noth ing but a tick on j-our ana. Mike—(Looking perplexed.) And it’s only a tick you say it is ; what kind of a sore might a tick be ? Dr. Dc—It is not anj- kind of a sore. It is one lcctle insect that belongs to this country.— It generally bites thc horses and the cows, but sometimes it gets on the people. Thc bite maj' make a sore but it is not dangerous. I will put some of this medicine on j’our anu and it will come off; you ought to have pulled it off as soon as you discovered it Tiie place will soon get well now. Mike—Thank j-ou Docthor, And it’s a tick j'ou called it; I knew j’ou had plenty of snakes and frogs here and I’ve even heard of musqui- toes, but I never drained of such bugs as ticks. This seems to tic a great country for biting things. Dr. De—Yes, it is rather so, but j'ou will not mind them when j-ou have been here as long as I have. Mike—Yis Docthor, if I should iver stay that long, but—(taking up a turnkey from the table) what is this ? Dr. De—It is an instrument for pulling teeth; have you anj’ that j'ou wish extracted ? I can do it in thc best manner possible if you have. Mike—No Docthor, I never had thc toothache in my life. But I can’t sec how this can take fast hold on a tooth. Dr. Dc—Easilj- enough, When it is put on a tooth and turned, it holds very fast. Mike puts tho turnkey on one of his own teeth and having turned it until it is tightly fixed, he attempts to take it off hut finds it docs not come off. Dr. Dc—(Seeing Mike’s frightened look,)— Turn the other way Mike. Mike turns, but in bis confusion he onlj’ con tinues to tum in thc same direction that he had commenced, consequcntlj’, in a few seconds out comes the tooth. Without a word or even groan, he laj’s tlic tooth and tiie turnkey on the table together, and with rapid strides walks out Dr. De—Parblcu! it is an eye tooth he has pulled for himself and perfectly sound, too,— I’ve heard of people cutting eyo teeth to wisdom, but I think he has learned something by losing one of his. I suppose he does think this is a great country for biting things, and no doubt he will make great haste to get out of such a bad place. He is on his way to Cork now very probablj’. It is too good ; I mustgo and tell Marie. She docs not enjoj’ fun as much as I do, but I think she must laugh at this. [Exit Houses.

Thc project of thc Fort Valley nnd Atlantic Railroad is bringing into notice thc thriving vil lage from which the road in part takes its name. Fort Valley is situated on a level ridge between the Ocmulgec and Flint rivers—the former dis charging its waters into the Atlantic, and the latter into thc Gulf. It contains about COO in- lubitants, has five stores, good schools (one dig nified as a female college) and its merchants en joy a safe and lucrative business. It is distant from Macon 28 miles, from Columbus 72, and from Brunswick, if the Fort Yallcj- and Atlan Railroad is built, about 175. The adjacent country Is very productive in cotton, com and potatoes, and 'enjoys a reputation for health. The citizcrs of Houston county gencrallj', particularly of Fort Yallcj' and its vicinitj', arc distinguished lor their sobrictj', intelligence and ealtlL Thc zeal with which thej' have enter- upon this magnificent railroad project speaks ell for their enterprise. Should they succeed consummating their object, the propertj' of Pulaski and Houston alone would be enhanced in value double the cost of thc road, the valu able trade formerlj' enjoj-ed by 1 lawkinsvillc would be restored, nnd a large and prosperous inland town be built up at Fort Yallcj'. To Brunswick tho Fort Vallej’ and Atlantic Railroad is an important enterprise—in our opinion the one which should have been put forward at the time publicity was given to the Macon scheme; but thc latter having thc ini tiative wc should deprecate anj' diversion of energj’ or division of means that endangered the success of thc one without insuring tliat of tlic other.—Brunswick Herald. ed i ginc, unless it was brought here bj- one of the edging all, but praying forgiveness, oi negroes said to be located near Columbia “Ju- j of his father and family, wbo he said l.a” can tclL— ba ’ can tell.—Columbia Bulletin. | spectable people of this city, on accouut were re- Thej' are making efforts in Boston to estab lish a ‘Pawnbroker’s Bank,’ to secure the advant- ;cs arising from an opportunitj'to obtain money orashort time on small pledges of chattel proper tj-, and at the same time to obviate the disad vantages of the present pawn-broking system.

Editors: Gentlemen.—Would it be possible or proba ble that any of your planters could be induced to go into the cultivation of the Vine-, if it could be shown to them, that with half the land, and less than lialf the force thej' are now compelled to employ, they could make more money, and what is still better, save the lives of their sons, and add to the comfort and happiness of their daughters? In jour State I have but little ac quaintance, j'et, have in some things seen enough to know that an improvement could be made, and to the advantage of all but one class, and tho less you have of that ono class, the better. Having for nianj' j ears been a traveller on both sides of the Atlantic, and an observer of the manners and customs of the various nations and their classes, I trust I have gained some information,—no more than many others, yet all are not disposed to use the information gained, for thc benefit of others, without the quid pro quo. I do not intend to say I am more disinterested/^ less selfish than other men, j'et, if I can put them in thc waj- of doing bet ter for themselves, I may, in some way, reap all the reward that I desire—that is, to see my country independent of all others for the arti cles of necessity, and in some measure also, for thc articles of luxury. To the point: It appears to me that thc States of North and South Carolina, and Georgia, are as well adapted to thc growth of thc vine, or grape, as that of anj- part of Europe. I have no doubt tliat 20 acres in cultivation of the Grape for Wine, would yield more profit to the Vintner, than one hundred acres in Com or Cot ton. Then thc Vinej'ard once in bearing, is with little care, (compared with other crops) thriving for generations to come. I saw one man who was on a Vineyard of perhaps 8 to 10 acres. He attended to all that was necessary, except at thc time of the vint age; then for a few days he would hire hands— mostly females and children, to pick and cull the Grapes—a few men to tread the press, and to handle thc Casks. The modus operand! Is thus:—An oblong building, say 12 to 15 feet in width, the length proportioned to the size of the Vine vard. Nei ther floor or siding is needed. On each side there is a Table, running the entire length, 2 ft. in width, and of convenient, height to work o n, say 3 feet Through the centre Is a I fepctrm made of 2 inch oak plank, usually 2J atfo in width. On the edges is a strip setting about one inch above the surface. On this platform, thc Tubs or Tuns, as thej' are termed, are set. These Tuns are made of plank, a little larger at thc top than at thc bottom. They are made to be strong and durable. Six inches from the bottom is a ledge, made bj- setting another thickness ol plank around, or, by attaching a piece. On this ledge is set a false bottom. This false bottom is perforated with boles, bored smooth with a bit half inch in size. A cover or strainer of hair cloth is made to cover this false bottom, being sufficicntlj' large to come over the edge, and under it a piece of rattan is made fast to thc edge of thc hair cloth. The false bottom being covered is then set in its place. Tlic grapes are gathered in thc morn ing, while the dew Is yet on them—brought in and laid on thc shelves; there the girls pick or cull them over, removing every unripe, imper fect, or decayed grape—also the stems. As this Is done, tlic grapes are placed in the Tuns on the platform. Thc men then being washed-^ denuded of their clothes, jump into thc Tuns. They have a woolen blanket made to cover the top of the Tuns, and fasten around the bodj\ When all are readj-, a fiddler, at thc end of the platform commences to play, the girls and men to sing, those in thc tuns to dance, and the juice to run. At the end of the platform are set tubs, made for the purpose, on wheels; as they are filled, thej' are drawn into the Wine Room, at thc end of the building, there they remain for fermentation. At this time, it re quires close attention. Thc fine sediment that has passed the strainer now rises to the top.. In thc course of a day or two, the weather be ing favorable, this sediment begins to part or separate, and white globules or froth in appear ance, with a hissing, may be seen and heard.— The casks now bcing'prcpared, by having been fumigated with sulphur, .which is done as fol lows: a strip of linen cloth is dipped into sul phur made liquid bj - heat This is set on fire at the end and held in the cask to bum for a few minutes; it is then withdrawn, thc casks arc then filled with the Wine, and stand for a day, open at the bung, then the bung is set in light ly, and every daj-, with a mallet, it is driven a a little, until it is perfectly tight The Wine is now housed, where it is to remain until thc sec ond fermentation takes place. This is usually in March, at thc time- the Vine begins to start for the season. Something depends on tiie season; it may be a little earlier or later. Thc casks being prepared, the Wine is now decanted and put into clean fresh casks, or bottled and ready for market Thc casks from which thc Wine has been de canted, after standing with thc bung out for a few days, then have the heads taken cut A sediment will be found adhering to the casks; this is then carefullj- removed and prepared for market This is known, in Commerce, as thc red and white Argols, in color as thc Wine may be.—From these Argols is made thc Tartaric acid. Tho unripe grapes and imperfect, as before named as being separated before thc wine is made—these arc bruised, then together with the pulp that remains after expressing with thc feet the juice ; also, any wine that maj' from bad management, or want of proper attention, and as is sometimes the case bad weather, thc wine may become acid,—these are put together, that is, the bad grapes, thc pulp and sediment of fermentation, into vats or open casks, there to ferment After the fermentation.of these, thc wine that has soured arc put together and dis tilled, or left to make vinegar. Another important point, viz : the vine, after thc vintage is cut close to thc root, that is, thc vino from which thc grapes has been taken, leaving several of the young shoots that have sprung up, to be the bearers for the next sea son, thc old vine is then cut up into equal lengths, trimmed, and placed into iron cylinders, placed in a fire of charcoal and charred. These arc then taken and assorted and put in order for sale. These are known in commerce as cray ons for drawing. These craj'ons are of differ ent qualities as to size and texture or fineness. Much depends on thc care taken in charring. Now, tills maj' differ from some others or oth er parts where wine is grown, yet in this j'ou may sec that there is economy; everj’ part and particle is turned to account—no loss or waste. Tlic vine is not suffered to run on trelles, as witli us,—there are stakes prepared for the purpose, having an iron head and point, being about 4 feet in length, these are driven in the spring, and after the vintage they are taken up and housed. Now, Mr. Editor, will or can anj’ of j-our gentlemen planters be induced to make a be ginning. Here j ou have thc soil and cliuic for tlic production of tho choicest wines. I make no charge for this instruction. Had come a Yankee, as I am bom and bred, and charged a round sum for this information, I have no doubt, I could hjyve found some buj*crs ready and willing to pay. All I ask is to have a beginning made, and if successful, and I should live, I have no doubt, should I visit this region, I shall bo made wel come to a glass or bottle of good wine, shquld I Shonld any person desire any further infor mation on this subject in my power to give, I shall most cheerfully do so, without fee or re ward. I shall remain here but a few days at most. Yours, respectfully, CnAiti.Es F. Raymond, of Norwalk, Fairfield co., C n Lanier IIocse, Macon, Ga. P.

The Ship David Stuart landed the Neapoli tan exiles at Queenstown, they having com pelled the captain to the course. It is stated that the English government will not grant an exclusive right to the Atlantic or any other telegraph company. The resignation of Prince Napoleon caused an advance in Austrian securities in Vienna of four per cent, in three days, and a decline of exchange on Vienna of seven per cent, in the same time.

I si U mj’sclf against his foul insinuation! poured out the vials of his wrath up spiritualists whom he denounces as i all moral principle, and with whoc fondly associated; then calls ntc hr by an inter tional misrepresentation timent-s places me in thc ranks of b bosom frierds, whom he now denote most unprincipled of our race, so a; upon me the odium of the communini lie lecturer This I feel it mj' dutv t even in a man who makes it a part of ij ness to abuse females. I feel no dispo Editor, to ihow the inconsistency of: in his first article, admits spiritualism and then arguing that truth is inform! be made a damage and curse to thc and rcndeis its sincere advocates a principled beings. The admission tianity is true would, on this ground to be a curse to tlie communitj', and Christians unprincipled beings for be! advocating its truth. Among tlic di- Christ there was a Judas, who saer.' for monej'. But did this prove Chr! be demoralizing, or that the other cl pies were alsojunprincipled scoundrel ages there have beam in the Christin Judases, base hyprocritcs and false g who remained there for thc sake of p and thc hope of gain in their Inisine- so long as it would subserve their sell csts. But when these failed to answer] principled ends, thej' could turn, and pitcr swaggering on the top of Olvmp at the devoted heads of true Christui-j derbolt, ar.d half believe they had dom[ vice and rendered the unbelieving a favor.

And many of these have l toil, and not onlj' filled our State pr others h.ve been executed upon tiie and even among these clcrgj'ntcn ’ numbered. But, dear sir, does this the doctrine of Christ is demoralizing! all pure minded clergymen and all otk Christians are also destitute of all nw-' pie?
