It Is our pride and pleasure to give all men a

its predecessor.

A Diplomatic Secret.
The ubiquitous Ouscley has ag tin turned up,
after flourishing like a green bay tree in the
court circles at Washington, [daring admirably
the part of the man of the world and the devo
tee of pleasure, he'suddenly, without explana
tion- to the eager quid nuncs, departs for the
Tropics, there once more to beguile and wheedle,
by smooth speech and smart address, the deni
zens of the ever changing Republics of Central
America The latest, advices from Nicaragua,
inform us that Sir William Gore Ouseley has
succeeded in making a treaty similar in many
its terms, and containing a clause identical with
the section in our Cass-Yrisarri Treaty in rela
tion to the action of troops without previous de
mand of the Nicaraguan Government The
insertion of the clause in our treaty caused its
rejection by the Nicaraguans—yet Ouseley,
sharp, shrewd, adroit, cunning Ouseley, obtains
this concession for the British, and it is further
related that the French and Sardinian Govern
ments are likewiso to be favored with similar
privileges. If the information received by the
last steamer is to be relied on, our Government
is losing deal in its attempts to effect an equita
ble adjustment of our Central American difficul
ties.
It is stated that a deep seated and a wretched
Trade in Macon.
A gentleman of the highest respectability
tells us he happened to be in Mrs. Dessau’s Mil
linery Store last Tuesday, and saw an accom
plished lsdy of bis acquaintance in the act of
purenasingthirtoen elegant Bonnets. “What,"
says he, “are you going to set up a Millinery
Store!" llo was told in reply that the lady was
only executing some commissions for friends at
a distance, and of the thirteen bonnets, five
were going to Madison, and three to Greensboro'
—in the very bailiwick of Augusta. A merchant,
Mr. Bostick, next door, then remarked that he
had that morning filled an order for expensive
dress goods from St. MaryV, sending them
through Savannah. Such incidents show that
the taste and enterprise of our dry goods people
are being appreciate.!, and tlie trade of the town
extending over a very large portion of the State.

Main Trunk.
A meeting of tho Dircctom of the Main Trunk
Rail Road Co., is to be held in Savannah dur
ing the present week.
Dr. Screven, the 1’resident of the Company,
baa returned from Florida, but we are Sony to
learn, his health has not been improved. In
tho event of his resignation, we learn that Mr.
Edward C. Anderson of Savannah will be select
ed in his stead.
Mr. Anderson will mako an industrious, intel
ligent and popular President
Arthur Napoleon.
Among the very best musical entertainments
ever given in Macon, those of Arthur Napoleon
and Company on Friday and Saturday last
might be numbered without doubt or hesitation.
As a pianist, young Napoleon is a marvel—a
grains—without perhaps the finish or discipline
of Thalbcrg, but it seems to us with equal
exocation, rad more fire, energy and cntbnsi
asm. Herr Doehlerita great violinist, and
the ladies, Cairoli and Miss Hey wood, received
storms of applause. We are sorry that the
multiplicity of amusements left tho Company
an audience in point of numbers inferior to the
merits of their performance.

jealously of the North American Republic is at'
the bottom of all this success of English Diplo
macy, and that unless summary and forcible
measures are resorted to, American interests
are likely to suffer serious detriment We, how
ever, have an abiding confidence in tho dispo
sition and capacity of tho present administra
tion. Wc believe that Mr. Bucliannn will not
allow the honor or rights of onr Government to
be jeoparded, and that he will require and de
mand, at all hazards, the same privileges and
protection for American citizens, as shall be
permitted to those of tho most favored nations.
Wc presume he will ask for nothing more, and
wc hope he will accept nothing less. Sir Wil
liam Gore Ouseley’s mission, in many respects,
has been a singular one.
He appeared at Washington certainly unac
credited, as we understand, to act in any diplo
matic capacity with our Government—but from
the first day of his arrival, his diplomatic status
has been tlie subject of frequent, and by no
means kindly, criticism on thopart of the Amer
ican journals. Still, if all reports be true, lie
has not only acted well his part, in maintaining
British supremacy, but he has been the indirect
means of bringing about a change in the per
sonnel of the British Legation at Washington.
The on dit at Washington now is, that, in
the freedom of social converse, my Lord Napier
expressed the opinion, perhaps to Mr. Cling-
tnan, that the English Government would not
object to the abrogation of tlie Clayton Bulwcr
Treaty, and that if our Government really de
sired it, the thing could be done. This was
presenting^ momentous question in a new as
pect That was not the understanding of our
State Department Mr. Dallas, who from his
official position at the Court of St James, would
be supposed to know, had not communicated
any such information, and therefore, when the
British minister so unreservedly stated to per
sons not directly connected with the administra
tion, a fact, which a labored and long continued
diplomatic correspondence between the highest
officials of the two Governments had failed to
elicit, it was thought that Lord Napier was cith
er indecorous to the State Department in fail
ing to impart so important an announcement to
them, while so free to mention it in private cir
cles, or that he was indiscreetly making pub
lic what his own Government was desirous to
conceal, or still more indiscreet in stating tiiat
which was not true in fact
The administration justly became indignant
at this breach of diplomatic etiquette, and just
here the ubiquitous Ouscley again appears.
Lady Ouseley, an American Lady by birth,
and by reason of her husband’s position at home,
having confidential correspondence with friends
connected with the English ministry, very un
willingly, as we may suppose, and as a piece of
gossip, communicates the free talk of my Lord
Napier, over his port, and the consequent indig
nation of the head of the State Department—
The letter is received—the tenor of the disclo
sures is discussed at the Foreign office, and the
next English mail brings the startling intelli
gence that the popular and liberal Lord Napier
is transferred from Washington to die Hague.
Thereupon, all sorts of rumors and gossip, not
unmixed with scandal, arc circulated as to the
cause of the Scotch Baron’s recall, but nothing
truly is known except the fact that he is recalled.
The secret was a woman—her triumph was
complete, and it was not in her nature to con
ceal it, and now the world knows it -
“So much for Buckingham."
Piocoloinini—Shylock— Arthur Ya-
POLtON—AND THE ELEPHANT.
The past has been a gay and brilliant week
in Macon.
On Wednesday evening last, Ralston llall
was crowded with tlie Fashion and Beauty of
Middle Georgia, to hear, see, and admire » Mu
sical Star:
“ A daughter of that laud,
Where poet's tip and painter's hand,
Are both divine.”
Piccolomini.
As a singer merely, she has many superiors—
but in grade, in expression, in attitude, ir ges
ture she is superb. There Is a charm and fresh
ness in her manner—there is a glittering plea
sure in her smile—there is a dazzling lustre in
her eye, which enchants and captivates all who
come within the magic circle of her wilts.
To know the Piccolomini—to judge her: ight-
ly, she must be seen and heard in Opera, with
its attendant aids of a fine orchestra, gran-1 sce
nery, and gorgeous dresses—then she world be
properly appreciated. In the cold and lifeless
role of concert performances she does not and
cannot appear what she really is. So mu:h for
Piccolomini
The next evening Ralston Hall was again
crowded with the largest audience we haviever
seen at a dramatic performance. It wis the
evening for the Complimentary Benefit t) Mr.
Fleming, the gentlemanly and cnterprisii g les
see and manager of the Theatre. Tlie play was
the Merchant of Venice; and Mr. Fleming play
ed Shylock as well as we have ever seen 1; done
on any lioanls. In all the marked passages of
this noble conception of the great Dramatist,
Mr. Fleming’s rendering was responded to by
hearty and very general demonstrations of ap
plause. Jessie Brown—the Siege of Lucknow
—was the after piece, and in tills Mr. Fuller as
the clergyman, made a decided hit—and fre
quently brought down the House. Ho is a
chaste, classic, and graceful actor, and a univer
sal favorite. The beautiful Miss Thompson as
Piccolomini.
Her concert in Macon, as everyw
was a triumph—greeted by a brilliant and
crowded house—uproarious applause—boqu
by the armful, and she trod upon a carpet of
roses before the entertainment was over. She
is not a great singer—her charm lies for the
most part in her manner—her vivacity, grac
sprightliness. She is a capital actre ss. The
papers have given a very just idea of her, and
the paragraph we append from the Louisville
Journal meets the case exactly. She was well
supported by Md’Ile Ghioni, whose voice is a
pure soprano of great strength and clearness.
Maggiorotti, the buffo, is a capital actor as well
as a fine singer. Lorini, with a good voice, ser
ved as a sort of fool or set ofT to the impulsive
Pic—he was cold as an iceberg. Legendre,
with his cornet, very deservedly received great
applause.
Piccolomini is a musical coquette, a piquant
singing gipsey full of genius, life, and beauty,
which she flings and scatters around her as per
fume exhales from flowers. She comes very near
to being pretty, and the vixen knows it; she has
stolen the Promethean fire to illumine her mor
tal clay, and she glories in the theft; her eyes
flash lightnings aljthe time, and she uses them;
her smile is captivating, and she subdues all
within her influence. She is the very incarna
tion of true genius “out on the lark” and a
holiday—a romping, capricious beauty, who
knows her influence and exerts it daringly.—
Ilcr voice is exquisitely sweet, and her style is
the perfection of abandon. There is a gosh
of melody about her which seems to be all na
ture and unable to bear the restraints of the
schools and the curbs of artistic discipline. As
a true lover of the grape never dilutes his wine,
she never mixes anything with the pure purple
poetry of the driukingsong. One might get ela
ted on its very fumes, and wc are not certain but
they are yet floating in our brain. So in her
badinage with Dulcamara, in the Elixir ofLove
-ysbo means it—her hands and her eyes, her
dimpled mouth, and her rose-red lips, her little
tiny feet, and every electric charged vein in
her face, helps her to act out the sentiment.—
She is as full of mischief as a kitten purring
Jessie plaj cl the part admirably and on the, over a ball of yarn, and seems running over
next evening received a beautiful present from
number of gentlemen of tlie city. She ac
knowledged the compliment in a touchir g and
pertinent reply. The presentation address was
made by Mr. Fuller.
On Friilay Arthur Napoleon discoursed ele

youthful Piano Forte I’rodigy, and we undcr-

hearts; she can do what Hamlet could not—
play upon humanity like a pipe; she knows
its stops; sounds it from its lowest note to the

music, excellent voice in this littie organ”

enraged, and “pitched in” to each other with a

paid to Miss Charlotte Thompson, thc Star Ac

tlie city united in tlie presentation to Miss T. of
a beautiful Sett of jcwelty. The ceremony took
place just after tlie conclusion of tlie drama
“Our American Cousin,” Mr. J. B. Fuller acting
as spokesman for the young gentlemen, and
Miss Thompson acknowledging the present
with her usual grace and propriety. Not more
by her histrionic abilities, than by her engaging

Bucket Letters.
The Augusta Constitutionalist, under thc head
of “A Historical Question Settled,” contains a
communication in explanation of the origin of
thc term so commonly used—Bucket Letter.
The author of the first “Bucket Letter," was
young talented and facetious lawyer, residing
in Clinton, Jones county, and well known to
thc people of Middle Georgia, as David I. Holt.
Holt was a warm Troup man in thc memorable
contest of 1825, and was in thc habit of writing
long and frequent letters to thc then President
of the U. S., John Quincy Adams, signed Ed
ward Bucket *
Tho letters evinced so much talent, and dis
played such thorough and accurate knowledge
of the questions discussed, that the President’s
curiosity was greatly excited to know thc au
thor. The correspondence was shown to mem
bers of Congress from Georgia, and upon inves
tigation, David I. Holt was ascertained to be
thc author.
. The sell was such a good one, that thc mem
bers of Congress let out tlie whole story, and
from that day to this thc word Bucket Letter is
always used to describe a letter signed by a
name other than that of its author.

A New Town.
A summer retreat, healthful and convenient
to the city, has long been a desideratum with
the citizens of Savannah. During the preva
lence epidemics it has been a sad want, ns in
convenient to families as it was injurious to
the business of tho place. A temporary resi
dence on the salts has been thc only rcsort^and
that a most inconvenient and expensive one to
those who are unprovided with the necessary
facilities for travelling.
Thc new town of Marlow, just surveyed and
laid out into lots, will supply the deficiency.
Thc site is high and dry and salubrious, im
mediately on the Central Railroad, and only
twenty-six miles, or an hour’s ride, from thc
city. The water is as good as can bo found in
thc low country, and the village, if settled np
by our citizens, iu the summer months, would
be made most delightful retreat. The name
(Marlow) is horribly uupoctic, and, with all
due deference for thc taste of the proprietor,
we mast enter a plea for a change.
It will he seen, from the advertisement of
Mr. Cuylcr, that the lots will be offered for
sale to the highest \ idder, on the 12th of April

between this place and Palmer yesterday. Sen

political speech the previous evening, in Staf

his burden of course, was “Kansas.” He was
still full of “Kansas” in tlie cars, and at last he

worst sort of a customer for Wilson. In reply

Sometimes too Fastidious.
A- very worthy gentleman at Rouen is at
present receiving a fortune which came to him
with the drawing of a cork, in the following
curious manner. Obliged by the state of his
health, last summer, to change thc air, he went
to the seashore at Villcrs-sur-mer, near Trou-
ville, and walking on the bcacli, he noticed that
a lad, who was also promenading there with
his father, had found a sealed bottle nmong the
sea-weed. Thc father hade his child to “throw
down the dirty thing, and not be soiling his
fingers,” upon which the invalid picked up tlie
castaway bottle and took it with him to his
lodgings.
The cork drawn, thc bottle was found to
contain a written document, properly signed
and dated on board a vessel which bad sprung
a leak and was about to sink. It ran thus:
'About to perish, I commend my soul to

Baltimore, March 31st
There is not much of general interest stirring
here. The season has arrived when business
should be at its zenith— yet, such is not the
It was expected that trade would have
set in early this spring, but it has thus far been
tardy—much impatience exists at the delay by
our merchant - and business men, who have lain
in heavy stocks of Goods, in anticipation of a
large and brisk spring trade. Some activity has
been observed among thc Grocery men in their
transaction-, with the distant dealers; but other
branches of business arc as yet comparatively
quiet. The Dry Goods Jobbing trade has been,
of late years, so much crippled by the manufac
ture of Ready Made Clothing, that it Is now
comparatively small, as compared to wliat it
once was. Cloths, Cassimcrs, Satinetts, and
other medium and low priced woolens, as well
as Shirtings, Vestings, Ac., which were former
ly purchased by country merchants and taken
home to be made up for men’s wear, are now
manufactured here and in other cities—and thc
clothing bought ready made at prices so low as
to afford the country merchant a better profit
than can be realized upon the goods in thc
piece. The Jobbing Dry Goods merchant is
thereby almost entirely cut out of thc trade,
and his business is chiefly confined to staple
cottons, prints, Ac., upon which but a nominal
profit is made. Many have abondoned the bu
siness altogether, and in a few years it may be
this once heavy business will become a mere
Bagatelle in tbc Atlantic cities. In tlie absence
of business, or other more profitable and im
portant matters, we are just now in the midst
of a city railroad muss. Our multitudinous
council of wisdom have been agonizing with thc
subject of a “ City Rail Road," for the last
three weeks, and have just been safely deliver
ed of a "Bill." No sooner was the bantling
bom, than it was sent to the Mayor to be offi
cially christened. That functionary, however,
as quickly returned it to its progenitors—as ob
jectionable in form and feature, and refused to
stand as its god-father, unless it should be horn
again, or so ame.nded and remodeled, as to come
up to his idea of what it should be—he would
not otherwise consent to have it enumerated in
the ue/z of himself or thc apostles of his Amcri
can administration. As the bill was os “clay
in the hands of the potter" it was soon moulded
into thc required form, and duly installed, after
the laying on of hands by the Know Nothing
high priest, into thc family of tho “Prince of
Americans."
By its article provisions, we are “sooner or
later, if not before," to have a vast and magni
ficent Park, of 200 acres, to be bought with the
extra penny, which Mayor Swann has compel
led thc people to pay, for a ride on the city rail
road. It has been suggested that thc park be
located on thc site of thc old Basin, which will
no doubt l>e filled up in due time by some as
tute scomer of our worthy Mayor—and that so
much of thc living water of thc mud puddle be
retained in thc center, ns a fountain, lo regale
and oderiferate thc visitors during the dog days
—and to typify the flow of medicine which dic
tated the plan of its obtention.
Tlie Governor has again granted a short res
pite to tiie condemned men, who ore now await
ing execution in our JaiL Much comment has
been'made by the press, here, upon this act of
mercy by the Governor. Great efforts had been
made by thc relations and friends of these un
fortunate young men, to have their sentences
commuted from death to an imprisonment for
life. But to this the Governor lias always turn
ed a deaf car. lie has however, in obedience
to the dictates oMiumanity—-and as a boon to
the poor and wrecked men—and their imploring
parents and especially to tlie attendant minis
ters, who plead fur a little more time to pre
pare them for deatli, given these unfortunate
young men a few more days to live and try to
make their peace with an offended GotL For this
act of holy charity, on the part of thc Governor,
the very press which lias been most instrumen
tal in vitiating thc habits of these men, and pre
paring them for the commission ot the diabo
lisms which had led them to their present state,
was foremost in its denunciation of him; and if
these poor wretches, who but yesterday were
thc bosom friends of that press, and were ca
joled and patted on to acts of violence by it, had
been mad dogs, and foaming with the virus of
hydrophobia, they could not have evinced a
greater degree of impatience to have them put
out of existence. All hopes of a future respite
to these men is now abandoned, and their exe
cution will no doubt take place at thc time des
ignated, thc 8th of April. It will no doubt at
tract a vast number of spectators. Reporters
were here from New York, Philadelphia and
Boston, at tlie time of the first appointment, and
its postponement was no doubt attended with
considerable loss to those who speculate upon
such events. It is designed by thc pictorial
press to give it an extensive and elaborate illus
tration, and report it with great minutia; and to
enable them to do so, considerable sums have
been expended for facilities in and about tlie

certainty of their punishment, a great check has
been given to that.cliaracter of crimo of which
they and their peculiar class were formerly guil
ty. The organization of the Rowdy club have
been generally broken up, and their members
scattered—and thc crowds which were wont
to be seen standing at certain points, and the
raids upon public houses and private citizens
which were then so frequent, are now seldom
heard of. Wc arc not, however, yet free from
thc acts of desperate villains—and it was only
a few nights since that an attempt was made
upon the lives of two of thc most amiable and
popular ministers of thc Gospel in the city, by
somo desjicratc burglars. One of the Reverend
gentlemen was dangerously wounded, and now
lies in a critical condition—the Rev. Mr. Gus
tinian, of thc Church of thc Immaculate Con
ception. The other, the Rev. Mr. Quigley,though
shot at, escaped unhurt
I regret to perceive that homicides seem to

you think this will do. (Reads:)
Anti-expiring pills—the greatest discovery of
thc age. Run here, every body quick, and hear
thc glorious news, that after this tho first day
of April, 1859, thc people need not die any more,
if they will only use the anti-expiring pills, and
throw away all the poison medicines which so
many quack doctors are trying to impose on
them. If you are not sick, take a dose twice a
week and you will be always well. If you are
sick, with any kind of a disease, take these pills
according to thc directions for that complaint,
and you will be cured very soon. Whenever
these pills fail to make a speedy cure you may
know it is because you arc already half killed
by some other physic. They are a certain rem
edy for dyspepsia, consumption, asthma, drop
sy, fevers of all kinds, and in fact all the diseases
that are known to thc human family. No doubt
somebody will very soon be trying to imitate
my pills, but let them try as much as they please,

good qualities of these pills, but as tho Advo

Mrs. Dc—I think it is enough. Indeed are you
not afraid that so much praise might look some
thing like a humbug to those who have not tes

Dr. Dc—Humbug:' No. There is not the
least danger of such a thing.
Mrs. De—Perhaps not; I’m sure I don’t know
about such things.
Dr. Dc—By thc way, Marie, in looking over
some old papers to-day, I found the ballad of a

That man in eager office race,
Who demonstrates so clearly,
That he’s not seeking a fat place,
To serve the people merely.

No, not he.
That quack who says his new found pills,
Will cure the world, if they’ll but try;
And that, though other physic kills,
Take liis and you will never die.

worthless pills. (Sings:)
That merchant, who so blandly tells
What makes some people wonder;
That unto them alone lie sells

No, not be.

To lay it on a la Macduff,

concluded a secret treaty with France and
Sardinia for some of thc States of Tehuantepec,

Tho foregoing detached scenes were not, by
any means, designed as a burlesque on the sons
of .Ksculapius in general. Far be it from the
writer to detract anything from wliat she deems
not only a noble profession, but one that can
boast os many wise heads and true hearts as
any other. She only meant to “take off” a ver
itable French Doctor who would easily be re
cognized by many, if some of these scenes should
find their way to the place where he still re

Slavery in Kansas.
The following extract is taken from the St
Paul Pioneer:
The bill abolishing slavery in the Territo
ry of Kansas, was "pocketed” by Gov. Meda-
ry, and he thus avoided the alternative of sign-
or vetoing it. The members of the State
Legislature had so many private axes to grind
that they put off to the last day of the sessiou
the anti slavery bill, and thus intentionally gave
the Governor a chance to “pocket” it. It is
said there was an understanding between them
| and the Governor, that if they would do this,
he would sign all their other bills, ami they
■ held to their agreement. This shows the hy-
| pocrisy of the Kansas “freedom sbrickers.”
