The twenty years administration under the
Trustees resulted in failuri. Of exports, there
was nothing of any value - -not a bale of ootto
and but very little rice, in>l go, or other produce.
Tn 1 <42, the Hoard at Lout ion, appointed a com
mittce to •'eonsidar how far it may bo conveni
ent or proper to admit the ntroduction, and use
of negroes in the Province ofGeorgia, and under
what limitations and restr ctions.” Tlie result
oftho inquiry has not been ascertained, nor at
w hat period negroes were first imported into
Georgia. The Europeans who attempted field
labor under the hot sun aiv 1 debilitating climate
of Southern Georgia, soot, became exhausted
from their inability to cndi re it, and gave up ii
despair. One chest of raw silk, weighing fort v-
flve pounds and two oune w, prepared by Mrs.
Resolved, Tliatit is recoi unended to the Com
mon Council to give Mrs. {'amusea gratuity for
every person who shall l>> certified to be pro
perly instructed by her :.i tlie art of windin
silk.”
Tlie idea of raking silk in Georgia induced
the Privy Council to adopt a new seal for the
Government, on one side of which was to be re
presented the Genius of tic Colony ofiwrinr a
skein of silk to His Majcsiy. By command, the
Lords commissioner for Ti ade and Plantations
laid before the Council a Man for the govern
ment of the Colony or Co orgla, which was a-
dopted in 1754, when the lying appointed John
Reynolds, Esq., “Captain-General and Gover
nor-in-chief of His Majeslr.-’s Province of Geor
gia, and Vice-Admiral of the same.”

The Annies in ilic Fields of Italy - -
The following skfifehea of the mgUrid and
organization of the armies now engaged in
J-iOinbardy are in the main truthful. They form
v- art ,,. tlie ItaI!an correspondence of the New
1 ork Express.
tiii: SAnni.viAS:
Permit me still to add a few further remarks,
partly based on the Crimean correspondence
of the Paris “Illustration,” rs corroborated by
actual observation. The Sardinian army in
the Crimea was a magnificent force, the men
remarkably handsome anil neat, bearing them
selves right soldierly.
Their battalions of Chasseurs, (Riflemen,)
otlierwise styled Bersaglieri, are likewise very
hne._ It is true that their head-dress—a la
liobin-de-Bois (Robin Hood hats)—is some
what astonishing from its Tyrolese cut, but if
they have the skill of the famed marksmen of
the Tyrol, no one has the right to find fault
with the resemblance.
The Sardinian materiel is excellent, and
maintained in the highest condition for service.
The field pieces and train which I have exam
ined are extremely well organized, horsed and
supplied.
1 he Sardinian Artillery is truly a model
service. On every battle field, like our own
in Mexico, they did their whole duty to the
admiration of their fellow-soldiers, and aston
ishment of the Austrians. The latter are said
to have adopted as models for new batteries,
the Sardinian pieces captured when the reserve
park was cut off on tho Po at Pavia and Pia
cenza. On the battle fields few such trophies
fell into the enemy’s bands, but the terrific
disaster of the main army led to the unavoid
able sacrificQpJ the splendid grand park—tbc
result of the inefficiency, treachery, apathy
and cowardice of the people. Charles Albert
perilled bis throne to liberty, to elevate, and
render worthy of the fellowship of his own
nation, with reason styled the men of Italy.
As an evidence of their superior bravery
nnd reliability, the Piedmontese demi-brigade,
in tbc French service, nnder Bonaparte, won
from that great commander tho glorious nick
name (soubriquet) of bis Pane partout (mas
ter key), because no position was inaccessible
to their determined valor; and Moeller, an old
soldier of “la Grande Armce,” throughout bis
Ecclaircisements (Revelations, or, rather, Elu
cidations ot the Events of J 848-49) bears wit
ness to the surpassing gallantry of the “In
trepid” Savoy Brigade, recruited in the duchy
of that name—another grand division of the
Sardinian States.
Throughout the Austro-Sardinian campaigns
so exuberant iu laurels, so barren of fruits, the
Savoyards added leaf after leaf to the cliaplct
of their renowns and every writer acknowl
edges their claim to the title of the “bravest
of the brave.”
At Gainbolo, near Mortara, 21st March,
1849, after prodigies of valor, when these he
roes were compelled, by the main Force of their
own officers, not the enemy, to fall back, “my
Captain,” a soldier said to the Duke of Dino,
Aid-de-Camp to the King of Sardinia, and
charming historian of the fate of arms he wit
nessed and participated in, “my Captain, why
do they not let us take Gambolo!” “Friend,”
replied the young nobleman, “because, having
no supports (reserves), it would not do to risk
the lives of such brave men as you." “What
did Savoy ever need of support or assistance?”
was the indignant reply,—a reply which spoke
volumes, for every combat spoke corrobora
tive testimony to the inextinguishable devotion
of her children.
TIIK FBKSCII.
A French army beaten is like disintegrated
red granite. That which was the hardest stone
becomes the loosest sand, lt is not want of
courage, however, which occasions this, but a
want of moral force, of stability, which was
](,-! Id France when .die lirove out Jn-r prolr.-t-
ant element. Tlie following testimony WTtB
regard to French courage, spoken three cen
turies since, subsequent facts have stereotyp
ed: "Hie French go to death as if certain of
rising the next day." The writer never ad
mired the French cavalry, neither men nor
horses, but the mounted Military-Police or
Gendacmerie and cognate organizations are
glorious to look upon. Tlie French scientific
Corps are most likely superior to any in the
world, likewise the war intendency and the
administration.
As to the French Army, it very much resem
bles the Sardinian in its most effective branch
es, that is, in its artillery, light troops aqd
infantry. As to the infantry, they are just
what ope of their own officers said of them ;
-Not handsome, but oh! how good!" (Ils ne
SQUt pas jolts mats oh f quits soul bons.) The
French foot are and alwaya have been the best
matchers in Europe, Tho Duke de Rohan (a
most illustrious Iluguenot general of the 17lh
century) recorded an opinion with regard to
Ins countrymen, whose truth every day con
firms. His maxims as a General, respecting
the French troops, were, that they should al
ways be placed by their commander in such a
manner that they might begin an engagement.

premiers. “I know'well.” said he, one day,
the disposition of the ITenpb; they are m-
t ipahle of maintaining foot by foot any advan
tage they may have gained over their enemies;
they should always be kept in a posture of at
tack, and not of defence. Their quick and im
petuous character inclines them rather to act
than to suffer, nnd to advance rather than to
wait the attack of their enemies.”
THE AUSTRIANS.
The Austrian Army, as a whole, in appear
ance and organization, is unexcelled, but it has
always shown a deficiency in those qualities
which arc the most striking characteristics of
its present opponents, energy, enterprise and
mobility. As an aggregate of grand speci
mens of humanity, there fa no army iu the
world that can compare with it. The Austri
an infantry proper is magnificent, the cavalry
superb; the riflemen equal to the l-rench, and

end of the cylinder is the figure of a kneeling
Indian, (one knee bent.) holding in one hand
a bent bow and in tbc other an arrow hilt and
the bnw string, evidently looking out for some
hidden enemy, whose topknot be is half satis
fied l e sees. On the other hand is a bunch of
scalp i! After handling it for some time, and
hearing something rattle inside, they at last
allowed their curiosity to get the better of
their judgment, and-thc workman^ took an old
axe and broke the relic of antiquity! Inside
they found something wrapped in ivhat looks
like a species of coarse flax matting, which
would seem to indicate that flax grew at one
time abundantly in our State.
After some little trouble they opened the
bundle, and found it contained seven pebbles,
like rubies, and a weapon, the blade of which
is of a transparent green stone, and shaped
somewhat like the blade of a knife. In leugth
it is ten inches, handle and all. Its blade is
slightly curved back, like a scimetar, and it8
edge, considering its age, is very keen. It is
in perfect preservation, and was probably bu
ried in this fashion in an air-tight receptacle
to give posterity some idea of that people, the
degraded remnants of whom we see on the re
servations. and an occasional specimen in our
cities. The clay vessel is fourteen inches long,
its smallest diameter being three inches, with
a thickness of two-thirds of an inch.
It is altogether a very valuable relic of other
■go*. M„.J no Mr. Tyler paid the man for any
interest lie possessed in it, he couldn’t do a
better thing than present it to the Society of
California Pioneers. What the seven ruby
colored stones and knife mean is to us a mys
tery. The ruby is a type of blood; so is a
knife of enmity. May it not be, then, that the
articles thus torn from the earth were emblem
atic of a buried feud ? This supposition seems
the more probable when we remember the
scenes and figures on -the vessel which con
tained these curiosities. Perhaps a war broke
out between the two greut Digger tribes, caus
ed mainly by tbc killing of au Indian of one
tribe by the Indian who is shown in the atti
tude of drawing his bowstring upon the vessel,
aud who probably belonged to the other tribe
—the scalps at the other end representing the
trophies gained in the war. No matter, how
ever, what speculations are indulged iu, there
is no doubt of ouc thing—that it is a most re
markable antique.—San Francisco National,

From the Richmond (Va. )Dispatch.
Louis napoleon and Great BrI-
TAIN.
A leading British periodical refers to the fact
that long ago, at Ham, and before, Louis Napo
leon repeatedly declared bis belief that he was
destined to restore tlie Empire, and to recover
the old boundaries of France. Before the Cham
ber of Peers he once said that he “represented
a principle, a cause, and a defeat: the principle,
the sovreignty of the people as opposed to le
gitimacy ; the Cause, the Empire; tlie defeat,
Waterloo."—More recently, he held up os Napo
leon’s strongest title to the gratitude of French
men, that he abdicated rather than consent to
her dismemberment —i. e. her confinement to
her former limits. It is also said that he has
more than once avowed to his intimates his de
termination to have a page of history to himself,
and his idea of realizing his ambitious dream by
an achievement which no one, since William,
Duke of Normandy, has attempted.
The same high authority lias avowed that
Louis Napoleon is not the foolish imbecile it was
long the iashion to consider him. It says he is
naturally shrewd, secret, and impenetrable; he
lias the invaluable faculty of silence; be listens
to every one, asks advice fiom no one, g'.ves bis
interlocutors no idea whether or not their argu
ments have made the least impression upon him,
but revolves his plans in the gloomy recesses of
his own brain, and brings them forth matured,
homogeneous and unexpected. Added to this, lie
is a fatalist, a believer in liis “star,” and to such
heights has that star led him that he may well
believe there can be nothing imposible in the
future.
Louis Napoleon now appears in a new* charac
ter, tliat of a military leader, and he may surprise
the world as much by his abilities in the battle
field as tbc cabinet It was a hazardous under
taking to provoke a comparison between himself
and the greatest modern master of the art of
war; cut it can hardly be supposed that one so
sagacious and discreet would liave attempted
such an experiment from a mere splendid and
uncalculating audacity. If as is declare)!, it is
Louis Napoleon who has directed the military
movements of the Allies in Italy, ho has already
proved himself the first general, as well as the
greatest statesman of Europe.
It Is said to be a peculiarity of his character
that he never abandons an idea or a project he
has once entertained; that history affords a few
examples of such relentless and pertinacious, as
well as inscrutable will. If this be so, the peo
ple of Great Britain arc not without reason for
the apprehension that be will one day turn his
attention to the fast anchored isle, and attempt
to wipe out the foul blot of Waterloo, He owed
his elevation to the army; it is the army which

"the empire is peace,” If two wars have occur
red during the short reign of the Emperor, it is
because the loyalty of tlie army can only bc se
cured by war. War rallies all the legions to
the imperial regime; war postpones tlie dan-'

ty. Of all wars, none would be so popular
with tlie entire French nation as a war With
England. That ia a war which, sooner or later,
oast come, if Napoleon remain on the F’rench

storm docs burst, it will try the vigor and resour

she has ever been" involved Her ancient ally,
Russia, alienated by tho Crimean war, and Aus
tria prostrate beneath the French armies, she
will have to bear the blunt alone of the most
colossal military power of the earth, directed by
the most subtle, daring, and determined spirit
of the age. It is well for her to be distrustful,
wary, and vigilant There is no telling when
the hero of the coup d etal will strike.
Buying' a New Stoyc.
The following “good one” ia told of a newly
married couple who started hoUse-kceping a
short time since:
Among other articles of household furniture
purchased by the new house-keepers, the most
necessary, of course, was a new cooking stove.
It was procured at one of our first-class es
tablishments. and if we may believe the gen
tlemanly clerk who officiated on the occasion,
it was warranted to be one of tbe most com
plete articles of tbe kind ever invented. Home
was tbe new stove sent, and properly put up
by au employee of the establishment. After
getting everything necessary to enter on the
duties of house-keeping, the attentiou of the
couple was the first directed to atrial of the
new article. A fire was accordingly started
by tbe mistress of tbe bouse the morning fol
lowing her entry on her responsible duties,
when, greatly to her surprise, aud not a little
to the chagrin of her “liege lord,” the flames
became extinguished and tbe room filled with
smoke. What could be tbe reason that the
stove did not draw, neither could divine, and
after looking in the stove, around the stove,
and up the chimney, and being put to their
wits' end to ascertain where the difficulty ex
isted, it was mutually agreed that they had
been “sold" and completely taken in by the
stove dealer.
With indignation flashing in his eyes, the
purchaser forthwith started for the stove deal
er's establishment, where he related the ina
bility of himself and wife to use the stove, and
demanded that his money should be immedi
ately refunded him. Greatly astonished at
what he had heard, the dealer called in the
person wjjo was employed to put up the stove,
who assured him, in answer to his interroga
tions, that be had left the stovein a tip top or
der, and that unless the chimney was stuffed
up. there was no reason under the sun why it
should not perform all tlie duties for which it
was constructed. The purchaser was tbereup- .
on assured by the dealear that he would not quired an affectionate mother of her son.
only stand up to liis agreement to refund the “Why, ma, one of the boys said I darsent
gratE f it was in the condition represented by
the former.
The dealer proposed to send one of his men
to examine tlie “provoking article,” to which
the purchaser readily assented, (how could he
do otherwise after the very liberal offer of the
former?) while his eyes glistened with satis
faction at the prospect of having a new stove
to sell for old iron. Starting for home in com
pany with tho man sent by the dealer, it was
not long before they readied the scene of the
trouble. The difficulty was easily remedied
—a fire was made in the stove, and it was not
long before everything was in readiness for
cooking either a surloin steak or a small sized
pig. greatly to the consternation of the happy,
or_we should say, for the moment, unhappy
pair. When the man sent to examine the
stove bad returned to the establishment, the
dealer made inquiry as to the condition in
which he found the aforementioned article.—
The answer, which set the establishment in a
roar, we give as it was uttered :—“Why,"
says be, “what doyou think ? They had made
a fire in the oven of the store /”
A Kangaroo Hunt.
The real fun of Australia is Kangaroo hunt
ing. Having seen a mob of these animals in
the neighborhood of the camp, we determined
to try and kill one. We borrowed all the
kangaroo dogs we could hear of (these dogs
are a cross between the English bull-dog
and greyhound, thus uniting strength and
speed,) and started off. The'gentleman wtio
acted as huntsman was au old Indian officer.
The dogs were coupled two and two, and led
by a clack fellow, while the rest of us' rode a
few yards behind. The huntsman went for
ward with a fine little setter to start the game.
Numerous bush-rats were put up, hut no kan
garoos. After some skillful nianceuvering,
which ended in nothing, we rode on somewhat
carelessly. I’resently there was a loud “hal
lo,” and we saw four boomers in the front.—
The dogs were immediately uncoupled and
gave chase. At first they had started wildly
rushing from one to auotlier, but after a time
followed an old dog who was on the track of
the largest kangaroo, u fellow standing full
six feet high.
It was a pretty sight to see him going over
the ground in a scries of jumps. He would
spring down a declivity at a fearful pace, using
his long hiud legs only. It has been said that
the kangaroo uses his tail in jumping, but this
is not the caso. I was well mounted, but had
the greatest difficulty in keeping him in sight.
Crack—quantities ofstars in my eyes—I found
I bad run foul of an overehaugiug tree, but
we went through it somehow. The horse
knew well what he was about. You had to
sit close and give him his heud, and be would
steer your legs clear of trees; mind your own
head, as that is no business of the animal’s.—
In and out of trees, now crashing down a range
as steep as the side of a house, now getting
nearly foundered in the swamp which is in
each bottom. On wc went.
The kangaroo has nearly had enough of it.
He will not face tbe next hill. So off he bounds
along the level ground at the foot. If the dogs
can only keep him from the range we shall
dine on “steamer." There he breaks on the
plain. Wherever the ground slopes down he
heats the dogs; up hilt he is no match for
them. Poor fellow, it Ls hard work. I can
see his labored leaps from where lam. “Blue"
is close at his heels, A big tallen tree lies
straight before him. He springs over only to
get entangled iu the boughs beyond. “Blue”
has tumbled over him. He has hugged the
dog with his short fore-legs. In a ;moment
his sharp hiud claw will have ripped up the
poor animal. But Capt. , who has killed
wild boars in India, jumps from his horse and
pokes the wretched beast under the shoulder
with his bowie-knife. We cut off liis tail tri
umphantly. This ia a-very seriously extra
load to a tired horse. Capt- •—— prA^uitcd mo
with it sarcastically, as a reward for my plucky
riding. It was an honor I well could have
dispensed with. However, there the tail was,
and had to go home; so trying to fancy how
nice the soup would he, 1 fastened the thing
to the saddle, and off we set, “My horse and
L” Before our return we had slaughtered u
couple more. A good kangaroo ruus twenty
miles. Tbe pace is very severe. It reminded
me of galloping after a lox down the grassy
slopes of Hampshire. Crafty sportsmen cut
off the animal by pursuinga straight line. Tbe
kangaroo runs in a semicircle, consequently a
gallop along tbc diameter of a circle, if your
time is correct, brings the horseman up with
his quarry at the end of the said diameter. I
confess, however, that this plan does not al
ways succeed. Several times when I have
been out the kangaroo ran straight on end.—
Tbe eatable parts are the hind quarters aud
the tail. The former is little inferior to veni
son ; the latter is made into a rich soup, much
resembling ox-tail. Coining home we fell in
with the emu. As.the wind was in his favor,
he spread liis wings and went off at a terrific
bat.” The dogs, tired with their previous
exertious, soou gave up tbe chase. As for our
liUiacot tl»»v tar Pro fur tAO gruv«IUJ to Loop up
with a bird that could run very nearly a mile
in three minutes. However, when you get
them on the plain they fall an easy prey.—
These birds are full of oil, which tbe huslimen
collect and use when they arc suffering from
rheumatism. They rub it iu externally, and
it is said to be so penetrating, that if applied
too long the bones become brittle.
Zouaves.—The latest edition (just publish
ed) of Webster’s quarto dictionary gives it the
following definition: ••The namo of au active
and hardy body of soldiers in the F’rench ser
vice. originally Arabs, but now F’rcnchmen
who wear the Arab dress.” It is “derived from
the Arabic word Zouaoua. a confederacy of the
Arabic tribes who live on the mountains back
of Algiers.”
Magyars is the name of a people who in the
9th century invaded and overrun Hungary,
previous settled by the Huns. The Magyars
are still the dominant race in Hungary.
Coolie, or Cooyly, or Kuli, is a llindoston
word, and means day laborer. The Europe
ans in China have adopted it to designate Chi
nese day laborers both of India and China.
Sepoys(Hindoo,Hepahai.) means a native of
India employed in the military service of a
European power.—Journal of Commerce.
Compliment to a California Editor.—
The editor of the Mariposa Gazette having in
dulged in sundry “flings” in his journal at the
infants and children in his locality,Jby calling
them “brats," “imps,” See., a “surprise par
ty” of some twenty young mothers was lately
formed to present him with n memorial of their
feelings. They waited patiently with their
“ little responsibilities” in their arms, until the
guilty man wa3 inveigled among them; and
then presented him, says the Mariposa Star,
with a magnificent pewter medal, about ten
inches in diameter, and weighing ten or fifteen
pounds. It bore on one side a life-likeness of
the recipient, and the following inscription :
“ To the Ill. Ed. of tbe Gaz.” On the reverse
was tbe following: “Presented to L. A. Holmes
by the Mothers of Mariposa, for the interest
and affection manifested to their Children.”—
Tbe red ribbon by which the medal was sus
pended was placed around his neck by a Mrs.
Richardson, and a Mrs. Burke made an appro
priate presentation address.
A Black Republican Member of Congress,
about to make hislirst speech, expressed much
apprehension that his hearers would think he
had hardly sufficient calibre for the subject.

FASSaiAN’S
IRON HOOPS AND TIES,
FOR COTTON BALES.
Price G cents per pound, 25 per cent less than
'Rape.
Any one considering the advantages of Iron over
Rope as a material for binding cotton bales, will be
burprised that it has not been adopted long since.—
In ia security against fire, there is an overwhelming
reason for its adoption. ... »
The presses in the seaport cities have been the
main cause of its not being generally adopted; but
now that objection is removed generally, and the
Orleans Press, the largest in New Orleans, gives it
tbe preference over rope. TheFassman Iron Hoop
and Tie is the improvement of one of the proprietors,
and is adopted from the fact, that it is tound, after
Ipng experiment, to combine the greatest merits in
simplicity and facility of application of any one yet
made. It is so prepared as to require no change for
re-compressing. Thus obviating the only remain
ing difficulty at the teaboard cities.
Tlie hoops arn sent of any length, from eight ot
ten feet, and a full guarantee given that neither the
Ties nor Hoops shall break. And # further, that all
cotton bound in them shall be received on the same
terms, at the Orleans Press, as rope bound cotton.—
The weight per bale is about the same as rope, not
one pound more or less.
To show the opinion shipmasters have of it, we
give the following, among numerous commenda-
tionawehave: . . . , ,
Tbe undersigned masters of vessels, having had
cotton compressed with Passman's new Iron Hoops
nud Ties, hereby recommend the same. The bales
being well compressed, and the buttons or hoops,
never breaking when thrown down in the ship’s
hold, or when stowed.
