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.” ■ At this time, the population of the Colony did ortiuiv, it became necessary not, perhaps, exceed five thousand souls, judg- d to another hemisphere I ing from the ratio ofincntise before noticed.— ■ .—•.I lonmiltv >».l Butit was the germ of an Empire, as the pres ent will show.

JerewwebOTi 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. fit fUmt I— -E ^ n mint tramier Ir* 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 .1 * *• s..f\iiitr\r not iKinUSOir 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, April 16. 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 TV Trustees appointed don’t some of these ornary Cmro cu.ses want ^*«rtens, in whom Jthe judi- to tackle me ?

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 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.

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. L. L. Condey, Captain of ship Moses Davenport, A.UOUIIISOU, — n-lroa.
