Washington, Jan. 7.—In tho House to-day
there was a debate involving party principles.
There was one ballot for Speaker, Sherman
lacking only three votes. Hamilton, from Tex
as, received 89. The remainder of the votes
were scattering.
January 8.—Thore is much alarm here, con
sequent upon the activity of the Republicans
to-day. in view of the prospect of an early dec;
tion of Speaker by the Democrats and Ameri
cans. The former have relinquished the hope
of being able to institute the plurality rule or
elect Sherman, and are canvassing to-day -for
another less obnoxious candidate.
Senator Toombs will not introduce his care:
fully prepared Bankrupt bill in "consequence of
tho threatening aspect of the political and so
cial relations of the country. .
Let Senator Toombs modify bis bill so as to
declare the political bankruptcy of the country,
and provide for going into liquidation. That’s
the idea.

SEWARD’S RECEPTION.
* There was quite a jubileo among the republi
cans of New Ygrk on Thursday; consequent up
on the ceremonies extending a welcome hbme
to Wm. ll. Seward from his late European tour.
At half past ten dfelock, A. M., the Old Men’s
and Young Mcn'x Republican Central Commit
tees assembled in parlor No.-'il in.tlie Astjir
House, whore the reception ceremonies - took
S laco. The room was densely crowifcd, and
ir. Seward entered in charge of a sub-commit
tee. • Ho was received with tlirge cheers. Ex-
Judge Peabody, the Chairman of the Old Men's
Central Committee, welcomed him with an ex
tempore speech, carefully refraining from mak
ing any allusion tq (he political events of the
day. Mr. Seward made a brief reply, giving a
synopsis of thc remarkable cbafteteristics of his
travels, and made his peroration without allu
ding to the “irrepressible conflict,” John Brown,
or other kindredsubject. After the ceremonies
at the Astor House, Mr. Seward repaired to the
City Hall, where he was met by Mayor Ticmann
and other officials, when speeches' were made
by tlie Mayor and ’Mr. Seward. Ex-Governor
King, Hon. Thurman Smith, of Conn., Hon.

GayiUc* of City Holidays—A Liinb of jlie
Late in a bad waif—Crops,'Politics,' fyc.

. My Dear Sir:—I do Jove Macon—always did,
but now more than ever. - J have had tho blue
and all’oUicr colored-devils since I buried my
self in my quiet bachclor.quartcrs, after- that
gay and joyous week-spent in your bright and
cliccry city just before Christmas.
What crowds of strangers throng your streets
—how lifo and bustle and activity pervajlo all
classes—boig lovely the women look, as they
take the whrtfo side-walk with gorgeouE silks
and velvets—their ample hoops and diminutivo
headgear. I devoted a full hour every morn
ing to Boardman’s corner, and am fearful that I
read more beauty in the eye of woman than I
extracted knowledge from the piles of books
close by—but console myself with the reflec
tion that. J am not tlio only green youth whose
professional investigations have been distracted
by the magnetic influences of woman’s charms.
Jufct-here I might appeal ti> -Shakspearc,- Pope,
Byron, Moore and other-imaginative and learned
votaries but I prefer my own crude thoughts.
J liaTe been’ heretofore satisfied jvith my lot
l have pot rebelled against the platitude .and
plethoric insipidity of village life. 1 liavefoeen
content U> drill refuge from, the satictyof soli
tude in tho learodng and loro of the sages of the
law—Fearrtc have 1 maua my menu, lokc -my
companion, and Blackstonc my constant attend
ant; but latterly these profound disquisitors,
with all tlioir"charui of subject and style, have
'failed to allure—to attractor enchain me—I give
such physic to the dogs. I throw 'down' these
choice weapons of our. ennobled science and
seek refuge in the wild woods—under th*0 fret
ted "vaults ‘of eur gorgeous Sotliem sky—but
the solemn music- of tho pines, stirred by the
winter winds, is full of jnnhagpy suggestions,
and I’wartder back totny legal den, to think
again and again of Macon and its bright en
chantmcnts.
The truth is, my dear sir, that week in your

many years ago as a prominent citizcii of Han

Ixion county, Florida, and during the list six or
seven years of his life a citizen of Thomas coun

before any of the white family could reneli him,
having been apparently in ordinary health but

literally burned out, for the Colonel must have

DEATH OF FREDERICK JAUGSTETTER.
AYe are now called to mourn the loss of our lit
tle friend and schoolmate, Frzberick JacgeteTteR
—a loss.which.will be deeply felt in every Scho’ol
iq. the . city. He was good and obedient to his
parents, and kind-hearted to his school-mates.
He and ltis Toaeher met as strangers and parted,
as friends. That friend and teacher was Hr. AY.
B..Littlepage. In the Dngnt mornings of J-
we would all gather around our dear beloved
teacher,.to receive useful information; and little
Fredie was always seen with a bright smile upon
his face, which said, ‘welcome, little school-motes!’
How often have I heard his teacher cay, “AYould
that my house'was filled,with little Fredies.” His
school-mates knew there was one if not two schol
ars who loved their books. But above all things,
ho honored his father and mother; who, as they
lowered his remains into their last resting-place,
said, “God grant that we may meet in Heaven.”
Prayers were said by the pasto> qf the - church,
when they were all dismissed. But there were his
poor parqn'-s standing over his grave, mourning
the loss of their dear’ dear little son!. Farewell!
Farewell! my dear little friend! We have parted
to meet on earth no more; may we’ meet in Heav
en to live forever with God 1 ’

Another interesting occasion was the celebra
tion of.thc day at the Penitentiary. The hearts
of tho benevolent’ had not forgotten that whilst
the day wag. one of’universal joy to others, (o
hundreds of their miserable fellow-beings, con
fined within the gloomy walls of this prison, it
brought no festivity, nor for them had it any
charms. The directors in connection with the
Superintendent had acceded to the wishes of a
nuifiber of gentlemen in allowing the day to be
spent in-festivities by the inmates, and a sump
tuous dinner and its accompaniments was pro
vided for.them and- their guests. A large -num
ber of gentlemen repaired to tlie building at an
early hour of the day, and every thing was. so
arranged that the company could occupy ihe
same apartment with the convicts—the latter,-
to the number of several hundred, were ushered
in. . T. Tht Convict Sabbath School, in Conjunc
tion with their teachers," sang the 99th Psalm,
with an earnestness and apparent interest which
it "was pleasing to sec. For the amusement of
these unfortunate children j)f crime,■ the-Ward
en, Mr. Evans, had- invited an amateur Glee
Club to participate in the festivities, arid they
were now solicited to give tlie company a song
—which they did. The song was. yell chitscn,
as evinced by the sighs and tears which arose
during the.recital of “The Wanderer's thoughts
of Horne." Tt was evident that a powerful ef-
fect was produced upon the hearts of most of
the convicts by this touching melody. After
few moments, one of the prisoners, a firm Iook-
ihg and intelligent man, stepped forward, and,
by the-permission of the, AYardcn, who had
granted the request of the prisoners that one
fbeir'number, whom’they might select, should
address-the company, then spoke for. half an
hour. Ills address was marked by an ability
wliich is seldom seen a public speaker.
As-a laitntul artist, however, I must.give yon
the shades ot the pictures of which I have giv
en the lights ; and although there have becn ma
ny pleasing incidents to mark the holiday week,
yotthere have’not been a few to deplore. Some
of these have been of a horrid character, and
most of them the result of the wretched state
of morals which has been allowed to obtain,
here. The event which has, in a criminal point
of view, most Shocked and attracted the public
attention, was the cowardly and murderous at
tack upon, and probably fetal, shooting of
somewhat noted character named Franklin alias
Petty Naff Naff was formerly one of the
leaders'of the New Market Engine Company,
ahd was frequently engaged in the ’fights To
which that once bcligcront company was a par
ty. For sometime past, however, perhaps two
years, and since the aboye company was -dis
banded,'lie has been a quiet and orderly - man
and was engaged as a boatman to the Custom
House.- He has always been; a strong Demo,
crat in politics, and refused to join tho' rowdy-
clubs who adhered to the Know Nothing par ty.
From, this and their' fears of his powers as a
powerful fighter, these rowdies have hated him,
ahd frequently - sought bis life. Some years
kg® h® was desperately shot through the neck
by one of their number, whilst actually protect-
ing hiS would-liS murderer from the assaults of
his own frieqds.' Nothing.but a powerful con
stitution then saved his life, as his wound was
supposed to be mortal. Gn Monday night last
about 10 o’clock, as himself-and a couple of
companions were passing tlirodgh a narrow
street, they, were met by a party of the well
known Regulator Club, at tho licad of which
was one of the newly-elected magistrates of'tlie
City, whoso name is AYestfy A\ r oodward. As
soon as met, one of the party knocked tlie hat
fr6m Naff’s head, and AYoodward, the magis
trate, told him that’ ho was under arrest, and
his prisoner; whereuponanojthcr of the gang
struck him from behind upon tho- head with a
policeman’s baton, knocking him down, when
he was beat and stamped upon by the whole
party; lie, however, managed to- escape some
distance from them, and upon regaining liis
senses, which had been bewildered by tholicat-
mg he had received, he found that his hat was
missing, and went hack to try and regain it;
upon approaching the party and asking for his
hat r YY r oodward stepped up to within a few feet
of him, and drawing a revolver, deliberately
shot him through the body. II0 foil at .once

will correct a verj' prevalent error among your
readers*—tbouglY-te my knowledge, it docs not
contain halt the Southern Authors who would
do honor to an}' country.
The last Telegraph on the Speakership has
the genuine ring of the true metal.
Southern literature
is a topic in the “Journal of Commerce,”
which says’:.
That out literature is not settioiial,’ and‘-the
South has actually fumished-a larger share of
interesting and important books than the North.
Weiknow that this may seem strange to the
croakers who are cycr harping upon the litera
ry barrenness at that South, but it is neverthe
less true that Some not only the most able, but
of the most remunerative books published *in,
the United States have been and are by South-’
erh Authors. During the past year there has
been 110 biography on either side of tho water
which surpasses the ability, dignity, and in
classic style, the interesting “Life and Times of
James Madison,?’ by Hon. AA’rn. C. Rives, of
.Virginia. Neither in England, nor in France
from a, number of volumes on field sports, in Eu
rope, India, and Africa, do we find a more racy,
graphic and interesting book than the “Caroli
na Sports,” by Hon. A\ r m. Elliott, of S. C.'. .
In the domain of fiction we are informed that
of “Grace-Truman," or Love and Principle,”
■written by Mrs. Ford, of Kentucky, more than
00,000 cqpies have been sold in arfew-months;
and that the “Hidden Path,” anjl “Moss Side,”
by Slariori Harland, of Richmond, A'a., have
had an aggregate sale of 73,000 copies;’ ‘Beulah,’
by Augusta J. Evans, of. Mobile, has passed _ . . . - . .
through fifteen editions in three months, and <K*c ot their political principle;, jfi
the demand is oy no means exhausted. “Mus- but I can assuroyou Ineverwila

there is that veteran in the literary world,'Wil
liam Gilmore Simms, who has not only written
gome- of our most popular works of fiction, but
has lately enriched his native State with his
yaluablc HistOry of South Carolina;.
In works of Theology, Intelectual Philoso
phy, &c:, the South is not behind. Dr. Fuller’s
“Sermons” are tin; characteristic and eloquent
Christianprpducts of the formerpastor of Beau
fort, S. C.,: who discussed with Dr. AYayland
tha question of slavery- ' Dr. Fuller’s sphere of

fort, Ky-., an able and exhaustive speech upon
national affairs. liis audience was large and
profoundly attentive, though.it is sfid not at all
unanimous ip their approval of -thc sentiments
submitted. Mr. Breckinridge, as a preliminary
topic, rc.curred to the history of Territorial leg
islation, and justified his vote irt favor of the
repeal of the Missouri Compromiso’line, and in
support of the Kansas-Xebraska bill. The tran
sition thence was easy to an endorsement of thc
views of the United-States Supreme Court up
on the.rights of slavery in.the Territories—-the
Drpd Scott’decision, ini tlio eyes' of tho AHcc-
Presldent, representing the full, consummate
flower of Southern rights under tlie Constitu
tion. "With that decision he regarded the Ter-
ritoriaHssuo as settled. TheTcrritories, wheth
er North or South of the erased line, will be
peoplpd by slavcholding or non-slavcholding
communities, with regard to political or Fede
ral influences. In regard to the present condi
tion of national politico the tone of tho Ajiee-
Prcsident was despondent. Thc great danger
to thc Union lies, hfe asserted, in the exis'tcncc
of a Republican party, whose principles, avow
ed three years since, have long been abandoned
in the heat of aiiti-slavery.feeling, and others
involving direct war upon slavery, not only in
the.Territories, but in the States substituted.
Tq .sustain this charge Mr. Breckinridge quoted
from Mr. Seward's, ltqchestcr speech and from
Helper’s compendium, alluded to. the RepAibli-
car. approval Of the latter compilation, and con
fessed that h6 saw no hope of salvation to the
Uniort so long as. the Republican organization
continued to exist.- The only redeeming aspect
of Northern Society-is the existence of frag
ments of the old AVhig party, loyally dcvotwl
to conservative measures. . In conclusion, Mr
Breckinndge exhorted the South to keep itself
^tnctly within Constitutional obligations and
in that Connection denounced the efforts of those
who were laboring -for; the restoration- of the
