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.

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 fair city has entirely upset me with its round parties and gay gatherings. You know I met you at Dr. C.’s on that memorable night—you know as well as I, how rapidly the fleeting mo ments, full, of pleasure, passed away—how ra diant and sparkling were those angels of earth, but did riot know that the violet_eyed beauty, whose prcsenqp is to me a- perpetual joy—I say you did not know ‘•How like a Winter wastior absence then."

Alston, well known in this State’ many years ago as a prominent citizcii of Han cock county—subsequently long a resident of Ixion county, Florida, and during the list six or seven years of his life a citizen of Thomas coun ty, Georgia. He died very suddenly on the 2-lth nit- in tho presence of nnu of his servants, and before any of the white family could reneli him, having been apparently in ordinary health but | a few moments before. The lamp of lifo had literally burned out, for the Colonel must have been very nearly eighty years of age. He was a man of many faults and many noble qualities.

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!

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 and the party fled. He *was then taken to a Drug Store, and the wouptl was examined, and supposed to be mortal, lie 'is now. lying in great agony': the ball has not.been fount!, ahd is supposed to'be lodged in the stomach. - It would seem almost impossible for him to recov er.

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.

Tim A'ltA:-President's 'Speech,—Hon, John C. Breckinridge, thc A'ice-President qf the Uni- ted'Statos, delivered last AYednesday, at Frank 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. .
