To iny Cousin ii I IliD MAI! 1.1.\.
Dn Bittdur's creek, Richmond county.
Devr Louzr
Wii n I had the pleasure of writing to yn last, I
stat <1 th it I vv uld give you nil account of my visit
to th* Governor's I* irty.
I believe I was the first distinguished stranger thai |
was i ivi'e I. Wh o I looked at tiie little invitation i
ticket anti read “AL». Zeke Homespun, I i'- it 'cry
proud—-in fuel, I took it as it mark of particular re
spect. I showed the tick< tio our leprervittaiion here,
and they told inr that every body was iuvitrd, and
that the Governor would he glad to see im* in atten
dcnce. This news partly soured me, as I thought
that the partv was to be a select one, and your Cousin
Zeke io be one of the lions. I got over my mortifi
cation, however, and com lulled to go. The invit -
linn.lead “yot:r company is solicited at 7 o’clock,” I
and as ill it w.i- rather la er for me to eat supper than j
I had been in the habit of, 1 thought I would go a lit- i
tie earlier. I went to the Mansion, and was very
po'itely ushered into the sitting room—but there were |
so many that g t H ere bcfoiC me, I h id no chance to !
be introduced to anv of the folks.
I t II you what it is Et del, the people poured in in ;
battalions—gent emeu and ladies—Senators and Rc
pres, iniitivrs—Union men am! N llilicrs—ami all the
whole world s. emed t<> be coming to the party. I
wa, < row di d ou i very si«b, (■(••aid hardly breathe, and
was all the time w liting impatiently to hear the sup
per bell ring. But Zeake was disappointed. Tin*
ladies and gentlemen would io k arms and promcnad
around the vvh> )e n ansion. Another ciowd were
d incing in the rotunda—and in a room very handy,
wre the refreshments. I candidly confess I visited
the la-t room oftener than 1 should have done, but
there was u > resisting the apple toddy. It is pretty
good Ibra pcr-oii who has had t e Augusta fever.
After I went into the mansion, I put my hat, among
some few o hers, which were on a table in the entree.
About an hour alter there were five hundred hats in
the same <-r wd. I thought mv hit was none —but
thank fortune nobody would have Zeke’s hat, but
they threw' it off about ten feet from where I put it,
and ii looked when I found it, like it had been (kink
ing toddy itself, and had got on a spree, and had
been u nipped.
When 1 was squeezing from one room to another,
the ladies were always in my way. I could hardly
step without coming in contact with silk or satin. I
did not know the name of bin one present, ami some I
gander looking bioadcloth chap had one of his coat
skeve under her arm, an I you know there is no j
ch<>n<e lor Homespun wh re broadcloth and sp eta-:
des can show out. I spoke tos vend ladies, and they '
seem'd quite familiar: and I was p'Ottd oi the notice ’
1 claimed. Two or three made -ome remarks about
me as 1 passed—but I did not feel disposed to tell
them some sound truths.
In one corner of the spacious hall of this mansion,
I saw a gentleman and lady in do-e conversation. I
lounged tip in heir dire, tion, and did not seem to no
tice them, as I Knew my homespun coat would not in
duce much respect. Tne only thing that a man has
to do to be perfectly at ea-e any when-, is to dress
liim.eli m < <>un ry m niractur. d clothes.
“1 deci it,” ,aid the lady “that iou do flatter tne
Mr. Sp< t t.n les, 1 am c r ain ti at ( hurl' s never ■ ould
havt said *o. 1 never < ould think that he thought
more oi m th n wit t iriemiship and good ledinj
would a tat . And I i his loving me, oh! I de
d-itc i iio not believe it—you must be trilling with
me .'.ii. bpc» t it s ”
•• Ido assure you, Mi'S,” th gentleman replied,
•‘diat Ut:arl< s is passion ah Iy in love with you, and
only wants an opportunity to declare bi' warm attach
ment to y mi.”
‘ I. w..s mdy last Sunday,” replied the lady, “that
I .'aw him w.dtang with Sally Bangs, as they call her
—and he is now promeuad.ng witlulier ail through
this hon-e—il he thought any ding favorably of me,
he would pay me some little at t ntioti h» re any how
—1 conics.' I did at one time think very highly of:
‘Charles, bin hist (induct has (bsgusti d me with him—
lie is a young man of so little principle and so much I
assurance tout 1 wonder bow he is respet ted at all by I
any person. Indeed, il 1 was a gentleman, I would !
not keep hi' coinpanv,—lie is too mean to talk about j
_n
Jtt'l about tlii* time Ch ole. p «;cd along, chatting
and laughing with Mis. Salty, which ot course exci
ted the temper of the lady who was speaki: g about
them.
• “'I hat dri s.'” she continued ‘ that Sally wears
here to-night is a borrowed one, and she is now strut
lint’ about a.' it n<> p< rsou was hall as go >d as 'he is.
There >s one thing, ;.ny how, in favor of Sally ; she
ought to be a good nur*e by thi' nine, for I know She
has been attending, as IT. Fiasliavvay would say, an
issue lr< in an abrasion of he cuticular integuments of
her light siippottcr—but the girl is making a fool of!
Charles, and I know he wi 1 find it out.”
The crowd pushed me out of my place and I could
not hear the balance of Hie conversation I w-nt
back and introdm < d my si If to apple toddy—and
tnou.. hl about fi inaie jealousy and km. There was
one little rosy faced girl, about twelve or fifteen, who
ran tip to me atm stt.d “Mister, wnat did you bring
dow n in your wagon ?” A f w chon e mips and whet
stones. 1 replied. Ico ad have bit a nail’s head ofl,
the little imxeu made me so mad.
'Pile cotillion t< ok no little of my attention. The
yoi.nir gentlemen I «aw engngid in the dame weie
very line looking, bui some were disfigured with
*pe taeles, w liidi yon know C >usin Etlnel, I do des
pise. ’Pre bulbs looked beautiful, were diessed
•neatly and tasteiuiiy, ami to my mind, were as nearly
allied to divinit e- as a .y t. itig unearth can be. The
dancing w v> iy passable. I had no idea that the
y m.>g la .o s ami gentlemen up here could “trip the
light fa ta-tic toe” in so very chaste and beautiful a
•lyie. I de-iied very much to show off one of my
country -h. flics, but there wh* no chance, without in
terrupting die happy spirits that weie there assem
ble i, wliiib I womd not have done “for the sea’s
worn but when 1 wrin to mv room, I can tell iou,
the niiy Iw hr tied the old stack tune, a.id shufll 'd ofl'
the dance, was a caution—’mt al this time, 1 < atinot
say wlietbir n was your Cousin Z. ke or the aj pie
toddy that done the business.
The suppe r came al last, and I need not tell you,
wlui know my gasuic propensities, that I went into
the goodies widi a peilect rush. I would lire if I
related to you the splendid affair—it i- »o pleasing
to me to think ol yet, ti at I almost wi-li die Govern
or would give me ait invitation to such a feast of
reason and flow Irotn 6mr/, every evening for the ( ti
ming y ear.
And now Cutis'll I'.tliifl, I have told you nothing
abotil the p otv—it is not possible for, me to do -o,
unless i wH'<- to lolloa an old liiruo’s example ai d
write -*.» book.” But, why are such parlies (jiveii?
Why should the Governor ol Georgia, be taxed an
nually to giv e-mil a lev e<—and, further, when there
is no building ii State, extensive enough to give
the cel it w hicli is iuteudi d.
It is I k. the custom of anno d levi es which
has piev ailid in Mdieilgev ille for t io la-t few yeais,
originated m s >me party act or po itical manoeuvre,
and tin- good seli-e . t Hie people hould sancti 'll its
discontinuance. Il it is t o:.tinned, I promise the
public that 1 will never bra nine a candioate lot Gov
ernor. It is a bad precedent, established, and the
sootier it is destroyed the better; at least, “them’s
my sentiments.”
But I must conclude, not however, without wish
ing health and happiness to the hospitable ami agree
able tenants id the Executive Mansion of Georgia.

MAJOR “M.”
But Lacon, Scavenger like, rakes up its putrid car
case,” &c. This abuse is noticed, not for tin- pur
pose ol answering it, but in order to furnish a speci
men of delicate conception and expression on the part
i ol’ M.
“His [Lacon’s] allegation [town regency,] is de
nied; its truth is questioned ; it is pronounced a false
| hood; mid “Lacon” must bear the denunciation, or
I prove the existence of his regency, the names of the
| vice-geia nts, and their attempt at dictation.” The
: peop.e of Putnam, need no information on any of
j these points. Their recent action shows the opinions
I they < ntei tain.
“I have heard this same Charge from “Lacon” for
I the last four year-. Turning loan Id pamphlet, da
ted in 1832,—1 find lie then sung the old -oug of
“ town and country.”—He sung it then with some ef
fect,” tkc. YY hetber it has been recently sung to anv
'fleet, perhaps M. can decide.
“ In twelve months, however, he changed his posi
tion and forgot his former friend'.” Ou these points
perhaps 1 have said t tiough. I: is verv certain, how
ever, that 1 did not fmget my former friends, till they
forgot their former princ pies; and that I did not
change my position till they changed theirs.—But
how can M. talk of' change? “The people saw the
trick ’ —M. talking ol trick ! —“and left him to his
I te.”—l know not that they have recently left a io
thi-r to his t ite—“ and though lie Ii ,s ever since
sounded the same old notes, they are only heard as th
lorn ly nioaniugs ’ —perhaps a sense of ihe solitary
may have since come over the Major himself.
“ T Iley are only Heard as the lonely im>ani:igs of a
broken-down politician.” VY hi ther the Ptlaj >r him
self may now be tanked among brokcn-iloirn politi
cions, 1 know not. Il trick and change can avail
him, he may not.’ It is certain, however, that in
1835, “ tne people saw ///’*• tricks,” and gave him a
greatly diminished vote. The opportune occurrence
ot the Florida campaign s-vtd him from “his fate;”
and his well-known duplic.ty, coucuring with other
causes, k< pt him on tin- surl ice, (though he again be
gan to sink in 1838,) liil die fatal first Monday in Oc
tober, 1839 1
“ 1 hey adopted iu 1832, your sentiment, now no
longer sustained by >uu”—but it is still sustained by
me; it is still c rrect—-that “the most meritorious
men who pre', nt tin tn-e ves, ought io be selected,
without :egard to a few miles difference of residence.”
I ii'y w ill again act upon the same principle”—upon
tins very principle they have rejected M.—“though
you should croak “town and country” to the nay of
y our i eath.” I now again warn 3.1., and all concern
ed, as 1 have r> pi at' dly dime before, that die idea of
town und country will continue to have, as it ought to
have, considerable influence in disposing of public
honors. Tne people will newr believe that all the
political worth m tile community is colle< t< d in the
towns. They w ill condone t . believe that th sub
stantial farmer or mei hmic would 10-e notlrng in
comparison even with the worthy lawyer, doctor or
merchant. They will not believe that the capaci y
to harangue a popular assembly , or toaddr' ss a pub
lic body for hour', is essential to an efficient discharge
of public duty . Good policy then obviously require -,
as 1 said in 1832, th <t in conferring public honors,
“men ol merit should be selected from various
points, a- every section has an excu-ab e neighbo.-
hood partiality.”
Reiterating an idea previously suggested, M. >avs;
—“They st e that your great love lor tne “conmrv”
is only to promote your o« n intere-ts by pulling down
some oie else,” Str. lam perfectly willing that this
community should judge of my motives. 1 remark,
however, at the same time that I agiin deny the
charge that my motives have very little t > do with the
matter in hand. The question is not whether mv
motives are good or bid, but win ther I speak truth
or fils. hood. Os both my motives and my veracity,
however, I am willing for the people to judge.

This has been a quiet wee -, with a gradual im

advanced, though not largely. Bills on Europe so

WOMAN.
The following is a fine passage, but we are unable
to name its author;—“As the dove wii! < L.sp its wing
to its side, and cover and conceal the arrow that is
preying on its vit ds—o is the nature of woman to
hide Loin the woild the pangs of wounded ati’ection.
With her tiie desire of her heart has faded. The
great chann of existence is at an end. Look for her,
altera while, and you find friendship weeping over
liei it (timely grave, and wondering that otic, who hut
I (tidy glowed with all the radiance of health and beau
ty should now he brought down to ‘ darkness and the
worm.’ You will be told of some wintry chill, some
light indisposition that laid her low—but no one
knows the mental malady that previously separated
her strength an t made her so easy a prey to tiie spoil

TO MANAGE A REARING HORSE.
In preference to the danger us experiment of ( til
ling a rearing horse backward, I recommend die adop
tion ofth- following method ; YVhenevt r you perceive
rite horse’s inclination to rear, seperate your reins and
pi epare for him ; the in-tant he is about to rise sla< k
en one hand and bend or tvv ist liis head with the other,
keeping yourhamls low. This bending compels him
to move his hind leg, and of necessity brings his fore
leg down. Instantly twist him completely round two
or three times, w hp h wi l confuse him very much, and
completely throw him off his guard. The moment
you have finished twisting him round, place his head
in the direction you wish to proceed, apply the spur
sharp’ v, and he will not fail to go forward ; if the situ
ation be com enient, press him into a gallop, and apply
the spur and whip two or three times (hut not more)
severely. The horse wi 1 perhaps, not be quite satis
fied with the first dele >t, but m iy feel disposed to-try
again for the mastery. Should this be the case, you
have only to twi't him, &lc., as before, and you will
find that in the second struggle he will be more easily
•übdued than on the first occasion—in fact you will
perceive him quail under the operation. It rarely
happi ns that a rearing horse, after having been treated
iu the wav d< scrib'd. will resort to his tricks a third
time. But on going into other hands, and hav
ing another rider, he will be very likely to have re
course to rearing.—[The Sportsman.
MODE OF HATCHING CHICKFNS.
No one, whilst at Ghizeh, should omit seeing the
chicken manufactory, where two old men perform tlrn
maternal duties of as many thousands of the gallin
aceous tribe. The eggs are spread out on a flat sur
face of cl iy, in ovens kept, of course, night and day
at a uniform degree of heat. The old men visit their
charge con t uitly, turn the eggs with long poles, so
as to bring every part of their surfaces in occa ional
contact with the clay bottom of the oven, w hi- h is
somewhat warmer than the atmosphere. Il is an ex
traordinary sigiu! Every instant some little animal,
in hi . struggles to enter this wo. Id of troubles, bursts
its shell ami starts into l.fe (an orphan from its b'rth)
ke- ping the surface in a constant state of agitation.
They are immediately taken out of the oveo, placed
in baskets, and sold by measure— every old woman
in the neighborhood buying a pet le of the miserable
little creatures to lake home and dry-nurse uni I <hev
are able toshHt for themselves. I beii- vr this met! od
of hatching chickens i* common throughout Egypt,
alihoiigh I cannot stat' , on mv ow n mithoritv, ihtH
sm his the ca'e. If'so. it mav account for the degen
eracy ol’ die breed of’ f vvl' ; for they are iuv ari-ab’y
small, though tin eggs re not much less th in those
usu'iliv met witti in other countries.— [Capt. Scott’s
R oubles in Egypt and v andm.
