Wish business demanded three new ones every day. —We learn that Messrs. Dunn & Cole will soon have their first cargo of cypress cross-ties off for market, from their works on the Little Satilla. —What bos become of the Glynn Guards? Is it defunct? Can’t it be resuscitated? The arms are scattered around, but where are the men? Who will answer? —We met Mr. Buscey, the “picture man,” on our streets a few days since. He represents things lively in Darien, where he is now stopping. We recom mend his work to our Darien friends. —The Oceanics, we learn, contem plate an excursion to Darien abont the 15tli inst. We bespeak for them a hap py welcome and kind treatment at the hands of the citizens of our sister city. —Our town was somewhat enlivened on Monday last by an excursion of colored folks from Fernandina and St- Marys. They seemed to have enjoyed themselves very much. —The meetings at the Baptist Church by the young revivalist, Rev. Mr., Faekler, still- continue. He has been holding open-air meetings, also- We attended one of these last Sabbath afternoon, on the Bay. About two hundred people were present, white and colored, and the best of order pre vailed. —Ten or a dozen schools in town, and yet we see numbers of children running around loose. Parents, you may regret this some day. If one school don’t suit you, try another, but, by all means, keep your boys out of the streets. Curtail somewhere else, and not at your child’s expense. —If times are dull, why keep on such an awfully long face? Wake up, man! Stir around and fix you up a new sidewalk in front of your place of business, and put up a new sign like the hardware firm. Then bring us in yonr advertisement and subscribe for the Advertiser, and—and be happy. —We hear a rumor to the effect that the good people of St. Marys contem. plate an excursion to Cumberland on Friday, 5tli inst., and that the same steamer will come on to B. to take down parties from here to the same point. A happy thought that; our young people can thus have a uleasant trip, and get acquainted with their neighbors at the same time. —Savo up your spare change, ye lovers of good things, against the La dy Washington Tea-PaTty to be given by the Presbyterian ladies. The old “Gineral” will be on hand, and no mistake, and Mrs. “Gineral” and the little “Gineral,” and that said hatchet that slaughtered the old gentleman’s , peach, plum, apple, cherry, or pear tree, as the case may be. A good time we look for. ’ —He sent back his paper, and now regularly every Wednesday morning slips around to his conscientious neigh bor and borrows the Advertiser! May the sandflies bite him, the fleas torment him, the roaches orawl over him when he is asleep, and the daring mosquito sing lullabies all around his ears from dewy eve till early morn; may jiggers get in his toes, “grey- backs” in his clothes, cuckle-burs in his wool, gnats in his eyes, and spi ders in his dumplings; may all these evils befall him, and even more until he shall have repented of this awful sin and changed his tactics. After that, may he prosper continually. Y. M. P. M.—We are pleased to learn that efforts are being made to establish and maintain a Young Man's Prayer Meeting in our town. The hall has been put in motion, and meetings are being held at the M. E. Church every Wednesday night. We hope the movement will be entered into with proper spirit, and be the means of ac complishing much good among that class of our people in whom we all feel a deep interest—the young and rising generation. Remember, it is to our boys we look for the weal or woe of our land and country. son of General and Lady Washington. Some ten yonng ladies and five young gentlemen will be attired in the cos tumes of that period. These will take pleasure in serving at the tables. While there will be much to excite th® appetite and gratify, the tnste, ther 0 will be the additional charm and inspi ration of fine mnsic. The charges too, will be most moderate—for sup per, 25cts.

There seems to be no end to it From every direction comes the start! ling news of villainy and rascality. The high and low, the rich and poor* seem alike to share in the grand games of “Do-as-you-please,” “Get-all-you- can," “Keep-all-you’ve-got," “Love- who-you please,” etc., etc. “Watchman, what of the night?’’ Does the morning dawn? Is there, indeed, a ray of light striving to pene trate this pall of ■ corruption’s night, lift the mantle and, as if by magio touch, bring to life the decaying corpse? O, shades of the great and good in all ages and in every sphere in life, look down upon those who would fain - fill your places! How far short they do come! and yet we are told that thi 8 glorious 19th century outstrips every thing that has passed; we grant it, but in only one particular—universal cor ruption. Nor is this confined to poli. tics alone, but extends through every branch of society, even to the church itself. Nothing seems too pure for its unhallowed touch. Ministers of the Gospel and high church officials have fallen a prey to the surging tide and gone under in disgrace. Well might we all ask whither are wc tend ing and where will we take up? Lady Washington Tea-Party, The ladies of the Presbyterian “Aid Society” propose to have a Lady Wash ington Tea-Party on next Tuesday evening (May 9th), at the residence of Rev. Mr. Mickle. It shall be their zealous endeavor to make it a pleasant and enjoyable entertainment for all who may favor them with their pres ence. The public generally is respect fully invited to attend.
