Weekly constitutionalist. BY JAMES GARDNER. TUESDAY. OCTOBER 26. 53*" Chancellor Dahgax, of South Carolina, at last accounts, was laboring under a severe and dangerous attack of apoplexy. Ev" Among the list of patents recently granted we f.nd that Mr. W u. F.caney, of Bet zelia, in this State, has obtained one for an improvement in ploughs. The United States sloop of war, Lancaster, costing seven hundred thousand dollars, was launched at Philadelphia on the 20th inst. Miss Harriet Lasts, the niece of President Buchanan, christened the sloop. Etf* It is stated, in the news t uns of the Frets that ibelloa. Taos. Corwin, of Ohio, will soon take the stump in Illinois against Judge Douglas. The anti-DocGLAS papers of the South will “please make a note of this.” J3f The City Council of Columbia, S. C., have recently determined to have an iron pipe twelve inches in diameter laid in the principal street to conduct the water through the city from the basin on Taylor’s hill.

The disturbances among the native tribes continued, and the new Gcwe: nor bad started with a force against them. Sews had been received of a victory over the na tives at Champanr.ee, on the Zambezi. JS3T Another Jenny Lind f urore is raging in New York. At the Academy of Music on the 20th inst., all the seats for Picoolomini’s second con cert were sold in hail an hour. In some instances twenty dollars were paid for a single seat. It the same enthusiasm could be excited in New York in favor of the destitute poor of that city, immense suflering would be prevented and great and substantial good be effected. y3Bf* The Black Republicans and Know Noth ings in New York city have succeeded in effecting a fusion in the nominations for all their county officers. The Jribttne of the 20th instant says : . ,-s" Wehare now only our Congressional troubles jrf compose. Courage, friends, in and out oT our SVnte, we have every prospect of a grand, sweep .rg, beneficent triumph.” The Know Nothings in tiie South must prepare to be gratilied not, of worse, at the success of the Black Republican party, but at the defeat of the Democrats in New York. The friends of the Hon. J. Olanccy Jones, at Reading, Pa., fired one hundred guns on hearing of his appointment ns minister to Austria.

Wise, of Virginia, (says a Richmond cor respondent of the N. Y. Herald') has written a let ter warmly advocating the re-election of Senator Douglas, and maintaining his old anti-Lecompton position. It will soon be published. Specie in ins Boston - Banks. —The banks in • Boston are now strong in specie, there having ' been an increase every day since the 12th instant, wheij the amont was eight and a half millions. It ii< new a little rising of nine millions. The Mexican De3t.—The London Tim**, which - has long been urging the United States to annex the whole of Mexico, now charges ns with the de sign of repudiating the debt of that country. It had better wait till we have assumed it. The Amherst and Belcbertown (Mass.) rail road, which cost two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars, was, on Friday last, sold to the bondhold ers for forty-two thousand five hundred dollars. The road is twenty miles long. lll.—Rev. S. Keener Cox, D. D., formerly pas tor of the Methodist Protestant church, Ninth aireet, Washington, and more recently President of the Lynchburg (Va.) College, is said to be ly ing dangerously ill at his residence in Lynchburg. The Washington correspondent of the Associa ted Press reiterates his assertion that two of the .Society Islands have made an application for an nexation to the United States, on additional, and what he conceives to be reliable authority. The action of Count Sabtiues in the matter was not in his official capacity. Ohio Election. —The Cincinnati Gazette con- I tains returns from seventy-one counties in that | State, which show a Republican majority of near- j ly nineteen thousand: and from these returns the , Gazette infers that the majority in the whole State will not fall short of twenty-two thousand, being | a Republican gain of over twenty thousand on the rote for Governor last year. £y Unexpected Fobtene.— rjt is stated that a '\- ' surviving daughter of Aabon Bob* comes enriocs tj into possession of quite a fortune m this way: : jgcßit held a lease from Trinity Chnrch of the j Richmond Hill property, three or four hundred • lot* in the centre of New York, £>r sixty-six ! years. He re-leased the land for sixty-three years j to AiTOR and others, and their lease expires in | Hit). The lease for three years then belongs to j Bcrb’s daughter, and the claim is indisputable, I and the value of the lease very great. Already ; several of the lessees have compromised the claim , for from one tlmusand five hundred to two thou- j sand dollar? per lot. j Major Cooper's Railroad Completed. We find the foliow ng note from the Hon. Make A. Cooper, in the Cartersville Express cf i the 22nd inst: 8 Etowah, Ga., Oct 10, 1555. J To the Editor of the OirUrtßiile Express: 1 Dear Sir ; The Etowah railroad has this day beeu completed, and the trains are regularly run- j ning in connection wiin the passenger trains ot , the Western <fe Atlantic railroad. This being an ( era in our history, llie event was distinguished bv the tiring ofa salute, from ordinance made and , cast at Etowah Foundry. Mr. L. Kendrick was , our contractor for the building of the road, and J Eugene Leilardy the chief Engineer. ( As soon as arrangements at e made we will duly , celebrate the occasion. Morning guns will be fired til! the celebration. Yours respectfully yours, Mark A\ Coopke, President Etowah Railroad. . Major Cooprr is a Napoleon of work, and does whilst others speculate. At the last session of the Legislature, he applied for aid to build a r 01- road from his Iron Works at Etowah to the State road, upon conditions which would secure the State from the possibility of loss, and showed that his enterprise was entitled to it, if auy is, from the fact that he gives to the State road, from his own business at Etowab, as much freight as it receives from aDy of-the way stations between At lanta and Chattanooga. His application was con sidered and rejected, and in the mean tune, lie has taken all the stock in the road, which is several miles long, built it himself without aid from any quarter, and celebrated its completion with % sa lute from ordinance, which he has cast for the purpose. We take great pleasure in publish ing and endorsing the remarks which the Express appends to bis note: It will be seen from the above that Maj. Cooper has completed his railroad. And while it rellects the highest credit upon him, it stands as an evi dence of shame to those of our citizens who re fused him the little aid lie asked, to bring this road to our town. The incredulous hooted at the idea that a road would ever be built to the Etowah works, uud this very incredulity has thrown our town beyond the influence of its benefits. It was • i shame, we say, that a people so vastly interested in this movement, should have stood idly by and allowed Maj. Cooper to bear the entire burthen, when the benefits to them would have been so great. The State, too, actuated by a blind policy, has ever refused to render the least assistance to ' Maj. Cooper—a mau that has done more for her than any other. Iler legislators will now have an opportunity to show their statesmanship, for this road will tie extended, aud is destined to pay more and do more for the interests of our people than auy enterprise we know of. We extend to Maj. Cooper our sincere congrat ulations that his road has reached its completion. He certainly deserves the admiration and kindest wishes of all who have the good of our State at heart. Isuig may he prosper, and may this be but the dawning of a brighter and more glorious future for him and the enterprises he lias em barked in. We believe that tile great heart of cur people, with its warmest enthusiasm and sin -1 cere admiration, will demand for him the just cluims he so richly merits, from the hands of our legislature. We can assure Maj. Cooper that the Express— one of his best wishers—will gladly be one of those to celebrate with him his jubilee. The New York Her ltd says that the Quean of ■ Spain has agents here, who have command of two millions of dollars, to be invested in this country, s The same paper states that most of the crowned ! heads of Europe are doing an active business in > the way of investments in the United States. Louis Phii.lippe had large possessions in our Re public, and Louis Napoleon lias sent out from ‘ three to five millions here to be invested by his agents. It is said that the greatest operators in this way are the petty princes of Germany, whose investments in American securities, amount, it is believed, to fully fifty million of dollars. Hon. J. Glaocy Jones, Minister to Austria. The Washington bo fan, of Oct. 21st, confirms the previous announcement from Harrisburg, that the mission to Austria had been conferred on Mr. Jones. The Union says : “ It affords us great pleasure to announce that the appointment of Hon. J. Glancy Jones, of Penn sylvania, ns Minister to Austria, which w as volun tarily tendered to him by the President, has been adfcepted by that gentleman. The faithfulness and . ability of his whole course in Congress as a na tional Democrat, have been recognised and en dorsed by the country. As chairman of the com mittee of ways and means in the House of Repre sentatives—the most important position in that body—he was eminently successful. His persua , sive manners and his admitted knowledge of finan cial questions extended his influence among the members of all parties, who placed full reliance on his statements. Should tue tariff question be before Congress at the next session, his loss will be severely felt. But bis appointment to Austria was eminently (it to be made, and we are glad that he has accepted it.” (COMMUNICATED.; An Enigma. I am composed of twenty-five letters.

S WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER The Fair in Atlauia. We hare failed to report any of the proceedings going on at the Fair, in consequence of not seeing any of the Atlanta papers of This week, until the Intelligencer, of Friday morning came to hand. We copy the following from that issue: , The crowd in attendance upon the Agricultural . Fair on yesterday, was larger than on any pre vious day. The orator selected to deliver the an nual nddrcss, having failed to attend, Mr. Charles Wallace Howard, of Cass, consented to make a few remarks, lie offered a resolution to the ef fect, “ that a committee he appointed to memor ialise the legislature, to establish an Agricultural ( College, with an experimental Farm attached.” Trie speaker presented, in a very forcible light, the defects in our system of education, as regards that sort of instructicn which qualifies a young man for the practical duties of the agricultural profession. Con. Harrison, of Chatham, remarked that this was a subject in which every man, wo man and child, in the State, had an interest, and propounded that the whole audience should vote on the question. The vote wostaken, and the res olution was unanimously adopted. We omitted to notice that at the organization of tiie Society, preparatory to the transaction of business, on mo tion of Col. Wm. T. Wilson, of Atlanta, Hon. I). W. Lewis, of Hancock, was chosen President of the Society; Gen. Harrison, of Chatham, Ist Vice Presidentand Gov. Joseph E. lirown, ‘2nd Vice President. From the Troy Evening Tuner, Oct. IS. The Morrissey hii«l Ileenan Fight. A considerable number of sporting men left here on Saturday and this morning for Buffalo, and will be followed this afternoon by mote, who lutend to witness the fight. The number of spectators from New York will be much greater than that of those who witnessed the famous “ mill ” between liver and Sullivan—indeed, the interest in the Hash cir cles of the metropolis seems to be greater even than here. A gentleman from New York assures us that “it will he the ugliest party” thut has left that city in a good many years. The amount of money depending upon the re sult is immense. The mania created in anticipa tion of the light exceeds any ever before known, for never before have belligerents been allowed to make their arrangements with so much openness and unreserve—been so lionised by the press, toasted and tedied by inefficient and luvnr-seeking officials, and countenanced by a kind and indul gent public, who are duly proud of all such evidences of our superior civilization, and wouldn’t by any means be guilty of putting a damper upon the refined sport. " We have heard of bets being made as far South as New Orleans. In St. Louis and Chicago there is probably more money at for feit than in Troy. A Spaniard tesidtng in Albany, has induced his father, a sugar planter, to put up two thousand dollars on Morrissey, aguinst a similar sum staked on Ileenan by a Neiv York dry goods merchant. Those who claim to be posted, estimate the amount of bets in this State alone at from two hundred thousand dollars to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Naturally the character of tiie betting varies with locality. Here, it ia one hundred to i from seventy-five to eighty on Morrissey. We . heard of numerous offers of such odds being made f on Saturday night, without any takers. In New . York, on tiie other hand, the same odds are freely t offered on Ileenan. Though both competitors— r ami we are sorry to say it—claim Troy as their 3 home, the light seems to have resolved itself into 3 an issue bctw'een metropolitan ruffianism, personi fied by Ileenan, and provincial bullyism, embo died in Morrissey. f Both men ure (as they say of fat liogs at cattle shows) in prime condition. When Morrissy left here he was somewhat worn. His training had • been pushed to a point beyond his powers of en -1 durance. Some flesh had been taken off that i should have bceu left on. The muscles had been strained so hard, particularly in long walks and exercises with the bells, that they gave out readi ‘ ly. His breathing had become too short, and he i “ winded ”so soon ns to give rise to a rumor that i oue of his lungs was badly affected. But all this, { wo are told, has been overcome. The course pursued at Buffalo has hod the ettectfof restoring ' the impaired energies of the renowned bruiser, i and he is now in better condition todo up a job of scientific mauling than ever before—better even than at the time of his little epiaode-with the de funct tutor of King Kamehameha, of the Sand wich Islands. Ileenan is emphatically a fresh man. He has never endured the pommeling and badgering his opponent has passed through at the hands of Thompson, Sullivan, Poole, and in a thousand and one bur-room encounters. His brawny muscles are firm and tough as sole leather, ilis sledge ' hammer lists present a tine field for the operation of a cold chisel. His lungs are like blacksmith’s bellows in capacity. The first trainer under whose hands he went, came near pushing his regimen too [ far— but Aarou Jones arrived in time to prevent the direful catastrophe, and be has therefore hud no errors of judgment to overcome. The refined aud scholastic Mr. Jones, who is a connoiseur in such matters —and from his early slaughter-house reminiscences, a first class judge of (at cattle— says “he never saw a man in primer trim.” In the matter of condition, therefore, everything is “ slap up to the pewter”—as our merry friends, the sporting men, say. We think that in view of the fact that each party goes into this combat with a full knowledge of risks, we couid bear with the most philosophi cal serenity the intelligence that Mr. Morrissey bad lost an eye, or the nose of Mr. Ileenan had been resolved into the form of a spitted "sprat, by the scientific touches of his adversary. We have no wages to win or lose. We simply reflect public opinion. From this we learn, on the one hand, “that there is no chance whatever for Ileenan; Morrissey will die sooner than be whipped ; the battle wont be a long one; Heenan will be knocked out of time in less than twenty-five roiuutes;” and on the other hand, that “if Ileenan has pluck, which is all he needs, he will whip Morrissey in a very short time; that he is a splendid boxer; that he is us strong us an ox and as spry as a cat; that he hag more science than Tom Hyer ever had, and full as much strength ; that he stands square and solid on his feet, while Morrissey is ‘tangle-leg §'cd.’ Either of these opinions inay be correct. oth of them cannot be. "We do not care which is borne out in tiie result. Frutnthe Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, ltithlnet. The fight is a continuation of the old Tom Hyer and Yankee Sullivan quarrel, out of which lias grown a deal of ill-blood The Benicia Boy is the representatative of American, and Morrissey of t .e foreign fancy. Among the more notorious of the crowd are Lewis Baker, a quiet, gentlemanly appearing fel low, who killed Bill Poole; Bad Cunningham, who did society a similar furor, by killing Pau deen ; Tom Hyer, and in fact all "the great men of the fancy. The light is announced to come off at Long Point, but the general currency given to this in formation, as well Bstbe great distance thither, leads many to suppose that some nearer point will be selected at last. All the airangenients for leav ing arc made in the most open manner, but there is no power conferred on our police by law which can prevent their going. The result ot the fight referred to in the above, we published in onr telegraph column a few days I ago. Both of the parties engaged in it, we were pleased to learn, received a very severe whipping; j each was borne from the scene on a bed, although Lit was decided that Morrissey was the victor. [ ♦ I i New Kino or Corn.— Mr. C. Trump, of Balti- i more county, Maryland, has shown the editor of i the American Farmer a new variety of maize, ] termed “ Bread Corn,” and obtained origina'ly t from .Syria. The Firmer says: t The height of the plant is four feet ten inches i from the roots to the top of the blossom; one foot t four inches from the roots to the foot of ibe ear. s Length of ear eleven inches. In this specimen there are upon the car eight rows of grain, but up- I on some there are fourteen. The grains are of a i peculiar color, being ail of a purple, or purple streaked with white. This is the uniform color of i every ear in the whole crop. The meal is very c white and fine. This variety of corn arrives at c maturity quite early in the season. BY TELEGRAPH.

A deputation from the Atlantic Steam Packet company hud had an interview with Mr. Uatntl , ton, Secretary of the Treasury, ou the subject of , postal subsidies between Galway, New Foundland i and America. Ho stated that the government , viewed, with considerable interest, the new line of steamers between Galway and the British North r American Colonies, by Mr. Lever, and the lmpor , tance they attached to be able to communicate . betweeu London and Washington in six days. The Limerick Chronicle Bays that on the Assem bling of Parliament the government will recom e mend giving to Galway a grant of fifty thousand • t pounds sterling, as the first instalment for the 1 construction of a breakwater, should the commis sioners’ report be favorable. The commissioners , had arrived to commence investigations. , The Doily Sews has a hopeful editorin! article 1 on the Atlantic Cable and thinks it may yet he rendered available. It says that professor’J'ltomp . «on has nearly succeeded in neutralising the es . sects of earth current which become perplexing when the currents through the cable are so weak. ! Professor Hughes has so modified his printing ap . paratus that a current of voltaic electricity, genera ted by u small iton wire being beld in one hand • moistened with water, whileacopper wire of equal size is held in the other, the two wires being uni ted to form a circuit, Is sufficient in intensity to make his machine print an intelligible messuge. ‘•So sensitive is his new instrument that it will still lirint correctly though a current as weak as we tare described is diminished still more in intensi ty by passing through the bodies of four individ uals. With the combined improvements and inven tions of Professors Thompson and Hughes and Mr. Henley, we are not without hope that, as soon as their instruments can be conveyed across the Atlantic, electric communication will bo once more restored. The London Glole discredits the report that Lord Bury goes to Cuuada in connection with the projected federation of the British provinces. ’I he Common Council of London have resedrod to present the freedom of the city, and swords valued at one hundred guineas each, to Lord Clyde and Sir James Outram for their Indian services. A! the weekly meeting of the directors of the Bank of England, an adjournment took place without the anticp&tcd reduction in the rate of discount. The half yearly meeting of the Great Western Railroad Company of Canada bad been held in London. The Directors’ report, which declares a dividend of four per cent., was adopted l>y a small majority, an amendment having been proposed, limiting the dividend to three and a half per cent. A resolution was agreed to, afier strong opposi tion, authorising the Directors to advance one hun dred thousand pounds sterling for the rolling stock of the Detroit and Mtlwaukie railway. At the general conference of railway delegates, in session at London, it was resolved to give per manent organisation to the conference, and to form from it an association to be called the Ruiiway Companies’ Association. The unsatisfactory exhibit of the Western Bank of Glasgow, and an additional call on the share holders, had called forth the bitterest strictures of the press, and the recommendations were that the shareholders be prosecuted. A!> meeting of the stockholders of the Buffalo and £3ke Huron railway, in London, it was stated that the gross revenue of the half year was more than absorbed by the works in progress. From Vic Dally S'twt City Article, Friday Evenin'/. Latent. — Loirlon, October ttb, A. M.— Business throughout the stock exchange remains dull, and there is no general movement in prices. Steadi ness generally prevails, but the late active demand for securities has subsided. The funds closed to day about Hie same as yesterday. Forty thousand pounds sterling was sent into the bank. A* Ham burg the rate of discount has risen to fire percent., owing to the demand for silver for Austria. As the Austrian bank is preparing for a resumption of specie payments, silver must be attracted from all quarters, hence the pressure on change this afternoon. Bills on the continent were in demand and rates slightly less favorable for England were established, as regards Holland, Belgium, Austria and Madrid. The shares of the Atlantic Telegraph Company remain rather fiat, and closed at three hundred | land ninety-four to four hundred and ten pounds • sterling.

Pay- i ments in the Turkish Scrip, amounting in the ag- j gregate to seven hundred thousand pounds ster ling,caused a slight demand for money, but not to an extent to produce any material change in the f current. The dividends will be payable to the ~ public on Wednesday next, and the opinion seems to be that on the following day the bank will no tify to two and a half per cent., instead of adopt ing the more desirable course of allowing their * terms to be contingent from day to day on the t< state of the market. a The liabilities of M.

A Cemetery Without n .Monument. The noblest of cemeteries is the ocean. lln poetry, and ill human language, ever will be un written. its elements of sublimity are subjects of tooling*, not description. Its records, like the re flection mirrored on its waveless bosom, cannot he transferred to paper. Its vastness, its eternal heaving*, its majestic music, in a storm and in its perils, arc tilings which I bud endeavored a thou sand limes to conceive, but, until J was on its mighty bosom, looking out upon its moving mountain waves, feeling that eternity was distant from ine the thickness of a single plar.k, I hud tried in vain to feel and know I lie glories and grandeur of the sea. 1 there first felt what John of f’ututos meant when lie suid of heaven, “ There shall be no more sea." llut there is one element of moral sublimity which impressed my mind, and which I should be pleased if I could transfer, in all its vividness, to the mind of tbe reader. The sea is the largest of cemeteries, and all its slumberers sleep w ithout a monument. All other graveyards, in all lauds, show some symbols of distinction be tween the great and the small, the rich and the poor; but in that ocean cemetery the king and tbe clown, the prince and the peasant, are alike undis tinguished. The same wave rollsover all, the same requiem, by the minstrelsy of ocean, is Bung to their honor. Over their remuins the same storm beats and the same sun shines; and there, un . marked, the weak and lhe powerful, the plujped ; and the unhonored, will sleep on until awakened . by the same trump, the sea will give up its dead. 1 thought of sailing over the slumbering but de • voted Cookmun, who after his brief but brilliant ’ career, perished in the President—over the luugh- I ter-loving Power; who wentdown in the same ill , fated vessel we have passed. In that cemetery sleeps the accomplished and pious Fisher; but , where he and thousands of others of the noble I spirits of earth lie, no one but (Jed knowetb. No . marble rises to point out where th.-ir ashes are gathered, or where the lover of the good and wise can go and shed the tears of sympathy.

I’lav goer* here will remember a drama pro duced at the theatre here last season, entitled “ Beauchamp, or the Kentucky Tragedy.” John Savage, of Washington, recently wrote a tragedy entitled “Sybil,” for Miss Avonia Jones, the plot of which is nearly analogous with that of the play first named. The young tragedienne essayed to piny it in Louisville, Kentucky, and created sn ex citement, of which a correspondent of the Wash ington Union gives the following account: We have had quite a theatrical excitement here, caused by the new play of “ Sybil,” brought out by Miss Avonta Jones, and written, I believe, by Mr. John Savage, now of Washington. There is doubtless an analogy between the incidents of this play and the assassination (in 1520) of Col. Solo man P. Sharpe, by Jeroboam 0. Beauchamp, to avenge a foul wrong done Beauchamp’s wile be fore he married her. But this is only the founda tion of tiie most thrilling drama of our day and time. It so happens, however, that the surviving rela tives of Col. Shurpe nre personal friends of the editor of the Journal here. Jfo sooner did he com pliment the play, as to be performed that night, than there was a sensation. Governor Morehoad telegraphed from Frankfort, to “ stop the represen tation, and aCol. Sharpe, Jr., telegraphed that he would at once leavo for I.onisville to avert this slain on the honor of his family. This was on Thursday, and as it wrs currently reported that there would be nn armed demonstration of oppo sition to the plav, Miss Jonps substituted the “ Bride of Lammermoor.” Tr.e house had been crowded, but halt of the nudienco-had no desire to witness Lucia, and retired. That night, on dit, there was a Conttildt Theatre, l’renticc acting ns mediator, Col. Sharpe demand ing that the {day should be suppressed, and Mrs. Melinda Jones, in her wav, pleading her daugh ter’s right to {day a drama based upon a histori cal event. Moreover, she said that it should be performed on Saturday night, and she was us good ns her word. Os course the announcement created a sensation. Such a packed house was never seen here, and there must have beou some apprehensions behind the scenes, for the stage manager looked as though his last hour had come, and the poor fellow who personated “Col. Sharpe” seemed weak in the knees with fear. Miss Avonia performed her part fuultlessiy, ns if unconscious that there was a sin gle spectator. The play is replete with dramatic etfw, and was well acted, yet there was a dead si lence until Sybil presented a pistol at Col. Sharpe, her seducer, when there arose a yell of “kill himl” “shoot him!” and from thenceforth there was no sympathy for Sharpe. 01 course the play was thus brought before the public, and lias tilled the house night after night, livery incident of the event upon which it is based I has boon rernlled, an edition of the confession of Jeroboam O. Beauchamp (executed for killing Sharpe) lias been sold, and wherever Miss Jones goes henceforlh, the public will insist upon see ing her in Sybil! — Richmond Inepatch. llttiltling nnil Loan Associations.*—Su preme Court Decisions. The Supreme Court of Georgia tins lately deci ded, In the case of Mrs. Cope rs. tbo Savannah Mu tual Loan Association, that the widow’s right to dower out of the property tales precedence of the Association's mortgage. The siune point was de cided here, in the Cole case, by which decisions the securities of Loan Associations are placed in a somewhat critical condition. For example—the widow is entitled to her dower, which ia one-third of the landed property. Secondly, she and bar children are entitled to one year's support out of the remaining two-third*. The mortgaged pro perty is subject to both of these claims, ana in many instances, after they are met, there is noth ing left for the mortgagee! This we understand to be the settled law of the State us interpreted by the highest tribunal of Georgia, and, of course, must he submitted to, until the decision of the Conjt is reversed or the legislature interposes a remedy, which, in this age of “ woman’s rights,” they are not likely to do. Nor do we think tbut they ought to legislate ad versely to the interests'of the widow and the or phan. It will be well, therefore, for the Mutual Loan Associations to understand how precarious are the securities on which they have relied and are still relying, and take prompt measures g> wind up their business. Every member of these Associa tions is interested in the question—not only those who havo not borrowed, but those who have—as ail losses incurred from such a cause, do, to that extent, retard the successful winding up of the Association, and, of coarse, subjects all parties to more or less loss. — Ueorgui Citizen, Oct. 23. Teetotalism is America. —A German writer, M. Grissinger, who has recently visited the United Htatcs, says: “ The temperance mania is most at home in the northern Sta*cs, for the clergy have thoroughly frightened the furmers into it. Thev mean it honestly enough. If you visit one of them, you iiud nothing hut water on the table — water for breakfast, dinner, and supper. After staying a few days and becoming known to the family, the son will tirst take you one side. He will lead you into the stable, and express his opinion that a dram would do no hurt such a cold morning; but you must not say anything to father or mother. After dinner the bouse mother will take you hr the arm and lead you into her sanctua ry, and, behind the clothes press, she will open a secret door, and produce a nice bottle of the real sort, from which she will give you some ‘ stomach drops.’ Nhe thinks, though, the father and son med know nothing of these drops. Last of all, after supper, your host will conduct you into hig study, and from one of his bottles in a medicine chest, will pour vou ont a glass, the best of the thrie; hut you do not drink it ae brandy, but as medicine. He, too, warns you to keep the secret to yourself.” _ # A Lawyer's Storv.— Tom strikes Dick over the shoulder with a rattan as big as .your little finger. A lawyer in bis indictment, would tell yon the story as follows: “And that whereas the said Thomas, at said {dace, on the year and day afore -1 said, in and upon the body of said Richard, against lhe people of the State of Pennsylvania, and their dignity, did make a most violent assault and in flicted a great many and divers blows, kicks, thumps, humps, contusions, gashes,hurts, wounds, damages and injuries, in and upon the head, neck, breast, stomach, hips, kees, shins and heels of said Richard, with divers sticks, canes, poles, clubs, logs of wood, stones, daggers, dirks, swords, pistols, cutlasses, bludgeons, blunderbusses and boarding pikes, then and there held in the hands, fists, claws, and (clutches of him, the said Thomas.” Rcriiy or a Tut s Oentlkxa*.— Perhaps a gen tleman is a rarer gentleman than some of us think for. Which of us can point out many such in his circle—men whose aims are generous, whose truth is constant, and not only constant in its kind, but eievuted in its degree, whose want of meanness makes them simple, who can look the world hon estly in the face with an ecpral manly sympathy for the great and the small? We all know now a . hundred whose coats are very well made, and a score who have excellent manners, and one or two happy beings who are wliat they call in the inner circles, and have shot into the very centre and bull’s eye of fashion, but of gentlemen how many ?
