Scientific) Expedition to Florida.
We understand that the Lyceu:n of
Natural Histoiy in Williams College pros
potes to undertake nn expedition to the
western coast of Forida, for the purpose
o! studying the natural history of the
country, and of making collections of
shell*, botanical and ornithological speci
mens, &c. It is intended to chatter a
schooner having accommodations lor a
bout twenty peisons, to be composed in i
part ol members of the society, and thu !
icmniiider men who are engaged in sci
entitle investigation in the country, and
to sail troin this city in March, to be ab-1
sent about two months. Such an .expe
dition as this cannot fail to result in both
pleasures and profit to those interested in
the advancement ol natural science.
The cost of the schooner, manned and
provisioned, will be $ 1000 • this sum u
divided into shares ot SSO each, and it 1
expected that those who engage in the
expedition will at least be partly repaid
bv the fine collection of specimens which
will be allotted to each, after a set has
been taken for the college cabinet. The
society has already undertaken no less
than llnee expedi ions—two to Nova Sco
tia and one to Newfoundland—all of
which resulted well and attracted
little notice, and we do not doubt that
this will be equally profitable in its ie
•tilts.
l’ersnns interested in this exursion,
and who desire to increase their cabinets
can make further inquiries or send remit
tance* to Pi of. Albert Hopkins, of Willi

Cost of English Papers. —The Lon
don newsmen lurnish the Times or Post
the dav of publication for $5,75 a quar
ter. For ltie Herald $C> 50 a quarter is
charged. The second edition of the Lou
tl'tt Times, Sun, Globe or Standard, is
furnished at $7,50 a quarter, or S3O a
year. Copies ot the Times one day old
ate furnished at $4 a quarter, so that the
diff-rence in the cost in England between
a paper nl the latest edition on the day
ot publication, or the day next succeding,
is equal to the subscription ptice of the
largest commetcial newspaper of the Uni
ter’ States. A file ol the London Times
taken in this country costs about $52 a
year, or neatly seventeen cents for each
copy lor the paper. The English papers
are conducted on the cash system exclu
sively. They have no subscribers, but
are furnished to newsmen by the ream,

Daniel, of Virginia, Wayne, of Georgia,
Catron, ol Tennessee ; Nelson, of New

that Congress has no power over .lie ques

that the Missouri Compromise is uncon

Judges McL* an of Ohio, and Curtis of
Massachusetts, held that Congress has |
power over the question of Slavery in the 1

It will be seen by reference to our ad
vertising columns, that we this week
commence the publication of the Sheriff
Sales of this County. Although we are
not remunerated for publishing them, we
do so for the benefit of our subscribers
who reside in the county. We have so
licited them of our Sheriff, without sues
eess. What his reasons are for giving
his patronage to a paper published sixty
miles from his office, when there is one
j published within one hundred yards of
j his door, wo cannot at present tell. We
know that a majority of the citizens of
Randolph prefer having such matters
published in their County paper, instead
of one that takes no interest whatever in
the afuirs of the County, save to reap
the benefits of said advertisements.
These advertisements cost annually be
tween S3OO and SSOO, which are paid for
by the citizens of Randolph county to
build up and enrich a paper published in
Columbus, when there is one published in
their own County, and which amount, il
given to that paper, would he expended
in this community. If our citizens were
benefitted by having said advertisements
published iu the Times & Sentinel, we
would say nothing upon the subject, but as
our terms for publishing them arc the same
as those of said paper, we cannot see
what benefit they derive from having
them published abroad ; for we doubt
! not our circulation in the county is much
larger than that of the Times 8t Sentinel
As our Correspondent in another col
umn remarks, we arc under many obliga
tions to Judge Leonard for his patronage.
We shall continue to publish the Sheriff
Sales, whether we are paid for it or not.
Those of our citizens who have been taking
the Times & Sentinel merely to sec said
advertisements, can now patronize their
local press ; for we assure them that the
Sales will appear regularly every mouth.

Attemit to Assassinate the Kino

on the life of the King of Naples. The
fact has been announced in several tele
graphic despatches one of which appear

but there is no harmony in the subsidiary
facts briefly, recorded by those despatch

there was to he a grand review at Naples!

would bo made in the sense of constitn- j

I ho review did take place as fixed, and
one account states that while the troops
were defiling, a soldier of the 3d battal
lion of Chasseurs rushed from the ranks
and struck the King on his left side, but
that his Majesty was not wounded, and
that the soldier was knocked down and
seized by Colonel Lntonr. A second ac
count states that a soldier fired a carbine
at the King, who was slightly wounded
and that the soldier was killed on the
spot. A3d account is, that the King
received a bayonet wound and was slight

that the bayonet of the soldier struck

Communications.
For the Reporter.
Mr. Editor: Not being in the habit of
writing for newspapers, I feel a delicacy
in making the attempt ; but I hope you
will permit me to intrude my article upon
your patience, feeling some anxiety iu the
subject upon which I write. Being a
regular reader of your paper, I feel a
great anxiety for its prosperity, and also
for the good that may be accomplished
through its establishment and circulation.
It is the first enterprise of the kind in our
county, and seems to be prosecuted with
energy and skill.
To speak of the advantages of a print
ing establishment, is useless ; for all
reading men are posted on this subject.
It is a direct mode of communication to
every man's fireside in the whole county;
it is a great convenience to every citizen,
and brings to it a circulation from abroad
to be at once distributed to the advance
ment of every man’s interest ; and not
withstanding all this, I think it is not
appreciated according to its merits.
I have been looking out with the sharp,
ness of a hawk’s eye, to see the legal mat
ters of onr county published in our coun
ty paper, hat some of the important
matters to be published are not found in
it, and why? Can it he because this
paper opposes our officers politically ? —j
No, this cannot be, for it has nothing to
do with politics. lam an old Jackson

lic officers. They were elected as our
public servants, to do our business to the
interest of our people, and if our Sheriffs
persist in their refusal to let us spe their
advertisements without having to pay £ r
a paper we do not want, I for one will
pay my proportion to have those adver
tisements re-inserted in our comity paper
I am thankful to Judge Lenuard for
his compliance with our wishes and antic-!
ipations, and expect to pay him another !
visit at the ballot box, (provided lie
should wisli it) and of course we must
remember with the same degree of scruti
ny, those who refuse us onr desires—we
must select those who will regard our
interests.
1 have more remarks to make upon
this subject, the charges for publishing, l
&c , but will defer them for the present.,
I do hope those gentlemen, under the!
great responsibilities resting upon them,!
will regard oar claims and grant our {

.Mr Editor— By the first of February
next, our county and village will take
their proper positions iu the .State go on
prospering and to prosper, or sink back
into obscurity and disgrace. Disgrace,
did I say ? Yes, disgrace ; for if we fail
now to secure the advantages of a Road,
how low we will fall in the estimation of
all right thinking men abroad I The Kail
Road is now in our reach—all we have
to do is to extend our hands and grasp
the prize. Will you not do it? Now,
now is the day, now is the hour ; next
month it may be forever too late, and our
beautiful village, blessed with health, with
schools, with colleges, with all fsaveone
thing) that can delight the eye, please the
fancy, elevate the taste, and refine the
mind, be doomed to steady yet sure decay;
and no sound break the repose of our si
lent and deserted streets but tiie scoffs
and sneers of our more prosperous, be
cause more energetic, neighbors.
The Board of Directors met last Wed
nesday in Macon, and they still assure us
that if wo raise the amount required of
us, we shall have the Road. The terms
offered ns are liberal, advantageous and
honorable ; then, why cannot our citi
zens walk up, like men proud of their
county and county site, anxious to further
a cause which will injure none, benefit all,
and determined to advance the interest,
secure the prosperity, and elevate the
character of their section. It is the du
ty, and should be tne pleasure of every
citizen of Randolph, in this age of plenty
and soap, to wash himself clean of all
blame and reproach in the eyes of our
sister towns, who are waiting our actiou
in this mattet. Let not Eufanla say
“Why block ye up the way? You oc
cupy the middle ground, and yet will do
nothing.” Let not Fort Gaines say
“ Why stand yon, laggards, in the way l
Clear the track, and let the engine whis
tle.” No, no—rather let them say with
oue voice, “ Well doue, good and faithful
servant, thou shalt occupy the highest
seat —the seat of honor among the villa
ges of South Western Georgia ; wc will
ihrow our off rings into thy lap, that
thy citizens ntay grow fat npon the good
things of earth ; we will emulate the ex
ample of your philanthropic, energetic
and public spirited citizens.”
Let not Lumpkin step in and snatch
the coveted boon from your lips • let her
not any longer laugh at your poverty and
supineness, but awake, arise from your
lethargy, shake off the dew drops from
your mane, and occupy the position ivlm b
God and your nature designed you to fill
—a position of prosperity, of independ
ence, and of enlightenment.
A few months ago, I was in Lumpkin,
a stranger, and unknown at least to those
present, when the subject of the Road to
j Cuthbert came in the course of the
i conversation ; and could you, ye men of
means of Randolph, have beard bow
slightingly they talked of us—how they
laughed and sneered at the idea of our
getting the Road—how they ridiculed us
for our want of means and public spirit,
inethinks your faces, like mine, would
have reddened, and your ears tingled
with shame and moitifieation, and you
! would have returned home determined to
ido all in your power to prove to the
; world the reverse of their conclusions,
‘aud to humble into the dust thu nrro
iganceand presumption of their boasted
j moneyed power.
I 1 write this in no tiukindiiess to Lmnp
kiti and Stewart county. Many of its
eitizens I highly respect and esteem ; but
for the purpose of arousing our own peo-!
pie to a true sense of their standing
abroad, and of Inducing them, if possible,
to take a higher place among the counties
of Georgia than the one they now occu
py. ’Tis not that I love Lumpkin lees,
hut Cuthbert more.
I have not attempted to prove ;he nu
merous advantages of Rdl Knuds to all
classes of society. ‘1 his tact is too well
established to require the tepet tiou of

been exhausted ; but my appeal is to the
pride and public spirit of our people, hop
ing and believing, that w .tit sufficiently
aroused to the importance and necessi
ty of any work, they h,ve pa! is pirit
enough to attempt, daring enough to en
counter, and untiring energy enough to
over-ride all hindrances iu the way of
ultimate and cortiplete success. Then,
march up boldly to the work, and the
victory shall lie ours. Now, now is the
time —no longer and lay—one more united
effort—a strong pull, a steady pull, and j
a pull altogether, and every obstacle will j

Savannah, June 9th, 185—
Dear : I am well, have a good ap
petite, and am doing my best to eat $2,-
50 worth a day. I reached this place
yesterday morning at 7 o’clock, and will
leave this place for New York in the
steamer Augusta, this evening at 3.
Yesterday it rained nearly all day, and
in fact most of the night before, while I
was on the cars from Macon to this place.
A part of the time, I have felt quite loue
iy aud sad; but this morning the sun
is shining brightly upon the square in
front of me, and upon I’ulaskt Monument,
aud I have cast aside the load that has
oppressed me, and my eyes and soul are
prepared to catch and drink iu all the
beauties of the scene.
Comparatively speaking, I have seen
but little of Savannah ; yet the little I
have seen has impressed me favorably.—
Tis true, in some portions of the city the
houses have rather an old and care worn
expression, as though they were sighing
tor the ‘* good old time” when no palatial
residence towered nigh, to attract the eye
ot the passer-by, and snatch Irons, their
lips the first kiss of the fining sun. Still, I
there are a great many very pretty resi-1
deuces here, built in every style of archi- j
teeture, and some of the mongrel breed,
combining all. Several of the streets
are very broad, having as many as fivti
rows of trees to shade the traveler, and
adding very much to the besnty of thJ
place. But I shall not attempt to
I you a description of all the objects of it
j ‘.erest that have attracted my attentio ‘
and conduced mttch to the pleasure
my sojourn here. * •■
I have been down to the harbor, and “
was surprised to see so many ships,
steamers, boats. &c., at anchor in the
bay. To-day is so fair aud calm, that I
trust we will have a pleasant trip to New
York, and that to-moi row morning I may
be permitted to behold that scene upon
which Poets, Philosophers, Statesmen,
Penny-a-liners, &c. have looked
tured and caught no little inspiration
therefrom—Sun-rise at Sea.
When I commenced, I intended writing
but a line, to inform you of my whereas
bouts aud the state of my health. You
need not expect to hear much from me of
interest or information, as I can only
promise now and then, the diagnosis! of
my digestive organs, and leave your fan
cy to follow me in my devious course over
hill and dale, by the side of rolling
streams and the roar of many waters.
Be true, as I will be, and the light of
hope and joy may yet ehine through the
black clouds of sorrow, hung'in our hea4fl
v eu by the hand of envious fate—ell be
bright once more, and theu “ we may be
happy yet.”
My love to all. Tell to get mj
old marc fat and slick try the time I re
turn, and I’ll bring him something: nice
from the land of stiuwa. t
