THE CUTKBEET APPEAL. HOME AFFAIRS Davidson Monthly.— We have received from our talented young townsman Mr. Henry Dodge, the prospectus of the above periodical, lo be ed ‘ I ted and published by the students of Davidson College N, G. The terms are $2.00 per annum, and clubs of six are supplied at SIO.OO am! 12 at SIB,OO. The first number will be issued in January. We Shalt be happy to aid in upholding this meritorious enterprise, and will receive and for ward any subscriptions left at this office. Such enterprises are offtimes the cradles of incipient genius, which afterwards ripens into a full maturity of usefulness. We bid our young friends good speed in their effort. - gratefully' acknowledge the reception of a complimentary ticket to (he Baptist Fair held at Eutaula on the 15th, inst, from the excellent pastor of the church, Rev. B. W. Wharton. The object of the undertaking to supple ment the efforts of the building committee to raise a fund for the completion of their new church. We only regret that this issue of ou r paper comes too late to render the good cause auy service, while obligations of a pressing and peculiar nature prevented our own attendance. That the laudable enterprise in which this worthy pastor and his people are eDgaged may succeed, is onr earnest hope. Personal.—We were pleased to receive a vis it on Tuesday from Judge William Schley, who presides over the Eastern Circuit of Georgia. The Judge, as the successor of the uoble and veteran Fleming had no easy task to perform. His decisions however, and the urbanity and courtesy of bis demeanor, have already disarmed' any quasi opposition wbich might have existed" and he is now equally esteemed as a gentleman and able jurist. Judge Schley has a large interest in the man ufacture of a domestic fertilizer near Savannah, which is rapidly growing in public estimation. A number of out most successful planters have -thoroughly tested and endorse this preparation-' We hope soon to give to the public, full: particu lars relating to the same. By reference to our advertising columns It will bo seen that the Templeton Troupe wilj be at Powell's Hall to-night and to-morrow night, Th pleasure seekers should take notice aud gov ern themselves accordingly.

A Model Parlor Magazine.-- For beauty of typography, artistic engravings, and high-toned literary artioles, together with a large and beau tiful display of tbe Fashions, DemorCst’s Monthly Magazine is certainly unsurpassed. The Janua ry number, just received, in addition to uuusual holiday attractions, has a flue steel Portrait- of both Mr. and Mme. Dumorost. The rich display of novelties offered in Dernorest's Monthly would seem to be enough to secure.a circulation suffi cient to satisfy its publishers, but in addition we see they propose to give a very large and tine engraving to each subscriber, valued at $lO. - The Engraving aloue would make a very ap propriate Holiday or Birthday gift; but when added to the costly Picture the best Parlor Maga. zine is included, to boa monthly reminder of the friendly feelings of the giver, there is certainly uo better way of investing $3. —Address Demor est’s Monthly, 838 Broadway, N.

On the point that the tax is excessive, the court declares that it has no power to restrain the taxing pow as regards the rate. • A canvass of Congress shows that the action towards Georgia will lie with held until after the meeting of the leg islature, when if the negroes are resea ted, the matter will be dropped ; other wise the measures foreshadowed in Car penter’s bill and Morton’s amendment trill be enforced.

Every motive of pride, policy and duty, should impel our citizens to sustain with might and main, Ibis admirable destitution of learning, which dispenses Its blessings 'in our midst. In saying that for excellence of disci pline, and thoroughness of instruction, it is un surpassed by any Seminary in the State, we testify to that we have seen and know. Surely with the aid of a liberal oatsidj pat ronage, Cuthbert can support one female col lege, and make it an honor to the South. We are delighted to state that the activ* and insidious efforts of several individuals du ring the late meeting of Conference, to under mine the popularity of. Andrew "Female Col lege, were completely foiled, and served bu to strengthen its hold upon the affections o' the people. Dp. Hamilton was always on hand, and with doors thrown wide open to all, challenged and invited the most critical examination into the condition and management of his school To sec was to approve. Ilencc the disap pointed and interested malcontents were forced in shame to hide their diminished heads. Even the breath of glander and detraction was re sorted to in tbe hope of compassing the ends of the disaffected. All proved in vain howev er, aod now it only remains for the people of Cuthbert to do their whole duty in the prem ises, by sending in the last one of their daugh ters, and punctually paying for their education, and the continued triumphant success of tbe Institution is beyond a peradveulure. Tiie Georgia Affairs in Washing ton. —Tho <ulk>ck certificates of the Georgia members of the House are sfe'l •before the Conrmnttp'3 on Elections. is understood that the committee will' postpone ttu'ir consideration' until Con gress slip , 1 have acted on the'recrmitnen dations of the.

The repoi t of General Terry is very strong in its statements, and evidently gotten up in co-operation with Govern or Bullock. He represents that there is no safety whatever in most parts of the State for either the lives or prop erty of Republicans, lie says he is fully convinced that it is absolutely es s ntiul to put the State again uilde: military control uutil the Legislature shall have been reorganized on a basis that will give protection to all classes of citizens. General Terry’s report is forwarded to Congress by General Hulleck, but the latter does not concur in its state ments and recommendations. He has recently visited Georgia and examined iuto her condition for himself. Governor Bullock and his man Fri day— Foster Blodgett—are here, origi nating the most radical measures, and by every species of misrepresentation attempting to stir up -the indignation of Congress against Georgia.— Special to the *' avannah Republican.

Congress and Georgia. —The Senate Judiciary Committee, it appears, got over their scruples and reported a bill to reconstruct Georgia yesterday. It provides for a provisional Legislature, purged and with the negroes reseated, until the State is represented in both branches of Congress. Wo still hav<s our doubts whether it will be pressed* through until after the holidays.— Tele graph and Messenger. On consulting the books of tbe Ordinary we find that during the month of November past sixty-two marriage licenses were issued from that office, thirty for whites and thiity-two blacks, showing that tho matrimonial epidemic has been quite fatal in bar city with both classes of our population.

Thrilling and j&omaniic Story- The Paris, correspompat of the New Orleans Tribute relates the following : In the*month of August, 1863, the French ship Adeline Eliza quitted Bor deaux for Hong Kong® A tnorith af terward she was spoken off Cape of Good Hope. She was never heard of again until, a few days since, iter his tory and the history of all her crew .be canie public. A typhoon iu tbe Indian ocean threw her out of her course, dis masted her, broke her rudder, and tossed her toward OceaDica. ' Bud weather lasted thirty days, and when fair .weath er returned, she struck upon a coral reef, and the exhausted crew were scarcely abje>%take refugeiu the boats 11 was a moonless, starless night w hen this accident occurred. They rowed wildly, and thauked God when the breaking day showed them a harbor, sourrounded by a charming landscape. They reached land and laid down to sleep. When they awoke they found themselves bound hand and foot, and surrounded by savages. Their captors pVoved to be cannibals. Eleven of them, their captain included, were slain and eaten. Three others contrived (how, does not appear) to make their escape, but they were mutilated. The one who succeeded in reaching Europe has one arm cut off and one eye torn out. The three reached a ito part of the island, where they found a canoe and embarked in it, preferring the risk of being devoured by sharks.to life cer tainty of being killed aod eaten,by can nibals Fortunately they found them selves in an archipelago; and were able to go easily from one island to another. After wandering for some moving as rapidly as possible away from the cannibals’ home, George Samuzon’s two-companions died ol exhaustion. Be remained alone, mutilated, hope less, upon a frail canoe.

Lie climed a mountain, crossed a desert, fell again into savages! hands, once more escaped from them, fled through the forests; his feet were bitten by venomous insects; at last, Dearer dead than alive, he 'came upon white men. He had been walking three years, and had eroßsed South America on foot. The white men received him kindly, atid did what they could for him. He em barked in a small Portuguese ship and at last reached Europe. His family bad loDg given him up for dead. Our Wareliou.333—Duty of Plan ters, etc- While wandering to and fro in quest of items, we thought of looking. into one of our cotton warehouses, with the hope of finding anew idea to help out a para graph, and we soon saw enough irf the one visited to induce a visit to aU the others. We bad a general idea that cotton was a considerable sort of a thing, which came in and went out of town in a rough and tumble kind of way, atten ded with pretty smart excitement, physi cally and financially, and wo were as pleased as surprised to see how quiet the “elephant" looked on a nearer ap* proach. We did not ask many ques tion-', but kept our/?yes unbatled, and were struck with tho order and regulari ty with which- bale- ester hide isrolksd ip. weighed, marked and numbered, and fi nally deposited in its proper plane, with pretty much the same cine that men of business store away valuable property. On the other hand, it goes out with the same precision to tbe boat or railroad as the.case'-may be. We came away from our survey with two Ideas, which, being too heavy for the cranium of our Local, we proceed to raise the safety valve at once. T'yu first is, that the warehouse men manage the storage Inis int'ss decidedly well. The second is, that the warehouses are just the place for all the cotton 1h the Country. We dime to theiast conclusion by hearing of the numerous fires around about the country ; from the fact that cotton on can with:difficulty be insured, and from tbe conviction that our plan ters can ill afford to ruu the risk of keeping their -cotton at home. We would earnestly advise, from motives of sifety, that all cotton be sent for ward as scion as it is baled, and also tliat it be placed tinder insurance.— We would remind planters of the se rious losses suffered by them, as well, as rdl classes of onr community, in trie burning of uf:insured cotton in the Planters’ Warehouse about four years ago-. The cotton can be easily and cheaply insured in. town, and if a loss should* come, the insurance companies can best afford to lose tho money.--- Being a friend to the planter, the mer chant, 'the warehouse nSeft, as well as the insurance agents, we throw out these suggestibns for What thoy are worth.-*- Col. Eng. or Ye local of the Augusta Ghron icle aud Sentinel gives nfi instance of the strength of prevjndice, which is .deserving bf being reproduced. “On Sunday last,” says ye local, “twenty three colored persons of this city were baptized in the Savannah river. Du ring the performance of the rite a gen tle rain was falling, and the candidates for immersion, as th y were suceesSive jy, presented to the preacher for bap tism, were sheltered under umbrellas borne by some of the “breoeren.” This" struck a friend.of ours as being some what novel, in as much as they were so soon to be thoroughly, saturated with the element. To solve the problem he queried a saintly colored sister as to why the umbrellas were used, and re ceived in reply : “Coz, we don’t b lieb in sprinklin’.”' Our friend asked no fur ther questions ” esterday evening there were at our wharves the largest, number of vessels'of all descriptions that have be fore been reported at any <jjte tim% in our port during the season--a total of eighty-nine vessels loaded, discharging and waiting Os this large number six iwere steamships, (five American and one Brittish) with an aggregate tonnage of 17,015 tons; twenty two ships height American and fourteen foreign) with-an aggregato- tonnage of 20,060 tons; twen ty barks (nine’ American and eleven for eign) with an aggregate tonuagepf 11, 915 tons; twelve brigs (nine American and three foreign) with an aggregate tonnage* of 3,252 tons.*; twbntyMiine gate of 44,491 tons, winch is a very good exponent of the growing commer cial importance of •Sa v arm ah, — Advertis er. - - 7, ’ (Due'-tof '-our Doctors , give the following prescription to a rick lady a few days since : “Anew bonnet, a sijk dress, and a pair of gaiter boots*.” The lady recovered immediately.

Ti|e Senate Judiciary Committee had up tne Geogia case to day, but came to no conclusion. .The committee fiud a good deal of difficulty in the matter of setting aside the act of Legislation which have intervened since tire State was formally admitted to Congress.— This would have to- be done, it is thought', in carrying out the suggestions of the President’s message relative to Georgia.— y. Y. Herald. Moreover, there is outside clamor and alarilt. The business ahd financial men of the North don’t like this high handed dealing with a State which is contrib’utiag so much to Northern trade and national recuperation. They say we are* industrious and pay our debts, and those tales about terrorism and dis order are contradicted by their ovVn ad vices, and are wholly inconsistent with the industrial condition of Georgia, as they know it to be. So that, after ali, it is possible sufficient time may elapse for the Legislature to meet and show its band"before Congress comes down on Georgia. Now these are the ideas of the situa tion of Georgia, in Washington, as we are able to obtain them from correspon dence. These are tbo ideas of the dan ger of Congressional interference and ith practical results upon the interests of tho State, which are current among our friends in that quarter. A'review of them will suggest* the whuie argument as to tbe course the Legislature of Georgia ought to pursue at once, if they have the opportunity, ffcme of the Democratic papers in this State are saying that they prefer Cbn groseiotiufl interference rather than the Legislature should attempt to conciliate Congress by reseating the negro. We have only to conVider what must inevita bly follow Congressional interference to be amazed beyond expression at such a preference ; but it is one in which the Worst enemies of Georgia will go with them heart and hand ! Tho case, indeed, lies in a nut-shell.— If Georgia reseat ibese negroes, (Con gross accented the act,) Georgia then escaped alt the hard conditions of the punitive legislation now proposed and certain to be inflicted in case of otfr re fusal. But if Congress reseats these ne groes, she does it with the application of the - test oath purges— with the annul ling of all previous political legislation —with the negro mjltia bill—and With all the provisions -for compelling submis sion to hostile legislation 'from an unwil ling people. In the other case the peo ple will still hold some control of their State. In the other, it will be turned over entirely to the wretched faction win* are trying to put it it! their pockets. It i5 impossible that a sensible people should hesitate one moment which of the two alternatives to choose. It has been urged that if you reseat the negroes the fifteenth amendment will pass. That is not so certain; but if tbo negroes are not reseated by Geor gia the passage of the.fifteenth amend ment is sure beyond contingency. So, also, Is the accomplishment of every ill which can be possibly apprehend from tho reseating of the negroes by the Legislature, and much more besides.— Under these circumstances there ought to be no reasonabl doubt of what should be the demands of a sound and safe statesmanship in this critical condition of our affairs— Telegraph & Messenger. Marriage Contracts. Judge Barnard’s dicision in the Bis sell case, that the acknowledgment of a woman as a wife Was a valid marriage contract, has called forth the following interesting facts : Il> Pennsylvania any kind of a con tract to live together between man and wife has been hold to constitute a. -viffid marriage. The same law has always prevailed in Scotland; but not in Eng land r.r prelaw*, ft is, however, a singu lar fact that, although in England mar riage is celebrated as a civil the question has long remained undeci ded. Are the ceremonies and forms, or ony of them which are indicated by law or are customarily used for the solemni zation of marriage indespensablc, is the rifere consent tho parties sufficient !' That precise question came belore the Court of the Queen’s Bench iq Ireland, npo.na trial for bigamy, where the defen dWfc was found guilty ; and then the first of' the marriages not having been solemn ized according to the direction, if hit requirement of law, the question arose w hether it was so complete and perfect to make the crime of bigamy possible. The four judges of tho Court wefe equally divided, but the case was ap pealed to the House of Lords, before whom the question of the validity of the marriage by mere consent was fully argued by the ablest counsel in Eng land, and the six law peers gave their j opinions at great length. Strange to say there was an equal division among them also—-Lords Brougham, Denman and Campbell being in favor of the va -iidity, and. Lords Lvndhurst, Gotten ham and Abingcr.against it. Thus, as the House Lords caifve to no conclu sion, the judgment of the Irish Court of Queen's Bench was not reversed, and the defendant was sentenced according ly. About the same time the same question came before the United States Supreme Court, and another curious coincidence occurred. Chief Justice Taney, in deciding thb c3se (on other grounds) said : “Upon this the Court is equally divided, and no opinion can be given.” Chancellor Eeht, i?i the latest edition of his Commentaries* left the question in absolute uncertainty. In Massachusetts, the Supreme Court has unequivocally declared marriages by consent or contracts only, illegal and invalid. In Maryland, the rite of mar riage is required to be celebrated by ministers of the Gospel, except among Quakers and persons preferring the" Quaker ceremony, and the people are also prohibited from marrying without a license issued by the Clerk of the Court, or by three publications of the bans in church, unless the Quaker cere> mony is used, in which cases certificates of their agreement, attested by twelve witnesses, have to be signed and record ed. Our own legislation, like that of some other States, has thus clearly de fiued what constitutes a valid marriage! At she same tijjpe, the fact of two persons living together as husband and wife, and acknowledging themselves id be such, will probably, in the absence of record or other positive evidence to the cdfitrary, be received by tbe Courts as proof of their marriage. ; and, if we mistake not, there have been some de cisions on this basis, especially in cases arising as to .heirs of such parties.—-£x j 'hang:. g A cautious itemize! tells what is the matter with a noted lady in the fol lowing term : “The Princess de Metter nich is to retire from society for a little while, and is buying lots of edgings, in sertions, muslins, and so on, w hich she is making up into little garments too large f«>r a doll, and too small lor her ' self.”, - ; " : ML Plymouth Church pays $7,000 ! for music and $12,500 for Beeohcc Tiie Great Pictorial Annual.

Extraordinary Story. —A most re markable case of consanguineous affec tion and sympathy is that of a father and son living jn the adjoining county of Fleming, Ky. The father is about forty-five years of age, and the eon is not yet twenty. When one has any oo.nplaiut, the other- is similarly . affec ted. “If tiie father has the headache, the son has ft at the same time ; if one suffers with the toothache, the other also suffers with-it; when one gets a cold, the other gets it also ; and so it goes on through all the catalogue of. ordinary complaints. But yet more remarkable still is the similarity of their appetites, temperaments and general actions.— What one likes and eato, the othdr likes and eats; and what one dislikes and won’t eat, the other dislikes and won’t eat. If one becomes an-gry, or gloomy, or happy, to the same degree and at the same time is the other angry, or gloomy, or happy. They sneeze at the same time, sleep at the same time and the same number of hours, and, the most remakable of all, they dream at the same time, and the dream of one is the saihe as that of the other.
