AN ORIGINAL LOVE STORY. He struggled to kiss her. She struggled the same To prevent him so bold and undaunted ; Hut as smitten by lightning he heard her exclaim, “ Avaunt sir!” and oft'he avaunted. But when he returned, with tin* tiendishcst laugh, Showing clearly that he w as utlrouted. And threatened by main force to carry her off. She cried “ Don’t!” and the poor fellow don'ted.

We are indebted to Peterson Thwcatt.

This abstract is contained in four tables, marked A. I>.

The preparation of surh an abstract requires much time, patience, industry ami intelligence, and much credit is due to Mr. Thwcatt. for the manner in which he has performed thu -eh-imposed task, for it is not a part of his official duty .

REPORT OF THE MOUNT VERNON ASSOCIATION, FOR SEPTEMBER, 1857. In presenting the report of the Association • for the month of Septeinlwr, there is but little of actual vii’ort to be added to that which has Itevli already repoltv<l. The absence from home of nearly all who haw been earnestly engaged in the advance ment o; the cause, ami the consequent impos sibility oi extraordinary or concerted effort among the friends of the Association, are suf ficient to t xplain this apparent inaction. \\ ilii 1 ii< disadvantages, however, there is a brightening prospect ahead, and the strong est ground for believing that a new ami fervent interest is being aroused throughout all the Southern States, which must speedily eml in the consummation of the purposes of the As sociation. PiitHxylranw.— Assurances have been re ceived from Phila«klphi.-L that an interest is manifcste'l in that city by some of her most distinguidied citizens, whose co-operation in aid of purcha>ing Mount Vernon can be relied upon. North t uroliua.— There are cheering re turns from the old North State. From ten counties the sum of $2,436 56 has been report ed. Efforts will be renewed to canvass every county ; and if the friends of the Association exhibit hereafter the SiUiic spirit they have al ready manifested, a noble addition to the filial may be expected. South Carolina, — Charleston has added to her already liberal contributions. $306 Os which there were received from Irish Volunteers, commanded by Captain Magrath. 101 This is the third Military Company in Charleston that has responded to the call of patriotism.

Madame Lc \ci t, of Mobile, a lady 1 whose genius and social accomplishments have ■ made her name familiar on both sides of the Atlantic, is devoting herself to the cause, ami under such auspices, with the eloquent Yancey in the lead, there cannot be such a word a* Madame Lc Vert has determined to contrib ute a per «village of the sale of her work, ■"Sou venir-* of Travel,” to thu Mount Vernon fund, a fact whii h the womanly delicacy of her na iuru prevented her from making known, but which ha* transpired through the intervention of hurfriemls, who desired the public benefit of her example. Mr. Evuiutt has accepted an invitation to de liver his address in November, during the State Agricultural Fair at Montgomery, and also at Mobile. The Association acknowledges through Mrs. Eve. of Augusta, Ga., a contribution from the La<Hus of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, of one hun dred dollar*.

An opportunity will thus l»e given totbecit ' izciis of the State to hear this matchless ora- I t<»r and patriot, and it is confidently hojied that they will embrace it, and by the munificence • of their offering, secure Mount Vernon, ami place Virginia w here she should ever be. fore- ' most in all that is noble, generous and patri ’ otic. The time for a general and united action ha* • come, ami the evidences are that on the 22ud I February next, Mount Vernon will be trans* • ferred to the charge of Virginia. It only re -1 quires a little effort, a little exercise of self-de nial, presentation of the object* and claims of the Association, to carry them out L speedily and successfully. • In every county of every State, there arc men and women, who are willing and anxious to add their amount of labor and money to the cause, and who are deterred from manifesting their interest by fear of failure or indisposi tion to take part in any public proceeding. Os failure there need be no fear. The accom plishment of the purposes ofthe Association is inevitable, and the only question is one of time. Long ago the tomb of Washington should have been a national shrine, and longer delay in its purchase would cast a deep and lasting stigma upon our day and generation. Let those who have heretofore withheld their contributions, ami been idler*in the cause, come forward now and help the Association to complete, at an uarly day, its holy and patriotic labor*. All that is asked is, that the people of thu kind will carry out their own wishes, and do what they themselves desire. If this wers done. Mount Vernon could be purdias<*<i at once. H’S AN L. PELLET. Cor. Scc’y Mt. Vernon A*s’n. Richmoml. Sept. 2K 1*57. ADVICE TO THE COTTON PLANTER. The last number of the “Cotton Planter” says of the times that be. as follow s : “This commercial difficulty, in the produc tion of which you have had no agency what ever, has not only in a few w eek’s time redm - ed the price of your cotton from 16 cents to 6 or 8 cents cents per pound, but it has forced the banks of the w hole country to suspend spe cie payments, ami if forced into market in any great quantity, could not be sold at any price. There has been doubtless at the North ami North-w est, w here this thing had its origin, just cause for it. among the fancy sto< k-job bersand wildland sjieculators ; but here at the South there has been no legitimate cause for such overwhelming disaster in the commercial affairs of the country. With us. in the plant ation States, it is the result entirely of a lossof confidence, and our Banks have therefore acted wisely in the policy of a general suspension— not that any right minded num could for a mo ment justify bank suspension in the abstract. — j Wlrnt then is the propur policy for you to pur sue. w ith regard to your cotton, which is an ab solute nereMity for the well doing of all thu in dustrial pursuits of the civilized world Mani festly to fomptml its further sale for the present. It is worth, as shown by the Livurp<M»l quota tions. a price, in money, that w ill c<»nq»ensatc you handsomely for the labor and painstaking cxpcmleil in its pnaluction and preparation for market. Withhold it then, every bale, from sale tor 60 days or less perhaps, ami it must necessarily command it* proper valuation in money, in the markets of the country. This is all you w ant, its fair and proper value in mo ney—this is but your right and nothing less ; if you w ill, you may have it. But you must exercise, as planters, a community of action, uniform, prompt, energetic and <ktermim*<l, without fear or faltering—because you have nought to fear. Your cotton is. as ln*fore said, an absolute necessity, not merely affording the raw material for manufacturers, or the fabric for the necessary wear of civilization, but the daily bread of millions is alone dependent on the spec<ly going forward of your cotton. Be firm then ; you have but to make a manly .stand and demand a fair price for your cotton t » get it. I shall not presume to dictate to you w hat w e w ould a*k in so many cents per pound, but this 1 tell you, the Liverpool quotation* to-day (and they are irant to rate hm. eMprrially irhen the >v'ale oj prietn ntuod udrtrMt to mt.') war rant 14 to 15 cents in our seaport market* Stand then square up to your interest now. a< true men and wise men. and by the first day of January all w ill be right again—the market ac tive and the price fully remunerative.” RAILROAD DEBTS.

We see it stated in the Greenville “Patriot,” that this distinguished gentleman, recently elected united United States Senator from Ten nessee, w as. 30 years ago, a journeyman tailor, at Laurens Court House, in this State, ami. at 18 years of age, could neither read nor write. During bis sojourn at Laurciisville, a* the Pa triot says, Mr. Johnson tells it himself, be be came enamoured of a ilamsel of that region, and a victim of the tender passion. The feel ing was reciprocal, but mama, a dameof strong I will and towering temper, repulsed with heart less abuse Johnson's petition and prayer for the daughter's hand. “You tripling, worth less vagabond.” said the pugnacious mother, “do you suppose I am going to let my daugh ter marry a w andering journeyman tailor f I know w hat you w ant—you arc too lazy to work and you want my property.” The old lady had four children ami three negroes. With disap[»ointed ami withered affections, ■lohnson. on foot, travelled to Greenville, Ten nessee. where he opone<l a tailor's shop and joined a debating society. In a few years he rose to a seat in the Legislature, and then to the position of Representative in Congress, w hich |M»*t he occupied for some time. Not long smec he filled the (iubernatorial chair of I Tenn essee, and has recently been elected Unit ed Slates Senator.

NOTICES OF THE PRESB We copy from our exchanges the following , comments: The “State Press.”.—Our new cotempora •ry came to hand J Ast Thursday morning. Il style of typography is unexceptionable, the se lection judicious, and the editorial fluent, grace ful ami pointed. The political press in Ma con now stands numencally nt a counter balance, and besides these tour political papers, the Teiugraph office itself semis forth four oth er serials—so that Macon is well represented in pcrioflicals.

It is c«litu<l by E. U. A. M. Row land, is a large ami handsome sheet, well printed, ami conduct ed—we Would say judging from the number before us—w ith commendable spirit and ability. It is understood that the Press is to he the organ of one side of a new order of political alignment that is likely to obtain in our State, and at an early day. We have recci veil this suggestion from Democrats themselves, and the fact of its establishment at Ma<*on, where the Democratic party has already an energetic ami efficient newspaper representative, would seem to give assunuicv on this biibject. Some thing is to be dime that could not be accom plished through the Telegraph, the present or gan of the Democracy ; hence the propriety and necessity of a new paper. The Press bills fair to be thoroughly, if not ultra Sonthern Rights in its political sentiments ami policy as a few extracts will indicate. ♦*♦♦* * * * ♦ We have devote<l so much of onr spare to the Press from the fact that it is not the mere . mouth piece of any particular individual, but the representative of a political line, ami as such, destined to art a prominent part in the future politics of our State.— Sar.

It is needless for us to say anything as to the <-ap:i< ity of John Mitchell for the business in which he has engaged, his past efforts having justly earned for him h high position a* a w riter of great force am I brilliancy. Os Mr. Rowland, we have already spoken in a previous notice, and the cuntents of the first number of the ! “State Press” more than warrant all we might say in his behalf. The |M>liticsof both papers are of the “South ern Rights” school, as may lie seen by an extract from tlie “ State Press” which defines the po- , sition of both. Wu are more than rejoiced to welcome into the ranks of the fraternity, two such papers as the “Southern Citizen” ami “State Press.” and hope they will meet the most liberal encourage ment and support from the people of the re spective States in which thuy are published, and from the whole South.—•**//'. tieuryian, ’The "State Press.”—This is the title of a Hew Democratic pafMT just started at Macon, tin* first number of which is before us.

THE STOCK OF COTTON IN LIVERPOOL From the circular of Messrs. Herman, (’ox A (’<».. dated at Liverpool. (Ictober 9th, the Sa vannah Republican learns that the stock of all kinds of American Cotton on hand that day was 170.340 bales. The spinners may have had fifty thousand more, and the export* from all United Status ports from September Ist to the 20th inst.. was 53.114 hales. Some of thu shipments since Ist Suptemlier may be in cluded in the stock on hand, but not enough to make any material difference. This stiwk cannot be increased by shipments from here under six weeks, and the stock thuy now have on hand may be estimated at 278,454 bale*, for eight w ecks consumption. Wu say eight weeks, a* it is fair to suppose all our present shipments w ill be there in that time. We learn from the same circular that the forty weeks ending the Bth inst., 1,151,550 bales had been consumed, an average of 28.788 bales a week, which in eight weeks would amount to 230,300 bales, leaving a stock on hand in Liverpool, on the 4th of lleeembcr, of 48.000 bales—that is. provided thu spinners have the 50,000 bales allowed them. UNITED STATES TREASURER S STATEMENT. According to the Treasurer's statement, the amount credited to thu Treasury of thu United Status, in the hands of thu assistant treasurer* and designated depositaries, ami in the mint and branches, by returns received to the 19th instant, and the amount at that date subject to draft, is a* follow s : Amount In different depositaries - • $13,.’»23,945 50 Drafts drawn but not paid - - - 2,H91,559 61 Amount subject to draft - • 10,632,555 S 9 Keduction from last week • ... 1,620,979 12 Amount of receipt* 443,.‘t30 34 Draft* returned paid • ... 1,594,022 25 Draft* i**ued 2,069,559 46 Amount in the I’. S. Treasury Washing- ton, D. C. 366,86* 5* Transfers ordered to Washington - - 515,001 00 The rci-eipts into thu Treasury during thu last week w ere but little over S4OO 000. The great decrease is owing mainly to the *i:.Ml ’•»»». portations consequent u|mhi the financial .*r*.-is, and to the limited sale of public lands owing to thu same cause. NATIONAL BANK. The National Intelligencer continues its ex ploration of the causes of the financial evils afflicting our country, finds them to lie in fm-t that “our currency” “ Ims j>eri*hed.” *»»»d at the end of a two-column-and-a-half editorial, says that “a national Bank would afford the speediest, surest, safest, ami wisest remedy.” Wu cannot |»ossibly agree w ith our eotem porary. says the Boston Post, in the idea that ••our currency” “has purishuil.” Our legal constitutional currency, we suppose, is our hard money. *• No state shall make anything but gobi and silver coin a tender in payment of debts,” the Constitution says. This sort of currency has not puii*hcd’—it still lives, iloing it* work nobly, amidst the w reck of paper is sues and the crash of expanded cru<!it. Let us see the extent of the damage before we venture t<n> confidently on the work of re form. Let us wait. A woman's life w as curiously presurv<*d by her husbaml. in Staffordshire latidy, by the process of transfusion. She lay at the ]M»iut of death, w hen. as a hist resource, a vein w asoiien ud in her arm. and one in the arm of her hus band. ami as the blood flowed from the latter, it was transmitted by suitable apparatus in the veins of the wife. After seventeen ounces had been thus injected, the pulse became percepti ble, and the colorless lips reddened, the glassy eye brightened, and she thankfully said. “I am better.' The case ha* progressed very favora bly, ami the woman is recovering. Homebody in the Boston Post says that times are improving, and men are getting on their leg* again, having given up carriages and taken to w alking. A Recbtpt worth One Thousand Dollars —Take one pound of soda, and a half pound of unslacked lin?e, put them in a gallon of wa- i ter. and let them boil twenty minutes; let it ' stand till cool ; then drain off, and put in a I stone jug or jar. Soak your dirty clothes over • night, or until they are wet through : then ring i ' them out and rub on plenty of soad, and in one 1 boiler of clothes well covered with w aler, add ; one tuaspoonfid of the washing fluid. Boil i ' tijf an hour briskly, then wash them tlior onghly through one suds, ami rince through i two w aters, nm! j our <4otlies w ill look butter than the old way' of wojiiiig twice before boiling. This receipt is invaluable, and every poor tired woman should try it. With a pa tent tub to do the little rubbing, the washer woman might take the last novel and compose herself on the lounge, mid let the washing do * itself. • ROBEHT FINDLAY, SR., JAMES N.

I PROPOSE publishing in the city of Macon n ! newspaper bearing the above title,’the first num- J her of which will tie issued as early us practicable in , October (1*57 >. For the present it will be a weekly |>aper, but will be converted into a daily or tri-wcek y as soon a* the encouragement warrant* it. Believing that Macon, m view of it* increasing bu- ' nines** and its central location w ith Railroads radia ting in every direction, is a suitable point for estab- 1 fishing a new paper, I embark in this enterprise with | every confidence of success, and will strive by mak ing " Tht State Peegn" worthy of patronage, to secure for it both a local support and a general circulation. And in order to accomplish this object no effort will • be spared to render it in all respect* a valuable Fami ly Journal—complete in its news, literary and politi cal departments—useful and interesting alike to the Planter, the .Merchant, the .Mechanic and all other classes of our population a paper thoroughly identi- ' tied with whatever concerns the weal or woe of (Jeor- ! gia. and one which I hope to make acceptable tu the citizen* of the State. In polities The State /*/-<>« will belong to the South- • ern Hights Democratic sclihool. While I am in fa- i vor of the preservation of the t'nion on the basis of 1 the Constitution, a* a Southerner by birth and edu- 1 • cation, I naturally consider the rights, the interests, ! and the honor ofthe South as paramount to all other considerations. Hence in the management of the ' paj»er mv rnotto will Im* “ Equality in th* Tnion or ’ Independenee out of it.” But, in my humble judg- I ment, then* is but one effectual means of preserving the I*nion consistently w ith the constitutional rights of the South, and therefore I will zealously advocate j > the policy and principles of that good old f>cin<»cratic , party which ha* been our only anchor of safety during the past, and now stands our only hope for the fu ture. 1 The State Press will Im* printed with new type on J a large sheet.
