NEVER SAY FAIL. who are familiar with Scottish history, will remember the incident which inspired the faltering Bruce to become ; the savior of bis country. Lying in a shed, ; despiring over his fate, he saw a spider striving to reach the ceiling by a slender web. Again and again the resolute insect struggled , up and fell backward. But the ceiling was its desired goal, and it returned each tme with greater vigor to the trial. Obstacles only stim ulated it. and at length it triumphed. The des pairing Bruce made the faithful instinct of the ' spider Ids lesson—it gave him a new inspira tion, and he went forth to beat back Saxon in vaders, to triumph over England, and to be come a hero and a King. It is this spirit ol earnest, hopeful and constant faith that man i w ants in pursuing the object he has set before . him. Ills motto must bo “there is no such word as fail.” Keep pushing—"tis wiser Than sitting aside. And dreaming and sighing, And waiting the tide; In life's earnest battle, They only prevail, Who daily inarch onward, And never say fail. With an eye ever open. A tongue that's not dumb, And a heart that will never To sorrow succumb, You'll battle and conquer. Though thousands assail; How strong and how mighty Who never say tail. i Ahead, then, keep pushing, And elbow your way, Unheeding the envious, All asses that bray ; Al! übstaclos vanish. All enemies quail, la the might of their wisdom, Who never wt) tail. In life's rosy morning. In manliood'- fair pride, Let this i-c your motto Your footsteps to guide; la 'tori:' and in simsliine. Whatever a.'i.il, We ll onward and conquer, . And never say fail 1— Correspondviiec of the Sr.uiK I’ltUhS.

This has bee'i a week to be remembered in the great City nn l State of New York : and not less so by the whole body politic of th. Republic. The telegraph and mails have rl ready given you the figures of the late elec tion. We knew that Black Republicanism ha 1 received its death stroke in this Slate, but were not fully prepared to witness its d—,;*•• and burial in this summary manner. It i. t.» be hoped that thi< success will have its proper influence on the I>e:nocratic musses in the North and West ; indeed it nin.-t and will — mid thoresnlt will be that Black Rep ildiean >*tn and all its various stages and platform, flown to open and avowed Aboiitioni-m, will sink out of sight of the political organizations of the day, and the country will again beat peace within itself. The only fear now is, that the reaction will be so rapid, and the Democratic Party may again become so overpoweringly numer ous in the North, that it may again divide against itself, ami build up such opposing ele ineutathat new Vnn Bnrcnsmay arise to di- . vide the power and votes of the real Democra cy of the country, and the same deplorable re sults may be again seen ; until the “sober se cond thoughts” of the people tench all such leaders that they may triumph for awhile, bill their political downfall is not more certain.— The great and truly Democratic City of New York, is entitled to all the credit of the late victory—she has often divided upon m<n, but her Democracy are ever true upon National issues, and now she has marshalled the State upon the only true line of State and National policy. I repeat, it is only now necessary tokeep the Democratic majorities in this and neighboring States within moderate limits, and Black Re publican Abolitionism will be reduced to such narrow lines that it can have no effect upon the policy or prosperity of the country. Y’ou arc to be congratulated, that you can thus early in the cmaer of the “State Press,'" (destined I trust to be long and eminently pros perous,) enroll the State of New York in the Democratic column, The powerful inriucuw that gave prestige to Fremuntisin —which is now utterly overthrown. By the bye, “John and Jessie” have bad the hick (go<xl or ill as they may think it.) to be in n’ the death cattle of their party In this State—for they both reached this City this w eek- Fremont from the Maripowu of Califor nia—and Jessie fruin France.

It was well they united, as it saved the trouble and expense of two funerals—they are now in a common grave. Excuse iny effort to keep up with the Tele graph, which must ere this have given you all i the details you need for your own comments I upon this momentous victory. I will leave po ' litics to speak from the ballot boxes, and pro . ceed to the topics I intended to mention, when I I said at the opening of this letter, that this has i been a week to be remembered in the City of I New Y’ork. The installation of the New Y’ork Historical ' Society in their chaste, elegant and mostcom t modious Temple in the Second Avenue, now > dedicated for all time to the preservation and 1 alimentation of the precious antiquities and | daily accumulating facts w hich nre to make up I the history of this City, State, and the United ; States, is an event of more than local impor- i I tnnee —it i.- Cosmopolitan am! National, for the I whole Republic can draw freely on its pre- ; I cions and now to be properly preserved stores id' knowledge. The details of this handsome ; nd well arranged building, have been fully ' i given in the city papers—the public interest , in the completion of the building was fully i j shown by the crowds w hich flocked to its por tals, and the rich treat ottered by the high tone : of the addresses of the historian Bancroft—the ’ ■ Rev. Drs. Adams and Bethune, and others,was a feast long to be remembered by all who par took of it. So soon ns they are gathered into : a pamphlet, you shall have a copy. I was particularly 1 struck with the blows, hea vy and well directed, which the Historian lay men and clergy, dealt nt sectionalism and ISlark Republican Abolitionism, and the hearty rounds I of applause which these h its (happily extempo rized.) brought out from the audience ; and it being on the eve of the election, showed more than anything else that 1 have seen how thor oughly the public mind is being cured of its last year's fanaticism. Let me request you to direct your friends of , the South who shall hereafter visit the City of New York, nut to forget to visit the Temple of the New York Historical Society—second av i enue and eleventh street—where in addition to ! the stores of Historic knowledge to lie con i suited, they will have the enjoyment of one of I the very best collection, of pictures in the Unit ed States, including the celebrated series of the "Marell of Empire." by Cole—pictures which would alone give dignity to the proudest I Gallery of Art in Europe. The whole Cata logue is extremely rich and valuable.

I my next 1 propose to write of the “Coop- ’ er Institute,'' now approaching completion, I only one block distant from the Historical So ciety Building, and mid-way between it and the “Astor" and "Mercantile Libraries," in Astor Place. The "Cooper" from its vaatness of design, imposing ascliitecture and central ' position—ns t ■ its immediate literary nelgh b. :r—having become, and destined long to be the very pivot of Art and Literature in this great City. Peter Cooper—the modest, unaffected man ufacturer and merchant, lias reared in the heart of New York, and will finally endow an insti tution to Science and Art. which would embel :«h the reign of a liberal Monarch, and endear his memory to his people. It is to be h iped that the penpie for whom ilie really wealthy men of New Y’ork are do ing so much, notwithstanding the steadily in creasing taxes upon property, and the constant cu’is for charity, to say nothing of the enor mous 10-- - to which al! have had to submit in thia aut amn of 1537, and perhaps still greater ones yet in store for them, will not, by tlie in troduction of Red Republican demonstrations against property, a la Paris- -(of which we Lave seen some attempts this current week,) — thereby shut up the pockets of our men of wealth, le<t what they luivemay be taken from them by force. The ]•resell* pressure upon the laboring classes, is no doubt serious and severe ; and the approach! Uff winter threatens to make it worse; but I am sure the good sense and ev er proi. pt liberality and potent measures of t'uis City, wi 11 so provide fi r all. that now that the mass s have achieved this great Democrat lie victory over polltlcul iiidk all-in. they will know Low to restrain themselves from the ex ' liibition of any passions or influences which shall cause posterity to blush for the people, when the history of the winter of 1857 and 'SB shall lx- gathered into the archives of the New York Historical Society. Apropos of this, the “Herald” of this morning has the follow iugjust paragraph : "Slave Labou and Free.—Here wc have ten* of thousands of workmen thrown out of. employment in tiie North, seeking filial and finding none, and assuaging their wrath in empty threats of violence and rapine; and be neath this outward ebulitlon. we know that there must be vast numbers of families actual ly in want of bread. In the South, on thei on trary, there is nu lack of the necessarie-of life, no starvation, no perceptible want : the laborers under the slave system, areas well ofl’ this winter as they were la«t. In eoptra-ts between the relative merits of the two sys tems, this feature should not be forgotten." Y’onrs Truly, Civia. Tur. Fate of Flirts. —It is very rarely, in deed. that n corilirmed flirt gets married.— Ninety-nine out of every hundred old maids mnv attribute their ancient loneliness to juve nile levity. It i« very certain that few men make a selection from ball rooms or any oth er place of gaiety ; ami as few are influenced by what may be called showing off in the streets, or any other allurements of dress. — Our opinion is. ninety-nine hundredths of all the finery with which women decorate and toad their persons, go for nothing, so far a* husband catching is concerned, Where and •w. then, do men find their wives t In the liet homes of their parent' or guardians—at .e fireside where the domestic graces and feel ings are alone demonstrated.

Editor—l shall not attempt to give you the proceedings of the Legislature during my stay in Milledgeville—for thisyou already have, but a few facts and reflections, which have es caped the notice of the many correspondents of the different newspapers in Georgia. I arrived in Milledgeville, Sunday night, and before sunrise Monday morning some of the candidates for Messenger etc. were knocking ut my room door, mistaking me for a inoin ber of the General Assembly. Their business of course was to secure votes. This gave inc a foretaste of what I was to see. Only a few members of the Legislature, be ing in the city Monday morning, there was not much electioneering in the forenoon of the day, but tins evening trains brought in a consid j crable number of them and “log-rolling" com inenced in good earnest. I never in nil my i life saw as many kind hearted good-natured men. To all appearances, they were all broth ers. A friend of mine suggested the idea, that it was a fine time to o]>en a revival. Tuesday brought on the same scenes only with increased energy and interest. The pros pects of the different candidates changed often tener than the wind. Various combinations were formed on this day, and the elections were governed according ly. Here I will correct a report, I see in some of the papers viz : that some of the successful candidates made no promises prior to their elec tions. This is incorrect, for lam certain that every candidate who was elected,and had any appointing power, made promises of situations before the election on. Wednesday. The scenes witnessed in Milledgeville on these days, were enough to discourage any young man, who has any aspiration to become renowned in the political world. Success, de pends not on merit, but on chance and “mere working" as he would learn by witnessing them. Wednesday morning I visited the Penitenti ary. It has about one houndred and sixty four convicts within its walls, two of whom are women. The larger number ot the con victs seemed to be busily employed. Some were building cars—some were “blacksmith ing,"others shoe-making and the women were sewing. While there I saw the celebrated Dr. Roberts! He has black hair, a large nose, nar row fai’e and brilliant sparkling eyes. His height is about five feet three or four inches ' and he weighs about 135 or 140 pound*. lie is indeed an intelligent man and has but little about his appearance that would Indicate a felon. His medical skill has be-en highly valu able to those, who have been inmates of the hospital this year. The Penitentiary needs r< pairing in nearly every respect* tor as it now stands it is a dis grace to Georgia. Tlw proliabilities arc very strong tliut it will be removed to Stone Moun tain, or some other jHiint, the pres* nt Se**ioi; of the Legislature. I left the gloomy walls of the prison w ith s strong feeling of opposition to that mode ot punishment, for 1 was fully persuaded thut no man. who is imprisoned hero can ever reform, compelled as he', would be to associate with so ; many vagabonds and villian*. Wednesday evening I visited the Lunatic j Asylum. The building is a large and commo- ; dious one, containing one hundred and ninety inmates, w hich is the largest number that can be accommodated at present, but many more can be received when the new portion is com pleted—which cost the State over one hundred and sixty thousand dollars. Many of the inmates are objects of interest. Cue—an old man. who lias not a particle of reason about him, performs on the violin with as much accuracy as the most perfect master, and knows perfectly well when his instrument is “out of tune,” Among the males some are always talking while others swm sad and mel unelioly. The Rinale portion carry with them the dis tinguishing traitjof wou\im-a constant use of the tongue. As 1 entereil their apartment, one of them a young lady about sixteen, burst into tears, but we had not gone fur before her tears were turned into laughter! Another—as long as I could see her, stood perfectly still and seemed to be counting. Others were running about, talking mid seemed much diverted ut a gentleman who was w ith me and was w earing a shawl. One of them told him she thought ladies alone wore shawls, and I must confess, I thought if they did not, they ought to. This building is im ornament to Georgia and is a monument to its projectors more enduring than brass or time-defying marble. It is prop er that this noble State should provide a home for those, wlioby a mysterious Providence are , deprived of reason and left to the mercies of their fellow mon, I would lie glad if I had space, to speak of many subjects of interest about Milledgeville, but I mnst forego the pleasure for the present at least. J. C. W. Maxsiteld, Desoto Parish. La., I November Ist 1857. i Messrs. Editors : —The first number of the Btata Pros* has just reached me.

In the district in which I reside. Col. J. M. Sandidge, I was the Democratic nominee for re-election to ! Congress, and as that party is largely in the majority his election is considered certain.— ' Col. Sandidge is a self-made man. and although in point of talents does not rank with Benja min and many other distinguished Statesmen of the nation, yet he is a man of ability—an honest man, and a faithful and efficient repre sentative. Col. Win. Sparks, a prominent Know Nothing, ran in opposition as the candi date of that party; be canvassed the district, made many flaming speeches which seemed to excite the highest expectations of his friends. I heard him upon occasion and he boasted loud ly that he had always warred it against the Democratic party. What an unenviable em ployment thought I, as I gazed upon the snow flakes that the Autumn of life had sprinkled up on his venerable head. A long life time spent in fighting against those principles that hud given our country such a proud pre-eminence among the nations of the earth! Col. Sparks is, I think —a native Georgian ; at all events he lived many years in Eatonton— was a man of considerable notoriety—and I venture the assertion that every man who has attained the meridian of life and who has re sided in that region of the State any considera ble length of time, as well as hundreds who have removed to other sections of the country, will remember “ Bill Sparks." lie has some highly respectable connexions about Macon. — lie is a very clever man. apart from his Know Nothing proclivity. Our country is fast filling up with substantial citizens from Georgia, Alabama and other States. There is yet room for many more of the same sort. Our planters arc actively en gaged in gathering their crops; an ample sup ply of provisions has been made; the cotton crop is also fine—in fact the complaint most prevalent among us is that the crops—cotton, corn, peas, pumpkins, potatoes Arc., are so abundant as to make it impossible to house them. With many wishes for your prosperity, 1 am vours, A. M. C. A LEITER FROM A WASHINGTONIAN TRAVEL LING IN THE SOOTH Macon, Ga., 1857. My Df.ar C ; I engaged to write you from the South, and I take the earliest opportunity to date my corres|H>tidenee from Middle Geor gia. But I should not fail to drop you a line or two. nt start, us Macon, where 1 w rite, a* it is accounted one of the most beniitiful cities ot the South, and Ini' many objects of interest. It is the sent ufscvetal public institutions, but iias but little trade. Near by the city, on n cumiiinniling piisitiiio. stands Fort Hawkins, a rude woisli n Imilding. which was constructed as a protection iiiraiiist the Indians, fur you must know that Macon was about ill* frontier of Georgia iu 1818. An Indian mound i* in sielit. oil the top of w hich are standing a few tall, melancholy pines. On the hills which surround the city, mid in the beautiful little villa of Viuevllle, w hich adjoin* it, may be seen the evidences of refinement in the handsome residences adorned w ith shrubbery and ever greens, among which the olive and the holly, with its lucid green, are the most common. Many of these residences of men of wealth are admirable., e*] eelallv for their tasteful grounds. But there is the fondness for white paint, which may be observed in all parts of the South, and i for a nondescript architecture, in which all sty les are jumbled, or a plain magnificence studded in rows of pillars and flights of steps, that fre quently give to the Southern villa the singular appearance of an elemosynary institution.— The chief object however, to which the odnii- , ration of the stranger is directed in Macon is the public cemetery, which is compared not extravagantly, in some m ..ts of natural scene, i to Mount Auburn and Greenwood. It is a lovely piece of ground, w ith natural terraces I overhanging the <lcniulgee and the wild glen i that dividesit. The picturesque effect, howev er, is almost entirely destroyed by the thick brushwood, which prevent* the eye from tak ing in the outlines ot the scene. The ground i* covered w ith coppices of oak and pine, and studiously kept in a state of nature. It seems, however, a strange idea to keep thu natural scene concealed by the brushwood which eve- ‘ ry w here intercepts the view. Muy-be it is in tended to be— *• Unadorned, adorned the most”— an .’esthetic fogyisni. en passant, disproved and despised, ut least by the charming ladies of Macon. In writing yon. my dear C.. of the Bouth and its peculiar institution, as I intend. I am sure that I have no prejudice to dispel from your mind on the subject; but as I may here after publish some extracts from the corres pondence, I hope the sketches, which may amuse you. may correct the false views of others, derived, as they chiefly are. from the ■ libels of northern spies, who live or travel here in disguise. Thus I observed lately a com munication in sunn-of the abolition papers pro fessing to have been w ritten by one who has been a resident of Macon for eleven years, to the effect that the people here do not allow northern papers to circulate or bo taken by snbscribers, or even congressional documents to be among them, w hich do not harmonize with their peculiar views. Although this infa mous lilwl is quite as absurd and undeserving of contradiction us the famed Arrowsmith hoax or any of the Sanguinary Crow-bar style of niggcf-tvorship fictions, it deserves notice in one respect. There are a number of Yankee doughfaces in the South who before us are the greatest admirers of the peculiar institution, and, to liuuuyfuggle us, even chime in with the abuse of their own land. There is danger in these men of disguised character, many of whom are doing business in the South. Ibey are not to be trusted ; and while, not satisfied with being tulcnited among u*. they impose on our confidence and hospitality by false profes sions. they take secret opportunities to gratify their real' hatred of us by tampering with the slaves, or by libelling the South under the shelter of anonymous Tetters published in the North. Tiie man who would devise a safe op portunity to publish what he knew to be false and libcfluus of those whose good will he had i won by another lie might, with the same hope of impunity, venture on a grander revenge, and secretly conspire w ith the slave i;t a rebellion. Such a person might lie watched with profit. The writer of the letter from Macon referred to was terreteil out. and his employer, on learning tho but, immediately duebargetj him. This was getting off rather easily, as some time ago a young man was driven out of the same com munity for having made public speeches at the North'for Fremont; while another, who write* abo]i(ipn libels under their noses, is tolerated. » *"'4 ♦*•»»» Edward A. Pollard. THE ORIGIN OF PAPER MONEY The Count de Tendilla, says an exchange, while besieged by the Moors in the fortress of Alhambra, was destitute of gold and silver wherewith to pay his soldiers, who began to murmur, as they had not the means of purchas ing the necessaries of life from the people of , the town. “In this dilemma, (says the histo- I rian) what docs this most sagacious command |er ? He takes a number of little morsels of pa i per. on which he inscribes various sums, large and small, and signs them with bis own hand ' and name. These did he give to the soldiery, lin earnest of their pay. ‘ How,’ you will say, ■ 'are soldiers to be paid with scraps of paper?’ I Even so, and well paid, too, as I will presently I I make manifest, for the good count issued a ! proclamation, ordering the inliab t ints to take these morsels of paper for the l ull amount there on inscribed, promising to redeem them nt a future time with gold and silver. Thus, by subtle and most miraculous alcliemy. did this cavalier turn w orthless paper into precious gold and silver, and make his late impoverished , army abound in money.” The historian adds. “ The ('ount de Tendilla redeemed his premises like a loyal knight; atid this miracle, as itap : peared in the eyes of the worthy Agapida. is the first instance on record of paper money, which h.n since spre.il thrutigiiout t is civiliz edworll.” If the B inkswjre like “the loyal Knight,” Co r.it de Dxitilla, there wo ild be I sjine spark of chivalry in their composition, but they have long since forgotten the duty of redeeming their promises. THE COTTON PLANTERS AND COTTON CROPS Many—yes, most of our planters here, nro determined to hold their cotton back and wait for gold to come from England—as they expect to buy it. But that, in my opinion will be ruinous. In the first place, when the cotton commences to come in, it will bo in sueb ini- 1 mense quantities, that it will be apt to glut | every market. Then again, I do not believe that the bank ers of Europe have any more gold, in propor tion to their circulating medium, than those of America, and if the specie is drawn from them i to buy our cotton it will produce just such a state of affairs on that side of the water as we have now here. And, lastly, if the planters i hold back their cotton, the merchants who have accepted for them must fail, and this w ill only make the ruin and desolation more wide spread and render the chances for a resuscita tion of credit and trade tenfold more hazard ous. Therefore, I am for sending in the cotton, at least till we pay w hat we ow e our merchants; ' and, and if every man will do this, the country may yet be saved—otherwise, 1 look for ’37 i and ’33 again—if not something worse.—A". O. Picayune. A Tiger Hi nt in Loxwin.—A recently im ported tiger was. a week or two since, convey ed in a van from the London doeks t a ware house in Betts street. St. Georges-in-ttie-East, where sunn- laborers proceeded to unload the vehicle. The cage containing the tiger was lowered on to the pavement, ami the next mo ment the animal had broken out of it, bounding into the road. For some distance it proceeded rapidly up the carriage-wav, in a crouching atti tude, until it encountered a little laiy, (eleven years old.) who stood gazing curiously at the animal. It sprang upon him lacerating the back of his head, neck, and arms in a frightful manner. Iu the meantime, some of the men in whose custody the beast had been placed .came up, together w ith Mr. Jararaeli, the pro prietor. who was armed with a crowbar, and who struck repeated blows on the animal's head to compel it to relinquish its hold of the boy. At length he so fur stunned the creature ' us to enable it to be secured. The lioy was ; expected to recover. Another boy was also injured, but not so severely. The tiger was a very large luiimsl. worth about X'2so. and had been purchased by Janiaracb for one of the ' Zoological gardens. It ,ueuis that the animal had become wild from some cause, and forced out the side of the eage with bis forefeet. It is a matter of surprise that the savage beast was so soon captured. Mr. Jamrach acted in a most daring mid doteriniiied luauner, by seiz ing tiie tiger by the head, while the others sc l cured the animal w ith ropes after it hail relin quishud its hold of the boy. It was then drag ' geil into the warehouse yard and placed in a den. w ell secured. The nose of the animal was much bruised and broken by tile bluws inflicted ' on it by Mr. Jamroch, .*Mlt» - - A Man Worried by disown Doo.—On Sun day. about twelve o'clock, Mr. Lyle Brookhov er, of Waynes township. Ohio, while his fami i ly were nt church, took two small boys, his sons and went int<> the woods, accompanied Iby u young dog. When they got to the woods they discovered that an old dog, which had ' been with the family eight or tell y ears, follow- , 'ed them. Mr. B. ordered the dog to go home, and took up a stick to drive him; but when h struck the dog the latter made at hi* throat, but failing to reach it caught his hand ami mangled it badly, while Mr. B. was endeavor ing to choke him eff with the other hand. In • the light the young dog came to the aid of bis master, and the old dog then, fora moment, turn od upon the young one. but came Immediately back upon Mr. B. thus mangling his hands and arms ton horrible degree. Once in the difficul ty Mr. B. escaped from the dog, and tried to climb a tree; but the dog caught him by the leg and pulled him down again, and kept wor- • rying hint as they both worked toward home. • until finally Mr. B. succeeded in climbing up on a high fence beyond thu dog's reach. The dog then wen: home by the road, and B. cross ed the field; but, upon arriving at the house. I the dog met him again. He, however, by closing the yard-gate quickly, escaped almost exhausted into the house. A physician has been closely attending to the case, and reports the patient a* improving.
