See advertisement. THE WEATHER. V e have been apprehensive us reports concerning freshets from various parts of the State. Will our friends and correspondence give us informatidb ? The Keovree Courier (Pickens C. IT.) of the 19th inst.. says : ••Kais.—The frequeut rains are a constant theme of remark. In fact, the tmusmdiy large quantity of rain that has fallen is without a parallel iu our time. < um plumt is being made by the farmers, too, that they are retarded thereby in the preparation of their land for the incoming crop. The weather is mild, urging forth vegetation at an unseasonable period.— The 'oldest inhabitants’ arc prognosticating all sorts of results from these unnsnal phenomena.” YVe copy the above from the Charleston Cou rier, a d have to report in reply to our cotem porary’s enquiries that the weather in this part of the country has been equally ■unseasonable, and there are gloomy forebodings of the next crop. For the hist few days the weather here has been almost as warm and oppressive as mid summer. We are not disposed to “meet trou ble half-way.” but the prospects now are that the abundance of the past season will be more than counterbalanced by tpc shortness of the next. The Slave Trade. At the solicitation of a friend, we copy to day, from yesterday's an aide article on the African Slave Trade, in reply to the ar guments advanced on th<L subject by Capt. Seymour of the New Orleans Ridletin. The article alluded to Is from the pen of a gentleman whose productions have frequently appeared in our columns, in advocacy of the re-opening of the trade.

TACI.ES. Dr. Andrews: The Editor of the New Orleans Bulletin seeks to make the impression that w hat he | said about a moral act of bringing a negro I from Africa to the United States, is to be found i in the extract of the New Orleans Delta. It is not so. The Delta said nothing for ora gainst the moral argiuiwd of bringing a negro from Africa to the United State’fc. He said, in comment on the extract from the Della, Hence the civilizing argument falls to the ground.” — On that sentence my remarks, in conjunction with what followed, were predicated. The idea I sought to combat was this: the exultant feeling of delight, to bo able to meet the argument with the idea of learning among the negroes in Africa, and the crimes consequent upon the purchase of a negro in Asidca, was such as would, (who ever engaged iu the ex ternal trade ot slavery,) by the laws Louisiana, and every Southern State, bring their necks to the halter. The Captain says that his com ments on the extract from the Deita wore ir onical ; that is, he expressed one thing ami meant another. The Captain then blievcs it a moral act to remove a human being from a savage to a civilized state. What has the Edi tor of the N. O. Buletin to do with the laws n Africa, governing her trade —whether it bo in negroes or other property. Have not the ruling powers in Africa as much right to reg ulate their internal trade in negroes as Virgin ia! for the negroes only know servitude iu Af rica as iu Virginia. The slave trade is not the most terrible barrier to civilizaaion in Africa. It is the attempted suppresiou of the slave trade that is th s worst and most terrible bar rier to civilization there; can you through your diamond spectacles penetrate that thought The Messenger no doubt understood your com ment on the extract troin the Delta as an un answerable argument against the civilizing act. Would you, Captain, vote to acquire territory that slavery might be extended, or rather would you not vote against the acquisition of territory that slavery might not be extended! It is only the wounded, animal, Captain, that cringes. ■ It is only the warm tread upon tiiat turns over in the dust. It is seldom an Editor replies to an anonymous corespondent. Truth always cuts deep and bleeds profusely, hence your comment, on what I said. You reply was funny. You are the Falstaft’of the Press lam complimented, for your Addison head condescended to notice a hard pressed corres pondent to the Georgian Citizen, for praise is a passion deeply fixed in the mind of every person, and those who are most affected with it seem to partake of that particle of the divi nity which distinguishes mankind from the in ferior creation. In all candor, Ido not think that you, in your attempt at ridicule, guile ao fortunate as Milton was in describing the variety of passions which arose in our first pa rents after their disobediene. You are about as successful at ridicule as John Randolph was at argument. Ifyour wit equalled your vani ty, one would fancy himself in rhe society of Dr. Johnson, Tristamberges, and John Randolph— realizing all the pleasure such wit and ele gance could impart. The last Messenger has an article headed ‘‘An argument and reply.” “It is one of the leading argument of those who advocate a re-opening of the African slave trade, that if it is right to go to Virginia and buy a negro, it must be equally so to go to Af rica and buy one.” To this the N. O. Bulle tin replies:—‘‘No negro is ever bought in Af rica until lie is kidnapped and stolen; that there is, consequently just the difference be tween buying a negro in Virginia, and obtain ing possession of one in Africa—that there is between buying a heTse and stealing one, after setting fire to the stable and plundering and shooting its owner." Well, Captain, you and the editor of the Messenger must think that our ancestors were the worst of thieves and mnrderers. Is it possible that such men as Holland, Baldwin, Jackson, Rutledge, George M. Troup, and Lowndps would have no dis tinction in a trade so dishonest, and murderous? cut on the contrary all of them said there conld be no dfference between slavery and the African Slave Trade. If what the Capiain states be true, every negro in Vinginia is the product of the theft committed in Africa. If it is wrong to buy the theft in Africa, it is equally wrong to buy the product of that theft in Virginia! The Captain aud Editor of Mes senger's moral sense of right may teach that there is a difference between the theft com mitted in Africa, and the product of that theft in Virginia. That there is a difference be tween the stolen money and the interest on the stolen. A man buys a negro woman in Africa, he carries her to Virginia, she has children ; the Captain goes to Virginia and buys one of this negro woman’s children, —now where is the difference between the Captain and the man who purchases the negro woman in Africa? The man brought the in Africa, and the Captain brought the product of that theft in Virginia. The instincts of the Captain and the Editor of the Messenger may teach that it is wrong to steal the thing, yet it is right to hide, keep and defend the thing stolen. GEORGIA. Arrest. Warren Enlow, the man who stole a horse from Messrs. Bateman <k Hose, of Perry, some time the latter part of the last year, was ar rested in Dale county. Alabama, about a week since, by a Mr. Boothe, and brought back to Houston county, to stand his trial. We happened to come on the stage hist Tuesday morning, in company with Mr. Boothe and his prisoner, from Fort Valley to J’erry, and we were astonished to hear and sec the indifference with winch Endow treated the subject of his arrest and future prospects. Ibis man is, we were informed, illiterate, but lie has a good share of native talent, and com petent to distinguish a hired horse from one of his own, for we heard him say that he swap ped away the hired horse and got one of his own, but says he, “I left the horse where I knew Mr. Bateman could find him.”— Tidaski Tunes. Read an Hour A Dav.—There was a lad who at fourteen, was apprenticed to a soap boiler. One of liis resolutions was to read one hour a day, or at least, nt that rate, nnd lie had an old silver watch, left him by his tin cle, which he timed his rending by. He staid seven years w ith his master, and said when be was twenty-one that he knew ns much as the young sqnire did. Now let us see how much time he had to read in, in seven years, at the rate of one honr a day. It would be twenty- 1 five hundred and fifty-five hours, which, at the rate of eight reading hours per day, would lie equal to 810 days, equal to 45 weeks; equal 1 to 11 months; nearly a year’s reading. That 1 lime spent In treasuring up useful knowledge. ' would pileup a very large store. lam sure it is worth trying for. Try what yon can do.—. ! Ihqrin now.

The reader vv ill find in another column of to-day’s paper, the advertisement of the above mentioned work of art, which has been ex hibitied in all paits ol the United states, and won the highest encomiums from all who have seen it. It is the production of Mr. J. Insco Williams, an artist who stands high in his profession. The following criticism is from the Laiscille Journal, which is reliable 1 authority iu such matters : Bible Panukama.—Persons who bate a love for the beautiful may experience full satisfaction in ; studying tbc diversified beauties of this great paint ing. Tiie moral character of this exhibition has no equal in this or any other country. It attracts at once the wise and good of all denominations; in fact such an exhibition seems necessary to fill the present wants of society. Thousands of our citizens are con gratulating themselves upon the pleasure this pano rama is affording them. Parents are taking their children, aud whole families are being instructed and refreshed in the great truths of the Bible. It was a bold and noble conception of the artist to embody with his magic pencil the creation nnd the development of the earth in its primitive, pitiless purity and beauty. Tbc Garden of Eden will fully equal if nut surpass the liveliest expectations even of those who entertain the fnost elevated notions of its magnificence ami sublimity. Then* is a clearness i and sweetness in the artist’s style of painting that is ‘ truly captivating and refreshing. The panorama , chronicles ull (he leading events in Bible history, from the creation of the world to the Babylonian I captivity, and stands unsurpassed by any kindred painting. It will be exhibited this evening at Concert ‘ Hall. We would advise all classed of persons not to loose this opportunity ot seeing it. Savannah News. ’ It affordvd us great pleasure on Saturday to greet in our sanctum, Mr. T. A. Burke, the ' gentlemanly and accomplished Agent of the ' Associated Press in Savrtmah. Mb. Burke is 1 also connected with the Savannah News, and 1 visits our city, we believe, on business for that * pap 'r. The News, as its name imports, is em ‘ phaticnliy a /irjwpaper, and moreover it is “all right” on political questions. It has a good ’ circulation iu this section of the State, and we ’ hope “its shadow may never grow less.” Colton’s General Atlas. This truly useful and beautiful work which I is calculated both to adorn the parlor and in » form the mind, is now offered to the citizens of Macon in one volume. The New Orleans Picayune in speaking us the work says: “ Probably no vuork published in this country ever received, during the course us its publication, such numerous and reliable testimonials in its favor as this magnificent work. Every reading man should possess b copy of it. Every parent who can by any means afford it, should subscribe for such a work, fur it will be a continued source of information for 1 himself and a constant fountain of instruction for his children.

Feb. 19lA THE NAPIER BALL The grand social event of the YY'ashington j season came off on Thursday evening, to the I general satisfaction of all concerned, as it was decidedly a highly successful affair. As a mark 1 of the cordial respect and esteem to the two dis tinguished guests of the evening, it must of course have been highly gratifying to them, ’ partieulary as it was so perfectly free from all sectional, political or local bias. There was no 1 North, no Suith, no Republicanism, no De- | > mocraey in it, but on the contrary, a cordial and united feeling among all parties and see- ' ' tions of parties in doing honor to Lord and lady Napier, and as a murk of the sinoeri' regret at • their approaching departure. So extended wim this feeling that parties of ladies and geia tleiueu from .Siullu rn aud Northern cities came to Waaliiugtoii lor the express purpose of join- i mg in the ovation ; and though, until lit*' sup- ■ ; per n«>m aas opened, the crowd iu the Ball room and ante ns.in. « u » a little iueoineniciit, that tery crowdoiih eahnaond tlieoauoUanenL It wn» rstlmste l that from twelve fouru*eti Lundre<! |*r*un» were prencnt. Al half |M«t ten o’i'l sik, l»* ly Napier,ewort ' td l.y Gem ral f’a~, the trneraMe N»s rotary 1 I us iMsle, di Mended the broad stairway that landed in the ball room, followed immediately by Lord Napier escorting the lady of Judge Y\ ayne, and after them, iiiom’uers of .the Cabi net and diplomatic corps, each escorting a lady. On Lady Nupier’sappcaraiice the full or chestra struck up the national anthem of Great Britain, followed liy the national uir of the United States. The I,all room, which was one hundred and fifteen feet long, was draped throughout its whole length with flags of different nations iu a most graceful and beautiful manner, the stars and stripes with the rod cross of England being entwined together. On the wall, oppo site the broad stairs ami immediately before them on the floor, the Napier arms were beau tifully trfteotl mi a very large seapie, the two knights that are the «up|s>rters being of the size of life. Other parts of the floor had beau tiful devices executed in artistic style. Over the two flags was a large device, very hand somely executed, containing the shields of Great Britain and the United .States happily blended together, with the rose, sham rock and thistle on the former, and ornamented with the Indian cornstalk ami leaves for the latter. Ono end of the bull room was occupied by a raised pintform, covered with scarlet cloth, to which Lady Napier and the other distinguish ed lady guests were conducted, and where all who desired it were presented to her. At the northern end of the room was a plat form for the guests of the night, above which were full length portraits of Gen. YVashington and t)ueen Victoria. The whole scene was very brilliant, nnd wc do not believe that there was ever before in YVashington such a collection of beautiful women, a greater diiplay of superb and costly toilet, or a more distinguished company, em bracing as it did the high officials of the Gov ernment, Judges of the Supreme Court, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mem bers of the Foreign Legations, Senators and Representatives, officers of the Army and Na vy, and distinguished citizens, not only of the city, but from almost every section of the coun try, with the ladies of their respective fami lies. Between eleven and twelve o’clock the in tervening curtain between the ball and supper room was raised, and the whole extent of the room, two hundred and seventy feet long, was then seen. At the upper end of the supper room a table forming three sides of a square ’ was prepared expressly for the invited guests. Lady Napier was handed to the table by the Hon. J. M. Mason, the Chairman of the Com mittee on Foreign Relations of the Semite, and also Chairman of the Managers—Lady Napier, with Mr. Speaker Orr on her right, being sent ed on the right of Mr. Mason and Lord Napier who escorted-Mine, de Sartiges to the table, mi his left, other members of the Foreign Le gations and of the Cabinet, with the ladies, be ing ail properly arranged in their respective r seats. The table was very complete in every rc ! sped. Immediately in front of Lady Napier I stood a pyramid of confectionary six feet high, with appropriate devices, and ornamented at the top -w ith the figure of Britannia and anoth -1 er similar ornament, nt a different part of the 1 table, emblematieal of the United States. The company did full honor to the supper, and though three to four hundred were nhle to be in the supper room at one time it was kept , constantly full until (he wee hours of morning, I which is not at ail surprising, under the temp tations afforded by the abundant, varied, and 1 well arranged billoffure- After two o’clock the company thinned off 1 but dancing was kept up to a later hour, with much spirit and apparent enjoyment. /•’rttM tht Surunna/t li<pub/icmi. , ADDITIONAL by the CANADA , Political Intelligence. .

To the J louse of Represeutatitcs : The brief periwl which remains of your pre sent session, ami the great urgency and impor tance of legislative action, before its termina tion, for the protection of American citizens and Jtheir property whilst jin transit across the Isthmus routes between ’our Atlantic and Pacific possessions, render it my duty again to recall this subject to your notice.’ I have here tofore presented it in my annual message, ls>th of December, 1857 and 1858, to w hich jl beg leave to refer. In the latter I stated that “the executive government of this country, in its in tercourse with the foreign nations, is limited to tbc employment of diplomacy alone. YY’hen this fails it cun proceed no further. It cannot legitimately resort to force without the dwect authority of Congress, except in resisting nnd repelling hostile attacks. It would have no authority to enter the territories of Nicoragun, even to prevent the destruction of the transit ami protect the lives and property of our citi zens on their passage. Itia true that on a sud-! den cinergiinc v of this clmraeter the President I would direct any affirmed force in the vicinity to march to their relief, but in doing this he I would net up<>n his own responsibility. “Under these eireumstauees, I earnestly re commend to Congress the |utasage of an act au- . tlairisiug the President, under such restrictions as they may deMI proper, to employ the land i and naval furueauf the I mtod Ntatos in pre venting the trenail fr iu lieing ofvetrw ted or • |.*d Ivy lawless vloletiae, and in protecting the lives amt property American eitizati* ■ travxiiiiig tiirrvapon, requiring at th*" sains 1 ■ Utur that tbrsc futtwa altall la withdrawn th« I moment the danger shall have pessed away.— 1 W ithout such a provision our oitizons will lie > constant! v exposed to interruption in their pro gress, and to lawless violence. “A similar necessity exists for the passage es such an net for the protection of the Panama and 'r< bauutcpee routes,” Another subject equally im|M>rtant command ed the attention of the Senate at the last ses- 1 sion of Congress. The republics south of the United Suites on this continent have, unfortu nately, been frequently in astute of revolution and civil war ever since they achieved their independence. As one or the other party has prevailed and obtained possession of the ports open to theforcign commerce, they have seized and confiscated American vessels and their cargoes in an arbitrary and lawless manner, and extracted money from American citizens by forced loans and other violent proceedings, to enabit! them to carry on hostilities. The executive governments!)! Great Britain. France, and other countries, possessing the war making power, can promptly employ the necessary means to enforce immediate redress for similar outrages upotn heir subjects. Not so the exe cutive government of the United States. If the President orders a vessel of war to any of these ports to demand prompt redress for outrages committed, the offending parties are we'l aware that in case of refusal the com mander can not do no more than remonstrate. He can resort to no hostile act. The question must then be refered to diplomacy, and in many cases adequate redress can never be ob tained. Tl us American citizens are deprived of the same protection, under the flag of their country, which the subjects of other lAtions enjoy. Tlu remedy for this state of things can only be supplied by Congress, since the constitution has confided to that body alone the power .to make war. Without the author ity of Congress, the Executive cannot lawfully direct any force, however near it may be to the scene of difficulty, to cuter the territory of Mexico, Nicaragua, or New Granada, for the purpose of defending the persons and pro perty of American citizens, even though they may be violently assailed whilst passing in peaceful transist over the Tehuantepec, Nica ragua, <>r Ponama routes. He cannot, without taansceiiding his constitutional power, direct 1 a gun to be tired into a port, or land a sea man or marine to protect the lives of our coun try men on shore, or to obtain our redress for a recent outrage on their property. The bandit ' ti which infest our neighboring liepublic of I Mexico, always claiming to belong to one or the other of the hostile parties, might make a ' sudden descent on Vero Cruz or on the Tehu antepec route, amflie would have no power to employ the force.on shipboard in the vicinity forfheir relief, either to prevent the plunder of our merchants or the destruction of the transit. In reference to countries where the local au thorities are strong enough to enforce the laws, tlie ditlleulty here indicated can seldom happen: but where this is not the case, and the local authorities do not possess the physical power, if thev liossesetbe will, to protect our citizens t." 11 «itliin their limits, recent cxjierience has shown that tire American Executive should himself be authorized to render this protection. Such a grant of authority, thus limited in its extent, could in no just sense be regarded as n . transfer of the war making power by the body to whom it exclusively belongs. The riot nt Panama in 1856, in which a great number of I our citizens lost their lives, furnishes a pointed illustration of the hieh may arise j. tor the exertion of this authority.' 1, therefore, earnestly recommend to Con gress, on whom the responsibility exclusively rests, to pass a law before their adjournment, conferring on the President the power to pro l tect the lives and property of American citi zens in the cases which 1 have indicated, under , such restrictions and conditions as they may - deem advisable. The knowledge that such a law exists would of itself go far to prevent the t outrages which it is intended to redress, and to - render the employment of force unnecessary. Without this the President may be placedin a painful position before the meeting of the next Congress. In the present disturbed con dition ot Mexico, and one or more of the other t republics south of us, no person can foresee what occurrances may take place before that j period. In case of emergency, our citizens, j seeing that they do not enjoy the same protec • lion with subjects of European governments, will have justcause to complain. On the other hand, should the Executive interpose, and es pecially Should the result prove disastrous, and valuable lives be lost, he might subject himself > to severe censure for having assumed a power . not confided to him by the Constitution. It is to guard against this contingency that I now appeal to Congress. Having thus recommended to Congress n measure which I deem necessary mid expedient for the interest and honor of the country', I . leave the whole subject to their wisdom and discretion.

The Missouri Denun-rat publishes several let ters from the gold mines, giving accounts which should cool oft’ to some extent those who have the gold fever. One writer says : ' Some persons havealready commenced work- ■ ing in the mines ; but so far it pays poorly.— Biggers who have been the most successful have not averaged three dollars per day and some 1 have not made fifty ecu’s, working hard at that. The gold is very fine. It takes from 20 to 25 particles to make the value of a cent.— ’ The largest speck which I have heard of will not weigh more than twenty-five cents in value. All the largo lumps that you have received in St. Louis as Pike’s Peak gold were never ob tained in this region—they belong to Califor nia. All the accounts of gold findings of an extravagant character are the fabrications of speculators. I wish to put you and others on their guard against these stories ; especially Gen. Lari ’ mer’s account. I will venture to sav that he I does not know anything about the matter.— , I have not found a good prospect yet; and I lam on the ground. I venture the prediction ■ that few persons will make fortunes gold hunt -1 ing in this country. But as “seeing is believ- I ing." let all who wish to have a sight at the "elephant” come on. lam beginning to get a view of him. There are more than two hundred cabins built here, and two hundred more are to be e | rected before the last of March. A good hotel will be ready for the “boarders” by the end of; May. It is to be two stories high, seventy-five I feet in width and one hundred anil twentv I ' foot in length. Speculators are already busily 1 engaged in laying'off cities around the dig-' ' gins, and they are the fellows who are sending ' to the States such glowing accounts of g,,ld dis coveries. | If enough of gold is not found before the lat ’ ter part of May, many now here will go to Cal ifornia, New Mexico and Arizonite while not 1 a few will pitch their tents in this new region for life. ■ - ■.... »■■'■■■■ New letter from ffaa Aulutiio. signal by B«M»ne G.

The Inferior Court of Bibb County commen ced its semi-annual session nt the Court House in Macon yesterday morning. Present—Their Honors, J. .1. Ghi-.siiam, W. F. Wilih un, Wm. Li nio. J. B. Aktoi'E, Wm. Holme. The Court appointed the following gentlemen to constitute a Board of Examiners of Common School Teachers in Bibb County, viz: N. C. Mi xhoe. John L. Jones. B. F. Boss. E. C. Rowland. Sami.. B. Hunter. The caseof Martin V. Brantley vs. Charles S. Holden, was decided adverse to the Plaintiff, but we understand that an appeal will be made. The Court adjourned to meet again this (Tuesday) morning at 0 o’clock. Compliment to Mrs. Florence. This accomplished Actress who closed her engagement in our city last Saturday evening, was complimented on that occasion by her nu merous admirers here, by presenting her with a costly ami beautiful set of Jewelry, from the ' Store of Messrs. Menard & Burchard, whose reputation in such matters is sufficient assu i rance that the jewels were of the first water, and it is the unanimous verdict of the play.go ing community of Macon, that the presents i were richly won, and could not have been more i worthily bestowed. The Manager, Mh. Flem ing, made the presentation in a neat speech, to I which Mrs. Florence very appropriately re ’ sponded, begging Mr. F., in her behalf, to re- • turn her grateful acknowledgments to the do i uors of the very acceptable gift. ! The Company proceeded on Monday to At ! lanta, where we hope they will meet with that - success which they so eminently deserve. , Rt. Bov. George F. Pierce. This distinguished divine, Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, preached - at the Methodist Church in this city on Sun day, and last evening delivered the Annual i Address at the Presbyterian Church on the - occasion of the Anniversary of the Macon t Young Men's Christian Association. Both his t sermon and his Address were listened to by - large audiences composed of members of the - various denominations, and all were impressed i with his great ability as a Preacher as well as -a Lecturer. He lias few equals in the pulpit, t and rarely has any man done more good in the r cause of the church. II The Weather. We had occasion, last week, to allude to the > unpropitious state of the weather. Since then, r wc have had a constant succession of bad to f worse—rain, rain—slosh, slosh, and nothing • else. It is now the first of March —a time - when planters should be putting seed in the ground, whereas, they have not even had the i: opportunity of preparing the soil. The pros -1 pect is discouraging indeed. Presidential Nominations. s The Savannah Republiecui having nominated I for the Presidency, Mr. Hammosd, of South Carolina, and for the Vice Presidency, Mr. s Choate, of Massachusetts, the Augusta Consti lutionalist, silent as to the latter, endorses the formers but with the significant suggestion that ’ t the Republican might find a man equally fit on our own side of the Savannah. To this hint, I the Republican gives that grave attention w hich is decent and becoming—then ponderously an swers in the negative, oracularly setting forth the why and wherefore. After disposing of this little affair to his own satisfaction, if not to that ' of his readers, our Yamaeraw cotemporary , calls upon the Constitutionalist to speak out on the subject of Choate. The other matter is settled—that Hammond will do for the Presi -1 dency is clear. Both agree as to that, and we • may consider that part of the business over a with. So far, so good. But as to tlie Vice v Presidency—there’s the rub ! The Republican u is positive that Choate will do—which is very n encouraging for the said Rufus. But alas! the e Constitutionalist has not spoken—in fact, is ob- stinately silent—and we all know that with all modern oracles us well ns ancient, silence is chilling and—“ not to put t<«) fine a point on it ’’—tret blanketty in the extreme. Poor Choate, it is plain, trembles in the balance. — ’ When we read the Republican, we are disposed to back Rufus against the field. But until the ’ Const nationalist makes its banter, prudence 1 suggests that we should wait and watch. So I much is dear—that Hammond will do. And for this let us be grateful, nor "look a gift horse in the mouth.” 1 . Meahwhile, what has Bennet, of the New s ' York Herald, to say as to Gen. Winfield I Scott, Simon Cameron, mid Live Oak George? P. S. Still Later.— We have just received II tlie Telegraph of this date. The Thunderer 1 graciously admits—“ we have nothing to say ' against, that ticket.” Nay, more—it will suit ' the Telegraph very well. Think of that I It will actually “suit the Telegraph.” Clearly, there is no need for a Charleston Convention. Iverson Meeting. , At a meeting held in Griflin on the 22d inst. 5 by the Democracy of Spalding county, to give public expression of their approbation of Sena tor Iverson's late patriotic speech on the Pacific Railroad, the following Resolutions . w ere introduced and unanimously adopted.— . The resolutions both with regard to Senator Iverson’s speech and the approval of Gov. i Brown’s administration, as well as the con . demnation of Stephen A. Douglas, will each and all meet with the hearty endorsement of an overwhelming majority of Georgia Demo, crats. The Resolutions are as follows: Resolreil, That we heartily, approve the innnly and dignified defence of the South anil Southern rights and principles on the part ot ■ Senator Iverson, in his recent speech in Con- I gress on the Pacific Railroad bill, and that he i is entitled to the thanks of all true Southern ers for the very able and statesmanlike vindi cation of their cause in the face of our cne : mies, and in opposition to the sentiments of | overwhelming numbers; and that onr thanks I are hereby tendered to him for the noble ex -1 ample he has set to all who occupy the respon sible position of representatives of Southern States. Resolreel, That we concur in the opinin nt turedby him on that occasion, that when the pres ent republican party or its legitimate successors shall get possession of all the departments of the Government, “step bystepitwill be driven on- I ward in its mad career until slavery is abolished or i the Union dissolved. One of these two things iis as inevitable as death.” That “the North I intends topnt down slavery at the South, ]>eace ably if they ean, forcibly if they must.” “ That there is but one path of safety for the institu tion of slavery in the South, when this I mighty Northen avalanche of fanaticism and ’ folly shall press upon us; and that path lies, through separatation and a Southern cotifed- I eracy.” “That the election of a Northern i President upon a sectional mid anti-slavery is sue will be considered cause enough to justify I secession. *' ResoM, That while we hold it U» be the • duty ot the South to use all proper means to I mnintaui her riglita within the Union, with a I View tol*lng.jHsliti«! l*fore the world In reap’o mr ttw powers ehe has delegates! to the general foverumeut, in the event site tfiilslo obUSUi jua- I . tice in tlie Luiou," It will be equally her da- I i ‘ »y to UMiiutaiu Uiuee riftto by • separation trvm j < such States as may refuse to recognize sucji rights. Tnat the South onght to make no more compromises of hes rights either in party platforms or national legislation. That a full recognition and maintenance of those rights is parainouut to the suecess of national parties or their purtizan administrations. Il solml, That we approve the aide, patri otic and wiseadminwtration of Gov. Brown. Resobutl, That wc condemn the course pur sued by Stephen A. Dougins as disorganiz ing and destructive to the rights of the South. And we hereby pledge ourselves, if he should be a candidate for the Presidency, to use our utmost exertions to defeat his election. Resoleetl, That a copy of these resolutions he furnished Governor Brown and Senator Iver son, and that the proceedings of this meeting be published in the papers of this city friendly to the cause of the South, and all other papers of like character. Miss Dix and the State Lunatic Asylum. It having been made known that Miss Dix, the distinguished Philanthropist, whose life is most heroically devoted to ministering to the sufferings of the afflicted and destitute, was in town, and would be glad of an opportunity of presenting to the citizens of Macon, as she has recently done to those of Augusta, Savannah, and other places in Georgia, her views in re gard to ameliorating the condition, enhancing the comforts, and improving the prospects of cure of the unfortunate inmates of the State Lunatic Asylum, near Milledgeville, at 4 o’- clock on Saturday evening, the 26th inst., a number of ladies and gentlemen assembled in the parlor of the Lanier House, and organized by inviting Judge E, A. Nisbet to preside, and requesting Dr. Nottingham to act as Secretary. In a quiet, lady-like and conversational man ner, Miss Dix engaged the most profound at tention of her auditors for an hour and a half or more, with her views of Insanity, and the best modes—moral and physical—of curing it. Having reviewed much of what she had ob served, and been instrumental iu accomplish ing in her glorious mission in both this coun try aud in Europe, in the most handsomely en dowed and best appointed Insane Institutions, she suggested, iu reference to the Georgia Asy lum, that whilst our State Government had been very generous in voting liberal appropri" aliens fftr the construction of suitable buildings, and supplying in the person of the worthy Su perintendent, un effecient Medical Officer, with a staff of reliable subordinates, still that much yet might be done by individual benevolence, in beautifying and adorning the grounds ; in furnishing means of healthy physical recrea tion ; in affording innocent games of amusement and iu providing Books, Maps, Charts, and other Works of Art and taste, as well as ob ' jects of Natural History, that would give an increased air of comfort to the Establishment, ‘ serve to relieve the bare walls of dormitories, halls and corridors, of their monotony, dreari ness and gloom ; gratify the tastes, promote the happiness, and interest, amuse and instruct the unfortunates who there have their habitation — I all being highly conducive to their ultimate re , cuvery —most instructively illustrating her po sitions by apposite illustrations, and enforcing heropinions by deductions from politico-econom , cal considerations, as well as by the most t touching appeals to the sympathies of humani , ty, she was responded to by Dr. J. Mercer Green, moving the appointment of the following ] gentlemen, viz: Rev. J. Blakely Smith, Rev. Samuel Boykin, Dr. J. Dickson Smith, Mr. L. ! N. Whittle and Mr. Samuel Hunter, as a Coni s mittee to canvass the city and solicit subscrip t tions to be forwarded to the Superintendent f and Trustees of the Asylum, to be used in con , nection with funds raised by similar means at , other points in the State, for the purposes des _ ignated by Miss Dix. These gentlemen are now engaged in dis r charging the duty assigned them, and it is hoped that our citizens will respond free and , liberally to the object so worthy of their benev. Uence. C.

I There was revelry in Sir llugclbagg’s Hail, For he must depart on the morrow— So the savage men dance—the minstrels played, While brave Sir Hugh, in armour arrayed, Knew not a care or sorrow. it By St. Bizzlewig, Hugelbagg cries, The Saracen foe must surrender; And be pledged them in stoups of Kheiuish W iue, That hordes of inlidela rank aad line, He’d kill, e’recuine November. in Now the trumpeters blew—his lady came, Her maids of State a score —• And she begged with tears in her beauteous eyes, With tears, and sobs, aud wailing cries, That her lord would war no more. IV My bow and battle axe, Huglebaggs cries, My Guards and Pages trusty, By my Halidame! these quoth he, “Shall win a crown and fame for me, Though the axe I fear’s too rusty. Then the grinders came with their grinding stones, And varnished his battleaxe bright; With Pages then three score and ten, And a thousand stalwart serving men, He quitted the castle that night. How the Saracens fell, how Hugelbaggs fought, Is recorded in History’s story ; Lett alone on the plain, Half dead ’mid the slain, Twas Hugelbaggs fate and his glory. VII A single page was left him still. Who drest his wounds so gladly, That Huglebaggs swore, by the arms he bore, lie felt defeat as ne’er before Was he pummeted so badly.

The richly furnished parlors at Glenashton were brilliantly lighted, aud the prismatic rays of a costly chaudelier fell on many bright eyes which “beamed brighter still” as the soft inspiring strains of music called for a dance. On they whirled through its in tricate mazes with matchless grace and nimble feet which never tired, none teeming happier than Evelyn Ashton to whom the party was given in honor of her seventeenth birthday. In vain she searched the room for one whose presence Dever failed to bring a wel come smile on her lips, and whose lavished love bad never been so highly prized as at tliis hour. Evelyn was a petted beauty, an only child, and amid all the flattery and varieties of her “first season out,” had caught the prevailing epidemic, that of be ing a triumphing coquette whose highest ambition was to ensnare by their wily graces all who came within the influence of their dazzling charms. Nevertheless she possessed a great many noble qualities which only nettled a master touch to bring them to light, and iu after years she learned to make a higher use of the brilliant beauty and surpassing talent with which kind Heaven had endowed her. In is the “queen city of the Ocmulgee,” could not boast as many splendid edifices as now, and side by side, in lofty defiance without a rival, stood the magnificent buildings of Col. Ashton and Mr. Mar ner. Our beautiful heorine and Harry Marner had been playmates in childhood, and many a pure of eternal constancy had been breathed under the shadowy elms of Glenashton. There the sweet young flowers of unfading love bad begun to bloom, whose [U tah expanded with greater Iwauty every year, un til their balmy fragrance now seemed a sunny spell, which no storm cloud darken. With a soul elevated above the common pleasures of earth, and a heart filled with generous impulses, Harry Warner despised the fashionable follies of a city life, and dreaded their influences on the sweet idol of his boyish dreams, though earnestly hoping they could never change a soul so childlike and gentle as hers. He had been for several years at a distant uni versity, and had now returned, bis heart teeming with goodness, which strongly resisted the many attacks of temptation so frequently placed before it, and his intellectual brow crowned with well deserved honors. Years had passed since he left his buyhuod s home, and be could scarcely recognize in the brilliant beau ty who met him blushingly and half shyly, the play ful little “Izena” whom he had chased so often acrofl the lawn, and as often Maimed a kiss on her rosy cheek in compensation for his long race, for her tihy feet even rivalled those of Atalantn in swiftness. How bis heart thrilled jrildly with unconcealed joy when her trembling band was clasped once more with’ in bis own. - Again they riailed tngeth.r tho familiar haunt, of their eMMhood a homo, ehatling gaily of bju-goeo hours or aadly mu»i»« "h™ roaming orer tho i»> bordiTod walka of Rom Util, lho> paawd kmm lo»«i •M's grur<—avuiß cUriahwl playmate whom, merry laughter Lad ouco rung io wild and free in ■»!•>» with theirr, aud who bail, pvrhapa, eullod many a ti ny Bower from iLo beautiful spot wh.ro now abo >kpL Ormulgrw’B glittering wares murmured •«'!» aad low a coaweUM requMß, and told that amid th. tranquil Imaatioß of aatun*. remote trvW> hr i ity • buoy bum, aad away from lift'* turmoil aad ware, many a Jb«aauK»aa form bad found an rarly reouud i tdaeo.
