AC. Boung an eminentjpractitioner and highly esteemed citizen of that place. He was unr physician and friend, and our acquain tance with him warrants us in endorsing the rentiment of an exchange in say ing j“ truly a man has passed away.” [oOMMIUiICTKD.J A Macon Item. It is at all times questionably, if not subject to the imputation of impropriety, to notice the social festivities of private hospitality ; but the uccasion of J. B. Ross’ parly last evening nt bis now and palatial residence, iud .ces us to run the risk of this imputation, as we believe this brilliant and splendid affair should be re corded among the memories of J/acon. The large and spacious rooms were filled to overflowing, and the fall of fairy feet thronging the Piazza, kept time to the waves of music that rolled up from the Baud below. [beauty, at all times attractive seemed to wear brighter hue, enriched by the charms of the scene in which she moved. To speak of Macon beauty, would be like praising the sunlight—the world acknowledges it and only blindness could fail to see it. Every gem she has sparkled last night, and sprinkled light and pleasure around. But loveliness on this occasion evidenced that no place could claim, no people appropriate her; that though her crown was here, her daughters had no spe cial locality, for as’we glanced along the crowd we could discover faces adding new graces and attractions even to Afacon. From Columbus there was a lovely, gentle agreeable, graceful and radiant representative. As we looked at her from a distance we could but regret that three other stars whom bridal Astronomers predicted would shine that eve ning, were absent, and breathing their loveli ness on the Chattahoochee. Twiggs lent her brightest jewel, with a sun flash ofbeauty that kindled admiration into life with eyes “Like the star-light of the soft midnight, So darkly beautifnl, so deeply bright.” Monroe ever contributing to the pleasure of our social meetings, and ever welcomed, had a bright and attt.active representation; and, from all the surrounding counties might be enumerated individual in tances ofbeauty and intelligence, had we time or could locate the parties. The pleasure that gleamed around us—the genial happiness we felt—the delight that ' charmed the whole evening, will by long re- | membered as marking, not only the princely hospitality of the ho t, Ma. Ross, but the plea sing incident that induced its manifestation.— For in the advent of the young and graceful bride of his son, wo can congratulate ourselves ii an addition to our society that will be cher ished and appreciated by all. The congratu lations poured around her, were but evidences of the numerous friends who welcome her to our city. But we must stop, for our pen runs too fast and wo only intended a notice, not a descrip tion. The time passed unnoticed, amid the glow of pleasure. We forgot the past, and could not see the future through the present.— But the parting hour came—the kind good night was spoken—love-tales to be continued, ofaA’ete lork Ledger, were broken off—eyes dosed on scenes of festivities to sleep, and, with the rest, we folded up our thoughts and went to “That rayless realm, where Fancy never beams, That nothingness, beyond tbe land of dreams.” A GIT>T. Exportation of More American HORSES TO ENGLAND. Mr. Ten Broeck ami Mr. Robert llarlin, two well known gentlemen of the turf, loft yester day by th > City of Mane’.ester for Liverpool, taking with them an additional stock of‘'thor oughbreds” to add to the number of American horses that have for a year or two back been contending on England's race courses for glory mid gold, under the jockey cap and silk sleeves of the stars and stripes. Mr. Ten Broeck took with him yesterday eh. c. Starke, 4 years, by "agner, out of Reel, and ch. c. by Lexington, - years, dam by Glencoe. There is as yet on ly hope for the Lexington colt; but Starke has already performed well. Mr. Ten Broeck paid for him $7,500. Mr. Harlan took out Des I biles, a three year old filly, by Glencoe, out of Brown Kitty, by imported Birmingham; Cincinnati, a two year old, by Star Davis (he hy Glencoe.) out of Theatress, by Muckle John, it of Ohl Lady Jackson ; an 1 Lincoln, 4 years, ’ imported Belshazzar, dam by imported Jor dan. There was also Jack Rossiter, a smart trotting horse, the property of Mr. Sam Mc- Laughlin. The animals were comfortably berthed between decks, and everything atten ded to, in the shape of padding their stalls, to guard them against accident in heavy weather, fhere was a number of American game fowls, on board, going out as a present to Mr. Lang ky, the editor of Bell’s Life.

VOLUME IT. The “Hollow Hohn.”—A correspondent I writes as follows to the Frankfort, Ky., leo ! man : The disease of cattle, known as “hollow born,” is causing an annual loss to be estima ted by millions of. dollars in this State alone. This disease is spinal, caused by the skin ad hering to the bone of the back and preventing circulation, and may be cured as follows: Rub with the hands with as much force and friction as possible the hide of the animal, on the track bone, .from tire tail to the horns, thereby restoring circulation. Every animal should be examined and sub jected to the process every February and Mart li, to prevent this disease. Kosst’rn on the Continent.—Galignani’ s Messenger contains the following extract from a letter in the Augsburg Gazette, dated Genoa, January 27. It seems scarcely probable that its statement can be correct, although they are positive, and came in a very direct man ner : “I can positively assure you that Kossuth, whom I know personally, arrived here yester day, with three other Hungarian refugees, from Nice. He has come under the name of Clark with a passport from Paris, where he had stopped for some time. While at Paris and at Nice, he had, it is said, interviews with several , Hungarians, who are anxious to take advan- I tage of the Italian complications to excite fresh [ agitation. Kossuth, it is stated, has w ith him a great number of proclamations, intended to induce the desertion of the Hungarian troops in the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. He has since left for Turin.” Attempted SciciSi.—A free negro by the name ! of Sampson Grant, attempted to commit suicide, a few days since, by cutting his throat ; be was how ever, interfered with by some one and prevented from accomplishing his design.— Greeustoru Gasette. Texas.—The Austin State Gazette publishes a summary of the State census, giving a total popu ulation of 458,520 of whom 138,265 are slaves, aud I 290 free negroes. Os the whites 67,350 are voters.— j The Gazette thinks that over 40,000 persons have come into tbe State aud settled since the roils closed. ’ In 1850, the population was 212,492. The same rolls give the total of acres under cultivation 1.948,- 215, of which 581,808 in cotton, 15,065 in sugar, 977,- 347 in corn, and 208,097 in wheat. The Gias. Trade of Pirc.—The government of Peru sold from tbe Chincha Islands during 1858, gu ano to the amount of 266,709 tons. This sold at tbe ports of Europe and America, where it was delivered, for about fifteen million dollars; and deducting $3,- 000,006 for the freight, this leavessl2,ooo,ooo receiv ed by the Peruvian government and their agents from the sales. Tbe freight the last year lias aver ’ aged about sll a ton. It is now slll, or less. A, ’ I one time the freight was as high as S3O a ton. Os I the 266.709 tons sold, 54,253 tons were shipped to the ’ United States. Wild Africans. We learn, through a private letter addressed ! to one of the editors, that an the 2d inst.., thir ty-six Africans were arrested in the vicinity of : Jacksonville, Ga., supposed to be a portion of ' the cargo of the Wanderer, that has recently been the subject of so much notoriety. The negroes were in charge of a white man, who was conveying them through the country in wagons. The object of the parties making the arrest, as we understand it, is to have them sold by the Governor, under the act of 1817. That act provides that up< n information filed with the Executive, that any Africans, or oth er negroes, have been illegally imported into the State, he shall appoint a tit and proper per son to investigate the matter, and if they are found to have been illegally imported, they j are to be taken to the Capital and advertised ; for sixty days, and then sold. The act, how- : ever, provides that the Colonization Society ’ may, by paying expenses, take them from the ; Governor, and carry them back to Africa. Hulaski Times. Suicide.—Solomon Ellenberg, of this Dis- j trict, committed suicide in the neighborhood of Mountain Creek Church, some ten days ago. He hung himself with a rope attached to the limb of an oak tree that stands near the road 1 leading from George Ouet’s to William Lamb’s, I and was found dead soon after the deed by Major Williams of that vicinity. He was near ly seventy years old, and had labored for a good while under some alteration of mind ; had declared to one of the witnesses examined on the inquisition that he intended to end his life as he did. The jury rendered a verdict in ac- ‘ cordance with these facts. Defeat of the Postal Appropriation Bills —By reference to our Senate proceedings to day in the Senate, it will be seen that the en tire Postal Appropriation bill Ims been allow ed to go over under the objection from the SeJ nate, that as the House sent a new bill instead of returning the old one, it could not be read a second time on the same day, under the rules. ' The Senate adjourned sine die, and thus the , necessity of an extra session of Congress is cre ated. If this bill is not passed before the Ist of July, the entire postal service of the country j will come to a stand still. Much excitement ' prevailed at the Capitol to-day on account of i this Congressional legislation.— Washington ! j States. The following paragraph appeared in a late | number of the New York Tribune: “Was Abraham a Slaveholder!”—The ■ i Rev. D. Cheever will defend Abraham from i tbe frequent charge of being a slaveholder, in I a discourse at the Church of the Puritans, I Union Square, to-morrow evening.” Abraham should feel grateful to the Doctor if he will settle this thing satisfactorily. It ought to be decided before the next National ; Convention. __ Old Duck’s Age.—We find the following in I the Missouri Democrat : “It is remarkable that there is so much dis pute about Mr. Buchanan's age. He acknowl edges only sixty-eight, which is old enough I j for a bachelor. But this record carries him i . further back into the last century.

De Tocqueville on Connecticut In the February number of Lester’s "Dem ocratic Age,” the following capital story is told. Our “Connect-de-coot” friends will please clip it out aud preserve it as an heir loom : A considerable number of years ago, hap pening to be in Paris on the 4th ot July, with ; many other Americans, we ageed to celebrate “the day” by a dinner at the Hotel Meurice. | There were seventy-two of us in all. We had but one guest. This was M. De Tocqueville, who had then rendered himself famous by his great work on Democracy in America.— During the festivities of the evening, after the cloth had been removed, and speechifying bad commenced, some gentlemen alluded en passaid, to the fact that he was born iu Con necticut. u Connect-de-ei>i>t,''. exclaimed Mon sieur De Tocqueville, as he suddenly rose with the enthusiasm of a Frenchman, “Vy mes sieurs, I vill tell you, vid the permission of de president of this festival, von very leetle sto ry, and then 1 vill give you von grand senti ment, to dat little State you call Connect-de coot.

Aaron Venable Brown, who, nt the time of his death, was at I the head of the I’ostofßce Department. lie ' was born in Brunswick comity, Virginia, in ! 1795, and was consequently about sixty-four ’ years of age. He was educated at Chapped ' Hill, in North Carolina, and was a graduate of ' the same class with the lion. W. S. Mangum, 1 I formerly United States Senator from North 1 ! Carolina, and ex-Gov.

Rising w ith rapidity, he soon took a seat in the Leg islature of that State, and in the capacity of 1 i State Representative served with so much sat isfaction, that he was elected to Congress, in I 1839, and held his scat as Federal Representa- ’ tive until 1845, when he decl’ned a re-elec- I tion. He was then brought out as a candidate I for the Governorship to which he was triumph- ’ antly elected. In politics, lie is a democrat of the State Rights school. He is represented to have been a man of impressive and easy man ners, of character unblemished, and of indom- I itable industry and firmness of purpose. His j administration of the Postoffice Department j I has been highly satisfactory, and in no degree, I had bis popularity diminished, or his admiuis trative ability been impaired, by his connec- I tion with its complex and ramified business.— All who knew him in Washington speak in the highest terms of him.

Joseph Bond. ’ 1 We learn by a letter received here by the ! 1 train from Albany on Saturday night, that Col. ■ ! Joseph Bond was killed ou the morning of I that day in the vicinity of Albany, by Lucius - Brown, an overseer employed by Mr. Jerry 1 Beall. We understand from the same source ■ - that the only white person who witnessed the ■ melancholy transaction, excepting the parlies I ! themselves, was an overscey of George Walker’s, . | named Sellers, whose statement is that Brown was violently attacked by Col. Bond, and is : otherwise favorable to the accused. The ru mor is tjiat the difficulty an*ee from the fact ' that Brown had recently w hipped a negro be ’ longing to Col. Bund. Probably we have not yet ascertained the real state of the case. We have no time for comment Col. Bond was one of our most esteemed citizens—a gen tlcman remarkable for his public spirit and private virtues—widely known throughout the State —and universally respected wherever known. The news of this awful tragedy h:i4 produced a deep sensation of horror in our community. “Grass Seed.” The rearing of Stock ia greatly neglected at 1 the South from the fact that it has been difficult to find a hardy and nutrition; grass adapted to our soil and climate.

The opponents of the doctrine of the plural- I ity of the worlds allow that a greater proba : bilitv exists of Mars being inhabited than in i the ease of any other planet. His diameter is 1100 miles, and his surfine cxliibi’.s spots of I different hues ; tlio seas, aCCorißng to accurate | observation, appearing to lie green, tbe land red. The variety in the spots, it is thought, I may arise from the planet not being destitute of atmosphere anil cloud ; and what adds great ly to the probability of this is, the.appearance of brilliant white spots at its poles, which have ! lieen conjectured to he snow, as they disappear ' when thev have long been exposed to the sun. ! and are greatest when emerging from the ■ ion" night of their polar winter, tin* snow line then extending to about six degrees from tbe pole.

[Special Despatch to New York Herald.] WashingTcx, March 7,1859. | Mr. McLane, appointed Minister to Mexico, will j leave to-morrow for New Orleans, and take the Ten , nessee, sailing on the loth instant, for Vera Cruz.— ' So desirous is the government that be should be in j Mexico without delay, that a telegraphic despatch will be sent by the State DtparUnent to detain the Ten nessee should Mr. McLane by chance not be able to I reach New Orleans by the regular day of sailing.— Mr. McLane goes out with discretionary powers to whatever government he may find in a position to maintain itself, and based on tbe will of tho people. It is believed be will find the constitutional govern ment in that. pus*liuu. Still, the administration, whatever may be tbe sympathies of our people to ward# the liberals, will not interfere with either par ty, but wilt be governed by the existing state of' things.

Browm. has been marked with the most signal success. In tbe history of Georgia, no Chief Magistrate ever f presided with more ereilit to himself or more sa‘isfao s Lion to tho people. Nominated at h moiuunt when y the Democratic party seemed almost divided by tbe 0 violent and cypflietiipg cfeipis of rival aspirants—bis D nomination at once dalmod the troubled waters, and g Ms triumphant entry into office, was blit the foreruu trer of the imm. nsc Success wliie’h has crowned his honest labors.

His re-nomination in June, js next to a , certainty, and the nssemblnge of the party in Con vention, although a time-honored custom, can hardly I s be considered a necessity. We predict for him the j unanimous Domination to which his merits entitle I him, and that if thus nominated, he will meet with j no opposition. ■ We copy with pleasure, the following article from ’ i our esteemed friend of the Corner Stone : Candidate lor Governor. Oar Democratic Irieuds seem to be iu some difficul : ty on the subject of nomination. As a party matter, ; ; of course, wo have no right to say anything upon the . | subject; but as a citizen we have as much right as ( any body, and intcml to exercise it. Our opinion, then, is that there had be no nomination unlee Gov. Brown expresses a purpose to retire. Our Jieaeoiis.— it has been the custom for a Gov -1 j cruor tv hold two terms, unless the opposite party can ’ beat him. According to’ party custom, therefore, ’ Brown would be the nominee. We believe that all parties arc, at least, about as well satisfied with him , as they would be with any body, and it is probable that if be should be permit! .-I to run without a nomi nation, there will be no opposition, and for one, we should be glad to see one election in which the peo ple of the State would not be arraigned against each other upuu a mure question of party—without any principles. Again, there will be . much difficulty iu making a Uuminatiun. The democratic party is so strong that a nomination is considered equal to an election ; and we doubt not that there will be those very anxious to put themselves, or whose firiendsjniay wish to put them, iu ■ a position which will insure an election, and it may bethat in the conflict of interests in a convention, angry and excited vmtests may arise, and result in the nomiuutiou yf some man much less acceptable to the party and to the {aiuple generally than the pres ent incumbent. Ln such an event, new combinations would be formed and new elements of strife origiua- j ted, would add to the bitterness of the cuntest which would necessarily result. We can see no good that can result to anybody from a nomination; but we can see great good to the country in letting it alone. It is our opinion that 1 with 'Ut a numinaiion. Brown will hare uj opposi '■ ' tiuu ; with it, we believe be or whoever may bcnvmi- i 1 nate<i will, aa.l, wj repeat, want to see one elec- i > I tion withoutu bitter cunte&t among the people. Let Brown, then, be considered the candidate—de- i I inocratic candidate, or his own candidate, or any bo- , | dy else’s candidate. If he don't suit the democracy, I why of coarse let them n minatc somebody against him—if he' don't suit the other party, if there is any other party, why let them get up a convention to 1 I nominate some body against him, but there is no use 1 for any one to nominate him. I Cattle Epidemic in South-Wes- TERN GEORGIA. A correspomleiit, waiting from Florence, 1 i Stewart county, Gn., in the course of a business I letter, states that his cows hail recently been ' taken with a very fatal epidemic, dying, some- ! times, at the rate of three or four in a day ; • l fourteen, in nil, having died in twelve days.— 1 , He thinks th ir sickness w:e* caused by the . cows eating the peas which grow on what is ! l called clfly-gailed liiue-lamls; they seem to fat- ' l ten and thrive on the peas, mid appear perfectly 1 i healthy, but will suddenly drop down, and 1 I die ill a tew hours. Having never heard any I , remedy prescribed, he put them up in a dry I lot and, as an experiment, gave them salts on I their food and in the « ater they drank. Some 1 I refused to take it, und ot these several subse quently sickened aud died. Others took it ; freely, and not one of these were effected. He then caught all that retuseil, and drenched them with salts, giving each one about a hall pound, after which he lost no more. A neighbor, whose cattle began to be affected in a simihir manner, several having died, adopted the same , remedy, with the most complete success. We i give the facts as stated to us, for the benefit j of our planting friends.— Augusta Chronicle, ——- Remedy for Hog Cholera. —In response to our application for a remedy for Hog Cholera, Mr. Bagby, of this county, called at the otiiee and stated that lie had found Blue Stone a spe cific for the disease.

To Choose a Husband. Dickens tells the folio ring story of an Ame rican sea captain :—On his last voy age home'l I the captain had on board a young lady of re- ' | markable personal attractions —a phrase 1 use ! as one being entirely new, and one you never met with in newspapers. This young lady was beloved intensely by fiv? young gentlemen passengers, and in return she was in love with ’ them ardently, bnt without any particular pre- ‘ ference for either. Not knowing how to make ' up her determination in this dilemma, she con- | j suited my friend, the captain. The captain 1 I being a man of an oFTgin’al tarn of mind, says I i to the voting lady, “Jump overboard, and mar | ry the man that jumps after yon.” The young I lady, struck with the idea, and being natural | ly fond of bathing, especially in warm weatli i er, as it then was, tm* the advice of the cap i tain, who had a boat manned in case of acci | dent. Accordingly, next morning, the five I lovers being on deck, and looking devotedly ■ at the young lady, she plunged into the sen. head foremost. Four of the lovers immediate ly jumped in after her. When the young lady and her four lovers were got out again, she 1 savs to the captain, “What am I to do with them now, they are ail wet ?” Says the cap- ’ tain, “Take Jthe dry one!” And the young 1 htdv did. and she married him.

Slavery in Kansas. Tl.e following extract is taken from the St. I Paul Pioneer: "The bill abolishing slavery in the Territory of Kansas, was “pocketed'' by Gov. Medary, and he thus avoided the alternative of signing or vetoing it. The members of the Free State Legislature had so many private axes to grind that they put off to the last day of the session the anti-slavery bill, aud thus ini'utiouaUy gave the Governor a chance to “pocket” it.— It is said there was an understanding between j them and the Governor, that if they would do , this, lie would sign all their other bills, and they held to their agreement. This shows the i hypocricy- of the Kansas “freedom shriekers.” J-fT" A bill is now before the Ohio Legisla- ! ( ture which prohibits negroes from voting in , that State. The bill provides that judires of ! elections shall reject all votes of persons of African descent, and that any snch person vot ing shall lie punished by imprisonment. Per sonsadvising negroes to vote, are also subject 1 to tr penalty.

The New City Ordinance. Messrs. Editors: Permit a citizen to call 1 the attention of the public to the Ordinance of 1 tlie City Council, read the first time at the reg ular meeting of tlio Board on the Bth inst., and which came np for a second reading on the loth. It seems that our City Fathers have taken upon tlmmsclves t» nuthoriso encroachments upon the streets of- our city, to the extent of fifty feet in some and thirty feet in others to the great benefit of a few individuals whose lolsaro iimtracted, Put to the great detriment 1 of others who have improved their property in accordance with tlio metes and boundaries ot the original plan of the incorporation. Tlio effect of this Ordinance, it enacted, will be to make irregular the lines of many lots 1 whose fronts are now uniform, because those not beuetitted by the permitted encroachment of flower yards cannot bo compelled to remove 1 their fences and shade trees, in order to con form with the whims or caprices of their neigh bors. Again, those who have foreclosed and 1 improved lots have a tested riyht in the advan tages furnished by wide mid airy streets which they may not be. willing to give up, without a consideration. 1 hereby submit therefore, whether tlie City 1 \ Council cannot be better employed in remov ing existing obstructions iu our streets than in passing a general law which will allow of one citizen trespassing upon his neighbor by new cncroacliineuts, whenever it may suit his convenience. j In the case, too, of corner lots fronting on two vv ide streets, or atlording a frontage of 104 by 208 feet, the operation of the Ordinance | will be very- unequal, because it will add per i haps a thousand dollars to the value of such j lot to the positive injury of the next resident, . who has only lOTfljput. Butuccording to the , ordinance ten dollars is the fee stipulated from : both parties. Now, I propose, Messrs. Editors, that the ordinance be so amended, before passage, that the additional strip thus proposed to be leased for 999 years to each owner of a city lot be of fered at public sale to the highest bidder. I doubt not that the City Fathers would thus replenish the Treasury, far more effectually than by exacting the further sum of Ten dollars for the privilege extended. At least every citizen would have equal privileges, which is not guaranteed by the terms of the Ordinance, j as reported and read, for the first time. There is another idea connected w ith this , subject w Inch is somewaat Jluici/iiZ. The laud proposed to be appropriated, is uot to be used I “except fora yard or ornamental purposes.”— I This would compel one of these corner lot ow- I neirs to have a flower or ornamental yard about 112 feet long by 12 feet wide! j But enough. I only wish to call the atten . t’rnn of the Council to the subject, that no such ill-ndvised and hasty legislation as that under consideration may be fastened upon our now beautiful city. Let the matt'r at least, be de layed, till the public necessity requires it, and not subject the city to the risk of litigation or legal injunctions to arrest trespass upou tlie property of private citizens. ANTI t NCROACIIMENT. Sale of the Wandeier.

Sardinia, I restive to dash in upon her old enemy Austria, eight times her size—France ostensibly Lacking her, and squaring off in regular style for a tight, yet all the while talking about it in such ambiguous style as to completely puzzle every one about her real intentions—her ally, En gland, afraid that France is "in earnest, and yet more iafraid to nterfere—Austria planting herself in the best attitude to receive the shock, yet visibly shaking in the knees, and beginning to talk about yielding a point or two—Prussia standing by her cou.-in-gcr< | man, but afraid te stir—and the giant Russia, | himself lately thrashed so soundly, looking on very grevd naturedly and quiet disposed to think it “a very pretty quarrel as it stands.” This ftiMeaw of euatse cannot last long. It is i a very awkward posture for the parties them i selves, and besides keeps the world in a state of painfnl suspense. The affair mast take a turn soon, yet nobody is sure what. The gen eral feeling, however, is that warm work may lie expected. —A'. 1". Courier. Serious Aifray.
