OF It requires a strong appeal to men’s appre hensions or interest, to alter their habits. The low price of cotton, and the prospects of its re maining low, now presents such nn appeal to planters, as cannot pass unheeded to such as expect to prosper. Close attention ta business by which their crops may be brought to mar ket in good order, and by which every un necessary expenditure may be avoided, is the only plan to sustain themselves, with such pri cos as they may expect in future. Abaentr.es who havo lived at a distance from their planta tions, and known nothingof them, except the amount their cotton sold for at the end of the year, must now yield to the necessity of the case, and loave their town residences and ex pensive habits and go to their real homes, and attend (• their business; or if fhat is irksome they must expect the sheriff to take charge for them, after they havo run out the usual course of borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, for a few years. They must choose between the two. Men who live at home, nnd are considered tolerably prudent and industrious, have chan ges to make in their management. The old mode of picking out their cotton, full of leaves and trash wool answer any longer. Rickctty old running gear, giving a lurch and shriek at every revolution of the wheel, must now leave its ancient ubode, to give place to steady ma chinery, that will not rack the gin, and iho gin with teeth awry and brushes worn or gone, napping the cotton and admitting imperfect ssed to go through with the staple, must be replaced with new and good ones. The mis erable plan of cramming two or three hundred weight of cotton, into n round bag, with a crow bar, stilling the packer during the operation, with dust and lint enough to were out lungs of solc-leatlicr in a few years, a plan unworthy of an intelligent people will have to be aban doned, and a screw built on every plantation, to put up neat square packages. What is the cost of having a screw put up, after the planter with his own hands, has got out the timber ? Not more than thirty dollars Well, suppose he only raises thirty bags of cotton, if it is packed neatly in square bogs, it will sell for a quarter of a cent p?r pound more than if in round. A quarter of a cent per pound on a bag weighing 400, would be one dollar, and on the tliirly bags, it would be thirty dob lars he would receive more, fur the square, than for round bales, which would be exactly the amount his screw cost. Iflie raises only fifteen b igs, the screw pays for itself in two years; ifltc raises thirty bags, it will pay for itself in one. Suppose he makes sixty bags, the screw pays for itself and pays a profit of thirty dollars the first year besides. And yet, there am men that make a hundred, even two hundred bags, who pack them in round bales, just “because their dndda’s did so and got along iu the world tolerably wellsome ten or twenty years ago, when cotton was 15 or 16 cents a pound. All this kind of unri flecth g adherence to old customs—necessary only at a time, when the screw had not yet been ap plied to packing cotton—must give way before a near order of things. In short planters will not be long in discov ering, that fewer bags of cotton, picked out clear of trash, ginned in such a manner as to preserve the staple, and pucked with good bag ging and rope, and the seams closed perfect ly with strong twine, will pay better than more gathered and sent to market in the old fashion. They will plant no more than they can handle properly, and more attention will be paid to putting it up. They will come to it after a- while, necessity is a good teacher. And with cotton at present prices, can they afford to give a pound of cotton for a pound of meat, instead of raising their own meat at home ? Can they afLrd much longer, us they now manage to do, to exchange the proceeds of four or five bags of cotton, (880) for a mule, instead of raising that mule at home, from a mare which would ail in ploughing besides. “Old things have passed away” and those who do not expect to aee their property pass away with them, and go into thriftier hands, will have to abandon this wretched mode, which is impoverishing the nsclves, ruining this country, and sending off all the nut profits of our labor into other States. The nearest approach to desolation that a country at all inhabited can present, is a neigh borhood of large plantations, where the own ers live at a distance, and raise largo crops of cetton, have a little corn to buy and all their meat.* The crazy old cabins, looking for all the world like so many dead-falls, only wait ing for the next high wind to tumble down on their sleeping occupant*. The red hills, va- Hegated occasionally with a patch of brown >traw and a gully large enough to hold the vil- lag* court house, stands off in lonely back ground, a few starved shoals tottering along the lane, and a worn out mule or two, with ®ore backs, complete the picture. But just look into the corn crib and meat house, and see how near empty they are in July, before you go. Now would you believe that the own er of such a place und his family, are dashing *hou; in a fine carriage, not vet paid for per haps, and living in expensive style 1 It is even so. How can a country prosper with such a population—such a race of ,l nati consumert fruges," as Sallust characterizes a similar pop ulation in his day. But their duration is brief. They must conform to the altered times and become pains taking, economical agricultur ists, or those who supperintend th.ir business now, will become the owners. Suppose every planter should resolve to plant only so much cotton, os he could gather properly, and make more corn, raise all his meat and mules, and preserve his land by ditch ing his hill sides, and other judicious methods. In five years, what an alteration there would be in the prosperity of this country, and his own circumstances. The whole face of the land would begin to smile, and a new tone cf public feeling would ensue. Occasionally in passing through this coun try, we are invited by an appearance of com fort and plenty, to stay all night at the house of a planter who raises his own meat and der by their actions, than I can by words! In short, will not the work be commenced ? Savannah has money, if not enough with convenience, she has unbounded credit and must raise the $314,500 ; the Central Rail Road has the Iron, and will advance the $161,000 ; the counties interested, from Savannah to Ma con, from Macon to Griffin, Pike, Meriwether, and Troup, with all others In that section of the State, have the strong arms- and stout hearts, and will d-> the work. GEORGIA. Bending Tii mules, and corn to sell. In no case has happened that such a man was in debt. He had money by him invariably, to loan to his neighbors or invest in properly. There is an air of independence, a peace of mind about such a man, that is refreshing from the rarity.— The very (three year old) hogs, grunting about lazily and fat, seem to p artake of their owner’* feelings of content, and groups of colts frolick ing in the pasture, seem conscious almost that there will be com in store for them, during their lives. You never see a surly looking visiter there, come for money long due, and withheld, with evasive and broken promises, peering at the furniture and fixtures as if he was calculating how much they would bring at sheriff’s sale. Now suppose this country pop ulated by such men, what a difference it would make in its prosperity. The people as individ uals would be independent and happy, and the whole land would “blossom as the rose.” A change which every man can profitably make, in the management of his business, can soon bring it ubout- The whole secret consists in making no more cotton, than they have time to gather and send to market in good ordtr; makingplenty of corn; and raising all their meat and mules. WYMAN’S EXHIBITION. It will be seen by reference to this gentle man’s adveitisemcnt in another column of to day’s paper, that with his daughter he will give an exhibition this evening at the Theatre. Those who are fond of the miraculous, will have an opportunity this evening of wit nessing their pleasing and wonderful perfor mances. FOR THE MACON TELEGRAPH THE RAIL ROAD FOR SAVANNAH. Mr. Editor : Why don’t some of you Edi tors in this place nnd Savannah, aid Major Cline of the Griffin Gazette, in the great and good work he has set on foot; I mean the Rail Road from Griffin to West Point, in Troup county, to connect with the Montgome ry and West Point Railway ? This is a sub ject of vast importance to Savannah and that section of country, equally so to Macon and tl,e region above, and tnoro than all, to the Central Rail Road ; and still the Griffin Edi tor, seems alone to have undertaken the work, and from presen. appearances, if the Road is built at all, it must be done by him. I propose belore lie undertakes the job, as no Engineer seems disposed even to tell him the cost of what lie has to do, to inform him of the sub stance of a conversation I held the other day with one of these gentlemen, who was fully conversant with all the facts, and who has given me such of them, as will enable mo to submit tothe Griffin gentleman, the following estimate. From a survey of the ground recently made by the Georgia Rail Road, the distance from Griffin to West Point, is found to be 68 miles ; we shall have then say 55 miles Gra ding. &c., a 83,000 $105,000 10.000 1,200 13 miles grading.

This amount seems large to speak of being raised in these degenerate days but wo will find the following items, viz: 68 miles grading, Ac., 70 do superstructure, $379,000 Making will be eagerly contracted for nnd executed by the farmers along the line and those interested in the Central and Monroe Roads, by being paid one half in cusli, and one half in bonds or stock of the Road ; this will leave grading, su- $189,500 161.000 75,000 50,000 pemructare, dx., Iron, Spikes, dec • It has not been long since, u*. ‘u/ty* in this p-ace , tit.J another buxine haims for his Pwttion. a planter buying Depots, Machinery, Carj, &c., Supervision and Contingencies/ Making £-175,500 to be raised in cash. The Central Rail Road for the first 100 miles, is laid with a plate Rail, which, although it makes a very good Rond, in consequence of the unparalleled increase of business, is entirely too light for that work, and must in a short time be replaced with a heavy edge Rail: this will place 100 miles of good plate bar Iron at the disposal of the Central Company, and the most obvious and profitable way in which they can use it, toill be to lay down 30 miles of it on the Monroe Rail Road, which it only now requires to connect with the State work in a single month ; and to apply the other 70 to the Road jrom Griffin to West Point. This will still reduce the cash required to build the West Point Road, S161.000, which taken from the last amount of cash, as above, leaves the amount of cash that will be wanting to build, equip, and put in complete operation the 6S miles of Road from Griffin to West Point, only $314,500. Can a more beautiful line of improvements be imagined tlmn Savannah will then have ; can a better investment be offi-red to the capi talist ? Will not those interested, speak lou- TROY FEMALE SEMINARY. We are indebted tothe courtesy of a friend for a copy of the Troy Budget, containing the semi-annual report of the committee appointed for the examination of the young ladies of that institution, held the first of the present month.

By MISS ELIZB’H BUELL, OF GLEXb FALLS, Jf. T. One of the most profound mental philoso pliers represents the human mind as a blank sheet, whereon,) in childhood and youth, are stamped the impressions which serve as moulds to fashion the ideas and principles of after life The mind, then, may-be considered as a blank volume, of which the body is the binding ; nnd in which the finger of Time inscribes the first chapter of exis'ence, or infancy, in a “minute and delicately traced chirngraphy.” The se cond chapter, or youth, is penned in a bold open hand. The third, or manhood, is indicted with the free and hurried characters ot the man of business and care; and the fourth, or age, is written with the varying angles, and unequal lines which tell of palsied limbs and fast decays ing humanity. These volumes of life are placed in the great studio of Earth, to be drawn at will by the Au thor of the Universe. Let us lake one of these volumes, and as we peruse its contents, care fully pond< r its worth. Its title page—Life— copy right secured in Heaven. Its piefaco tells of the intimate blending and harmonious union of the mortal and immortal—the physic nl, intellectual, and moral natures—the chain of dependencies, the tender sympathies by whicli these various natures are bound togeth er—and that crowning anti governing princi ple, the human will; which the lamented Pol lock calls “the highest gift of God’s abundant grace.” chapter r. I N F A N C Y. Thou hast no heavy thought or dream, To cloud thy fearless eye ; Long be it thus—Life’s early stream. Should still reflect the sky. Mas. IIemaxs. Infancy ! what interesting associations cluster around the word, starting out in tho dim con fines of memory; and in bright relief are its sunny smiles, its ariless and winning ways, its unaffected innocence, and unsophisticated en dearments. Ignorant ofthe past, andheediess of the future; unqualified to profit by the wis dom *»f others, and unable to appreciate its own brief experience—no cloud of care has yet risen to darken with its sombre gloom, its sun-lit horizon. The gushing streams of unrestrained joy flow quietly on, in a bubbling stream of continual pleasure, confined within the flower- gemmed banks of parental solicitude and care. Like the gradual unfolding of the rose, as one leaf after another bursts out in crimson lustre from its green envelope, so is the gradual ex pansion of ihe infant mind. Its dovelopement may be slow, but in that very tardiness is man ifested a wise provision of Nature; for if the mind were to possess the power and vigor of maiurity while the physical powers are in a state of entire dependence, what mental tor ture and anguish would be endured. All then, is wisely ordered; and as the playful infant toilers to the days of childhood, its harmless prattle and healthful sports, give a bright pro mise fur the yet distant future. fllAPTFR Tf. CHILDHOOD AND YOUTH. My name is Fun, your crony dear, The nearest friend you ba'e. Burns. Happy, buoyant childhoodl Unrestrained it bounds along from joy to joy with elastic vigor, and healthful gaiety. There is an indescriCu- ble freshness of feeling, and freedom of manner in childhoojlr. which speak of artless and guilt less simplicity; and then comes welling up from the fountains of thought, many a crude idea, which like the air bubble on the mountain lake, breaks on its surface and tells us nut of the depths of the waters beneath. The minute in quiry, the irrepressible curiosity, and the in teresting field for interrogation which it finds in every thing new, are but the nucleus for the in tellectual germs which a well educated youth will develops nnd an active manhood will per fect. In childhood, and then alone perhaps, may be found those delicate moral sensibilities, those exquisite conceptions of right and wrong, which, if properly cultivated and suitably di rected, will in after life, lead to all that is tru ly great or worthy of approbation—to that fame which is alone imperishable. Childhood! thy name is blended in our minds with the grassy lawn, the rivulet by whose side we have often times sported, the shady grove, tho sunny hill-side, and the noisy play ground. Its laughing pastimes and happy hours are brought forward with truth and startling dis tinctness on the records of remembrance, tha* make us sigh to think they have all passed ir retrievably away. The youth enters upon the busy world to participate in its gay and joyous scenes; he seeks the busy throng and finds subjects of exciiing interest in every new scene. Nothing seemed too high for aspiration or too difficult for attainment. “Youth, let the Eagle's course ever be thine. Onward and upward/* CHAPTER IV. OLI) AGE. “On his staff he leuned. and from his weary eye A single tear drops; None followed ; for the fount was dry/’ « grey haired pilgrim, as he traces the tablels of his memory, looks back upon his youth as a thing of yesterday, the occurren ces of early life are all too fondly remembered, while the affairs of to-day are unheeded.—The glittering scythe ofdcath, ihe cankered rust of destruction and disappointment, have destroy ed full many a link of the bright chain that once bound him to earth, and many another link lias been lost in the dark gulf of adversity. One by one the gilded hopes of childhood, the pleasures of yoHth, and the pursuits and con nections of manhood with all their bright asso ciations, have been obliterated from the page of existence. Like an old oak of the forest, the sport of the elements forages, whose riven trunk and gnarled branches, bear the impress of lightnings and tempest—So is old age, as shattered by the temptations and afflictions of life, it stands amidst the fallen leaves of retros pective pleasures. Weak tottering age, whose prototype is infancy reversed, the iasl chapter in the earthly career of life. Now and then brilliant gleams of ihe dormant intellect flush in momentary sublimity over the miserable wreck of that which was once a fit tenement for this immortal mind. But to the effort succeeds a chaos like that following the last convulsive ef fort of a huge volcano, which with one mighty throe, casts up the lurid stream of lava and fire, illuminating with its gigantic flame, height plain and glen, then, leaving the scene envel oped in a cloud of murky darkness. The‘‘sil ver chord” is severed, strand by strand, and fibre by fibre, till all its hold on mortality is gently loosened, and the ripened head is gatli ered into the garner of eternity. Then the volume of life is transferred from the shelf ot earth, to tho studio of its author or be cast aside as worthless, or rebound, accord ing to its tested worth, in an envelope of spot less purity—of fadeless immortality.

Romance in Real Life.—The Journal de Frankfort contains a romantic story, that the wife of a tailor residing at Mumch, named Hilper, has lately become a princess, anil gives tiie following particulars: • A rich Roman Prince was living at Brussels with his wife, but bad no male heir. The Prin cess having again become pregnant, be threat ened to repudiate her if the child was not a boy. She was delivered of a girl; but the wife of a Jew tradesman, M. II , being deliver cd at tire samo lime of a boy, the midwife made an exchange of the children, und the prince imagined he had a son. The boy died at the age of six years, and tho girl was brought to Munich, where the real mother secretly gave her a brilliant education. The Princess dying, however, and there being no more supplies for the education and sdpport of the daughter cf her parents, the latter fell into poverty, and the girl married a Jew dealer, M. Sell , who soon after obtained a divorce. She then enter ed as a sort of housekeeper into the family of M. de Spengal, and subsequently the house of the ta lor, Ililperi, where she embraced the Christian religion, in order to accept an offer of marriage from him, which was solemnized, and has produced two sons. The mid-wife, be ing on her death-bed, confessed to a priest who attended her, the fraud of which she had been guilty, and placed documents in his hands lo prove her statements. After a suit of three years the lady has succeeded in establishing her claim, and has been recognized by the fatti er, who has settled his fortunn on her sons.— What adds tothe singularity of the affair is, that Hilper cannot nnke up his mind to solicit letters of nobility, in order to accommodate himself to this change of fortune.
