In no less than fifteen churches in this city are noon prayer-meetings held on peculiar days, not to apeak of Burton’s old theatre, which is so crowded that ne gotiations are pending to obtain some larger build ing, like the Museum. In Brooklyn also increased number of churches will be open for those who are concerned on religions matters, and all the signs por tend that the excitement has not reached its culmin ation.

The March number of this periodical will appear this week, having been delayed somewhat upon question of its future existence as affected by the contemplated removal or its Macon Editor from the city. We are sorry to see it announced that this will be the lost number; but it is the 12th and completes the volume and engagement of the Ed itors with their readers. The Journal, during the year, has displayed a great deal of ability, and was fast establishing a reputation which would, under other circumstances, liavo secured its permanence and prosperity.

Controversy equalizes fools and *wi«e men in the same way,and the fools know it.” Ohio Chivalry.—Tho Cleaveland (Ohio) Plain- dealer tells the following story : Two fiery students at Oberlin College had a falling out tlie other day. Lovely woman was of course the c'.use. Having conscientious scruples against duel ing. they resolved to adjust the difficulty by an np. peal to the rode fistic, or as we think we have heard it called, “the manly art of self-defence ” They ac cordingly met with their seconds in a lonely cow pas ture, about two miles from the College. They fought nine rounds.—One of the parties was badly whipped, and victory consequently perched upon tho banners of the ether party. What makes the affair particu larly racy is the fact that the lovely woman above al- lnded to is a dashing mulatto.

Who on earth, I ask, could help it. With this cursed toothache. O, will the Doctors ne’er discover Something that will surely sever Man and this foul curse forever,— This infernal toothache? Texas. A letter to the Galveston News dated Corsi cana, Navarro county, March 8th, says: I find the farmers busy preparing their ground for planting, and in some few places they have planted their corn. This would have been done not only at an earlier day, but more extensively’, but for the scarcity of seed, thereby causing a degree of caution not here tofore observable in our State. The blighting effect of the late frosts last year on early plant ing, is the cause of this, superadded to the want of grain. The wheat in all this section is certainly very promising, and tho preparations for oats, rye and barley, greater than at any other season that I recollect of. There will be in Lime, stone. Freestone, Leon and Navarro, fully one third more crops planted than hitherto. The following frontier news is furnished by the Austin Intelligencer, of the 10th inst.: A gentleman directly from Captaiu Ford’s Ranger enmp, above Pecan Bayou, informs ns that the Rangers are in fine health and spirits and “ eager for the fray.” No Indians had been seen when tho gentlemen left, although the woods were reported full by the settlers, and several incursions had been made during the two weeks preceding the arrival of the Rangers.

Tho Southern Recorder contains the follow ing notice of this pleasant town : We were much pleased on a late visit to this town in viewing some handsome improvements in it. The most striking and commendable is a handsome Methodist Church, judiciously and tastefully’constructed by Mtsi-rs Broadfield and Eunison. It is sixty-four by forty two, with a basement for a Sabbath School and ibe color- promise of Rich Entertainment. DR. BOYNTON’S LECTURES. We are happy to announce that an effort is now being made to secure the services of Dr. Boystos the celebrated Lecturer or. Geology, to deliver a course of eight Lectures in Macon, commencing with Monday of next week. If successful, wc can promise with confidence, such an intellectual treat to our citizens as they will rarely have the opportu nity to enjoy. In all the leading cities of the U- nion these Lectures hare been delivered upon the special invitation of their most eminent citizens, to crowded and enthusiastic auditories, and in most cases repeated twice and even thrice at the earnest solicitation of the hearers. They are splendidly illustrated by paiutings prepared at great labor and expense, and tlie enthusiasm and eloquence of the Lecturer spell binds the bearer and carries him captive into scientific inquiries and investigations, which in other bands would be dry and tedious. If th.* arrangements are perfected, Ralston’s Hall will be engaged, and the price of tlie whole course of Lectures put down so low as to interpose no bar to any of our citizens. We append the following tes- siiuonial of Mr. Fillmore in relation to these Lec tures : Buffalo, November 10th. 1856. Having bad the pleaxureof listening to Dr. Boyn ton’s Course of Lectures on Geology, recently de livered in this city, and understanding that he in tends going West with n view of repeating them, I am happy tostate, forthe information of my friends there, that his lectures here, though delivered during the excitement of the political campaign, were iia tened to by crowded audiences of onr most intelli gent citizens of both sexes, with apparent delight and satisfaction. Hi* manner of lecturing is much more attractive for being ora’ instead of written, and mot h more instructive to the popular mind by be ing divested of all the technicalities of science, and brought down in plain, familiar language to tlie com prehension of all. The lectures derive additional in terest from the splendid Paintings with which they are illustrated, many* of which are not only beautiful ns works of art, but very instructive in presenting peculiar landscape views and geological formations of the earth. I cannot doubt that his lectures, which are delivered with that earnest enthusiasm peculiar to one whose heart is in his subject, must be useful wherever they are delivered, aud believing this, I cheerfully commend them to tho patronage of my friends. MILLAltD FILLMORE. ^SCjjepape a paragraph Rev. R. L. Breck. papers throughout the State arc eirculatlbg ih to tho effect that the Rev. R. J,. Breck has actually dissolved his pastoral relations with the Presbyterian Church in this city. They are too fast as to the actual fact, and we hope, as to the final result. On Sunday, the 21st, a communica tion from the Pastor, contemplating a resignation of his office, was read to the Church and Congre gation, whereupon, by a very large majority, an increase of salary was voted. Last Sunday a let ter of resignation was read, which the Church and Congregation, by a still larger majority, refused to accept. It therefore remains to be seen whether Mr. Breck will, in view of all the circumstances, still adhere to his determination to resign. Dwyer’s Elocution. Mrs. Dwyer, the widow of perhaps the most em inent elocutionist that wc have ever had in this country, is in this city for a short time, for t'nc pur pose of selling copies of a small volume on elocu tion, published by her husband just before his death. The work is tho sole legacy lie was able to bequeath her, and onr citizens will be bestowing a deserved tribute upon departed worth, as well as obtaining a very interesting book, by patronizing the Indy in her ctdls. Several gentlemen in this city were pu pils of Mr. Dwyer, who will ever remember him with feelings of pleasure and gratitude. The New Orleans Picayune, some months ago, used the following language, which wc willingly copy: “Mr. Dwyer was a graduate of Trinity Col lege, Dublin. To the taste and manners of a gen tleman, ho added great cultivation and intelligence, and he was the best reader we ever heard. His widow, in offering bis work for sale, is pursuing her only means oi'livelihood, and wo sincerely trust she ntay be os successful in our city as she has been in others.—[Daily Wisconsin. Mrs. D. is now in this city, procuring subscribers for the work, which seems to have the patronage of the most eminent men in the nation.

It is said tlieold gentleman was in a shockingly ragged, and dirty condition, when he presented himself at Tampa.” Southern Opposition to the Kansas BILL. We are glad to see 1 he manliness and candor with which this is condemned by the Savannah Republican. The New Orleans Crescent, too, another “American” paper, publishes the fol lowing, which we find embodied in an article by the Times &. Sentinel, of Saturday: “I must speak boldly and say, that the re sult of this breach must prove most disastrous, if not fatal, to the future existence of the A- Passage of the Kansas bill In the SENATE. We were advised early last week, by telegraph, of the passage of the Kansas bill in the Senate, on Tuesday, by a majority of ttight. Among the “amendments” specified as mado to the bill, tlie on ly one of interest is the following, adopted, on mo tion of Senator Green, of Missouri, by the votes of all the Senators who sustained the bill, except Messrs Iverson and Henderson, who did not vote:— “ And that nothing in this act shall be construed to abridge or infringe any right of the people assert- »t „„ * tnit- I Hunter, Iverson, Johnson, of Ark., Johnson, of without pay and without the privilege of going out . . m , • IU UUHU^U VI HIIIIUqV HIM v* —v ~ - mencan party.

The venerable Rembrant Benle. of Philadelphia, de livered a lecture here on heturday night, at the Smithsonian Institute, tinder the auspices of tho “Na tional Convention of Artists,” on “Washington and his Portraits.” It was a repetition of the lecture lately delivered before the Historical Society of New York, and consequently its principal novelties have already taken the run of the Press. It was a great treat to look upon a man who had looked with an artistic eye upon Washington, and hear a man talk who had familiarly talked with the illustrious Paler' Palria. He proved conclusively to tho audience, by his own candid and modest statements, and the epistolary testimony of distinguished cotemporaries and acquaintances of Washington, both social and artistic, as well as kindred, that his own last portrait of the great man, on exhibition before the audience in interesting contrast with several others, was the best one extant. This portrait is a kiud of an agree able compromise between the Houdon and the Stuart portraits, lacking the stiff neckedness of the former, and the unnat ural fullness of mouth and the spruce- ness of the latter. It is the portrait on the sight of which one of tho artists’ old-time visitors exclaimed, “There, that is the Washington that I knew !” and on tbe sight of which, in contrast with the others, the audience seemed to mentally and applaudingly ejac ulate, “There,that is the Washingtonthaltccreadof /’’ Tlie venerable artist lecturer stated that he had paint ed seventy copies of this portrait with his own hand, Aborigines of the Capital.—Not the least in teresting feature of life in the Metropolis at the pre sent time, is the large number of Western Indians here on business with the Government. As they mingle familiarly with Caucasian gallantry and beau, ty, on the fashionable promenades, their savage mien and barbarian costumes, contrast strangely with the elegant carriage and artistic toilettes of civilization and refinement. The other day, a portion of the Sioux delegation, now here, desiringtoseehow“bad men” are treated by their white brethren, were con ducted to the United States Penitentiary, and shown the prisoners at work* When told that the prison- rs were kept withintbe walls hard at work for years servoir to the Narv v. er principal establishments ir. building of high service rtse tbe distributing re; . mJua t,ton r;>. ervnir in g...,,. . and supply of cement, sand, brick • " " other materials.

Reception of the Ttirltish High Admiral. The interview between the President and tho Turkish High Admiral, on Friday last, was quite brief, but of an interesting character.—The only persons present were the President, his private Secretary, the Secre tary of State, the Admiral and his suit, J. Hosford Smith, Hon. J. M. Cross and E. H. Carmick, Esq., of New York. Tho visitors were received by the Pres ident at two o’clock, having first been formally intro duced to tho Secretary of State. The President said that it gave him great pleasure to offer the hand of friendship and hospitality to such a distinguished of ficer of the Ottoman Empire. Ho assured him of a kind and friendly greeting from all free Americans, Wherever he aud his suite might go.—He spoke of the friendly relations existing between the two gov ernments, anddid not doubt but that this interchange of courtesies would go far to strengthen them. The Admiral, in reply, expressed his gratitude for the kind feeling and honor manifested towards himself and his traveling companions by the Chief of so great a nation. He had been directed, he said, by his Imperial Master, to be guided by the advice and direction of the President, and he desired to offer a souvenir in testimony of the high regard entertained for him by his Imperial Master. Ulciropolitiou Amusements.—Besides the so cial receptions in high life, the usual Smithsonian Lectures, the proceedings of the “National Conven tion of Artists,” and the regular Theatre, (to say nothing about the political and gladiatorial arena on Capitol Hill,) we have here this week, the Camp bell Ministrels, and two Shakspearean Readers, gentleman and a lady, the latter being Miss Lizzie Petit, the Virginian Authoress. Munrinc Praj-cr Meeting*.—In furtherance of the religious excitement which now seems to be pre vailing thoroughout the country, there are several daily Sunrise Prayer Meetings in operation among tho churches here. We have not heard of any of the members being affected yet. Tlicrc Is Considerable Excitement here to day, among ail classes, and both sexes, in antiepation of the night session that is expected to come off in the Senate to-night, on the Lecompton question. Police Uniforms are to come into vogue here this week. t2TA scrap of political history is revived by a writer in the Richmond Whig. In 1808, .Tames Madison, the author of the celebrated Resolutions and Report of 1798-’99, the text book of the Se cessionists, was elected President of the United States. On the 8th day of December of that year, tho electors of Virginia, at the head of whom was Spencer Roane, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court, and u leader of the State Rights party, met in Richmond to cast the vote of the State. They dined together at the old Swan Tavern, and, as usual, drank toasts and made speeches. Among the regular toasts prepared for the occasion and drunk with approbation by the company was the following: “The Union of the States: Tlie ma jority must govern, if is treason to recede /” Dr. Banting says that hot bread never di gests.

It the Senate Session last night, both tlie gal leries and the floor were packed with Metropolitan beauty, interspersed with sach beaus as were fortu nate enough to become inextricably ensconced, in crinoline. Many ladies and gentlemen had to return home, unable to gain admittance. It has been sug gested that these attractive night sessions of the Senate be held in the new Hall ot tha House of Ro presentatives. But, of course, such an ligration would be inconsistent with the dignity and gravity of any legislative body, much more of the Senate of the United States.
