Subscribers who do not give express no ties to the contrary, are considered as wishing to continue their subscription. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their newspaper, the publisher may continue tn send them until all arrearages are paid. S. If Subscribers neglect or refuse to take t tir newspapers from the office to which they tire directed, thev are held respons hie until they have settled the bills and ordered them discontinued. 4. If subscribers remove to other places without informing the publisher, and the news papers are sent to the former direction, they are held responsible. 5.

The United States Courts have also, re peatedly decided, that a Postmaster who neg lectl to perform his duty of giving reasonable notice, as required by the Post Office Depart ment, of the neglect of a person to taka*from the office newspapers addressed to him, rend ers the Postmaster liable to the publisher for the subscription p.ice.

Such is the title of an essay we have read in the May number of the “New York Teacher,” from the pen of Mr. Henry C. Mitchell, of this city. The maturity of thought displayed in this production ‘as well as the soundness of views advanced, does credit to its author. After arguing the utility of the classics, as aiding the memory, cultivating a discriminating in tellect and a power to analyze matter, the essay concludes with the following : “In the face of this admitted piscipline of the classics, the cui bom argument is of tcu against them. It is contended, that Irm'se Studies however laborious and useful, training in thorn may have been, are easily forgotten, and thus that advan tage gained, lost; that time, the abstrac tion of business, the rub of li/e, will soon tell upon memory’s tablet and wear it smooth. In answer let a simple fact be stated. A thoughtless boy drives nails in •>. choice post, intending to extract them wards and not deface it. This lie aftei. -i v docs and does skillfully ; the nccoidiug „ hut what is liis dismay to nails are gonC.< _ <* prints 1 These like find that he lias iC. u . ‘ his nursery book the well lie has read o. l “ • *, u i] 0 u(.” “All the-king’s horses can u. ot r , • ul j n t As tlieu in the mechanical woiTo, i follows a perforation, so in the intellect?. I ** | one, docs benefit succeed wholesome men tal exercise. The absence- of previous impression, may be predicated upon the non-existence of this after benefit. But eve.ii these studies themselves, after being once mastcied, are not so easily forgotten. ; One rarely forgets a bad road after lie toil ed over it”. These grass-hopper scholars by whom the complaint is put, up, were “piping.” while the industrious ants were laying up winter stores, and when the , merits of their old and trusty friends arc being weighed, instead of advocating them or seizing a pen and paying them a just and manly tribute, they turn traitors and become remarkably oblivious. Tlio benefits of the classics are not con fined to advanced students. They begin with the study. Alter the grammar is learned and tlie student plods on, undoi good instruction light break# gradually in upon him and reason dawns or. memory.— That the methods of teaching these lan guages adopted, might be improved and made more intelligent nd truly interes ting, we do not doubt. That they suffer from superficial study; occasioned by the Lot pursuit of wealth and early fame in this country we can not deny. But. for all this, their services lire great, and although we do not claim that they cau satisfy yve ry want in education, yet they deserve to stand, as they do, high up in the scale of studies.— Columbus Tima. The British House of Gouiinous. A Loudon correspondent of the N. Y. Observer writes: Through the kindness of Dr. Cunning ham, who was here, and of the Hon. Mttr rav Dunlop, a member from Scotland, I was enabled to spend a night in the House of Commons. The room is not large, and none but members aro admitted to the floor.’ As there is but little speaking tor the sake of speakings as with us, the pro visions for spectators are limited. The Commons do their business in a private way. We entered the gallary by wind ing a narrow stairway, and on taking our seats, the Speaker was before us, in some thing like a Scotch pulpit, with sounding board, with the iront removed. The clerks, three in number, sat before him like precentors. In front ol them was a table covered with books. The seats ci, the members—benches cushioned—rore one above, the other, from the centre to either side of the house. The members entered without hats, but on taking their seats, put them on. The Speaker and clerks wore wigs and robes. The minis ters and their friends were ranged on the * —i,t of th? Speaker, the opposition on the fV- , RefoT?n bill was the topic of let . uv John Russell, small in SS3 fewbi dre6S and manner, and delibe*-. p ln bate, roso to make some explanations. 0 1 did Sidney Herbert, comparatively young, and far iuoro English in aspect than Lord John. The debate was opened by a Mr. Black, of Edinburg, a plain, sensible man, who from the government benches spoke : against the bill and was greatly cheered | !by tho opposition on that account. Mr. Black is a bookseller in his native city, 1 and was not designed for public life. He was followed by Bulwert the novelist, who j was a member of the late government, and . is one of the stars of the House. He is small in stature, with bushy hair and ; long beard, lookiug prim, and was ex tremely artistic in his address. Not know- J ing, at first, who he was, we expected hut \ little, as he has the cut and the swell of 1 our Broadway exquisites; but as he pro- i cecdcd his sense, and telling sentences re vealed a man ; and on asking who he was, au official told us it was Sir Edward Lytton | Bulwert. 110 was obviously a favorite, nod spoke to the sympathising audience. GREENESBORO’, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 13, 1860. Yonng Ladies, Read! What a number of idle, useless yonng women—they call themselves young la dies—parade onr streets! “They toil not, neither do they spin, yet Solomon in all , his glory was not arrayed like one of them. Do they ever look forward to the time when the real cares nnd responsibilities of life will cluster around them? Have they made, or are they making any preparation foi the onerous duties which will assurdly fall to their lot-duties to society, the world and God? They lounge or sleep away tlier time in the morning. They never take hold of the drudgery, the repulsive toil, which each son and daughter of Adam should perform in this world. They know nothing of domestic duties. They have no habits of industry, no taste for tlie use ful, no skill in any really useful art. They are in the streets, not in the performance of their duty, or for the acquisition of hea'.b but to see and be seen. They expect thus to pick up a husband who will promise to he as indulgent as their parents have been, and support them in idleness. They who sow {be wind in this way are sure to reap the whirlwind. No life can he exempt from cares, How mistaken an education do .these girls receive who are allowed to imagine that life is aiwT.ys to he a garuefi of roses! Labor is the great law of our being. How worthless will she prove who unable to perform it! T ANARUS, ’"’•s boon observed that ‘by far the ■*“. “"tut of happiness in civilized ‘ 1 1 * domestic relations, and nte is found m . ulc . .. most of these depofln 011 - 1 - 1,1 s of the wife and mother,” W* I'l -then made by our young girls ,;nu..‘ cn parents when domestic education is iin^f-1 tended to! Our daughters should be I taught. /> radically, to bake, to cook, to arrange the table, to wash and-iron, to sweep, and to do everything that pertains to the order and comfort of the household. Domestics may be necessary, but they are always a necessary evil, and the best, “help” a woman can have is herself. If her husband is ever so rich, the time may cone when skill in domestic employments will secure to her a comfort which no do mestic can procure. Even if she is never called to labor for herself, she should, at least, know how things ought to ho done, so that she cannot be cheated bv her ser vants. Domestic education cannot bo acquired in the streets. It cannot be learned amidst the frivolities of modern society. A good, and worthy, and comf jrt-bringing husband can rarely be picked up on the pavement. “The nymph who walks the public streets, And sets her cap for all she meets, May catch the fool who turns to stare, But men of sense avoid the snare.” Marriage. One man marries a woman because she looks well when she fiance^ —she never dances afterwards. Another man marries because the lady hns a handsome foot and ankle, which, after marriage, he never takes the trouble to admire. A third mar ries for love, which wanes with the honey moon. A fourth marries for money, and finds that his wife does not choose to die, to complete his satisfaction. A fifth, be ing old iq. wisdom, as in years, marries a young woman who soon becomes a suita ble match for him, by growing old with grief. Thousands do wrong because oth ers have done wrong before them, upon the grand principles that “many blacks made a white.” Many embrace a princi ple different from those commonly re ceived. in orders to show that they have a mind able to think for itself, and superi or to what they call “vulgar prejudices.” Without considering whether erroneous prejudices are better than those they have abandoned. All grumble at the unsub stantial nature of worldly enjoyments, and yet many purchase them at the expense of their souls. Hypocrites have a strange, taste, neither to enjoy this life nor the next.- Many write for religion, speak for it, quarrel for it, but few live for it. It is not uncommonly remarked that such a one is “religious,” by way of reproach, and that too by a Christian, at a tea party of Christians. Millions of people are most anxious about what they least require, and after testing themselves and others for many a weary day they die—leave their cash to those who have no need of it -nd are, for the first time, eulogized, when the pr.r e °* •* nan can ava ’l them nothing. Meeting of the Rival Rose**- An amus ing incident occurred at reading at Willatd’s Concert Hall in >. as - ! ’ ington City, on Saturday evening, whicii caused pouch comment. Two sofas were placed at the head of the room on oppo ! site sides so as to command the whole hall. When tho audience was assembled, tbe | President and bis party walked in ani | occupied one. They bad scarcely beor, seated when Mr. Douglas and his party i entered from the side dpor and occupied j the other. The rival rosea thus sat eyeing I each other with affeetionateinterest throng* I out, and greatly to the edification of a i fashionable audience. ‘lbe court flies i never buzze on the Douglaa side, and officials had a sudden insensibility to his ) presence wbo cLmiii inniili*r terms on otli* I ~r 0.-rajons.— Chtonitle A Sen fin'd A Few Probable Truths. That of one thousand men and one thou sand women taken at raudom in the British islands, there is, on both sides, an equal per centage of good, indifferent and bad; the indifferent predominating. That any lady who may be reading these lines be longs emphatically to the category of the good. That the vices and virtues, the qualities and defects of the two sexes are different; hut that, on the whole, there is equilibrium. That all men are hot brutes, nor all women angels. That is so close a union as that of married life the stronger will prevails, and that the force of will is as strong with women as with men; but that it works otherwise to its results. That the power of woman is based upon herthorough perception and appreciation of the weak ness of the man. That men, in the vast majority of cases, are very weak. That positive law never touches, nnd never can touch, the miseries and discomforts—where they exist—of married life, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred. That if a man value his own peace of mind he had bet ter keep but of the way of pink bonnets and Balmoral hoots. That the marriage day and that day year are two different days. That the longer the courtship the greater the chance of error, for the deception has ufleil more enduring and continuous.— From al! which it follows as a corollary, “Leap before, you look !”—f Once a Week. The Negroes at Key West. The correspondent of the New York Herald, writing concerning (he cargo of the Wildfire; at Key West says: The negroes scent to be perfectly liap and contented, and arc singing, clap ping ’heir hands, and dancing their coun try fiascos intervals during the day. They nrd Yisited - by the whole population. ThiJ encampment, in fact, is the only attraction *“0 key; and it is worth a voyage of a IIC’Icb to see. them. The women are, some o. ihenl most attractive in person; they are genef ally dean, are but slightly tattoed, and have by no means the repulsive looks and manners of our native slave population. They exhibit marked signs of affection for each other,and are perfectly overwhelm ing in theirfondness witji the white chil dren of the Key. It is a pity that, they should be sent back to barbarism again, as they will undoubt edly be, for such has been the fate of near ly all who have gone to Liberia; better colonize the Keys of Florida with these creatures, or let the government support them until they are old enough to take care of themselves. Most of them are helpless, being yet children, and will be for several i cars, and ifsent to Liberia will have to be supported fora long time by onr government or by the Colonization Society. Pelf r Parley. Samuel Griswold Goodrich, better known as “Peter Parley,” whose death is announ ced, was a native of Ridgfleld, Connecticut where he was born on the 19th of August, 1793. lie began life as a book publsher, in Hartfoid, Conn. In 1824 lie visited Europe, and on his return established himself in Boston, where be again engaged in publishing, and also edited, from 1828 to 1842, an illustrated annual, called “The Token,” to which lie contributed numerous tales and poems. Some of the best of Hawthorne’s “Twice-Told Tales” appear ed in the work. Shortly after bis removal to Boston, he began the publication of bis Peter Parley’s books for children, a series which have made their author famous, and put thou sands of dollars into the pockets of their publishers. The eutire series comprises about forty volumes, and their sale lias been enormous. Os bis “Geography for Beginners” alone, ever three millions of copies were sold. In 1537 he published a collection of Ills pot-ms ; in IS3S a volume entitled “Fire side Education in 1841 a selection of his miscellaneous wfirings, gathered from various annuals and magazines, under the title of “Sketches from a Student’s Win dow in ISSI and illustrated edition of his poems, and in 1857 his “Recollections of a i Lite Time,” bis largest work. He was the projector and editor for years, of “Par ley's Magazine,” and of“. Robert Merry’s Museum,” afterwards united. He was Consul at Paris under President Fillmore, and while there he published, in French, a treatise on American Geography and His tory. A number of his works have been translated into French by M. du Buissar and published in that country. His last work, published in 1859, is entitled “Illustrated Natural of the Animal Kingdom.” He lias beeil itihrm for several years, and died in the 67 tb year of his age. It used to be said of a person who had been imbibing pretty freely, that he was carrying a “brick,” or more, according to tho amount indulged in. That phrase, lias now, in the march of ideas, given place to ontF equally if not more expressive. At Chicago “rail” was substituted for “brick,” aud now it U said of a man under the influ ence. of liquor that he has got “rail,” or wore on his hack, according to the quart ti- I iy he ha# Imbibed. The Forrest Case Nearly Settled. The New York papers of the latest date state that the case of Forrest vs. For rest, for divorce and alimony, which lias occupied public attention for the last ten years is now near a termination. The counsel attended befc re the Judge on the morning of the 16th instant, for the pur pose of settling the final order. The or der, as proposed by Mr. O’Conor, (Mrs. F.’s counsel,) recites the decree of divorce and the legal steps already taken. It al lows Mrs. Forrest alimony $4006 a year, dating from the 19th of November, 1850 and provides for the duo upon such allowance, which, with interest, a mount to $47,716 47. This sum is to be paid into thdTJnited States Life and Trust Company within thirty days after the set tlement of the order. The arrearages and future allowance, which are to be paid quarterly, to be secured by depositing with the same company the mortgage held by Mr. Forrest, npon the Fonthill estate or other adequate security. Mr. Van Buran (Mr. F.’s counsel) proposed amending the order by deducting the interest upon the arrearages, which would lessen thp sum about SIO,OOO, and also giving Mr. For rest ninety instead of thirty days to depos it the amouut and mortgage in the Trust Company. The Judge took the papers and reserved his decision. How to lake Lifer Take it as though it was—as it rs*-nn earnest, vital, aud important affair. Take it as tii<r’li you were born to tho task of performing a .merry part in it— as though the world had waited for your coming. Take it as though it tvos a grand oppor tunity to do and to achieve to carry for ward great aud good schemesto help and cheer a suffering, weary it may he; heart broken brother. The fact is, life is un dervalued by a great majority of mankind. It is not made half so much of as should be the case. Where is the man or woman jyho accomplishes one tithe of what might he (icme ? Who eanuot look back upon opportunities lost, plans unachieved, thoughts crushed, aspirations unfulfilled, aud all caused by the lack of the necessa ry and possible effort! If we knew bet ter how to do and make the most of life it would be far greater than it is. Now and then a man stands aside from the crowd, labors earnestly, steadfastly, confidently, and straightway becomes famous for wis dom, intellect, skill, greatness of some sort. The world wonders, admires idol izes, and it only illustrates what others may do, if they take hold of life with a purpose. The miracle, or the power that elevates the few is to be found in their industry, application, and perseverance, under the promptings of -a bravo deter mined spirit. Many Facts ill Small Compass. The number of languages spoken is 4,064. The number of men is about equul to the number (f women. Tbe average of human life is 33 years. Oue quarter die before tho age of 7; half before tbe age of 17. To over 1000 persons 1 only reach es 100 years. To every 100, 2 reach 75 years, and not more than lin 500 will reacß 80 years. There are on the earth 1,000,000,000 of ‘inhabitants. Os them 33,333,383 die every year; 71,854 die eve ry day; 7,780 every hour, and 60 per minute, or l every second. These losses are about balanced by 7 an equal number of births. The married are longer live 1 than the single, and, above all, those who observe a sober aud industrious cauduct. Tall men live ,longer than short ones.— Women have more chances of life previ ous to the age of fifty years than men, hut fewer after. Tbe number of marriages are in the proportion of 76 to 100. Destruction of a Railroad Train by two Merchants. — A correspondent of the Trav eler, writes from Springfield, Illinois, un der date of May 19th. giving the following description of a scene he witnessed near that place : “Eighty-eight miles from Chicago is Spring Creek. There we passed a wreck ed engine, tender and three cars, tumbled down the embankment and made into an old iron and oven wood. Those who do not believe in the depravity of the human heart will please listen to tbe story. A con ductor put two hard looking follows from the train the week pievious. They swore revenge, and on tho night of the 17th, stole a crowbar from the company, removed a rail with the intention of precipitating the train into the creek, and then lay down in in the woods to behold with fiendish delight tho fatal plunge. On came the train in the darkness, and in an instant all was a wreck. Strange to say, though there were sixty persons on board—though the cars were broken almost beyond the possibility of repair, no oue was injured. The mis creants rushed out to obtain plunder, but wore disappointed, and subsequently found themselves in tbe hands-of officers of tho law” A. Lincoln appears to be a man after Joshua U. GiJdiugs’s own heart. That old fanatic has made a speech at Oberlin warmly commending Lincoln to the sup liort of the abolitionists of that neighbor mod, arid bss also written a letter to (he * nominee expressing his pleasure nf the Terms—Sl,so Always in Advance. nomination. The following is the note J ; Dear Lincoln. —You’re nominated.—- Yon ■will be elected. After your election , thousands will crowd around you, c'riming ! rewards for services rendered.

Giddings also says that Lincoln, ia Con gress, was liis bosom friend. Yes. and they voted together ; and the latter new comes before the country as tho represen tative of tho Giddings doctrines. lion. Peter V.

Ho was admit ted to the bar in ISOB. In 1809 lie was elected a dolegate to the Legislature from Stafford county, and was re-eleetcd a. member of the “privy council” of the State and was successively re-elected councillor until 1836, when lie was appointed by the President Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Virginia, to fill a vacancy occnsined by the transfer ofPliilip P. Barbour, to the supreme bench. Upon the death of Judge Barbour, in 1840 J udge Daniel was appointed liis successor, by President Van Burcn. To which the Enquirer, adds } Judge Daniel was highly respected for Ins unbending integrity, and sound decis ions on tl,c bench.

Second Comet of 1860.—This comet was discovered by Rumker, of Hamburg,, on the 7th April; 1860; as- * faint, illdb* fined, nebulous spot of light. Having passed its periholium at the close of the proceeding February, it was, when, dis covered, receding from the sun, aud its s distance front the earth is now so rapidly diminishing that it must soon ceaso to be visiblc, even by the most powerful told*- scopes. For the past ten days clouds and haze have prevented any search for it nntil last evening, when if was detected by Mr. Sonntag with the great refractor of the Dudley Observatory. Its elements have been approximately determined, and aro found to rosemble those of the second comet of 1793. In case future investigation prove them to be the same, the period of revolution would be about sixty-six aud a half years, or some fraction of this quantity; It is now in the constellation Auriga and its approximate place : 11.

As far as we have heard, it com* meitced near Watkinsville and extended to the Apalachee. The crops were com pletely riddled. Judge Peter W. Hutch inson has shown us a stalk of corn from his plantation, which was a curiosity.— His cotton is also destroyed. His loss around isahout five thousand dollars. Mr. James P.

It is the iutenton of :■ the farmers to plow up their cotton and plant in corn. Mother awl Child. —The greatest paint ers who have ever lived have tried to paint the beauty of that simple thing, a mother with her babe—and have failed. One of them, U.'iffaclle by name, to whom God gave the spirit of beauty in a measure in which he never gave it, perhaps, to any other man, tried again and again, for years, painting over and over that simplo sub ject—the mother and her babe--and could not satisfy himself. Each of Iris pictures, is most beautiful—each in a different way;. and yet none of them is perfect. There is more beauty iir that simple every day, sight than he or any man could express by his pencil and his colour. And vcj it iis a sight which we see every. o,ay.— * ChaiTrt NUMBER 24-
