Fur ihe Planters’ Weekly.
Dear “Weekly :
Having a little leisure I have concluded
to let you hear from me, and give you the
news of our beautiful and flourishing town,
and of things generally. I shall mite
what may perhaps be termed a •‘medley.’’
I commence then by saying that m i
lovely Madison, is as neat as ever and its
good citizens, are in the enjoy ment id
gIM >d health.
Both of our Female Colleges are now
open, and one of them, I ant informed,
with a more flourishing and promising
prospects than on any former oecasibh,
this is the Methodist while toe Baptist
have rot quite so many in numbers. Yet,
they hope to increase, until they shU, as
io former days, vie with their* brother, J
would say this to all who wish to send
their children Daughters, to good Schools,
where they can obtain a r%m/>fr/e Educa
tion, that the town of Madison affords as
” -•lilies as any, now in our noide
goo m„. .. ia | Colleges, we
State, aside from rue ,7
| have good Male Schools. The . a l! "~ 1
! Male Academy is under the charge of C. i
B. Barrow, Esq., a native tieorginii. a |
nan well calculated to give the Solis, of i
the citizens of Georgia, a good Georgia j
education,'which at this day and time is a
disiilcratum indeed. In conclusion then
of this part of my medley, let me any to
all those that wish to send their children
to a good, neat, nice, hnr.llhy Town, to
Educate, them, no town on earth affords
greater facilities, the citizens are kind
generous, the men clever, and the. Wimin,
—till me, 1 wish that 1 could give them
that meed of praise, tlyit is due them, hut
I have not time now, besides I purpose at
nn early day dedicating to them, A tribute
of respect and esteem that w ill gush from
a heart overflowing with greatfallnrsxfor
their kindness to me. and for what 1 know
they are. Io ail that know them, and that
they think worthy of kindness.
1 am Imppy to inform vonr readers, that
we have a fair prospect of having our
Rail Iload built, speedily too* from Imre
to Oriflin and when we get this, thru vo
will ! n Eatonto'i mad and then n
a few years. “In- know but that we iv.ll
have .. Rad Road from heir to ike ii| pei
povli nos Gc igia. through Jackson liall,
Habersham and other counties, then we
will have cliinquopines, and chesnuts.
cheap, chickens and eggs in abundance,
and then w e will have our town incorpor
ated, and changed into a city like old
Grcenesboro, certainly it having ore Fac
tory built in your town, caused you nil to
make so much money and increase the
population of your town, so as to make you
a city, that we can when we get all of our
Rail Roads done, be made a city also.
The Factory you ail had though was an
extraordinary one, and enriched many of
the citizens of yo.tr county besidestlio.se
of the cilv. >ve bad one iieie. but if did
not quite make us a eit*\ yet I think it
was talked of, but oneugli • f ihistlie Books
of subscription, for ti.e R.di Road from
here to Griffin are now open, and there is
no doubt hut in two years the cars will
tun from this point ly Indian Springs to
Griffin, this l witli many others behove, as
the project is met and supported by men -
competent to the task.
In regard to politics, l must give you
an item cr two, and here Mr. Editor allow
me to digress for one moment, I know
your paper ts not a political paper, nor do
1 intend to write a political article, yeti
must give you a few items, in politics 1
believe in a man being as honest as lie. is
aboit his religion, and at this time lam
siturded politically very much like lam
religiously, nuw sir,in regard to uligion
I beiie.ve in being liberal, 1 cannot say
that there is or.e ocnominatioii 1 like bel
ter than another, why should 1 when I
believe that thete is good men m alf
churches/ I litheve this, that Jesus
Christ established hut one church upon
earth, and 1 do not believe that ti.cro is a
man living that can prove it,at the ba
vour ever e.tatilisiit and a Baptist, a Metho
dist, Presbyterian or any other sectional
church, no, he established none bill his
own, the chunk of Cirrus', auu there
should be none other now upou the eaitli,
*>ow in regard to politics, 1 believe there
be but one paity, that party should
be as t-.P founders ot our government
were, a party et u**ii tl*a. looks, to the
happiness autl interest of gWheratwns that
are to follow, but alas! aki* I ! alas!!!
an. bit ion reus wild, tnl men do any Mid
every tiling to carry then points, they u&c
all kinds of arguments, ail sorts ot strati- j

questions for the purpose only, of seif ng

I with her thiity two millions ot hmiiau be
i ings, so they cling to a plank, and laud
upon s'. ore, were 1 a politician, aud, 1
found y 1 had inane an erur, and advocated
wrong doctrine*,doettiue, adverse to the in
terest of my country. 1 should humbly
confess it, this would be in my judgment
j magnanimous, and a mark ot btatesuiau
| ship, (unknown however at this day and
time.) Mr. Editor, the law ot our country
I is plain, so lar as constitutional Lw is con
cerned. The constitution us tho* Ltilled

change it, it will be damaged indeed, it
will sink, to oblivion it is now perfect and
grants me protection wiin my property,
(negroes incltnb and) w herever. itr flag floats,
and tlie individual that molests me, should
be punished and the mail that would
screen him from punishu ent, is unworthy
the name ~t an Ameiicin ci'izeu, no man
with a speck of souse, will dare deny that
every com premise, that has ever been
made, has been detrimental to the South
ern States, the fugitive slave law is one of
the greatest humbugs that this nation lias
witnessed since its formation, do you ask
for proof? I answer that some ten ora
dozen States by their legislative capacity,
have made it a crime for any man, to even
assist the owner of slaves, to endoavoi to
reclaim them, this 1 call nullification in
its most hideous form, in conclusion ther.
of my degression, I will say that if 1 nn
deiataud the constitutional law ir protects
me in the terriiniiea of the United States
witli my negro propi-r'y. up to the very
last moments oj its territorial ex,stem e,
this 1 am credibly informed, tiie
lion A. H. Stephens, admitted a few
I nights l,is L, this, no
I s 1 , ‘“ii]ln me can deny, yet

j tiler, is a man tciuiea n,

rtipt show. null, and having the audacity to
ask Southern iiieii to support him fertile
highest oflico in our government, does in
sist, that the people ot all territories are
Sovereign, and can do as they please, I
hope, for an illustration of the Gents posi
tion that some.ot our tenitoiies will try to
unite themselves with England or France,
then we will see if they arc sovereign,
t: cv c m do this with the same propriety
that they can diive me from their hoideig
with my negroes. But enough of this, 1
piotmsed to give you some items political
ly and let tne people know how each
limn ot the, three candidates Smith were
t>ettiiig on, Bell, Bieckenri.lge and Doug

however that ti e B ii men have liie m

taken, cant say that 1 care much if I am,
I think that Uouglas is. and will be the
hindmost man in the race, in this county,
I hope, so; I wish you could see some ot
the signs id enthusiasm for tlie different
favontes, you see a Douglas man getting
letters witli a portrait ot the Giant on the
envelope, and on their paper, then we have
some us the Bell men, that are so much ex
cited and so Zealous in the cause of tiieir
man that they go over town ringing all the
tn-ils they can find, and it they hint a mail j
with t t- h asl Bi ll metal in him, 1 ti 11 you !

In ai o tliioii) tti4i joy ful sound now Mr.
E ’.loi. I can pioVi* Itiat the Beil eiilhllsl
asm inns to its highest pitch, and 1 do not
think you will waul any greater proof,
when 1 tell you that wo havo a good old
pious Melhodibi Brother, some sixty years
of age I tbinK. that has taken to wearing
jewelry, yea sit. this good old man actu
ally docs wear a breast pin with Bell and
Everett’s pictures in it, and he wears it
m-arthe place too, where the mainspiing
of Ins existence vibra’es, right close to his
heart, now bii 1 presume yon are aware
that tins iteuimiiuation ot Christians, are
opposed to wearing jewelry. miU all l fear
is that it my good tdu quaiutain lets some,
of the Bishops id Ills Council see him with
this use rati o about his p< ism,, that in,
will have t,. answer a charge, mat <d vio
lating toe Di cipiiiie. But tlii-re is hut one
way in tins world to get that piece id jew
rliy. from him, that is. tor Beil or Everett
to join the Democracy, then Bir any man
could buy a first chop of a bargain, yes Bir
what now seems to him, pure gold, would
appear as brass, yes Bounding brass, worth -
less indeed.

“The first time of separation would not

‘•Site IVorks i'or a Living.'’
Commend us the gnl of whom it is

You who are looking for wives and com

who work for a living, ami never—our
word for it —will you repent your choice.
You want a substantial friend, and not n

industrious and pruildut woman for a wife,
took one from the fashionable stock, and
is now lamenting’his f"l!y in dust, and

More Sleep,
W e have rend a statement, written by
Dr. Wimlship, - tha “strong man,” who
recently lectured at tlie mirth, of rules, by
tin, ohservanei* of which he obtained his
remarkable , tri-ngth aud muscular power.
I'd one of these rules in particular, as he
iag that which men are most pione to vio
late, vve wish to call special attention.—
Ihe D> ct,,r says lie takes ten hours slec|
out of twenty-four, and he advises every
body to take at least eigat hours rest nigl t
ly. \Ye are convinced that most of the ill
hivilth iu the community is due to lack of
slfctip more to than any other cause. Rap
idity us anting, lack of exercise, heaitd
looms, over anxiety of mind, and otln
anises, con ti bate to the ill health and
abhrevitaed lives of our city pope * ion,
out tin, going to bed too late and Using to-,
early we believe to he. productive of mere
sickness an i premature deaths than any ~i
these or all of them combined. Dr. Hall,
ui his Journal of H alth, concurs lullv
with Dr Wiiidship ns to the necessity’ i,i
longer sleep tlinn the majority of men al
low themselves. Indeed we know of no
iespeo."'nodical sanction fnrshortening
the teiin to siT of Revolt hours.
VYe know very many me.” who are rare
ly in bed before jniduight, yet ai'e a.;‘ ,a ys
tip by six o’clock in the morning.’ Such
men arc exhausting their vital force, pre
maltuvly. They never can reach tlie lim
it ot three sore years and ten. much less
live far beyond it, as almost every man
may by taking care of himself.
Becfpliou.
Lok here, young man ! Would yon
ca-ry a frank, open honest countenance /
then never attempt to deceive. Would
von think well of yourself, and have oth
ers to think well of you ? you can not if
you practice deception. Barents, wculj
you have your children respect, love, and
‘venerate you ? then never deceive them.—
Children, it you would make your parents
unhappy and effectually destroy their
confidence it. you. then try to hide your
little tricks and misdemeanors from the
“old mat! and woman.’’ You think you
can doit, do you ? “Lay not this flatter
ing unction to yotn soul;” they are far
more observing than you take them to be.
Y’ou are well aware that they suspect you,
aud can you hear to he suspected by the
deaiest friends you have on earth I We
can not think much of those whom we
would deceive, even though they might he
our parents.
Oh, bow mean and contemptible is de
ception, even in the most trifling matter!
and no one can be guilty of it without show
ing it in his countenance. Y’es. the face is
an index of the mi.id to t'>ose whoso in
tuitions are not blunted.
The close or careful student of nature!
vends hisfellow men like a book, even from|
external configuration. Then would you
benevolent, merciful, kind, pure and cheer
ful ; be so, and your fellow-men will soon
find you out and give you due credit.
Sittcpius in Church,
The habit of sleeping in church ilyring
the service wlrch, we are sorry to say, is
indulged in to n considerable extent by
some of onr church-goers, is a souice ot ni

and uothi.iig damps tlie. vivacity of a preach

never to io; suffered to enter a church.

A gentleman who has just retornetl

his wardrobe consists mainly of two red

followed during weeks of his intercourse
with his American friend. It is this self
abnegation, this moral consistency, this
noral consistency, this absence of preten

espeted by tbo masses. The presscon

Crinoline. —Few persons imagine the
extent of the trade in cinoline wire. For
about three years past, the eonsuii ption of
wire by the crinoline workes in this countiy
has been not fat from one bundled tons
per week. The wire is of steel, and the
price has ranged from fifteen to thirty cents
per pound. At the average—twenty two
cents —the yearly consumption amounts to
two million four hundred and sixty-four
thousand dollars. A few months since,
the orders to first hands greatly diminished
and fears were apprehended by the wire
markers that the harvest was over. But
the lull was caused by an overstock iif the
hand of the crinoline makers, who had or
.dered ton freely. At present, the demand
is a active as ever, and prices are advan
cing. Ti e lu> is will I e surprised to know
lmw much this part of their .trees costs ia
the aggregate, and to think what a weight
they carry.— Exr.htinge.
