In no situation, and under no circumstances, does the female character appear to such advantage as when watching beside the bed of sickness. The chamber of disease may, Indeed, he said to he wo man's home. We there behold her in her loveliest, most attractive point of view—firm, without being harsh; tender, yet not weak; active, yet quiet; gen tle, patient, uncomplaining, vigilant. Every sympa thetic feeling, that so peculiarly graces the feminine character, is there called forth; while the native strength of mind, w hich has hitherto slumbered in inactivity, is roused to its fullest energy. With noise- J leas step she moves about the chamber of the inva- j lid-—her listening ear ever ready to catch the slight- i .*t murmur; her quick, kind glance, to interpret the j miuttered wish, and supply the half formed want. , She smooths with careful hand the uneasy pillow whib supports the aching head, or with cool hand i.oothes the fevered brow, or proffers (p the glazed and parching lips the grateful draught, happy if she meet one kind glance in payment of her labor of love. IK-re, too, is the low whispered voice, which breathes oflife and hope—of health instore for happy days to come; or tells of better and of heavenly rest, ! where neither sorrow nor disease can come -where the dark power of death no more shall have domin ion over the frail, suffering, perishable clay. Through the dim, silent watches of the night, w hen all around are hushed in sleep, it is here to keep lone vigils, and to hold communion with her God, and silently lift up her heart in fervent prayer, for the prolongment of a life for which she cheerfully sacrifices her own And even when exhausted nature sinks to brief re pose, forgetfulness is denied Even in sleep she ‘• ms awake to this ora- great object of bet- cate - She starts and rises from her slumbers, raises her •trooping head, watches with dreamy eye the face du loves, then ‘ink-, again to rest, to stan with e\. •'! • hime of clock or distant sound, which formerly had passed unh**atd, or only nerved as a Itillub-i to tit r Sweet sleep.

Daniel, for papers scot to his address uV till: V AND THE lO.VsTJTI’TIU.VUIVJ. Wo do not know when we have been more amus-1 o<l, than while wo were reading an editorial com- : men! in the Constitutionalist A Republic, upon an] answer made by Mr. Overby to a question propound- i ed to him while speaking in Waynesboro. The j question was, “What would ho do if elected Govern-! or, and Congress should refuse to admit Kansas into| the Union, because she was a slave State?” Mr. j Overby answered an follows: “He had not thought much about the matter be-1 fore —but if lie were elected Governor, and this eon-1 lingerie) were io happen, hr j'miht try and do the - efry hrnt he coo/./, under all the rirrumntanres. He ! would pray to God for assistance—ho would consult ’ the old men of both parlies—he would not consult! young men; and by the light of the counsel which j he should receive, he would endeavor to do the host) he could.” The Editor then makes the following comment: j “Prayer is a good thing in its place, and is very j appropriate in a time of political peril. Hut the eon- 1 tingem-y above suggested, would involve a state of! facts past praying lor. At least, the people of Geor- j gia will need a Governor who has some definite opin- 1 ions, and will he prepared for some definite course of action, ft will be a time when the counsel and the! services of ti e young men, as well as the old, will j be desirable.” When we first read the account of the meeting in j Waynesboro, we were struck with the similarity he-; tween it, and an account given in the New Testa- 1 ment. It commences thus: ‘‘Then went the Phari sees and took, counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. And they sent unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, .Master, we know that thou ,ot true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man : for thou regardest not the person of men.” This is the way the politi cians talked at first aliout Overby. But this account goes on to say, after the Pharisees had asked a ques tion, “hut. Jesus perceived their wickedness and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hyjairrites That last ord, “hypocrites,” is remarkably suggestive in this con nection, and Overby could very appropriately have asked his inquisitors the same question. We learn that after Jesus had answered their questions j “when they had heard these words they marveled, j ‘andleft him, and went their way,” and, we have noj j doubt, told a good many lies about the way the (pies-1 J lions were answered, thus making another point, of j ! similarity between Pharisees and Politicians. The next thing that engaged mu- attention, in the I editorial comment, was the dimming ignorance of’ politician; in reference to the efficacy of prayer. We j did not know before, ihai any “contingency ciaild i involve a slate of feels past prating for.” We were} under the impression, that in all circumstances, I when all other means had tailed, prayer was the last; resorr. We have alway, thought that “it is never j too hill to pray , ’ and when human agency can ac complish the least, then is tin* greatest necessity for pi A) er. But we are now blessed with a “new light on the “efficacy ot prayer, and following the guidance ot this light, we would recommend praying people to quit spending their breath so foolishly, and in any emergency relv upon Johnson and the Democratic party to bring them through safely, lit ordinary case - , w hen there is nothing mueh u( stake, {the oi/ivif.io* at fAe.mii/, „r noon thing at that *,:rti \ we suppose there will he no objection to prayer, but! when important interests arc concerned, (the election I tg tioh mar,jar iimtniici) it would be better to “pay tour vows to Johnson and worship the Democracy \\ here is the agent of the Tract Society? But the most lamentable part of this comment is i the - CHreel) concealed sneer -it Mr Overby's reli gion. What was there in Mr. Overby’s answer to! (-all forth a sneer? Is it weakness in a man to call j I tor aid, in any trial, upon Him who holds the “storing J jin his fists,” and the “waters of the ocean in his| j j mint zltit is weak, George Washington vvnsj i weak, for he prayed tor the success of tin .American I arm. If it is weak, then thousands of the best, no- ■ •'lest and wisest men that have ever lived and tiles- j ed the hitman race, have been weak. It this is eon-i j eidered i- an evidence of weakness in onr candidate, then we, in company with thousands of Christians i , and patriots in Georgia, rejoice that Overby is weak. ; YYe rejoice that one man can be tbund, who can l ja candidate, and not sell liimseil, body .and soul, to the Pi nice ot Darkness —• w ho has the inor.il heloism, Mo acknowledge in a public speech the God that ! made him, and invoke his assistance.

Soon after she arrived at the church and during tike sermon, the little boy came running up hastily, and whispered to his mother, who was sitiing near tin door, “Mammy, the sheep head’s butting the dumplings out.” The old lady not wishing the in formation known to the congregation, winked at the boy to hush, lie not understanding the signs, whis pered a little louder, “Mammy, the sheep head’s but ting the dumplings on*The old lady repeated her nign.i, but the boy not appreciating her sensibility, and tearing the los of his dinner, exclaimed in an audible voice, ‘T'ome, Mammy, there’s no use wink ing or blinking, for I tell you the sheep head in hat ting the dumplings out.” So, at first the people whispered to the politicians that these prohibitionists were doing harm, but the leaders knew that silenee was the best remedy, so they rritiM and hi inlet/ at the movement. But when we nominated a candidate, and he was endors ed by another convention, and is growing more pop ular daily, the papers and politicians are getting alarmed about the loaves and fishes, and cry out loudly, it is no use to “wink or blink,” for these fel lows will take off votes, arid Overby will interfere with our candidates. We have no doubt, that either party would be w illing lo give us our measures ao,r, | if we would give them their man. * POLITICAL (PINES. It has been a mooted question tor a long Lime, whether the “ man made the crisis, or the crisis made the man.” However, this question may be de cided, it is very generally conceded that political cri ses are always made by politicians. But if there is any doubt as to the truth of the proposition, we would have only to refer to the history of our own State for the past few months, to become, thoroughly convinced. A few months ago and our people were getting a long “ pretty much after the sarin- old fashion," — in fact manifesting considerable indifference as to the state of Polities—such an indifference as always proves destructive- to the. hopes of office-seekers, — when suddenly the tocsin of alarm was sounded—an “awful crisis” was upon us before we were fairly awake. We were told if the “honest yeomanry”— the “ bone and sinew,” did not arouse themselves from their position of false Security, that otir country was in danger, that the fatholics had stolen our life boat, and the pesky foreigners- were “ Imring holes” in the bottom of the old ship of State. Some of the crew on board of this excellent old vessel, who had never witnessed a Pol it Ira! Storm, were terribly frightened, and began to swear and prat at a terri ble rate. But the officers who had been managing the old eraft for the past two years, and were fa miliar with such storms, told the passengers that it was all a false alarm—that these fellows who were getting up this storm were simply wreckers, who de sired to plunder the ship, and that every patriot was in duty bound to keep them off Now amidst all the noise and excitement which each party is condemning in unmeasured terms the policy of the other—when every stump orator is constructing a “ man of straw,” to be demolished with a “ flourish of trumpets,"—and waving of hats, and stamping of feet—-when so much bad English is employed in “piling up the agony” about the “aw ful crisis” that is now- threatening our beloved coun try, it I .-hooves thinking men ot all parties to inquire into th. sc- things, and find out the true state of af fairs. Are the Catholics about to destroy the gov ernment 1 ’ Is there half the danger that Know No thing leaders pretend? Arc the Democrats right, when they tell us that the Know Nothings will do us loon- harm than foreigners and Catholics combin ed ? Now every thinking man knows that all these points are exaggerated, that each party misrepre sents and vilifies the other, that the interest mani fested by leaders of the questions of the day is most ly pretended, and that the zeal and enthusiasm em ployed in stump speeches is gotten up for political purposes. If these things are so, (and every candid man will admit it,; where is the itense of all this excitement, that not only doe 1 not profit, the people, but is fie, i dodlv injurious in many respects ? What reason is there in thus growing excited over imaginary evils, when real evils stare ns in the face? While we are fighting these political phantoms the monster In temperance stalks through the land, unrestrained, unmolested— the most relentlots foe to human happi ness that has ever v sis; cd. While we are carrying on this sham fight against enemies, of straw, con structed by politicians to irritate the public mind, Alcohol Is doing its work of death and destruction upon helpless women and children. While we arc running after political leaders, and preparing to meet “awful crises, ” this demon enters our homes, and desolates our hearthstones. How long will it be be fore the people will see the folly of their eour.-e, and turn their attention to this great eat evil that curses our race? * t NKH IYV K.VFIO.V.

In or s tee,l- Having been detained at this place, by uncontrollable circumstances, mueh longer than I had anticipated, and being loathe lo leave so de lightful a retreat any way, I give you a short communication from the Springs. I write, simply to relieve myself from the merited censure which would fall upon me for the notice I made of the par ty at this place, had it been made under the pres ent circumstances. There have been accessions to the female ranks since I last wrote, which, hadl neg leetctl to mention, (as I did, from the fact that they were not here,) would have been sufficient ground upon which to charge me with inability to judge of female excellence. There are several others whom I neglected to mention from the fact that l was not acquainted with them, and I make it a feature in my nature never to judge of a person, whether in appear ance or ability before forming their acquaintance, tor my good old <1 mint-Mother used to teach me that old proverb that “ pre-tty in an pre-tty doe* } n and it has become so far interwoven in my nature as to control me in forming an opinion of the human spe cies. I arn not one of your weak-minded, frail spec imens of mortality, bowing the knee of humility, and “ humble supplication,” before the shrine of *- beauty,” and sacrificing upon its altar, talent, ’ knowledge, and intfuenee, and 1 may say, eauc nf \ soul. I very reluctantly admit, however, that beauty 1 wields the sword of power in this our day. The la-! dy of symmetrical features, bewitching eye.-, raven j hair, and a nice set of teeth, attracts, and fastens the j adoration of “ Voting Americans,” with double the! force that magnatized steel does sic.-l shavings, when ! a De Staol, a t.’aroline Lee Hentz, or a t ‘orrinne in : genius, are passed as common place women. Oh!: what an error! Let me sit before a lady for whom 1 nature has not done much in legat'd to personal ap- 1 pearance, and listen to rich sentiments gushing forth from that homely mouth, see hrillianey of intelleet illuminating the feature of that <igh/ face, and spark ling from those eyes, though the rays from them may cross each other, (cross eym,) see native-born genius actuating the mind to noble and dignified themes, and she at once becomes a “paragon of per fection,’’ assuming the appearance of a ministering j angel sent to gladden the hearts of men. Lotus; see exhibitions of that subduing love which God has j implanted in her bosom to east man’s remembrance ! into a forgetfulness of woman’s first great frailty, i and we then, and not till then, yield ourself to the | influence of her charms. But yon perceive, no doubt, ; that 1 am digressing from my prime topic, but this J popular folly so engrosses nty mind (hat I might j dwell upon it until 1 tilled a volume. To return to the ladies at the Springs. After wri I ting my first article, many excellent ladies were add- j ed to the party. Old ’Tennessee furnished many ; more, specimens ho deserve all the praise, honor, t and glory that fallen Woman is entitled to; among | them is Miss Spence, Mis- Ghildreth, and .Miss Bang, : (she is a Hang-\\\> lady ) from Murfreesboro; Miss Chedam, Miss Foul, and the Misses Morgan, of Nashville, all of whum we consider in all candor su- j perior anti elegant ladies. Many more delightful i young ladies from ditl’erent porticos of our State have arrived since I last w rote —as they are ah well know n j in Georgia, we will simply give their initials; among j i them are Miss I)., Miss I'., Miss ('., Miss B. and Miss) i S., of Macon, all of whom art- worthy of all admira- I tion, and inferior to none. We hate to see the time I j come for us to leave, for it is seldom we ever meet i with such an elegant, genteel, and social set of peo ple We can but say in conclusion that the Catoosa Springs is a nice place, or in other words, a e-rent I country.

My little boy standing by, hearing the conversation, and not being asked to drink, thought, 1 suppose, he would not be slighted, and when we had stepped aside, went to the barrel and drank as much of the poison as he could hold. Finding him, soon after, perfectly prostrated, J laid him in my wagon nml asked him some questions, blit he only looked up and unconsciously smiled. 1 asked if he had not been drinking that mean stuff in the barrel, but his breath only answered in the affirmative, and his counte nance seemed to say, ‘but it i- nothing more than t saw you do.’ The physician told me to carry him home, and alter he had gone the regular course of a drunken man, he .-opposed that would be all of it But it did not appear so; he was delirious that night, but I soothed my wife by telling her that 1 thought he would vomit soon, and ‘that w ill be all of it;’ but I was mistaken, thu next morning violent spasms came on, and before the Doctor could be had, a mile and a hall being (he. dustance to Iti.s office, my littic boy had sunk into his final repose.

To-day, Mr. Overby, the temperance candidate for Governor, addressed quite, a concourse of the citi zens of our village and country, and the impression made by hi- arguments were favorable beyond aIL reasonable conception.- It was remarked by a Web jfer Whig- Constitutional Union Southern Rights • —-Johnson Democrat, “That the only means of go lfing around Overby’s speech, is to shut both eye and jump over.’ This, indeed, a great many will do lor tin- purpose of holding on to old party name.- ! and old affiliations. This, indeed, many will do, con -1 trarv to the dictati sos patriotism, of Christianity, of justice, and of right. Yes, many, indeed, will jump over —may even consign a much loved son to a pr mature if not an ignominious death, and cause the hearts of helple-- innocence to bleed at every pore It would be out of place to recapitulate the many occurrences of this kind, as I am satisfied that there iis not a man in Georgia that can trace his lineage back for a few generations and find that he has not ■ been injured in some- way ot other by liquor. Mr Overby desired if there wa.- a man before him who : had never been injured bv it that ho might rise to hi ’ feel—he waited (o see him —had yet to see the first ! one.
