The selection is a good one. The Darien Gazette predicts that Gov. Colquitt will be a candidate for re-election in 1860, and no one cun beat him. The In dependents will try to do so, but will full.

A tnoet unfortunate selection. The editor of the Herald eidxr know* nothing, or bus forgot te«, the coutee of Gov. Brown at tbe Cto«e of the war.

Kvery obliga ti> n is met with ‘spot cash’ in advance of its ma'urify. The State Treasurer recently passed through here from a visit to New York, where he wn<i offered all the money he wanted at 4 and 5 per cent. Georgia ia now flow tine a 4 per cent, loan at par. 'l’he hood* ate five and ten doi ! are, with coupon* attached, calling for interest at 4 per cent Bhe is the first State in the Union to firm! a loan at par at this low rate of interest. Sinee the war *he rate of taxation has been five ruilla o> ah ve, whieh has kept her credit up to a hish plane. Besides, theStateowns the Western and Atlantic Railroad, running from Chattanooga to Atlanta, 138 mile*, which pays a ren'al into the treasury at the rate of one thousand dollar* a day. The completion of the Cincinnati Southern Road will nearly double the value of this property and make it worth fight or ten million* of dollar*, a sum equal to tbe entire debt of Georgia.” The above, taken from a prominent Ohio journal, will be read with pride by every Georgian. There was a time when such thirg? could not be said with truth. Under the administration of Bullock the credit el the State was at a low figure Profligacy stealage, and general dishonesty among those in power nearly ruined the good old State But when, in a fit of desperation, the pcsple made one superhuman effort to shake < ff this paralysing incubus, and succeeded, a most gratifying change took plaeg. With tbe inauguration of Dernocratie rule came con fidence ; with confidence came a revival of tbe varied industries in the State ; and with these enme back, in part, the good name of Georgia. Illegal bonds were thrown aside, but tbe honest and just obligations cf the Slate were promptly recognized. Wallstreet opened its eyes ; those who held legal elaims became easy ; and now •‘the credit ol Geor gia stands pre-eminent I” Far different would he the case had the Radicals continued in power. Her credit would have died, her good name departed, and one of Ibe grandest members of the fam ily of sovereignties boon the butt of ridicule the world over. Bat a kind Providence watched over Georgia. Her loving children gathered about her. Those wha, in the childhood of the nation, appeuling to heaven for the rectitude of their intentions, pledged “their live*, their fortunes, and their sacred honor” in its defense, were not more earnest in their purpose or exalted in their devotion to the Stale as it stood on the verge of ruin. As wise counsels and prudent action began to prevail, tbe star of hope once more shone bright and clear. Honor took the place of dishonor ; capable, faithful men displaced those destitute of every qualification to go*aM mt administer tU law. A oneness of feeling, a unity of purpose, was dominant, and now Georgia's name stands out More the world in all its pristine glory—proud, peerleM, grand. Laborers Comino.—ln view of the fact that many planters in Southwest Georgia have had great diffi.'iilly in obtaining hands to work this year, efforts arc being made to secure kelp Irom Florida. The Albany Advertiser say*: Some of our planters seem to hnTe con aid. rable trouble in procuring field hands for the present year, and have been going and sending to Florida for them. One of our prominent farmers arrived with a squad from Tallahassee last Monday. The trouble with the negroes ol this eeciioo seems to be that too many of them want to rent land and farm ta themselves. TRAMrs.— How to get rid of these nuis ances, dangerous as they sometimes are, is becoming an important question in some lo calities. The Conyers Examiner prescribes a remedy which it will cost but little to try, and may be efficacious : "A good way (or our council to rid Con yers of the festive tramp, when caught beg ging around town, would be to have him arrested and fine him two or three dollars, or so many days an the streets. He will of course choose the latter, and the first oppor tunity you give him be will “skip ’’ and with a feeble effort on the part of the Marshal to capture him, he will make his escape never to return.” A Rebuxr—The Wesleyan Christian Ad vocate very pointedly rebukes the secular prese for its flippant allusions to divine things in connection with men inofficial life Tbe censure is timely. Too often these impious expressions are indulged in by per sons wbo profess to be in tbe same class with those at whom the flings were made ; and tb#n, too, they can be justified on no moral ground. Ths practice is * bad one, and thou Id not be indnlged is. Y\ hat is known as tbe Mitchell cotton claim, now before tbe Senate., is for cotton seized by tbe Federal army in its march through Georgia, the proceeds of which, about $128,000, went into tbe United States Treasury.

A letter from Washington to the firming Post, of New York, describes the House of Representatives a? a very impressive body. It was not necessary for the writer to *av that it was his first visit to the Capitol, j should like to read a letter of his, written with 'he same frankness and honesty, aftir the Hose of this short session I should want him to fm present in the gallery during » row and to attend all th* night sessions and the closing ceremonies. I should want him al«o to keep his eye on certain members ! should name If he is attentive fie will see number* murine drunk once in n while ; he will *re dozen* of member-* squirting tubuc< o juiee over carpets that cost st> a yard ; he will see score* of members smoking in the chamber during the sitting; he will see members stretched out on the sofas asleep, and he will hear them snore; he will see members wiih both feet on their desk, sitting on their backbone; he will see members munching apples while attending to the public business ; he will see occasionally a memhar with his boot off, easing his corns, «nd he will see much elre that will detract somewhat from his description of an impres sive body A few ye.ira ago a member from oae of the Southern States, now happily out of putilic life, was in the habit during the sittings of the House of tak'ng out his false teeth and wiping them on his coat sleeve and picking them with his finger nail Another member was in the habit of combing his h.fir with a fine-tooth comb while listening to speeches lie was very tidy about it, and always spread a newspaper on his desk to prevent soiling it with thv result of his la bors. A member of the House from Keu tucky at tne close ol last session went into (lie committee room of appropriations, took off his boots arid stockings, perched him self on the hack of a chair and proceeded to wash h s feet in the marble wash ba*in. One thing may be said of him, however, he wa« a member of the committee. Heveral other members wire present whose stomachs were turned, and one member, Mr. Hewitt, In,iked at the Kentuckian for a moment, and be tween ins teeth uttered the word “d imnation” and bolt'd from the room. This member was d> feuted for re-election, and it is said that his habit of occasionally washing his flit was what defeated him. Mis eonaiitu ents did not w»nt their member to wa-h his feel and Ira lace in the same ha-in There are many strange people in Washing on One of them is a brother of a distinguished general in the urmy.

The floors of his rooms ure covered with tbe skins of white bears, black bears, tigers, wolves, leopards, foxes, and other animals. This gentleman’s peculiarity is ia having a servant who never leaves eight of him. If he walks on the aveuuc Joe is somewhere behind him ; if he goes to church Joe watches in th«^, vesti bule ; if he goes to tbe theatre Joe wril be foond looking down opon him from the gallery ; if lie drives, Joe is alwttys at bis side. F\en the boys in the slreal are in the habit of watchiug for Joe whenever the muster is in sight. What if Joe should die? Washington Corr. Philadelphia Tunes. Preachers’ Salaries. There are a few dominies in the large cities who get large salaries for the services rendered the church. There is a prevailing opinion that ministers of the gospel get very limited pay. Home, however, contend that they are as well paid, as a class, ns any other class of men. We are confident that a few get by far more in proportion to the service rendered than any other class. Notably, of these, ia the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, of Brooklyn Tabernacle, New "York. He is paid a salary of $20,000 a year, for preach ing twice on Sunduys and presiding at the Friday evening prayer-meeting. Ha has a three months vacation every year, so tbe $20,000 are paid him for three w*rvices a week, or 108 in nine months. Hence you see he gets $185.18 for each time be ap pears before tbe public. In tbe same city, Brooklyn, R> v T. De- Witt Talruage gets a salary of $l2 000. He preaches twice on Sundays ami ha* a prayer* meeting. He lectures once a week and at tenfls a prayer-meetiug. He supervises the lory College, and visi*.a the Sabbath schools. Rev Morgan Dix, of Trinity Church, Nee York, gets a salary ol $15,000 lor ussuming the responsibility to ill* corpora tion for tbe entire jmrisli. He i 3 the discip linariun of (he parish, and preaches regular in Trinity Church. Dr. \\ illiani Taylor, the best Congrega lionalist orator in New York, gels $14,000. He preaches regulariy, lectures, presides at prayer-rueetiug, aud doe's much work for his church. Dr. R S. Stores, of the Church of Pil grims, gets $lO 000 salary. He preaches twice on Sunday, lectures and attends prayer-meetings and committee meetings. l)r. Cuvier oi Brooklyn, gels $B,OOO for principally pastoral services. Dr. Hall euros bis $l5 000 by th<* per formance of pastoral duties more tbuu preaching; be has classes of young tad res whom be instructs, and makes bis church attractive, thereby causing a full attendance by bis menrtiership.

There died one day last week, in this vi cinity, an aged and eccentric man unmed Alvin Harrison. He was about 73 years of age, and was a cousin of Kx-Pre*ident Har rison.

Ttii9 in cident so diagnsted Mr. Harrison with the fickleness of human natu'-e and civilization in gpneral that be turned bis back upon the world, preferring a home in the trackless wilderness and barren prairies to one in the bu9y haunts of refined life. Some 14 years ago he built him a log cabin and took np his abode in the Neosho bottoms, some three miles from town. His nearest neighbor at that time wos wiles away. He lived all alone, and subsisted on a scanty and un wholesome diet of spoiled bacon. The cabin was often and uncomfortable, while he was content with a simple pallet of straw. He drove a team poor, bony and dilapidated as himself, half starved and clothed in rope and string harness. He had an intelligent ex pression ol countenance, but went about scarcely clad in rags aud patrhes of >be lOurtarr fabrics; yet, in the midst o! filth and rags, he was recognized as a man übove average sense and < ducat local culture, which always brought him resfteciful deference (nun all It is said that, aside from hi property here, which consists of 320 acres of good land and soaie personal property, he owned valuable property iu Ohio.

Glam Clothing. ltmayseepia trans parent falsehood to state that people wear glass clothing, but this sort of apparel may yet cmne into use. Class would seem to be about the last thing to think of as clothing, bat it is nevertheless true that glass eloth is made in Germany. If people who live in glass bouses should not throw stones, it is to be hoped that bail boys clothed in gluss may give up their stone-throwing propensities, not to meutioa snow-bulling, and, ii so, the era of glass clothing will be hailed with pleasure. The following particulars of the process are translated for lire Detroit Frst Pr*m from the German ilevnihut by Her umu FraeuuS of that city : At Guadenfrei the artist and glass spinner. A Prengel ol Vienna, has establish' d his glass business, offering carpets, cuffs, collars, veils, etc., ol glass. He not only spins, but also weaves g ass before the eyes of the people. The otherwise brittle glass he changes mto pli able threads and uses them lor niukinggood, warm clothing. It sounds like a myth, but Mr. Prengel introduces certain ingredient, which are his Sictet, and thereby changes the entire nature of the glass. He has just finished a white, curly glass muff for a la-ty of St. Petersburg ; he charges foity thalers (#3O) for them Also ladies bats of glass with glass feathers A remarkable feature of this glass material is that it is lighter than feathers. Wool mads of glass cannot be distinguished from the genuine article. Mr. Piengei's glass inventions are something so extraordinary und u.-eful tor clothing, etc., as glass is a non-conductor, that it will probably cause an entire revolution in diess material.

Wbeo Dickens came te his house in 1846 the Major gracefully and hospitably ad dressed hirn thus while the usaemhled crowd looked on and listened with admiration akin to enthusiasm : - ‘Mr. Dickens, we are glad to welcome yon. We know you and sdmire yon, and will reckon it a privilege to be allowed to extend ro you the hospitalities of the metropolis of Kentucky.

A Rei.ioious Horse Race. — A church in Wisconsin finding its finances in that de plorable condition bordering on insolvency, and seeing the vuuitv of such expectations as arc built on the delusive hope of realizing from collections, decided to adopt the ‘'boss race,” not < xactly as a means of grace, the most feasible plan for gathering lucre wherewith to pay debts and defray inciden tal expenses. A nags were entered, the people turned out en masse, and the gate money was enough to make a noble contri bution to the treasury of the Lord. In short, the scheme was a pronounced success finaa daily, but it disrupt'd the church. Deacon Hines got angry because his horse Was beaten by Deacon Hall’s mare.

Mrs, Senator Brpcr ye-terday, says the Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, put the social prob'em to the test. It appears that among the ladies of the Riggs House one of the fashionable hotels, two of them called at Mrs Bruce’s residence some time ago and left their cards. All the ladies of the hotel teeeive on Monday to gether in the public parlor. Yesterday, when the reception was at its zenith, Mrs. Senator Biuce. accompanied by a lady friend as dutk as Erebus, were shown into the par lor. Singling nut the twain who had kindly left their cards with her, she engaged them in conversation some few minutes, and then left. The o her ladies thought the episode decidedly shocking—not so much that Mrs. Rruee had called, as the fact that she allowed her dusky friend to accompany her. She was too much “off” color to be squeezed through tony society, although the Senator’s bride is Deutly white. The Prince or Wales’ Sonumric Faith. —Of the Prince of Wains and Dr. Lyon Playfair it is told that they were once stafrd ing near n cauldron containing lead, which was boiling at white heat, "Has your Royal Highness any faith in science ?” said the doctor. ‘Certainly,” replied the Prince ‘•Will you place your hand in the boiling metal and ladle out a portion of i' ?” -Do you tell me to do thisT” asked the Prince. ‘‘l do,” replied the doctor. The Prince then ladled out some of the boiling lend with his hand without sustaining any injury. It is a well known scientific fact that the human hand may tie placed uninjured in lead boil ing at white-heat, being protected from any harm by the moisture ef the skin. Should the lead be ut a preceptibly lower tempera ture the effect need not he described. After this let no one underrate the courage of the Prince of Woles [advektisumknt.] A Card.
