PRISON OUTRAGE.
bn Sunday evening, about 9 o’clock, as
Sheriff Graham was leaving a cell of the jail of
this county, in which were confined Houk, the
mail robber, and a hqrse-thief, lie was violent
ly assaulted by the prisoners, the former of
whom succeeded in making his escape. The
slieriff turned to leave the cell, when Ho ik,
struck him a severe blow over the head with
part of a table frame. The slieriff turned upon
the prisoner, clinched him, and threw him
down. The horse thief then pulled him off of
Houk, who recovered his feet and his weapon,
and continued the assault u i h savage fury.
The door was cloced, and the key on the t u -
side. Leaving Graham to the tender mercies
of the other villain, Houk put his hands
t irough the grating of the door to get the key.
Mrs. Graham endetvorcJ from t ie passage to
prevent this; but, uf.er severely wounding her
hands, the rogue succeeded in his object, and
speedily opened the door. Alt three were soon
struggling in the passage—llouk efltc’Oil his
escape—but the horse-thief was held fast in
the gripe of the sheriff, until assistance arrived,
when he was secured and returned to his ce l.
The sheriff, we understand, is seriously in
jured, having been severely cut about the head
and face, and otherwise wounded. The des
perate Houk has not yet lieen arrested. Five
hundred dollars’ reward is offered ter his ap
prehension. He is about 22 years of age,
well dressed, and of rather ge..tool appearance
—live feet nine inches high.
Columbus, Ohio, Journal.
A machine has been invented, and patent
ed both in Europe and America, for removing
stains from Cotton, which promises to be of
immense advantage to the Southern States.
The patentee proposes to put or.e of the ma
chines in operation in New Orleans, which, if
successful, is to be purchased by a joint stock
company with-a capital of 8199,000. It is
calculated that 35,000 pounds of .Cotton can
Tie cleansed at an expense of 8300, the in
crease in the value of which, at throe cftrVs
per pound, world fee 81,050, thus affording a
very handsome profit.
Debtors and Creditors. —“ I have encoun
tered fraudulent debtors,” said the great Lo and
Mansfield, “but where I have encountered
one fraudulent debtor, I have met nine hun
dred fraudulent creditors.”
Running for Offire. —A fellow who was
seen hurrying along the streets in Milton late
ly, was asked what office he was running for?
“Squire Tuarp’s, by Jupiter I’m sued," was
the reply.
Pasture Land. —“ I say, neighbour Hodge,
'what are you fencing up that pasture for?
Forty acres of it would starve a cow !’’
‘Right,” replied Hodge, “and I’m fencing it
up to keep the cows out.”
Large Growth. —Tlie pine trees of Ne\y-
Hampshiro grow so high, that lightning can
never strike them mere than half way up.
Luxuriant Soil.- —There is A stalk, of corn
so high in Texas, .that the Government has
bought it for a light-house.

Vineville Academy—Mr. Mason’s Examina
tion.
, We think it due to the merits of the Vine
ville Male Academy, underthe direction of Mr.
M. M. Mason, to give a brief notice of its re
cent Examination. In such notices, commen
dation is usually held to be a matter of course.
YV hatever of praise is herein bestowed is but j
justly due to tlie industrious and able instruc
tor, in charge of this institution. From the
examination of the classes, we are satisfied
that Mr. M. has lies to wed groat labor U{*o£t
them—that he is devoted to tlie business of in
struction, and that his mode of teaching is ele
mentary and practical. An entire absence of
all drilling for the purposes of display, was
obvious. The class were examined, as they
recite, and were familiar with principles. Some
of the classes, and without disparaging otlers,
we mention the classes in English Grammar,.
Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Cicero and
Rlietoric, acquitted themselves eminently well.
We think Mr. Mason’s an excellent school,
wliere live studies common to our best acade
mies may be acquired ; and recommend it to
the public. The Examinations were closed
with an exhibition, consisting of declamation,
original speeches and dialogues in English,
Latin and Greek—highly creditable to the
Academy. e. a. nisbet, "J

THE READING ROOM OF THE MACON LIBRARY SOCIETY.
MACRON:
Saturday Morning, July ?, 1838.
The price of this paper has been changed
from Two to Three Dollars, in advance—
Four Dollars if not paid within the year.—
The paper will be furnished, the balance of
the year, at tlie former prices, to those who
have already subscribed.
| OZr The absence of our workman the greater part
of the week, is offered as an apology for the late ap
pearance of the Southern Post, to-day.
The Fourth of July
Was celebrated by our citizens in a becominir man
ner. The tribute due to the natal day of a great Nation
was duly paid with deserving honors. The Sabbath
School and Temperance Societies met early in the mor
ning at the Presbyterian Church, and were addressed
on the occasion by Washington Poe and Eugenius A.
Nisbet, E-qe. From thence, a large portion of the citi
zens moved to the Methodist Church, accompanied by
numerous of the fair and beautiful, and young of the
city, where the Throne of Grace was addressed by the
Rev Mr. Cassels, the Declaration of Independence read
by Dr. L. A. Bond, and an Oration delivered by Samuel
M. Strong. Esq. The two Volunteer corps likewise pa
raded ; the “ Macon Volunteers” at five in the morn
ing—the honors of the day were duly celebrnted by fir
ing salutes, suited to the occasion The “BibbCaval
ry” parpded at eight, with their new and beautiful Flag,
painted by O. B. Loomis, the Artist. The exercises of
the day passed off without that undue party excitement
which of latter years has been but too common.
We learn by a gentleman, just from Pike Coun
ty, that a most atrocious murder was committed on Sat
urday last, near Zebulon, by a man of the name of Por
ter, on the person of a Mr. Herd. The parties left Zeb
ulon together, peacably—both intoxicated. The cause
of this atrocious act lies yet in mystery. The murderer
has been apprehended, and is now in jail. Herd died
on Wednesday following.
r . \ Life in Macon.
Reader, you have often read of “ Life in New York,”
“ Life in London,” and life every wliere else, save per
haps in Macon. Not thinking it a subject unworthy
your attention, we will attempt, with our poor pencil, to
give you a sketch, not of what Macon has been, but
what it now. is, under all tlie depression, which no other
city has felt to a greater extent, in proportion to the in
terest involved. Macon is strictly and purely a com
mercial inland city, of an unprecedented growth. Fif
teen years ago, and the wild savage roamed free and
unmolested over the ground that now supports lengthy
rows of commercial houses, college edifices, banking
instirutions, large and commodious brick hotels, and
stately dwelling houses. These are the products of in
dustrious and energetic citizens who are not devoted to
pitiful pdf for self alone, but such as blend their own in
terest with the public good. But of this more, jierhaps,
in future. But, to life in Macon. Tlie history of a week
will be the history of the whole summer, that is the
summer of 1138, when money is so scarce and duns are
po plenty. Under a brighter sun, and more congenial
skies, (which now hover over A gloomily shine upon the
horizon of our prosperity) Macon would be the choice of
the whole state for a summer residence, both for health
& enjaymenc “Health,” says a recent writer, “issnqh
an inestimable blessing; it colours so highly the little
picture,of, life; it sweetens so exquisitely the small cup
of our existence; it ir.so like sunshine, in the absence of
which the world, with all its beauties, would be,.as it
once was, without form and void.” And where,shall
we.go to find more of this inestimable gift than we
have at home; the search would be fruitless, and on this
point we are satisfied. On “ the hill,” and in Vine vile,
we have pure air, wealth and beauty, three things
which very much adorn and smooth tlie rough passages
of life. And here, too, tlie sweet voice of music carols
sweetly on the evening air, greeting the car of the even
ing promenader, who is glad to escape from tlie noise
and bustle and dust of, tlie city, to brea(be, for .a mo
ment, tlie cooling breezes that spring fresh from the
groves, their resting places, or to bathe his brow in the
dews of heaven, as they lightly fail, or, wliat is better
still, to drink at Cowles’ Spring; as pure water as ever
bubbled from the bosom of the earth. Tltese are health
ful pleasures—healthful exercises, which no one need
fear indulging too much But we have been giving tine
bright side of the picture. The day in the city and
e vening in Vineville, or on the h 11, are two very differ
ent tilings. Monday morning, wc rise refreshed and
rginvigurated front the softening and sacred influence
.of the Sabbath. It is a day of rest indeed, and seems
to have been the seventh care of a wise Providence. It
is in accordance with all nature; the bru'e creation are
not exempt from. its infrueneg. It could never have
been tlie ordinance of man, hu wisdom and foresight
conld never have seen its uses, blinded as he is to a!',
but that which aggrandizes him. He never would have
thought that the spirk of man would inevitably have
been worn down without an occasional day of rest and
exemption from care. His knowledge would have ,
tauglg hiia that tlvis would rather impede his progress.
But, apart from tlie du ies of religion, and the healthful
exercise m the inin'L,in contemplating tlie Deify, jt has
its thousand n et. Monday morning, we rise
from its holy influence; we feel vigorous aud strong,
and determined to improve the passing week to great
advantage. But, breakfast over, aud the bustle coia
mei.jUfS. Yon rub |>y your friend, and he gtves you
tlie polite,d usinete-like, hurried bow. If you wish to
speak to him, you are repelled by the sternness and
deep thought that clouds his brow. He ia thi.ikjngabout
how to meet, perhaps * note in bank, perhaps an obli
gation to a friend, perhaps the demand of a northern
creditor, or, mayhap, he is involved by the loan of his
name to a friend, and is now brooding over tlie ways
and means of extricating himself Yau pass on and
meet others, and find tlie appearance of the first to be
an index to that of all the rest; thus Monday passes,
and nothing done, sere, perhaps, you have obstrvod a
few things which may he useful to you. R-tLer cold
comfort when, by the exertions of the day, you expect
ed to pay a note’or Relieve a friend, or negociate a loan,
wltich would relieve your embarrassments, for a time,
and enable you to go on smoothly for a few weeks
longer. But Tuesday comes, unbidden mayhap, by
some, and in the round of duties, you come in contact
with your friends; as on other days, “ a word with you”
comes from the relaxed brow of the stern one of Mon
day: “ Your name would materially assist me in a little
arrangement I am about making with the bank, will
you endorse this paper. You may rely upon me, when
occasion may require my services.’, ’Tis done. Wed
nesday—ah! the Wednesday in the past week, was an
oasis in the desert, a relief from duns—a bright Sabbath
of the week day; , a nation’s Sabbath; a general day of
res:; and thus, after naming it, wo pass it over. Thurs
day, as usual, until' business time of day- Thoughts,
recur to .business, and. while engaged in its transaction,
a decent young gentleman places in your handaa note,
politely bows and retires. It reads ns follows: “Your
note for wiil.be doc on the ——and -—’’ • >
*• To ” • ~ • You have scarcely j
gotten oyer the effect of this polite information, ere you
are assailed with “ Can you assist nos a little to-day, I
am dreadfully pushed, and lack just 8100; which is to
pay exchanges. If it had not been for that, I shoultj not •
have troubled you.” Thus passes Thursdav, with ninny ;
similar applications. Friday. Tired and worn and dis-:
pirited. you rise: move about like a drone; bjue devils
hanging thick upon you. This unlucky day looks
gloomy, afid your countenance reflects its image, it is
the devil’s day; no wonder the sailors will not venture
to sea on this day—it is proverbially unlucky. You are
saluted in tlie morning, Itefore you rise, with your wash
erwoman’s bill. The servant that waits upon you re
collects that to-morrow he has holiday, and thinks he
has particular need of a little change. Breakfast over,
ft the -astounding intelligence that “your month’s board
is due,” grates unmusically harsh upon your sensitive
ears. By this time, you are properly soured; but these
—thege are trifles.. For fear that the picture will look
*too dark, wc will refrain, and merely surmise to the
raaJer, that no small exertion of his imagination will be
required, to approach the reality. Saturday. A trouble
some day. Your journeyman, tailor, carpenter, and
blacksmith too, are all to be paid; and, on all hands,
you are greeted with “ wages due to day, sir.” Your
“little bill of necessaries,” table dainties, extras, and
perhaps you have been “ chalked” with an occasional
“julep," or an “ jce-punch‘” together wtth your servant
hire—all, all to be paid to-day. And. whence comes
the means? You look over your account book; you.
find a good many goods sold; a gopd deal of work
done; you pull open the drawer,.and find the.cash ex.
ceedingly scarce. You refer to the cash book, and you
find “cash paid” a dozen times to where you find
“cash received” once. Credit, credit, is the order of
the day, and your neigbor blames and sues you, because
you are kind and indulgent to another. Such is “ life
in Macon,” and so the world wags at present. But a
brighter dawn is even now glimmering in the far-off
future- It may be seen in the firm and knit brow and
compressed lip of .the determined anjl resolute business
mati! He stem3 (he torrent, with a strength and energy
and bears up against the depressing wave with a power
of pnrpose that will soon place him beyond its bounds.
These are “ times that try men’s souls.” If fortune,
fame, character, are wrecked, wlmt else has man to
care for? Bn% we confidently look forward to a brighter
period, when the worthy and deserving will have at
tained their ends, and enjoyed the reward of energetic
industry.
OCT The new Organ, in the Presbyterian Church, is
not only an ornament to the C hurch itself but to the city.
Out citizens should feel a becoming pride in all such
public decorations and ornaments. There is nothing
tha. speaks so well abroad, for the interest of any city,
than that her public property of any kind should be of
superior taste and beauty. It was presented to the
Church by J. Cowles, Esq.
5Kr A Boston editor remarks that “ no paper can ev
er become popular unless it is read, and patronized, by
the Ladies.” We believe every syllable of the remark,
and feel that the “ Soutliern Post” is destined,
ere long, to be one of the most popular Journals in the
country: it is already a great favorite with the Ladies
particularly’, and the enlightened generally.
The New- York Mirror.
The first number of the Sixteenth Volume of this
beautiful print has been received. It is. embellished
with an accurate portrait of Charles Sprague, the Amer

series—of which, those ot Irving, Halleck, Bryant and
Willis, have already appeared.
-The Music is a vgsretau by Bishop, arranged by Page,

S. Fay, William Cox, N. P- Willis, Gorman Worth,
George D. Strong, Epes Sargent, Park Benjamin, Mrs.
Sigouruey, Professor Ingraham, Sheridan Knowles,
and a number of other writers at home and abroad.—
The whole beautifully printed on paper of the finest

New Terras for the remainder of the present
Vo!. of the Suulheru Literary Messenger,
only. ,
. In consequence pf repeated applications for
the Messenger for a less,period than an entire
year, tlie Publisher lias concluded to alter tlie
conditions, for the present year Only, so iar as
to receive new subscribers for tlie remainder
of this volume —to commence with either the
May or June number : tlie eight numbers will
cost 83 34 ; tlie six numbers, {'or half year,)
83 50. . v . : |
The heavy expense, which the publication.pf
tlie Messenger in its present style renders una
voidable, and the. wish of tlie Proprietor still
further to improve it, makes it absolutely ne
cessary tiiat he should hereafter receive ail sub
scriptions invariably in advance. |
Appeal after apjieal has been made to delin
quents, and still many withlwld tlieir just dues.
Why this is so,cannot he conceived, since it is
acknowledged, on all hands, that tie Messen
ger is richly worth .trie amount charged for it;
no better evidence of which need be mention
ed than the fact that tlie subscription price, is
known to have been frequently paid ior old
volumes. -. ’, ~
As heavy drafts have recently been made on
the Proprietor, for expenses incurred in estab
liqhing and conducting tlie .Messenger, it is
hojied those subscribers who are still in arrears
will immediately hand in or remit tlie amounts
tltey respectively owe; which, though small
when considered separately, yet, taken in t e
aggregate,present an amount of considerable
importance. In fact, if one half tlie amount
due him could be obtained, tlie Proprietor would
lie enabled to discharge every claim against
his publication at once : that done, lie would
bring out the next volume of the Messenger in
anew- dress, and improve it in many other res
pects.
The risk of transmitting subscriptions by
! mail, will be sustained by the Proprietor. But
every subscriber thus transmitting payment,
is requested (besides taking proper evidence
of the fact, and date of.mailing,) to retain a me
morandum of tlie number and particular marks
of the note sent.
