Richmond Enquirer. .
Extract of a letter from Norfolk, dnU and ldth
Y nr il We took Mr. Secretary Branch on
board at City Point, he being on ins way to
take the Baltimore boat. lie told me oi he-1
‘hair breadth’ escape in t!ie stage on his v. ay j
from Halifax to Petersburg. Ihe driver be
in"pretty particularly drunk, tumbled from:
his hi© estate,like his immortal predecessor, J
,hc horses, thus left with the reins of power |
hanmno- looselv about their necks, darted oil'
at full speed. ' Our worthy Secretary, thus
left with his children, (who were accompany
ing him) in this perilous predicament and the
danger thickening from a precipitous fall on
one side of the road, not far ahead, conceiv
, and the forlorn hope of stopping the horses, or
diverting them from the danger into which
th cy were hastening,by leaping from the stage
and heading them, or giving them an incli
nation more towards the middle of tue road.
It was a desperate attempt indeed—neck or
nothin" —and he barely escaped with whole
bones, having strained the sinews of bis an
cles and bruised one of his cheeks. He was
too much stunned, however, to produce any
c ff e ct on the mettlesome steeds. Luckily, a
negro was ploughing in a field on the road s
tide, saw the horses running law ay with the
stage in time to go to the rescue of the pas
sengers, and, with admirable presence of mind
took his horse from the plough and galloped
off to head the runaways, and succeeded in
stopping them, without the slightest accident
to horses, stage or passengers. Mr. branch
informed mo that he had took the name ol the
negro and that of his master, with the deter
mination, if possible, to buy him, and it so, to
emancipate him. ThH would be but jus
tice, —Richmond Enquirer.

Fire at Wilmington.— We regret to record
another disastrous fire at Wilmington. <>n
Friday morning last, about two o clock, the
Point Peter Steam S*w Mill, owned by Mr. |
Giles M. Mallett, was discovered to be on
lire, at the Soutli West corner of the Mill
near the ground, which was the farthest part
of the building from the Engine Room; from
which circumstance, and others, there is no
doubt it was the act of an incendiary. The
Mill was entirely destroyed ; but by great ex

of S3OOO, was saved, except .about S2OO
worth. The whole loss is about, S7OOO. It

From the National Library.
Observance of the Sabbath. —From the
time of the Revolution, says Mr. Smith, there
lias been an increasing tendency to compel a
rigorous observance of the Sabbath, until in
the present day it savours of puritan bigotry
and intolerance. Deeply as we respect the
motives of the good and pious men who would
restrict the bulk of the people from all reere,
ntioas, however innocent, on the only day
when they can enjoy them, wo still presume
to think that' they may push this austerity
too far. If our universal Father and Creator
delights, as he unquestionably must do, in the
happiness of his creatures, what can be more
acceptable to him than the sight of those in
nocent enjoyments in which they may indulge
after the performances of public worship ?
W hat devotion so pure and ardent as the
harmless exhiliration of a grateful heart ?-
“Cheerfulness,” says Addison, “is the best
hymn to the Divinity.” Even Dr. Watts ad
mits that “religion never was designed to
make our pleasures less,” and if tins be true,
why should we object, after performance of
the stated worship, to any recreation, any a
musement whatever, provided always that it
be of an unobjectionable nature ? It is high
time even for the sake of religion herself, to
shake oti those pharisaical austerities which,
in the minds ol the vulgar, tend to associate
her with gloom, sadness, mortification and
ennui. The great demoralization of the age
has not unfrequently been attributed to Sab
bath-breaking, in which offence are included
the after church water parties who on this
only day of relaxation, crowd to walk in the
meadows and admire the beauti ul seonerv.—
Surely this is a lamentable mistake! An ha
bitual disregard of its enjoyed observanc ’s,
md a desecration of the Sabbath by dissolute
indulgences, may doubtless lead to all sorts
ol immorality and vice; but such profanation
U not the prevailing characteristic of the low
er classes. On the contrary, there is per
haps no country in the world where the Sun
,,ay more rigorously observed, and unfortu •
nately there are few which stand so low in the
scale of morality, when compared with other
‘•aliens. For many centuries the Sabbath
afternoon was appropriated, in our own coun
try, to all sorts of sport and pastimes, as it
sell continues to bo throughout the greater
part of modern Christendom. If v. e weigh
present England, as to morality crimes, and
misdemeanors, either with her former self or
•ier modern neighbors, shall we find that flic
gloom and severity of her Sabbaths have af
forded an increased security against crime ?
das! we fear not. May there not be il sus
picion that by denying open-and innocent re
creations to the people on their sole holiday,
■\e have driven them into alehouses, and oth
er covert haunts of vice, and thus aided the
demorilization we were seeking to prevent !

MACOX.
Our Tows, since its establishment, but more
particularly for the last twelve months, has great
ly improved in morals, population, wealth,and en
terprise ; and from the increased and increasing
population of Macon, and oi the surrounding coun
try, it will hold a still more aspiring rank, than
has been already realised. v
W e make this general assertion now, and, as
soon as the necessary statistical information can
be collected, it is our intention to lay before our
readers, accompanied with an accurate stereotyp
ed Plan ol the Town, a detailed and comparative
view of its resources, trade, &c, beginning with
the establishment of Macon in 1823, and comino >
dawn to the present period.
Macon and Ourself.
The very liberal support which has been ex
tended to the Macon Advertiser, since its commence
ment, demands oitr moot lively gratitude, and
flatters U3 With the belief that our efforts to please
have not been altogether unsuccessful. Indeed,
we have positive assurances of the cordial recep
tion which our folio has received—not only by a
direct and spontaneous patronage,but of its being
approved and cheered at its “ very birth.” These
manifestations of forwarding “ the object in hand
and the end we aim at,” at so early a stage of our
existence, is very gratifying; and to requite it as
far as possible, what little talent or industry we
may possess will be pv t in active requisition, and
kept constantly employ ed.
To our cotemporaries, we also owe our thanks
for the very flattering manner in which they have
introduced the Advertiser to the editorial arena.
The favorable notices which, without distinction
of party, they have been pleased to take of us,
whether deserved or not, certainly exhibits a kind
and c urteous disposition, which Will not be for
gotten.
We here take occasion to make the following
extract from the last “ Rural Cabinet, ” more with
a view of presenting tor ur friends abroad, some
idea of the growing prosperity of Macon, than
with a positive intention of gratify mg our own va
nity,
Macon, from its advantage .3 location
and the trade of tho fertile bar k country
which must almost necessarily c. are there,
is destined at no distant day, to a sta
tion scarcely secondary, to ;v .-.t town
in Georgia. There are at [<; , three 00-
litical and one religious new >ci, publish
ed iu that town. Those of a |>ohticai cast,
rank with the best paper- a the State. That
recently established by Mr Slade “The
Macon Advertiser and Xgrinltiiral and
Mercantile Intelligencer ” is issued twice a
week, on a large sheet; the mechanical exe
cution is of the first order—The selections
evidence taste >nd judgment—and the Edi
torial department is ably sustained. From
toe tenor of the Editorial matter in tho num
bers which have reached us, the Advertiser
and Intelligencer promises to be an able and
efficient advocate of “the Union of the States.’
The Georgia Christian Revertory, (religious
paper,) we heretofore noticed— we would at
this time only further observe, merits the
countenance ar.d support of the religious
community of Georgia, in particular; the
course of the Editor bearing ample testimo
ny that he is divested of the mistaken zeal,
which we to the South, conceive has too
much characterized one of the ablest conduct
ed papers, in the Union of that class, —“The
Christian Advocate and Journal and Zi-oiCs
Herald .”
Like a coy coquette hiding her blushes from an
enamoured lover, we are so flattered and puffed by
the encomiums which have been showered upon
us; that, notwithstanding we shall be subject to
the implication of egotism, still, as we have un
numbered precedents to the same effect, and as
they are an off" index of what we are ! we must
perforce, notice a few more compliments;
From the Augusta Courier.
Three Papers are now printed in Macoti—no
inconsiderable evidence of its wealth and intelli:
genee. Besides the Telegraph and Messenger, Mr.
Sludc has just issued the first No. of his Agricul
tural and Mercantile Intelligencer.
It is equal in size to its competitors, and will
probably run an equal race in the contest for pub*
lie favor. Success to the “ most worthy!” We
hope they will not quarrel, like Alexander’s Gen
erals, as to whom that epithet belongs; hut
believing each, that it is himself, strive the
more to deserve it from their patrons and the
public.
From the Georgia Journal.
“The Macon Advertiser” is a new paper
lately established at Macon, and published by
Mr. Xiade, formerly one of the Editors of the
Messenger. This paper is neatly printed, and on
a large sheet; iu mechanical execution it leaves
nothing to desire. With regard to matter, the
selections arc excellent, made with discrimina
tion which evince taste and judgment. The edi
torial department so far deserves prai e and at
tention. Should the Editor continue in the same
course, he cannot fail ro render his paper valua
ble to the reader and profitable to himself. We
heartily wish him success.
From the Columbus Democrat.

From the Savannah Georgian,
esterday s \\ estern Mail brought us the first
number of anew paper tho Moron Advertiser and
Agricultural and Mercantile Intelligencer, publish
ed twice a week by M. J. Slade, formerly one of
the editors of the Messenger. It is printed on
good paper and with anew and handsome type.
Other papers have expressed a favorable opin
ion towards us, and among them is tho Federal
Union, the remarks and compliments of which
are not at hand, from having misplaced the paper
containing them.
In our intercourse with our Editorial brethren,
however variant our opinions may be, it will be
our pleasure to foster this fraternal spirit—to chc
ri h and preserve this esprit du corps, so necessary
to the usefulness and respectability of the Press.
tilE NEW C ABINET.
Ol .he material which is to compose tho New
Cabinet, nothing official has yet transpired. It
appears, however, pretty certain, if we take for
authority the extract of a letter from Washington
city, which comes from the Richmond Enquirer,
and which appears under our Political head, that
Mr. Livingston is to go into the State Department.
The editor of the Enquirer demurs to this appoint
ment, but does not state his objections.
For ourself we cannot conceive a more enlight
ened a more patriotic, or a more independent
course, than the one which it is said to be the po
icy of the President to pursue in the selection of
his new Cabinet. To use his own language, he
“ cannot expect to get a Cabinet, that would coin
cide with him upon all points." Indeed, to sup
pose that lie could, would be supposing a moral
impossibility. So various and complex are manv
of the subjects arising out of our foreign and do
mestic relations owing to tho diversified views
and conflicting opinions which are entertained of
affairs both at home and abroad, that it is out of
the question to get two minds to harmonize, up
on all “thepoints" which may present themselves
for their consideration. Under such a view of
the subject, the rule of conduct which President
Jackson has prescribed for himself in the forma
tion of his Political Family seems to us a very
judicious one—indeed, the only one which would
enable him to close his Administration with honor
to himself, and usefulness to his counlrv.
The Enquirer seems to express some fear for
the President; by saying, that as he makes it his
“province to give his Secretaries ihc Rule, and their's
to acquiesce, the people will therefore look to him,
and from his integrity of purpose and firmness of
character, they will hope for the correction of any
eccentricity into which any of his Secretaries
may be betrayed.” Yes—the people will so look
and so hope. In elevating Andrew Jackson to the
Presidency, they gave him their full confidence,
and relied upon his Capacityto discharge firmly &
ably, the high and sacred trusts of iiis exalted sta
tion. They did not presume that He was to be the
play thing of his Cabinet-—a mere automaton at
the head of affairs. No—they looked upon him
and him alone as President in fact of the United
States of America, and they hold him responsible
for the good and faithful administration of the gov
ernment over which they placed him. Thus far
he has realized their confidence—and in the mo
tives which have led him to the re-organization of
his Cabiuet, he has given them a strong and pat
riotic assurance that he will return that confidence
into their hands unimpaired.
A Proselyte,—or, the Jirogrcss of Principle.
The Editor of the Georgia Courier, has, as it
will appear, from tho following declaration made
in his last paper, espoused the cause of Andrew
Jackson. This may be considered as one of the
effects produced by the re-organization of his ca
binet. It is in this honest, able, and fearless way,
that the President wins o ;er bis adversaries, and
not by bribery, intrigue, or stipend.
“ For reasons, which we cannot detail at pre
sent, we have assumed the Jackson livery; but
we shall wear it without servility. This new
coat, as yet, sits easy upon us. .Since the resig
nation ct the cabinet, we have repeatedly looked
at it in the glass, and like it better and better. YY'e
shall wear it, we suppose, as “ other great men”
have done—as long as it suits our purposes.”
We have been requested by tit e Post Master
to state, that the name of the Post Office hereto
fore called Naucoochy Valley in Habersham
county, has been changed to that of “Coopers
town," and letters are requested to he directed ac
cordingly. — Athenian. ,
Woodworth's Potent Pinning Machine. —
M e witnessed the operation of this valuable
labor-saving Machine yesterday afternoon, at
S the Millwright Shop of Messrs. Bihxie &
I Heriot, south end of the Battery, and al
though the horse-power used was but ill-cal
culated, iroin its want * f uniformity and stea
diness, to afl’ord a favorable opportunity for
forming u correct estimate of its many ad van
ta” e!S > yet its performance was such, as to
| leave no doubt upon the mind, of its great
1 utility in the saving of manual labor ; whilst
the work turned out by it is calculated to
make more even, level, and better floors than
those which are worked by hand. By the
operation of tins machine, flooring or other
planks is rapidly reduced from its rough state,
to an equal width and thickness, and the edg
es tongued and grooved, with the greatest
truth and accuracy. The time opeupied in
tints planing, tongucing,and grooving a plank
of 1 ’I feet in length, is but one minute.
Mr. Johnson, who is now exhibiting the
Machine, is prepared to dispose of the’l ight
to use it, both within this State and the State
of Georgia, and although it has not as yet, we
are sorry to learn, attracted the particular at
tention of those best qualified to pronounce
upon its utility, and who would be most like
ly to profit by its application, if introduced
amongst us, we yet trust that it will not be al
lowed to be taken away, without an effort
on the part of some of our public spirited
master builders, to obtain the paten: right for
this city or state.— Charleston Courier Ith inst
