T. VOIGT. * The p urse F° rtu,iatus * STONE MOUNTAIN, Sept. 2d. 1849. V- Edil° r . — Since my last I have moved about so rapidly \ a tn hardly able to give you anything more than a megre . ,' n of tho places and things that have attracted my obser- S ‘ j )n the present terminus of the Western Sc Atlantic 1 Rnd appears to boa new place and everything to have i ‘ me in a hurry to accommodate a great emergency ; nn n level plain, much too low to insure health. I its location i u * p v , r v Georgian should feel proud of the State Road, it is lestinod to do an immense business as soon as it is completed, i n ,j the resources of Upper Georgia becomes more developed. I ] t appears to be well managed, in fact the only objectionable I thirm I saw about it was the arrangement at Atlanta, the plat- I jonn between the two roads is much two narrow, and expo- I sHthe passengers to the sun or rain as the case maybe. I while waiting to point out their baggage, as it is, one has to run the risk of losing his property, or push his way into a crowd of his neighbor’s corns or his own ribs. At Marietta 1 put up at the Howard House, kept by Mr I) Fletcher, recently of Savannah, who was very attentive t(J the wants and wishes of his guests. Marietta is a very pretty inland town and no doubt will become a favorite resort of many of our low country friends who desire to spend a quiet season in the upper part of the State. So much has been said and written about this place (Stone Mountain) that it may seem like a school-boys tale for me to I anything afcout it. But its wonderful relation to the sur rounding country, and its peculiar composition and form is so different from what f had anticipated that I feel constrained to mve a passing notice. Whether viewed from its baso or summfffit must be considered one of the greatest wonders in too world. The geologist readily understands how the mighty mountain ranges are raised until their tops seem to reach al most to the skies, but how a mountain of the most beautiful granite should bo raised some 1200 feet high, with a base of only some three or four miles in circumference is a phenom ena in nature not so easily accounted for ; if from volcanic ac tion, why not marks or signs to tell the tale, if from contrac tion of the crust of our earth, why not a mountain range ? One would almost think it the remains of the tower of Babe 1 petrified or turned to solid stone. Speculate ns we may, it is like some gigantic truth that towers far above our ordinary thoughts and feelings which are represented by the plain be low. That all creating power which spake and it was done seems present to us when we contemplate a scene like this. \ view from the top of the mountain shows at a glance that this portion of the State is yet in its infancy, the axe and the plough have hardly begun to do their work to make the coun try a fit abode for civilized man. If this mountain of superb granite was on our seaboard, accessible to shipping, it would be worth far more than a California gold mine. As it is the owuef may realize a handsome fortune from it, and leave stone enough for his children to build an hundred cities.— Could the custom house in Savannah have been built with granite from this mountain, her citizens would have been doubly proud of its noble structure. Although thoroughly convinced that our State is destined to become one of the mostjpopulous and wealthy of the Southern States, the im possibility of providing means to educate in a proper manner all the poor children within her borders, is much to be regret ted, for who can deny that a proper scientific and religious ed ucation is essential to a healthy growth of a great people who decide all their great and important questions by the bal lot box. Wealth is a great blessing when used for good pur poses, but if a man is depraved in feeling and almost barren in intellectual acquirements, it makes him worse than a savage. Yours, .E. P. ENIGMA.

A Bill for the Better Behavior of Brougham. —lt has been objected to Ministers that the past session —like so many others—has been after much de lay and trilling at the commencement, hurried in a most unseemly manner to a close. Ministers, however, are not incorrigible. They propose to amend this fault ; and—to abate a public evil much felt of late—have already ordered a Bill to be drawn, to be called “ A Bill for the Better, Prevention of Lord Brougham’s Powers of Ex amination in Certain Cases.” The reader of the daily papers — see Hill's Divorce and similar bills —must feel that, for the sake of public decorum, it is necessary to curb the imaginative loquacity of the eratic and learned lord. We have been favored with a perusal of the draught of the Bill in question from which we give the subjoined clauses: “ Neither shall it be lawful for Henry Lord Brougham and Vaux to interlard the evidence of witnesses with any suggestive purience. Neither shall he, for more than five minutes at a time, dwell upon and illustrate the testimony of wit nesses from his own varied experience. Neither shall he put questions that have no other end save the self-indulgence of a very questionable curiosity,—in no way furthering the ends of jus tice, but apparently, tending only to the earthly gratification of the aforesaid Henry Lord Brough am. “ And be it enacted, that the penalty for the infringement of this clause shall be a verbatim re port of the offender’s words in the Times.news papers.” It is believed, by the authors of the Bill, that a continued publicity of the errors of speech com mitted by the venerable offender must abate what during the present session, has been found, upon all hands, an intolerable nuisance.— Bauch .
