‘Nancy,’ ses he, as he led her to

‘Oh! dear Richard,’ ses she, ‘you
u ;lo vv I love you ; but how can I give
up my P ore I,ttle baby.’
‘But Nancy,’ ses Dick, “grievin
jojnueh wont do no good. Besides,
jfs wrong to do so. You know we
cant have him back.*
‘1 know he cant be alive agin,
pore little angel—l know he cant be
ovver little baby agin in this world,
pat it seems to me like he was near
to me when I’m at his grave. If
be would even cum back to me
ooce more, and let me see his dear,

“Dear Nancy,” ses her husband,
“don’tvouknow that cant be; and
ifit could, you oughtn’t to wish for
su b a tiling. It’s wicked.”
Pore Nancy only cried. And all
thercasonin in the world couldn’t
convince her that it was wrong to
grieve about her baby, or to wish to

who insted of try in to shake off a
heart-sorrow takes pleasure in in
du\ginsich feelins, and linds acon
solttm in the sacrifice of feelio

Weeks and months rolled off, and
still Nancy grieved for her baby,
and never did she lay her bed on her
piller at night that it wasn’t wet
with her tears. Dick was too find of
her to scold her, but be tried his best
to make her forgit her sorrow, by
every argyment he could invent.
PiUtit was all no use, and six months
after little Tommy’s deth he was as
fresh in the mind of his mother as
hewasthe davofhis deth.
One night they had gone to bed
talkin about little Tommy. Nancy
had been tellin her husband how
glad she would be to see him once

persuade her how wrong it was to \
make sich wishes, when be fell to j

“There !” ses she, “it’s callin to

“But Nancy—you wouldn’t let a

ses he, shakin all over like he had a

“To be shore,” ses she. “I

“But Nancy,” ses Dick, “sposc it
was to be some other ghost ?”
“ No, Richard ! I know my dear
bady’s voice. Its nobody else’s
ghost but his, and we must let it in.”
Agin the voice called so pittiful.
Nancy could stand it no longer,
and was gwine herself, when Dick
got up, and they both went side and
side, hold in each other right by ther
night clothes, towards the door, to
let in the ghost of their dead baby.—
The tears was pourin down Nancy’s
face, and her bands were as cold as
ice, while Dick shuck so hecould’nt
hardly walk strait. It Was a bright
moonlight night, and a strong sha
dow lay on the side of the house in
which the door was. Before the
door was a little portico, and near it
stood several rose-bushes and other
shrubbery. As they got near the
door they paused. Agin the voice
sent forth its plaintive cry'.
“ Oh ” ses Nancy%
“ Less lookoutof the winder first,
ses Dick.
They both stepped to the winder
that was open near the door, in
breathless silence—cautiously they
both looked out, when, shore enuff,
what should they see standin under
the portico, close by’ the door, but
little Tommy, with his white shroud
on, jest as lie was berried.
“ Oh,” breathed Nancy.
Dick was too far gone to say a
word.
“ There he is,” whispered Nancy
—“ Pore dear little creter. I know’d
it would curn back to see its mother
once more.”
“ Momy, mo my !” ses the ghost
vcry r pittiful*
“ Oh,” sighed Nancy, leanin on
her tremblin husband tor support.
“ Tommy, Tommy !” ses another
voice, a little ways off.
“ Thars another!” gasped Dick
— w a black one !”
“ Whar is it!” whispered Nancy\
‘ Why thar by the rose-bush !’
‘ Shore enuff!’ ses Nancy r .
‘ What is it V ses Dick. ‘ Whose
ghost is that
‘ Why, that’s little Abe’s ghost.—
Don’t you remember little Abe died
jest a week after little Tommy, and
y'ou know how fond they was of
one another, and how they used
always to play with one another?—
Little Abe’s cum back with his little
master for company V
* Shore enuff'!’ ses Dick.
* Shan’t we open the door, Rich
ard V ses Nancy,holdin tight to him.
Dick hesitated. He was puzzled
to know what to do. He didn’t
want to let a ghost in the house, and
vet he couldn’t bear the idee of turn
in bis own child away from the door.
They both stood in breathless sus
pense for a minit, lookin in each
others face. The ghost called on its
mother agin, in a tone so pittilul
that it went to their very harts.
* Tommy ! Tommy !’ ses the black
ghost under the rose-bush.
Jest then Dick sneezed in spite
of all he could do.
* Whaw—yaw—whaw-ah !’ went
the ghosts.
* His-cats, you and Is /’ ses Dick,
as they went dashin over the fence
as if the old harry was after ’em.
Dick had been too bad scared to
lausdi, and he felt too much for his
pore wife to say much to her about
the ghost. But jumpin into bed
agin,they nestled themselves togeth
er under the kiver and managed to
keep from keiebin any more cold
during the rest of the night. Nan
cy’s got two or three boys and gals
now, and though she often thinks of
little Tommy she don’t grieve to
have his ghost eum back to ber any
more.

Major Jones’ Courtship.

admirable Southern Comedy in pamphlet

We also offer it as a premium to all new

TiT Toots has been, fertile past week, of
much consequence at the Athenseum, although
be might from his well known modesty as
sure us to the contrary. Mrs. Lovell acts the
Nipper exceedingly well, and Mrs. Penson
that of Mrs. Skewton,while Capt. Cuttle and
his hook are acted to the life by Mr. Lovell.
In fact the whole piece is well and carefully
got up.
UIP It is surprising to see the literary er
rors newspapers make, even when edited by
gentlemen of talent and learning. One of
our city dailys during the past week imputed
the authorship of “Georgia Scenes” to our
friend Thompson of tho “News,” while the
other strongly refers Mr. Shultz, in a lawyer
like jxiint of view, to the case of Peebles vs*
Flainstones,” which he says may be found
in Guy Mannering. If the advice is lawyer
like, the reference certainly is not as regards
its exactitude. It is hardly necessary to say
that Judge Longstreet is the author of Geor
gia Scenes; and that the case to be studied
by Mr. Shultz is in Redgauntlet.
Mr. Bulloch tbeoibsconding cashier of
the Central Rail Road Bank, has been arrest
ed and brought back to Savannah, by Mr.
Butman, a gentleman from Boston sent ufter
him.
Savannah Patent Brick Company.
On Thursday afternoon it was our privi
lege to witness the performance of tho Hew
apparatus for making brick, erected by the
above company, about four miles from tho
city, near the canal, and we are glad to add
our testimony to tho excellence of the ma
chinery in nil its parts. Just to think that
forty-three bricks can bo made in a minute,
and those of the very best qunlity, perfectly
true and smooth. The man that invented
the machine is a public benefactor, because
it reduces the expense of making so much,
that they can be ulforded at a less price ; and
wo will be able to build brick houses nearly,
if not quite as cheap as wood. The ex
pense is not only lessened in tho making,
but also in the burning, for from the im
mense pressure (about 130 tons) that they
receive in tho mould, there is less moisture
to be overcome by the heat* consequently less
fuel will be used. Another item of expense
is the handling and transportation, to lesson
which tho company are cutting a Canal of
about 1000 yards, to the very spot on which
the brick is burned-- by the by we must not
forget to say that the young men, Messrs.
Hutchins 6c Bryan, who are engaged in
doing it, deserve credit for tho excellent
manner in which the work is executed -
from whence they can transport it to any
wharf in the city.
\Ve cannot but feel proud es the spirit of
go -o-henditiveness that animates all classes of
our community, and we are pleased to see
the merchant and the mechanic uniting their
nterests and energy in this as well as many
other undertakings of late.
The Ship Channel through the Isthmus j
of Panama.
Mr. Whitney has addressed tho London j
Times in a long letter on this important sub- j
ject, which for three hundred years has en- {
gaged the attention of mankind, and must
from recent events hasten to affect the des
tinies of nations,andjntorest statesman, mer
chant, and philanthropist, as the charges to be
wrought must necessarily affect both politicaj
and commercial relations throughout the
world.
The territory of the tj. States bordering so
extensively on both great oceans has no par
allel in past history, and the policy to make it
available, and promote all the interests of the
empire and the millions destined to live on tho
Western shores* is evidently to give every fa
cility to the commerce of the Pacific, The
inter-oeoanic canal scheme has long been a
favorite one to connect the two oceans—tho
mass of facts, statistics and useful geogrnph
[ ical knowledge set forth cannot lad to give
j Mr. W’s letter great consideration.
He is opposed to the Panama, Nicaragua
and Tehuantepec cut. “If you take a
globe (lie writes) and examine the subject,
the opening of a strait here will not benefit
the commercial world.”
The reasons given are that the range ot
mountain-slopes seom so close to the Pacific
that but small space for population remains
from Cape Horn to Upper California.
That from the Arctic to Cape Horn the
same climate, soil and products prevail, and
exchanges on a large scale cannot occur—
which we confess is not made sufficiently
clear to our comprehension.
That the commerce of the Western side is
trifling and cannot be increased, being con
fined to Mexico aud South America, because
it is not founded ou regular exchanges. That
the settlement north and south will diminish
the commerce with the Atlantic and Europe,
for the trade will exclusively be coastwise to
supply mutual wants, together with that of
the Islands and ports of the east. Which
view is neither true to the laws of trade nor
the history of commerce, we humbly think ;
for long ago the English aod ourselves have
by tho most indirect course carried on this
very commerce, and if population fill up, the
great law of supply and demand will seek
from every source wbat is best and cheapest,
nnd to sell to tlioso who pay besfs whatever :
is produced*
He then shows the commerce of Chili and
London, in 1842, engaged eighty-si* vessels;
and that the voyage from Valparaiso to Lon
don by the Cape is shorter than thro 1 the pro
jected cut, and therefore it would not he
used. That Parliamentary reports shew the
commerce with Peru comparatively trifling,
and could not be increased.
Then comes the question, what products
could the Western slopes give? Ileeon
; tends that the eastern side produces the
same things at far less cost in all latitudes—
this includes common minerals. As to the
precious metals, he says, they do not enter
I largely into tho commerce, but only as a
medium of trade to settle balances. That
they will soon await the law of labor; but
those who have abundance of such product
will scarcely confine their wants to the
limits ho assigns; unless they prove an ex
ception to what we know. The production
of gold forms no exception to the production
of any other article for commerce.
It appears lie estimates eleven millions dol
lars as the amount received the two past
years, and that besides the coin sent from
this side twenty millions of property lias
gone. Surely such beginnings, to cease on
account of a coastwise nnd Pacific limited i
trade, would be more remarkable than the
j wonders we have already witnessed* As to
i assumption fixing a rate of labor to 50 cents, i
and the wants of tho population confined to
small supplies of clothing nnd food from the
Western slopes —it proves too much, and j
renders Mr. Whitney’s Rail Road an object
equally superfluous; in fact, it is suicidal to
the increase of population at all.
Rut not very consistently with these views.
Oregon and California open a field to draw
population from Europe and China) to employ
them in branches of industry from the soil
and the fisheries, dec., there is much writing |
to shew how prosperous they will he, hut
that none of the Atlantic tribes can reap bene- j
fit from it.
Ho estimates this by the trade of the U. ‘
States with Asia, shewing a balance against
us—(balances are long ago voted as scare
crows,) and “ though the trade may be 1
profitable to individuals (says he) it is not so
to tho nation,” of which distinction we pro
fess our ignorance*
Mr. Whitney thinks that if the artificial
strait existed, the trade-winds Would assist !
the vessel by this route, tho distance being
13,138 miles; but the homeward voyage
would always be made around tho Cape, al
though the distance is 14,255 miles, but the
trade-winds serve, and hence it would be
shorter. Ho thinks, also, that in steam navi
gation the necessary fuel would leave no
room for freight; and from all this the trade
with China would not be changed to this
route. He is decidedly an anti-Panama route
man. ‘‘lf a common schoolboy (says lie)
will take a globe, (and he cautiously says, not
a flat map,) place the end of a st ring at Can- !
ton, bring it up through the Chinese Sea j
Sunda Straits, into tho Indian Ocean, thence i
to the Capo Good Hope, St, Helena, inside
Cape do Verde Island, up to England—this
will be 13,380 miles—then he takes his string ;
from England over to Panama, and as the I
trade-winds would force a vessel’s course j
South of tho Sandwich Islands to the Lad- i
rones — then the string does not reach near j
to China, the distance being 15,558 miles or j
*2,2*28 greater than by the Cape, and the dis
tance would be increased to Singapore and
Calcutta. Comment is here unnecessary.”
These questions of fact, as well ns regard
ing the currents, of the sea in both voyages,
must be confirmed by professional men.
In the samo category must bo placed his
views of the navigation in steamers. He
avers that the present route is from 2.500 to
3,500 miles shorter than via the Isthmus, with
greater facilities for depots of fuel.
The principal stress is laid on the ass mu *d
fact, that both slopes of ihe Continents, after
a little while, will produce the same articles,
and that exchanges with Europe will he
made on our side. It is imposs.ble to antici- |
prtte what tho soil can be made to produce ;
with tho aid of science, under the energetic
population that will emigrate, nnd the best
surety of their cultivating differently from
tho Eastern slope will bo this very present
identity. That when tho present unsettled
mode of supplies of food subsides. Oregon
will monopolize it, nnd tht tlvere xvdl be ex- I
elusive nnd separate interests on both sides,
Intercourse will cease, and relations no closer j
than tvith Russia, or any remote nation, must j
follow. He then developes his scheme, j
The commerce es Europe and Asia must ,
ride in his rail ears, mid not tempt the waves ‘
beyond necessity. Tomake the whole North- j
ern Continent bloom like a garden, to use his
language, “equalize, harmonize, civilize and i
christianize,” must he by “the route located
so far north that the sphere of the globe will
sufficiently shorten tho distance; and the \
work must be constructed from a plan of
means which will secure an adequate reduc
tion in the cost of transport. He then draws
a parallel to shew that if the Isthmus ofvuez
was made a canal it would shorten dis
tance and time, but commercial exchanges
would not increase ns the eo9t of transit, and
other causes would make them precisely as
they are at present;
. There is no doubt that Mr. Whitney han ‘
bestowed much thought in making this analy
sis to bear on his favorite scheme; but if he is
right, surely so far from the Panama open
ing bfeiug injurious, he ought to view it as an
auxiliary to assist his rail road, for every ad
ditional increase of trade from any quarter j
must assuredly, with the force of attraction,
finds its way to his depot onone side or the oth
er like all rivalries whore geographical points
confer advantages.
It is a subjects that has attracted the at
tention of superior mietds, the practical
philosopher and the votary of science. Lt.
Maury, stands iu tho double relation, and if
we mistake not has applied his fertile mind
to subjects connected with it. Should he seo
fit to put forth his views on the subject, we ,
shall not fail to give them a place in our C(H- ‘
umus-
