FRENCH MANNERS.
The inside known by the, outside —
Dress in general. —A mun distiii
tOiislied by bis mind or merit is sel
*b)m recherche in bis dress; be even
very commonly carries bis negli
gence in that respect beyond reason
able bounds.
Pbe physician, surgeon, notary,
solicitor, and artist, of talent, dress
in dark colors; the judge and magis
trate think themselves bound in ho
nor to extreme gravity, and wear
black only.
The shopkeeper has also a black
coat, but be keeps it for funerals and
marriages. His taste propels him
to light blue, chesnut, and lively
green.
The old soldier, whatever his
rank in the world, wears the large
Prussian bine great coat, which he
calls a capote . This garmimt is also
the parure of the retired porkseller
and chci'd'atelier, when he treats his
family at the sauvage or moulin (/’-
amour.
A com me il faul man never dres
ses on .Sunday. On that day an ele
gant avoids being seen in the streets,
and a dandy goes a round about
way of three miles io order not to
cross a public walk.
The great coat ala proprietuire
anil paletot of line In own cloth are
worn by bankers, stockbrokers, mer
chants of eminence, and rentiers of
the first order. The same great
coat, the same paletot of a yellow or
white color, with long and large but
tons, deck the dealer in theatre
tickets, the owner of wild beasts, the
chevalier da- lustre , and other cheva
liers without lustre whom we had
better not name.
Gesticulation.
The orator who accompanies his
speech with frequent, varied, and
natural gestures is generally gifted
with an animated and brilliant esprit;-
he who-delivers his orations without
the slightest movement is more gen
erally still a slow and heavy esprit.
The sensible man gesticulates but
little: the willy man gesticulates
isoie; the silly man gesticulates uot
at all*
That sort of fool called the dan
seur dc eerde , that is to say, the man
at the same time a hablvler, empf-y
----miinled, vain, emphatic, affected,
and presumptuous, is a great gestie
aiat or.
Among detestable gestures must
fro first ranked those of the grand
papa, which consist irr unbuttoning,
rebattoning, and ledebuttoaing the
waistcoat of fire person he spe.ika to
—in seizing his auditor by the front
of his coat —*in stopping at every
t hree steps, starting off again, stop
ping again, and continuing thus until
be drops with impatience and weari
ness —lastly, in marking the mea
sure of all his sentences by a little
blow applied upon the forearm of
his patient, and always upon the
same part, until dislocation of the i
wrist—-all which things produce j
laughter at first, and end by making j
you loathe gesticulations.
Posts and Airs.
The'cox-comb*(raids his head hack
winds, like the vain man, or leaning |
forwards like the short-sighted man.
Despite of the host sight he always
wears a glass or winks when speak’
ing to you, seems not to listen to
you, and affects not to-rnswer you.
The false man stammers, weighs,
and considers his words in petto be
fore lie risks them, and never looks
ait you in the face.
The bun cnWi/it, that excellent
Tiiend who always comes and draws
from your purse, accosts you langh
-111“, with open arms and a projecting
stomach.
The bourrtt, tho cross fellow, lis
tens to you with his head down, an
swers without raising his eyes, with
out turning his face to your side,!
and renders you a service with a re
pulsive air that seems to denote a .
denial.
The man who thinks himself a
personage puts a hand into his waist
coat and the other on his side —'it is-;
the pose JVupoleonieiuic. The cox- 1
comb resets his cravat in order hv
little motions of his head, or cares
ses his whiskers. The ninny pas
ses a little comb over his nmstachois. j
The dandy puts his thumbs into the
vtournures of his waistcoat. The
mat uppris thrusts his hands into his ,
trouser pockets, t he flaneur into his
coat pockets.
Voice.
We have all of us a natural ami
an artificial voice'. The natural
voice is used in menage matters, in
conversations of business or trieml
sliip; the artificial voice, which ar
tists call la voix dcs (Haunches, is
devoted to speeches in public, visits
of etiquette, and love declarations.
The voix des dim inches has some
thing more ronjlvil , more gwttuial.
than the ordinary voice.
Just take by the hand he who
pretends to he tree from that weak
nesss, introduce him into company
he is unacquainted with, and listen
at llie moment he enters the draw
ing-room—it is the voix des dimun
ches saluting the mistress ot the
house.
A common voice is almost indis
pensably the companion of a trivial
mind, a vulgar education, and a char
acter of no distinction.
A criarde voice never belongs to
a person ot good education.
A fluted voice denotes, in a man
who has passed his first youth, a
j narrow mind and a petty character.
A hard voice is a sign of force, en
ergy, and tenacity, unless it be doe
to the habitual use of alcohol, or the
habit of living in had company.
Delivery.
The physiognomy of two-persons
talking together will make you un
derstand, if not the subject, at least
the manner they are talking; for the
mail who speaks too slowly sets us
asleep—he who speaks too quick
tires us—he who stammers puts us
! out of patience—he that searches
for his words tries our nerves —he
who speaks in a monotonous tone,
wi:hout opening his teeth, excites
yawning—he who spits as bespeaks,
and he who speaks under his nose,
inspires disgust—ho who cries over
powers us —he who leaps from one
topic to another makes us laugh and
makes us angry. Lastly, he who
loses tlie thread of hrs-discourse, and
often repeats, “I was saying, then!
svhat was I saying?” makes us wish
ourselves at Jericho.
‘To speak is on art of which very
witty men have not the practice, and
of which some fools have the im
stiucf, which often makes us on a
first hearing pass judgment which
we often reform on appeal.
From the I‘icayune.
Praire Sketches — Doe; Towns. —One of the
must striking peculiarities which rivet atten
tion in the buffalo regions is the number of
what are called ‘dog towns.’ These are spols
of short while grass, growing exceedingly
t hick and tine, where the prairie and igs gather,
dig their holes and iive in com i.unities. They
harrow in the earth, throwing up little mounds,
m the centre of which are the holes leading
10 the domiciles below. It is said these under
ground hubita.ions are made to communicate
below, and the dogs ace continually burrow
ing, meeting each other in all directions.—
Snakes and owls are said to dwell with the
dogs in their holes, with the utmost harmony,
but we had no opportunity of finding u proof
of this, though the story is very generally be
lieved. They feed upon the short,.silken grass
where tiieir dwellings are always located, and
when their peculiar pasturage is exhausted,
they emigrate and form settlements else
where.
The dogs are about the size of full grown
rats, and they have a queer, shrill bark, which
(if such a thing may be imagined) forms a
sort of medium between the yelp of a cur and
die squeal of a rat.- They are generally white
or grey, and vve saw not one of a darker col
or.—The towns sometimes spread over a dis
tance of several hundred square yards in cir
cumference, spangling the darker green of the
piaire in a manner that would doubtless be
exceedingly picturesque could it be viewed
from a balloon. The little creatures are ex
eeeuingly difficult either to catch or kill, and it
is very seldom that travellers attempt one or
the other, for upon the approach of intruders
those out on the grass instantly rush to their
holes, and those under- ground pop out their
heads 10-see what is the ma tter. If one is shot
it tumbles back immediately into the hole, and
there is no getting at it, but there is never any
tolling whether a shot takes effect or not, for
whether hit or not the creatures dissappear in
.6lantly.— Oil one occasion, however, we hit
an impudent liitie fellow, which sat barking at
us with his nose above the mound, and broke
Us buck.—-The poor dog was knocked out of
its hole, and the disabled creature wriggled
and struggled pitifully in the grass. This was
the only opportunity we had to observe the
little animal closely, lor dining our whole trav
el we were never at any oilier time successful
m a-single shot, though we fired at the mounds ,
repeatedly both witli pistol* and rifles as we
rode along.
t hose who* have been compelled by neces
sity to eat the creature sav that the meat is
! extremely tough anil un pa'a table. Two men
! whom- we met returning home disheartened,
■ told ns they were preserved from starvation
i by a lucky shot at a dog, which with a little
flour,, was their only sustenance liir nearly
three days. When coming near a dog town
your ears are assailed with a vociferous hark
ing from the whole community, which grad
ually ceases as you advance, until a's you pass
over the spot, the little animals all disappear,
and the singular sound is no more heard.—
1). zens of them will he sometimes peeping and
barking above the mounds, and at the report
of a rifle they are gone like ma-gie into the
earth, and- scarcely a sign of them remains.
You may poke the full length of a walking
stiek into one of their holes and not find a bot
tom to the subterranean habitation.
Personal appearance of Lord Brougham. —
Rev. Mr. Clark, in his “Glimpses ol the Old
World,” thusdescribes the appeal ance of this
celebrated orator:
Loral Brougham’s appearance is rather
[striking. He is somewhat tall, quite thin, ra
| ‘her careless in his personal appearance with
•a face in'.o which, when he is speaking, is
j thrown infinite expression, !• never saw the
, man who played off with so much facility and
t fleet whole volleys of the most keen and
cannier satire. When assailing an opponent,
having cut off all possibility of retreat, he
seems to de'ight to stand and wave over him
m taunt his shining cimetar, before it de
rends wit ft. merciless a ndextertnina ting power.
His words do not express half the meaning
j Mint is conveyed while he is speaking. He
lias the habit of drawing up one side ofhis
fire,, and especially tiie left nostril, into such
: iu aqueline shape, when about to utter any
| thing particularly caustic, that every word
j seems m derive immense point from the pe
! ouhai expression of hit countenance.
Yankee Trick. —During the revolutionary
war two brothers from one of the eastern
port?, were commanders of privateers; they
cruised together, and were eminently success
ful, doing great damage to the enemy, and
making money for themselves. One evening
being in the latitude of the shoals of Nantuck
et, but many miles to the eastward of them,
they espied a large British vessel having the
appearance of a merchantman, and made to
wards her; but to their astonishment, found
: her to be a frigate in disguise. A \ery high
l breeze prevailing, they hauled off in different
‘directions. One only could be pursued, and
j tiie frigate gained rapidly upon her. Finding he
i could not run away, the commanding officer
had recourse to stratagem. On a sudden, he
hauled down every sail, and all hands were
employed with setting poles, as if shoving his
vessel off a bank! The people on board the
frigate, amazed at the supposed danger they
had run, and to save themselves from being
f rounde l, immediately clawed off, and left the
more knowing Yankee ‘Ho make himself
scarce;” as soon as night rendered it prudent
for him he hoisted sail in a sea two hundred
fathoms deep.
Macon, De ‘. 1- —Georgia Silk. —At a late
term of the Inferior Court of this county, one
0 f the presiding Judges appeared on the Bench

From the Ohio Statesman.
THE PROGRESS OF ABOLITIONISM.
As the triumph of Harrison ism and Cor
iviuism is considered the triumph of Abolition
ism in Ohio, we shall now see the movements
of that see., in all their length and breadth.
A meeting ol Abolitionists in Brown county
resolve to send delegates to the Abolition
State convention to be held here this winter.
They say :
WVhiggery is known now to be triumphant,
standing (airly on its legs. The Whig party,,
it has been affirmed again and again, by
prominent Whigs and leading Abolitionists,
is favorable to human rights. Now then is
the time to send in our petitions. Let them
lie printed, sent out, circulated* signed, and
made ready in due time.’
And adds:
“Whereas, the Whigs will have a majori
ty in the Legislature this winter, and where,
as the Whigs have been heretofore rather fa
vorable to human rights:
“ Resolved , That Abolitionists should make
special efiorts in sending up petitions to the
Legislature for the repeal of all the laws in
Ohio that conflict with human rights.”
The Abolitionists having thrown thirtv
thousand votes-into the Whig scale, are now
determined to enforce their measures through
that party.
The same number of the Philanthropist
that'contains the above, has also numerous
forms ol petitions for the use of its friends.
The first is to extend the right of trial by
jury to runaway slaves.
The second, and third are to repeal the
Kentucky “fugitive law”—differing in form
only.
The fourth and fifth we copy in full. They
are in the (bliowing words:
“To the General Assembly of the State of
Ohio:
“The undersigned of in the county
of respectfully pray your honorable body
to repeal the law which prohibits blacks and
mulattoes from bearing testimony in cases
where one of the parties to a suit is a white
person.”
“To the General Assembly of the State of
Ohio:
“The undersigned of in the county
of respectfully pray your honorable body
to repeal all laws in this Sia’e which make
any distinction among its inhabitants on ac
count ol color.”
This is what H e Whigs have promised the
Abolitionists, to get the votes. This is what
is brought upon the State by the election of
an Abolition Governor, whose ‘distinction of
color,’ is as remarkable as the heterogeneous
elements that compose the Whig party.
There are due a the forms of three petitions
to Congress.
The first to repeal the resolution of last ses
sion against the reception of petitions, me
morials, ere.
The second is for a change in the Constitu
tion of the United States, so as to make
freemen the sole basis of Congressional repre
sentation.
The third is in favor of a recognition of
the independence of Hayti, and of establish
ing diploma ire ami commercial relations
“wilh that Republic.”
An Abolition United Slates convention has
been also suggested to be held ai Washinor
tion and uring Ihe approaching session, though
we believe that it is postponed at present.
Thus it will be seen that the Abolitionists
have their plans chalked out for the future.
The prostration of (lie Democracy has
brought them into foil vigor, if not mtoab
solute power. Combining men of talent with
the untiring vigilance and iadustry of religious
fanaticism—they will not cease to be felt in
the politics of the future, as they have been
in the past campaign, befn ewhose dictation
the very South itsed’ has bowed in mulish sub
mission, and licked the hand that held the
knife to their throats. Fearful as this state
of things is, the fiery ordeal must be past,
and the friends of the Union, the old tried
patriots of past times, and their true and un
changeabte disciples, must stand fast, gather
ing strength fjom the dansrers that develope
themselves by ihe unholy acts of lhat party
sailing under the euphoneous sound of Whig
gery,
BANK REPORTS.
“I have taken the troub e lo make the followin';
statements, showing the immediate liabilities and
available means ot every bank, according lo the re
turns made by the banking institutions of the State,
on the first Monday in Oeiofeer ■ f this year. As the
question of resumption is one of great importance,
and of universal interest, especially at this time when
the subject is before the legislature tor its interfer
ence, I thought that such statements would be acct pt
ahle to the readers of the Constitutionalist. I sha 1
take the banks m the order they are placed in the
pamphlets coniaining the returns, and inclode the

FHOPOSxILS OF A NEW WOKE
to be entitled
GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED,
In a seats of Original Pictures, out stal, with lit.
ler-press descriptions.
T'XHE plan of publishing ui successive numb?.--*
. pictorial works, illustrative of the scenery of
countries, has long been a popular one in Europe and
is rapidly gaiuiug favor m our own country.
Tfte prospectus to issue such a work, devoted to
thesceuery of Georgia, although novel, will imdoobt
edly find universal favor, and be regarded .as it is by
ihe editor, a plan at once felicitous and feasible—-
There is much scenery in our State, that is not sur
passed iu beauty and sublimity, by that of any oilier
tstate in the Union. The upper counties abound in
scenes, which need only to be know n to command ihe
admiration of all who love ihe beauties of nature.
Much of the scenery of the north is inferior to uiu
own, but is yet visited by thousands simply because k
has been written, sung and “ lionized ” by autlio.s and.
travellers, until us beauty has become universally”
known and appreciated, li is desirable that atlcn i- ii
should be directed to out own resources of the pic
turesque in natural scenery, and when this is done, i uc
own and northern tourists will speedily render ui.r
beautiful views as immortal as our language.
The south is charged with general indifference lo
the progress of Literature and the Fine Al ls; ad
probably the strongest foundation for the charge is
tbund in her inaction in enterprises calculated to luster
these objects. The publicaliou of the proposed work
will, it is believed, be an effective blow at inis founda
tion, and a step towards the establishment of our lit
erary reputation, to which end uneh honorable tfl'oit
is now’ directed.
A third consideration, and the last which will now
be urged, is the intrinsic value of such a publication as
“GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED.” It will embody
the representations of the beautiful and sublime in
our S'ate scenery, and attord to all, at a trifling ex
pense, exact pictures ol our mountains, vullies, catar
acts, public buildings, &c., which they may or mav
not otherwise behold, but which, in either case, would
afford peculiar pleasure.
The proposed work will he executed in a style su
perior to any similar pictoral work in the country.
The plates will be executed on steel, by eminent en
gravers, from original drawings, made expressly for
the purpose, by Mr. T. Addison Richards, of Augus
ta. The engravings will be accompanied with letter
press descriptions, prepared for the work, and in thn
departmnul the editor will secure, as far as possible,
the assistance and co-operation of our best writers. In
sh irt, no pains will be spared to make the work a per
fect gem. of its kind, to the end that it may meet a
welcome reception not only at home but also abroad..
Conditions. —“GEOßGlA ILLUSTRATED”’
will be issued in monthly parts, in the quarto form, at
§5 per annum im advance, or at 50 cents for each
part, payable on’delivery.

TO THE SOUTH.
FH. PETTIS, Counseller at Lew, from O--
• range County, Virginia, having been located
in the City of New York, for the last eight years, re
spectfully tenders his grateful acknowledgments to his
friends in the South, for their confidence and patronage
in various matters of business, and solicits their conti
nuance.- He has had much experience, both in this-
State and that of Pennsylvania, in causing fugitive
Slaves to be secured; arid will continue to effect such
objects, if possible, whenever called upon. His plans
are so well matured, by having, at his command, the
most efficient aid, located at different points, and suc
cessfully harmonizing, that he cannot but flatter him
self that he will have more complete success, if possi
ble, in future, than heretofore. Tn defiance of the Ab
olitionists, he can cause to be secured any fugitive
slave, who shall be north of Mason and Dixon’s line.
There neither is, nor can there be, any law of this
or any other State, which can militate against the Fe
deral Constitution, which authorises the master, or his
regularly constituted Agent lo arrest his fugitive slave,,
take him before a Judge or Magistrate, prove property,
and take him away. To the end therefore, it will bo
necessary for tho*e who may wish the services of Mr.-
P., to forward him a Power of Attorney, duly execut
ed, anil minutely descriptive of the fugitive, and also a
fee of twenty dollars to defray preliminary and contin
gent expenses. When the slave shall have been se
cured and handed over to the master, one hundred dol
lars additional charge will be made.
Mr. Pettis will promptly and faithfully attend to any
and ail business confided to him, touching his
sion. All letters,on business, must be post-paid, to
his address, No. 3 Wall street,
N. B.—The Southern papers generally would sub
serve the interest of slave-holders by noticing the a—
