Address by the Hon. H. V. Johnson before the
Wesleyan Female College, with particular
reference to its nnscriptnralness.
We are indebted to R. A. S. Atkinson, Esq., for a
copy of this celebrated Address, for which kindness he
will please accept our sincere thanks.
We have read it carefully, dispassionately and in
quisitively. We have tried to disoover its faults. We
were astounded when a respectable editor, who had the
honor of being one of the board of visitors to the College
before whom this address was delivered, charged that
it held forth unscriptural views upon some important
subject. We repelled the charge by showing the high
estimate which was placed upon the Address by men
eminent for piety and learning, and now by proudly
pointing to the Address itself published by the very
board of which the said editor was a member for the
enlightenment of the pious mothers and lovely daugh
ters of Georgia. If Judge Johnson has uttered ttnscrip
tvral views, the Board of Trustees composed of the very
front rank men of the Methodist church in Georgia, in
learning and piety, have become particeps criminis by
issuing it to the world with the distinct endorsement,
“that its general circulation will materially subserve the
cause of Female Education.”
With these preliminaries, we present to our readers
the entire passage to which Mr. Knowles objects as un
scriptural. Its elegance, purity and beauty, will make
atonement for its length.
THE RELATION OF WIFE AND MOTHER.
“The relation of wife and mother is the consequence of
marriage, which is, at once, the foundation of the social
state and the image of Heaven reflected to earth. Hence,
its true nature and its resulting duties should constitute
a leading feature in female education. Parents expect
their daughters to marry ; and the young ladies would
plead guilty to the ‘soft impeachment,’ if I were to insin
uate that they iudulged the same expectation. But,
if we were allowed to judge from observation, it must be
admitted, that few parents and still fewer daughters seem
to comprehend the true character and responsibilities of
the conjugal bond. The highest notion of marriage that
generally obtains, at the present day, is, that it is a con
tract between the parties, professedly founded upon the
consideration of mutual love, and solemnized by the Priest
or Magistrate. Titus regarded, it is a mere personal un
ion, formed to promote natural and temporal pleasures,
rather than spiritual happiness and Heavenly bliss. Thus
regarded, it contemplates the distinctions of sex, as foun
ded alone in differences of physical organization, and
therefore, that marriage, being only for the accommodation
of such distinctions and their consequent dependencies,
has reference only to the present life. Society and gov
ernment treat it as a civil contract, and we fall far below
its high claims, if. by dignifying it, as a religious institu
tion, we simply mean that it is of Divine appointment.—
True marriage exists prior to and is independent of its public
solemnization. The Hymeneal vow, the ceremony and
the nuptial feast, are but the outward forms of an inward
union. The distinctions of sex do not consist in differ
ences of natural organization only, but they ar the re
sults of real pre-existent distinctions of mind. They are
spiritual as well as natural ; psychical as well as physical.
The body is but the form and incarnation of the spirit—
the body of a man, that of a male, and the body of a wo
man, that of a female spirit. True marriage is the con
junction of two such spirits, brought together by the at
traction of that Heavenly affinity,
“ which binds
In union sweet according minds.”
Such being the nature of true marriage, it is impossible
for it to be a mere temporal transitory connection. Noth
ing can dissolve it but a course of life by either party,
which superinduces such a dissimilarity of moral state, as
renders it impossible for them to be united in the spiritu
al world. Death cannot destroy the sexuality of their
spirits, nor the affinities that cemented their union.
“How swift the Heavenly course they run,
Whose hearts, whose faith, whose hopes are one !
Age shall not cool the sacred fire,
Not shall the flame with death expire,
But brighter burn in Heaven above,
A Heaven of Joy because of love.”
Viewed in this light, how exalted, how holy and how
pure is marriage ! Viewed in this light, there is beauty
ip its emblematic signification, of the union of our Lord
with his Church. Viewed in this light, it is the well
spring of uuutterable happiness to the wedded pair, not
only imparting delight to their employments and associa
tions here, but furnishing a foretaste of celestial joys.—
O ! if our children, especially our daughters, were edu
cated to these exalted views of the conjugal relation, it
would soon transform the face of society. O ! how they
would discard, with loathing and disgust, those selfish and
sordid considerations which too often lead to its formation.
“That conjugal alliances are often induced by mere
worldly policy, all must admit. It is a growing evil.—
How frequently do we see the blooming bride led to the
altar, under circumstances which negate the possibility of
happiness ! Ambitious of rank or position in society,
she links her destiny with the unmitigated worldling,
who never felt the holy tenderness of love, and whose
habits, pursuits, and aims unfit him for the delights and
endearments of domestic life. The prodigal of a thou
sand moral obliquities, if he is dashing, handsome, and
rich, or the middle aged gentleman, if he has rank orpo
litionl distinction, even without desert, or the miser, whose
he *rt is just as hard and as small as a silver dollar, W’ins
his way to the eitadtl of woman's affections, more gallant
ly, than the virtuous, if obscure, or the meritorious, if
poor Irrespective of similaiity of age and congeniality
of tastes and sentiments, she consents to be his bride and
thqs becomes the victim of his vices, or the cowed slave of
his oppression. The maxim is,
“ Qu&renda pecunia primuni
Virtus po.it mint mo*, ” Hon.
“Get money, money still.
And then let virtue follow if she will.”—Pope.
There are two ideas in this splendid passage which
are above the raDgo of eommon thought and are there
fore pronounced unscriptural. The one is the phvlos
ophieal deduction from the differences of phisical de
velnpment observable in the male and female formations,
lhat ‘the distinctions of sex do not consist in differences
of natural organization only, but they arc the results of
real pre existent distinctions of mind.” True, this
detrine is not taught in scripture, but it i not there
for* unscriptural. It was this foolish that
whatever was not taught in scripture, was unscriptural,
whioh induced the church of Rome to deny that the
earth revolved around the sun, and thus drew upon its
councils the derision of all philosophers. OF the posi
tion of Judge Johnson we have no question. We know
that the character oT the spirit of a man is indelibly
stamped upon his features. Harsh features accompany
harsh tempers ; smooth and regularly rounded features
are the sure index of a sweet disposition 5 and so uni
form is this rule, that Claverhouse, Duke of Dundee, is
a wonder as well in the pages of history as in those of
fiction. Upon the 6ame principle, and upon no other,
can we explain the phenomenon that wo always find in
the female form gentle and feminine tastes and quali
ties. A masculine spirit in the form of woman is a
monstrosity shocking to good taste and the order of
nature. Strip Judge Johnson’s iden of its ornate and
metaphoric adornment, and it is simply the announce
ment of the familiar truism, that the spirit of woman is
gentle, sympathetic and charitable ; while that of man
is bold, hard and selfish. The one is the spirit of wo
man, the other is the spirit of man. The sex of the
one spirit is female, while that of the other is male.
The other idea in the passage, which is alike origi
nal and beautiful, is that “true marriage is the con
junction of two such spirits, brought together by the at
traction of that Heavenly affinity,”
“ which binds
In union sweet acco ding minds,”
and that “death cannot destroy the sexuality of their
spirits, nor the affinities that oemented their union.”
True, Christ teaches (Mat, 22. 30,) that “iti the res
urrection they neither marry, nor ate given in marriage,
but are as the angels of God in Heaven.” Judge
Johnson docs not bold an opposite doctrine. He does,
however, hold that the holy affinities which are formed
on earth are perpetuated in Heaven, unless a “dissimi
larity of moral state renders it imposible for them to
be united in the spiritual world,” a doctrine in accordance
with the holiest yearnings of humanity and palpably
taught by Christ in the parable of Dives and Lazarus.
The rich man implored Lazarus whom he had fed, and
not another, to cool his tongue, and Abraham, by the
endearing epithet of “son,” recognises his earthly re
lation to the outcast. And Bhall these distant earthly
associations be recollected in the spiritual world, nod
the divine union by which “twain are made one flesh’’ be
forgotten ? Shame on such a philosophy ! which would
rob Heaven of half its glories and divest marriage of
its divinest attributes. No, no, it cannot be true.
The widowed heart would break titider the blow
which severs the marriage tie, were it not for the di
vine hope that the disembodied spirit of the loved and
lost hovered above our pathway to the tomb, and will
again meet us at the portal of death and bear us upon
its golden wings to the “house not made with hands
eternal in the Heavens.”
We are astonished that any one should believe that
in the spiritual world, the nice and beautiful distinctions
of male and female spirits are obliterated, and that the
varieties of character which they superinduce, and which
lend so fascinating a charm to earthly associations, are
all merged in the dead level of uniformity and veri
similitude in that undiscovered country where every
source of enjoyment here is infinitely enlarged,£ and
where the Bible expressly teaches that there are angels
and aroh-angels, and principalities and powers.
Whether our readers will agree with Judge Johnson
in these truly beautiful and original ideas we know not.
They will, however, find by reference to his Address,
that the Book of Books is the source of his inspiration
and his chief reliance in every system of education.
He says :
* * * “Whatever books may be omitted, in fe
male education, there is one that cannot, be ; whatever
ought to be studied, there is one that must, be •, and that
book is the Bible. It describes and enforces every dutyjj;
it mirrors forth every gradation of character ; it sounds
every depth of being; it scales the hieghts of immortality ;
it spans the infinitude of endless duration ; it unfolds
every sanetion of eternal retribution.
“Most wondrous book ! bright candle of the Lord !
Star of eternity ! the only star
By which the bark of man can navigate
The sea of life, and gain the coast of bliss
Securely : only star which shines on time,
And, on dark and troubled billows, still,
As generation drifting swiftly by
Succeeds generations doth throw a ray
Os Heaven’s own light and to the hills of God,
The eternal hills, doth point the sinner’s eye.
# * * * * *
This book, this holy book’s on every line,
Marked with the seal of high divinity.
On every leaf’s bedewed with drops of love
Divine, and with eternal heraldry
And signature of God Almighty stamped
From first to last.”
We have occupied so much space in the discussion
of these truly original and touching points of faith, that
we have no room for further remark upon the Address.
It is alike creditable to his head and heart, and indeli
bly stamps him as a finished scholar, a true gentleman,
and an humble and sincere Christian. His perception
of the true position and real duties of woman is so
vivid, his picture of home life, where woman fills her
right place is so beautiful, his appreciation of female
excellence so just, that we are led to the conclusion
that he moves in a family circle adorned by a true wo
man, whose mind is stored with all useful knowledge,
whose heart is filled with generous impulses, aud whose
hauds are active in every noble charity. We commend the
Address to every father and mother in Georgia. They
may not like Judge Johnson’s politics, but they will be
charmed and benefited by his luminous Address on
Female Education.
The Conservative Ticket in Muscogee.
The Enquirer boasts that the ticket has not been se
lected to represent the various phases of its party.
We concur with it in the opinion. But will it please
inform us which phase it does represent ? the Scott
phase or the Webster phase ? the whig phase or the
Conservative phase ? the Union saving phase or the
South saving phase ? It is very evident that if only one
of these phases is represented that it will “come tear
ing out behind !”
The Enquirer spells the word “plases $” and if by
that it means places , we entirely agree with it in the
assertion, that they represent but one place, and that
one is the place beaten men generally occupy—the one
out of offioe.
We acknowledge we were proven an untrue prophet
in the Abercrombie race. We predicted upon the in
formation of others. W r e greatly desire to regain our
credit in this line, and therefore take this occasion to
put our skill to the test by predicting that Sturgis will
beat Wales 100 votes. Stick a pin there-
Letters Opened at Havana. —lt is stated that official
le f ters, addressed to Mr. Clayton, U. S. Consul at Ha
vana, and to Col Robertson, Vice Consul, from the
State Department at Washington, have recently been
detained in the Spanish Post office at Havana, and there
cat open for examination before they were delivered.
*rtiey were in this condition when reoeived by Mtssr*'.
Clayton and Robertson, and the letter* addressed to
comnqercittl houses were cut upeQ and examined too.
Mass Meeting tU Kingston.
The Mass meeting at Kingston, we learn, was not
as large as was anticipated, owing to the very heavy
rain which fell on the day. Still there was a large as
semblage of the Cherokee Deinocraoy in attendance,
and the very best feeling prevailed. Messrs. 11. V.
Johnson, McDonald, Cobb, Chappell, Wellborn and
many other distinguished Democrats were present
and addressed the assemblage in able, eloquent and
effective speeches. It is thought that H. \. Johnson
will cross the Chattahoochee with a majority of 5,000
votes, which the patriotic freemen of the balance of
the State will take care to increase.
Heatr Rain—The Crops—The Mails*
On Friday and Saturday, 9th and iOtli inst., we were
visited by a heavy and continuous rain. The river
rose rapidly, and on Sunday was nearly as high as it
was in the spring when the factory basin was destroy
ed. We are pleased to see that the new works put
up by Mr. Win. Brooks have stood firm. No damage
has been done by the freshet in this city. The crops
must suffer considerably by the high wind which ac
companied the rain. One half the ootton crop was
open, it is estimated, and in the fields. Since Monday
the mails have entirely failed beyond Macon, Ga. and
Montgomery, Ala. This will account for the scarcity
•f news in our columns to-day. We understand that
the Central Rail Hoad is badly injured in two or more
places. We hear of no damage to the Muscogee Road.-
MAcoto CofjrrrV Nominations.— The Democracy have
nominated Wm. B. Hill for the Senate, and Judge
Osburn Wiggins for the House of Representatives;
Bibb County Nominations. —The Democracy of the
Banner county have nominated James Dean for the
Senate, and Dr. H. Iv. Green and Stephen Slocuml*
for the House of Representatives.
The Missouri River has opened for itself anew
outlet into the Mississippi. On Saturday week it suc
ceeded in cutting anew mouth, or debouch, into the
Mississippi, across the point of land lying about half a
mile above where it has run of late years. It now
strikes the Mississippi in a direction which is likely to
prevent the washing of the Illinois or eastern shores to
any injurious extent. At the last accounts two steam
ers had passed through the hew chute, and this may
now be regarded as the main channel of the Missouri.
Rain. —For the last three days, We have had dn al*
most, uninterrupted fall of rain, and, according to our ad
vices, the flood has extended very generally throughout
the State. From Atlanta to Macon, and from Macon to
Brunswick, wejjhave positive information of frequent and
heavy showers. The Central Road is reported to have
sustained serious damages, and our Savannah and New
York mails have suffered a detention upon the route. —•
The River at'this place lias experienced an unusual rise,
and great fears are entertained for the safety of crops in
this vicinity. The swamp lands are pretty generally over
flowed, and we are told that the corn growing along the
Tobesof kee is all under water. The sky is still threat
ening, and unless we have a speedy interregnum, not
only the corn crop, but the cotton crop, also, may suffer
serious detriment.— Geo. Tel. Sept. \?>th.
Terrible Aocident upon the Central Railroad.
An unfortunate man, by the name of Donohoe, came
to his death on the Central Railroad, on last Saturday
night, under the following painful circumstances ; In
consequence of the late heavy rains, one the abut
ments of the Bridge, crossing Walnut CreivV, had be
come very insecure, and at the firs pressure of the
engine, sunk from eight, to ten inches. The engine bo
ing thus thrown oft’ the track, drew (he train along the
timbers of the bridge, several of which penetrated the
cars, and one of them crushed Donohoe in a most hor
rible manner. His hips, thighs and spine, were aw
fully mangled—so terribly, that though he survived the
accident about two hours, lie is said to have experienced
little if any pain. The unfortunate man was an Irish
man by birth, and was on his road to Macon, for tlie
purpose of taking the place of head waiter at the Lanier
House. Jle was buried in this city on Sunday after
noon with the ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Church.

From Judge Barrington’s Personal Sketches of Ireland,
Fifty Years Ago.
INTERVIEW BETWEEN A. BURR AND GRATTAN.
Col. Burr, who had beon Vice President of
America, and probably would have been the
next President, but for his unfortunate duel
with General Hamilton, came over to England,
and was made known to me by Mr. Randolph,
of South Carolina, with whom I was very inti
mate. He requested l would introduce him to
Mr. Grattan, whom he was excessively anxious
to see. Col. Burr was not a man of very pre
possessing appearance; rough-featured, and
neither dressy nor polished; but a well-informed,
sensible man, and though not particularly agree
able, yet an instructive companion.
People in general form extravagant anticipa
tions regarding eminent persons. The idea of
a great orator and an Irish chief carried with it,
naturally enough, corresponding notions of
physical elegance, vigor and dignity. . Such
was Col. Burr’s mistake, I believe, about Mr.
Grattan, and 1 took care not to undeceive him.
. • We went to my friend’s house, who was to
leave London the next day. I announced that
Colonel Burr, from America, Mr. Randolph and
myself, wish to pay our respects, and the
servant informed us that his master would re
ceive us in a short time, but was at that moment
much occupied on business of consequence. —
Burr’s expectations were all on the alert. Ran
dolph also was anxious to be presented to the
great Grattan, and both impatient for the en
trance of this Demosthenes. At length the
door opened, and in hopped a small bent figure,
meagre, yellow and ordinary, one slipper and
one shoe ; his breeches knees loose; his cravat
hanging down ; his shirt aud coat sleeA es tucked
up high, and an old hat upon his head.
This apparition saluted the strangers very
courteously, asked, without an introduction,
how long they had been in England, and imme
diately proceeded to make inquiries about the
late General Washington and the revolutionary
wa'. My companions looked at each other ; ;
their replies were costive, and they seemed quite j
impatient to see Mr. Grattan. 1 could scarcely
contain myself, but determined to let my eccen
tric countryman take his course, who appeared
quite delighted to see his visitors, and was the
the most inquisitive person in the world. Rang
dolph was far the tallest and most dignified
looking man of the two, gray-haired ami u ell
dressed. Grattan, of course, took
him for the Vice President and addressed him
accord : ngly. Randolph at length begged to
know if they could shortly have the honor of
seeing Mr, Grattan. Upon which our host, not
doubting but they knew him, conceived it must
be his son James for whom they inquired, and
said he believed he had that moment wandered
out somewhere to amuse himself.
This completely disconcerted the Americans,
and they were about to make their bow and their
exit, when I thought it high time to explain ; and
taking Colonel Burr and Mr. Randolph respec
tively by the hand introduced them to Right Hon.
Henry Grattan.
I never saw people stare so, or so much em
barrassed ! Grattan himself, now perceiving the
cause, heartily joined in my merriment. He
pulled down his shirt-sleeves', pulled upliis slock
ingSj and in his own irresistible way, apologised
for the oillre figure he cut, assuring them that
he had totally overlooked it in his anxiety not
to keep them waiting ; that he was returning to
Ireland next morning, and had been busily pack
ing up his books and papers, in a closet lull ol
dust and cobwebs! This incident rendered the
interview more interesting. The Americans
were charmed with their reception, and alter a
protracted visit, retired highly gratified, while
Grattan returned again to his books and cob
webs.

The Weather. —We have had quite a spell of
wet weather within the past day or two, and as
will be seen by our report under the commercial
head, the river has risen fourteen feet since yes
terday afternoon, making 20 feet water in the
channel; and when we w'ent to press last even
ing, it was rising at the rate of six inches per
hour, and every prospect of more rain. It has
been raining in the upper counties for the past
three or four days, and will do much damage to
the Cotton crop, if it does not wash away the
Corn crops on bottom lands.
At Kingston on Friday, and for several days
previous, heavy rains fell. We learn the rains
in that section of Cherokee were general and
heavy. This w ill account for the small number
present at the Mass Meeting at Kingston. We
understand the speaking was all done within
doors.— Const. (Sg Republic, 1 1th.
