French Courtship and Marriage.
Did you ever see si French wedding ? Here J
you are on the St. Sulpice. Houses built for the j
great and rich, now deteriorated, degraded into j
sordid lodging houses, are on all other sides ;
out in the centre is the heautitul edifice of ist.
Sulpice, with its two open towers. It is gloomy
enough within—silent and solemn. But now
all is bright. If the light of the day comes but
dimlv tbrouuh the windows, hundreds of wax ■
candles illumine the aisles. On the stone floor
a rich carpet has been laid, rows of velvet and
gold surround the altar, and the altar itself the
maases of white camellas, roses, jessamines,
and white lilacs almost exclude the sight of the
sacred images. The aisles are filled with new
straw chairs ; the sacristans are in their best ;
the beggars in their worst —for that is their wed
ding garment. All stand in waiting round the
door. On the steps is the Suisse , looking to the
uninitiated uncommonly like the drum major of
a regiment, all good lace, with cocked hat and
feathers, and a sword by his side—in hand a
long pole with a silver knob. His legs are
models and he knows it. Now the carriages
arrive. The Suisse stamps his stick upon the
stones, and down gets the bride, led by her moth
ers—fathers are rather in the hack ground on
these occasions. The organs peal, and the
whole procession, headed by the Suisse, march”
es up to the altar. Then theaislos fill with eve
ry sort of magnificence of dress—one, two,
three hundred, or even a thousand people. Eve
ry body whose name was ever known to either
bride or bridegroom came of course to the wed
ding or at least to church.
While the question, “Wilt thou take this man?”
is addressed to the bride, she takes forever her
leave of maternal control, by turning with a
profound courtesy to her mother to ask her per
mission to answer. Mamma responds by an
other inclination, and then her daughter says
the “yes’’ which gives her her freedom ever
more.
The yougest sister or cousin of either bride or
bridegroom thenj handed by the youngest gen
tleman of the party, preceded by our friend of
the fine legs and his sounding silver polo goes
through the crowd with downcast eyes, and a
fine velvet bag in her hand, soliciting contribu
tions. “Poll les pauvres, a’il vous plait.” They
then adjourn to the vestry ; and then, for the
first time the bridegroom calls his wife by
her Christain name—though the mid bride does
not drop tee “Monsieur” till some days after she
has become a wife. Then there is a feasting at
home, dressing, dancing, and a little orying ;
then the bride installed in her home by her moth
er, leaves forever the parental roof.
Now, in all probability the two principal ac
tor haee never spoken twenty sentences to each
other since they were first introduced. This is
the way they cour t in France. One lady says
to another, “My daughter is eighteen. She has
much.’’ Every girl has a dowry if it be hut
500 francs. “You have known her from a child.
You see so many men—cannot you think of one
to suit her.”
Os course the lady can ; for men are as ea >
ger to marry in France as girls are to get hus- j
bands ; it is an increase of fortune and a patent
of respectability in all stations, in all professions. I
The young man rs spoken to, and of course the
young lady is named to him. A party is given
and they meet ; or sometimes the girl is taken
to the opera, and the lover examines her through j
his glass. If satisfied with the survey, he is al- j
lowed to pay her a visit. Then the girl, suppo
sed to be in entire ignorance of the proceedings
up to this point, is asked how she would like so j
and so fora husband.
Now, it is but just to say, if the girl does not j
approve, the negotiations go no further ; but as
she has never spoken to this suitor, and knows
she will not speak to any future suitor, if the
man is tolerably good looking and his tailor has
done his duty, why she being assured by her j
parents that the money is all right,general!}’ says
yes. Then the mama of the bridegroom comes
one evening when the house has been sot in or- j
der and everybody dressed in his best, and after
the first salutations, she rises and in a solemn I
voice asks the hand of Madlle, Estelle , for
Monsieur Achilla . Then the mamma on
the opposite of the house rises and accepts the
offer ; Madlle weeps and throws herself into her
future mamma’s arms; whilst the sou in law em
braces the mother of the intended. The papas
shake hands, the betrothed lovers, released from
parental arms, mutually bow to each other, and
the servants bring in tea.
Then the lawyers set to work to draw up con
tracts ; the mama orders new dresses, &c., for
her daughter, and puts new caps and dresses on
herself. The bridegroom comes every evening
with a grand bouquet, which he offers to Mad
emoiselle, flirts an hour or two with the moth
er, bows to the daughter and goes off*. The
bride elect has only to embroider quietly by her
mother’s side, smile, blush, and simper.
Then the negotiating lady comes in grand
state, preceded by an enormous trunk. Mam
ma and the bride receive her—never of course, i
heeding the trunk. Then the lady makes a speech
opens the trunk, and presents the bride with
the corbeilie namely, the wedding dress, veil, and
wreath, two or three Cashmere shawls, ditto vel-1
vet dresses, a set of furs, a set of lace flounces,
a set of diamonds, a watch, a fan, a prayer book
and a purse of gold. These come from the
bridegroom. In return the lady gets a bracelet
from the bride, and many thanks for the presents
and the husband. The mother scolds the inten- , !
ded for the reckless magnificence displayed, j
when he comes at night. The bride says, “Ah
monsieur! blushes and throws herself into her
mother’s arms. Then the mamma gives her pre
sents to the bridegroom—six cambric shirts and j
six white cravats, the whole trimmed with Va
lenciennes, chosen with an eye to the future
pocket handkerchiefs of the bride; for, after
the wedding day, what man will be bedecked j
with lace ?
At last comes the signing of the contract. The j
bride takes onestep into the world shereceives her I
visiters, and speaks—nay, converses with all ex
cept the intended ; that would be improper. She
gives a token of affection to her unmarried rel
atives, bought from the purse in the corbeilie
The wonders of the corbeilie are displayed in one
room, whilst the trousseau of the bride (given
by the mother) is exhibited in the other. Em
broidery, linen oambrie, laces, <kc., are here,
lavished on the pergonal underclothing of the
bride, made up in dozens and dozens of each ar
ticle ; piles on piles of table cloths, sheets, towels
&c., all marked and tied withjpink and blue
ribband.
This is the way they manage marriages in
France.

COLUMBUS, GEORGIA.
FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 4. 1853.
The Whig Press vs Second Congressional Dis
trict—Whig estimates of the results of the
late election—charges of bribery &c.
“Contrary to our expectations II.V. Johnson is Gover
nor elect of the State of Georrgia, by two or three hun
dred votes. We did onr utmost to prevent it, but the
people have decided, and we must submit. At all events
the reunited have not much of which to boast, and the
race was a noble one, and will not be forgotten soon. We
look upon the late election as an utter rebuke to the ad
ministration of Franklin Pierce. Going into power as
he did, with twenty thousand majority, the Union party
have reduced it to two hundred , and that majority they
gained by bribery in the second Congressional District
one hundred thousand dollars , having been spent in that
district to secure the election of Colquitt. These are facts
that have not yet been denied.”
We clip the above choice specimen of Whig fab
rication from the Washington Gazette , an insignificant
Whig Conservative sheet, the rural organ of Mr. Bob
Toombs. We should not notice the bare faced falsity
of the article, were it not that it but re-echoes the
senseless and malignant assertions that have been made by
other sheets of the same ilk, but claiming a more respec
table position.
The assertions that Pierce’s Administration has net
been sustained and strengthened by the late election,
and that bribery and fraud had been the means of se
curing Democratic ascendency in the Second District,
have been proved untruo in the one, and denied in the
other, so conclusively that none but those who in the
late contest waged the most ungenerous, dishonorable
warfare, would fail to acknowledge.
There are those whose assertions hare been so vile ;
whose habits have been so demoralizing, and whose
character has been so corrupt,that neither truth, nor a
ease of duty can have any effect upon a stolidity which
has become ingrained and which gives a coloring to their
every thought and act. Incapable of a noble impulse them
selves, they deny its existance in others. Accustomed
to resort to fraud aud deception, they become enraged
when an honorable antagonism defeats their diabolical
designs. Trained to delnagoguism, and schooled in
slander, they dare to strike their envenomed fangs
when imbecility has overtaken them, and made them
but things of scorn. Never in the history of political
warfare in this State has there been a contest, char
acterized by a more malignant, demon like, onslaught
than the recent one on the part of the Whig press
and Whig orators. Judge Johnson has been a very
Cataiine and the Democratic party conspirators all. With
the cries of disunion, filibustering, public robbery , red
republicanism, treason, affiliation with freesoilers they
have made the State to ring from mountain to sea board.
With the senseless and despicable combination of odds
and ends from all shades and shadows of every politi
cal stripe they hatched up a pie-bold, ring streaked,
striped and speckled advertising hand bill, of a “platform”
such as was never before concocted to gull an intelligent
and patriotic people. Defeated in a warfare thus waged
on their part well may they writhe and
With livid rage their shameless faces blacken.
As soon as the result was ascertained, the Second Dis
trict became the mark for their poisoned shafts. At
first the “inactivity” of the Whigs of the South
western counties was bewailed in lugubrious accents —
but the tone soon changed to corruption and foul piny
against the Democrats. Bribery and fraud have become
words as common in the Whig vocabulary os treason
end disunion had been during the canvass. Whig
reckoners estimated at first twenty-five thousand dollars
as the bribe fund 5 a little later and it reaches fifty
thousand, and now il is set down at a cool hundred
thousand. Continue your investigations gentlemen, and
perhaps you may eventually discover a secret mine
where biennially the mint drops are shoveled forth
without stint.
We think a more plausible reason ean bo assigned
however, for their vindictive imputations. Having by
an act of the last legislative session carved out the Sec
ond District to secure their own ends, they have been
thwarted and defeated in one of their intended strong
holds, and under the lead of their chosen Chief.
To militate as much as possible against the victory
achieved in this district, which gave the State to the
Democrats, scriblers have been busy at work with
their cock and bull stories, and a system of detrac
tion indulged in which will eventually recoil upon
the authors with more than seven fold power.
And the result has been an “utter rebuke to the admin
istration of Franklin Pierce.” Figures and facts it is
said, never lie, but they can be made to lie—we will let
them speak for themselves. In 1851, Pierce received
34,792 votes ; in ’53, Johnson reoeived 44,343. With
such a gain so palpably set forth, that any one “though a
fool could not err,” Whig editors have the hardihood
to controvert.
We will now let such knights of the quill as the editor
of the Washington Gazette , sink to their natural level.
It is seldom we reach down so far to drag up such fish
from their filthy beds, but having held them up to the
sunlight| a sufficient time to disp’ty their putrescent
qualities, we shall now let them drop to flounder with
their kind in congenial mud.
Accommodations at Milledgeville. —The Federal
Union says:
In respect to accommodations, Milledgeville, we un
hesitatingly say, is better prepared than ever to accom
modate visitors and the members of the Legislature.—
Besides our spacious Hotels, which are seldom crowded,
except during the first few days of the session, there
will be open, eight or ten private boarding houses,
which, alone, could accommodate two hundred persons.
Vistitors need not be deterred from coming to this oity,
from a fear of bad accommodation. Our crowd will be
large, but our Hotel proprietors have a way of pnttting
away large numbers, conveniently, which is not the
case iu other cities, as we have frequently noticed.
The late fire has uot in the least affected the arrange
ments for accommodating the visitors to the city. On
the contrary, it has extended the facilities for entertain
ment, by the opening of larger houses for reception.
California Congressmen. —The Hon. M. S. Latham
member elect from California, arrived in the Northern
Light, from California. Senator Gwin, lady and fami
ly, Senator Weller, and Hon. J. A. McDougal, were
to leave California on the etearner leaving on the sth
instant.
Stop the Clamor !
We hear daily complaints about the obstruction of
streets and side walks with carriages, wagons, refuse of |
shops, foundaries, &0., <fcc. until the matter ought no
longer to be overlooked. For the benefit of all concern
ed, we respectfully call the City bather s attention
to the following sections of the ei f y ordinances :
Sect. 13—No person shall place in any street or upon
any side walk casks, boxes, iron or other obstructions.
********
No person shall, without permission from the Coun
cil, deposit any building material or earth in an\ of the
streets or on any of the side walks of this city.
No person shall keep in the street or on any side ;
walk in said city any firewood or any species of wheel
carriage for a longer time than twelve hours.
l^uEKY —A friend at our elbow wishes to know what
rent the City Treasurer receives from Livery Stables,
Carriage Warehouses, fcc., for street room?
No person shall deposit in any street or on any side
walk any shavings *r brick bats, or other refuse of
‘ building material, or permit those there to remain for
a longer period than twelve hours.
The following paragraph supplies the desideratum in
j theory —
Any person violating any of the provisions of this
j gection shall be cited by the Marshal to appear before
j the Mayor or Mayor and Council, to answer such
charge or charges 5 and upon conviction thereof shall
be fined not exceeding twenty ollars for each vio
lation and for each day such violation may continue to
exist. [Whata bill some would have to foot if the ac
counts were balanced !]
For fear lest the ordnances may have become rusty
j in the memory of some, we call attention of those whose
duty it is to enforce them to the Forty-Ninth Section
which points out the manner in which the fines shall
be collected.
We have done our duty, Messrs. Mayor, Council
men, Marshal, Deputy Marshal, and hope you will
look to the ordinances. Remember “he that is faithful
over a few things shall be made ruler over many’’—the
converse need not be expressed. Some of you under
stand us. A word to the wise, &c.
HT’ We have been shown some sierescopic pictures
from Woodbridges Daguerrean Gallery —anew feature
in the art and which for finish and effect surpasses any
thing we have ever seen. Mr. Woodbridge, as will be
seen by reference to his advertisement, has recently rc*
turned with all the latest improvements in his elegant
art to which he lends a master hand.
1 O’* The Democrats of Stewart county have nomina
ted the following ticket for county officers:
For Sheriff—D. C. Thornton.
“ Clerk Sap. Conrt —E. F. Kirksey.
“ “ Inferior Court —D.W. Surles.
“ Tax Receiver—James Armstrong.
{yC/” The New Haven Register thinks the reason
why the thanksgiving proclamation of the Governor of
Massachusetts was so short, is to be found in the fact
that there are so many and various religious creeds in
j Massachusetts, that it is difficult to write a Proclama
tion that would be satisfactory to all !
Hon. John A. Dix and the Administration .—This
gentleman in a reply dated the 34th ult., to a request
to address a meeting at Rochester, N. Y., urges that
Gen. Pierces administration to be generously sustained
approves its policy as far as developed, particularly in
the Kosta case, and highly commends, from personal
knowledge, the Treaury Department as worthy of
praise.
0“ Commodore Perry’s squadron arrived at Japan
on the th 3th July, and left again on the 17th.

Governor of Vermont,. —Robison, the Democrat
ic candidate, has been elected Governor of Ver
mont.
United States Senator. —The Hon. Mr. Bell has
been re-elected to the United States Senate from Ten
nessee.
O’ The Hon. Henry R. Jackson, our Charge to
Austria, according to late acconnts made his official
visits to the Court on the Bth October.
Dr. Hines. —ln our evening edition we stated
that this notorious character had made a second
advent into onr city. Although we were tolera
bly sure of his idenity, as well as great manv
who had previously seen the Doctor, yet as he
had not acknowledged himself to be the renown*
ed swindler and forger, there was a slight doubt
on the minds of many ; but now every shadow
of doubt has been dispelled, for on being closely
questioned by the Cheif of Police, Mr. O’Leary, I
and recorder Winter, he became himself again, j
—discarded his aliases, and stood forth a self
confessed Doctor Hines—one of the most no- :
torious characters of the age. The Recorder I
questioned him as to the reasons which induced
him to return to the city, from which, a few j
years since, he had been so ignominously ex
pelled. He replied that he had come out here
on a speculation, and that he expected to make
sixty or seventy thousand dollars out of the
Government. It is very strange that coming
out here with such noble intentions, he should
have so soon surrendered up his higher aspira
tions, and stooped to the commission of s© petty
an act as the one he now stands accused of—
that is, swindling a small boy out of the insig
nificant sum of four dollars. We congratulate
our citizens upon the fortunate circumstance,
which led to his arrest and recognition, however,
for he might have made some of them bleed pret
ty freely.— N. O. Delta.
Senator Douglass among the Calmuck Tar*
tars —The Paris correspondent of the Cincin
nati Gazette , says :
Mr. Douglass has just returned from an exten
sive tour, which embraced Italy, Greece, Syria,
Turkey, Russia, Prussia, Belgium and France!
He leaves here Thursday, and after travelling
through Scotland and Ireland, will take steamer I
at Liverpool, on the 19th of this month, for the j
United States. He looks well, has enjoved his !
trip and is “chock full,’’ of good stories'', start- j
ling ad\entures, and intervention arguments,
with which to astonish the natives in °the next
sitting of Congress. He has had a long con
ference with Reschild Pasha at Constantinople,
with Count Nesselrode, at St. Petersburg and*
with many other great men ; and ha has oome to
the conclusion that Louis Napoleon is the great
est in Europe, that France is the best gorverneti
country, and her people the most enlightened’
Mr. Dounglass travelled over the principal parts
of Russia in a long carriage, which travelled
night and day at the rate of eight and ten miles
ai° hour. It contained a sleeping room and
kitchen, so that he seldom left it. He penetra
ted to the confines of Tartary, where a grand
annual fair was going on, at which there were
800,000 persons, Siberians, Russians, Aus
trians, Calmuck Tartars, Circassian, Georgians,
Turks and Persians.’’
[From the Augusta Constitutionalist.]
List of Premiums.
We have already published a list of the diffe
rent articles to which premiums were awarded
or honorable mention made. The following are
the remarks of the Secretary at the close of his
report:
The above list embraces the premiums award
ed at the annual Fair of the Southern Central
Agricultural Society, which closed on Friday
last in this city. The incidents of such a busy
week certainly suggest many and varied reflec
tions to those who observed them, and which,
no doubt, might be of profit to those who are
hereafter to participate, either as managers or
exhibitors in our Fairs. Unfortunately, how
ever, for him whose duty it lias been made to
sum up the matter —the everlasting, “Just one
word with you, Mr. Lewis,” and “step this way
| a moment,” have left him without the ability or
inclination to indulge in reflections of his own.
To the remarks and opinions of others we
may here briefly allude: It is said on all sides
tnat the number of exhibitors and visitors and
articles exhibited is below that of previous
Fairs. This is conceded. But it is true, at the
same time, that with the exception of field crops,
horticulture and floriculture, the exhibition has
produced more that is rare and valuable than
has ever any one exhibition. That the number
of articles is reduced, has probably been the re
sult of the new feature of the last premium list,
j which offers no premium for a “second best”
article.
Two leading questions have been brought
before the country by this exhibition, which,
of themselves, when satisfactorily settled, will
well repay the trouble and expense of holding
it. One of these questions is, “What is the
variety of Cotton which will produce the best
I staple in the Upland of Georgia—with the inode
! of cultivation and management before ginning ?”
I The gentlemen who were successful competi
tors for the premiums of the Warehousemen
and Society will be called upon for their views
in writing upon this subject, and these views,
when submitted, as they will be, to the public,
will fairly place this question before the
Planters.
The next question that has been incidentally
but properly raised by this exhibition, is “whose
Ciin gins the besl cotton in the best way to pre
: serve the staple.” This is a question as impor
| taut to the Planters to the Gin maker, and which,
in my humble judgment, it is important to set
tle as soon as practicable. The successful
j competitors for the cotton premiums, will also
’ be called upon to state the qualities of the gin
i and the name of its maker, as a beginning to
j wards the settlement. Ido not knew what the
| lacts elicited by the late contest between the
| gins would indicate. The gin of Mr. Latimer,
who took the first premium, was by Oglesby—
the gin of Mrs. Perrin, of Columbia, who took
the third pitcher, was by Wynn. Dr. Whit-
I ten’s gin, who took the 20 bale cup of the So
; eiety, was either by Oglesby or Henderson,
|of Covington. The 10 bales of Mr. T. J.
j Smith which took the Society’s cup, were five
by Parkhurst, and five by Oglesby’s saw gin.—
| So that perhaps nothing conclusive has yet
been reached on this point. I suggest that the
manufacturers of gins have their machines on
the ground at the next Fair, and that they be
tested by ginning cotton of the same quality
and a comparison of the staples &c., when
ginned.
The Society has closed its Eighth Annual
Meeting with a larger amount of silver plate on
hand and a larger cash balance, than ever before
—and what is better, with having produced a
stronger conviction in the public mind, of the
power of sucli a Society when well organized
and conducted to do good. The inefficiency of
the organization, as it now stands has engaged
the attention of the Executive Committee, and
they have appointed a special Committee to pre
pare an address to the people in December next,
upon the importance and plan of perfecting it.
The great desideratum is a permanent fund and a
permanent membership. Both could be obtain- i
ed by admitting life members at twenty-five dol
lars each, by which a large fund may be had,
the interest only of which shall be used for So
ciety purposes. D. W. Lewis, Secretary. j
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 24, 1858.
Jhetnale Delicacy. —Above every feature which
! adorns the female character, delicacy stands
I foremost within the province of good taste.—
’ ot that delicacy which is perpetually in quest
ot something to be ashamed of, which makes
merit of a blush, and simpers at the false con
struction its own ingenuity has put upon an in
! nocont remark ; this spurious kind of delicacy is
1 as for removed from good taste as from good
! feeling and good sense; but the high-minded deli
j cacy which maintains its pure and undeviating
war alike amongst women as in the society ot
men, which shrinks from no necessary duty, and
can speak, when required, with seriousness and
kindness of things at which it would he ashamed
to smile or to blush—that delicacy which knows
how to confer a benefit without wounding the
feelings of another, and which understands also
how and when to receive one -that delicacv
which can give alms without display, and advice
without assumption, and which pains not the
most humble or most susceptible being in crea
tion.
Influence of Health upon Opinions. —Verv
mortifying is the reluctant experience that some
unfriendly excess or imbecility neutralizes the
promise ot genius. We see young who owe us a
new world, so readily and lavishly they promise,
but they never acquit the debt; they die young
and dodge the account; or if they live, they lost
themselves in the crowd.— R. W. Emerson.
A Valuable Invention. —The most valuable
invention which we have seen for a long tim e
is one lately patented by Mr. Thomas Stubble
field, of Columbus, Georgia, and the manufac
ture of which is now extensively carried on by
our esteemed fellow townsman, Mr A. Fulton.
It is an alarm water guage, for the prevention
of the explosion of steam boilers. Whenever
the water passes below a certain point, the
whistle blows, reminding the engineer of his
neglect of duty, and at the same time inform
ing all on board of it. We have one on the
boiler of our steam press, with which we have
experimented, and find it to answer our highest
expectations. With it, it appears to us impos
sible that an explosion can ever take place, un
less an engineer chooses to commit wilful mur
der.
Mr Fulton is at present unable to supply the
demand lor them, but will place afi applications
on his registry, and fill orders as soon as possi
ble. We commend it to the attention of om
steamboat friends, many of whom have already
availed themselves of its advantages.—Ex
