SATIKDAY EVENING.
How sweet the evening shadows fan,
Advancing irom the west;
As ends the weary week of toil,
And comes the day of rest.
Bright o’er the earth the star oi eve
Her radiant beauty sheds ;
And myriad sisters calmly weave
Tiieir light around our heads.
Rest, man, from labor ; rest from sin;
The world’? hard contest close ;
The holy hours with God begin ;
Yield them to sweet repose.
Bright o’er the morning ray
Its sacred light will cast;
Fair emblem of the glorious day
Thatevermore shall last.
Caleb Gashing.
We cannot conceive the motives which prompt |
our Whig brethren to assail General Cushing .
in the vile manner which we have witnessed in j
some of the journals of that party. On Friday j
last, the New Orleans Bulletin quoted the fol- 1
lowing paragraph, without a word of disappro- j
bation. It is extracted from a letter written by ;
the Postmaster of Worcester, Mass., in relation
to Gen. Cushing’s address, lately published, in
which he deprecates a coalition between the
Democrats of Massachusetts and the Freesoil
ers Just read the dirty language transferred
by the editor of the Bulletin to his columnsTvith
out a word of dissent, and with apparent satis
faction :
“The writer (Gen Cushing) is an enormous
hypocrite and scoundrel , and the person he writes
to is a paltry, peddling, huckstering knave.—
* * * But this interference with State legisla
tion is a matter which must be immediately cor
rected, or there is no independence likely to be
left. We are ready to co-operate with Slave
holders and Abolitionists, Hards, and Softs,
anybody and everybody to get rid of such a
monstrous tyranny as this. * * * But Cushing
is a hypocrite as well as a tyrant. There is not
a Democrat in the State more deeply implicated
in the coalition with Freesoilers than he is.—
He broke with tho Hunkers on this very
ground.”
We call upon every man wno has the least
regard for the decencies and proprieties of life, to
frown upon and discountenance this disgraceful
ribaldry and atrocious scurrility, aimed at one
of the high officers of the Government—a man
of profound erudition and brilliant genius, whose
attainments in science and literature and polit
ical lore are not snpassed by those of any indi
vidual now living in this country, or in any
other. This is the same Caleb Cushing who ex
pended large sums of money from his private
purse to clothe and equip the New England Re
giment of Volunteers, previously to its embark
ation for Vera Cruz, during the late war with
Mexico. The Whig Legislature of Massachu
setts, then sitting in Boston, had refused to ap
propriate a single dollar for that patriotic object
Cushing is possessed of an ample fortune, and
his regard for the welfare and glory of his coun
try, prompted him to do that which the men un
worthy to bo styled the representatives of Mas
sachusetts had refused to do.
We are at a loss to know’ what fault General
Cushing has committed to merit the savage ob
loquy and hideous abuse, lavished upon him by
the Whig freesoil newspapers. His piivate
character is entirely stainless; his public life is
distinguished by the great ability, integrity and
uselulness which have characterized it in what
ever scenes be has been called upon to act.-
He has lately issued a production of his pen,
intended, as he says, to assist in crushing the ef
forts of freesoilers and aboiitionists to over*
throw the federal constitution and dissolve the
Union. Surely this masterly essay, volunteer
ed in defence of our national institutions and
•f Southern interests in particular, deserves
not to be abused and villified (as we see it is)
with a dirty blackguardism that would not be
tolerated in the disputes of a decent forecastle.
What doe the, editor of the Bulletin and his
Whig coadjutors expect to gain for themselves
and their party by this war of slander and cal
umny upon the favorites of the Democracy, the
first and ablest statesmen of the country? How
and by what act or word has Mr. Cushing de
served the epithet “scoundrel,” re-echoed by the
Bulletin from some vile source in the North?—
He is a scoundrel because he served his country
in the Mexican war; he is a scoundrel because
at his own expense he supplied the New’ Eng
land regiment with equipments and warm cloth
ing on the eve of its departure for Vera Cruz at
an inclement season, after the Whig Legisla
ture of Massachusetts had shown the brave fel
lows the cold shoulder and the back of their
hands; because at the nick of time, previously
to the last Presidential election, he manfully
stood up for the rights and interests of the South;
because he has lately issued a most elequent and
masterly address calling upon the people of New
England to crush the unnatural faction of free
soilers and abolitionists, and beseeching the De
mocracy to shun all junction or coalition with
them. These are the offences which Cushing
has committed against the peace and dignity of
VV higdom. Y\ e know of no offences of his, and
never heard a man accuse him of any, against
the proprieties of life or the tranquility and honor
ol his country. —Louis itia, Courier.
James Gordon Bennett.— The Baltimore Times
has the following:
Bennett of the N\ Y. Herald, informs the
President and Cabinet, that’there is onlv one
power which he courts, and that is the natron
age of the Chambermaids of New York. He
asserts that the revenue from that valuable class i
of the New York worth more than 1
the French Mission, and intimates, it j s more
profitable than even the Presidency. An esti
mate is given, from which it appears that the
chambermaid “want’’ advertisements, in the
course of a year, amount to 854,000. ‘1 he !
French Mission is ouiv 10.000 and the Presi •
dene) trio,ooo—making a total of 535.000
leaving a clear balance in favor of the Herald ■
and the chambermaids of 819,000. Bennett
says that as jet the chambermaids have Holds
approved his courscin regard to general politics.
Wenher have they gone over to the •‘softs.'’ I he
tight accordingly will go on ; the Union back-
ed by the government pap, and the Herald’ by
the chambermaids. The only w’ay to reach the
Herald therefore is to turn the chambermaids
out. Where is Guthrie ?
And the Washington Star, the following:-
The Herald's indignant arguments against
i the policy of insisting plain costume lor Ameri j
can representatives in foreign countries, are pro-
I ductive of intense fun here. This arises fro* the
I fact that it is said in foreign diplomatic circles in
Washingtoh, that he acquired a taste for eourt
. dress w hen at Wiesbaden, where, rumor states.
’ he attended a ball so bedizened out in gold lace,
as to be mistaken by more than one dignitary
1 present, for a servant in attendance on the guests.
| However, it is probable that the order ot the
! State Department forbidding American repre
j sentatives abroad from drersing like lacqueys,
or organ grinders’ monkeys, will be rescinded
i quite as soon as he gets the appointment of
i American minister to France —quite as soon.

SATURDAY EVENING, DEC. 3, 1853,
The Assault and Battery Case.
’ Last Saturday, we had occasion to call attention to a
| brutal and desparate attack, without provocation, upon a
! ticket seller attached to Price’s exhibiting company.—
| Since then we are happy to know the offender has been
j presented to the Grand Jury, and a true bill form- tin
i der an indictment for assault and battery with in fen l
! to kill. This is well.—yet it would have been better
| had justice been meeted out more summarily, and ,n
j investigation been had the results of which might have
| been eptead before the community, inorder that ail could
have been apprised of the circumstances.
Wo were not a little surprised to find in the “Corner
Stor.e” a ‘‘Card,’’ by the offender, endeavoring to ex
-1 cuipate himself, by making statements so palpably false,
! that we require no better evidence of hl3 general char
, acter. We stated the facts as reported to us by the p. r
-1 son injured, which were likewise stated to the Mayor
of the city, and doubtless would have bc-eii confirmed
under oath, had his affidavit been required. In the
“card” publ.shtd in the “Coner Stone”—(we shall not
attempt to characterise a print, which under the eir
, cninstances, gives publicity to such a production.}—the
j writer’s Attorney states—and we give him the benefit of
1 liisdtf.nse: Ist. that he paid his money and went in—
2ndly that ho was bruitaily treated, while police or Mar
■ snails were present witnessing the transaction —3dly,
that he had no criminal designs upon the “pocket bool; ”
| To refute the first two statements, we give the fol
! lowing note from oue of the Marshalls:
Editors of the Times Sentinel — Gentlemen: I
nee by a publication in the “Corner Stone” of Thursday,
signed George Martin, the writer asserts that the “Mar
j shalls were present on the night to which he refers, and
j might have prevented the difficulty if they had inter
! sered.” I wish to state that no Marshall or other of
| fleer of the city was present. Furthermore, I can prove
j by h:3 own assertions on the night named, that he in
tended to enter the “show” without paying, and if pre
i vented was bound to raise a cote.
Very respectfully,
ALEXANDER M. ROBINSON-
Deputy Marshall,
.So much for his veracity off these two heads. As
| to his attempting to “rob” the evidence is not so plain,
i We made the whole statement as reported by the in
jured party, and very reasonably determined, that a man
who would deliberately attack another while in the pea
cible pursuit of his business, \vith*a butcher clever, who
would, to save the paltry sum of fifty cents, as was the
| fad, by refusing to pay the foe, and by endeavoring to
| force a passage; einiimger tl: file o; a fellow being, was
wicked enrugh to perpetrate other uqnally as great
| crimes. From an ye witness, however, who corrobo
rates the Assistant Marshall's statement, as to the en
acting of the programme 1 rid down by the offender for
the evenings frolic, we will not allege “rohbi ry’ ? in the
; catalogue of his designs. He in all probability wished
j to raise a “row,’’ and was not at ail particular how he
succeeded.
i He has learned one lesson from the occurrence, which
be will do well to treasure up, viz: That infractions
! of law, and defiance of anothers rights, will not always
go unpunished—that when a man shows himself dishon
est in one transaction, the world is very prone to consid
er him capable of other acts, involving equal or great
er criminality, and the best way to avoid unjust char
ges, is to give no grounds for just ones, (as he may not
always find those who would as readily render him jus
tico, as we have in the present instance.) And finally,
we would advise him, if, as he says, he is such a hard
working honest rnw, and if he “esteems his character
I ns his “jew ell” and his “wife and children” as corpar
cencits in the treasure, that he will in future save his
money, preserve his “jewel!” untarnished, live above
reproach, so that when he is laid in the grave the wid
ow and fatherless may truthfully say, “ he lived honora
i bly, injured no body, and proved his thankfulness to his
Creator.” by breaking no commandments.
We have devoffd more space to this affair than we
could well afford, but we opine that some service has
been done the community, in giving publicity to such a
shameless violation of law, and that it but shows how
necessary a thorough police system is to secure a proper
j observance of the laws,
W e are gratified to know that the city ordinances are
being amended, and that before the present session of
the Legislature closes, we shad have a code which if
enforced will suppress all rowdyism and rascality, and
| secure to good citizens protection against the* vicious
and wicked. If the city authorities are but faithful in
i the discharge of their duti- s, and the citizens sufficient
; !y interested for their own well-being to make proper
I exertions to secure such officers, Columbus w ill experi
cnee anew birth. We hope this spirit will actuate our
; citizens in the choice of officers for the ensuing year.

Milledgeville, Dec. 1.
We neglected to mention, that Mr. McDougalu, yes

portions of Muscogee, Stewart and Marion counties.
The bill to relieve Henry M. Buekhalter, of Harris
county, was taken up and passed. Mr. Buckhaltt r had

Removal of the Capitol to the Cnr o? Macon.
M-. Hardeman, of Bibb, offered a substitute for the
bill, leaving blank the site of the future capital.
Mr Strother, of Lincoln, moved as a substitute for
tho substitute, a bill refering the question of removal to
the people.
Mr. Strother did not deny that the Legislature had ;
the right to remove the capital to any place they might
select. The will of the people ceases at the ballot
j t) oX —but he thought the people ought to be consulted
jon all questions involving taxation. They had been
i taxed heavily to sustain public improvements and insti
tutions. They were promised that taxation should be
seduced. The present Legislature had not been dee- j
ted with reference to this question. The will of the
; people was not ascertained, and he was not willing to
• tax them, 1-2 million without consulting them.
7 - ‘ \
The bill of Mr# Hardeman, gave the selection of the j
1 si’e for the capital to the Legislature. He was opposed !
tJsuch elections by the Leglrireure. They v.are but j
i to often the result •:’collusion, shuffling and legerde- |
main. He therefore hoped tin. matter would be refer- ‘
! red to tho people. While he was in favor of removal, ;
ho was unwilling to tax the peope without their eon
-8(2 ut# * i
Smith, of DrKaib—it is admitted that the Legisla- ‘
i ture has the power io remove, but doubts are entertain- ‘
ed us to the policy of removal, it, is asked, if the ques
tion of removal was a test questoa in the election. In
j reply, he would say, that very few questions upon
which the Legislature act wore made test questions.—
The subject of removal had been long and fully discus
j eed in the newspapers, and the public voice was known. :
Th e reference of the question to the people would do
;no good. The subject was brought before the Legisla
j ture by the Governor, and it was of vita! importance to
i have the question settled at once,
j Walker, of Richmond, offered the following atnend
j meat to Mr. Strother’s substitute—“ Thai it shall re- ’
| quire a majority of the whole number of votes cast, to j
authorise a removal of the seat of Government.”
Mr. McComb, of Baldwin, moved to lay the subject
upon the table.
The Speaker ruled that Mr. Walker’s amendment
and Mr. McComb's motion were out of order.
j Mr. Reynolds, of Newton, was opposed to removal,
: but. would support the substitute of Mr. Strother. This
j was a sul-jt ct of vital importance; perhaps no question
of greater importance had ever been before the House,
it was simply a subject of taxation It would cost
1,000,000 to have the capitol. We now owe 2000,000
and no way to raise it, except taxation. There had
been no expression of opinion on the part of the people.
This body is called on to assume a fearful responsi
bility. We are the Empire State; he gloried in it, but
we ought to be plain, simple and democratic, and do
| nothing for show, lie was in favor of consulting the
people. Milledgeville was objected to for want of ac
commodations and accesaibili’y ; a number of them
were very willing to take the chances of getting here,
and the accommodations were as good as tin y had ant
right to expect. No town in Georgia could* accomo
date unusual crowds; for instance, State Fairs and
| °ther annual gatherings, when many had to camps out.
The last Legislature had given some assurances to the !
people oi Mihedgeviile, that it the Raiiroad was finish,
ed, that the capital should remain here. He would
vote to leave it to the people.
| Mr. Hardeman, of Macon, opposed the substitute of
i Mr. Strother. It had but one foundation to rest upon ;
rear of the people; he would scorn to be a blank in the
Legislature; he was willing to meet the responsibility
oi doing his duty, and if his constituents did not ap
prove of his action, they might send up someone else.
Ail bills making appro, rial one were tax bills, and
might as well be referred to the people as this. fl e
made no complaints as to the accommodations here.
Milledgeville was unsuited to be the capital, but he
would discuss this matter when the original bill came up.
Mr. W ard, ol Chatham—This question was an im-
i portatu one, cou could not be controlled by the eon
j venience of members. His course would be deter,uin
j b . v tnc abi!it V and resources of the State of Georgia,
j He was in favor of postponing the question until the
| Finance Committee made their report, and made a mo
| tion to this * iTect.
Mr. Lamam, of Campbell, was opposed to defay • ho
wanted members to m. t the question face to face: h’
it was and sired for the puip Stf of further light, l o wou and
not hesitate a moment t go for it; but all these mo-
Ums were designed to lave off the issue. The que?-
ton was the most important that had ever come before
die Legislature in 20 years ; it had been agitaud
ears ; it was a nightmare upon the people of Milicdge
,i,!e > !tt thd question be uow settled. Georgia, tiro
empire Sta eot the South, with her 1 ou,OOli votera
md teeming with wealth, needed a State Horn* Wyr ’ j
by of her. But if members shrunk from responsibility.
sbe it. Another LegiJuture would do it.
Mr. Ware, of Chatham —The gentlemen had ent'r*
y mistaken his motives. He desired to meet ihe issut
f ,ce to face, and at this session of the Legislature, Bu
he d.sir and a well digtsied measure and a full knnwl
9ge of the financial coudition of ihe State. No g* n
teman had determined bow much money if wou.d tak
t'>carry out the measure. ’lhe II use was not pr<-
pared for the. question. lie would at a proper time
vote upon this measure. He would not even vote foi
the substitute offered by the gentleman from Lincoln.
Mr. Latham, of Campbell, disclaimed any reference
to Mr. Ward in his remarks. This House was unwor
thy of Georgia. There w,.s much said about taxation.
Ass tax on the polls of voters, would bu Id a capitol
worthy of the State. lie was not afraid of the expense.
Georgians were a proud, spirited and pair-otic people. ll*
was in favor of stimulating this feeling, by building up
Ia capitol worthy of Georgia. The people were ready
for the question. It was due to MilledgevilJe, to settn
i the question. The people here were as kind and hos
pi table, as any in Georgia. He had as good accommo
dations here, as any where; he fared weil; such mat
ters has no influence with him ; other ana higher motives
operated upon. He would look to the honor, wealth
powtr and glory. The country had changed <n the
I last 40 years. The youngest of the 13. with a small
population, settit and over a wilderness; Georgia has now
taken the front rank among her sister States, &e.. &<•.
We represent th s great people, and speak their will,
and in the decision of this great question, we ought to
consult the best interest of the people. If we shrink
from this issue, we will act unworthy of our position.
He had no doubt the ques. ion would be decided
! correctly.
Reynolds, of Newton, was in favor of Mr. Ward’s
resolution. If any tiling could have convinced him of
his error, Mr. Latham would have done so. lie gave
so fine a description of Georgia, that he was proud that
lie was born and rais* and in Georgia; but if Georgia,
wished to maintain her position, she ought to pay Her
debts or never to have made them. He was still in
favor of having the responsibility shouldered by the
people.
Mr. Trice, of Pike— Would not vote for the location
ot the capitol any w here else but at Milledgeville, if
every room of the house was filled with 100 dollar bills.
The plighted faith of the State was pledged. If every
voter in Pike were to petition for the removal of tlie
capitol. he would not vote for it; lie Would resign hia
stat. Georgia had been described so brilliantly, that
he felt like shouting ; but how dud she become great ?
by working the ground. A few years ago, our bills .
were selling at 65 cents on the dollar; bat we had be
come great by industry. He would st.-nd by the
plighted faith of the State. Members were actuated
by selfish considerations; one would vote for Macon,
but if Macon could not get it, he would vote for Mil
ledgeville, and another for some other place.
Mr. Hardeman, of B.bb— His constituents had been
slandered, and he would expise the vipers who hud
been warmt u in their bosoms and stung them, He
had is fused to •ffl*r the bill. Macon had once made
an offer to ihe Legislature, which had been rejected,
and he was not di-post dto renew it. How had Geor
gia become great ? Not bv niggardly economy, but by
a bold and wise expenditure of the peoples money.—-
Members were afraid of bankrupting the State, One
di liar poll tax on her voters for a few years, would
build a capitol worthy of her. The people of Georgia
would not sliririk from the issue
Mr. Ward’s motion we-s put and carried.
On motion of Sir. philips, the whole question was
referred to the committee on finance. The motion to
print the bill and substitutes were lost.
