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. ! (limes mtb Surdmel ’ COLUMBUS,'’GEORGIA. 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. ! ; UT We return our thanks to the Hon. J. W. Jack son, for r, copy of l atent Office Reports, 3r.d for a * splendid bound copy of the Congressional Globe. VW will take pleasure in referring to these valuable public documents, which make quite an accession to our Li brary.

Milledgeville, Dec. 1. We neglected to mention, that Mr. McDougalu, yes terday, introduced a bill to form s new county out of 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 purchased of the State, a fraction of land, to which it had no title. 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. The House adjoin md. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Milledgeville, Dec. !.

Mr. McGehec-—A bill to provide for taking the an- swers of respondents in Chancery who reside out of the limits ot the State. Mr. Jones—A resolution to allow the Secretary of : State to employ a cleik during the present session of the Legislature. The adoption of the resolution was urged by Messrs’. Jones, Cone and Green upon the j ground that the business of the secretary’s office had accumulated during the session, and it was impossible for him to do it before the adjournment of the Legisia ture. It was opposed ov Mejsrs. Moseley and Dunna gan, on the ground that lie had accept, and the office, knowing the salaries and the duties of the office, and he ought to be held to his bargain, and if an extra deck was required for the Senators, they ought to pay ms salary out of their own pockets.
