Tho following pretty little lyric was written by Ca tharine Hayes, the "Swan of Krin " Dear F.rin, ere I leave thy shore, Reoeivo my sad. sincero adieu; Should Kathleen never scothco more, Her heart's best love to theo is due.

As they contain a i compliment to the meritorious young man who ; built the Anurica, which heats all England, per- t haps they ought to be published in some Home \ Journal. They proved to be as follows : \ Yankee Doodlo did not know, s When he went a sailing, t What the Dickens he would do. i If it proved a failing. t "If Johnny Ball should beat me now, As I am going to yot him, ' I II try it over any how, * Another time —dod rot him.'" - - So Doodlo filled his mainsail full, £ And bade good bye to fear, i And fairly beat the British Bull, ; With one good Yankee “ Steer ." , Now, never mind, dear Uncle Bull, Although you are done “ Brown,'’ You'll only take the longer pull, Because you are pulled down. Note. —Steer, the contractor; Brdwn, the builder, t Matrimony A lecture on this subject was delivered last * week at Newark X. .1.. by Fark Benjamin, , Fsq The Daily Advertiser has some notes ol j it. which are subjoined : I Many portions of his lecture approached the | soberness of a sermon—it was when he felt the ( sacred importance of Matrimony. At times he was logical, earnest, conviciiig, and at others, sar- [ eastic, and then the under-current of his life had . full scope. His paraphrases and epigrammatic points were as abrupt in their constructions and j endings, as the best of Victor Hugo s. ( ‘"lfa man marries." said he, “from a mere ( impulse, of his highest mind, while he is in ha- . bitual subjection to the lower, the impulse will i pass away, while the habit stands fast, and the man will find that he has introduced a discord into his life, or rather that he has composed it in the wrong key.” This is truth—apparent asliis simile. Again : " Those who resolve to marry on small means, against the wishes of their relatives and friends, should always consi<ler that they are settingup a claim to an extrordii.ary share of excellent virtues ; and they should not expect their claim . to be readily acknowledged unless it be founded, not merely on good intentions, but on actual savings, on ascertained facts of fruguality and habit of self-sacrifice.” And this advice is worth more than all the sophisms of the schools, or ora cles of Delphos." On early marriage: “It de- | pends, like many other things in this world, up- i on circumstances. I have strong doubts whether early marriages are at all advisable, notwith standing Dr. Franklin s opinion to the contrary. M’e believe there's more philosophy and sound ness in the doubts than in the Doctor. Hear his suinming up ol the requisites for connubial bliss. ▼ Look upon amiability of disposition, as the first of characteristics in one's partner for life— second, good principles; third, good sense; fourth, good breeding: fifth, good education. Amia bility includes good temper and a good heart; goods principles includes decision of character and religious and moral worth; good sense com prehends talents and taste; good breeding takes in politeness, demeanor, manners; good educa tion, all other good things that are needlul to nuke up a perfect woman.” F.arnest and pow orlul was his reference to the value of virtue in both saves, “ that religious regard to duty, constant rejection of wrong, and that nice sense of mo desty and honor which distinguish the pure minded and right-minded.” In a word, the men tal and moral attributes of a Christian. He believes that there never was a marriage w ithout disappointment, but, notwithstanding his convictions, “ that the most singularly feli citieus unions are marred by some disappoint ments,” asserts “that most marriages are atten ded by more sunshine than storms.” Con solatory this, to the clouded bachelor looking forward for matrimonial sun rays. Divorces he was very severe with, and deprecated any laws which made them easily procured. The male sex came in for more than their share of satire. Praise the wife and admire the daughters, abuse the men and ridicule their pretensions, are tricks that English Parliament seekers well understand. Mr. B. followed the cue with consummate abili ty, and secure with the fair sex, is sure that the “ lords” will knock under. How well he hits off “ Young America.” “ Talk ol the vanity of woman ! Is there no vanity in man ? Show me one girl with her pretty head stuffed lull of conceit of her own beauty and consequence, and I will show you fifty youths, upon whose lips the small down, by much coaxing, has ventured to appear, and a hundred hirsute dandies,exulting in a facial crop of spontaneous growth, who are more perfectly pos-sessed with a self-satisfied estimation o', their own irresistible charms than any miss in her teens. Each of these apologies of men fancies every woman whom he happens to encounter, desperately enamored of him. and is fully per suaded. in his own mind, that he bears to the fair sex the same relation whish the late Capt. Mar tin Scott did to the raccoon— ‘ Don't fire,’ said a coon to the Captain, as the latter was about rais ing his unerring ride, 1 1 will come down.'— 'Don’t pop the question,’ says some fascinated damsel to any one of these exquisite lady-killers. I will marry you. All that these conquerors ol these lairs, these Civsars in their own esteem. am V- 1 * s comc > an, t see. and conquer." — aW this is in the lecturer's richest vein of satire —it is good, very—but the exact, “ fifty youths” anil “ hundred hirsute dandies," is as arithmetical as the rule ol three; and the comparison of the “ coon.” certainly is not favorable to the bud ding. though “ fascinated" damsel. “To Adam. Paradise was home. To the good among his descendants, home is Paradise.” With his pithy apothegm, Mr. Benjamin concluded his lecture. That it was well received by the au dience, the frequent bursts of laughter and ap plause are sufficient proofs. Popular, it will be, — the subject itself is attractive—and, on such a subject, all was written and said that was, per haps, desirable. [From the Farm Jounuil.] The Cultivation of the Fear on the Quince Stock. The cultivation of the pear on the quince stock is now attracting more attention than at any for mer period. and large importations are annually made from Europe. Our own nurserymen are preparing to supply the demand, and give us the advantage of growing our native varieties, which are unequalled in [Hunt of hardihood, flavor and productiveness. Presuming that many of your readers arc in terested in the growing of choice fruits, 1 wish to call tiieir attention to advantages possessed by this stock under proper management. It has been asserted that the pear on the quince is short-lived. Fortunately, this is a mere assertion, not sustain ed by facts. The prominent objection to the quince stock is, that it is liable to be attacked by tli* “borer" in common with apples. It is well known, that the quince propagates by cuttings with the greatest facility, producing from the ! pail inserted, numerous fibres, and the older the ! wood, the more readily it roots. Advantage lias been taken of this, to plant the sloth some live or six inches below the surface of the earth. Thus • planted, it is exempt from attack, and the quince roots to the junction with the pear, giving ad ditional thrift and supjiortto the tree. 1 The nuiiice grows well in most any soil, but thrives best in a damp situation; and to be sue- , cessfully grown, requires an annual application of . well-rotted manure two or three inches in depth, and in quantity proportionate to the size of the 1 tree. It may be applied in the month of No- ' veiuber, on the surface of the earth, and by s| ring, , what remains can be turned under with the spade. The application of manure directly to ! 1 tile roots of trees, especially to those just planted, j i is a most pernicious practice, and very often fatal ; j tb the tree. j ( Tbe merits of this stock are— First. It comes 1 very early into bearing, producing a fair crop of 1 fruit tbe third year from the bud. < JF* * * 0 "‘’j 1 4 "' ' ■ —-1 .ty the fruit. Indeed, the contrast between the fruit . grown on the pear stock, and that grown on the quince, is almost incredible, as regards both size and flavor, and many of your readers if shown a Seckel pear, a Bartlett or a Buerre du roi (the deteriorated Virgalieu) grown on this stock, would scarcely recognise them. Third. The limited space required to grow the trees; which seldom attain an altitude beyond twenty feet, thereby giving facility lor collecting the fruit without injury. Fourth. It transplants with certainty, without checking the fruiting qualities of the tree. As ' ( an instance, in March 1 transplanted a Buerre , Diel pear tree on the quince stock; it was then showing flower-buds—the following September 1 I sent the fruit to the Horticultural Society's Ex- j hibition, where it received a premium. The trees were about six feet high nearly en r/uenou itlc or cone shaped. It has also been asserted that the pear or quince j is not adapted to orchard purposes. 1 think time and experience will prove the assertion ail error. It is certain, the French and Belgians have used j it, and are noWusing it most extensively for or chards, and find their profit in it. We do not claim for this stock that it will produce the quan- j tity of fruit that the pear stock will, but we- do ! claim, that from a given number of square yards undei cultivation, it will produce a greater weight ; of fruit and of better quality. The French fruit growers have almost invariably adopted the coni cal or quenouille style of training, and plant the trees in rows eight or ten feet apart. Fortunes have been realized from the cultiva tion of the peach; at best a very uncertain crop, and under the most favorable circumstances, a fruit which decays within a week after ripening. The tree itself is of short duration, not existing beyond a period often years under the best man agement, and thousands of peach trees in the or chards of New Jersey are exhausted in half that j time: whereas, we can point to pears on the quince stock twenty years of age, producing re- I | gularly. heavy crops of fruit, and yet they do not exhibit the first symptoms of decay. Added to which, the superior keeping qualities, and the immense variety of this delicious fruit, succeed ing each other from July to April, renders it worthy the attention of every cultivator of the soil. ! Our climate is every way adapted to the cul ture of the pear on this stock, and we hope to see , the day when orchards not “few and far be- 1 tween," will amply repay, in a pecuniary point of view, the enterprising husbandman. James D. Fulton. Philadelphia. April. 1851. Presidential Caucusing. —lt is stated in the New York papers, that the leading members of the Cabinet of the late President Polk are assembled in that city at this time, and engaged in concocting a scheme to defeat the movement j in favor of Judge Douglas, of Illinois, for the Presidency, and to secure the nomination of Mr. Buchanan, of Pennsylvania. We are informed by a gentleman who has just returned from Baker county, that on Friday morning last, there was a severe frost throughout . the Southwestern counties, which killed the cot ton crop.— Sav. Rep. 2'Jth inst. Movements of Father Mathew.— lt is now j ; announced, New fork Commercial,that j i the Rev. Theobald Mathew will postpone his i departure to the Bth of November, Mr. Collins i having kindly offered to transfer his passage . ticket from the steamship Atlantic to the Pacific. : It is said that this change has been occasioned in 5 consequence of great numbers of persons crowd . ing into the city to receive the pledge from the - hands of the great preacher of total abstinence. ; Since Sunday last, ten thousand persons have s taken the pledge. Mr. Collins was not the only gentleman who tendered Mr. Mathew a free 3 passage. We learn that Mr. Grinnell and Mr. r Kermit each made a similar offer of a berth in a one of their packet ships. AVGUSTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1851 AUGUSTA, GA. THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 30. THE LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE STATE. Auction Sale of Coons imported direct.— The Charleston Courier says: “A reference to the auction advertisement of M. C. Mordecai, in this day’s paper, will show that on Tuesday, the 11th of next month, he will ofl’er at public sale, a large quantity of Sugar and other Merchandize, of direct importation. Dealers will do well to lay in stock. The papers in other places, direct ed to copy the advertisements, will please note the attention of the sale from the sth to the 11th November, which has been made to give distant merchants an opportunity to forward their or ders.” In addition to the sales of German and Mus covado Sugars published by us yesterday, and re published this morning, it will be seen that Mr. Mordecai, on the same day. will sell a cargo of Rio Coffee of direct importation. It always af fords us pleasure to call the attention of our read ers to sales like those noticed above, and we hope such merchants as import direct to our Southern cities will me t with encouragement ami support from merchants in the interior. By building up and supporting direct importations, much money will lie saved at home that row finds its way to Northern cities. Cotton Destroyed. —We learn from the Dallas (Ala.) Gazette, that a disastrous fire oc curred at Cahawba, Alabama, on the night of the 22d instant, which destroyed property to the amount ot 8100,000. Amongst this was a cot ton house, containing 2,360 bales of Cotton, all ol which was burned. The business portion of the community suffer greatly. General Worth and Cuba. —The New-Or leans Picayune, of Wednesday last, publishes a letter from J. T. Sprague, Captain and Brevet- Major, 11. S. A., dated Fort Croghan, Texas, on the 10th inst., which corrects an impression that has long been prevalent, that the late and much lamented Brevet Major Gen. Worth, U. S. army, was willing to lend his name and personal aid to an invasion of Cuba. ‘The statement tur ltished is clear and indisputable, and the Captain states, that, although importuned frequently, botli by influential Cubans, as well as by his own fellow-citizens, to lend his aid and his name to the Cuban expeditions, the General never for a moment enterta'ned the idea of resigning his commission, which he had held forty years, or of participating in what was then a popular movement; but he came to the frontier of Texas in the discharge of his duty, and died there. “It is just and proper,” says Major Sprague, in con clusion, “that the truth should be known, and the public mind disbused upon this subject. It is due to his name—to his services—to his country, should not he connected with a cause having so little to commmend it, and which has terminated so fatally.” Sailing of thi: Daniel Webster fob Cali fornia. —The Daniel Webster has just sailed from New York, crowded with passengers, hav ing in tow the “Central America,” a steamer of 350 tons burthen, intended to navigate Lake Nicaragua. Thu Central America was contract ed for on the Ist of September. Since that pe riod she lias been built, and completed in every part,—steaming, in tow of the D. W. with lines attached, thus presenting a novel appearance. Mr. Vanderbilt, who lias gone out with them, lias built, we are told, during the last twelve months, six ocean steamers, and (our river steam ers. The “Northern Light” a vessel of 2,300 tons burthen, will be launched - on Saturday, which will, together with the Daniel Webster, take her place on the Atlantic side. The Louisville Courier, of the 17th instant, says— It is a singular fact, that while all the impor tant provision markets of the world are declining daily, great excitement and high prices prevail in the hog market; and it is very evident that hogs are too high, or provisions are too low. And it may be well for all parties to remember, that high prices for hogs do not always result in high prices for their product. In the last sixty days pork has declined in New York and New Or leans about 82 per barrel, and bacon sides have just giveir way 2 cents per pound in Cincinnati. The American Commissioner, to the Great Fair (Mr. Riddle) has written home a letter to Mr. Secretary Kennedy, in which he says, that as the show drew to a close the interest increas ed, that the American department attracted ' more and more attention, that “our countrymen will not only reap a rich reward in medals, -but. in sales; our agricultural implements are all sold, and orders given for more; the greater part of our j machinery sold, as well as a large number of i : patent rights; the principal part of the carriages | | disposed of, and many sales of other property j made. Mr. Riddle says he is busy in adopting a j J system for repacking of the goods "which are to ! go back, and for the delivery of those which are , sold. The Census in the United States and 1 Great Britain. —Mr..Kennedy, who sometime ! since visited England for the purpose of making i j inquiries relative tp ibaking up the census' sta tisticsof that country, states, says the Baltimore 1 American, that there is hut little analogy be ! tween the census returns of the two countries. 1 The census in Great Britain, as has been stated | heretofore, was taken in one day. The returns include none of the agricultural and statistical tables which fill as great a space in the i returns as they are prominent in relation to' the i interests of the country, and a knowledge of ! their advance or decline necessary to an under standing of our condition and progress. The j British census agents confine their attention to jan enumeration of the living population, and j take no statistics relating to mortality, and omit [! a great variety of facts of much interest and | importance. Mr. Kennedy states that 44,000 persons were employed in taking these limited details, while in this country the taking of the entire census, statistical information included, employed only 3144 marshals and assistants. Considering the relative extent of England and Scotland with our own country, it will be an easy matter to ascertain how disproportionate was the duty to be performed, and how much more satisfactory are the census returns of the United States than those of Great Britain, al though the former occupied the time ol’ 3,144 persons and the latter that of 44.000. It would seem from the above facts that John Bull can take many usclul lessons of Brother Jonathan, and it is more than likely that before another census is taken, he will ask the question, “How is it done in the United States'” Charley May, the hero of the dragoon charge at Ivesaea de la Palma, is in New Orleans, on his way to Fort Mason, on the frontier of Texas, to take command of a squadron of dragoons. The Delta says he created a great sensation in Ha vana. His stalwart figure, manly carriage, and gallant manner, impressed the Spaniards with a great awe and respect for American prowess and 1 character. I he Weather and the Crops. —On Friday morning last (says the Milledgeville Federal Union.,) there was a large frost in our vicinity. The weather continues to be lair and dry, af fording the planter a beautiful season for Cotton picking and harvesting. We see no abatement in the price of com. Our neighbors of Ten nessee are not quite so had oft—they would do a good business by shipping several thousand bushels to points in this section of the State. There is one thing certain, they need not drive their hogs down, while the prospect for the corn crop continues'so unpromising. Cut them up and Salt them, and send them down, that will be better. Hi i.ledc eville Railroad. —The Recorder of the 28th inst. says; “The Cars for the accom modation of the public travel, will commence running daily on our Railroad to-morrow, leaving ties vicinity each morning at 7 o'clock and re turning in the afternoon. Passage through to Macon during the Fair, eighty cents. \ irginia Election Returns.— The returns of the Congressional elections in this State come in slew, and in a very confused state. The results in several ot the districts, however, may be sum med lip thus: hirst District. —Gen. John S. Mi 1 Ison, deuio crat, re-elected over Cowper, whig. Second District.— R. Kidder Meade, democrat, re-elected without opposition. Third District. —No returns. Thos. H. Avery, democrat, late member, and 'l'. S. Flournoy, whig, are llie candidates. fourth District. —Thos. S. Bocock, democrat, re-elected over Bolling, whig. Fifth District. —The contest is close between Fatilus Powell, democrat, and Goggiu, whig. Siilh..lßsirwt.— John S ,r'i>i.Lj ( . Democrat, is Seventh District. —Judge Bayley, democHt, rev- - elected without opposition. Eighth District. —A. R. Holliday, democrat, re-elected Withput opposition. Ninth District. —Jas. F. Strother, whig, elected over Morton, whig, late member. Tenth District. —Charles J. Faulkner, whig, is elected over Beitinger, dem. This is a whig gain. ■ Faulkner’s majority in Frederick county is 251, in Carkeley 370, in Jetlerson 175, and in Mor gan 175. and three precincts not heard from, while Bedinger has 5 majority in Clarke, anil 75 ill Warren, leaving Faulkner a clear majori ty of 804, and Page ami Hampshire counties to be heard from. Eleventh District. —John Letcher, dem., elected without oppositon. Twelfth District. —If. Edmondson, democrat, re-elected, without opposition. Thirteenth District. —Fayette B McMullen, de mocrat, re-elected, withoutopjiosition. Fourteenth District. —No returns. .1. M. H. Beale, late member, and Samuel L. Hayes, liotli democrats, and Gen. Smith, whig, are the candi dates. Fifteenth District. —Geo. W. Thompson, dem., elected over Haymond, whig. A democratic gain. A very heavy vole has been thrown in favor of the new Constitution. The Legislature elect, we presume, will be composed of a majority of democrats, hut by the adoption of the constitution their election is ren dered null and void. Another election for mem bers of the legislature, and other State officers, takes place on the Bth of December next. Another YaNkek Triumph. —The London Morning Chronicle, of the 24 th of September, has the following notice of specimens of Brussels, carpets, woven upon power looms in the manu factory of Mr. Bigelow, the inventor, at Clinton, Mass., which were recently sent to the Great Exhibition:— “The American department lias again receiv ed an important accession of strength in the shape of some specimens of Brussels carpet, woven upon power looms. Although various attempts have been made to adapt the poYver loom to carpet weaving in England, there is not, we believe, at this moment, any machinery pefected for that object. Our American brethren have therefore gained another step ahead of us, and have won another laurel on this well-contested field of the industrial arts.” A Potato gathering Machine is in operation in New Hampshire. It is attached to a wagon. The wagon is placed atone end of the potato field* with oxen or horses attached, and as it passes down the rows, digsJhe potatoes, separates them from the dirt, and loads them into the wagon ! The Cincinnati Commercial ol'tlie 18th inst. says:— The “killing season” threatens a later com mencement than for several years past, on ac count of the drouth. Thousands of hogs which should now be here, are detained in the interior of Kentucky in cousequence of the country through which they afe tt> be driven being en tirely destitute of water. -Should the drouth con tinuejof course there will be 8-delay in operations, and our butchers must necessarily hold back. The Hungarians at tub West.— The Chi cago Advertiser, of the 16th inst. says, the Hun garian exiles, who have arrived in that city, des tined for New Buda, find it impossible to proceed, and at the same time provide the means of sub sistence during the approaching winter. Some of them find employment on the railroad. The funds at present in their possession are less than four dollars to each person, on an average. Why don't the Chicago people give them a lift? Pork and Beef.— We copy the following from the St. Louis Intelligencerofthe 14th inst.: Our packers are now prepared to commence business, their houses have been put in order, and every thing made ready for the opening of the : approaching season. By the close of the present I month, operations will have fully commenced, if we are to take former years as a criterion. As yet we have heard of hut two or three important contracts for future delivery. A few days since, we mentioned the sale of 1500 head, stall fed, at >1,30. On Saturday last we were informed of additional contracts, viz: 200 No. 1 corn fed, from St. Charles county, delivered next month, at 84 25 ; part ol the purchase money paid now, ad vance equal to 81 30 per head. One thousand head of Illinois corn fed, to net 210 lbs., deliver able in December at 84 50: and 1 00 head, to net 210 lbs., deliverable from the 15th to the 20th of November at 81 50. The market cannot be considered fully under way as yet, but from all we can learn wo believe tnat the opening price lor No. 1 hogs will range from 81 10 to 81 50. Cattle. —Some few beef cattle have been purchased for packing at S 3 50. But no consid erable number of good cattle can be had at this price. About 260 head have been secured by one packer, and this embraces about all we have heard in this line up to the present writing. It is generally supposed that the number of hogs to lie packed in this city this season will he equal to that ol last, and in weight full 10 per cent, heavier. The total number last season fell short of 00,000. [Telegraphed for the Baltimore Sun ] Further by the Steamer Pacific. New-York, Oct. 26. Ihe steamer Pacific has arrived, having made the rim from Liverpool in 11 days. Her passage has been rough, with head winds and a heavy sea. She brings 160 passengers, among whom are Mr. Seward Randall, bearer of despatches from France; Mr. Robt. Bowyer, also bearer of despotches, and Mr. F. Hesse, the Russian Charge d’Allaires to Central America. Markets. —Cotton has declined id. on lower qualities. The sales on Monday and Tuesday were 12,000 bales, of which exporters took 5,000 bales. Breadstufts were not so brisk and prices were easier. Sales of Western flour at 18 a IDs,; Philadelphia and Baltimore 18s. Gd. a IDs.—- Mixed corn 25si 6d. a 265., white 27 a 28s.- yel low 26 a 265. 6d. Pile produce markets, generally, had opened more steadily. Trade in Manchester was dull and declining. London Money Market. —Money was easier— Consuls closed at 96j a 96{, being a slight de cline. Railway shares were depressed. Foreign stocks unchanged. Mexican stocks dull. There had been large sales of American stocks on for- 1 eign account. England. —The Europa arrived on the even- ' ing el the 11th. At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Spen cer, Aslilin & Co . that linn made an offer of 3s. 6d. on the pound, which was refused. The Queen, accompanied by Prince Albert, visited the Great Exhibition on the 13th. Kossuth had not yet arrived at Southampton, j but most active preparations were making for his reception. i’he Great Exhibition closed to the public on i the 11th, and would close finally oil the 15th, , when the juries would report. France.— The Paris iiappm*-" - '-’" " 1 persons arresVciY wr . "Nothing definite would be known of the ru mored ministerial changes until a meeting of the Cabinet on Tuesday. The Bourse closed dull—fives 90f. 60c. for the end of the week; threes 55f. 50c. Spain. —Ministerial changes weie spoken ot at Madrid. The Cologne Gazette publishes a letter from Madrid, w’liich states that at a cabinet meeting held on the Bth, a proposition was made by Mil- j nillo to sell Cuba and Puerto Principe to England j for $150,000,000, which sum, he said, represent ed the capital of the revenue Spain received trom ] these islands. Letters from Madrid announce that Gen. Ar meiro had resigned his office of Minister of Marine, and would probably be succeeded by M. Danal. Austria.—The failure of the Austrian loan is confirmed. Letters from Vienna state that the ministerial crisis so far as the minister of {the] home depart ment is concerned is over—the members of the cabinet having taken oaths of fealty to the Em peror. * Where will they go. There are but three parties in Congress. The Democratic, the Whig and Free Soil party, and Messrs. Chastain, Murphy, and Hillyer will have to-join one of these parties or remain in a gang by themselves. The representative from the 2d Congressional district will have no diffi culty in finding his Company, he will find in Congress several who entertain sentiments pre cisely similar to those which he professed before ho was nominated for Congress, he will find plenty of Congenial Spirits. But what will the Representatives from the 4th, sth and 6th dis tricts do? (there is no Constitutional Union party in Congress.) —ls they follow the lead of Toombs and Stephens and join the whig party, their democratic constituents will find out that they have been betrayed, and repudiate them forever. If they go with Messrs. Jackson and Bailey into the Democratic fold, the whigs that helped to elect them will see that they have been sold and will make a fuss in the Union family. This in teresting Union family, has been kept together in Georgia by the hope of office. In Congress they will have to join one or the .other of the great national parties, or be no where.— Federal Union. 28 th inst. New Mode of Locomotion.— We have heard of a new style of carriage to be used oil common roads and in the streets of the city, te be propelled by the weight of a single man. The structure is firm, with driving wheels four feet two inches in diameter, with an elegant wire frame work body, with seats for two per sons over the front wheels, which are four feet in diameter. A speed equal to fifteen miles per hour can he easily attained, although it is design ed to run but about ten miles per hour. This new carriage is the invention of a well known city mechanic, who proposes to make a public exhibition in the streets sometime next week, when the utility of this novel mode of locomo tion will he fully tested.— N. Y. Tribune. Beatii of Capt. James D. Knight. —We re gret to learn through the medium of a private letter received here yesterday, from an officer of the U. S. Ship Germantown, that her comman der, Capt. James D.
