Sigourney : {From the T /dan Magazine for Junnanjj .) The Thriving ’family— A Song-- BY MRS. L. H. SIGOURNEY. Our father lives in Washington, And has a world of cares, But gives his children each a farm, Enough for them and theirs, — Full thirty well grown sons has he, A numerous race indeed, Married and settled, all, d’ve see, With boys and girls to feed. And if we wisely till our lands, We 're sure to earn a living. And have a penny, too, to spare, For spending, or for giving. A thriving family are we, No lordling need deride us, For we know howto use our hands, And in our wits we prid .* us j Hail, brothers, hail.— Let nought on earth divide us. Some of us dare the sharp north-east, Some, clover fields are mowing ; And others tend the cotton plants That keep the looms agoing. Some build and steer the white-winged ship?, And few in speed can mate them ; Wliile others rear the corn and wheat, Or grind the dour to freight them. And it our neighbors o’er the sea, Hare e’er an empty larder, To send a loaf their babes to cheer We ’ll work a little harder. JCo old nobility have we, No tyrant king to ride us ; Our Sages in the Capitol Enact the laws that guide us. Hail, brothers, hail, — Let nought on earth divide us. Some faults we have, we ean’t deny, A foible, here and there ; But other households have the same, And so, we 11 not despair. Fwill do no good totiime and frown, And call hard names you see, And ’t were a burning shame to part. So fine a family. T is but a waste of time to fret, Since Nature made us one, For every quarrel cuts a thread, I bat healthful love has spun. So draw the chords of union fast, Whatever may betide us, And closer cling through every blast/ For many a storm has tried us. Hail, brothers, hail, — Let nought on earth divide us !

L Robinson, la. Death of Mr. Gathright.—lt becomes our painful duty to announce to the public the departure of one of our most useful and dis tinguished citizen, Milton Homer Gathright. He died at one o’clock, P. M., on Friday last. He was truly a pillow among the worthies of our country. —With the first settlement of our Cherokee country —with the organization of its courts—with its education system —with almost every important improvement in its roads and bridges, the name of Gathright is intimately connected and associated. He was emphatically the guardian of the rights and in terests of Lumpkin county, and among the first to disseminate light in newspaper form to the people in this part of the State. He has been a resident amongst us for more than thir teen years and has been known only to be revered. On Saturday last his remains were depos ited in their long resting place, whilst a large : concourse of our citizens in solemn procession testified their respect to his memory, and tire Masonic fraternity, of which he was a member/ aw’arded to him those solemn pledges of honor 1 and friendship which his high standing among them entitled him. And the citizens also testified their deep feeling of regret by ap propriate resolutions, which will be found in another column. Requiescat in pare.—Dah lonega Watchman, 1 6th inst. , The YVoman’s Bill.—After this bill had once been rejected by the Senate, on motion of Mr. Wiggins, it was referred to a special I committee, which committee reported on Wed- I nesday, and the bill finally passed the Senate iby a majority of one. To the persevering ef | forts of Mr. Wiggins, the friends of this mca- I j sure arc largely indebted for its passage in the . Senate. What will be its fate in the House, i no indications have yet been given, upon which , any opinion can be formed. —Milledgeville Fed eral Union. Ireland. —A Liverpool letter of the latest date, Xov. 19, says that within the last week ( or two, the potato rot had appeared again with . greater virulence than ever. Some kinds ; 1 which were never before effected had been at . ; tacked. The same letter states that the ac counts from Ireland are most frightful, and adds, “the starvation will be much worse this year than last.” A postscript to a Dublin letter, written on the 18th of November, says that the deficien cy of food in Ireland this year will bo equal to the production of one million of acres of potatoes. Fires. —YVe regret to learn that the dwell ing of Dr. John L. Y'arnellof this county, vras entirely consumed on Friday night last. The whole of the Doctor’s household effects, to gether with several hundred dollars in cash was- lost. The fire was accidental. Another.—The splendid and costly Cotton Factory of Messrs. Crisman & Dcckerd, four 1 miles from Winchester in Franklin county, | was destroyed by fire on Sunday morning last. The estimated cost of the house, machinery, &c., is $7,000, and no insurance. It is sup posed that the fire was accidental. The loss i 'to the enterprising ow ners is very serious.— ! j Chattanooga Cifizette, 18 th inst . “Shopkeepers is not enough thought of,” said Mrs. Partington, after having been out j i making some purchases. “How they do toil, and how they suffer ! One dear pretty young ; man, with a nice black coat on, and a gold chain and a starched collar with a carivan on his neck, told me with tears in his eyes, that j ho w'as selling to me at less than he gave for it, and I bought it out of pity, tho’ I knowed I could get it five cents a yard cheaper next door. Talk about Moses being executed on one string, indeed I These poor creatures are | Rogerses, every one of ’em, by the yard stick, and are all the time a dying.” On! —Some transcendental Miss thus breaks forth in the columns of the Louisville Courier: “In after years, when the lurid flame of j criticism, prejudice, and malice shall, like the schoolboy’s rocket, blazing meteor-like for a moment in serpentine brilliancy, expire, leav ing but their blackened fronts, shall the name of John X'. Maffit, bathed in the sunlight of immortality, phocnix-likc, rise from the smoul dering ashes of departed glory, spreading her ruby w ings heavenward, cleave the blue dome and lay her trophies at the feet of the Angel of Eloquence, ’.vho, rising from her celestial throne, shall inscribe, his autograph upon the brightest gems that deck her coronal of glory.” California. Horses*—The domestic and trained horses of California are really great curosilies. Col. Fremont rode 800 miles in eight days on one of these animals. They eat almost anything in the way of j vegetable food, or even drink, that their mas- I tor uses* by Whom they are petted and ca ressed, and rarely sold. Bread, friiits, sligar, coffee, and even Wine, (like the Persian horse,) ; they take from the hand of their master, and | I obey, with like docility, his slightest intima- ; | tion. A tap of the whip oil the saddle, springs ; | them into action; the check of a thread rein | (on the Spanish bit) would stop them; and ; stopped short at speed they do not jostle the : j rider or throw him forward. They leap on any thing—man, beast or weapon, on which their j master directs them. Schoolmaster —“Bill Tortipkins, what is a widow:” Bill —“A widder, sir, is a married woman, what ain’t got any husband, cause he’s dead.” M istcr —“Very well.

One of the Northern mails due last ! evening came to hand. Our advices by it from New York and Washington arc no later than ; those published in Friday’s paper. The telegraph was out of order on the 14th hist, which will account for the failure of our j Express. 1 LIP Among the bills passed the House of Representatives, on the 15th hist., we observe one for the relief John 11. Mann, Executor of | the estate James G. Stallings, deceased. [ Editorial Correspondence j Milledgeville, Dec. IG. You will perceive by the proceedings of the Senate herewith sent, that two important Rail Hoad bills have passed, which had previously passed the House —the West Point and At lanta Rail Road,and the Washington Rail Road I bills. Ido not know at this time, not having j been present in the Senate, what the amend- ! ments are, but believe they are not important. Mr. Miller oiFcred as an amendment, that the rc ad should not cross the line of the Georgia Rail Road without the consent previously ob ! tained of the Georgia Rail Road and Banking Company. This amendment received only 7 votes. He offered another: that the two roads should not run on the same level. The object of this was to require one to pass over the other by means of a bridge or other struc ture, so as to avoid the possibility of collisions I in cases of trains on the two roads meeting at the intersections. This amendment was also lost by a large vote. A division was not called for. 1 send you the yeas and nays on the bill for j the relief of Peter Trezevant. and take great pleasure in congratulating the people t>f Geor gia on this vindication —tardy though it be, of j the plighted faith and honor of the State. A j more just and sacred claim, I believe, was never made out before any body of la?gisla tors in the world. The facts and arguments j in its favor, and which I presume are familiar to very many in Georgia, as the debate on it at the last session was extensively published j : in the Georgia papers, were urged with great ; | clearness and ability by the several speakers. The arguments urged against the claim had j not even the poor merit of plausibility, though j ingeniously urged and with great apparent, | probably I should say real sincerity, by the able opponents of the bilL The speakers in favor, were Messrs. Nisbet, Gartrcll, Clark, Bethune, Kenan, Jenkins, Bartow and Phillips.- Against, Messrs. Jones, of Paulding, Jackson, of Walton, Sanford and Bailey. Their argu- 1 ■ ments were overwhelmed and demolished by the strong, impassioned, patriotic ai.d convinc ing reasoning of the advocates of the bill.— ! Messrs. Gartrcll and Jenkins made particularly j able speeches. One fact mentioned by Dr. Phillips at the close of the debate, should have had, and doubtless did have its effect. That is, that the | then commissioners appointed by the Legisla- I ture of 1838, to examine this claim —all able 1 and distinguished jurists, and every member of every special committee at every Legisla ture appointed on it, have uniformly, unani mously reported in favor of the claim. I presume that the attempt made to recon sider the bill will fail, and that the bill will pass the Senate and become a law. When this takes place I shall feel prouder of my State. I shall feel assured that Georgia stands exalted-in the scale of sovereign States. She will have redeemed her escutcheon from tarnish, and have shown to the world that she, though subject to no earthly authority to force her to do justice, yet yields obedience to the dictates of an enlightened sense of honor, ' | and right, and good faith. The bill provides for the delivery to the pe titioners of 6 per cent bonds of the State to the amount of twenty-two thousand two hundred i dollars. The original claim is for five thou ‘ sand pounds sterling. The mail beyond Warren to iv failed to-day, | owing probably to the snow on the Georgia | Rail Road obstructing the progress of the en gine, and we are without advices from Augus ta and further north. There was a heavy fall of snow here yesterday, and hills and house tops are covered. Even now, this second night since its appearance, it glitters brightly, though in diminished quantity, in the - clear and brilliant moonlight. Another bright and sunny day, such as this has been, will dissi pate the unwonted spectacle. It will fade away “like the baseless fabric of a vision, and leave not a wreck behind.” G. Death of Col. Echols- It is with feelings of the deepest regret, that we have to communicate the death of this gallant Officer. A letter received in this City yesterday, dated National Bridge 2d inst. r mentions, that at that time he was severely in disposed. A Postscript to the same letter, dated i the 3d inst.*mentions that Col. Echols died that morning at 1 o’clock, and would be buried in the afternoon with military honors. The same letter mentions that Lieut. Dye had also bedri. seriously indisposed, but was 5 better and Considered convalescent. Mr. Gild don We mentioned, a few days since, that this learned Lecturer on the Antiquities of Egypt, was about to visit our city. We are pleased 1 to find that he has arrived,and will, this week, | give us two Lectures, for particulars of which We refer to his notice in another column; If a subject of the deepest interest, illus trated by the remarks of a man who has de voted a largo portion of his life td its investi gation, can commend attraction, these Lec tures will be fully attended. Mr. Gliddon’s knowledge of Egypt and her history has been I obtained on the spot , and ho exhibits numerous ; and splendid views, the sight of which alone is well worth the time arid money. What docs this Mean? At a meeting of the Whig party of Wash ; ington county, recently held to nominate can didates for county officers, Silas Floyd was called to the chair, and Edward Tattnall Shcff | tall, Esq., requested to act as Secretary.— Among the resolutions adopted was the fol lowing : Resolved : That in the reflection of the Hon. John M. Berrien and the election of the Hon. Y\ illiam C. Dawson, the Legislature of Georgia deserves our warmest approbation, and that we tender to those Hon. Senators our continued confidence in their integrity and devotion to the great principles of the Whig party. The proceedings arc signed by the chair man, and the following significant note ap pended by the Secretary. The Secretary declines subscribing the above proceedings, in consequence of the in ! troduction of the resolution approving the election of J. M. Berrien to the U. S. Senate. Death ofChancclior Kent- The New York papers bring us the melan choly intelligence that the venerable illustrious Chancellor Kent is no more. He expired on Sunday afternoon, at the age of eighty-five years. His death occurred at a period when his career seemed to have reached the utter most point at which a gifted and puje intellect could be exerted for the benefit of the race, ; and he departed from the life which he had so long adorned, fully ripe in years and honors. The Washington Union Sf the 14th inst. says—We are happy to understand that Mr. Walker is better; but it will require several days to recover his strength, and restore his Capacity for undertaking the arduous duties of his office. During the indisposition of Secretary Wal ker, Mr. McClintock Young, the able and cf j ° ficicnt chief clerk of the Treasury Depart ment, will act as Secretary of the Treasury jad interim. At the request of the Secretary, Mr. Buchanan, the Secretary of State, lias i consented to aid Mr. Young, w henever it may be necessary, with his counsel and advice.

[From the New Orleans Delta.] Babble about Boarding - fefotiscs \ esterday evening Mrs. Babble and a vener able spinster by the name of Miss Pink, took tea together. Mrs. Babble fluttered about like a wounded bird, whilst Miss Pink very calmly rocked herself in a chair. When the tea-service came on the table, Miss Pink smiled sweetly, and Mrs. Babble bowed most graci ously. “Now, my dear girl,’’ said Mrs. Babble, clutching the handle of the tea-pot with an iron grasp, “what will you have ? Here is ! chipped beef, cheese, light biscuit and spring i I Goshen butter. And here, my dear girl, is a ; cup of tea —I made it myself, and I know you i will likd it.” Miss Pink managed to wreathe her fadeed j fetaures into a smiie, and nipping the end a of | biscuit, replied, ‘‘thank you, my dear Madam; j I’ll take a biscuit, a little tiny piece of the ! cheese, the smallest bit of the chipped beef and I a cup of tea.” When Miss Pink was helped to her proven- I der, Mrs. Babble, after having drank a cup of i tea, dangled a silver spoon in her cup, and raising her spectacles, remarked, “ How dis -1 ferent, my dear girl, private life is from public boarding. See how clean every thing is in my house !” “ Yes,” answered Mrs. Pink, as she swal lowed about half a biscuit, “ every thing is so i nice. The cheese on this table we know ain’t i got any ‘skippers’ in it —the meat ain’t mil dewed —the butter has not a bit of lard in it— and as for the tea, I know it hasn't got none of that ‘ villainous Salt Peter’ in it, that that | wicked man Shakespeer used to make his gun- | ! powder tea out of.” “Ah, my child,” said Mrs. Babble, with a j motherly sigh, “ you don’t know this world — and you’ve yit to learn what boardin’ houses are. You don’t know the difference between ’em, and time only can tell you. What do you think I heard Dr. Dumkins say Tester- I day r” j “ Why, what did he say inquired Miss Pink, as she cast her eyes toward the plate of cheese, and requested “ another cup of tea.” “The Doctor,my dear,who everybody knows is a blessed good man, told me that he would be oblcegcd to leave his boardin’ house- Ho j said that he liked the landlady, but he hated : her soup. Says he to me, ‘My dear Mrs. Bab ble, it was only the other day that the servant i I brought a' large tureen of vegetable soup upon | the table. 1 was helped to a plate of it.
