WITHERED FLOWERS,
BY M(SS C. ALLKN.
1 knew those lovely powers
Must perish and decay,
For all in life’s bright bowers
Will quickly pass away.
And though these flowers are faded,
1 nursed with gentle care,
I mourned when death had shaded
Those little buds so fair.
The sweetest and the brightest.
The soonest fade from earth;
And joys that seem the lightest,
Oft boast the highest birth.
The soul that once was nearest.
The farthest oft will rove;
And the friends that once were nearest,
Too often cease to love.
And though those cherished flowers
Are faded now, and dead.
They’ll live, like happier hours.
In Memory’s hallowed bed.
There, in that casket only.
Rest things we love to cherish.
The valued, loved, yet lonely.
Bright gems that never perish.
“JESSIE, THE FLOWER OF DUMBLANE.”
The fair object of this song was a bon
nie ! Asa he in Dumblane. Her family
were of poor extraction, and Jessie her
iself was contented with a peasant’s lot.
When Tannahill became acquainted with
her, she Was in her ’teens, a slight, dim
ple-cheeked, happy lassie: her hair ye l-
IONV-colored and luxuriant; her eyes large
and full, overflowing with the voluptuous
languor which is so becoming in young
blue eyes with golden lashes. Tannahill
Was struck with her beauty, and as in
all things, he was enthusiaslical, became
forthwith her ardent worshipper. But her
heart was not to be won. Young, fervid,
thoughtless, and panting to know and see
the world, she left the poor anwurante
‘to con songs to his mistress’ eyebrows,’
While she recklessly rambled among the
flowery meads of Dumblane, or of an
evening sang his inspired verses to him
with the most mortifying nonchalance.
This was a two fold misery to the sensi
five poet. A creature so sweetly elegant,
ao dear to him, so very lovely and inno-
Cent, and yet, withal, so encased in in
sensibility, as apparently neither to be
tionscious of the beauty of the verses
tremhlingon her dulcet tongue, nor ca
ring for the caresses of her lover. ’Twas I
too much; to mark all this, and feel it
With the feeling of a poet, was the acme
rtf misery. But the ‘Flower of Dum
bl&Be’ was not that unfeeling, unimagi
native being which Tannahill pictured
her. She was a creature all feeling, all
imagination, though the bard had not
that in his person Or manners to engage
her attention ortri arrest her fancy. The
young affections are not to be controlled.
Love—all-mighty Love—must be free,
else it ceases to be love. Tannahill was
plain in his pferson and uncouth in his
manners, and felt and expressed discon
tent at the crUel disappointment which it
had been his unhappy fate almost invari
ably to encounter. Jessie, on the cotl
trary, looked upon the world as a bril
liant spectacle yet to he seen arid enjoy,
ed—as a vast paradise full of the beauty
of Heaven and earth, where men walked
forth in the image of their Creator, in
vested wiih his attributes, and woman
-trod proudly amid the lovely creation,
an angel venerated and adored. To ex
press dissatisfaction under all these cir
cumstances, was, to her mind, the extra
vagance of a misanthrope, the madness
of a real lover of misery, and a sufficient
cause for her not to respect him. Both
viewed the world through a false medi
um, afid their deductions, although at
variance, gave color to their minds and
accelerated their fate. Jessie could not
comprehend what appeared to her the
folly of her suitor. She relished not his
sickly sentiment, and, as all womankind
ever did and do, she scorned a cooing
lover. The bard was driven to despair,
and, summoning up an unwonted energy
of mind, departed, and left his adored to
her youthful aberrations. Soon after this
period the song of ‘Jessie, the Elower of
Dumblane,’together w ith the music, was
published; it became a public favorite;
it was sung everywhere, in theatres and
at parties; a world of praise was shower,
ed upon it from women’s flattering lips,
and men became mad to know the adored
subject of the lay. In a short period it
was discovered. Jessie Monteith, the
I pretty peasant of Dumblane, was the fa
vored one. From all quarters young
men and bachelors flocked to see her,
and her sex were curious and critical.
Many promising youths paid their ad
dresses to her, and experienced the same
reception as her first lover. Neverthe
less, at last poor Jessie became really
enamored. A rakish spark, fiom Mid
lothians, adorned with education, being
of polished manners, and confident from
wealth and superiority of rank, gained
her young affections. She too credu
lously trusted in his unhallowed profes
sions. The ardor of first love overcame
her better judgment, and abandoning
herself to her love-passions, she made an
imprudent escape from the protection of
her parents, and soon found herself in
elegant appartmentsnear the city of Edin
burg. The song of neglected Tannahill
was to his Jessie both a glory and a
curse; while it brought her into notice
and enhanced her beauty, it laid the
foundation of her final destruction. Pop
ularity is a dangerous elevation, whether
the object of it be a peasant or a prince;
temptations crowd around it, and snares
are laid on every hand. ‘Who would be
eminent,’ said a distinguished child of
popularity, ‘if they knew the peril, the
madness, and distraction of mind, to
which the creature of the popular breath
is exjiosed?’ When the poet heard of the
fate of his beloved Jessie, his heart almost
hurst With mental agony, and, working
himself into the enthusiastic frenzy of in
spiration, poured forth a torrent of song
more glowing and energetic than ever be
lore dropped in burning accents from his
tongue, ft is to be lamented, that, in a
lit of disgust, he afterwards destroyed
those poetic records of his passion and
his resentment. Ere three years bad re
volved their triple circuit after Jessie left
her father’s home, she was a changed
woman. Her paramour had forsaken
her. She was destitute in her splendid
habitation. Her blue eyes looked pitiful
on all things around her; the oval cheeks
were indented by the hand ot misery, and
the face and person presented the picture
of an unhappy, but amiable being. How
changed was the figure clothed in silk,
which moved on the hanks of the Forth,
from the happy, lively in Dumblane,
dressed in the rustic garb of a peasant!
But this is a subject 100 painful to dwell
on: let us hasten to the catastrophe, h
was on an afternoon in July, a beautiful,
sunny afiernoon —the air was calm and
pure. The twin islands of the Fo th like
vast emeralds set in a lake of silver, rose
splendidly over the shining water, which
now and then gurgled and mantled round
their bases. Fifeshire was spread forth
like a map, her hundreds of inland vil
lages and cots tranquilly sleeping in the
sunshine. The dm of the artisans’ ham
mers in Kirkaldy and Queensferry smote
the still air; and Oumfermline’s aproned
inhabitants scattered forth their whitened
webs beneath the noontide sun. On the
opposite shore, Leith disgorged her black
smoke, which rolled slow ly in Volumes to
the sea. Edinburg castle, like a mighty
spirit from the ‘vasty deep,’ reared her
grey bulwarks high in air, and Arthur’s
seat rose hugely and darkly in the back
ground. The chorusses of the fishermen
like hymns to the great spirit of the wa
ters, ascended over Newhaven; and dow-n
from Grangemouth,lightly booming over
the tide, floated the tall hark. The world ;
seemed steeped in happiness. But there
was one —a wandering one, an outcast —
wretched and despairing, amid all its love- j
liness; her bosom was cold and dark, no
ray could penetrate its depths; the sun
shone not for her, nor did nature smile
around but to inflict a more exquisite pang
on the unfortunate. Her steps were
broken and hurried. She now approached
the w-ater’s edge, and then receded. No !
human crea'ure w as near to disturb her
purpose—all was quietude and privacy; |
but there was an eye from above who j
watched all. Jessie Monleith-how mourn- .
fully sounds that name at such a crisis! I
But Jessie sat herself down, and, remov
ing a shawl and bonnet from her person,
and taking a string of pearl from her mar
ble seeming neck, and a gold ring, which
she kissed eagerly, from her taper finger,
she cast up her streaming eyes,meekly im- j
ploring the forgiveness of Heaven on him, j
the Cause of her shame and death. Scarce
offering a prayer for herself,she breathed
forth the names of her disconsolate pa
rents, and, efe the eye could follow her, :
she disappeared ill the pure stream. The
sun shone on, the green ot the earth stir- |
red not a leaf; a bell did not toll; nor did
a sigh escape from the lips of one human
being, and yet the spirit of the loveliest of
women passed (may we not hope?) to
Heaven.
EFFECTS OF THE TARIFF.
We copy the following articles from
New York Journal of Commerce of 2d
inst.
Specie. —Some orders have already
been given, as we know, for remittances
to be made in gold from England, and
the very low rate of Exchange, While
very little of this year’s crop has gone for
ward, except of flour and wheat, indicates
that large sums must be imported during
the winter and spring. An importation of
ten millions of gold would be a very poor
beginning of the universal work of ruin un
der the new tariff, which in eighteen
months was to send all the coin out of the
country, and break the banks from Dan
to Beersheba.
A Market that is of no Value. —The
exports of cheese to Great Britain last
week were a million of pounds. The
home market made the price two and a
half cents, the English market makes it
seven and a half cents, or two hundred
per cent advance.
An Absent-Minded Protectionist. —
The Y. N. Express, in a condition, one
would think, of mental frightfulness,
speaks, in its review of the market, as
follows:
“The usual quarter day for making up
accounts by the Banks, passed off* without
any notice, either by the Banks or the pub
lic. This is a strong indication of the
abundance of Money. The present course
of trade, and the active demand for pro
duce, is calculated to make the Money
market perfectly easy. The export de
mand takes every surplus bushel ofgrain
and barrel of flour that offers. A biisk
foreign market at high prices, will enrich
the country beyond all calculation. In
stead of any drain for specie , if the ship .
ments continue, large amounts must flow
into the country
Something to Eat. —We find the fol
lowing paragraph in the New Orleans
Bulletin: '
“It is estimated that the crop of Indian
corn in the West, for 1846, will be more
than 500,000,000 of bushels, and that the
wheat will exceed 140,000,000 bushels,
which would produce equal to 28,000,.
i 000 barrels of flour.”
AUGUSTA, GEO..
THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. 12, 1846.
iCTThe Charleston Evening News has ex
hibited considerable Alertness in giving at
the earliest moment the foreign news by Ihe
Britannia. It publishes on the !oth inst. a
telegraphic account from its Philadelphia
correspondent of the 7th inst. which an
nounces, in advance, the arrival of the steam
er, and contains the important items of the
English markets, &c. The New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington pa
pers of Saturday night 7th inst. contain no
news of the steamer.
A New York correspondent of the Balti
more Patriot by telegraph dated Nov. 7th, 7
P. M. t states “We have no news yet of the
steamer. She was not in at Boston an hour
ago.” Yet the Boston Courier of the 7th
inst. says: “The steamer Britannia arrived
at half past five this morning, having left
Liverpool on the 20th ult.”
From this it appears that the news arrived
at Boston on the morning of the 7th, was
telegraphed to Philadelphia, and was sent
thence to Charleston, and escaped the vigi
lance of the New York, Philadelphia, Balti
more and Washington papers of the evening
of that date.
This restilt it is supposed, was accomplish
ed by the severing of the telegraphic wires be
tween Boston and New York, by the specu
lators, who despatched private expresses with
the news to New YorK. It was then de -
patchedto Philadelphia by telegraph.
This affair has created great excitethenh
o"The ideas rtf the editor of the Chroni
cle & Sentinel must have been so complete
ly obfuscated by the hard cider he drank out
of those Whig gourds, at those “W big Fes
tivals” to which he has so feelingly alluded,
that he has been made to commit divers
strange anachronisms in the hislor}' of his
party. His editorial of yesterday morning,
in reference to our opinions in 1840, displays
gross forgetfulness, or something less ex
cusable, of the issues made in that year by
his party. We are truly astonished at the
perfect recklessness of assertion which it
exhibits, and will point out in that short edi
torial of half a column, such glaring mis
statements as must give a severe shock to
the mind of the most credulous Whig, who
is wont to look into that paper for political
information. An editor ought certainly to
be sufficiently well versed in the history of
his own party for at least a few years back,
to know what their principles were. This
is asking a great deal of a Whig editor in
Georgia we know, when we consider the
number, variety and absurdity of the princi
ples which have distinguished that versatile,
wayward and unstable party in the last six j
years, presenting as it has done as many dit- !
ferent aspects at each turn in the political
wheel, as the glass particles in a Kaleide
scope. But there are some things which *
even a Whig editor ought to know on this
subject.
The Chronicle enumerates the following
as the principles for which the Whigs con- ;
tended in 1840:
“It is onr recollection, then, that in seeking to 1
overthrow Air. Van Boren's Administration in
1840, and restore prosperity to the Republic, the
Whigs contended :
“For a one term Presidency.
“For a modification of the one-man (the veto)
power.
“For a restriction of the dismission from office.
“For a National Bank, or the State- Bank sys
tem, in preference to the Sub-Treasury scheme.
“For a distribution of the proceeds of the sales
of the public lands among the States.
* For the compromise tariff law remaining un
disturbed, if it could furnish the necessary revenue
to the Government, and its alteration if it could
not.”
Now, the editor of the Chronicle ought to
know that this one term principle was sto
len by the Whigs from the Democratic party,
and appropriated to their own use byway
of humbug in that memorable year. Gen.
Jackson many years before—we think du
ring his first term, recommended that the
one term principle be incorporated in our
constitution. Col. Thos. H. Benton advo
cated it in the U. S. Senate, during more
than one session. Mr. McDuffie advocated
it in the House. It was not made a party
question in those days. It was not made so
in 1840. The Democrats did not take issue
with the Whigs on tins question. Many
were in favor of it, some opposed it, and pro
bably the great majority were indifferent to
the question at that lime, and did not make
it a lest.
The Whigs however seized upon it to
get up a little excitement, for excitement
sake, but they had the hurrah I all to them
selves. When they got the power, in 1841,
they passed no act or resolution in its favor
at the extra session. Upon this subject our
opinions are identically the same that they
were in 1840. We are in favor of the one
term principle-
The Chronicle asserts that a modification
of the Veto,(the one man power) was contend
ed for in 1840. This is a gross error. It is
like a thousand other random assertions with
which the Chronicle teems, which have no
sort of foundation to rest upon but the ima
gination of the editor. The Whigs contend
ed for no such thing in 1840. It was not till
after Mr. Tyler’s Veto of the Bank that the
Whigs attempted fraudulently to palm upon
the country in opposition to the known will
of the people, that this modification of the
Veto was suggested. Mr. Clay took open
ground for this modification in 1841, after
Mr. Tyler’s veto. He did so first in a letter
written at Philadelphia, if our memory serves
in the month of June, 1841. The Whigs
taking their cue from him, their great file
leader, have since then advocated it. It il
lustrates the stability and the slatemanship
of Whiggery and its principles. This Whig
principle sprung from an ebullition of temper
of Mr. Clay, and the chagrin of the disap
pointed capitalists, who were thus foiled in
their effort to thrust their hands into the
•coffers of the government; and of thousands
of the more honest and unselfish people upon
whom the magnificent failure of that vile
and corrupt institution, the United States
Bank, which had gone down in shame and
dishonor—had produced no salutary impres
sion. We were not in 1840, an advocate of
the modification of the Veto. Nor are we
now. On this subject oar opinions are un
changed.
The question of the distribution of the pro
ceeds of the public lands, was not an issue
in 1840. This was one of the series of
Whig principles brought out in 1841, at the
extra session by Mr. Clay in his long string
of resolutions, setting forth Whig principles.
In 1840, we were opposed to such a distribu
tion. We are opposed to it now. On this
subject, our opinions are unchanged.
In 1840, the Sub-treasury was not made
a test question by the Whigs in Georgia.
The Whigs did not advocate, as a substitute,
either the Pel Bank System, or the only other
alternative, a National Bank.
We defy the Chronicle to show that they
advocated the Pet Bank system. We have
never seen the least evidence of it. IVewill
show, if the point is disputed, that they did
not as a party advocate in Georgia a National
Bank. On this subject, there were various
opinions, and nothing approaching to una
nimity or settled views among the Whigs.
Some were in favor of the Fet Bank system,
some of a National Bank, and some of a total
divorce of the government from the Banks*
This latter was the ground generally as
sumed by the State Rights party. The let
ters of Thos. Butler King, Judge Nesbitt,
Judge Gamble and others show this. They
opposed a National Bank from 1834 to 1846.
Judge Gamble in 1834, voted for the Bill of
Col. Gordon, of Virginia, to establish and
organize the Sub-Treasury system. It was
in 1840 a question of expediency alone.
The Whigs we believe did not doubt its con
stitutionality. Many believed it the only
constitutional plan. We held no opinion
then, on this subject adverse to those we hold
now, but admit very candidly that we had
our doubts of the practical workings of the
specie clause. We entertain those doubts
now; but though enterlaining them, we are
an advocate of the Independent Treasury
bill. We are willing and anxious to see the
experiment fully tried. We have our doubts,
but we hope it will succeed. We were and
are willing to go with the many wise and
great statesmen of our country, foremost j
among whom we place John C. Calhoun,
who advocate the system and who have no
doubts on ihe subject.
As to the restriction of the system of dis
mission from office, we sincerely entertained
in 1840 the opinions the Whigs professed . I
We entertain them now. We were and are
opposed to proscription for opinion’s sake.
But the vvhigs were false to their pledges on
this subject, as they were in many others,
Mr. G ranger alone, dismissed near Jive thou
sand Postmasters, fur opinions sake, during a
very short term of office, and boasted of it.
He threatened to decapitate as he called it,
several thousands more, but was arrested in
this wholesale violation of his Whig prin
ciples, by his own dismission from office.
As to economy in the public expenditures,
it is scarcely necessary to say that our op n
ions are the same that they were in 1840.
The only remaining point to be replied to
is in reference to the compromise. We ad
vocated it withoutany if's or proviso’s what
ever, So did the Georgia Whigs in 1840.
The pledgesof Gen. Harrison to abide by it,
fully, unconditionally and without reservation,
were then paraded before the people of Geor
gia, as a reason why they should support his
election. Were this article not already too
long, we would give some quotations of those
pledges. We would also give some of his
pledges and declarations and votes against
a United States Bank, which the whigs of
Georgia also paraded as proof that he was
opposed to such an institution.
In conclusion, let us advise the Chronicle,
before it assumes tube a political teacher,or
to arraign others for their opinions, to ac
quaint himself with the history of his own
party. We are aware that in the strange
confusion and medley of opinions and changes
of principles, it is a difficult task for him to
keep a clear reckoing. Every new politi
cal excitement —every new election brings
out a fresh crop of Whig doctrines and
schemes, many ephemeral, many extrava
gant, and many merely intended to get up a
little humbug and catch votes, but never in
tended to be established, but which the Whigs
dignify with the name of principles. This
fecundity will doubtless puzzle the most pa
tient and uncomplaining follower of whiggery
through all its rneanderings. But when an
editor endeavors to show that we have pur
sued the same zig-zag course, we beg leave
to protest.
Why did not the editor of the Chronicle
say something of the Bankrupt Law? Was
that a Whig principle in 1840? Or was it
the fruit of that shortlived Whig denomina
tion in 1841, which lived to see all its mea
sures repudiated by an indignant people?
“We found the following jeud’ esprit upon our
table yesterday. Although the wag is more dis
posed to conceal himself than his wit, (for we'doi.’t
know who wrote it,) it is so much of the genuine
“Punch” order that we give it a place:
“One of the lubes (ready filled w ith wind,) from
the organ ‘round the corner,’ with the Walker
and Wilmot attachment, on annexation and •nboii
tion.—Chronicle 6f Sentinel.
The wag is a good fellow. Ho knows what
a joke is, and we shake hands with him heart
ily. The sly rogue was guided by the in
stincts of the Editor of the Chronicle, and
knew he would like to serve his whig friends
on the eve of a New York election, by send
ing “Pipe” with abolition and annexation
attachments. *Twas laboring in his vocation.
“To the second scintillation of our Augusta con
tributor to the Museum, we would propose to
make an addition so that it will read as follows.
“A gun which shoots ‘round a corner’ taken
from a Mexican Sentinel, and which is only used
to frighten a writer of 'tomfoolery.' ” — Chronicle
4' Sentinel.
Certainly! All right! though it did not
then occur to ns that the Mexican Sentinel
used it to frighten himself! But the curiosi
ty is greater. Let it go,
o“The Chronicle makes a sweetish, wish
ev-washy kind of a lecture on our “paper
pellets,” which we do not publish, because
the whole thing is too flat. It would be con
venient and help him to understand himself
perhaps, to divide his remarks upon a jest
into heads, and then when he came to the “se
venth and lastly,” we should know we would
some time have an end of it. The truth is,
his arguments are all jokes—and his jokes,
all arguments.
ITThe Editor of the Chronicle says our
jests are “100 deep' I —he don’t understand them.
—And arn’t we sorry? Don’t tears “trickle
down our nose in piteous chase?” Don’t we
mourn as one without hope—that he can't
understand either a jest or an argument?—
But we can’t help it. We will do all we can,
but he can’t expect us to furnish him with
jokes and intellect too.

THE NEW TARIFF.
We have been asked whether there is any
thing in the results of the recent election
which indicates a dissatisfaction on Ihe part
of the people, at the adoption of Ihe new'
Tariff. We as follows:
Os the members of the New York delega
tion w’ho voted for the new Tariff, only two
were candidates for re-election, viz: Maclay
of this city, and Wood of Albany. The
former is re-elected by a handsome majority,
notwithstanding be was opposed by a volun
teer candidate of his own party; and the latter
Mr. Wood, is defeated in a district (Albany)
which is inherently Whig, and almost always
gives a Whig majority; and where also he
had to contend with the torrent of Anti-
Renlism. We learn from the Albany Argus
that although he was put in nomination
scarcely a week before the election, he has a
majority in that city, of 123; while for Go- j
vernor there is a Whig majority of 258; for
Senator, 490; furJShemf, 1J 6; lor Clerk, 650,
This does not look like being left at home
in consequence of bis free trade principles.
Os the New Vork members who voted
against the new Tariff bill, eight were again
candidates; and of these, three have been
superseded by tree trade men, viz: Seaman
in the 2d district, Miller in the 3d, and
Campbell in the 6th. Four of the remaining
five are Whigs, and three of them reside in
strong Whig districts. The eighth (a De- ’
luocral) has been left at home, and a Whig
substituted in his place.
[From the N. V. Herald.]
MEXICAN PATRIOTIC J.
General Faredes, late Fresident of the re
public of Mexico, a man who, as was said,
through zeal for the honor of his country de
posed Herrera, and made war on the United
Stales, has, we understand, lately quitted
Mexico lor England, taking with him an im
mense sum of money in specie. On his
route, he stopped at Havana and Bermuda.
We believe he lias a brother residing in En
gland, whom it is, probably, his purpose to
join. Ail the accounts we have seen, agree
in slating that he iias taken out with him
what will serve to cheer his exile. He in
tends to invest the large sum he takes with I
him in English bonds.
The question arises, how did he acquire
this wealth? He has always been repre
sented as very poor, and as being an ex
tremely pure and disinterested patriot. It
was told to his credit, that he refused extra !
pay while in office,and that ids sole view was |
to vindicate the honor of his country. We
ask again, how has he acquired this immense
sum of money? We should be sorry to ima
gine the Fresident of Mexico guilty of pecu
lation while in office; but how shall we ac
count for his sudden acquisition of wealth?
And supposing that it were acquired by the
most honorable means, might he not show his
patriotism better than by taking such a sum
out of bis country at the hour of iier greatest
need, and investing it in English bonds?
Alas! for Mexican patriotism. It is, we fear,
at as low an ebb as female virtue on the Five
Feints.
The fact is, that this circumstance proves
conclusively what we have all along main
tained, that Mexico Iras been kicked about
like a football, by her military despots, who
use her for their own pleasure and conveni
ence, regardless of the injuries they entail
upon her. Faredes is no belter and no worse
than the re.-t. He has but followed the ex
ample of his predecessors, and he now retires
from the scene of turmoil and confusion that
reigns in his country, to enjoy.’ the riches he
has hoarded. Doubtless the other pretended
patriots, who are so eager to expend the best
blood of Mexico in a bootless struggle with
the United States, would do the same if they
had an opportunity.
UXThe Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, writes—“ Gen. Scott is said
to be very anxious to be Ihe favorite of the
Whig party; but his triends seen to be afraid
to risk him. The General’s errors of com
position are severely visited on him. The
Intelligencer and its friends are known to
favor the claims of Judge McLean, of Oiiio,
but dare not come out buldly and avow their
preference. They are afraid of the move
ments of Henry Clay. The result of the New
York elections vviil be the signal for battle.”
Munroe Rail Road Claims. —We see,from
an advertisement in the Macon papers, says
tiie Griffin Whig, that Gen. John N. Wil
liamson of Covington, W. D. Alexander,Esq.
of Greenville, and Charles F. M. Garnett,
chief Engineer of the Western and Atlantic
Rail Road, have been appointed by the Su
perior Court of Bibb county, to apportion the
relative value of the labor done and materials
and equipments furnished on the old Munroe
Rail Road above Griffin; in ether words, to
say what Messrs. Collins &. Co., ought to
receive for the work they did under their con
tract with the old company to complete the
Road.
That all those who have filed Munroe
Rail Road Bills, in order to claim money
arising from the sale of the Road, are re
quired to file with the Clerk of Bibb Superior
Court, on or before the first Monday in Feb
ruary next, their oath, in writing, setting
forth the quantum of consideration actually
paid by them for the Bills so filed.
THETWO MONTEREY 8.
Some of our readers are puzzled at our
reports of naval operations and land vic
tories at Monterey. Now, be it known
! to all men and women, who will not
i look on the map of Mexico, there are two
; Montereys in the enemy’s country. One
is in north eastern Mexico, it isan inland
city, and is now in possession of General
Taylor. 7'lie other is in California; is a
seaport on the Pacific Ocean, and is now
in possession of Commodore Stockton,
When we speak of the army at Monterey,
therefore, we mean Monterey in the
interior, and when we speak of ships of
war at Monterey, we mean the city ofthe
name on the west coast.
