L. LOVE AM) MADNESS. As the pastor and myself were tel urn ing from the aea-ahnre, where we had been to, witness the departure of an emigrant vessel our intention was withdrawn (nun the inci. cidenlal noiao and bustle by the sad ond tie preseed appearance of a man who had been ▼ awing the ship with n spy glass nod was now slowly wending Ins way towards a small hut very handsome house. lie was evidently a aider, and apparently in the meridian of life; hut a deep sorrow, which spoke in every leatuM of his face, had anticipated ihe work «f time upon hia whitened locks. “The his tory of that unhappy man,” observed the wor. thy pastor with a sigh, “is sad and somewhat romantic.” Adam Wilson was one of the brightest and gayest boys of our school; he had a mind upon which the common misfortunes of life made no impression, but which, once deeply woun ded, must inevitably ho overthrown. I, ko most of the youths upon the coast, as soon as he was old enough, he sought danger and fortune upon the ocean, and it was not long before lie became the first male of a slop trading to Holism). In one of Ins voyages to the northern provinces of that country, he became attached to the daughter of a wealthy navigator, whese rich dowry, however, was the least of her merits in her lover’s estima tion. Her father thought differently; yet, not willing to thwart his iluugliter's wishes, ho promised his consent to toe desired union as soon as the young man should acquire a cer tain amount of money which ho considered a suitable eq'i valent tor (he dowry lie intended 1 to bestow upon Ins daughter. Animated by • ptesion which swayed his whole being, Wilson engaged a lucrative situation on board a Doch Kast lndiaman, and neither ho nor bis betrothed, for a moment doubted, that one single voyage in the Vrotr Margarita, would put him in a condition to claim her hand. ‘‘ln one year, Anna, with divine permission, I ( wII bo with your again,” said he m the part ing. “Ves,” answered Anna, "my heart as sures mo of your return.” Ho did indeed return at the appointed time, 1 wealthy beyond his own anticipation* and his [ falher-in-law’a requirements; '.he richly laden ship lay becalmed near that beloved coast of *. whose inhabitants he had received no tidings for more than a year. Adam’s impatience was so great and apparent, that the phlcg- 1 msl'c Hollander, who commanded the ship, 1 granted Inin a boat and two oarsmen to cna- 1 ble linn to proceed to B and visit the ' object sf hia affections. It was in the spring ' «l 1825. As Adam and his companions ap- 1 preached the land they were stiuck with an 1 astonishing change in its appearance. Their 1 eyes vainly wandered over the level plain in 1 search of the well remembered windmill—the 1 lighthouse also had disappeared—and the 1 water seemed to stretch inland far beyond its former boundary. At length they reached | Ihe shore, not rightly knowing where; but catching a distant view of the spire us the church of B they again betook them selves to their host and rowed directly to wards it. But who can imagine Ihe feelings of the youth when he discovered that the rich meadows, the pleasant gardens, the neat dwellings, the fruitful orchards, had all, all disappeared, and Ihe place, formerly occu pied by the lair village, became changed into e desolated waste of waters! Eagerly did Adam look for tho well remembered cottage; bethought within Inmaelf that the dwelling of his beloved must have been spared in the general destruction; but he looked in vain,and ■t lengih became convinc'd that further search would he useless. "Take me hence,” said he in broken accents to hia companions, "this is no place forme!” He afterwards heard it related how Iho raging sea had bro ken through the dykes, sweeping every thing before it, and overwhelming hundreds of men, women and children. His grief overpowered his reason, and some months of mental obli- I vion followed; consciousness at length awoke in hia benumbed sou!, ami he came, a was ed ' skeleton aa you see him now, silently ond sadly to his former home. Here he avoided all society,and only to me ! confided, not indeed his sorrow,—fur that re- ! nnined locked up in his own bosom,—but his j plan. He brought me a drawing of the form- 1 ar residence ot his betrothed, which faithful memory had enabled him to sketch, and beg ged of me with great earnestness, to assist him in tree ing a similar dwelling. The oversight of the work, ho added, with a emli, shall be the business mid consolation of my life; "for,” he confidentially whispered in my ear “it is for Anna. You know her house i« destroyed, and 1 have promised to bin d her another. “When it n finished she will come hcie and livein it with inr.” Looking al the pale coun tenance and wadrring eye of Ihe poor aufTerer, I thought within myself, it will he a deed of hu man! y to encourage in him thia delusive hope, and cunaequen ly I entered iain his views with a zeal which secure I lit* confidence. I took care that lh« work should advance us slowly ns |K»a*ible, and accordingly ihe ll'rst so inner was consumed in aclccthig a aite and laying out the garden, in whish tulip* and other costly flowers which ha knew io hav* been ihe favorite of hia liairoth*'. bio tusd in 'hagrvt c>( prifacnmi and beauty, to greet heron bar ani**'. At lenj'h ihe hnuiia w»« finished and the dairy fitted up, ■ml the hitcher, ftm.iahrd with brightly sc.urefl utensils all was prepared and glia'ened with true Dutch neatness. Out alas! no Anna come! With lender affection he sought out and re purchased a parrot which he had brought from India for her, and in the first bitterness of his sorrow he had given to a stranger. He next bought a finch, and (aught it to sing her favorite airs. The pour man had done every thing that lave and tenderness could suggest, hut still no Anna came, and with the subtle hut imperfect reasoning of insanity lie now supposed that she was delayed only by adverse winds. Since lhal ides todk possession of his mind, lie carefully nrtfes every variation of the weather, with renew ed hope ho repairs avery morning to the beach and wilb bis spy glass In Ins band, spends the live long day in billowing every di-lanl anil. Just aa tbs good pastor had ended, we arriv ed in front of the bouse, —whose friendly and cheerful eiterinr contrasted to s'tongly with the sadness and misery within. VVc were leaning sginnst the garden-gale, indulging tire sad reflec tions awakened by Ihe melancholy talc, when Adameame forward to meet us. “A pleasant evening, Adam,” anid the pastor in a kind and friendly lone. “Yes, a pleasant evening, Domi nic!’’ answered the stricken man, and then, with I a arnile of anguish that went In our very heart*, ’ tie immediately added.—“a fair wind for Anna,— ' the w ill ho here by morning !’’ A Ripkorious fioht upon tub Missis 1 aim Riven One Day us 1 wim timin' 10 the hi ar it ol my broad horn, the old Free ami F.asy, on the Misairsippi, taking a horn ol midshipman’* grog, wiili a tin pot in each hand, first a draught ol whiskey, nnd then one of river water, who should float down past mo but Jo Snug; he was in a snooze as fast aa a chinch, with his month wide open: ha had been rairnquaddlnd with whiskey for a fortnight, mid as it evnpora'cd from Ins body, it looked like steam from n vent pipe.

I chipped my arms, and crowed like acock. •Says ho, it yon are a game chicken, I’ll pick the feathers ofl’ofyon.

And although I didn’t cumo out second best I took care not to woke upa nog-tailed roarer wi'li an uar again. Tub Nkwsp.vpkr.—How endless is the variety of newspaper readers, and how hard it is to satisfy their wants. Mr. A believes ho shall difcontinno his paper, because it con tains no political news—and B is decid'd y of opinion that the same sheet dabbles so freely in the political movements of tbo day. C docs not take it because it is ail nn one a do— and D whose opinion it generally expresses, does not like it because it is not severe enough upon the opposition. J£ thinks it does not I 1 I pay line attention to fashionable literature— ' and F cannot bear the flimsy notions ot idle r wr ters. G will not Buffer a paper to lie tip- { on liis table which ventures an opinion against slavery —and 11 never patronizes one that lacks moral courage to expose the evils ol the i day.

There has been somewhat of* "(lire up" lately in New-York, between a Mr. Lynch; (rather an ominous name) and a person cal ! ling himself Count Fitzgerald Tusistro, who, i it seems, had marred into the Lynch family. It appears that Mr. Henry Lynch suspects, and has boldly declared, that the Count is j not a genuine Count; ami the latter has pla carded Mr. Henry Lynch as “a liar, a cow ard! ami common rutli m.” One of the pas j pers g«ves the following account of the Count “Count Fitzgerald .ante to this country 1 about 10 or 14 months ago, ami on his arriv !al took aporlmouls at the Globe Hotel. Ho speedily formed * acquaintances with the young “men of wit and fashion about town," and got introduced to various families of ton. He represented himself os the son of Count Tasistro, an Austrian nobleman, who had intermarried with the ducal Irish family ofthe Fitzgeralds of Leiuster, and in tbit chanc ier paid In* addresses to the daughter of Mr. James Lynch, and became an accepted suit, nr. Previous to the marriage, a member of the family bad suspicions ofthe Count’s ideo. titv, and was not satisfied with his lestimo nials, these, however, and the Count’s man ners and tournure passed current with the tallies, and the match was concluded. Asal! ihe circumstance* will undoubtedly come oh’, we do not feel disposed tog ve substance | to a hundred rumors which have been rife; bu' w* will come *1 i*n«w t'» tha attributed to Mr. Lenry Lynch. Count TMi«tor conclude* (hat that gentle inan haa furnished Mr. Neill with the facta oraurmisea alluded to in the correspondence published ih s morning, as the former was always opposed to the introduction of a stranger into the family, without a more r.gid scrutiny of hin pretensions—more particularly as a branch of the Lynch family, when at Florence, ascertained from the Austrian of fieers there, that there was no such name as Tasislro on the hats of the Atislraian, Hung arian and Bohemian service.” I't’Hsi'i.No our Int it rusts. — Every one would pursue Ins own interest, it he knew what it was; in fact, every one does pursue it, hut the generality totally nrslake it. No man would choose riches bclore happiness, power before qu.ef, or lame belore safety, if lie knew the value of each; no man would prefer the transitory and worthless enjoyrnent of this world, to the permanent and aub.iiae t ilicity of a better, if he had a clear prospect of them both—but we see the former through a mist, which always magnifies, and the lal lor seems to be at so great a distance, that we scarcely sec it at all, and therefore it maki a but ItUlc impression upon our senses, and has as l.nie influence on our conduct. The ancient Miss I*, wast told the other day by a travelling gentleman, that in a cer tain country, every lady who hud a small mouth, wav provided with a husband by the government. “Itfi it potfnble,” said tlie lady making her mouth as small os she could.

A dire, I and unequivocal charge had been made •gainst s member of CongreM, by two editors of respunsiqle paper* in the country. He would read as extracted from the Courier and Enquirer, the charge to which he referred: “ConnUFTiON in Congress. —We yesterday published a letter from "the Spy in Washington,’’ directly charging a member of Congress with corruption, and offering to provt the charge be fore a Committee of either House, when called upon for that purpose. Wa re publish the charge to-day and call upon Congress promptly to in stitute the investigation thus challenged—both as an act of justice to itself and to the country. “The Spy in Washington,” it may bo said, is noi an ostensible or responsible person; but we desire at once to obviate this difficulty by staling as we now do, that he is known to us, and that whenever called upon by a Committee of Con gress. wc pledge ourselves that he shall be forth coming, and that he is one whose standing war rants an immediate proceeding on the part of Congress." Extract from yesterday's Courier U Enquirer. “The more brief my statement, the belter it will lie understood. It is in my power, if brought to the bar of either House, or before a Committee, and process allowed me to compel the attendance of witnesses, to prove by the oath of a respectable and unimpeachable cilieen, as well as by written documentary evidence, that there is at least one member of Congress, who has offered to barter his services and his influence with a department or departments, for compensation. “Why, sir” said the applicant for a contract, “if my proposi tion lias merit, it will be received. If it lias not Ido not expect it will bo accepted.” And what do you think was the amwer of the honorable member? I will give it to you in his own em phalic language, “.’l/erii,” said ho, "wily things do not go here hy merit, but by pulling the right strings. Make it my interest, and I will pull the strings for you.” “ I'llE Set in VVashinston.” Mr. WISE said Congress was called upon to defend its own character and honor, ho accord ingly offered the following resolution : Whereas the following article has appealed in the New York Courier and Enquirer. (Here follows the article of the Courier and Enquirer.) Resolved, that a select committee be appointed with power to send for persons and papers toen quire into the truth of the charge. Mr. WISE hoped, ho said, that the i-harga would turn out to be salsa, or a mistake. He did not believe that corruption existed here to the extent indicated by ibis charge. If it did, reform or revolution would be necessary. Mr. CILLEY said, a charge put forth in this way. was unworthy of notice. Before the House would lake it up. the editor should make the charge distinctly and upon oath. Mr. BRIGGS called the yeas and nays on the resolution, snd they were ordired, Mr. Wlil isid th# ganllsiuati I'tW* Maiua sung tha old tun*. Whenever chargee were made against the Hnuie or the Executive, proof was demanded in ad.ance of any invealigaiion. Mr. DLOMGOOL moved to amend the ref lation so as to require the investigation to be made at the bar of the (louse. Mr. LOOMIS moved to amend tho resolution so as to require “the Spy," Mathew L. Davis, to be brought to the bar of the House, to answer any question in regard to the subject matter of the charge, and the source of his information. Mr. IVY moved to lay the whole subject on the table. Mr. WISE asked for the yeas and nays, and they were yeas 179, nays 14. Bo tho House refused to lay the motion on the table. Mr. WISE mod Tied his resolution so as to re quire the Speaker to subpoena Mathew L. Davis, and to ask him,at the bar of the House, what he knows as to the member implicated, and as the facta charged. On motion of Mr. HIVES tho words "if a member of this House” were inserted after the word implicated. After some remarks from Mr. Torcey, and a rejection of a motion of Mr. Thotni. to adjourn, Mr. Underwood moved to amend tho resolution by substituting fur it the original resolution of the gentlemen from Vir ginia, Mr. Wise. Mr. CUSHMAN moved the previous question, which was not sustained, the vote being 83 to 85. A motion was then made to adjourn, and lost. Mr. WISE moved to strike out the words— “if a member of this House,” Mr. UNDERWOOD modified bis resolution so is to omit the above words. Mr, Haynes moved to reinsert them. Mr. Mercer said in case the facts allcdgod were proved to be true in regard to the member of another house, it would be the parliamentary duty of this Mouse to report the fact to the other House. Messrs. Drom goolc and Haynes differed from the gentleman from Virginia as to his construction of the par liamentary law. Mr. TORCEY said- he was naw convinced from tho manner in which the question was pressed by the gentlemen who knew the name of the member charged, that the individual was a Senator, and not a member of this Haase. He protested against the institution of a proceeding against a member of the Senate. There was no doubt it was a Senator that was charged. Mr. WISE said that the gentleman had no , authority from him for suggesting that itwssa Senator. It might turn out that there wera members o> both houses implicated. Mr. Un derwood moved for an adjournment which was agreed to. The Senate was chiefly occupied with the , Sub-Treasury bill. Mr. Niles spoke in favor of . the bill till half past 3 o’clock, when on motion he gave way, and the Senate went into executive business; after which action was had on sundry private bills and the Senate adjourned.

We are acquainted with the sec tion of county iti which these work* are located and with moat of the member* of the company and from a knowledge of the immense natural advantage possessed by them in water power, ores, «Scc., added to their perseverance and indus try, we do not hesitate to express our belief that it will be not only one of the most profitable but one ol the most useful investments in tho State. “We are informed that the Habersham Iron Works & Manufacturing Co. have just declared a semi-annual dividend ofeleven dollars per share of one hundred dollars. This company was chartered at (he last legislative session, with the usual privileges granted to such associations. We ate happy to perceive such evidence of the value of our heretofore unexplored internal resources, and hope that the company will hot only carry out their extensive design, but also continue to real iie profits they so justly deserve. Pioneers in any undertaking must necessarily incur the risks attendant on experiment, and should therefore be entitled to larger returns than those who are con tent to follow the footsteps oi their predecessors. The company own decidedly the best water pow er in the State, besides iton ore, timber, limestone, and every other material required for carrying on extensive manufacturing operation*. The work* are situated about three mile* from Clarksville, in Habersham county, and are highly spoken of by ill who have visited them.” At our last Superior Court, two females and one male, were indicted and tried for vagrancy, found guilty, and sentenced by the court to 3 years imprisonment in the penitentiary. It appeared that these two poor deprav d creatures had been in the habit ofstroling about the streets of Augusta, frequently intoxicated, and acting in many unbecoming ways, and the city council ordered the city marshals to have them arrested and prosecuted, and we lake great pleasure in commending this act and promptness in our city authorities, and hope it may prove a less m to others.
