To-morrow’* dawn brings blessed jioaee, And each domestic joy’s increase, To him who honestly maintains, That course of life which heaven ordains. 'Tween rich and poor the difference what ? In w orking or in working not: Why then on Sunday wer’e as great As those who own a vast estate. For on tc-mo row's happy day We shall work less perhaps than they— And, though no dainties I afford, W hut’s sweet and clean will grace my hoard. For which, and every blessing given, Thankful we’ll how the knee to Heaven— In God'sown House our voices raise, With grateful nolos ofprayer and praise. These duties will not interfere, Or cloud ray brow with thought severe : Hut still leave time enough to spend, To take a walk or see o friend. Sweet's the tranquility of heart, Which public worship does inipint, And sweet’s the field, and sweet's the road, To him conscience hears no load. Thus shall the day. ns God designed, Promote my health, unbend my mind; On Monday morning, free from pain, Cheerful I'll go to work again. Our life is but a lengthened week, Through which with toil for rest we seek ; And he whose labor well is pai t, A joyful Sabbath finds at last. Franklin Monument.

A Theac.ikho s F hi vu.—-Hacehus in the classic days of Greece and Romi—that is to sav in the days of drunken literature, was lout d a po tent god—never failing, fail as he might in aught else, to render his devotees impotent. As no worship is apt to he relinquished w hich gratifies the appetites or propensities of the followers, the jolly go i holds his own, while all the rest of the gods in the pantheon are forgotten. A greater province is permitted to him than in the days of his open and formal worship—for he is a regular monopolist, and claims libations on all occasions. Uc they of joy or grief—of prosperity or adversity —m irriage or death—birth or interment—the jol ly god lorces his claim as a congratulating friend, or a consoling support. There may be method in his policy, and virtue under his hypocritical friendship, but he certainly pleys rogues false tricks. Your thief, in the ex citement ol tear, imbibes liquid courage aid so curi ig himself incapable ot motion, falls an ea-sv prize to the thief catcher, with the evidence of h.s acquisitiveness upon his person.

We have liefove Us. a hand bill, dated Macon, Dee. 17, signed by the Agents of the several in surance companies, In that place, offering a re ward of one thousand dollars, for the detection and conviction of tin 1 individuals who had (hat •lay attempted to set fire to several ware-houses, lin that city. In addition to this, we have been shown a letter from Macon, stating that the attempts alluded to, were made about the I usuol hour of dinner, and from the number I of such altempts, at the same time in different I parts of the rity, it is supposed that several in cendiaries must have been at work. By letters from Columbus, wc learn that a man I who was arrested on a charge of horse stealing has confessed some things calculated to lead to a discovery of the incendiaries vvlto burned down tho Court-house & Jail, some time since. In con -1 sequence of these confessions, several other indi viduals were arrested. One ofthe individuals who J actually fired the Court-house is now in prison^ I and the citizens hove hern called on to form a I guard at the Jail, to prevent a rescue.

The following extract from Gov, Clark’s late message to the Legislature, shows the giant strides that this entc i prising (State is making in the internal improvement of her roads and rivers: ‘•During the present year much labor lias boon bestowed upon the various works ot Internal Im provement throughout the State ; the different turnpike roads are rapidly advancing to comple tion, and the latter part of the season has been para. ularly favorable to the progtess of the works upon the rivers; a minute account of which will be reported by the Board ot Internal Improvement, i When the present contracts ant finished, there will be completed, within the Slate, one thousand one hundred mid seventy two miles of turnpike roads, and three hundred and eighteen miles of slack water navigation. The expenditure ofthe 1 State in the construction of these roads, up to the 10th of October last, (including two hundred and one thousand nine hundred and three dollars paid the Lexington and Ohio rail road, (has been one million six hundred and eighty-two thousand six hundred and sixteen dollars ; and the amount re quited to complete the same is about eight hun dred and seventeen thousand thtce hundred and ! eighty four dollars.

The wisdom of previous legis latures, wlio, in their laudable zeal to advance the interest of the commonwealth, slept forward and contend with and overcome the opposition that uniformly presents itself in the incipienry of all great enterprises, has left you only the duty of ex panding and prosecuting to completion, a policy i ; so well calculated to enrich the Stale. It is well that the system has been commenced ; had Ken tucky slumbered to the present time, listless ami indifferent to this great work, she would ere long i he, forced to its adoption by the irresistible influ ( ence of surrounding circumstances—by the, ener gy that characterizes the age, and by the example ’ of other States that arc, under the influence of the 8 system, so rapidly advancing in wealth, in numer s ical and political importance. Kentucky cannot , stand still ; she must sustain herself in her com mercial and political relations, and in her social r intercourse with her sister republics, not only by t adopting, but by carrying out similar measures ; . otherwise she becomes tributary to those States, mid in (lie same ratio that they advance in prospe rity, must she degenerate in physical and political power.” From the Milledgeville diurnal.

A party of about fifty of our citizens who had been invited to a public dinner, furnish ed by the citizens of Monroe, left hero about 9 A. M., and arrived in Forsyth a few minutes after 10. The road, almost from one end to the- other was lined with anxious spectators, curious to witness so great u novelty, and near Forsyth the whole country was literally covered with people. The day was passed in great eonvivality and good feel ing. Several handsome addresses were delivered by the guests, and a groat number of sentiments given, most of which will be found iu the proceed ings. In the evening the parly returned, passing over the whole distance in 09 minutes. The road was in good order; and appears to be well built; and only a very small section in the deep cut at Singer’s hill needs any improvement, which it will receive in a few days. The Locomotive now used is of the finest order, and will no doubt pass between the two places, including stoppages for wood and water in one hour.

A bill to form a new county, came up in the House mi Friday afternoon last, to be made up from the counties of Cass, Gilmer, Murray, and Cherokee.

The Legislature of Missouri appears to be engaged in the discussion of the proper method to punish Col. Z. Taylor, of the U. S. Army, for his report of an engagement in Florida, in which lie rcllcctcd upon the conduct of the Missouri volunteers. Col. T. enjoys a high reputation iu the army, as a distinguished soldier, and a man of the nicest sense of honor; and if he did an in justice to that portion of his command, we arc persuaded it was entirely unintentional. Poli ticians should reflect well hetbre they attempt to drag oflicers of the army before court martial, for alleged inaccuracies in official reports. Let the far of political partisans become an inmate of the breasts of the American Army, and that Army, instead of being the pride and defence of the country will become its curse.— Mobile Chronicle, Mn. Caliiovn —a prophet. —Mr. Calhoun has exhibited a grout fondness of late for playing the part of ex post facto prophet. In relation to mat ters of finance, especially, he has informed us that he forcsim • many events which have happened, but the information of his foresight was never vouchsafed until after the happening of those events. We did not expect, however, that ho would ever have been caught confessing that his foresight was of this expost facto character. But such is actually the case. In a recent letter de clining a public dinner offered him by certain po litical friends in Pittsylvania, Va., he says—“l early foresaw that the government had departed from the true principles of the constitution, and that the effect of such departure would he, if not corrected the overthrow of our institutions and the loss of our liberty. Ho foresaw that the gov ernment had departed”—wonderful sagacity to foresee a thin gafter it had happened !—Charles ton Courier. Official Honesty in New-Vork. The New-Vork correspondent of the National Intelligencer, gives a very flattering account of the integrity of the official horde in New-Vork. Wc copy a paragraph : “ New Vork docs not allow itself, in any thing, to bo outdone.

Monday being the day set apart for the tnaugura- , lion of the now President, Miraheau B. Lamar, it 1 was celebrated on board the Texas packet schoon- \ er Teazer in a becoming manner. Captain Green- [ law, the commander, having made ample provis ion for the occasion, the guests invited assembled ; on board at I o’clock, and did ample justice to the i good things set before them. We were astonish ed, on examining the accommodations of this splendid packet, to find them so extensive and, commodious, equal to some of our finest p icket ships; the berths being all enclosed in State Rooms, with two spacious cabins for ladies, with every convenience attached. The glass passed merrily around, and senti ment and song enlivened the company for some hours; the corps editorial were not forgotten on the occasion, and especially the Evening Star, the early friend of Texas. Major Norton, the active and enterprising agent of this vessel, as well as many others, were duly remembered. The Ma jor, to a sentiment offered, made a very neat and appropriate reply. In the course of his remarks, ho alluded to the opposition of sundry individu als to him on account of his exertions in behalf of Texas, and expressed his determination to overcome them all, if perseverance and industry could effect it.

The Bayonet a Harmless Weapon.—The bayonet may, in full truth, bo termed tlie grand mvstifier of modern tactics. I here appeal public ly to the most experienced officers ot tlie Army, to those who fought, as many really did, in Egypt, the Peninsula, and Waterloo, and ask, whether any one of them over beheld a bayonet contest 1 Did they ever, on field or beach, on plain or ram part, behold men thrust and counterthrust at each other with their bayonets ? That in some scram bling attack of works, or hasty flight out of works or villages, a soldier may perhaps have been killed or wounded with a bayonet is pos filla, but to sup pose that soldiers ever rushed into close combat, armed only with bayonets, is an absurdity; it never happened and never can happen. Has any one ol the officers appealed to come forward to contra dict me? No; not one. During the nine cam paigns here spoken of, wc were opposed to the bravest and most experienced soldiers of continen tal Europe, and the actions fought between the contending parties may safely be looked upon as in the mass, the most sanguinary and determined ever fought with modern arms ; fought too, on every species of ground—on level, plain and moun tain top, amid the precipices of the Pyrenees, in the corn-fields of Flanders, and on the sternly guarded rampartsof the Spanish fortresses. PI very mode of combat was resorted to, every efficient weapon placed in the soldier’s hand was called upon to furnish its quota of victims towards pay ing the Moloch price of modern victory. Round and grape strewed the affrighted earth with the mangled corses of her children: the millions of musket balls showered through clouds of smoke, from host to host, failed not, with time and toil, to bring their unhappy thousands to the ground ; the sabres of the cavalry were often died with the blood of the, brave; but, amid the wildest scenes of slaughter, the bayonet shone innoxious; umlim mod by human gore, its brightness served but to illustrate the most lamentable delusion that was ever allowed to press upon an entire profession. No British officer has ever yet asserted that, du- ( ring these campaigns, he had over seen victory achieved, results decided, or men overthrown by bayonet thrusts; and this silence, after such a contest, maintained against such adversaries, will hardly fail to satisfy unbiased minds as to the real military value of the bayonet.— United Service Journal. Tiik Jealous Husband.— A thrilling event' —Great excitement has been created at Madrid’ by a murder committed by M. Rodriguez, a Dcpu* ty, on the person of his wife, a young and beau’ tiful woman, to whom he had been married but about two years. A Paris paper gives tlie fol lowing account of this tragical affair: M. Rodriguez, who is extremely jealous, ac companied his lady to a masked bull, given by M. Vinnndores. His wife’s brother was amongst the guests incognito, and wishing to cure his brother-in-law of his failing, imprudently accos ted him with an inquiry if he was still as jealous as ever. “I am at all events not jealous of you, beeiu Masque,” was the reply. “ There you arc wrong,” said the mask, “ for you have a very handsome wife, with whose charms 1 am deeply smitten.” “So much the worse for you,” retorted M. Rodriguez. “By no means,” said the brother, “ for your wife returns my affections, and ns a proof of it, I can inform you that she has a vio lent mark under the right bosom.” At these words, M. Rodriguez seized the stranger with the utmost violence by the hand, exclaiming “ your life or mine? Meet me in a quarttr of an hour at my house.” He then tore his wife from the quadrille which she was dancing, amt, without saying a word to her, hurried her home. On reaching his hotel, lie ascended the staircase with his wife still on his arm, dragged her into his cab inet without procuring a light, opened his secre tary, and, taking from it a loaded pistol, placed the muzzle close to his wife's bosom, and shot her through the heart. At the report, a number of domestics, accompanied by the ill-fated lady’s brother, who had been the involuntary cause of this frightful catastrophe, rushed into the room with lights. On witnessing the dreadful sight which met his eyes, the brother tore off his mask and proclaimed his near relationship to this victim. The disclosure deprived the wretched husband es his senses, and he was hurried from the spot in a state of raving madness, which the Madrid corres pondent, whom we quote, fears he will not survive.

We do not expect to see any Muscovado Sugar till February, and Molasses will not be plenty till late next month, the price is ex pected to break high, say 6 a G j rls. New Codec comes in very' slowly, and readily finds purchasers. No recent sale of Rice, our quo tation we consider about the price a cargo would command —referring to price current for that and other particulars. II wasa, December 5. The cargo of Rice ex Howell, was to-day sold at 13J rials. Coffee is very scarce, the rainy weather we had for two or three weeks made the road: extraordi nary bad, this causes the arrivals from the country to be extraordinary small and the demand great prices are very firm.
