THOUGH a man of very strict princi ples, no man ever enjoyed a joke more than Doctor Byron; l.e had a vast fond of humor, and ever-ready wit, and with children, particularly, he loved to chat familia. l\ and draw them out. As ‘ lie wns one day passing into the house, he was accosted by a very little hoy, who asked him ifhe wanted tiny SAUCE, mean ing vegetables. The doctor inquired if such a titty thing was a market-man.— *• No. str, my father,” wa*the prompt answer. The doctor said,‘Bring tin in smite squashes,’ and passed into the house sending out the change. In few mo ments the child returned, bringing back part of the change ; the doctor told him he was welcome to it; b- 1 the child would not take it back, saying his lather would blame him*—Such singular man ners in tichi'd attract- rl bis Htn-ution. .-nil he began lo examine the child attentively , he was evidently pour, his little j-.<i ei was pte< ed and patched with almost every kind of cloth, and his trousers dnrutd witli so many colors it was difficult to te I the origiona! fabric, hut scrupulously neat and dean withal. The buy very qoiet'-v endured <he scrtitinv of the doc tor, while holding him at arm’s length, andexaniiiiitig Ins b-ce. At length he stud-. * You seem to he a nice little hoy; won’t you come and live with me and be a doc.- lor ?’ * Yes sir,’ said the child, ‘ Spoken liuea man.’ said the doctor, patting his head as he dismissed him. A lew weeks passed on, when one day Jim came to say there was a little boy w ith a bundie down stairs, wanting to see the doctor, and would not tell his business to any one else. ‘ Send hint up,* ws the answer; and in a few m-mu ni he recognized the hoy of the sqnashe* (hot no squash himself, as we shall see); lie was dressed in anew, though coc..e suit of clothes, his hair very nicely comb ed. his shoes brushed tip, and a little bun dle, tied in a homespun checked hand kerchief, nn his arm. Deliberately tak’ ing off his hat, and laving it down w ith his bundle, walked up to the doctor, say tng, * I have come, sir.’ ‘ Come for what, my child ?’ ‘To live with you, and be a doctor,’ said the child, with the utmost NAIVETE. The first impulse of the doctor was to laugh imtnoderat ly ; but the imp. :!ar able gravity of the little thing rather cohered him, as he recalled, too, his for mer conversation, and he avowed he nev er felt so perplexed in his life. At that time he felt he needed no addition to his family. * Did your father consent to your com ing.’ he asked. ‘ Yes, sir.’ ‘ What did he say ? ’ ‘ 7 told him you wanted me to come and live with yon and he a doctor; and he saitl you was a very good man, and I might come as soon ns my clothes were ready.’ * And your mother, what did she say?’ * She said, Dctor Byron would do Hist what he said he would, and God hail provided for ine.’ And said he, ‘ I have on anew suit of clothes,’ surveying him self. ‘and here is another in the bundle,’ undoing the Itandercltief, and displaying ■ Item, with two little shirts, white as snow, and a c itipfe of neat checked aprons, so rnremll.y fnlde(f, it was plain none hut a mother would have chine it. The sensi bilities of the doctor were awakened to see the fearless, the ondnubting trust with which that poor couple had bestowed their child upon hint, and such a child. His cogitations were not lung ; lie thought of M .ses in the bulrushes, abandoned to Providence ; and, above all, he thought of the child that wns carried into Egypt, and that the divne Savior had said, • Blessed he little children,’ and lie called for the w ife of hi* bosom, saying, • Susan, dear, I think we pmv in church that God w ill have mercy UPON ALL YOUNG CHIL DREN.’ * To he sure we do.’ snid the wonder ing wife ; • anti wlmt then ?’ •Anri the Saviour said, ‘whosoever received! one stirli little child in my name, recciveth me,’take this child in His name, and take care of him ;’ and from litis hour this good couple received hint to their hearts and homes. It did not then occur lo them that oce of the most emmet physicians and best men ot the age stood before them in the person ol that child ; it did not occur to them that tins little creature thus thrown upon tlieir charity, was destined to be their staff and stay in decliug age—a protector to their daughters, and more than sou to them 9t4vesj all this was then unrevealed ; but they cheerfully received the child they believed Providence had committed lo their cate : and if ever beneficence was rewarded, it was in this instact.— Family Circle and Parlor Annual. COLUMBUS AWAKE! The meeting on Tuesday night last furnished satisfactory evidence of the truth of the above declaration. One thing we consider is now settled beyond the possibility ol a doubt a Railroad w ill he ilia short timeioChonnennggee, and built from thence to Mobile Bay, placing our city in the exalted position designed by nature, on the great highway of travel North and South. 7t may have been doubtful heretofore, but it is now a fixed fact , Ihe Railroad will be built, and that at an early day. Tlte people on the line, with Columbus to bark them, have deter mtnd it shall he done, end built it will be, regardless of all other movements or routes of Road. We ore located by nature on nn air line North and South, and this will and must he tlte great route of travel. Who can estimate (lie advan tages resulting to us and our city, upon the of this Road ? what changes in travel, in freights, and busi ness generally, will it produce. At tlte present lime, for tlte w ant of this Road, and the completion of the Muscogee Road, tlte cotton and trade that ought to find its way to this city, is drawn to other markets. The tide is setting from us to Montgomery and other places, and they are now gleaning, as it were, from our fileds; hot w hen tlte above conting encies happen, not only will we he permitted to reap from our ow n fields again, hut largely from others. The flood-tide will set in heavily upon us, and we shall realise the greatness of our natural positions and extraordinary ad vantages. This is no chimera of a dis ordered brain, but is the result of sober and reasonable calculation. When these nnd a connection with the West Point Road is completed, it will be 100 miles narer to Montgomery (’ ia Columbus front Sevannah) than Atlanta consequent ly all the travel in that direction, and freight, must pass this way from the North, nnd a large amount of cotton will find its way to Savannah from Montgom ery in all probability ; nnd upon the completion of tlte Augusta branch, a good share of travel will doubtless find its way by ]\|acon and Columbus. IJpon the completion of the Girard and Mobile Road, a large share of the Mobile, New Orleans and Texas travel will pass over this route, for the best reason in the world, viz. : that it will he the shortest, least expensive, and of course the mos; desira ble route. It is also but a rensonble calculation, that upon the completion of the Musco gee Road, a very considerable amount [of tlte groceries sold in Macon will pass this way from New Orleans, via ydpala charola. for the reason that it will he the safest and c heapest route, avoiding the tedious and dangerous passage round the cape to Florida. 1o a few weeks we shall be in weekly communication with New Orleans, (via Apalaeliacola) by steam—through the enterprising and go-a-head spirit of our fellow townsman, Capt. W. J. McAllister. Columlms is known lo he ns good or a belter gro cery market than Macon, Augusta, or even Savannah ; consequently she will rival, siicessfnlly we think, those cities, lor the Cherokee and Tennessee trade in lhat line, when our connection is made with the Montgomery Road. Let, then, not only the City Council carry out in uond faith with friends of the Mobile and Girard Rond (which, we doubt not it will do.) Ihe recommendation of the citizens at the meeting on Tuesday night, hut let our merchants nod men of means ren der all the assistance possible, by private subscriptions, to all these enterprises, nod Columbus is safe. We shall then live in a city that will he a city—we shall then be known nbrnnd as well as at home —our resources will be developed, and oor great advantages will be appreciated by those who are now strangers to them I —and e shall reach the high position designed for us by Him who made all 1 things. | TLRMSj $2 in Advance. From the New York Dry Good* Reporter. Manufactures at the Eolith- The history of manufactures is a sin gular and useful one, whether we regard it as a matter of industrial enterprise or political speculation. Nations, as well as individuals, are sometimes compelled to serve apprenticeships, and nothing il lustrates this remark ns well as the his tories of those countries which, by their manufactures have become wealthy and independent. We will go no further back than to the time when England was in a condition of vassalage to Holland and the Netherlands, in respect lo this most important feature of her industry and greatness. The markets of London, we are informed, were filled with “ iron, lumber, and leather, ready manufactured. Tlte English grew food for the Dutch, and the Dutch ate it; wool for the Dutch, they wove it.” But this condition lasied only long enough for England to become th roughly acquainted with manufaetur in as her taskmaster was ; when, throw ing off the shackles which made her de pendent and the imperial system of British manufactures was established which has reared un empire ‘lie most magnificent in wealth and power the world has ever seen. America, in her colonial condition, was to Great Britain, what Great Britain had been to the German States. The House of Commons so considered it, when they declared “ iliat the erecting of manufactories in the colonies tended to lessen their dependence upon the mother country.” /t is well known to every one at all conversant with the early history of his country, that wns only af ter our political independence was achi eved that we turned our attention to pro fiiahle manufactures. And no lover of his country can ever forget, that the year 1807 to 1815, during the embargo, non intercourse act, and the war, dates our industrial independence ol Gteat Britian ; and that those very acts gave impelus to manufactures,'trade and business, which were, beyond precedent, profitable. We do not me m by these romparisons to excite sectional jealousy, or persuade tlie South that she has been in a condi tion of degrading vassalage to the North. We only wish the South to feel that the term of her apprenticeship Inis expired.— We would desire lo impress upon the minds of her people the conviction that the advantages which tlipy possess over til'-North for the manufacture of cheap nnd cnar. e goods, (for to manufacture the finer qualities will require more experi* ence nnd capital than they now possess,) are many and important. Cheap living, low wages, cheap cotton, coal nnd iron, constitute the great eleinenis of success in die introduction and successful prosecu tion of cotton manufacture. No country in the world possesses these elements in a degree equal to the Southern and South western Stales. Heretofore the capital and industry of this large section of the country have been almost entirely devot ed to agricultural pursuits. By diversi fying their labor, in the manner we have proposed, they ensure their endependre both of England and the North, while their labor, thus diversified, is made more profitable to themselves. The rotton is ready at their doors, and costs them one cent per pound less than it does the Northern manufacturer. The cost of transportation from the field to some Southern port, thence to Northern fac tories, the cost of insurance, payment of agencies, profits to manufacturers, and cost of reiransportatiou back in the form of cloth ; all these are items which go to swell the difference in the profits which the Northern and Southern manu facture receives. Nor are we without hope that the in terest which hris been excited oil this sub ject will not be profitless. Already it is estimated that Georgia Ims in operation 40 cotton mills, using 80,000 spindles, and consuming 45,000 hales nl cotton annu ally ; in Tennessee there are 30 factories, and 36,000 spindles ; in South Carolina there are 16 factories, 36,500 spindles, and 700 looms, consuming 15,000 bales of cotton ; Alabama has 14 factories 12,- SSO spindles, and 300 looms, consuming 9500 bales of cotton. Thus in four, States alone there are 98 factories those in process of building, working 140.000 spindles, consuming probably 75,000 bales ol cotton annually, and, if they go on increasing for the next five yejjrs as they have for the past five, we may safely calculate on some 200 cotton mills in operation in the Southern States, consym- NO 32
