That side of the moon which is timed from
us, has a night of nearly fifteen days; the stars
only, and planets, shine on its ever dark sky.—
The Hide wcscp, on the contrary, knows no
night; the night lights it up with never ceasing
earth-«hine, a light fourteen times stronger than
that which we receive from the rnoou. We re
cognize our own light, lent to our friend, in the
taint, gayish giiinmer of that poition of the moon
which before and alter the new moon receives
no light from the sun, but only from the earth,
and reflects it back again upon us. Morning* in
fall show it more brilliant than evenings in spring
because in autumn the continents of the earth
with their stronger light illuminate the moon,
while in spring she only receives a fainter light
from our oceans. Our orb appears to the Man
in the Moon as changeable as his home to us,
an I he might speak of the first or Inst quarter of
the new earth and full earth. The whole
Heaven moves before him once in 29 days
ai. und its axis; the sun and stars rise and
set regularly once i 1 the long day; but the vast orb
of our earth is nearly immovable. All around is
in unceasing motion; the mild face ofearth alone
a gorgeous tnoon of immense magnitude, never
sets nor rises, but remains ever fixed in the
zenith. It there appears sixleen times lar.er
than the moon to us, and daily exhibits its vast
panorama of oceans, continents and islands. —
Bright light and dark shadows are seen in ever
varied change, land or waler, clearings of forests
ap|>ear, new with every cloud or fog. and different
at different seasons. The Man in the oon has
thus not only his watch and his almanac daily
before him in the everchanging face of the earth,
but he may, for all we know, have maps of our
globe which many a geographer would envy on
account of their fullness and accurMK, Long
before Columbus discovered America, iW Cook
New Holland, our lunar neighbor knew most
correctly the form and the outlines of the new
continents. There was no new world lor him,
and there is none left. He could tell us the se
crets of the interior of Africa, end reveal to us
the fearful mysteries ofthe Polar Seas, But how
he on his side must marvel at our vast fields of
snow, our volcanoes and tropical storms and tem
pests—he who knows neither fire, nor now, snor
clouds! What strange fables ho may have in
vented to explain the shadows of our clouds as
they chase each other over sea and land, and
hide from him in an instant the sunlit landsciqie!
And stranger still, on the side of the moon which
is turned from the earth, he knows nothing at
all about us, unle s news reach him from the
happier side. Or he may undertake—the great
event in his life—a long and painful journey to
the bright half of his g obe; to stare at the won
derously brilliant earth-star with its unread mys
teries and marvelouschangci of fitting lights and
shadows. Who knows what earnest prayers may
arise from the moon, lull of thanks lor the floods
of light and heat we pour upon them, or of ar
dent wishes that their souls might hereafter be
allowed to dwell in the bright homes of the beau
teous star?— Putnam’s Monthly.

Thb Dabvxl Calculating Girl. —The Ayr
Advertiser has an account of a recent public ex
amination at Beith, ofthe little girl whose won
derful powers of calculation have attracted so
much notice. The gentleman in charge ol the
child allowed any one present to propose ques
tions to her. Among the queries thus submitted
were;
How many times does a clock etike in the
month of June! 4,680 was the prompt reply.
In tile year 1855? 56,940. In a litetime ot 75
years’ 4,270,500.
She was now asked the value of 313 yards o’
linen, at 2s. I) 3-4 d. per yard, and in 35 seconds
she gave the answer, £44 os. 3 3-3 d. Being re
quested to show lhe modus operands, she began
aloud with 313 3-4 make 959, the s’s in 939 234

quotient of that product divided by 19. Ti e
product, 402,459,875, and the quotient, 26 445

performance of this heavy question, her teacher
begged to be allowed to give her the sqrare upi n

I remember the black wharves and the slips.
And the sea-tides trssing free ;
And Spanish sailors with bearded lips,
An J the beauty and mystery of the ships,
And the magic ofthe sea.
And the voice of that wayward song
Is singing and saying still :
‘ A boy’s will is the wind’s will,
And the thoughts ofyouth are long, long thoughts.’
I remember the bulwarks of the shore,
And the fort upon the hill;
The sunrise pun, with its hollow roar,
The drum-beat repeated o’er and o’er,
And the bugle wild and shrill;
And the music of that old song
Throbs in my memory still:
‘ A boy’s will is the wind’s will,
And t Ire thoughts ofyouth are long, long thoughts.
I remember the sea-fight far away,
H iw it thundered o’er the tide!
And the dead captains, as they lay,
In their graces, o’erlooking the tranquil bay,,
Where they in battle died.
And the sound of that mournful song.
Goes tbjrough me with a thrill :
‘ A boy’s will is the wind’s will,
And the thoughts ofyouth are long, long thoughts.’
I can see the breezy dome of groves,
Th shallow of Deering’s woods;
And the friendships old and the early loves
Come back with a Sabbath sound, as of doves
In queit neighborhoods.
And the verse of that sweet old song,
It flutters and murmurs still :
‘ A boy’s will is the wind’s will.
And thetlioughtsofyouth are long,longthoujghta,’
I remember the gleams and glooms that da.rt
Across the schoolboy’s brain ;

Are longings wild and vain.
And (be voice of that fitful song
Sings on. and is never still:
‘ A boy’s will is the wind’s will.

There are things of which I may not speak;
There are dreams that cannot die ; [weak
There are thoughts that make the stromg heart
And bring a pallor into the cheek,
And a mist pallor into the cheek,
And a mist before the eye.
And the words of that fatal song
Come over me like a chill :
‘ A boy’s will is the wind’s will.

But the native air is pure and sweet, [street,
And the trees t at o’ershndow each well-known
As they balance up and down,
Are singing the beautiful song,
Are sighing and whispering still:
‘ A boy’s w 11 is the wind’s 'will,
And the thoughts ofyouth are long, long thoughts.’
And Deering's Woods are fresih and fair,
And with joy that is almost pain,
My heart goes back to wander there,
And among the dreams ofthe days that were,
I find my lost youth again.
And the strange and beautiful song,
The groves are repeating it still:
‘ A boy’s will is the wind's will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.'
Mt&ECRATioN.—We are credibly informed
that in apolitical discussion, which took place at
McDonough, on Monday, 28th nit., the Know
Nothing speaker said that, Gov. James Jack
son was “a monkey und a cat’s paw.” W e were
not prepare! to - believe that the principles of the
Dark Lantern order had so far corrupted the
minds of its members as to lead them into such
disrespect for the heroes and sages of our rev
olutionary struggle, as the above language indi
cates. True, Junies Jackson was a foreigner,
born in England, and emigrated to- Georgia
just before the commencement of the war of in
dependence. Through the whole of that perilous
contest, he exhited a heroic devotion to the cause
of American freedom, inferior to none who took
part in that- eventful struggle. No man en
joyed to a greater extent the confidence and es
teem of the people of Georgia, than he did. He
was a member of the Legislature, Major Gen
eral; memberof the convention that framed our
present State Constitution, of which, it is said,
lie wrote the greater part, Elector for President
and Vice President, Governor, and Senator
in Congress. Ile was mainly instrumental in pro
curing the repeal of the iniquitous Yazoo Act,
which repeal saved to Georgia that vast terri
tory now composing the State of Alabama and
Mississippi, which a corrupt Legislature had
sold to a band of lawless speculators for a mere
song. From our earliest recollection we
have heard the name of James Jackson spoken
of with reverence and affection by the people of
Georgia, and never till 1855, after this sage
and hero has shimberd in the peaceful and
quite repose of the grave for half a century, and
a new Order has sprung up among us, disre
garding the true principles of American freedom
' have we heard such langage applied to one of
the fathers of the Republic. Truly, we have

..... thought that this ought to be
perfectly manifest, even to theminds ofthe for
eigners." Unquestionably they pressed forward
early and vigorously to the polls, in order to be
the first, if possible, and in this they were right.
They had a perfect right to go, if they choose,
to the polls at 12 o’clock on Sunday night, and
remained there till the following morning.—
They had a right to go at what time they
pleased and in what numbers they could.—
They had a right even to toss their friends over
the heads of the crowd to the polls, as we are
told they did in some few instances, though this
was no doubt a violation of courtesy. They
had a right to vote as fast as they could, pro
vided they used no violence in pulling or thrust
ing back their opponents from the polls, and
we have not heard it alleged that they did this
in a solitary instance.”
Here the self-styled Americans were exercis
ing their rights, and the reader can see what sort
of right it was. The City Council had provid
ed but one voting place in a Ward. Accord
ing to the Journal, Americans took the polls
in crowds, as they had a right todo; and the
fact is, that all who had a yellow ticket could
get through either at the front or back door.—
The Americans voted with rapidity: and as
soon as they were done did they leave? The
Journal informs its readers what took place
early in the afternoon at the First Ward. He
is a good witness, against himself at least. Let
him write on, and we shall prove the whole ;
disgraceful story by himself. As soon as the
voting ofthe K. N.’s vas over, there came the
cry of arm in the Catholic church, and then
came the yell down town that the Germans had
taken the polls with guns. In the meantime,
murderers and ruffians were knocking down
foreigners on the streets, and spreading terror
everywhere; and yet we are told that all could
vote.
A foreigner did not dare appear in the
street, much less at the polls, amongst that
crowd the editor had to address, who were
ready to burn churches, and who showed them
selves, at night, capable of murder and arson—
capable of setting fire to houses, and killing the
inmates if they attempted to retreat, thus burn
ing np in their own houses men, women, and ■
children. Crowds of such characters at the
]M>lls, yelling for Sam, Marshall, and Prentice,
for they recived him with acclamations, and yet
we are told in horrid mockery that any one
could vote that chose!!
And now let us see how great are the crimes
of foreigners. Let the facts, written in letters
of blood, inform the world what sort of men
filled the city on election day; and even the
world will decide who were the aggressors. But
foreigners resisted in some instances. Perhaps
in terror of the mob they fired, pistols; what is
to be thought of them? How the editor of the
Journal appreciates their conduct appears in
this:
“We are assured upon good authority that
Francis Quinn's, who was found dead in one of
the blocks of burnt horses belonging to him,
was seen a few days since with a double barrel
ed shot gun and a supply of shot, which he said
he had procured for use on the day of the elec
tion. While his b ilding was burning there
was a constant report of fire arms inside, the
discharges being produced by the heat. These
instruments of death had evidently been provid
ed for dealing death to Americans. The ex
plosions of powder whilst his houses were on
fire showed that he had laid in a large quantity
of ammunition.
We deeply regret Mr. Quinn’s death, yet all
the evidence proves that his blood is upon his
own head.”
This man Francis Quinn had been a citizen
of Kentucky for twenty or thir y years. He
had acquired a large property, and was a quiet,
inoffensive old man. His property was attack
ed in May last by the mob. He was threaten
ed with still further violence. He told us then,
he had rather that his property should go than
the police should fire upon the mob, as they
might kill thoughtless boys or innocent persons.
His gray hairs were no protection. He was as
sassinated and burned up in his own house.
We do’nt believe a word of the story told of
his having purchased arms. Those who commit
mnrder and arson can LIE. Their testimony
nobody will take. They are not competent
witnesses.
But suppose he had got arms and used them.
He had warning enough by the mob t a pre
vious election to fear what was coming. Had
he not a right to prepare and defend himself,
and shed the last drop of his blood and that of
his assailants? Has it come to this, that men
have not the right to defend their homes, their
wives, and their children? Yet the editor of
the Journal cooly informs the public that “his
blood is upon his own head."
The truth is. that the crime of Francis Quinn
was, that be was an Irishman and a Catholic—
the brother of a priest who dial some time
since. According to the Louisville Journal his
crime was that he had fire arms in his house,
when he believed he was to be moblied. For
this he was killed—burned up; and, says that
incomparable moralist of the Journal, “his
blood is upon his own head.” There are sever
al other self-stultifying articles in the Journal,
and we expect the editor will write on. It is
not wortli while to disprove what he says. He
will testify agaainst himself.
We are not done with this number of the
Journal. No willing witness and special plead
er can get through the horrid story of Mon
day.
An Important Decision.
8. M. G. Gary vs. Thomas Oliver.—
This was an action on the case. The facts
were these: Thos. Oliver, a Kentucky horse
trader, desiring to sell a horse to Dr Gary
of Cokesbury, represented him as being
remarkbly gentle—a woman could manage
him; (Gary wished to purchase a safe
family norse.) The horse was harnessed to
a buggy, and Dr. G. requested Oliver to
drive him; this Oliver declined to do, on
the ground that he had been sick, was weak I
and could not see very well. The Plaintiff,
Col 8. M. G. Gary, was then requested by
Oliver to drive the horse, who also refused,
not regarding him, from his appearance,
as safe; but at length, on the rep-ated
assurance of Oliver that he was a gentle
horse, and had been driven by his wife,
was induced to get in the buggy and drive
him. He found the horse unmanageable
and vicious; be ran away, and by a kick
broke the Plaintiff’s leg. Action was
brought for damages, and the ease abjy
argued on both sides before Judge Ward
law at the recent extra Court for Abbeville.
A verdict was returned for the Plaintiff of

have undoubtedly carried both Houses, but
by what precise majority in each we cannot

Our neighbor will soon be able to present the
public with the official list of the killed wound
ed and missing of his party, and will perhaps
accompany it with a quotation from one of his
newspaper co-laborers in another State, “we have
lost ip the fight every thing except our pen, ink
and paper,”
The reader, we are sure, will not expect us to
restrain our joy in announcing the result of the
battle of last Monday. We who have labored
for weeks and months, feebly, it is true, but
honestly, untiringly and fearlessly in the cause
of our party—who have been the constant ob
jects of our Know. Nothing detraction and
vituperation, cannot but view with a thrill joy
the flag under which we have fought, jiroudly
floating throughout the length and breadth of
the State over the prostrate and lifeless foe.—
Under the circumstances, fee might well be ex
cused, even in the estimation of political oppm
nents for “gazing enraptured o’er the scene.”—
But we will not permit our feelings to carry us
beyond the legitimate bounds of felicitation to
our companions in the fight.
We rejoice that Know-Nothingism has been
“crushed out” lu opr midst, because we conscien
tiously believe that itp principlesand tendencies
are in opposition to the institutions of our coun
try. We have set a good example tq bur
friends in Georgia, Mississippi pud Louisiana.—
We say unto them, “Go thou and dp like

Mistakes, or Misstatements, >or
Misrepresentations?—Hon. Wil
lis A. Hawkins.
When a candidate appears before the people
for the high office of Representative in Congress
it is presumed that he is at least a truth teller.
We must charitably conclude, therefore, that
Hon. Willis A Hawkins is not posted in the
current political history of the times and that
the gross misstatement of facts in which he
habitually indulges is the result of natural
Know Nothingism. The editor of the South-
Western News notes the following mistakes
made by the candidate of the Know Nothings
in a sjieech delivered at Vienna, Dooly County
on the Ist inst.
Ist. He said “Governor Johnson had de
clined open discussion. This is untrue.—
Governor Johnson has invited his competitor
Garnett Andrews, to canvass the State with
him.
2d. He said .‘.‘that the Democracy elected
John P. Hale to the Senate.” ’This is untrue-
John P. Hale was elected first to die Senate by
a fusion of Whigs and Abolitionists over a
regularly nominated democratic candidate; and
he owes his last election exclusively to the
Know Nothings.
3d. He said "that of the 44 Northern Dem
ocrats who voted for the Nebraska-Kansas
Bill, only 6 were re-elected. The returns show
that there are 14 Northern Democrats already
elected to the House who were supporters of the
Bill.
4th. He said that “the law requiring 14
years residence as a preliminary to naturaliza
tion was passed during the administration of
Washington.” This is too bud. I’lje first law
on the subject of naturalization, passed under
Washington’s administration, required a resi

clianged to five years; and thus it stood until
old John Adams and the Federalists changed
it to 14 years. As soon.however, as Mr. Jef
ferson and the Republicans got into power the
term was shortened to 5 years, and there it has
stood until the present day.
Mr. Hawkins is inexcusable for his palpable
blunder. A reference to the laws of the Uni

Bfgy. The increase of the trade ofthe Unied
States with the port of Havana, over that of
ail other nations, notwithstanding the bad feeling
that has existed between the two countries is
truly wonderful. The Havana Mercantile Re
ports. of the Bth nit., gives a statement of the
number of vessels, their tonnage, and the nations
to which they belong, which entered the port ot
Hai ana during the first six month of the ten
years last past. The increase in the total ton
nage for the first six months of the years, from
1846 to 1855, is a trifle more than li)0 per cent.
While the American tonnage has increased
more than two hundred per cent., the Spanish
and british is nearly stationary. For the first
six months in 1846, the American tonnage em
ployed in this trade was 71.722: the Spanish
35, 528; and the British 32,969. The total nmn
of vessels which entered that port during the
six months ending July Ist last was 1080, of a
tonnage of 364.933. and of these. 570, of a ton
nap? of 231.484, were American; 58.338 Span
ish. and 32,165 British. The French tonnage
has increased from 1761, in the first six months
of 1846. to 8269 for the same period in 1854.
and 23.233 (more than twq-thinfa ofthe British)
in 1855. In the tonnage of other nations—Rel
giau. Dutch, Danish, Bremen. Hamburg, and
others—there law been no material increase,

The Silver Lake Sea Serpent Sto
ry Again.
Tl estenlay, the Ist instant, the existence of a
monster ofthe fish or serpent species in the quiet
waters of Silver Lake, was established beyond
reasons' le doubt—if indeed there has been room
for doubt for a time past.
At about noon on Wednesday the monster
was seen by at least h?lf a dozen persons from
different points ot" view, from the upland adjoin
ing the lake. There were no boats out. VVor k
ing men on thetarm of Mr. A. Macomber, not
half a mile distant —two young men visiting at
Mr. M.’s on another part of the farm, a young
man named Merrill, of this village, from another
point, and part of M.'s family from the upper
window facing the lake. All saw lhe monster
apparently sunning himself on the surface ofthe
waler.
A description is impossible except of his move
ments. He moved and floundered about for ten
or fifteen minutes. The parties were from one
quarter to one-half a mile distant. The water
elsewhere on the lake was as smooth as glass,
and there could be no deception or optical delu
«.on in the vision of thq, parties.
All concu. in the statement that he is as large
round as a large log, and that 30 or 40 feet oi
him was visible.
The parties saw it unknown to each other.—
Some of them have no personal acquaintance,
and one or two are yet almost ready to disbelieve
their own sense rather than run counter to all
well established rules in regard to snakeolo
uy- , , .
For ourselues, we are forced to admit the tact
of the existence of a monster of the serpent spe
cies of immense pci»p rtions, in Silver Lake.—
We cannet escape the conviction and belief, un
less we disbelieve merely because we have not
seen.
We hope, however, to announce before long
that he has been captuied. Every effort is be
ing made to accompli.h that object. One word
more. We assert without fear ot contradiction,
that there is not a log in or on the waters ol Sil
ver Lake—that nothing has been placed there to
create the 8. rpent story—and that what is above
staled, and what is above stated, and what has
appeared in the Wyoming Times regarding a
serpent in Silver Lake has been related to us by
candid, honest and truthful men and women—
persons who have not flinched from testifying to
the facts as given to the public.
“O git out,” with your forty feet stories. He
may be an eel as large as a log, which log may
be as large as a piece of chalk.
Mrs, Tattle on a V isit.
There’s Mrs. Tattle, again, over at our next
door neighbor's. Just Oaten how the rattles oil
about her neighbors.
‘Who is Mrs. Pearce—io you know her
She called on me the other day, and said she was
col.ecting money for some benevolent cause
and asked me if I would not put down live dol,
lars. I just told her no. 1 had try own friends
to look after, and wouldn’t give a cent. She
told me with a dignified air, that she was
Mrs. Pearce. La me! who is Mrs. Pearce?
‘Not long ago 1 called on Mrs. Love, and she
didn’t return tny call for several week?. I only
went to see her, because Mrs. Goodnature said
she was a stranger, and I ought to call. 1 guess
she will return my call sooner the next time 1-
visit h«r, I'll be bound.
Who is Mrs. D., your next door neighbor?—
Do you know her 1 Oh, yes ! I believe she is a
good women. La! I am sure 1 wouldn t visit
her. Her husband is nothing but a mechan
ic.”
‘Home people think I must lie made of money
because my husband is a popular merchant, and
they are calling on me continually.
•Don’t you think I have been quite intimate
with Mrs. Fashion for the last two or three years
and the other day their daughter got married and
1 never knew anything about it; and then they
had the impudence, after it waa all over, to in
vite me to a private party. I guess I didn't go
however.
•How Ido hate those folks who think them
selves better than others because they happen to
have a little money.’
And on she went, slurring this one, and find
ing fault with that one. speaking in the most dis
respectful terms of those who were Welcome visi
tors of the lady to whom she was talking.
All the Mrs. Tattlers are not dead yet. These
are the ones who set themselves up as the pinks
of perfection, and with up turned eyes cry out.
‘La me ! there's much vice and corruption in the
world.'
•Didn't our minister rebuke those up-starts last
Sunday! I w.sh he would give us another ser
mon like that one. I’ve no patience with such
creatures.

St. Mary, from Fort Union, a distanne of 2.-
250 miles up the Missouri river, arrived at St
Louis on the 3d instant. She brought 2.25(1

out about seven weeks or two months, which,

to send you a bouquet by my black servant.”
He then repaired to his garret, took out his
blacking bottle, polished his face and hands, and
knocked at the lady’s door.
“ Here,” he said, “are some flowers sent by mas
ter to madame.”
! He spent the last five francs in the purchase.
Madame was so delighted with the present that
she presented a Zeus to the bearer.
That is a clear pocketing of three dollars aud
a lady’s favor into the bargain.
A medical writer says that the fail
ure of appetite in the summer is apt to be
considered as perse, an evil, to be dootored
and removed; while it is only a si„n of
mischief, itself. Instead, therefore of
resorting to stimulating condiments or
medicines to force an appetite, one should
live abstemiously for a few days, and as
the system works off the causes of disease,
a natural appetite will come back. In
those rare cases in which a failure of appe
tite depends on absolute deficiency of
food, a return to more generous diet
present the only hope of relief.

’so skilfully drawn pictures of the heart. There
are presages in the volume, equalling in stirring

ever read. No one will fi.il to read the book
through who rends the first chapter. It requires

Many reasons have induced the proprietor of

States North and West, but has received a pat

i this will place it within the reach of the poor, aa
, well as the rich.

During the session of our Legislature, one of
; the Edii . rs will be present to report the proceed
i mgs of that Body, loi the Daily Examiner —these
■ reports will be tianslericd to tile weekly and each
I subscriber to it, willthus have a complete history

A correspondent to furnish the proceedings of
C- ngress, and a New York correspondent, have
also liecn engaged. In short, every thing that
can reasonably he expected of a weekly paper,
will be laid before the suusenbers to the Exam
iner.
A large and fine assortment ol new type has
' been ordered, and is now on its way from New
I York. We hope to receive it in time tor our

I pearance of our Daily and Weekly be greatly

; will be added to both.
In adventuring upon this novi enterprise—one
