April Mh, 1856 49 tde T.ic Mate PtntcmlmhU, On Monday evening, Till inst., our people were entertain ed with a very interesting exhibition, by two Mutes, Messrs. Clark and Bryan, from Net* York. Nature seems to have, in a very great degree, supplied the want of hu man speech, by coaferriug the faculty of communicating l.y signs, looks and gestures. Many of their representa tions were highly amusing, and called forth loud ap plause and frequent cheering from the audience. Mr. Brougham, one of the performers, happened to the acci dent of getting his ancle sprained, which prevented his ap pearing on Monday evening. These gentlemen will re main with us a day or two longer, and all who are desirous of enjoying an hour's amusement, would do well to attend their Pantomimic Concerts. Municipal Election.

There is a good supply of money. Discounts are easier, but nothing done under six per cent. Consuls closed at 9U to 921 Who Pays the 000,000,0001 The wrong- a.d injustice of raising Revenue for the Government. Last year there was raised by the Govern ment of the United States from duties on im ported goods about sixty million of dollars. — Th * government got the money,—there is no doubt about that-somebody paid it—who was it ? ]y the last census of the United States the property of the whole country was estimated at about ten thousand millions of dollars—the sixty millions of dollars raised by the General Government was a tax of sixty cents on eveiy hundred dollars value of this property— sx thousand dollars on the million. William B. Astor of New York is aid to be worth ten millions of dollars—his fair share of this tax therefore wa- sixty thousand dollars. Gener al Cass is sad to b - worth over live millions of dollars —his share Would have been thirty thousand. Leroy 31. Wiley is said to be worth three milLous—his share was eighteen thousand Mr. Aiken of Souih Carolina is vaid to lie worth two millions—his share was twelve thousand Does any body believe that they have paid it! Don’t every body know that they have not paid a tittle of it ? But it has beeu paid by somebody. v\ ho has paid it ? It hus been paid by men of small means, and by men who get their bread by their daily toil. Lest it may be supposed these men Inay pay their portion, let us look a little further into the subject. We have said that Mr. As ter’s is sixty thousand dollars: let us see what amount of foreign goods he would have to con sume to pay that Assuming the average Uu tv to be twenty five per cent, it would require at first cost, $240,000 Expense of getting them here 10 per cent. “ s24,Out) Merchants’profits 10 per cent. 24,000 Duty 25 per cent. 60,000 34y,001) That the gentlemen should pay to the gov eminent their just share according to their property,it is necessary that Mr. Astor should consume annually three hundred aud ft.rty eight thousand dollars worth of foreign goods Gen. Cass one hundred and seventy-four thousand dollars; >lr. Wiley one hundred and four thousand four hundred; and Mr. Aiken sixty nine thousand six hunched. Now, suppose Mr. Astor to consume ten thousand dollars worth of foreign goods at tiist cost—-the duly wo .id be twenty live hundred dollafcs the amount of his taxes to the gov ernment — deduct this from 60,000 —the nmoniit he ought to pay—and you have 27,500 given to him by the labor ol the country, or rather taken from it by this iniquitous system of taxation. Persne the calculation upon the same basis,and it appears that Gen. Ca.-s pays hundred and fifty dollars instead of thirty thousand,leaving twenty eight thousand .seveu hundred and fifty to be paid for him Mr Wiley pays seven hundred and fifty dol Jars instead of eighteen thousand-leaving sev enteen thousand two hundred and titty to be paid for him. Mr. Aiken pays ssoo instead of $12,000 —being $11,500 to be paid for him. Nowhere are the following amounts that onght to be paid by the following gentlemen Mr Astor, $57,500 Gen. Cass, 28,950 Mr Wiley, 17,250 Mr Aiken, 11,500 Making in all, $115,500 These gentlemen ought to pay it. They do not. It is paid by somebody. It is literally and in spirit paid for them; and is in fact a contribution tt> iheiu to that amount. It is to be wondered at that men of large property s ouid accumulate rapidly, When the country is am nallv taxed such sums for their benefit ? Is there not a spirit of justice in the Country sufficiently strong to overthrow this iniquitous system ? We hope and believe there is. We know there is, if it can once lie brought before the people in its true ligut. Let us then have no more low tariff. Let the people move for a just system of taxation and the abolition of the Custom houses.— Comer Stone. Rather Amusing. The following amiable epistle appeared in a late number of the Boston Liberator, of which Garrison is the editor. The writer has a de cidedly elevated opinion of the Southern peo> pie generally, and particulaily of his traveling acquaintance, Edmonson. We suspect ‘Lud’ must have been experimenting on the old fel low’s sensibilities, and no doubt enjoyed his trepidation hugely: Augusta, Ga., Feb. 6th 1856. Friend Garrison: It is my misfortune to be once more in this slavery cursed region. Yes terday, in the cars, soon after leaving Macon for this place, it was reported that Banks was elected Speaker in Congress. I expressed my gratification, and was attacked by a vile scoundrel, whose name s. ascertained to be Edmonson, from Atlanta, Ga. He threatened my life, and with the most vallainous oaths that it was possible for the language of Billings gate to invent, swore that nothing but my age prevented his cutting my head off. A friend who sat near him exclaimed: ‘Kill the G—d d—dold Abolitionist ! Never mind his age ! Edmonson said he was suckled and nursed by a nigger when a child, and now be was a aigger man, and would like to murder every man, woman and child from any of the free States who dared to show their heads in Geor gia, His language was the most abusive and profane I ever heard. He left the cars at Mi lan for Milledgt vilie, and on leaving, threat ened to drag me to a tree, and make a nigger give me a hundred lash s. llis threat, how ever, he did noi fu Bill I bsteuod with calm ness to his abuse, but must own I felt fright ened when I saw him feel for a large knife, the handle of which I could see partly concealed beneath his vest. On his leaving, he left a poo; of tobacojni.ce not quite large enough to drown himself in. I think it would be impossible to find a more degraded, vile and polluted set of men on the lacs of the earth than can be met with in these slave States There are exceptions, but they are rare. The whites are more degrad ed than the blacks less polite, equally filthy, and more vulgar. Their common food is to bacco, their common drink whiskey, and their common language profanity If they can es cape the damnation cf Dell, I think the rest of mankind are safe. 1 am collecting many facts in reference to the accursed slave system, which I shall not fail to make known if my life is spared to New England Work on, dear friend ! This hor rible system must be abolished. Truth and justice demand it, and God will accomplish it. Yours ever, for the slave, A Hard Drinker— Tooke used to say that “Person would drink ink rather than not drink at all.” Indeed, he would drink any thing lie was sitting with a gentleman after dinner in the chambers of a mutual friend, a Templar, who was then ill and confined to bod A servant came into the room, sent thither by his master for a bottle of embrocation which was < n the chimney pice. “I drank it an hour ago, ” said Porson. When Ho pner the paint'r was residing in n cottage a few m.les from London, Porson one aftiTueon unexpectedly arrived there.— Toppner said that lie con'd not offer him dinner, as Mrs. 11. had got) to town and had carried v\ ith her tiie ke\ of the clo-et which contained the wine. Por on, however, declar ed that he would be contented with a mutton chop and beer from the next alehouse; and accordingly staid to dine During the evening Porson said, “I am quite certain that Mrs. tloppner keeps some nice bot'les for her pri vate drinking in her own bedroom; so pray, try if you *can lay your hands on it.“ His host assured him that rs V. had no such secret stores; but Porson in-isting that a search should be made, a bottle was at last discover ed in the lady’s apartment, to the supprisn of Hoppner and the joy of Porson, who soon finished its contents, pronouncing it to be the best gin he had tasted for a long time Next day Hoppner, somewhat out of temper, in formed his wife that Porson had drunk every drop of her concealed dfuui, “Drunk every drop of it!” cride she; ‘,rnV God! it was spir its of wit e fot* the lamp!” Transient Yorxfi Gentlmkx.—- -Girls be ware of transient young g* iris; never suffer the addresses o a stranger, recollect ilmt one good steady .farmt-r boy or mechanic is worth all the floating trash in the world. The allure ments of dandy jack, with a gold cha in about his neck a walking stick in his paw, some honest taylors coat on his back, and a brain less skull, can never make np the loss of a kind farther’s house, e good mother’s counsel, and the society of brothers and sisters: their affections lost while that of such a young man is lost at the wane of the honeymoon. ’Tis true Evanvillc Journal. Purchase of Silvfr Coin at the Mint.— The Director at the United Stales Mint at Philadelphia, has given notice that purchases of silver for coinage will be made on tlu* follow ing terras, payable in diver coins of the new issues. Five franc places at 99 cents; old Spanish dollars at 105 cents; Yexiean and South American doliars at 106 1-2 cents, half dollars of the United states coined before 18 87, an 52 1-4 cents; >crm m, Swedish, Danish, Norwegain and old French crowns at 114 cents each, German florins 42 1-2 cents; Prus ‘inn and. Hanoverian thalers at 72 cents; American plate, best manufacture, at 120 a i22 cents per ounce,and genuine British plate at 125 per ounce. AWo derful Mirror. The papers state that there was lat ely exhibited in Paris a huge concave mirror, an instrument of a start ling species of opticial magic. On standi g close to it, presents nothing but a monstrous dissection of your physiognomy •’n retire ing a couple of feet, it. gives your own face and figure in true proportion but reverst and the head downward. But retire slill farther, standing at the distant of five or six feet from the mirror, and behold, you see yourself not a reflection—it dose not strike you a a refiej tion—but your veritable self, standing in the middle part between you and the mirror ! The effect is almost appalling, from the idea it suggests of something supernatural—so start ling, indued, is the exhibition, that men pos sesed of the strongest never will shrink involun tarily at the first view. Radishes. —We are frequently taken tb task, for the war we have waged upon this worse than worthless vegetable. For fifteen ye>rs, we have not permitted olie to grow in our garden or to disgrace our table, and we have found the advantage Os pursuing this course, in the improved health of our fam ily. Man is the only animal that will eat n radish, either raw or cooked The sagacious hog will starve before he will eat the poisonous trash. Crude radishes are the most indigesti ble food that can be taken into the human stomach, independent of the acrid, piosonons substance they contain. But they do not hurt me, exclaims one, I can cat them with impu nity, and with a relish. But, dear reader, do you not have the headache,or a bad breath? — Have you no doctor’s bills to pay? A radish eaten in the spring may cause a fever in the fall. If any one doubts the poinsonous qual ities of radishes, let them be cut in slices, three or four’ and soak the slices in water for twelve hours, and taste the water. Asa watchman upon the horticultural watchtower v.e cannot commend the culture of a vegetable, that wo know to be injurious. Soil of the South. Dr. McLaue’s t'rklil'aUii Llvrr Pills In Texas. Travis co., Texas, June 12, 1854. Messrs. Fleming Brothers, Pittsburg, Pa.—Gentlemen : This is to certify, that my mother had been subject to peri odical attacks of sick headache for a great many years ; all the usual remedies failing to give relief, one of your pamphlets accidentally falling into her hands, she at once determined to try Dr. McLane’s Celebrated Liver Pills,and immediately procured a box, from the use of which she re ceived great benefit, and so long as she continued to use them, was entirely relieved. We have now been in Travis co., Texas, for the last four years, and not being able to procure these valuable Pills her attacks of sick headache have again returned—for some time back has been gradually getting worse—and has de-* termined me to send to you fora few boxes of Dr. McLane’s Celebrated Liver Pills. I herewith enclose you one dollar, for which you will please send me Pills per return mail.— Address Austin,Texas. I think you would do well to establish an agency at Aus tin ; the Pills are well known here, and would meet with ready sale. M. W. HENRY. s=.Persons will be careful to ask for DU.

None genuine without the signature of FLEMING BROS. ohitlaryT Departed this life at his residence in Mcriwhethcr county Ga. on the 14th day of March 1850, Abner Durham, Esq. in the 76 year of hisage; the deceased wasa native of Surry i county N. C. and in the 20th year of his age removed to j Jasper county in this State, he also resided in Putnam ! and Monroe counties, In 1827, he removed to Meriwether (then Troup county,) where lie continued to reside up to the time of hie death—being one of the early settlers in this county, the deceased was generally and extensively known as a man of strict integrity with all his dealings with his fellow man. For many years lie discharged the duties of Justice of the Peace in his district aud also the duties of Justice of the Inferior court for the county with that independence and probity, which was so eminently characteristic of him. in all the varied relations of life, possessing a strong vigorous independent mind, no power on earth could bias or control” his judgement when once ! deliberately formed. Born during the stiring times of the ; Revolution, his mind was deeply imbued with Republican | principles, as well as the principles of civil and religious j liberty, of which his whole iile was a practical illustration, j he was in faith and practice a Jeffersonian democrat in j true sense of that term, Devotedly attached to the Consti-1 tution of his country—he combatted Federalism and all | the other isms of the day, K~ow Nothingism included, up i to the day of his'death. His patriotism and love of coun try, was not merely that of naked profession, he was a sol : dicr in the war of 1812, and took an active part in main tabling the rights and liberties of his countrymen, in the tented field, in that-glorious struggle for the principles, he t so well loved and delighted to cherish throughout his ■ longlife. He was for many years an exemplary member of the Primitive Baptist church, and when the grim mes senger of death came to sumon him from earth and those j friends he loved so well, he was prepared for that solemn event. Death had no terror for him ; lie died as he had i lived, an honest man, the noblest work of God, and a Chris tian full of years, respected and honored by all who knew him ; but he has gone to his long home. We shall never more receive the warning voice of the old, faithful patriot and Christian in behalf of the constitution of his country, of his church, and the religion of his Saviour, in which he was a firm aud consistent believer. Let us not forget his warning counsels, aud strive to imitate his patriotism and his Christian virtues, and be prepared to meet him in that world which knoweth no evil. To his immediate family and relatives, his death is irreparable*and especially to the aged partner of his bosom, for he was an affectionate bus-1 band, kind parent, and humane master ; and though he ! can never return to them, yet by imitating his virtues, and ! obeying his precepts, they have the assurance that they I may go to him in that world of bliss, where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest. AN OLD FRIEND. Greenville, Ga., April, 1856. “Born into the Spirit World, Transplanted—a FI ower from Earth to Heaven.” Died on the 31st day of March last, little Mauy Russell, daughter of Mr. W. W and Mrs. Fannie R. Woodruff, aged 5 years, 3 months and 21 days. Only five short weeks ago, her parents wfere deprived of their little daughter Ella. Still we trust they “mourn not as those without hope ; ’ and though tire ties of affection have been torn, and the wound now bleeds afresh, though I they will iriiss the childish voices, the little footfalls, and , the tones, of mirth, still the knowledge that no tomb has closed over their loved ones, no sleep till a coming resnrrec-1 tion, is theirs, the knowledge that though unseen, they still live, and linger around the loted ones here will near them ! up when the heart is ready to sink, and the affections yearn for the treasures that are passed away. ‘'•TSu*. Uoorl Die Yi.isng.” She was a tender budding flower, A joyous, happy ereaturfi', With nought but truthfulness and love. Imprinted on each feature ; She was too pure to dwell on earth, A bright oasis here so cheer the sight, make glad the b*art, Os those so dear to her. Tistrae, she washer father's joy, To her his heart was given—, ’Tis well, he kuows his child’s not lost. But lives again in Heaven ! ’Tis true, she was her mother’s pride, Her life, her love,her soul, That her fond hopes were centered in, Her darling gifted girl. But ah, alas! “the good die young’’— Thus must it ever be— No more on earth her parents shall Their darling Mary see! They’d not forget, since she has gone, That onto Him Was given,’ A youthful spirit fitted for The brighter realms of Heaven. Stella.
