THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1868. Aaudnkl ZJme Klin* By reference to our advertising columns those in want of this very necessary article (lime) for building purposes, can find out where to get it. Messrs. Mackey & Sheats of Kingston, Geo., are Proprietors, and fill all orders with promptness and despatch. Their lime is said to be as good as any burnt in this country. Wheeler & Wilson's sewing Machines. At ihe special request of Messrs. Hotchkiss & Lane ion, we paid a visit to the Rooms of i hese t ntlemen yesterday, over the store of Messrs. Beach & Root, on Whitehall street. Wf -s v their Machines in operation and must say. - at in our judgment, they work admira bly. /heir machines are sold from $30 to £!05 .^cording to quality and finish. The adaptation of these machines to all sorts of work, from the finest Muslin to the coarsest negro cloth, is of itself a sufficient recommcn datiun. They design to make attheir Rooms, Shirts and Collars to order. Seams the same on lioth sides. A lady will go into private families and teach the use of the Machine, free of charee.

Pataula Circuit. IT * last issue of the Columbus Daily ' 'in.*3 contains a letter from the Hon. Francis H. one of Green county, to the Hon. Wm. A Tucker of Stewart. The constitution of the State of Georgia, prohibits any person, t v <>n, holding any office of profit for the time ueh person may he elected a member of the L rislature. Col. Tucker’s term as a Senator expires on the first of October 1859. The term of the present Judge yf the Pataula Cir cuit expires at the same time. Judge Cone gives it as his opinion, that Col. Tucker is eligible upon the ground that if elected, liis > f, V e as Judge does not take effect, until after !.: Senitorial term shall have expired. All this difficulty might have been avrided, by the nomination of some unincumbered man for the office of Judge. But we suppose that our Democratic brethren in the Pataula Cir cuit *are scarce of material out of which to manufacture candidates for the several public offices. If such be the fact we can help them out of the difficulty by establishing in that region a colony of patriotic office seekers, of which we have a superabundance in this sec tion. Instead of having to make one man fill two offices at the same time, we very often have two or three aspirants for one and the same office. We would he glad to help our friends of Pataula, if they need assitance in this par ticular. Mg). Cooper’* Ball Road Completed I Eiowah, Ga., Oct, 19th, 1868. To the Editor of the Cartersvillc Express : Dun Sib.—The Etowah Bail Road has this day been completed, and the trains are run ning in connection with the passenger trains of the W. & A. R. Road. This being an era in history, the event was distinguished by the f { have more th;in their ,,f thc firing of a salute, from ordinance made and cast at Etowah Foundry. Mr. L.

Morning guns will he fired till the celebration. Very respectfully yours, MARK A. COOPER, President E. R. R. [pf” Newspapers friendly to Georgia enter prise please copy. M. A. C., Pres’t E. R. R. We take pleasure in copying the above no tice. No man in upper Georgia, has contrib uted more than Maj. Cooper to the develop ment of the vast resources of that section.— For years past he has been engaged in the iron and milling business at Etowah, Cass Co., Ga. His works are situated some three or four miles from the line of the Western and Atlantic Rail Road. This has been a fretful source of expense to his enterprise from its very begin- ing. He has paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars, for the transportation of material and manufactures, from his establishment to the Rail Road. The completion of the Road, mentioned in the above notice, constitutes the dawn of a new era in the history of his works, and we congratulate him and his asso ciates upon the achievement of a work, which is to contribute so much to their convenience, as well as that of the patrons of their estab lishment.

The prisoners were to lie taken to the Penitentiary for safe keeping. It is under stood that Cobh’s case will go up to the Su preme Court, and that Jones’ trial will bepost- poned till the fall term of Fulton Superior Court. The Weather. For the last two days, we have had cool cloudy, rainy weather. The transition from dust intolerable, to mud in reasonable quan tities. was sudden and rather agreeable than otherwise. The great change in the temper ature of the air from sultriness to chilliness, is also indicative of approaching frost, which is so much desired in those localities in which the yellow fever is now prevailing. We may reasonably expect outlie winding up of the present wet spell, a heavy frost, which will put a quietus to the epidemic which has fo r months past been devastating some of our Southern cities. We may venture to congrat- ul ate our fellow citizens of the infected dis tricts upon the prospect of a speed}' return of health, peace and prosperity, which has for some time past been a stranger to their belov ed homes and firesides. The Main Trunk Rail Road. For a variety of reasons, which we shall not now repeat , we have been the friend and advocate of the above named Road. We have been influenced to this course by a general desire for the developement of the vast rc^ sources of southern and south-western Georgia regardless, so far as we are concerned of the pri vate and local advantages to accrue therefrom to any individual or particular section. Much controversy has arisen among the people who are immediately interested in this work, in re gard to its particular location. Those having control of this matter have made a selection of a route passing through Thomasville. This has given great dissatisfaction o a portion of onr fellow citzens who allege that the directors have not pursued the intent, and meaning of the charter in making the location. They have departed very considerably from direct line from the initial point to the Wes tern terminus thereby materially inerasing the original cost of the Road, as well as entailin; a perpetual additional expense in the workin, and repairs of the Road. A route through Early and the counties on that line, it is con tended, would have been much shorter, pene trating a section of the State equally fertiie with that through which the selected route it is to pass, and along which an amount of stock as great or greater could have lwen obtaine , than that which has been procured on the lower route. The State of Georgia has agreed to take a million of dollars in stock of this Road. Every citizen therefore is intcrcs ted in the welfare of the road, and has a right to lie heard in reference to all matter concern iug its management. An effort will lie made at the ensuing session of the Legislature to change the policy adopted by the Board of Directors of that Road, and we invite the at tention of our Senators and Representatives from this part of the State to this subject, and if a wrong has been perpetrated in the prose cution of this enterprise to apply the correct- live at once. Frose mill Poetry by n Lady. Tne above is the title of a neat little volume of 200 pages, well printed and neatly hound, liich Mr Wm. Kay, has laid upon our table. The authoress is a native Gerogian, and as such appeals to Georgians to sustain her, in her ef forts to add to the store of literature. The contents of this volume is a treasure of inesti mahle value. The style is easy and graceful. sentiment is tender and affecting, and the perusal of the work is well calculated to im prove the mental and moral feelings of the ailer. We give below a specimen, which is true sample of the articles with which the work abounds. The subject is “Local Attach ments.” and in this connection she speaks if the “EMIGRANTS FROM TUE EMERALD Isle.” Even the poor son of Erin, driven from his own green isle to seek in the land of the free an asylum from want and priestly tyranny, can yet look hack with “swelling heart and a tear-stained cheek” upon the receding cliffs of the Emerald Isle. In that degraded hut love- land his childhood was spent; and therein the quiet churchyard sleeps liis young wife— she who when perishing from hunger could still smile for liis sake. The emigrant ship glides swiftly over the waves, bearing him on to that land where there work for all, and bread enough too but who can blame him for vowing- “ I’ll ne’er forget old Ireland! ’ ’ And as he thinks of the magnificent forests of the New World, he ex claims: Meeting In Gwliunt. Below will lie found a notice for a Meeting at Lawrenceville, Gwinuet County, in refer ence to the Air-Line Raii Road. We find the notice in the Lawrencevillc News, and are grat ified to see that our friends in the county of Gwinnet are about to take this matter in hand All they have to do is to face the music, in the way of a liberal subscription for Stock, and the road will no doubt be carried by Law renceville. Air-Line Hall Road. Meeting. AH peroms who feel uu interest in the con tructioo of the Georgia Air-line Railroad, art l to meet at the Court House, in Law party spoils, and an undue control over the management of our political affaire. If we could believe that the croakers who are thus so vociferously crying out, “wolf! wolf!” were actuated by patriotic motives we should feel some respect for their officious intermeddling in other people’s business. But when we feel a consciousness, that motives of this kind have not the least imaginable thing to do with their course in this respect, we can hut consider their officiousness as obtrusive, uncalled for, and in the highest degree offensive to the candid, in telligent portion of the community. The veil with which they cover their hypocritical ben evolence for a party which they so heartily despise, is too transparent to hide from the most superficial observer their insidious de signs. They have exhausted every expedient which their ingenuity could devise, to convince the people that their principles and party poli cy were most conducive to the general welfare of the country. They have labored ‘ ‘in season and out of season,” to create the impression that Democracy was destructive of the rights of the people. In these “labors of love,” they have again and again most signally been de feated. Disaster upon disaster lias followed their political campaignings. The Democrat ic party has only been strengthened and more firmly united by their unscrupulous assaults. Accessions upon accessions of their choices material, have been made from their own ranks ; Democracy has grown, and flourished and prospered, while they as a party have dwin dled almost into utter insignificance in point of strength and numbers. They have become desperate. In their castings about to find some weapons of warfare to annoy their detested foe, they have seized upon the pretext which we mentioned in the commencement of this arti cle to produce discontent and strife among the Democratic party, and thus be able to divide anil conquer their formidable enemy. This attempt reflects as lit t le credit upon their judg ment as it does upon their patriotism. They certainly presume greatly upon the gullibility of the Democratic masses, when they attempt to instruct tin'in upon their rights and their duties as party men. The rank and file of the Democratic Party are not such fools, as to he ignorant of the elements of which the political organization to which they belong, is compo sed. The antecedents of our prominent lead ers were well known to ourselves long before we put them in their present positions. We did it of our own free will and accord, because we believed them honest, faithful and capable, and we are well pleased with our own selection. The Democratic Party does not exist merely to give certain favorites office. Its mission is to carry out certain great governmental principles upon which rests our political fabric. In choos ing agents to execute our designs in this be half, we are more controlled by our opinions of the capacity and fidelity of those whom we place in power, than by their peculiar views upon issues which have been obsolete for half a century. We have alluded to these consid erations time and again, and it is useless for us to attempt an elaboration of our views upon them at this particular time. We suggest to our kind hearted friends of the Know Nothing Order, that we are fully competent to manage our affairs without any assistance from them. We intend to do this in our own way. When we want an officer or an editor, we shall en deavor to exercise a sound discretion in ma king the selection, without troubling ourselves to inquire whether the individual we propose to put in position, iras an old line Whig, or an old line Democrat. We have mainly to do with the question, is our candidate a good, true, faithful and honest Democrat now ? not wheth er he was so ten or twenty years ago. Go on, gentlemen, “you labour for the meat tbatper- islicth.” Onr people need none of your sug gestions, your sympathies, or your advice. We look upon you as unsafe counsellors, and is such we can very well dispense with your services in this behalf. ‘‘Often in these grand old woods I’ll sit and shut my eyes, .lnd my heart will wander baek again To the spot where Mary lie?.’' Fine Domestic Jeans. We have been shown a piece of Domestic Jeans, presented to Mr. J. D. Lockhabt Sec- etary of the Atlanta Insurance Company, which is superior to anything of the kind we have ever seen. It is the manufacture of Mrs. W. S. Calloway, of Riceville Tennessee. It was exhibited at the late Fair in this place and received a premium in the shape of a hand some silver Tea Pot. Mrs. Calloway is one of the largest contributors to our State Fair. She presented the premium Joans to Maj. Mark A Cooper two years ago. Mrs. Calloway de serves great credit for her .skill in making Jeans, hut if she could only see us now, while penning this article, with a threadbare suit of store clothes, shivering under the effects of a cold, raw, rainy day, we have no doubt she would much prefer that we had been the re cipient of her bounty, than our well fed and well clad young bachelor friend, Mr. Lock hart. But we will say no more, lest we he considered envious. The Campbells are Coming. This favorite troupe numbering 18 perform ers, will give four of their unique entertain incuts at the Atheneum, commencing Wednes lay evening next. As will he seen by the Ad vertisement in another column. A cotempo rary of a late date lias the Allowing in refer ence to this troupe: Campbell Minstrels.—Another full and ex tremely fashionable audience, reminding one of the refreshing looking assemblies which graced the hall during the Thallierg & Vieux temps era, greeted this incomparable hand last night- The concert was more than usual ly excellent, and impressed those who heard it with a high idea of the vocal and instnimen tal abilities of the Troupe. Among the gems was the beautiful ballad of “Shells of Ocean," sung as only’Bidaux can sing it. Those who have a taste for sweet and plaintive melody wil" not grudge the time or money to listen to this cxqu&itm ael; as we heard it last night, we could al fancy that she soul of music was breathed *up- on the atmosphere.

Among the articles exhibited at the Fair during the last week, we ought not to omit to mention the Catawba Wine of Mr. Axt, speci mens of which were on the ground and duly tested by those appointed to discharge that agreeable task. The opinion of all was that Mr. Axt’s wine was superior to any of the im ported German wines, and the fact that first class wine could lie produced here in Georgia? was fully established by such specimens. Mr. Axt has a quantity of this delicious bev erage on sale at Mr. Muhlenhrink’sin our city. to %Piin.

YVliat Does Tills Mean 1 The Jefferson [Mo.] Examiner, publishes the following charge against Senator Douglas. We are not prepared with lights before us to determine upon their truth or falsity. Judge Douglas, can speak for himself. If the charge he true, they prove that the seeds of treason have been lurking in his bosom, long before his erratic flight from his party in Congress.— If false, it is his duty to make his vindication We publish them for what they are worth, as i fact of the practical history of the r passing events. 1st.—That Judge Douglas declared to prom inent Black Republicans in Washington City last winter, that his Kansas Nehiaska policy was designed by him, and would hare the effect to surround the slave States with free States, and thus chrush out slavery. 2d.—That Douglas declared that Senator Bell, of Tenn., was the only Southern member of Congress who understood him. He had a conversation with Senator Bell’ in which the latter said to Douglas, /The d d Southern fools don’t understand you ; I do. od.—That Senator Douglas avowed himself in favor of emancipation in Missouri, and said he hoped the movement in favor of emancipa tion would succeed. 4tli.—That Senator Douglas expressed the hope to these same Black Republicans that F. P. Blair, Jr., would succeed Senator Green in the United States Senate and voluntarily prom ised to use his efforts when the proper time came, to secure the election of Blair, in place of Green. 5th.—That he held meetings in his own house, in Washington City, under lock and key, witA prominent Black Republicans, last winter, who came at his own invitation, and to whom he made, in substance, these decla rations. These are some of the charges we are enable to make against Senator Douglas. The infor mation upon which we make them is, we re iterate, entirely reliable, and we cannot, there fore doubt their truth. Agricultural College. At the meeting of the Southern Central Ag ricultural Society, held in this place during the late Fair, a resolution was passed to ap point a committee to memorialize the Legisla ture of Geoigia. on the subject of establishing an Agricultural College at this place, with an experimental farm attached. We hope our fellow citizens will not permit tlus project to die in its infancy. Enterprises of this sort are very easy to he gotten up on paper, hut it takes labor anil money to give them a tangi ble existence. It has long been a misfortune to tlie Agriculture of Georgia, that our plant ers entertain a strong prejudice against what they denominate “Book Farming.” This has arisen in a great degree from the fact, that the first efforts at scientific farming have been made by men, who were wholly destitute of a knowledge of those rudiments of learning, which are indispensable to a successful prose cution of the business of agriculture upon sci entific principles. Destitute of this indispen sable requisite those who essayed to he pio neers in this great reform, lim e generally made signal failures. It is as much out of the ques tion, for a man at an advanced period of life, to undertake to pursue the profession of plant ing upon scientific principles successfully, as for such a one to enter the learned professions without in early life having laid the founda tion for such an undertaking; by acquiring a knowledge of those branches of learning which are a necessary pre-requisite to such pursuits. Hence the necessity of giving our young men the advantages of such an education as will qualify them for a successful prosecution of the business of hook farming. An institution designed and prepared for this specific purpose, is now a great desideratum in the educational wants of the people of Georgia. It lias long been an evil of a serious character, that our young men, who have hail the advantages of a liberal education, have been too much inclined to embark in the legal, medical or mercantile professions. A young man heretofore, has been, and even now is, considered as “burying Iffs talent,” who after passing through the for mula of a collegiate education settles down on a farm, and employs his time in making corn, cotton, peas, wheat, oats and potatoes. This ought not so to he. Place the business of ag riculture among the learned professions- -make it, in the public estimation, as it deserves to he the most honorable oi'all pursuits, and our catalogue of Doctors. Lawyers and Merchants, would he decimated. All these last named avocations are crowded to depletion—hence so many iliastrous' failures among this class of our citizens. The business of Agriculture in this country, never has and never can he overcrowded for the next two centuries. The policy of onr peiqffc should la* against the en couragement of what is termed the learned pro fession and in favor of the avocation of agri culture. Under this view of the subject, we cannot too earnestly insist upon tlie vigorous prosecution of the enterprise recom mended by to e Agricultural Society. The lo cation of such an institution at this place we consider highly appropriate. The health ac cessibility central position and growing im portance of Atlanta, are facts generally ad mitted. Added to all these, we are situated near the dividing line between the grain grow ing and cotton growing sections of our State, and our soil and our climate me adapted to the growth of a greater variety of the ;u ricultural productions of our State, than any other location north or south. Au experimen tal farm established here, could exemplify the cultivation of most of the articles which are raised on any of the farms in the South, MA respectfully invite the attention of tlie mem hers of the Legislature, now soon to convene to this important subject . We shall have in our own Senator and Representative, Judge W Iff taker and Dr. Westmoreland, able and efficient advocates of every enterprise connec ted with the interests of our city. Their action in this behalf at the last session of the Legis lature. has shown that they are not only able hut willing to serve us effectually in all mat ters in which our local interests are involved. We expect to he ahie to chronicle a good re port of their actings and doings at the ap proaching session. Success to their effort ways to advertise editorially the business of the different routes. For all sendees of this kind no pay is received. It is for the interest of the roads that such notices, should be made while, at the same time it is a convenience to the public. The acceptance of a pass under such an understanding of the motive of the roads in conferring it, involves no breach of editorial trust or duty to the public, and in no maimer obligates the editor to conceal or ex cuse any faults in the management of the pol- icy of the road. The subject is really one of considerable im portance, not only to the parties immediately concerned, hut to the public at large. If the free pass system induces the press to sacrifice its independence, it had better be abolished entirely, for it is essential to the safety of the traveling public that a close censorship should be exercised upon railway management. Ac cidents should he freely discussed ; if blame fairly attaches to employees or directors, there should he no concealment : and any influence which tends to interferfere with a fair expres sion of public opinion on such occasions is a serious evil. Our belief is that the great body of the editorial fraternity are above being in fluenced by a free pass, to the amount of be stowing unwarranted praise, or covering up a fault in the management of our railwaj-s. We do not believe that the editorial profession ride free over the roads as much as some very sensitive stockholders believe. So tar as onr knowledge extends, they certainly do not.— We further believe that a trip over any rail way by the editor of any respectable and well conduc ted paper, is of direct advantage to the interests of the company. But it by no means follows that everybody connected with anews- paper should ride free any more than every attache or employee of a hotel, steamboat or railway company should. Those men who have had long experience in railway manage ment know that the very smallest proportion of free passes are granted to newspaper editors, they know too that it is of advantage to have this class of men pass over their line. We know that it is of more advantage to the com panies in the long run than it is to the editors. Tlie courtesy of a free pass to a journal like ours is repaid four fold: perhaps not in a form of a puff of the line, but in tlie more substan tial form of experience gaiued in some new improvement in mechanical matters or in de tails of management, which our readers, most of them engaged in railway operation through out the country, get the benflt of. Tlie class of stockholders who make so great an outcry about free passes to editors are usually that most ignorant, of the wl - subject of railway management, and as ihey must open their mouths at the meet',, s. they choose this top ic because it is thei -dy • >ie t]-, \ can talk up on. When stockin'!dec- l„.ic not confidence to entrust the matter to the discretion of their officers, they should elect new ones. A mer. Railway Times. The Baltimore Democracy Prepaapig for Resistance.

Among the deaths announced by it is that of Brevet Lieut. Col. Francis Taylor, of the first regi ment of artillery. Tlie disease continued very severe at Browns ville, although growing milder. There were 35 deaths during the week. It was also pre vailing at Matamoras, and at Point Isabel. The collector of Customs (Col. Haralson) hail died of it. In Galveston, on the 13th acre were seven deaths, all of yellow fevc.. On the 14th there were only three deaths, hut of what dis- 'aosfisMoes not appear in the record before us.

He states that it commenced the season with a fund of 887,000, which, it was suppos ed, would he equal to the “emergency of an ordinary epidemic. ” He continues thus : An extraordinary prolongation of the epi demic has introduced to their care an influx of people from all parts of the Union, who have madly hastened among us. against all caution, to fill the places made vacant by the epidemic, or in confidence that all traces of disease would flisapj car in its wonted dura tion. The following from the Courier illustrates this : On Monday last a gentleman coming into the city from Osyka, found himself sitting vis- a-vis with a company of strangers in whom he became interested. On inquiry, he found the party consisted of four yonths from Kentucky, going to New' Orleans to seek their fortune. “ Are you not ataid of the fever?” said our friend. “We did not know the danger when we startei 1, ” was the reply. “I advise you,” said our friend, “to take the. return cars for Jackson, or you will doubt less soon he occupants of our grave yard.”— “We had rather die than go hack,” was the answer: They came.

In view of the large number who died during the week from causes not peculiar to an un healthy atmosphere there is no ground for discouragement in the aggregate mortality.— Still, the exhibit shows an unusual amount of sickness, and that it would he the part of pru dence in such of our citizens, as are absent and are not compelled by any emergency in their business affairs to return—especially those who are accustomed to spend their summers abroad, or at the North—to re main where they are for the present. To such there can be no security until after frost. We have received numer >us letters of late, from absent friends asking our advice as to the propriety of return ing to the city: their family physicians would be the safest counsellors on that point; hut, whatever our opinion may be worth, they have it above. In view of t-lie advanced state of the season, the day will certainly soon ar rive when they will be enabled to return to their homes and business without the slight est risk of life or health.—Sav. Republican. We are indebted to the kindness of a friend, says the Col. Daily Sun, for permission to make the following extract from a letter written by Maj. A. B. Ragan, U. 8. A., to a member of his family in tiffs State: Fort Vancouver, Washington Territory, ( September 7th, 1858. ) Tlie Mountain Buck brings news tiffs morn ing of an other engagement which a portion of Maj. Garnett’s command had within the Yakimahs. Lieutenant Crook with 60 men attacked a large party of Indians, killing six wounding an indefinite number, without the loss of a single man. Another party of Indi ans were heard of, and Capt. Fraser sent- after them, but they got notice of his movement and decamped in haste ; Capt. Fraser pursued them three days, hut finally lost tlieir trail and had to give up the pursuit. Maj Garnett thinks the liostiles arc now cleard out of the Simcoe and Yakimah county, and have made the best of their way to the Black Feet coun try in the Rocky Mountains and into the Brit ish possessions. Maj Garnett lias pushed for ward to Okcnagan, where he will probably form a junction with Col. Wright's command against the Spokans anil Pelloose, or else whip them out on his own account, should he not meet with Col. Wright. Nothing has been heard from Col. Wright since he crossed Snake River on the 24th lilt. Tlie presumption, therefore is, that the Indi ans have hurned the giasss to embarass and retard his movements anil retire to the moun tains. If he had had any engagement he would have sent an express with despatches to Gen. Clark at this place. I believe, after all the great demonstrations by the Indians, the whole tiling will turn out nothing more than a grand Indian hunt, a good man}' will, he caught in tlie chase, and the rest will be trail ed to their dens and holes in the mountains, early in the Spring and dragged out. (Signed.) A. B. RAGAN. Ladies Should Read Newspapers.—It is a great mistake in female education to keep a young lady’s time and attention devoted to only the fashionable literature of the day. If you would qualify her for conversation, you must give her something to talk about—give her education with tiffs actual world and its transpiring events. Urge her to reai 1 the news papers and become familiar with the present character and improvement of our race. His tory is of some importance : but the past world is dead, and we have nothing to do with it. Our thoughts and our concerns should be for the present world, to know what it is and im prove the condition of it . Let her have an in telligent opinion, and he able to sustain an in telligent conversation concerning the mental, moral, political and religious improvement of our times. Let the gilded annuals ami poems on the centre-table he kept a part of the time covered with weekly and daily journals. Let the whole family—men, women and children read the newspapers. A Wife’s Power.—The power of a wife for good or evil, is irresistable. Home must be the seat of happiness, or it must he forever un known. A good wife is to a man wisdom, courage, strength and endurance. A bad one is confusion, weakness, discomfiture and des pair. No condition is hopeless where tlie wife possesses thinness, decision and economy There is no outward prosperity which can counteract indolence, extravagance, anil folly at home. No spirit can long endure bad do mestic influence. Man is strong, his heart is not adamant. He delights in enterprise and ■ action ; but to sustain him he needs a tranquil mind, and a whole heart. He needs his moral force in the conflicts of the world. To recover his equanimity and composure, home must he to him a place of repose, of peace, of cheerful ness, of comfort: and liis soul renews it: strength again, and goes forth with fresh vig or to encounter the labor and troubles of life. But if at home he finds no rest, and is tlier met with had temper sullenness or gloom. -. is assailed by discontent or complaint, hop vanishes, and he sinks into despair. _ two of us Walked out. about a mile from tlie city, to his which is a short dis hway, does not ex- ou approach very near. A sloping lawn, enclosed by a plain fence, and nearly covered with forest trees, lies in front. The dwelling is of brick, two stories high, with a colonnade portico, flank ed by a wing on each side, ot the same higlit and materials. One of these side buildings contains the library, the other is used tor do mestic purposes. Mr. Buchanan's retinue, at Vi heatland con sists of a house-keeper, a female servant and a little boy; the latter came to the door to answer our call, and in a moment, before we hail time to enter, the President himself came out, and cordially greeting us, conducted us to the parlor. Heat once entered into a tree conversation, which he commenced by asking to the state of religion in the several places of our residence. Then followed a minute ac count of that peculiar inclination of his head, which has often been noticed by those who have attempted to describe him. ’ihe sub stance of the account is, that his eyes aie not males, one being short, the other long-sighted.—- ■phis he thinks was always the condition of Ins eyes, and occasioned, early in life, that later- nal curvature of his neck, which is a noticea ble feature of his portly physique. Nothing about this truly great man is more wonderful than the ease and simplicity of his manners in private life. He throws off all re serve and makes his visitor feel quite at home in his presence. While we sat there a rough laboring man walked in without a c<«it and sa luted the President, "Good morning, sir, ’ anil handed him some newspapers. The ‘rich brogue,’ betrayed the man's nationality. Mr. B. replied with a calm smile, -'Thank yra." took the papers and the man left. A more pleasing instance of tiffs freedom from ostentation and pride, was his manner at church on the preceding Sabbath. He walked from his residence, which must be two miles, as the church is in the opposite suburb of Lancaster, and came a little after the ser vice began. His feet were covered with dust, and the perspiration was standing on liis Ion - head. No stir was made in tlie congregation he quietly entered his own pew, and engaged in silent devotion. A psalm-book was handed to him, and he at once participated in the song if praise. He seemed greatly interested in the sermon, which was indeed worth} tlie at tention of kings and all others in authority, ;ls well as of all under authority. It was based on the passage, “almost thou persuadesl me to lie a Christian,” and beside, possessing extra ordinary merit as a piece of composition was delivered with eloquence and power. After church the President walked devout ly, anil entirely unattended, through the streets of Lancaster. Wliat stranger, looking upon that solitary pedestrian, apparently obli vious of self, and not expecting admiration, could have imagined that lie was the t’hiet Magistrate of tiffs mighty nation! Whatever judgment is formed ol' Mr. Buch anan’s public policy, or of liis political opin ions, there can he no question as to his purity of character, the humility in his deportment, and the sincerity of his religious prolessions.

Fatal Railroad Accident. We learn, says the Montgomery Advertiser of the 21st inst-., that on Saturday night last, as the day train of tlie Alabama and Florida Raii Roail was returning to Montgomery, while at one of the termini near Fort Deposit , a Geor gian, who evidently was intoxicated, got on the train, and was ordered off in consequence of having no money with which to pay liis fare. He afterwards clung on to tlie hind most car, and was again put off, and probably fell on the track, when the next train passed over him. The accident was not known until the arrival of the second train at the Mont gomery depot, when blood, matted hair, and a handkerchief were found on the cow-catcher. The next return train from Montgomery stop ped at the place w here the man was put off the previous train, and found that negroes had ta ken the corpse to Mount 'Willing Station. He was horribly mutilated—having both his legs and one aim cut off, and his head mashed. His name could not he learned. This is the first accident on the Alabama and Florida Rail Road, and one for which no blame can he attached to any of the employees of the Road. A Young and Handsome Widow Tried Tor Murder—Exciting scene in Court. The case of Martha Morgan, a very hand some young widow, charged with the murder of Alex’r Allen, a constable in Johnston coun ty, N. D:, was tried in Raleigh on tlie 8th inst : The charge was based upon the following circumstances : Some months since, Allen, toe constable, forcibly entered her abode and unlawfully levied on the effects of the scanty household, for the purpose of selling the same. She remonstrated and importuned him to de sist. Regardless of her entreaties, lie persisted in taking possession ot'her furniture, and added insult to injury, by heaping upon her a volley of abuse, which was but too well calculated to arouse toe sentiment, “if you have nature in you bear it not. ’ ’ Being without a protector, and feeling deeply aggrieved, in a moment of frenzy, she seized a shot gun and shot her jier- seeutor down. At nine o’clock the prisoner entered the courtroom, accompanied by two young and interesting children. She is evidently not over twenty years of age, and appeared greatly agi tated. Though much depressed, and very naturally, under such trying circumstances, the traces of beauty were quite apparent in her youthful countenance. On entering the room, she enlisted, the sympathy of the entire court, and after the evidence was adduced, no one apprehended her conviction. Oonsequent- lv, in a very short time, the jury came into 11 l . *11. — the court with a verdict of not guilty. The result was received by an immeifse concourse of visitors, who were impatiently awaiting the return of the jury, by one universal outburst of applause—the opinion of Judge Cain well to the contrary notwithstanding.

A Fatuee Murdered by ius Daughter.— An occurrence of a truly horrible nature trans pired in the town of Johnson, Mahoning coun ty, Ohio, a few days since, by which an aged and respectable gentleman named Robert Hamiltou lost his life.

A Husband Rewarded.—In France the So ciety for tlie Protection of Animals does not enjoy r that popular respect which it deserves, the small wits of the capital indulging in end less jokes at its expense. The last joke is to this effect : A countryman, ai med with an immense club, presents himself before tlie President of the Society, anil claims the first prize. He is ask ed to describe the act of humanity on which lie founds liis claim. “I saved the life of a wolf,” replied the <^nin- tryman. “I might easily have killed him with this bludgeon.” and he swings liis weap on in tlie air, to the intense discomfort of the President. “But where was this wolf?” inquires the latter, “wliat had he done to you “He had just devoured my wife.” is the rc- piy- Tlie President reflects an instant and then says. “My friend, I am of opinion that you have been sufficiently rewarded.” Ri-iiegailc Democrats Looking Y]>. We cannot conceive what the opposition press would do if it were not for renegade Dem ocrats. All tlieir stock in trade isnow derived from Foote. Forney and Douglas. Every Bro ken down Democrat staggers into the Douglas party just as worn out houses drag theif weary hones into hroonistraw fields, and nearly even- old Democratic hater favors toe “Little Giant,’ with a vain hope that a new party will be ger minuted through liis disaffection. Douglas, Forney and Foote are great men with tlie op position at present. They lick up the stale twaddle of these factious Democrats—in fact, they furnish all the arguments which the op position now use against the Administration. But the schemers and intriguers will all be vanquished bv the unconquerable Democracy. Judge Douglas will soon occupy the same po sition which Van Buren and other deserters sustain towards the party. His infanticide up on the Kansas-Nebraska bill has put him be yond the pale of all Democratic society. His attack upon the Droil Scott decision has wean ed from him every true Southern heart. No matter what may lx* the result of tiic approach ing election in Illinois, he is politically dead.

Every day, their liie long, they are accus tomed to read the newspaper, to find lault with its statements, its arrangements, its looks: to plume themselves upon tlie discovery of some roguish anil acrobatic type that gets into a frolic and stands upon its head ; or some word with a waste letter or two in it - but of the process by which the paper is made, of tlie myriads of motions and thousands of pieces necessary to its C' imposition, they know- little and think less. They imagine they discourse of a wonder, indeed, when they speak of the fair white carpet woven for thought to walk on. ot rln- rags that fluttered upon the hacks ot the Beg gar yesterday. But there is something more wonderful still. When we look at the hundred and titty-two little Boxes, somewhat sliaden with the touch of inky fingers, that compose the printers' case.’—noiseless except the clicking ot the ty ties, as one By one they take their place in t he grow ing line—we think we have found the marvel of the art. We think how many fancies in fragments there are in the boxes, how many atoms of poetry and eloquence the printer can make here and there, if he only lias a little chart to work by, how many facts in small handfuls, how much truth and chaos. Now he picks up the scattered elements un til he holds in liis hand a stanza of Gray's Elegy or a monody upon Grimes “all Button ed up before.” Now he “sets” a “puppy mis sing,” and now “Paradise Lost;” lie arrays a Bride in "small cars,” and a sonnet in "non pareil:” he announces that tlie languishing "live,” in one sentence—transposes the word and deplores the days that are few and "evil in the next. A poor jest ticks its w ay slowly into tin- printer’s hand like a clock just running down, and a strain of eloquence marches into line letter by letter. We fancy we can tell tlie difference by hearing of the ear hut perhaps not The types that told a wedding yesterday, announced a burial to-morrow—perhaps in tlie self-same letters. They arc elements to make a world of-- those types are—a world with something in it as lieantiful as spring, as rich as summer, as grand as autumn flowers that frost cannot w ilt fruit that shall ripen for all time. The newspaper has become log Book ot the age : it tells at wliat rate the world is run ning ; we cannot find our "reckoning with out it. True, the green grocer may build npa pound of candles in our last expressed thoughts. But it is only coming to base uses, as its letters have done times innumerable. We console ourselves by thinking that one can make of that newspaper what he cannot make of living oaks—a Bridge lor time—that lie can fling it over the charm ot the dead years anil walk safely Back upon the shadowy soa into the far Past. The singer shall not end liis song, nor the true soul be eloquent :uiy more. The realm of the Press is enchanted ground. Sometimes the editor has the happiness ot knowing that he lias defended the right, ex posed tlie wrong, protected the weak : that lie has given utterance to a sentiment that is not lost- -a sentiment that has cheered some body's solitary hour, made somebody happier, kindled a smile upon a sad lace, or hope oil a heavy heart: He may meet with that sentiment many years after it may have lost all traces of its pa ternity, but lie feels an affection lor it. He welcomes it as a long aBsi-nt child. He reads it as for the first time, and wonders il indeed he wrote it. for lie has changed since then. Perhaps lie could not give - utterance to tlie sentiment now- perhaps he would not ii ‘lie could. It seems like the former self calling to its parent, and there is something mournful in its tone. He begins to think—to remember why he wrote it—where his readers then, aud whither they had gone—wliat lie was then, and how lunch he had changed. So lie muses until he finds himself. ^wondering it that thought of liis will continue to float after he is dead, and whatever he is re.ill} looking upon something that will survive him. And then comes tlie sweet consciousness that there is nothing in the sentence that lie could wish unwritten—that it is a lietter part of him a shred from the garment of immortality lie shall leave behind him when lie joins the "in numerable caravan," and.lakes liis place in e silent halls of death.
