Wc had the pleasure of hearing Mr.
Johnson deliver a lecture Wednesday
evening last, on Professor Morris’ new
and improved system of English Gram
mar. The simplicity and efficacy of
this system of teaching the highly im
portant science of Grammar, is proveT
bial wherever it has been taught—
This system entirely does away with
most of the uhstru.se theories of tin;
old systems, and imparts it knowledge
to the student in twelve or fifteen days*
that is rarely acquired from Murray,
Kirkham, or Smith in as many months.
Professor Morris’ Grammar has been
approved of, and highly recommend
cd by Gov. Collier, of Alabama; lion.
John W. Jones, formerly of Georgia,
Mrs. Caroline Lee llentz, and other
distinguished persons, authors and
scholars.
Tie author is well known in Ala
bama, where his Grammar has met
with unbounded success. We have
witnessed his public examinations, of
large classes, when* universal satisfac
tion was given to patrons, and due
honor conceded.
Mr. Johnson will deliver a lecture
this evening, tit the Court House, and
wC endeavor to Horn a class in Lump-
Kill. I 1 is caching will not interfere
with the schools. Wherever it hits
been taught,teachers have universally
joined in iutrotlucing it into tit ir
school rooms, and have approved ol

Mr. Johnson is an accomplish! and
scholar, and sustains a high reputation
as a teacher We have no doubt but
that Mr. .1 Will more than accomplish
what he proposes.

BCt 3 We have no later cotton news
than we gave last week, front the
fact that the whole country is again
flooded wilt water, in consequence ol
which the mails have not come to hand
and we have failed to get our most
important exchanges. As far as we
can bear from much damage has been
to the railroads in this State and Ala
bama. which is very imich to he re
gretted when we consider the impor
tance o! these railroads in connexion
with the commercial interest of the
country. We learn through a private
source, that there are someone or two
hundred passengers lying over at. La-
Grange, in consequence of tin; dam
age done to the Montgomery A: West
Point rail toad. And we also learn,
in the same way ‘hat the cars have
tailed at Oglethorpe, for two days

An exciting affair occurred on the

It was itnnouuced by the steamei
before the yl/ricu, that the Montenegro
affair had!been sett ed, tlie Cabinet ol
Vienna having otil-manccuvred tha
of *t. Betershurgh ; but lau and more
i reliable information has invested the
; matter with serious gravity. The two
j Emperors, it vould seem, have a per
fect understanding oil the matter, and
the objctJK, it is stiid. is the immedi te,
or not very remote dismemberment ol
the Ottqninn empire. With a haugli
itv that argued a foregone
| conclusion, and. in anticipation ol an
abrupt, refusal, Austria has made large
! demandh on the Forte. I'ronouncing
1 the war a Montenegro a religious war,
1 the Em ieior indirectly forbids its be
ing pet listed in; and supposing the
Turkish troops to be led by Hungarian
officers, be insists on their dismissal.
But ihe! more serious matter is the
: surrender of-territory, the lands and
pons iiitlfcCed l>t
; tria in her trade with Dalmatia. The
j Czar has also a few grievances requi
| ring redress. The holy places at Je
liusiilem he -claims ‘or the Greek
Church ; and in Turkey in Europe, he
I claims the right to protect certain
j Christians, in Secvia, lie has bad his
emissaries feeling tiller opinion, and
sowing his principles.
This de.iign upon Turkey furnishes
| an apparent cue to the equivocal pol
-1 icy pursued by the Northern powers
towards Loris Napoleon. They ap
pealed “willing to ..omul yet afraid
lo strike.’’ in the hope possibly, that
| the liew Emperor would purchase
their favor by an assurance of neutral
j ity, or the promise of alliance; hut
N m'oi.eov, not seeing their drift, or
adopting a different policy, has put
himself in opposition tit Consiuniino
! pie, and sides with England in the in
tention i<f sustaining tlm Sultan. All
j that is known villi certainty points to
j a complication of affairs, and possibly
j a war. Interests are certainly adverse,
i Austria naturally desires the posses
sion of ‘Territories now clam ed by
‘Turkey; and the -Muscovite, true
| the instinct which constantly imp
; the Northern into the South, is iir .
tious of the possession of Constant, no
pie. The Czar wants more sea-rc • 1,
sunnier lands, and oceans exempt h oin
ice ; but France object to his pioxim
ity to Algiers, and Gieat Britain is re
solved to keep sale, the overload ioute
to India.
The O lonian empire, however, ap
pears lo be hastening raptdiy to de-
Miueiiim. It lias grown deciepit from
age and ffi cay ; i|je l in k of the pres
int day being now as ignorant and
fanatical as tint Turk of three ceiitu
j lies ago. I'll is state of things is at- j
t raet ing the attention of Great Britain.

De-poasm is frequently more in
| danger from lauaticism and insanity
! than from open violence when it pro
vokes an hostile spirit in a whole peo
ple. The prevalent opinion shapes
madness into insti llments of assassin
ation; and the attempt on the life ot

recent illustration. The Emperor

more distinct; and even the Church is
divided. The (iiims, which repre

course, advocates the cause of the
Bourbons, lias been denounced by •
ishops, who pay coyrt to the Empe
ror—Hie necessity ot’ the occasion re
minding them that the Gallican
Church had liberties which they them
selves had 100 long overlooked. Their
disapprobation, however, assumes the
i form of intolerance ; for they not only
denounce the. obnoxious journal hie
forbid every body to read it—the cler

Itinerant Preachers in California
Their Trials and Labors , —From a
number of Dr. Boring’s Christian Ob
server, published in Sun FiarrcisSfco, we
i egret to notice that the health of the
Doctor is on the decline, a-ndtbat here
after he will be able to issue his paper
only twice a month instead of weekly.
His numerous friends and acquaint
ances in this section -of the country
will read this intelligence with many
feelings of regret that one souseful in
nis church amtl in the cause of religion
| should be thus compelled to relinquish
j any portion es his labors. The paper
will, however, be continued regularly,
| on a firm and sure basis.
From its columns we extract the
j following paragraph, to show our
! readers nearer home the way in which
i missionaries and preachers are com
’ pelled to labor, in order to preach tlie
| gospel to the mass of the people of
I that faroff land. The editor says—
Those of our friends and brethren
I >** *V Atlantie. States, have aqd ***/
j have,
! the life of an itinerant preacher and
| his labors in Calilornia. It is hard for
them to conceive so as to
realize, it of traveling an extensive
j circuit on foot, with blankets and sad *
; die flags on the’ backhand preaching
in bar-rooms, gambling saloons, hotels,
post offices. Ac.; and yet these are
familiar facts with us. We have at
| this very time,a missionaries traveling
; on foot, climbing hills and mountains,
preaching the Word of Life to listen
j ing multitudes in almost every descrip
i tion of situation. They toil hard to
i reach their appointments, preach hard,
I sleep hard, and in many other respects
pass through what is little thought of
iby others. Such are the tacts in con
j ncction with itineracy in this country*,
| as to demand a firmness and patience
j of endurance which can only be found
|. resulting In m strong faith in God.-
j The present extraordinary winter is
j powerfully contributing to the already
j seemingly sufficient trials and hard
ships ol these men They have already
suffered much and must of necessity
suffer yet much more. II any men on :
earth need and deserve the sympathies
and prayers of the whole Church, these j
are they. Will not. the people of God, j
especially those of the other Stiites, j
bear them constantly before- the 1
Throne of Grace ? May God protect j
and sustain them ;md richly reward j
their labors.” wk t

I have distinct knowledg that a private
company organized in New York, will
commence on their own account, a
railroad from the Bay of Matagordo
to El Passo, and thence to San Diego.
Their route is I 250 miles Col Ben
ton's is 2,500 miles. I heir road will
j cost thirty-millions—Col. Benton’s will
co't two hundred millions—-but they
- assume its cost in their estimates, at j
one hundred and twenty-five millions.
Upon an equal amount of business,
their road will pay twenty dollars for ’
one dollar that Col. Benton’s road will
pay.
The country will be surpris'd at
the magnitude and boldness of the
; New York enterprise. But from the

through.
The scheme embraces a branch rail
j road to Arkansas, at the point where
it will meet the road designed, and
for which Congress has provided, by
a liberal grant to that State, from a
point opposite the mouth ot the Ohio,
and another branch to a point opposite
i Memphis. Ihe whole system of nor

Daring Attempt. —We learn from a

| evening last, two females residents of
Bryan county, while returning home
on horse-back, from Savannah, were
! accosted while crossing the Ogechee
Swamp, by a negro fellow, who drew
j a pistol and demanded the horse of
one of the females, with a threat that
j he would blow her brains out if she
did not comply. ‘The lady bravely re
fused to give up her horse, and was

A Cat Stor y'= -By a smoker.
Tne Cotton Plant relates a capital
cat story, the incidents of which are
said to have occurred between two of
the most angular, mercurial, dignified
Judges of the Circuit Court District
wherein the respectable town of Van
Buren. (Ark..) is situated.
1 came down with the Judge of the
4;h,’ who was to argue a case at Van
Buren court. Ho was a testy old
logy, nervous and impetuous. We
al I put up the ‘Freeman’s Hall and
Traveller’s Horne,’ as a small sign
board in front of a rather obscure
house announced. After the fatigues
of the day we all retired early—three
in the room, myself and the two Judg
es. Alter a long legal conversation
in the dark, each voice aiising from
is respective corner. a gradual
stillness came over the house and
room. I was suddenly started, by
hearing the discordant and disagreea
hie howhofa cat just under my bed.
1 heard the Judge of‘4th’start.
‘ Gracious— a cat*,’ e*ciu.i<gfd he-
There was another cry from the
other end oflhe room
* Another one',’ said the other awak
ened Judge. Then there was a gene
ral -shew—shew—-shewing,’ arid a
scampering over the floor.
I detest cats. I felt the perspira
tion on my brow, There was anoth
er ’mew.’ In the dimness of the room
1 could just perceive the ’Judge ol
the 4thV full figure arise stealthly
from its bed. At the same instant I
could clearly perceive tlie form of the
otln r Judge pass between myielfand
the window—pillow in hand. (‘Tlie
Judge of the 4th’ and also seized his
bolster.)
I saw at once that the two Judges
were simultaneously acting upon the
idea, that was. imitating a cat.
and getting the animals w ithin reach
to deal a furious blow upon poor to
by.
‘ Mew !’ said the Judge of the 4th.’
’ Mew !’ answered the other.
Then there was a tremendous mew
ing and howling of the real cats and
the imitators. It Was pitch dark. I
heard the cats trip out of the duor, and
it turned out lo be so, and the Judges
wen; left alone.
’ Mew ! mew !! mew !! !’
By this time they were evidently
approaching each oil;< r—each under
the impression that he Vv uM ieek his
Vengeance on the disiui hers of our
rest. Below I distinctly heard the
tramp of feet. It was the host who
aroused by tlie noise above was has
tening to the scene.
In the meanwhile the two irascible
old gentleman, with night cap on
head, and each brandishing a pillow,
were approaching nearer.
‘ Mew ! mew ! !’
There was a blow—another and
another, mingled with excited excla
mations.
At this crisis the host burst, into the
room ‘Mth lights. The real cause of
all this mischief had fled, and in their
stead, upon hands and knees fit the
middle of the room, were exposed the
Wrathful Judges.

Ladies Riding Sideways. —The hon
or ot’ the intr -duotion of riding side
ways by women in England, is attri
buted to Anna of Bohemia, consort of
Richard ]]. She it is was (according to
Stow) that originally showed the wo
men of this country how gracefully
and conveniently they might ride on
horseback sideways. Another old
historian enumerating the new fash
ions of Richard the Second’s rei.’n.
observes: “Likewise noble ladies
then used high heads, and corsets, and
robes with long trains, and seats on
side saddles on their horses, by the ex
ample of the respec’able queen Anna,
daughter ol the King of Bavaria, who
first introduced the custom into this
kingdom ; for before, women of every
rank rode as men.” Io the beau iful
illustrative picture of Chancer’s Can

to have committed an anachronism in
placing tlie most conspicuous fe mile
character of his fine compositions side
ways on her steed’ That the lady
should have been depicted riding in
the female fashion might, it. strikes us.
have been inferred, without any histo
rical research on the subject, from the
poet’s describing her as having on her
feet *• a pair of spur-sharpers.”
Curious Information.—ln making
some excavations on the sixteenth
section of the. Pacific Railroad, a day
or two since, the workmen came up
on some flint nodules ot a curious
shape. The are rounded much like a
melon, and may easily he supposed to
he a petrifacter of that fruit. A spe
cimen having been broken with a tol
erable smooth cleavage, disclosed a
series of what appeared to he rings,
and in the centre the appearance of
some ore looking like silver, ore.—
From one of them in its natural state
a poition of what might be mistaken
for an outer coat, had been removed,
much as if the stone had once been a
melon and been pe rifled after a part
of its rind had been p- aled away.—
The surface of these nodal's exhibit
ed numerous perfect impr i-smoiis made
by the leaves of plants, so distinctly
and so delicately traced as to produce
a very beautiful effect. The speci

ol miiiixiers were assembled for tlie
discussiou of difficult questions, and
among others it was asked bow the
command to “ pray without ceasing,”
could be complied with. Various
.suppositions were started, and at
length one of their number was ap- i
pointed to write an essay upon it. to
he read at the next monthly m-eting :
which, being overheard by a female
servant, she exclaimed:
“ M hat! a whole monili wanted fit I

” Why, sir. the more 1 have to do

Indeed ! Well, Mary, let u? know
how it is, for most people think other

The •'Slaughters made their first attack
upon Wyatt* R. Smith, Esq., sinking
at h/fn with a Bowie- knife. Failingj
(Tfiahefr attempt, they’ sTarted lofl
home, but meeting a gentlemaiM
named Lcverett, Justice of the Peacelp

pistols and told him they intended to
kill him. At tlilft moment Mr. Thom
as J. Bartlett interfered and attempt
ed to prevent the spilling of blood.—
file Slaughters then turned upon him,
and fired—the ball glazing one of his
cars. Several persons bad by this
time joined the parlies, -among whom J

dangerou-ly if not fatally wounded,
and the third brother cut to pieces
