He was leiettseil on hit. in terposition of Mr. King, the American Consul at Bremen. MonU’ Uiiimiiiitr. 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 ti 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 •past. An exciting affair occurred on the sth inst. at Brown’s Hotel, in Wash ington An encounter took place at the dinner table between Ben McCul loch. the no t'd Texan Hunger, and a Mr. We.-t. a liwyer, from New Mex ico.

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.

France coming i to our suppoit might cause a diversion ! in our favour, hut then only by march* ! ing her army into Germany.” 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 j the joung Emperor of Austria is a recent illustration. The Emperor j seems to have behaved admirably on the occasion ; and so brave, it is to lie ! hoped, will dare to think for himself, I ami insist on the alia rs ot the nation i being henceforth conducted in a way j to inspire confidence—not tenor anil 1 fear.

But, however agreeable this may he to the soldiers, it is viewed with dtshke by the civilians —lor it implies an increase ol taxation already bunhensotne.

The (iiims, which repre sents the L’ltra-inonianisls, and, of 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.

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 The Pacific Railroad — Col. Plan. —A Washing on letter in the Charleston Coitrier ays: Col. ?->, j'uo>e out_wjfh a iVlowfi y, on the subject lof a railroad io llie Pacific. He ad liers to his plan —-the northern route — which, it practicable at all. will cost three hundred millions Meanwhile, 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 ; manner in which they have taken it. ! up. I have no doubt, they will carry it 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 . I hern, southern, and western railroads, tends to Memphis, as a central poirt The northern and eastern capitalists Were ben', originally, upon Col. Ben ton’s or some other northern route to the Pacific. But they have come, re luctantly, to consider the southern j route as the best, for the commerce of i the country. I Daring Attempt. —We learn from a ! responsible source that on Tuesday | 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 1 therefore, forcibly dragged off. when \ she drew a knife from her pocket and j stabbed him in the side. It is believed j ili.it ilie wound will prove fatal.— Bravo deed nd deserved retribution We have the names ot the two ladies in our possession.

The Office Seeking Swarm. —The President, in self defence, made his escape from Washington to Baltimore on Thursday night. Neither morning, evening, nor mid day has been his j The rush has been tremendous, and so j much beyond all precedent, that no j mortal man can stand it. i Hence the ! escape to Baltimore, where Mrs. Pierne. who has no heart/for the gai* ■ etics and bustle of the Canital, has re ; tnained for ten days, / 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. 1 will spare the readers further par ticulars. The seen** is easier imagin ed than disciibed. 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 terbury Pilgrims. Stothard appears 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.
