Our friend of the Savannah Georgian, in the issue of the 7th, gives, in an article headed “ The Rock of our Danger,” some wholesome and seasonable reflections upon ihe tendency of our public spirit and the dangers that threaten us from the unbridled license of politicians. We will add to what the Georgian has so well said by giving it as our opinion, that among the very worst signs of the times may be included the un- frequency of just such articles in our press as we here refer to, and the want of that honesty or nerve that should rebuke the reckless spirit of the day. Now-a-days you will hear men speak for a day at a time in Congress upon the expedient;!/ of a darling measure, but of its constitutionality, never. But wo ask our able cotemporary if we, the people of the Southern States, have not a great deal to answer for in the present pit iable condition of State dignity and power, as well as for the awful assumptions of the general Government and tliccentmlizing ten dency of things at Washington. We once had a Legislature in tGeorgia—so did Yir- ginia—that could make its mark. Wconce could command at home in our councils men of that stamp of mind that carried authori ty along with it and that mnde delinquents even in the Federal Capital quail. What now is thought, in that den of sturdy sin ners, of a remonstrance of ours?—what claims to respect do our State Legislatures have when 8tutc sovereignty has been slighted by aspirants, or been belittled by an advocacy weak or imprudent to tho lust degree ? In Georgia we have come to sueli a pass that, but for the lobby direction and support that Legislators received, we should find the wheels of government stand still. Once our Committee on the Republic could boldly canvass federal misconduct and hold dcr, striking my rear rank man right, in the chest. On we went. I could see the shell bursting over our heads and hear the grape and canister hissing through us. The cross ■— fire was murderous—a square of infantry and guns with grape ana canister pelting through us from the opposite heights. But I felt or feared nothing—a sort of wildness came over me, and 1 seemed to care not where I went or what I did. On ward still! The first line had retired, the guns were silenced, and, retiring behind a large horde of Cossacks, they formed a front, but would not stand our charge, but gallop ed through guns and everything. We cut down the gunner and literally took the whole lot. The Cossacks came out by twos and threes, and kept firing at us from their long pieces annoying us dreadfully. We looked anxiously around for support, when we per ceived what we considered the 17th Lancers a good distance in the rear of us. “Hurra, my boys,” sung our brave Colonel Douglas, “let’s give them another charge: the 17th will be up then, and we’ll take guns home with us.” “Come on, lads,” said Lord view his house, gorgeous rooms. gorgeous rooms, wnn tesseiiaieu noors ana , p] ace( j there when our State was in its in- i uMiumgi™ovcu 1 magnificent frescoed ceilings, and finally i as were , ln d the people of Mil- i “that which is good.” If the lawless and ; °f the Legislature was taken into the lower rooms, in one of; | e( in-eville have enjoyed its benefits for a vandal spirit that now runs riot in New ; ^ ln b Gen.

On Thursday night last, an anti-slavery lecture was delivered nt Tremont Temple, in Boston, at the close of which there was 11 general call for Senator Wilson, who came forward and spoke as follows: •• Mr. Chairman, Ladies aud Gentlemen : Her name was Phoebe Brown: Her cheeks were red, her hair was black.

I see also that the Deputy Sheriff of this county has caused the advertisements of his Sales for March next to be published in the Intelligencer. How is this? We in this part of the county don’t exactly understand it. The law requires the Sheriff’ and his Deputy to publish in the same paper.

Presently the steam whistled mournfully a dull groaning sound, the bell tolled lire, and “all hand.-” were called by the officers of tho deck, ai d tbe order given to lower the boats and run forward to the water base. In five minutes tlie boats were swung free and clear to the sea, and the water-pipe of the engine was playing upon sails and rigging deluging tlie decks with streams from the ocean. It was well done, showed efficient discipline in the crew, and gave us a feeling of safety and content which tended much to sound sleep afterwards.
