Come Kiss Me!!
■‘Men scorn to kiss among themselves,
* And scarce will kias a brother;
Women want to kiss so bad,
They smack and kiss each other.”
O! what a pleasure are the ladies compelled to
forego, by being denied the privilege of kissing the
boys, —kissing each other is too insipid. It is now
leap year, and we would cordially invite all of the
girls down to our office; we have two nice, pouting
lips, and we will put a little “eathamus tinctorious,”
mixed with a little “lasses,” on them, and you shall
be allowed to kiss them three times a-piece, and we
promise to make no resistance. Our lips are a little
rough, and lengthy,—long enough to cut off a chuch
a-luck bqj^-—but the longer they are, the better, for
then there is less danger of getting hit.
Leap Year.
The season has again returned, when the ladies
are permitted to throw aside the accustomed modes
ty of thejr sex, plead for “woman’s rights” and play
the lovei to their beaux ideal. New fledged Misses,
‘•'■bo have just stepped on “the carpet,” and w'ho
look forward to several periodical returns of this sea
son, ere they Veach that dark point where they must
assume the garb c f old maidenhood, may gratify
their romantic tastes by indulging in very innocent
flirtations. But those no longer rejoicing in the be
atific dreams of “sweet sixteen” had best improve
the blessed opportunity of winning for themselves
“a local habitation and a name.” Old Bachelors will
do well to be unusually shy, and cover their hearts
with an extra coat of mail, lest Hymen may mark
them for his own, and they may have to say, with
Benedick, “when I said I would die a bachelor, I
did not think I should live till I were married.” We
hope all the ladies who may feel disposed to perform
feats appropriate to the year, ma} r be eminently suc
cessful & their undertakings. *
Rev. N. TUI. Crawford.
W e learn from our next door neighbor, the Chris
tian Indejf, that Rev. Dr. Crawford has been elected
to a Chair in a Theological Seminary in Tennessee.
*We hope there is no probability of his acceptance,
as there are few events which could cause us deeper
regret than a dissolution of his connection with our
University. We do not suppose that Tennessee can
offer him a situation higher, either in point of honor
or usefulness, than that which he now fills with such
marked ability. *

who may feel themselves personally interested.
’ 4 Snow—Sleigh Riding.
After almost every phase of bad weather had been
endured by us, we were visited on the 11th inst, by
a heavy fall of snow and sleet. It accumulated to
the depth of five or six inches, which is almost un
precedented in this county. The opportunity for
sleigh-riding was eagerly seized by the young peo
ple of our place, both male and female. We, ‘individ
*ually7 had the pleasure, or more appropriately, the
displeasure, of a ‘ plank slide ’ on the snow. A great
club-footed “slecigl” stopped in front of our door,
and the passengers invited us to get aboard, —no
sooner said than done, —and we had gone but a short
distance before we slipped through one of the crevi
ces, and came near getting both legs broken, but,
fortunately, we received no mortal damage, and was
soon reinstated, but had gone a little farther when
we were “thunder-struck” in the eye with a ‘snow
ball.’ Wfe saw all the stars in the milky way, all
the planets, and some dozen rings round Saturn.—
We “give in” after that, and retired to doctor our
lame ocular organ, much discouraged at our first
adventures in sleigh-riding.
Homocide—Rum Shops.
The Chronicle & Sentinel gives a statement of an
altercation which took place in a “Bar Room,” in
Augusta, in which one of the party was killed, and
then makes the following asseveration :
“He (the murderer) was taken into custody, and
will, of course, he held to appear. It is a remarka
ble fact, that the rum-shops are the theatres of near
ly all the homocides in the land. There must be
something wrong in the system.’
We dare say there is some niggardly deformity in
th degrading system, and every honest man must
acknowledge it. Examine the record of hoinocides
and murders, and it will be found that ninety-eight of
every fattndred are plunged into the “dark wave” of
death,’ through the agency of this traffic. It is the
disorganizer of all the friendly relationships and so
cial compacts of the human family. It spreads the
dark film of corruption over the eyes of deluded man,
shutting sight the glories of Heaven. Its
hands are ever rcekng with the blood of innocent
mortals, and its foul slime besmearing their souls.—
Yea, it is a demon upon earth, feeding upon the “im
ages of God,” and “lining the shores of Hell with
damned souls like pebbles.”

a Wliy Not ?
“The great duty of legislation is to make both crim
inal and penal that which destroys the peace of so
ciety and the right and happiness of the people.—
Murder, theft, gambling, and a host of other things,
are punishable at law; why should it not make that
criminal also, which produces all these, more than
anything else? Public opinion has decided that the
liquor traffic is immoral, pernicious, and destructive.
Law* should accord with public opinion. The traffic
should, therefore, be prohibited—the public good re
quires it.”
Theiduty of legislation in regard to the liquor traf
fic, is here compressed into a nut-shell, by Rev. P.
Coombs, and his conclusion is as clear as a sunbeam
and as undeniable as the existence of God. Charge
arouritl this “stumper,” ye pot-house politicians and
pursy-bellied demagogues, and say its infringing on
the Constitution, and trampling upon the private
rights of the sacred domicill Remove the cause and

The President’s Message.
Whatever may be the political predelections or
party affiliations of an y true Southern .man, we ven
ture to say he will be unable to read the truly south
ern and patriotic Message of President Pierce without
experiencing a feeling of profound reverenee for the
man., For he has dared, in the hot-beds of Black Re
publicanism, to uphold the institutions of the South;
he has sacrificed his popularity and reputation
among his own countrymen, to maintain the Consti
tution in its purity, and legitimate sphere; he has
come out in open opposition to the arch-frends of ab
olitionism who are moving the Heavens and the earth
to trample the Constitution under their feet; and
his firm adherence to this great Instrument and bold
opposition to those dark hearted Republicans should
endear him to every Southern man. We find the
following remarks upon the Message in a communi
cation to the Savannah Daily Journal:
The strong, manly, noble message of Mr. Pearce,
should have been received by every national citizen
of this Republic, with one exulting burst of appro
val ; with one deep toned shout of, God be praised
throughout the Republic. In the South, every whis
per of party bitterness should have been hushed, as
it was spread upon the pages of our journals. No
Southern lips should have breathed the name of its
author but with deep feelings of gratitude and honor.
No Southern pen should have recorded a word in
reference to it, but in honest, manly commendation.
With one voice, from Mason and Dixon’s Line to the
Gulf of Mexico, and from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, the South should adopt it and make it their
political gospel.
I would say to the whole South. As one man let
us adopt this message as our platform, and resolve
ourselves into a Constitutional Party. For whilst
such a message as this can come to us from the
mountains of New Hampshire, no sectional line
divides the friends of the Constitution. And when
this great State paper is read in the Granite State,
her mountains and valleys will shout the name of
Franklin Pearce, —as they claim him—their own
patriot son. Nor will New Hampshire be alone in
her joy. I verily believe that wherever this Mess
age is read by the honest yeomanry of our country,
from the coast of Maine to the Rocky Mountains, it
will carry conviction with it—and that the big voice
of the people as it is lifted up on the side of the Con
stitution, will hush the wail of the whining Religion
ist, and the cry of the political vampire. By one
united front now, the lines of truth and justice will
be maintained unbroken. Let us present this front
before we return to the struggle for power and place.
Let the watchword of the people be, Pierce and the
Constitution —for the words ore synonemus now.—
Let the cry go up from valley to mountain, and be
re-echoed to the plains beyond, until every valley
shall send forth its rivulet, every mountain its stream,
and every plain its river—and the ava]anch of the
people shall overwhelm and crush the wild spirit of
fanaticism, and the damning machinations of Dema
gogues. M.

A Georgia Widow.
The folkmg anecdote erf a Georgia Widow is
copied from “Ifaawmanaf a wfcrk just issued'from
the press. The anecdote is related by a certain
Squire, who proceeds thus:
“OH!’’ says the Squire, “I wish I was married,
and well over it. I dread it powerful. I’d like to
marry a widow. I allers liked widows, since I
know’d one down in Georgia, that suited my ideas
adzaetty.
“About a week after her husband died, sho start
ed down to the grave-yard, whar they planted of
him, as she read theperscription onto his monument.

with an epitbed on ’em that the minister had writ
for her. Then she burst out, ‘Oh! boo!” says she:
‘Jones, he was the best of men. I remember how
the last time he eomc home, about a week ago, he
brought down from town some sugar and a little tea,
and some store-goods for me, and lots of little neces
saries, and a little painted hoss for Jeems, which
that blessed little child got his mouth all yaller w ith
sucking, of it; and then he kissed the children all
round, and took down that good old fiddle of his’n
and played up that good old tune:
“Rake her down, Sal, oh ! rang-dang diddle,
Oh ! i ang-dang-diddle, dang, dang, da!”
A Business Sketch of a Business Man.
We copy the following sketch of the life of a very
extraordinary man, from an editorial in N. Y Sun:
“As an illustration of business tact and talent, we
may point to the career of Professor Holloway, the
proprietor of the most popular medicines of the age.
The rise and progress of this extraordinary man
have bad no parallel during the present century.—
He has visited nearly every Court in Europe, and
obtained permissin for the sale of his preparations
from most of the crowned heads of the Old World.
The queens of Spain and Portugal, the kings of
Naples and Sardinia, granted him audiences; and in
St Petersburg, which city he visited a short time be
fore the commencement of the war, he was treated
with marked consideration by the late Czar and the
nobility.
“Travelling in an elegant private carriage, attend
ed by a courier, his equipage attracted attention in
the towns and villages through which he passed.—
The hotels where he lodged were besieged by per
sons of the first distinction, and the best society on
the continent courted his acquaintance.
“The subject of these remarks is unquestionably
an ambetious man, and his skill and enterprise have
placed him far in advance of all his predecessors and
contemporaries in the same profession. He stands
alone; and the fact that he can maintain his high
position despite the interested assaults of envy and
presumption, proves that his medicines have an in
trinsic value, which the world understands and ap
preciates.
“The sums expended in advertising by Professor
Holloway would be incredible if they were not au
thenticated by his hooks. His payments to the press
range from $150,000 to $200,000 per annum. There
is no printed language in which his advertisements
do not appear.
The ramifications of his business extend from the
local point—his vast establishment in the Strand,
London—over the whole face of the earth.
“This extraordinary man is now in this country —
in this city. The Tribune, in a just tribute to his
matchless enterprise, says, that having, like Alexan
der, subdued the Old World, he is now preparing
to conquer the New.
“Professor Holloway has not been tempted hither
by a thirst for gain—for his wealth is sufficient to
satisfy the most exigent worshipper of mammon—
but by a philanthropic desire to extend the benefit of
his medicines among a people whose character he
admires. Everybody is, of course, anxious to see
the greatest advertiser in the world. In a short pe
riod, the American reputation of Holloway's Pillsand
Ointment will rival their European fame.”

Holloway’s Pills, the most celebrated Rem
edy in the Union for the cure of diseases of the Liv
er and Stomach. Edmund Alga, of Cooperstown,
New York, was for the period of nineteen years a
complete misery to himself, and a burden to his
friends, he suffered so severely and continuously
from liver complaint, and a disordered stomach, that
he was constantly for weeks together confined to his
bed, the doctors did hitn no good, and he therefore
left off consulting them. Nine weeks ago he com
menced using Holloway’s Pills, and his wife called
last week at the store of Professor Holloway, to ac
knowledge most gratefully that her husband is quite
cured. Professor Holloway hopes that the thousand
others in the Union who have been benefitted will
now come forward.

DISSOLUTION.
THE FIRM of Wm. E. Walker & Cos. was
this day dissolved, by mutual consent.
The Carriage business will be continued by Wm.
E. & John E. Walker, under the firm and style of
W.g E. & J. E- Walker. The business of the old
fl'hn will be settled up by the new, and our old cus
tomers are earnestly solicited to come forward and
settle their accounts immediately, either by cash or
note, as it is actually necessary to a division of the
assets.
We shall be pleased to have them continue their
patronage, and promise to put up our work in a much
superior style, and sell it cheaper than it has been
done heretofore in the place. Repairing done at the
shortest notice and upon reasonable terms. All our
work warranted, with proper usage.

A GOOD SPECULATION!
1 OFFER FOR SALE, the valuable TRACT
of LAND, lying on Beaver-dam Creek, in Han
cock county, readily recognized as having recently
belonged to R. Burnley, Esq. It contains 1050 acres,
more or less, about 150 cleared, the rest in the •.% oods,
and I hazzard nothing in saying, that some of this
land is as good as any to be found in the coun-y.—
There are about 200 acres oak and hickory land, well
adapted to the growth of corn and cotton.
But to any’ one wishing to engage in the Lumber
business, this place offers rare inducements. There
is a good SAW MILL, with excellent water privileges
on the premises, and by a small outlay in fixing up
the dam, any one of industry may soon realize the
amount paid for the place. There are also, two sets
of Mill Stones, which is an inducement to any one
wishing to erect a Grist Mill. A good framed House
with-several Negro Cabins stand near by; for the ac
commodation of a miller and hands.
The market for lumber is good. The mill is two
miles from Powelton, ten from Sparta, and six from
Mayfield. Public roads pass by the the mill to each
of these places, which bring them in direct commu
nication. The route surveyed for the Hail Road from
Warrenton and Milledgeville is but a short distance
from the line of the land, and if it is built, will make
the tract almost invaluable. I wish to sell the whole
in a bo iy, but if desired, will sell in parcels to suit
purchasers. Several elfigible building sites, with
good Springs, make a division quite practicable.
As I am too far removed to make these lands avail
able, my residence being in the Southern portion of
the State, 1 am determined to sell, and I promise any
one in want of such a place, that by applying to me
early, at Perry, Ga., they shall have a bargain, eith
er for their own use or for speculation.

Notice to Trespassers.
IWARN any one against encroachments of ;Tny
kind upon my land, in Hancock county, as des
cribed above. The law will be applied in in
stance that comes to my knowledge.

VOLCANIC REPEATING PISTOLS.
THIS PISTOL can be discharged with greater
rapidity and certainty than any other Pistol
now in use. The following is an extract in relation
to them, taken from the New Haven Palladium:
*• Volcanic Repeating Pistol. —We have seen and
fired a pistol, recently invented and patented, which
hids fair to excel everything as yet offered in that
line to the public attention. It seems to combine all
that could be desired in such a weapon. Colt’s pis
tol, compared with it, seems like a distortion, or a
clumsy, uncouth and ridiculous affair for a fire-arm.
The Yolcrnic Pistol carries a minie or conical ball
in a rifle barrel, and will put it through a throe-inch
plonk at a distance of ninety rods. The receiving
tube will hold twelve ball cartridges, which may be
deposited in two seconds of time. The pistols may
be discharged thirty times in fifty seconds. It is so
! contrived that it is not liable to accidental discharge.
There is no priming, no caps, and, therefore, no dan
ger to the eyes from ignition near the breach. Neith
er is there any recoil so as to jar the arm or disturb
a sure aim. The whole construction is so simple as
not to get out of order even from long use. The pow
der and ball are enclosed in the same metalic cover,
sp that a person might swim a river with one of
J his belt without the slightest degree inji^ one
powder. In short, the weapon is in al l j,? ij ne that
