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. * aa “A Student Wv. •jublish this week, by special request, a com munication from “A Student,” With this, the dis cussion respecting the Cane presentation, in our col umns, will be closed. We would state that “A Stu dent” has authorized us to give his real name to any 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.” — mii 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.

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.

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. When she got there, she stood a minute a-looking at the stones which was put at each end of the grave, 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.” A Miss Hume, of Williamsburg, Indiana, was on trial last week at Indianapolis, on a charge of robbing the United States mail. frW°R.

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. Drs.

ADAM T. SCOTT, Tax Collector. Jan. 12 ts 1 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.

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 Af the most perfect things in the ° [we ever took into our h&nds ” and lor sai e a t the |iy|9*A small BOOK STORE.
