Very respectfully,
Golden Marriages.
Mankind marry to gain wealth, to realize the
dreams of romantic, love, to increase their standing
and influence by family alliances, and sometimes ob
tain tlio object which they desire. But all these,
when found in their fullest perfection, do not, in, and
of themselves, constitute a Golden Marriage. None
of these possess the power of creating “a perfect
Heaven here on earth,” or of initiating the sonl into
the joys of unalloyed happiness. Sentimental poet
ry alxmt “love in a cottage,” or misery in palaces
inav, for a while, gratify the morbid imagination of i
youth, but is unsupported by testimony drawn from
the scenes of real life. The elements of a Golden
Marriage exist in the persons, and not in the circum
stances. The sickly sentimentalism of the school of
fashion does nought else than beget in the soul vain
expectations which life can never realize. Not less
erroneous are they who make (ho sum of human
happiness to consist in the possession of wealth,
w?+r>r£ ideas of a Golden Marriage are limited to the
acquirement of the glittering material. This notion
has obtained extensively, and governs the motives
and actions erf mankind to a lamentable extent. —
Thousands of beautiful victims are yearly sacrificed
at the shrine of Mnmmon, and resign their hope of
happiness to their love of wealth. Alas, that Mam
mon, “the least erect spirit that fell from Heaven, ’*
should be the presiding genius of an ordinance so
holy in its origin, in its nature so intimately connect- j
ed with human happiness and woe, m? matrimony. ;
It is throwing aside the richest jewel of man’s inher- j
itance from his Maker, tola? trampled under the mi- j
righteous feet of avarice and worldly ambition. It j
is purloining the golden vessels from the temple of.
*Jrod, to In- used in the worship of the Iwsest idols.
Such marriages have become so frequent, that a mar- I
riatre from other than mercenary motives, is almost j
unknown. Wit Has exhausted Its force, nndsarca-m !
its inveeliveis against a custom so opposed to reason j
and sound sense. But all has been in vain, and It is j
now tho chief characteristic folly of tho age. Could \
men enter tho inmost penetralia of the household, :
and observe the unhappiness, the misery, tho broken j
hearts which hide themselves in ontward show, they
would be awakened to tho ruinous consequences of
such a custom. They would lenrn that wealth alone
does not, cannot produce happiness. That the glit
tering gold of tho rich man is often
“Like moonlight o’er a troubled ea,
Brightening the storm it cannot calm.”
Onr idea of a Golden Marriage is far different fiom
this. It may bring wealth, it may bring poverty ;it
m.'ij- raise to honor, or degrade to shame ; bnt in all
cases, it produces peace and qnie-t contontraent.—
When a couple will mutually strive to please each
other, when imbned with a holy spirit of charity,
thev bear with each other’s infirmities, and nobly
strive to make home tho happiest spot of earth, it is
trulv a Golden Mnrriago. Tho spirits of Goodness,
Dove and Mercy arc reflected from their placid conn
'tenanccs, even as tho stars mirror their bright im
ages in ocean’s glassy waves. Each revolving year
increases their contentment and adds to their Joys.
And when Old Age shall have crowned their locks
with grey they may adopt the pathetic language of
the confiding Joan,
“John Anderson, my Jo John, we’ve seen onr bairns’
bairns,
And yet my dear John Anderson, I’m happy in yotrr
arms;
\nd so yon are in mine, John, I know you’ll ne’er
say no.
Though the days are gone that we have seen, John
Anderson my Jo.”

Milledgeville Correspondent.
We take pleasure in announcing to onr friends
that we will be favored with a weekly communica
tions from “Baldwin,” our valued correspondent at
Milledgeville. We will thus be enabled to lay be
fore our readers a synopsis of Legislative news.—
“Baldwin” will koep us thoroughly posted up with
all the movements of the day, and his letters cannot
fail to be both instructive and entertaining.
our Correspondent.
Mili.eixieville, Jan. 10, 1850.
I said to you that I would let you know once in a
while what the Legislature was doing, and any thing
else of interest about here. This is not the most in
viting place in the world, either to the o}’e or other
senses. The houses look old and dilapidated ; need
painting and repairing—have little appearance of
thrift or comfort. There arc a few good buildings.
The new Hotel is splendid and commodious—well
furnished—every thing as you would have it, except
the eating, which is only tolerable. They don’t
know how to cook. This has its advantages ; there
is no danger of contracting the gont, and it gives you
a good appetite for anything that is good.
Tho Capitol is a large gothic structure, looks well
—needs some repairs, by way of stopping leaks,
mending plastering, kc. On the whole, it is conve
n’ent and well suits tho purposes for which it nan
constructed. There is a bill before the Legislature
to add two wings, at an expense of one hundred
thousand dollars, Ido not think it will pass. The
Milledgeville people are very anxious about it. They
have fears that the Heat of Government may !>e yet
removed. If they can get a hundred thousand dol
lars expended on the Capitol, they think that will
settle it.
There whs no quorum in either Branch on Mon
day. Nothing was done. On Tuesday, quorums
were present, but owing to the meeting of the Dem
ocratic Convention, both Houses adjourned early.
Judge Cone introduced Bills in relation to the Lim
itation of Estate's, and for tho relief of the securities
of George P. Nickelson, late Tax Collector of Greene
county. The Bill provides that the securities shall
be relioved from the payment of the twenty per cent,
interest with which they are chargeable, upon pay
ing into the Treasury the amount of Nickelson’s de
fault. Judge Cone also introduced some resolutions
in relation to the election of Speaker by the House of
Representatives of the Crated States, and also in re
lation to the President’s Message. I will send them
to you so soon as I can get a r opy. They, however,
in the main, approve the Message. Nothing of in
terest was dono in the House. BALDWIN.
Judge Cone’s Bill.
We. are indebted to Hon. F.‘ H. Cone for a copy of
a Bill which he has lately introduced into our State
Legislature. The Bill is an important one, aiming
at a radical change in sever al features of our Consti
tution. Ajr it is a subject which does not come ex
actly within onr province, we forbear comment.
Another Star in the Galaxy,
The Cayuga Chief lets off the following soul
stirring glorification on the event of Queen Victoria’s
sanctioning the Prohibitory Law in the prov iru-ial
province :
“New Brunswick swings into line, vrit.li the Maine
Liw flag streaming from the mast. Queen Victoria
sanctions the work ot prohibition in this province.—-
An order in council allows the “act to prevent tho
Importation, Manufacture and traffic in Intoxicating
Liquors,” passed at the last session of the Provincial
Legislature, and enjoins njx>n all the officers whose
dntiei; pertain thereto, a rigid enforcement of the
statute.
“The iron has been driven home this time. The
importation is prohibited h well as the manufac
ture! and no pottifogging Nick Hills or rnm-drink
: ing judges can block tho march of tho law. It is
backed by the power of tho hoivie government. Tho
law went into effect at the commencement of this
month.

Sir John Franklin’s Grave Found.
| It will be recollected that during the last winter
fin expedition was fitted ont by the Hudson’s Bay
Company to search for information or relics of Sir
John Franklin’s party. It seems that the expedition
has been successful. A party started on the 7th of
February, reached Fort Chipurgnn at the head of
Luke Hthahasca, on tho 3th of March. There they
remained nntil the 2flth of May, making preparations
to pursue their journey. ‘They reached the Arctic
Ocean on tho 80th of July. A dispatch from St.
Paul, dated December l‘lth says:
“Mr. Stewart arrived from Red River fast even ng,
on his way to Canada, hearing dispatches for Sir Geo.
Simpson, containing information of tho discovery of
the point where Sir John and his party perished. It
was on the coast opposite Montreal Island. Their
bones lie bnried in tho sand within an extent of
twelvo miles. This is tho fifth winter since they per
ished, and the drifting sands of that barren region,
being in latitude 68 deg. north, havo piled in succes
sive layers on the bones of these noble and ill-fated
men. Mr. S. describes the region as being dreary in
the extremo ; not a blade of grass, not a stick of tim
ber mot the eye. No game of any kind could be
found. JIo was informed by the Esquimaux that
they had reached the spot jnstin time to sec the last
man die of hunger, who was leaning against some
object when discovered. He was too far gone to be
saved. Mr. B. has brought homo (ho remains of a
boat, having the narno of Sir John Franklin en it, a
hammer, kettles, part of a bine flag, and othor arti
cles belonging to tho unfortunate vessel.”

Ths Bloom of Ags.
A good woman never grows old. Years may pass
over her head, but if benevolence and virtue dwell
in her heart, she is as cheerful as when tin* spring of
life first opened to her view. When we look upon
a good woman, wo never think of her age ; she looks
as charming as when the rose of youth first bloom
ed on her cheek. That rose has not faded yet; it
will never fade. In her neighborhood she is the
friend and benefactor. Who does not respect the
woman who has passed her days in acts of kindness
and mercy? Wc repeat, such a woman cannot grow*
old. She will always be fresh and buoyant in spir
its, and active in humble deeds of mercy and benev
olence. If the young lady desires to retain the bloom
of beauty and youth, let tier not yield to the sway of
fashion and folly; let her love truth and virtue and
to the close of hey file she will retain tho.-.e feelings
which now make life appear a garden *.f sweets- —
ever fresh and ever new.
Dress.
Butchers, usually kill their victims before dressing
them. Mothers frequently dress before killing them.
VYe noticed an innocent little girl of about live years,
in the street yesterday, dressed and pinched within
an inch-of her life. For health and comfort, she
might as well have been in tho embrace of a young
anaconda. But though the pattern was scant, it was
a love of a pattern, and Use little creature wore a but
terfly on her head, and of course it was a!! right, and
she was a darling, flow would one manage to fiawe
a game of romps, do vou think, with snc’i an anato
my of silks, lace and ribbons? One might as well
attempt to romp with a fancy show case, i hey have
passed a law, and a very good one it is, in protect
quails. We want another; a law to proteetehiklrcn.
If they arc afraid tho race ot quails will be destroy
ed, what are we to say of children ? Why, then?
are places in this; land of ours, where one can see five

single specimen of an old-fashioned, rod-cheeked,

P BLACKWOOD’S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE, Xory.,
Tlie great and important events—Religious, Polit
ical, and Military—now agitating the nations of the
Old World, give to these Publications an interest and
value they never before possessed. They occupy a
middle ground between (be hastily written news
items, crude speculations, and flying rumors of the
n wspapers, and tho ponderous Tome of tho histori
an, written long after the living interests in the facts
he records shah have passed away. The progress of,
the war in the East occupies a large space in their
pages. Every movement is closely criticised, wheth
er of friend or foe, and ail short-coinings fearlessly
pointed out. The letters from the Crimea and from
the Baltic, in Blackwood’s Magazine, from two of its
most popular conti ibutors, give a more intelligible
and rehablo account _f the great beligerents than can
elsewhere be found.
These Periodicals ably represent the three great
political parties of Great Britain—Whig, Tory and
Radical —but politics forms only one feature of their
character. As Organs of tho most profound writers
on science, literature, morality and religion, they
stand, as they have ever stood, unrivalled in the world
of letters, being considered indispensable to the schol
ar and the professional man, while to the intelligent
reader of every class, they furnish a more correct and
satisfactoi y record of the current literature of the day,
throughout the world, than can be possibly obtained
from any other source.
EARLY COPIES.
The receipt of adcance thefts from tho British pub
lishers gives additional value to these re-prints; espe
cially during the present exciting state of European
affairs, inasmuch as they can now be placed in tho
hands of subscribers about as soon as the original
editions.

A GOOD SPECULATION!
I” OFFER FOH SALE, th > 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 die woods,
and I hazzard nothing in saying, that some of this
landlslis good as any to be found in the county.—
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 8 \W MILL, with excellent v. ater privileges
on the premises, arid by a suntil outlay in fixing up
the dam, any one of industry may soon realize tho
amount paid for the place. There are also, two sets
of Mill F tones, which is an inducement to any one
wishing to erect a Grist Mill. A good framed House
with several Negro Cabins stand nearby, 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 (be mill to each
of these places, which bring them in direct commu
nication. Tho route surveyed for the Rail Road from
Warrenton and Milledgeville is but a short distance
from the lino of the land, and ifit is built, will make
tho tract almost invaluable. 1 wish to sell tho whole
in a bo ly, but if desired, will sell in parcels to suit
purchasers. Several elligible building sites, with
good Springs, make a division quite practicable.
As 1 am too far re . oved to make those lands avail
able, m v residence being in tho Southern portion of
the State, lam determined to sell, ands promise any
one in want of such a place, that by applying to mo
earlv, at Perry, Ga., they shall have a bargain, eith
er for their own uso or for speculation.
