Our Hearts are Gladdened. How encouraging it i to a faithful laborer whose time, talents, and energies are sacrificed to amelio rating the condition of the human race, to learn that his labors are appreciated. “Our souls are gladden ed’’ when wo receive the happy assurances that the Crusader is welcomed to the firesides of our friends; that it hue become an idol, a fixture, in their house hold never to he discarded.

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.” n .>• Free Love. VV hat would become of some of onr country sweet hearts, were we, upon l>eing asked to define “Free tLovc”’ principles, to let off in trie langnago of the “third Heaven” enthusiast quoted below? Whv they would “evaporate” in hieconqhing *pa*modif, and upon “resuscitation” would visit onr “noggins _wtJJpx*lathumpian” “bastinadoes” for wearing un holy things at them.

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. “Gloiy enough for ’55 !” 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.” Our Book Table. foil oftltt fonth.— -Ill© January number, which commences anew volume* of this valuable Agricul tural and Horticultural .fonrnal, has been kid on our table.

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 hundred cpitomies of humanity, without seeing a single specimen of an old-fashioned, rod-cheeked, checked-apron child. —Ponton Atlas. shock of an earthquake was felt in Win chester, Ya., on the Bth inst.

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.

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.
