A Mania for Marrying.
Marrying in our enimnmiily, this season, has ival-
Iv had the appearance of an epidemic. At every
twilight is heard the knell of some unfortunate crea
ture departing tkis life of “single blessedness.” The
“two clouds” are mingled into one, ami lloat on, —
some “limp” on, —together. As an evidence of the
prevalence of the mania, the marriage Licenses have
given out; whereby wc have received a “job;”
hurrah for us—we have been ordered to strike off a
lot of Licenses.
The times are truly alarming! We are almost
frightened into a “barrel,” for fear someone will
“marry us before we are aware of it. The prime cause
of such a congeniality of souls we are unable to ci
pher out. If it is the fruits of Leap Year, and should
someone, —as we fear, really,—hitch herself on to
us before we know it, we shall forever hereafter veto
the rc-appearance of Leap Year; for as sure as it
conies again, some woman will attempt to deprive
us of our wife, and then there will certainly be a
“rumpus” in my family, and above all things in the
world, deliver us from attempting to separate two
females bent on the destruction of each other.
Avoid Slang Words.
There tw no w|t, says the author of the behavior
book, “in a lady to say ‘snooze,’ instead of nap—in
calling pantaloons ‘pants,’ or gentlemen ‘gents’—in
saying of a man whose dress is old, that he looks
‘seedy’—and in alluding to an amusing anecdote, or
a diverting incident, to say that it is “rich.” All
slang words are detestable from the lips of ladies. —
We are always sorry to hear a young lady saj’ such
a word as “polking,” when she tells of having engag
ed in a certain dance, too fashionable not long since,
but happily, now is going out, and almost banished
from the best society. To her honor be it remem
bered, Queen Victoria has prohibited the Polka be
ing danced in her presence. llow can a genteel girl
say, “last night I was polking with Mr. licll!” or
“Mr. fope asked me to polk with him.” Its coarse
and ill-sounding name is worthy of the fanee.
We have little tolerance for young ladies, who,
having in reality neither wit nor humor, set up for
both, and have nothing of the right stock to go upon,
substitute coarseness and impertinence (not to say
impudence) and try to excite laughtei, and attract
the attention of gentlemen, by talking slang. Where ]’
do they pick it up? From low newspapers or from !
vulgar books. Surely not from low companions.— !
We have hoard of one of those ladies/ when her col- i
lar chanced to be pinned avi ry, say that it was pin- j
ned on drunk—also, that her bonnet was drunk, j
meaning crooked on her head. When disconcerted, i
she was floored. When submitting to a thing umvil-1
lingly, she was brought to the scratch. Sometimes, j
“she did things on the sly.” She talked of a certain ;
great vocalist “singing like a beast.” She believed j
it very smart and piquant to us these vile oxpres- i
sions. It is true, when at parties, she always had j
half a dozen gentlemen about her, their curiosity be- i
ing excited as to what she would say next. And yet
she was a woman of many good qualities; and once
boasted of having always lived in society.
The above, which we clip from the Ladies Paper,
strikes off, in an admirable manner, one class of so
ciety. Persons of either sex who are so unfortunate
as to excite attention or provoke a laugh by (be use
of an awkward or uncouth expression, seldom fail in
disgusting every one of chaste and correct taste.—
Wit, like-individuals, always appear to best advant
age in a decent garb. Clothed in the coarse dress of
bad orthography and grammatical blunders, it loses
all of its beauty and elegance. Such wit may appear
well frern a clown on the stage, but is utterly inap
propriate amid the circles of refined society. Per
sons; who set themselves up for imitators of Mrs. Mal
aprep, frequently display the ignorance, but seldom
gain the notoriety of that imaginary character. Such
low, vulgar witicisius proceed with very bad grace
from a lady’s lips. One such expression is enough
to destroy many a bright illusion respecting heaven
ly essences in female mould. *
Whisky, the Demon in Cities.
In our cities, the great sesspools of iniquity, there
: s one chief disorganize!*. When the curtain of night,
-which hides the rankling corruptions of mortality
from human gaze, is spread over them, then are
deeds committed which would tinge the cheek of
Hell’s arch-fiend, and the root of all these outrages
upon society and violations of the peace of the com
munity, is that hated tempter called Ram. As an
evidence, we take a short extract from the proceed
ings of a Mayor’s Court, and this same routine is to
be gone through with every morning. The follow
. ing is from the Savannah Daily Journal;
M AVOH’s COURT.

From our Correspondent.
Mru.EDGEVfLLE, Jan. 23, 1850.
Since the Democratic Convention adjourned, the
Legislature have been very industrious. In the
House, the Bill to repeal the Act prescribing the
hours of labor in Factories was lost, after a long and
able discussion. Ihe Bill appropriating ten thou
sand dollars to each of the Medical Colleges in At
lanta and Savannah, was lost.
In the Senate, on Tuesday, Judge Cone introduced
some Resolutions, a copy of which I send you. They
meet with the approbation of the whole of the Amer
ican Party, and a large number of the Democrats.—
The only objection made by the Democrats s to the
second resolution. Thej r say it is a reflection upon
those Democrats who have voted for Richardson. —
I cannot see it. The vote on the previous question
indicated the friends of the Resolutions. Every mem
ber (it is believed) who voted for the previous ques
tion, will vote for the Resolutions—and this includes
every member of the American Party but two. The
resolutions will be taken up for final action in a day
or two. Gibson, of Polk, has introduced some reso
lutions, but I think they are not very acceptable
to his Party. They recommend Pierce for the next
President, and this don’t suit the New Recruits , as
they are called.
Judge Cone’s Bill, regulating the impanneling Ju
ries in Criminal cases was lost by two votes, but was
afterwards reconsidered, and I think will pass. It
simplifies trials in criminal cases. Does away with
trials. In addition to the questions now propounded
to Jurors, the following is added, “Is your mind per
fectly impartial between the State and the accused?”
If he answers the question in such a way as to ren
der him competent, no other question is to be put to
him, nor any other inquiry to be had—but he is to
be one of the Jury. This will render it easy in all
cases to get a Jury, and very much speed the ad
ministration of justice. The Bill was mainly oppos
ed by the Lawyers. Peeples, Murphy, Gibson, and
others took a very.active part against it.
There arc a large number of Lawyers in the Sen
ate, and there can be no greater evil, than the Jack
Legs of that profession.
Judge Cone’s Bill changing the Constitution in re
lation to the Judiciary was passed by a large majori
ty. It provides that the Judges of the Supreme
Court shall be elected by the People—that it shall
be held at such places, or place, as the Legislature
may prescribe —that the Supreme Courts shall have
jurisdiction in all matters exceeding thirty dollars—•
abolishes the Inferior Courts—authorizes the Legis
lature to organize criminal Courts in any of the coun
ties —organizes a county Court in every county- —to
have jurisdiction in all civil cases in relation to con
tracts, over roads, bridges, ferries and all other coun
ty matters—to have jurisdiction over all offences
committed by white persons when the punishment
is not death or confinement in penitentiary—and
over all offences committed by slaves, and it is made
lawful for the Legislature to vest the jurisdiction of
the Courts of Ordinary of any county, in the county
j Court. It has one Judge and County Attorney,
j elected by the people of the county. The Bill is very
popular, and meets with general favor.
Judge Cone’s Bill for reducing the members of the
| Legislature was almost all lost. The only part saved
i was making the Sessions annual. The Bill reduced
! the Senate to thirty-three, and the House to one
j hundred and twelve, thus cutting off one hundred
r and sixteen. There was a very decided majority
against reduction in any shape. It seemed tome
that many of them were thinking, “If this Bill pass
j es l never shall get back here again!”
The very important Bill limiting the time in which
suits arc to be brought was passed by a very large
majority, with an amendment—placing the State on
the same footing as individuals. The amendment
was introduced by Judge Cone, and sustained with
ability by him, and adopted by a large majority.
Yesterday was taken up with the Bill granting aid
to the Marietta Military Institute, and is still under
consideration. The Senate is much divided about it.
Some arc against giving anything, some for a great
deal, and some for a little. The Bill elicited much
debate, and took a wide range, and if you had just
dropped into the .Senate, you would have supposed
that we were on the eve of a most formidable war,
and that the Institute would enable us to come out
of it, not only victorious, but with laurels and glo
ry, and triumph, and all that sort of thing. Mr.
Bilups, of Morgan, made a very able speech against
the Bill, it was listened to with silent attention and
relieved with applause. I consider it one of she
very best speeches of the Session, and has placed
Mr. Bilups among the very first men in the Senate.
It was a master speech, so says every body.
I could wFite you many other things, for there is
many things done in this place that are not in this

“The world is full of poetry —the air
Is living with its spirit; and the waves
Dance to the music of its melodies
And sparkle in its brightness.”
This spirit of poetry arouses our loftier train of af
fections, which are borne upon the gilded wings of
Cupid’s messenger, in the form of a Valetine,tosome
fair friend breathing the pure sentiments of friend
ship, esteem, and all the kindlier regards for those to
whom we donate. It may, perchance, be received
with silent approval, told only by the fair face,
‘•Where eloquent bludies burn and fade,
Rich with the wealth of warm emotion ;
Or starry dimples mock the shade,
Like jewels in a restless ocean.”
Valentines are the ambassadors of thought, where
language fails. They substitute, in glowing eloquence,
the reading of the heart, by their symbolic meaning.
Faithful to my trust, as a sc vant of the public I
am doing all in my power to further the interests of
those youths and maidens who are suffering from an
affection of the heart. To all, of every age, and of
every rank in life, I offer a specific that has never
failed. Such is the wonderful power of the Valen

of the tender passions, that none make love without
sending one as a pioneer. BENJ. G. LIDDON.

A GOOD SPECULATION!
1 OFFER FOR SALE, tlu valuable TRACT
of LAND, lying on Beaver-dam Greek, 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 w oods,
and I hazzard nothing in saying, that some of this
land is as 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 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 b}* the the mill to each
of these places, which bring them in direct commu
nication. The route surveyed for the Rail 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 ly, but if desired, will sell in parcels to suit
purchasers. Several elligible building sites, with
good Springs, make a division quite practicable.
As I am too far re . oved to make these lands avail
able, my residence being in the Southern portion of
the State, l 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 any
kind upon my land, in Hancock county, as des
cribed above. The law will be applied in every in
stance that comes to my knowledge.

VOLCANIC REPEATING PISTOLS.
rpHIS PISTOL can be discharged with greater
X 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.— Wc have seen and
fired a pistol, reecntly invented and patented, which
bids fair to excel everything as yet offered in that
line to the public attention, ft 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 Volcrnic Pistol carries a ininie or conical ball
in a l ific barrel, and will pqt it through a three-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. Thepistols 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,
so that a person might swim a river with one of these
in his belt without the slightest degree injuring the
powder. In short, the weapon is in ail respects one
of the most perfect things in the shooting line that
wo ever took into our hands.”
