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.

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 , '’ tter - BALDWIN. |3F~Robert P.

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.

Jan. 12 1 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. W. B. SEALS. Perry, Ga., Dec. 28, 1855. 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. ” W. B. SEALS. Perry, Ga., Dec. 28, 1855. ! Jan 12 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.” ®TA small lot just received and for sale at the MADISON BOOK STORE.
