The Tyranny of Fashion. Fashion is the- most exacting and capricious of all tyrants. Her government is a pure despotism in ” , ' l ‘ 1 1,111 1,1011 sei so is never recognised or consul ten. Her commands are unreasonable in them selves, and she never deigns to give a reason for their enjoinment, yet demands for them the most submissive obedience. No matter how utterly at variance are her behests, with prudence, common sense and individual comfort, they must be obeyed. Necessity knows no law,” and imposes noneon those who arc subjected to her. But Fashion is worse still; she is made of laws, and those of the most oppressive tyranny. M e have frequently been surprised at the unre sisting deference which men pay to the most capri cious whims of Fashion. That weak-minded men J* womcn should do this is not at all remarkable ihe love of admiration is their i tiling motive, and anything which will yield them this is readily re vived. Fashion gives them an opportunity of feed ing their vanity and it is none the less welcome, that k ‘*■ s o a * ned at the expense of reason. But that per k sons who on other subjects, think and act rationally, should be guilty of practicing the same absurdity,’ is certainly paradoxical. Few are ound however, who ever demur at, and still fewer who openly re sist the mandates of this imperious sovereign. The unreasonableness of Fashion is chiefly manifested in, though not all confined to dress. Here her ea piice has a wide range, and her inventive powers are brought into full play. There is, and can be no limit to hei power so long as the principle of imita tion remains a ruling motive in the human mind. Change is the only rule of its action, and to effect this, good taste and reason are alike unconsulted. -Every year, every month brings new .styles, patterns and forms, and to conform to them, any comfort and must be sacrificed, any expense incurred. The body must be tortured, the limbs constrained in or der to reduce them to modes of dress utterly repug nent to nature. Ah, had graves voices, what tales I could they tell of the beautiful and lovely, who in the greenness of their years, became the victims of Fashion. Perhaps to preserve a graceful taper of the waist, they pressed the breath from out their lungs, and met death “in consumption’s ghastly form.” Wc sympathize with the dawn trodden subjects of despotism, we pity the prisoner’s lotas we hear the clanking of his chains, and his sad mourn echoed along his dungeon’s hollow vault; but who sheds a tear over the follies and sorrows of Fashion’s votaries ? They murmur not beneath the oppression and the tale of their woes is untold. Shame hath with a hand stronger than bands of steel, closed their lips in a silence which death alone can break. But it will be broken, when the secret of all hearts are laid open, and Fashion must pay a fearful penalty at the bar of an offended judge. Hancock ntv, Ga., May 14, 1850. John 11. Seals, Esq.,'-—Sir: You may never get such a letter as this, but it is of the same importance to us as other letters are to those who write them. And as you will not find any name signed to this I beg you not to class it with those written by persons who are real bucket letter writers; and if you class it with those you will fail giving is a reply—that in formation we demand, and that which is due us.— We have learned from some source that j’ou are married, but not knowing this t be so from reliable authority, wc ask you as politely as we can to in form us by a written comm uncation. We cannot rest upon the certainty of it either way until we hear from you. We show this to the Postmaster here and he promises to let us have the letter and no oth er. by addressing A. B. & C. Yours respectfully. We willingly give our solictous friends the infor mation “demanded” above, ly saying the rumor is false. We are not married a; yet, and just now our chance seems rather “slim.” We came very high unto being wedded to a fenale woman, once—so nigh that we “popped” the-piestion to her but she begged to be excused, an we were “greenhorn” enough to excuse her, so th wedding was “cumfus ticated,” or in other words postponed indefinitely, it being leap year we thougit our ticket might per haps draw a prize during ue season but it seems like the Girls can't stand or “phiz.” But it is some consolation to known that oine of the fair ones are interested. It seems that three of them are con cerned about us, A. i>. amL’., (“ Angeline“Betsy,” an l “Carline.") Southeri Banner. The “Star Editor” of tb Athens Banner liqui dates an “account of ptlishment” against us by publishing a stave of rhyie, which our “love sick” muse, under great exciterent, caused by the recep tion of a posy from our “weetie,” mould “let off” m spite of our efforts wit “Morphine” and “Seid letz Powders,” to keep kr cool. Wc thought our rhyme remarkably xhar until we saw it in another journal, particularly ourhiasal jingle” to roses; but Frank did not publish ie best “reerse. ” What a pity! We receipt the accout by giving Friend Francis a cordeling about tl exciting “Bear fight;” The joke is too good o be lost. After witness ing it, he states in ;s notice, that the “mor al sentiment of the comunity is strongly opposed to such sport,” and thSaturday following he visits it again, and there b&g twenty-fee cents lacking to juaakf rtvl the Frank (moral sentiment; -advances the extra t i:ar ter, —during the strug gle between the aninls, the Bear turns his head towards the Star Edor, which was too much for “A ■ A.

Frank is certainly one of the\g St and cleverest fellows in the world, and we alnff* Jove him ; but it is a great pity that he to ill drink ftnd go to “Bear fights,” knowing all the time thaty “moral sentiment of the community is strongly posed to such sports!” Hell on Earth. if there is any place on the face of our earth that resembles Erebus it is certainty a legaliz and grogshop. It is there where the aquor mortis et damnations burns and consumes human bodies with the avidity of brimstone flames. “Hon. John O. Walkersays: A grocery or a P^e where whisky is sold, bought, or dronk .t see t m- could only have been gotten up as a miniature apinst going there. 5 How ran a mortal man look upon such place j with an} 1 ” regard for his race, or who would set an example worthy of imitation, can fail now to lend his aid to promote this glorious en terprise.” Prohibition. Prohibition is the settled policy of the people, and will take the piaqe of regulation. You can’t reg ulate the traffic for it is an irregularity. Moral Sua sion has accomplished much good, but its strength is well nigh exhausted. Gaugh lately expressed, at Hartford, Conn., the following forcible sentiment on this topic: “The lime once was, that he advocated moral sua sion ; but he had become convinced that it is-idle to a! tempt to move men by moral suasion, when there is nothing to get hold of—no basis for it to stand upon. You can’t reach a liquor dealer by moral suasion. We must have a law that will yield pro tection, the license system furnishes no protection —no redress. A man may sell your fathe r liquor until he is drunk, under the License system. ‘That man killed my father,’ said a young man who had been bereaved of his parent, through the agency of a liquor seller, ‘but the law furnishes me no redress.’ W omen ana children beg for protection, and they ought to have it. We seek for protection, and we believe we can get it in no other way but by prohi bition.” Old South Side Madeira. W e take the following history of “old South Side Madeira,” from the excellent tale “Cone Cut Cor ners by Benauly. It affords a very clear exposi tion of the unnumbered frauds which are being con stantly practiced by Liquor dealers.’ But whatever filthy process liquors may undergo in their prepar ation, and however they may be adulterated, we esteem them Fully’- as clean and pure as they who sell, or habitually use them. People who deal with a class of men whose business demands continual deception, cannot expect other than to be cheated. Not quite two years since, a dirty crew of naked natives, jumping up and down, with songs, in the wine-vats of the south side of the Island of Madeira, crushed with their feet the over-ripe and bursting grapes; and as the juice and pulp squirted from urn der the soles of their dancing feet, and spirted up between their brown toes, and spattered upon their brawny thighs, they sang the louder and danced the faster, until the perspiration, starting in large drops, roiled down their hirsute ie. s, mingling with spatterings of grape, and was finally rubbed off’ into the vat by the hands of the retiring laborers; and thus was accomplished, at a very early period, the first dilution of the pure juice of the grape. Thence undergoing many equally pleasant courses of treat ment, the final result was strengthened with bran dj’ to enable the same to endure well the voyage, and by an imaginary trip to the East Indies, came quickly to London, and there was entered safelv in bond. Not even here, however, though safe under govern ment care and surveillance, did its history end. For here by virtue of the authority of those conve nient ordinances of the British Government, known as Treasury Order, 20th of May, 1830, Treasury Order, 20th of June, 1830, and other like wholesome regulations, it was mixed again with not over twen ty per cent, of brandy and with other wines, also Madeira so called, adlibitum , then and there also in bond; and thence, having been racked into other casks, was brought into the city of New York, where it appeared by the oath of the respectable dealers, who imported it, (and who subsequently made a profit on it by expanding it into thirteen hogsheads out of a dozen,) that its original and true cost to them was forty-eight and a half cents a gal lon. Coming from them into the hands of Messrs. Bagglehall, Floric & Cos., they surely did it no harm in adding what they fairly could to its quantity, since they could not injure its purity.

The Rome Commercial Advertiser states that there was recently a party travelling through that section, who were circulating spurious gold dollars. We learn that an accident occurred on the La grange railroad on Friday, which resulted in the death of Mr. Isaac Smith, the engineer of the train. George P. Swift, Esq., of Upson county, has been appointed Aid to his Excellency, the Governor, with the rank of Colonel. Col. M. P. Stovall was unanimously elected a Di rector in the City Bank of Augusta, on the sth inst., to supply a vacancy in the Board of Directors. The Dahloncga Signal says : “We learn from the mail rider that the court house at Blairsville, Union county, was burnt on Monday night last, with all the papers and records of the county. Supposed to have been the act of an incendiary.” The last Georgia Citizen says : “It is expected that the Thomaston and Barnesville railroad will be completed in all this year. The grading being fin ished, the timber for the superstructure being pro vided, and the money for the iron raised. George Walker, Esq., of Pulaski county, is en gaged in the laudable enterprise of boring an Arte sian well, with good prospects of success. The Columbus Sun, of the 10th inst., states that William McKay, a boy about 12 years of age, the son of Mr. McKay, of Columbus, was drowned on Saturday last, through the upsetting of a skiff on the river.

Sparison. A big rusty African the morning after a drizzling when College boy with anxious Juffy, is it raining! No sir, a monkey. College boy’s bed with laughter, and dresses for Shanghai disturber crawls up the tree to ease the poor chicken from his roost, when out comes a member of the family with a torcli the chicken stealer makes a grab at ShanghaLjjs he turns loose everything to tumble—hits the ground with a handful of feathers and exclaims teched him” He states that he broke to run and fell into a gully fifteen feet high.’ The shelter, covering the Steam Mill boilers having caught on fire, the whole town turns out to see it burn, all are standing close, when the escape cock is raised to let of steam—the crowd breaks in great fright,—a huddle of Ladies run furiously, un til they are broke down, when the foremost one out of breath, turns round and anxiously enquires “and what dul you run for ?” The Editor ol the Crusader is aroused from his slumbers early in t e morning, with the tetN*. fying alarm that his office is burning up. He pitches out of bed with eyes as large as “candle sticks” and puts off with pants in hand, and arrives at the con flagration with one leg in them, —when finding to his great relief, that it is his neighbor burning up, he sits down and puts on the remainder of his panta loons. “Bilk” the negro highlaluten Philosopher, being asked by some of the Boys, if he were to come up with a blind chicken travelling backward*, whether he would be meeting or overtaking him. After repeating the problem to himself, said, it was abased above his debility of subeeption for to night, he didn't have Ms Collugm about him. Brunswick and Florida Railroad Company. On Thursday, 15th inst., the Board of Directors of the Brunswick and Florida Railroad Company held their regular annual meeting, in this city. It ap pears by the Report of the President that the iron has been laid for 14 miles—the grading finished for 26 miles, arid the iron paid for, and nearly all of it arrived at this port, for 32 miles of the Road. The bridge across the Satillais in a state of forwardness, and the Road is progressing at the rate of half a mile per day. During the meeting of the Directors, a joint con tract was signed by 22 of our sterling citizens of Thomas, Lowndes, Berrien, Clinch and Ware coun ties—to grade the Road and furnish the cross-ties from Big Creek to the Allapaha. The former con tractors are to do the same from the Satilla to Big Creek, and our Northern friends are to furnish the iron, &c. This division of labor and means suits the convenience 0/ each portion of the stockholders and contractors, and insures the most certainty and dis patch in the progress of the Road. It is happily applying the ,principle of the division of labor to the building of Railroads. Sale of City Lots. Thursday, the 15th, the time appointed for the sale of city lots, we had constant showers during the morning, so that the sale could not commence till quite a late hour, During the day, however, 10G lots were sold to 34 different individuals at an aggre gate of $43,005, being an average of 405,71 c. per lot To-daj’, (Friday noon) 128 lots have been sold to 27 individuals, at an aggregate of $46,420, equal to $362,66 per lot. The Sale is to be continued this evening. The purchasers of these lots are from all parts of this State, and from other States, as well as citizens of Brunswick. The character of the purchasers may be inferred from the fact, that although the sale was continued till near sunset, at which time there was a Railroad meeting, contracts were made that even ing for improvements on the lots purchased. There are many persons here desirous of purchasing—and had intended doing so —but the lots sold for much more than they anticipated, and they have not yet got their ideas sufficiently elevated to carry out their intentions. It seems, however, that there is no help for us —we have got to come to it. Other gentle men, either more shrewd or more sanguine, have fixed by their bids, the comparative value of lots in the city of Brunswick. —Brunswick Herald. <> i > Disturbances iu Syria. A serious disturbance has taken place at Nap lous. The Rev. Mr. Lyde, English missionary, was leaving Naplous, when a half witted Arab, looked upon by the natives as a holy man, demanded alms, and seized Mr. Lyde’s gun, which was hanging be fore him on the saddle. Unfortunately the piece exploded and killed the man. The Arab popula tion immediately rose, plundered the house of the English Consul, English school, and a Greek church, tore down the French and English flags, and ended by killing the lather of the Prussian Consul, who was attempting to defend the property of the En glish. Mr. Lyde took refuge in the Governor’s house, and was brought to Jerusalem by an escort of cavalry sent for him by the Pasha. The port of Syria is in a very disturbed state. In and about the mountains there are thirty thousand men, all carrying arms, and the Turkish government would be powerless against any rising of the people. Miss Nightingale and the British Army. A private letter from Scutari states that Miss Nightingale has lately been much engaged with schools and reading rooms for them. She is always hard at work in their cause; and now that the hos pitals are in such capital order, she has turned to ward their education; and she says that the willing ness of the soldiers to improve—to take in all good that is offered to them, is delightful. Give them opportunity, (Miss Nightingale lately wrote to a friend.) promptly and easily to send money home .and they will profit by them; give them games and books, and they will leave oft drink ing ; give them suffering, and they will bear it; give them work and they will do it. I would rather have to do with the army generally, than with any other ciass that I have ever attempted to serve.”— Another friend of hers, now in the Crimea, writes about her: “Miss Nightingale has lived not on the natural life within her, but on the interest of fulfil -Ikg her works; and 1 fear that when the spring of that is over, she will sink entirely. Still I hope that entire rest may revive her though she could not rest for long.” <<i> Rescue of the Four men Buried Alive in Ohio. The four miners who were buried alive in the coal mines below Zanesville, were reached about one o’clock Saturday morning, and taken from their dark prison house. The caving of the coal bank, by which they were shut in, took place two weeks ago last Friday, at about eleven o’clock in the mor ning. The men had gone into the bank very early in the morning of that day, so that they have been shut out from light and pure air for nearly fifteen days. They had only one dinner, and after being shut up, found the dinner of another man, who had, with sixteen others, at great risk, barely escaped the catastrophe. It is not true that they lived on the lamp oil. They had but little of it. One of the men swallowed sdrne of the oil to relieve his throat which had become very sore from drinking the cop peras water. So that the marvel remains of four persons rescued after two week’s deprivation of food and water; and not in very bad condition either, considering. Temperance Premium. Mr. John M. Barnard, of Boston, makes the gen erous and philanthropic offer of a premium of one thousand dollars “for the best essay on the subject of legislative enactments designed to regulate the manufacture, sale, and use of intoxicating liquors, to be accompanied by an outline <fa law for consid eration.” The essays arc to be written within one year from the Ist instant; and are to be submitted to the consideration of a board of five judges, gen tlemen of high character, and well fitted for the du ty winch, to their honor, they have consented to The following are the judges: lion.

Many persons suppose that despatches by this beautiful mode are transmitted by signs, and print ed afterwards. This, however, is a mistake. The letter printing telegraph instrument, invented by Prof. House, has a key board, similar to that of a piano forte, upon which there are thirfcy-six keys, each having a letter marked upon it. The opera tor sends despatches as fast as he can touch the ke}’s, using botli hands, and every time he touches a key, a plain black letter is printed at the other extremity of the line, or if desired, at all the inter mediate offices at the same instant. An Improved Piano Forte. Anew piano forte has been invented, which has two key boards, and is said to have a power greater than two pianos.

The annexed statement of Prof. A. A. Hayes, M. D., State Assayer, is ample testimony of the Scien tific manner in which this medicine is compounded, and recommends it to Professional Men, as worthy a fair trial in their practice : An opinion having been asked for of me, in con sequence of the formula for preparing Oxygenated Bitters being known to me, l express the following in form : The composition of these Bitters includes those medicinal substances which experienced physicians have long resorted to for special action on the sys tem, when deranged by Fevers, Dyspepsia, Agues, and General Debility, resulting frem exposure* or climate influence. These are rendered permanent, and remain ac tive, in this preparation, as a consequence of the scientific manner in which they ar.e .combined. It was a well founded inference, that the prepar ation, used in larger or smaller doses, would prove a valuable General Medicine , which experience has demonstrated. In this medicine, no metalic salts can be found, by the most delicate chemical trials. Respectfully, A. A. HAYES, M. D., Assayer to the State of Massachusetts.
