However, while we were- making for our horses, dav so far broke, as to enable us to look mound and enjoy a scene, of singular and fantastic beauty. A Heavy, misty .fog hung brooding over the face of the earthy enveloping in a thick veil every ;.d;iig objmO.

Nature. He point ed me to the sun. just then rising. It looked like a dull red flame, shooting up through clouds of smoke. Very soon, however, it luust up witli all the wonted brilliancy of the “ Powerful King of day: ” conquering the clouds of mist. These sunk slowly down or rolled heavi ly a wav, leaving the sun to scatter light where before there was only darkness; and to bring out in bold relief, objects which before were laid in a heavy shade. Its ravi glanced over thousands of glit tering globules, sprinkled in rich pro fusion) on every shrub and blade of grass in view in the field a fe\y paces before ns. In short, everything now looked bright and joyous and happy where before, everything looked dark and sombre and gloomy. “ After all," I exclaimed, as our horses, seemingly imbued with a, gay and lively spirit, in unison witli the al tered scene before us, took up their prancing march homeward, scattering with every footstep, thousands of dewv gems from the sparkling grass—“after all. there is so much beauty and interest in the visible world, we should be con tent therewith; and not search for in terest among the dismal records, which tell of ghosts and hob-goblins, or lose ourselves iCiffid 1 fh'e mystic regions of metaphysical phanfa'sies, seeking to es tablish facts, whiph established, would but add to the already too heavy cloud of gloom and mystery in which life is shrouded. The Prude. Lord Bryon remarked that “the more delicate people become in words, the less they are so in acts.” This is true; for the most meretricious mind seeks the daintiest garment of words to conceal the moral deformity. Every man of experi ence knows that the most accessible ladies are those who make the greatest preten sion to extra delicacy. The black-eyed, romping, frank, open-hearted girl, who speaks her mind freely, and without af fectation, is as secure against attack as the rock of ( fibralter: but the lady who spends her morning in pantelleting the* legs of the piano, and weaving aprons to conceal the beauties of art,- in mar ble C/iipids and Psyches, is sure to com mit some devilment in the dark before night is over. Iler mind h ever sug gestive of something wrong. t?hc is omething like the lady, who, after the publication of Johnson’s Dictionary, wrote to the Doctor, complaining of thy many naughtily wicked words his book 'contained' Dr. Johnson’s only reply was, “that he was sorry that she had been looking for them.’’ The Prude is ! always on a hunt of this kind. The , difference between the Dublin and Lon : don young ladies was illustrated by a I celebrated tvit after this fashion: He | saps “A*, the dinner table,if you look at an English girl, she blushes, casts down her head, and says—“You must ask my papa;” but if you look at an Irish girl, she looks you full in the face, and cries - —“ Port if you please.” Prudery and modesty are distinct as frankness and concealment. There is nothing more absolutely disgusting than prudish simulation. The Waists of American La thed- The unnatural. length and ridi culous smallness of their waists baffle description. A wairt that could he spanned is an English metaphorical ex pression used in a novel, but it is an American fact; and so alarming does it appear to an Englishman, that my first sentiment, on viewing the phenomenon, was one of pitty for unfortunate beings who might possibly break oft in the middle, like flowers from the stalk, be fore the evening concluded. Xo less extraordinary is the size of the ladies arms. 1 saw many that were scarce thicker than moderate sized walking sticks. Yet strange to say when these ladies pass the age of forty, they fre quently attain an enormous size. The whole economy of their structure is then reversed, their wrists and arms becom ing the thickest parts of the body. Here is a subject worthy the contem plation of the ethnologist, ilow comes it to pass that the English type --which 1 presume has not, in every case, been so affected by the admixture of others as to lose its own identity--how comes it to pass, 1 say, that the Enblisli type is so strangely altered in a few general lion?

It would be a source of mortification torne to ob tain the sdbeription of any one, lor my paper, with mistaken 1 impressions upon his mind, and then have it. said, that such views and opinions had a\it been main tained as he had been authorized to ex peet. It, is my purpose to “set forth clearly, fully and distinctly, my cause of action." J design to say exactly what I intend to do, so that no one may sub scribe in the dark. And when J have gotten through, the people of Hcorgia can come forward and patronize nv\ or stand still and not do so. It has been announced that the poli tics of this paper will be Democratic. — The Democratic party I understand to have been founded by Jefferson. This venerated statesman, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, and others, are fathers in the political church to which I belong. To their writings and opinions, conjoined with the record ed action and usages of the Democratic party, as set forth in its resolutions, and the State and other papers of its patri archal members,- * shall go as to the foun tain lueadl of my political faith. These are,- and of necessity mips! be, the Su preme law of the Democratic party, to which appeal must be made in all mat ters of difference in regard to the prin ciples and policy of the party. They are the criterion by which I shall- judge of the Democracy of every one, be high or low—be he president, or be he con stable. They are the talisman by which I shall test the principles of all men.- and all classes of men.* And if they do not square their conduct accordingly, they will be treated Sis enemies m war." The distinctive difference between the Democratic party and its opponents, if 1 understand the faith of that party, is to he found in its peculiar manner of construing the constitution. “ Strict con struction ” is the corner-stone of the for mer. while a “liberal construction” is the key-stone in the arch of the latter. Banks, tariffs, &e., are mere temporary questions.- These, and other ever-vary ing issues, are constantly arising in the progress of the American Government. \Ye are called upon one day to settle one question, and to-morrow another. In their solution we must first go to the one fundamental element of the Democratic party- -Strict Construction —and sec how the law is written there. And after the constitution, the sheet anchor of our safety, is consulted, it is time enough then to debate in our minds the policy, or ex pediency of a measure, Thus it is, that while the measures which divide parties seem to be con stantly changing, the great principle which should underlie them all. and which must determine the advocacy or opposition of the Democratic party in reference to them, is as lasting as the granite hills- -as fixed as the fixed stars in the eternal heavens. This principle is a STRICT CONSTRUCTION OF THE CON STITUTION of the United States. This instrument strictly defines the limited powers delegated to the Federal Government. All powers not therein enumerated, are reserved to the States in their sovereign capacity. These may seem to be truisms too hackneyed to re peat. And yet they cannot lie too often uttered. Besides, their enunciation may I serve as a key to the kind of Democracy 1 profess. To preserve the just balance be tween the Federal and State Govern ments, is, and ever has been, the high est aim of the Democratic party. It is true that in the history of that party there have been portions of it who, in their patriotic zeal for the safety of States Eights, have been forgetful of United States Rights. It is equally true, that at^^ntes portions of it 'm. n L But, while 1 <nvo im 1 •' * billy as if is true to itself, i’t must be uri derstbbd that. I do not surrender the lib erty of speech, nor the freedom m the piyss. I do not subscribe Jo the infal ibditfy of party. I shall become no sor. vile partisan tool, nor political hack.— I shall wear no man’s nor set; of men’s, collar. I reserve the right of speaking, as truth shall dictate, in reference to the nets of my political associates. The praise of him who does nothing but eulogize is worth nothing. Laudation is wort hr of consideration only when tem-! pored with censure where censure is due. ; And ..unfortunately for the human fami ly, espeoiallv that portion of it which | engages in politics, opportunities for cen- I | sure are constantly arising. And unfor- • ! Innately for the present Democratic Ad- ; | iViiiVi strati on, it has? not pursued that pol- ; | icy, in my judgment, best calculated to j secure the confidence' of the good and | patriotic of all parties. It has, in sev- I oral instances, pursued such a policy as j II never can, and never will, consider ; i most honorable and best—-onto which I ; should liavl |Ht constrained to condemn, | had I, upon the oebasibn, occupied the i position I no# do.- t hope* for the fu : Sure, however, that president Pierce will j | so conduct his Administration upon the j j chart laid down in his Inaugural and | first Annual Message, as that I may do ! what 1 have not been able to do hereto- i j | lore—give him a support cordial, and not j | lukewarm.

I c. , It has been announced that the eol -1 minis of this paper will be open to file I discussion of all subjects, provided the articles are “brief, well-written and free ; i from jnrr.s»indity, and inimorol tendency.'' ; | It has been usual in papers of the ehar ' acter, intended for this, to exclude from j its columns discussions of the subjects l of polities and religion—two subjects , which engross more of the attention of j i mankind than all others combined. I j have always thought it strange, that such a stale *nf things existed, as to render it j ; a . i I ncecssary for' a journal professing to be i I neutral, independent or'impartial, to ex- j j elude from its columns subjects most j likclv to interest its readers. The rea- j son is obvious, however. Partisan and : sectarian zeal are apt to indulge iff harsh epithet and gross'personality. As these have been put under the banns. I see no ! reasoli why cnlirjhtcncd and hbcral dis i missions of theological questions should : j not have a place in iriy jiaper. It is al together improbable that discussions of: ' this kind will conic from the editorial | chair. For lam disposed to respect the j j the maxim “ Unto Cieser tiro tilings that j S arc Giesers.” But 1 would call the at--; I tent ion of clergymen particularly to thisy 1 feature in mv columns, and invite con ! tributions from their pens, endowed, as ; i they should be, with the meek and low i lv spirit of Him whom they follow. But all articles must be “brief” ' which are admitted into these columns, ; | for the reason that it doesmiot take the j i mass of writers long to tell all they j I know in reference to any one topic. — : j Long-spun, verbose communications shall i have no place here. Condensed and j pithy articles will always be welcome. The articles must be “ ■weU-wntten, 1 ' because the market is glutted with those which arc' poorly written, and there is no demand for such where this paper expects to circulate. All articles must be “ free from per sonality and immoral tendency.'' This ; rule will be as inflexible as the laws of ; the Modes and Persians. “ Political opponents may have an j opportunity to vindicate their opinions j by complying with the foregoing requi- j sites.” My principles are such as pro- j voke rather than avoid discussion. — There will always be given a prepon derance of Democratic articles, however,, so that there will be no difficulty in recognizing the political complexion of the paper. “The paper is not to be a purely pol | itical one, but to blend the character of a literary gazette with that of a political journal.” Tales essays, poems, reviews of current literature, &c., will be given after the manner of the English news papers. Were it not that “Southern Literature” met with such poor remun eration, I would be pleased to make this a purely literary gazette. The temple of the muses has more charms for me than the political arena, and the shades j of literature are more pleasant than the j torid plains of partizan strife. 1 can not divorce myself entirely from the pursuits to which my tastes incline me. As it is, I must make (lieui secondary in importance to subjects which arrest | more of the attention of people ot the j Georgia.

I This? has prevent.\i my going to i another theatre of action—from remov ing to some other place where the busi- I ness 6f a newspaper would be more apt | to flourish, and where I could have a better opportunity of indulging the dee* I position which 1 have to' rfo and be i something in my day and generation— a disposition which l hope it is not crim inal to confess,- and which your gener osity well know how to pardon. It. is not my intention to make a merely local village newspaper, or to interfere improperly in the affairs of the count}'. 1 have laid my foundation upbn a broader basis. 1 shall endeavor to 1 make agood, general newspaper—one of Liberal spirit and high aim. Far be it from my intention to wound the feel ings of any. Far be it from my inten tion to betray any disrespect for rriv Whig friends. It is my intention, to dis-' cuss principles—not to abuse persons. At a former period-, when I had not reached the age of manhood, Von were kind to me in ray endeavors to establish a literary magazine. For your favors in this regard my profound gratitude was then, and is how, excited. I have ever been, end ever will be, thankful for this kindness. From errors in judgment, as well as inability incident to boyhood, this project failed. And however humblc I know and fed my pretensions now to be, I nmy still be allowed to- say with out egotism, as I only compare myself with myself.- that I bring to the task now before me better scholarship, a more matured judgment, a larger ex peri trace, a more liberalized heart, and more ex tended knowledge of the world. From the people of Putnam-county,- especially, and from the people of door-' gia generally, 1 confidently expect a lib eral support —assuring them that in my editorial career 1 shall endeavor to be guided by the rules which should ever govern a gentleman- —-not a gentleman as the term is too 1 often misunderstood— but as a gent 1 craftin' who, living in a Christian country, and’ though too often violating the principles of Christianity, and making no profession 1 of their strict observance, yet acknowledges them in all their binding force, and beautiful consistency. If I fail to reach the high standard 1 have thus set for myself, I beg you to attribute it to the common frailty of human nature, and not to any disposition to deceive you. J. A. TCP AFP. The Weather S'e. We have had recent!}' a remarka ble spell of cold weather for this latitude. It has been a Southern season with Nor thern principles. Ice and frost, have been quite plentiful. Trie hearts of our Eaton ton ladies are bowed down in sor row at the untimely fall of snaps, peas, potatoes.- &*•.- Nor have the hearts of the farmers' been more glad. They have witnessed the destruction of their corn to a great extent, as well as considera ble injury to their wheat crops. The corn can be replanted, but there is no repairing the injury done the wheat.— Farmers had looked to this as a relief from the present scarcity of grain, but their expectations arc, to a considerable extent, cut off. In addition to these troubles, wo are in the midst of a drought, uncommon at this season. A\ hat can be the cause of all this? Is it- the com et? Or the Nebraska, question? Or the European war? A\ ill the prophet of Ilalcyondale enlighten us ? But things are brightening up a little. The bee is humming in the blooms of the Pride-of-China which shades our sanc tum, the martin's cheerful chirrup is heard and the purple gloss of his neck and breast glistens in the sun-beam, and the swallow twitters-high up in*the heav ens. P. S. Since writing the above We have had several light showers in differ ent parts of the county, and the weather has turned cold again. Two causes con spired to prevent frost last (Sunday.) night. The wind blew and it was cloudy. Nevertheless there was a great fixing on the Sabbath day to prevent sheep from falling into the ditch —that is there was a great covering up of cabbage plants and Irish potatoes. “An ounce ot pre ventive is worth a pound of cure.' dldeaniages of Hail Hoads.

It must become a law.— The Northern man who supports it is our friend. II who opposes It is pur enemy, whether th * ad'mhiistration see fit to read him out of the party, or still allow him a seat at the communion ta ble of Democracy—whether the Union makes his support a test of Deni > -racy of not. The Democratic organization, the Democratic Administration, are worth nothing if they cannot be wielded as leavers in - support of the Nebraska bill and kindred measures.

As regards our .S-ntthmi lib/his, we are all Union men and all Soul burn Rights men —all Whigs and all Democrats. It is the era of good feeling. Let it not be disturbed. There is no knowing what may come of this Nebraska business. Tho battle-ground of the issue involved is at the North. — There, a terrible battle has to be fought between the enemies of the country led on hv such men as Seward and (lid dings, and the friends oi the country headed by Douglas and Dickinson, and Cass.
