Our Thanks Arc tonderefi our friends ior a variety us new odvertisetnenls this week, \vhieh see. TO SUBSCRIBERS. Subscribers who do not live in town will find their pa pears at the Drug Store o! Messrs. Harwell &Groybill, wlio, besides their drugs, keep on hand a great many things pleasant to the taste, and delicious to the pftlate. We have made this arrangement to save our subscribers the trouble of calling nt 'ourortieo to gat their papers. To Correspondents- We have been very indulgent to our correspon dents heretofore, and have several times admitted cmtmmieatiens which wore not exactly up to our standard. Wc shall draw the reins more tightly hereafter, and admit nothing which is not well written. fcfoiut-of our eorrespomVnls sometimes write to Vis in a careless way. and do not do fair best. No one ought ever to write ui til he first detcrni.nes to do as well as he can do. Carelessness uover yet nuido a good writer. It has spoiled many. Wc do not consider it complimentary tons for a correspondent to rattle 01V pages of loose and dis jointed paragraphs, and then send them to us for nublieation. If wo see evidence of such careless ness in an article, it will be rejected. Correspondents should be brief if they wish to be jv ul Remember that you have not learned to write well until you have learned to condense.— Ifvoudo not toll all you know this week, you can have another chance the next. One elaborated jura graph is worth more than a crude column. Remember the injunction of the Roman poet: stvlum vortas, iterum quae digna legi sint. Scriptures: ne.jUe, te ut nurctur turba, labores, Couteatus paucU feetoribu.s • which we take the liberty to' paraphrase as fol lows : Vo who would write what may be often read, Must oil consider what had best be said: rttrivenet so much to phase the gaping crowd As those who are with judgment well endowed.

If they want tcVaow our polities. tell them we are a Hard Shell ItemoeruT. Tell them that we have tried to get the Whit’s and Democrats at the South to unite in one body and back those Democrats at the North who have all along stood up for ns. but that Democrats will be Democrats and Whigs will be Whigs, so that we have let these Ephraims alone, joined as they are to their idols. Tell them that we tried to get Mr. Pierce to give Mr. Toombs a seat in his cabinet in order to secure the support of the Southern Whig party, and that he would, (perhaps) have dot.*-but for the Federal Union, which said it didn’t approve such policy, and so our plan was dele;;tc-d. Tell them that when we have anything to say. we don't ask any body if we may say it, but utter ir forthwith. Let them know, also, that our paper, in its mechanical appearance, is equal to any in the State. And say to them, finally, that we set out in the beginning as much determined as ever a man was, not to brag, or to say anything about the merits of our p>apc-r. Rut we have been driven from this determination in self-defence. We found that if we adhered to it, we would be altogether out of the fashion, and we have learned that “when in Rome* wc must do as Rome docs.” The Magnolia State. Is tli-.rc any State in the Union whose alias is the above? If so, we are not disposed to claim it tor Georgia. If not, then we are. But Georgia already has au alias you say—“ The Empire State of the South.'' Yes, and, that is the very reason we wish it to have another more proper name. Now if you called it ''The Empire Slate," simply, and then stopped, it would do very well. But then you go on and add, “of the South"—just as if you were to say, “That does very well — for John!" New York is the “ Empire State - ’ —Georgia an “Empire State"’ —“The Empire State, of the South'.' We do not like a name which Implies excellence, of on inferior order. G eorgia is a very great State —for the South! —but not for the Union 1 We. l>ok upon this appellation of Georgia in the same light that we do upon second honors at commence ment I '. Save us from these, and save our State from the patronizing epithet ■'Empire State of.the Softji! Does anybody call New York “Empire State of THE North.” We had rather be called* “DeiiP out right, than “Angel —OK THE BOTTOM- I.KSS PIT!” "i -* ... y Well then if we can't call Georgia “The Empire State of the South,” let her be called ‘The Magno lia State.” This sounds well, conveys no idea oi an inferior excellence, suggests no superior, and demands no thanks for a name given by couttesy. It would be calling our State after a beautiful in digenous tree or shrub and would suggest beauty, prosperity, growth, fertile soil, southern climate,’, magnificence arid independence. Change of Editors. Samuel W. Flournoy, K»|., has retired from the editorship of tUqCvluodms Enquirer, on account <>i bad health. He parts 'with bis readers m a handsome address, and we part with huupith ro gret. The corps editorial loses a veteran the rcy. tiroment of Mr. flouri.oy. He filled his post with more than ordinary ability. Uis editorials were, always remarkable for their readableness, their u it, and their stroi.g sensd. Yom always turned to them with pleasure from the and wastes of newspaper literature. We make the following just and truthful c**traeL frcnn our retiring brothers valedictory. Speaking of his successor lie says: ' “in his keeping, now, is placed the fearful work of administering weekly to the desircs . e tiuiiwinds of subscribers and tnends, whose m, UecetislKH.ed, will enable them to feel that he head that thinks for all, and (he judgment that t c decide for all, may sometimes be at must d prove fallible without fault without enme -ni pr t justly incurring the censure 01 v “Set the readers of newspapers bear in mind tins plea for the brotherhood of Tliejuuill- Mr. l.'lou,»y ~e; , 1U.. and much happiness in his retiremem.

The Georgia J/mke Gazette, is the'only paper exclusively literary in Georgia, and should be in every family. The South Western Xrivs is the best exponent o* the interests of a section of our State which is growing in importance, and destined to bo the section.

Hurrah for Northern institutions I “Woo unto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beau tiful outward, but. within are full of dead men’s, bones, and all uneleanness." Joseph Henry Lumpkin, jr., the eldest son of .Judge Lumpkin of the Supreme Court, died at Lex ington on t lie 12th iust-, in the 21th year of his age.— Jour, d’ Messenger. We think that the deceased Was not a son, but a nephew of Judge Lumpkin. Our Burial Ground. We again call the attention of our citizens to the fact that we have no burial-ground. We have said before, and we repeat it, now, that the condi tion of our town in this respect is a disgrace to the community in which we live. We bury our dead on the Academy lot in the very teeth of statutory provision to the contrary; and it is only, by suffer ance that our friends who take their final leave of us, can find a place in which to lio down in their last, long sleep. The Commissioners should buy a spot of ground and lay it oft’ into small parcels and expose them for sale, for the purpose of affording burial places which each family could decorate and beautify to please itself a till retaining a portion of tbe land for a common "burial-ground for those who are unable, or Unwilling to purchase. Even if out dead were not buried on the Academy lot in vio lation. oi iaw, it is a fact sufficient to weigh upon us in the furtherance of a different course that the graves upon that lot are already so crowded that the rest of one corpse in its narrow charnel-house is r.ot unfrequently disturbed in making room for an other. How long shall this stigma remain upon our village? A Pastoral. The following pastoral we take from an old “ciphering book” used in Virginia but little less than a century ago. We do not recollect to have seen it in print, but do not know whether the au thor of the MS. is also the author of the poem, or not. Perhaps the Southern Literary Messenger, or some other journal in the Old Dominion can tel! us something about it. The pastoral has not often been attempted by the poets of this country. The following is a not very bad specimen of that kind of writing. Gay Damon long studied my heart to obtain, The prettiest young shepherd that fifes on the plain; I’d hear his gay tale, then declare ’twas amiss, And Id often say no, when I longed to say yes. Last Valentine’s day to our cottage lie came, And brought me two lambkins to witness liis flame: “Oh! take them," he cried, “thou more fair Ilian their fleece—" I could hardly say no, though ashamed to say yes. Soon after, one morning, we sat in the grove,— lie pressed my hand hard, and in sighs breathed his love, Then tenderly asked if I’d grant him a kiss— I designed to say no, but mistook and said yes. At this with delight, his heart danced in his breast: “Ye gods,” lie cried, “doe will now make me blessed— Come let’s to the church, and share conjugal bliss:” To prevent being teased , I was forced to say yes. I ne’er was so pleased with a word in my life, I ne’er was so happy since I am a wife : Then take, ye young damsels, my counsel in this, Ye must all die old maids, if ye will not say yes. Married Man’s .Lament: A PARODY. Oft in the stilly night. Before I had got married, I till the morning light In groceries often tarried. I there did drink of punch and gin, And with my friends grew merry; But long alas ! the time lias been Since I sipped port and sherry. Thus in the stilly night, Ere Sally’s chain had bound me, I drank till morning light, Companions all around me. - When I remember all The friends that drank together, In grocery, or at ball, In hot and wintry weather, I feel like one who treads alone Some grocery deserted, Whose hopes are dead, whose brandy’s fled, And he to home departed* Thus in the stilly night ,y & Since Sally’s chain has hound mo Sad memory brings the light Or other nights around me.

Jet-ms is a smart bay, and eood git along thru this vale of leers Very well, if it warn't for his devilment. I have tried every tiling in my power to make Jeems slay at home uv nites, an do us he'ortor. Rut all t Icon say and do, Jeems will do as he has a mine to. A OO I tliort I wood jes rite to you and see of you cood send me a resect to cure lum of his devilment. Folks is got to doin things up with so much larnin and sic-h, that I tliort maybe you would know what wood do my sun sum good. I was a redin in your last paper about that table that trotted acrost the room to show that the sper rit of the dog was in it, and thinks I, es larnin is got up that high, maybe it mout be tho case that them sperrits, Mr. Editur, could tell you what to do for Jeems. He's eum as nigh on to break in my heart, sometimes, as c-nny body ken kum. Now Jeems is a good boy oksept his devilment, and I jest dar enny boddy to say he aint. Rut ho will do a heap o’things that aint aecordin to scriptur. Sometimes he says confound , and es I tell him about it he will jump up and crack his heels together, and kominens to sing Possum up the gum slump. Arid then es I tells him about this he will hm/in to sing Jordan is a hard road to travel, \vlueh es it is, it is nothin to him, for I never -Led him a travlin in it. V unst when ho \yay a sing-in this cliune, in stead ol singin hiuHs, lie sung out somethin about Abraham and Isaac play in cards. and then lie kinder cut liis by e round at me and lafr, jest to see what I Mould say. Ses I “ Jeems did over you noo Abraham and Isaac to play cards—is you got any authority from Scriptur for sayinso?” Almost afore I eood git the words out o’ my mouth, Jeems said, ses lie— “ Why yes, rna, I’ve won many a half pint from tho ole follows myself, play in ole sledge acrost a log at eamp-meetin.” Now, Mistur Editur, I coodn’t stand this, so I pikt up a stick a wasagointo mall him. But ho jumped out o’ my way, and run off a little ways and pulled out a set of papers that had the dot3 all over ’em, and puts ’em up sorter to his face, peepin at me from behind ’em, and running his fin gers over tho ends made ’em snap and pop and pop and snap, until I was so mad that I coodn’t hold in no longer. So I railed out, I did. An’ es it hadn’t or ben that I was or oman, and a cristian onian at that, I wood a oust Jeems twel he was blue. Wun nite, not long ago, I mist Jeems, for lie was gone off up to town, and so T puts out to look for him. Sumbody told mo Jeems was in the back room o’ the grocery. So in I goes to see what lie was adoin. I stood sorter behind the door, like, jest to see what he was a doin, and sed nothin to nobody for fecr lie mite see me, Thar stood Jeems ’ at wun eend ova table jest twist as long as it was bred, with a long stick in liis hand, and Billy Snipes stood at the other eend with a stick jest like Jeems’s. The table bad a table cloth on it maid out o’ green brodcloth, and was as prirty a thing as ever you seed. At each of the corners of the table was a pocket, and on the sides of the table was a pocket, jest about the middle of the table. Then there was four balls, two ol ’em white, and two of cm red. Fust Jeems would take liis stick and push wun of the balls jest as hard as he cood let down. Sumtimes he wood jest tech ’em. Sometimes you never lieerd sich a poppin an rattlin in yore life as Jeems made with these balls. Billy done jest the same way. Every now and -then they wood rub c-hork on the eends o’ ther sticks. Some times the balls went in the poekits, and sumtimes they didn’t. Most all the time wun ov em was a. movin’ some big wooden buttons backerds and for erds on a piece o’ wire that stood over the table. Sometimes they lade cen a most down on the ta ble, and cited jest like they was a gwine tosliute a rifle. Then they kept on a talkin about bridges, and cannons and sich like. By and by Jeems ses, -ses he, “That’s a pony.” An then lie oust. Now I could stand the cussin tolerably well, be cause I een a most cuss somestimes myself. But when it cums to (ellin o’lies, I can t stand it. 1 knowed that Jeems knowed that tliar warn’t no pony tliar, jest as well as I knowed it. Soho had scarce got the words “that’s a pony” outen liis mouth afore I said “that’s a lie. ’ And as I said so I jerked Jeems’s stick outen liis band, and lam med away with it. Jeems jumped outen tbe win der, and I broke the grocery keeper’s winder glass. Jest as soon as he was out lie put wun tlnun on liis nose, and then jined bis other thurn to the little fin ger on that hand, crooked liis other little finger and commenced workin it up and down at mo like a bob-tail dog, and said “Now pay for it, ole lady.” I tell you I was mad, and es the grocery keeeper and Billy hadn’t a got out o’ the way, I wood a lammed them too. Then Jeems ses, ses lie, “Ma, aint you ashamed to be c-ort in a grocery this time o’ nite ?.” And Jeems ses I cust, an ses lie’s a gwine to have mo up in the church about it. So you see, Mistur Editur, what sort of a boy Jcpins is, and lie een a most teazes my life ,outen me. Es you eood send me a resect to cure him, you wood oblige V our fren, SALLY I’OKE.

The allies, however, strongly suspect Austria of I treachery. The *Czar, it is said, will withdraw all his troops and order them into the Russian Territory-during the ' progress of negotiations. It was rumored in London that a, secret Russian Diplomatist had arriv ed in that city. .... ’ ,- 1 The details tjf the Spanish insurrec tion were conflicting. One account sffys that the insurgents maintain their position, but the country does not rise? in their favor, whilst another reports that they were retreatilig towards An dalusia, Madrid was Iranquil. The London Monfng Herald an nounces the arrival :n that city of agents authorized by the American government to purchase Cuba from Spain.

A Paris paper gives the following account : The police have just arrested the oldest and most experienced of Pari sian female pickpockets, a woman nick named from her dexterity, the Main d’Or. A few days ago. they received intelligence that several pockets had been picked aWrai hvay stations, and that the Main d’Or had just arrived in Paris. Thinking that she must be the author of tho roperies, they-set a watch for her, and saw her in the bu reau of the Pussy ornnibusscs, near the Palace Royal. She was finely dress ed, but preserved an air of demure re spectability. Several ladies were in the office at the time; and presently the police saw her sip her hand into the pocket of a young lady, and draw, from it a well-filled purse. They immedi ately, in polite terms, asked her "to ac company them, and they carried her off to the Prefecture of Police. Main d’Or made no attempt to deny her guilt, but said it was her first offence, arid that she had only recently arrived from Holland, where her husband died a short time ago. The history of this woman is very curious. She married at the early age of 15, and immediately took to thieving. Her success was such that she and her husband lived in a line hotel and kept’ a carriage and pair. After his death she lived with different eminent thieves, most of whom arc now in jail. Iter age at present is about 67, and for upwards of 50 years she has constantly practised thieving. In the course of tint time she has fre quently been condemned in France, and also in Switzerland, Germany, It aly, Holland and other countries. «f Catalogue of JlSarvcls. From the Report of the Patent Of fice, the -Washington ..“Cotton Plant” compiles a list of wonders.’ The report explains the principles of the celebrated Hobbs’ lock. Its tin pickability depends upon a secondary, or false set of tumblers, which pre vents the instruments from reaching the real ones. Moreover, the lock is powder proof, and may bo loaded through the key hole and fired off un til the burglar is tired of liis fruitless work, or fears that report of his explo sions will bring to view his experi ments more witnesses than he desires. Doors and shutters have also been patented that cannot be broken through with either pick or sledge hammer. — The burglar’s occupation’s gone. A harpoon is described which makes the whale kill himself. The more he pulls the line the deeper goes the luir poon. An ice-making machine has been pattented which goes by a steam en gine. In an experimental trial it froze several bottles of sherry, and produc ed blocks ;! of ice of a cubic foot, wlicn the thermometer was standing,at eigh ty degrees. It is calculated^that for 'every ton of coal put into the furnace it will - make a Ton of ice. From DrjSrales’s Examiner’s Report we gather some ideas of the value of patents. A man who had made a slight im provement in straw cutters, took a model of his machine through the Western States, and after a tour of eight montlis, returned with $40,000. Another had a machine to thrash and, clean grain which, in fifteen months, lie sold for $60,000. And a thirD ob tained a patent for printer’s ink, refus ed $50,000 for it, and finally sold it for $60,000. These, are ordinary cases; while such inventions as the telegraph, the planing machine, and' the India; rubber patents, are worth millions each.

There is a machine, also, by which a man prints instead of writing his thoughts. It is played on like a piano; JLaw and Order in the Free JYegro Stales. We infer from the following burst of indignation in the New York Express, that society in the Northern cities has nearly reached that condition of an archy and disorder to which it irresisti bly tends: A Reign of Terror,— Wc never re member a time, (we are sorry to say if) when Ruffianism and villainy were so rampant among us as at present. Within the forty-eight hours past, cases have come to our knowledge, of quiet, unob trusive, unoffending citizens being bru tally beset, by villains and gangs of vil lains, without the slightest provocation, and so brutally beaten as to imperil life. Others have been maimed, dan gerously wounded, and others again insulted and assailed, even in the com pany of ladies. The presence of a wo man, even, imposes no restraint upon these scoundrels; itself a mark of cow ardice that comports well with their ruffianly character in other respects. When such acts as these are become common occurrences we are not going to stop to inquire whether the perpe trators are “foreigners” or “natives.” No Americans would be guilty of some of the outrages of this kind to which wc allude, —nor would any foreigner but those the most ignorant. Now, these things must stop. They must not be permitted to go on. If there is not virtue enough in the law to shield us, a disposition will be uni versal to fall back to that,self-protection which is the first law of nature. The direct tendency of this course is to an archy. If assassins and bullies crowd the streets and stand at the corners of the streets, ready to maim and to mur der us, jfperehancc wc happen to wear a hat of a particular color, or a coat of a particular'cut-, it cannot be expected that the more orderly disposed will sub mit to it quietly. They ought hot so to submit, and they will not. The en actment on the statute book against ca r rying dangerous weapons will not be heeded. The police authorities, there fore, must be watchful, must be active, and beard these wretches in their dens, or else we may as well begin to con template a condition of things that will bring down New York to about the same level of vice as in the days of the Bravos! If these scoundrels cannot govern themselves as American citi zens wish to be governed, for our own part wc do not care how soon a sterner system is introduced among us. If the time is indeed come when the bayonet alone can keep the peace, as in most of the cities in continental Europe, why let it be the bayonet. We must have protection for ourselves and our fami lies. It is a sad thing to see ruffianism getting too powerful for the civil au thorities ; but give us martial law —give us any thing but the Reign of Terror wc arc having now. A Conversational Truth.—Wo men never tire of talking about ba bies , and men about horses. There are some individuals thatslight labor, and treat Mechanics with cool ness, and sometimes, even with deri sion; but they, may yet blister their lily hands.with manual labor. Mark this prophecy. - ; g «»'KJJE r JH7 it T./m..n*L-w® Departed this lifo in Putnam county, Ga., on Wednesday night 20tli July, 1854, at the residence of her grand-motlier, All’s. Catherine G. Terrell, Frances W. Grafton in the 29 th year of her agg. Her disease was consumption. The deceased was always mild and iuniablo in her character, and sweet and gentle in her dispo sition. The ordinary passions of the human heart seemed to have no existence in her bosbm. All the virtues and affections of the heart wereher’s in an eminent degree. Anger never disturbed her brow, and it was no part of her business On earth to complain of any thing. Such was her character, and such her virtues, before disease began to pray upon her. And when death had laid his hand upon her, and slowly and through much pain, began to draw her to the grave, it might be supposed that she could not pass the ordeal, and still retain her lovely, and amiable disposition. But she murmured not at lxer fate, and even death could not wring from her one peo vish complaint. Such an one as the deceased, could nothut be a Christian. And when, at an early a&O, She connec ted herself with tho Methodist'church," and took upon herself the obligations thus devolved upon her, it was but a visible manifestation of tho work which her Maker had done for her heart when he moulded its plastic form in earliest infancy.
