Otir Terms From tliis date \ve withdraw ourolub rates. We aVso citangv the price of our paper per annum from $2 to $2.50, provided it is not paid iu advance. We make a slight change, also, in our advertising rates to make thorn correspond with those of our cotemporaries in Mllledgevillo—in some rases hav ing to fail, and in some having to rise. Wo make these changes because we have no idea of running the newspaper business out to the little end of nothing. We spare no expense to make a reada ble sheet, and presume our subscribers aro willing to pay the worth of our labor. We have gotten such a start now as enables us to be a little inde pendent, and hence we ‘‘speak out in mootin.' Our subscription price too, must "now in all eases be paid in advance. Those changes will not cflet-t those who are already subscribers, but are intend ed to refer only to those who subscribe in the fu ture. Attention Is called to tlic advertisements of Messrs. Ilard wiefce A Cook, and Messrs, Dana a Washburn in another column. Also, see other new advertise mentd. - ■— Write a Paragraph sav we to our correspondents. Write us eve ry week a good, nice, readable paragraph—sav a page or foolscap, (hid never more than two pages unless you are certain your article is very interesting. We know it is much easier for you to write several ]>ages than for you to write one: but then you ought to curb your propensity to spin out, and learu to condense. If you wish to find favor in the eyes of the (alitor, and of the printer, write only a paragraph, make it sparkling and vivacious, and above all things make your chirographv plain. Agricultural Journals. The Cultivator and Soil of the South have been re ceived. Every farmer ought to subscribe for oue or the other, or both. The Southern Eclectic- This Journal has been purchased by James M. Smythe, Esq., who will unite it and the Georgia Ho ne Gazette into one. and publish a journal un der the name of the Southern Eclectic & Home Gazette. It will be a largo quarto sheet, published at three dollars per annum, and will be well worth the subscription price, inasmuch as there will be a large quantity of reading matter given, and the characteristics of a magazine and weekly journal be blended in the same pages. A Great Talker Is a Great Liar. We believe it. Nothing gives us a meaner opin ion of a man than to find him a vain babbler—all tongue. Ilia only business on earth is to talk, and if he can’t find facts to enunciate, lie will soar into the regions of fancy, gather rain-drops from the clouds of imagination, and shower them down upon you in such profusion as will make you wish the speaker “on the other side of Jordan.” A constant palaver is no evidence of mind. It may produce this impression upon the crowd ; and the wordy man may console himself that ‘ Still they gazed, aud still the wonder grew That one small head could carry all lie knew,” but such is not the impression made upon wise j men. Dean Swift said that fluency of language was j no evidence of an abundance of ideas. This seems paradoxical, and is directly in the teeth of the generally received opinion. But the Dean's rea soning is good. For, says he, in substance, ho who has but one set of ideas has no hesitancy in enunciating them. But he who has many ideas will hesitate to which he shall give utterance, and will bo choice in the language ho uses to convoy them. lienee he will not be fluent, and will ap pear to hesitate for the want of an idea, when ho is only selecting from an abundance of ideas. "We recollect reading, when a boy at school, among the “Anecdotes, of Philosophers” in Jacobs’ Greek Reader, one, which translated, runs thus; “Arislottle, being annoyed by a certain youth, who related to him many marvellous tales, and who often asked ‘do you not marvel at what I say,’ replied: ‘Not at all; but I marvel that any one who has feet stays where you are.’ ” But there Ls another old book from which wo will give some extracts concerning babblers and vain talk. And we do so the more readily because we presume our readers hardly ever examine its pages: I* “Who is he that darkenth counsel bywords with out knowledge?” “Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.” “The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.” Doctors. A healthy man is a great abuser of doctors, and don’t believe they are any great things any way. But let him get sick, and his ideas undergo a rad ical change. We know these things from our own experience. A man’s opinion concerning physi cians form3 a pretty good thermometer, or hygie nometor, by which to tell the,.state of his health. Lord Byron understood this matter pretty well. He says: “Physieians'mend or end us Secundum artem, and though in health we sr.ecr, When sick we call them to attend us, Without the least propensity to jeer.” - • -< ■•«*- . er Mr. Toombs and direct taxation. Wo make the following extract from the proceed ings of the Senate: “Mu. Toombs opposed the amendment, hi the course of his remarks he said ho hoped in ten years there would not be a custom house in the United States. Mu. Caps.—llow will you collect the revenue? Mu. Toombs. —Directly from the people, who will hold those who expend t-o a strict accounta bility.” Thus it will be seen that Mr. Toombs is becoming more and more democratic. He has been getting straight for some time past, as we have several times recently contended. If lie is not careful, now, he will get so straight that ho will lean over on the other side. In the meantime, as wo admire Mr. Toombs as a man of intellect and a.bold and skillful defender of the South, we hope ho will not aid and abet the proposition to form a sectional party which will assuredly be a disunion organiza tion, but that he will have the manhood to throw himself with those men at the North who have so long stood up for our rights. The Latest News From Europe is the same that it has been for some time past, and that is—nothing. The following extract is as good a report of the news as can bo given:— Punch represents Nicholas as an ass who has ah lpy/ed himselt to be shut upJn a pound, aud all the European nations, conspicuous among which is John Bull, stand looking aver the fencejit him, but no one dares to get inside to put the bridle on. Ttirkevhas let- down one bar, aud, reaching a hand through, has got hold of his tail, and implores France and England to go in and take him by tlie in-lid but thev manifest a mbst decided dtsinclma timi t 1 tj‘l 1 j* »| 1 '; ! ii The Reason we don’t Write any leaders these days is that it is too hot for us to pen them, or for you to read them. Wo are endeavoring to adapt our editorials to the weather. When it gets cooler, and people are more disposed to read long articles we will return once more to the task of setting the President and his cabinet right. In the mean time they may go on batter ing down such contemptible little places as Grey town for their summer amusement until wo can find for them some more profitable employment. Our Thanks Are tendered the Comer Stone tor publishing our prospectus: Also to the Ilonorables Wni. C. Dawson and David A. Reese for public documents, and to the latter gentleman for some turnip seed of a now kind. We hereby take occasion to re turn our thanks to all who have subscribed for our paper aud to all who design doing so. M e thank all those who have boon of any service to us, and we thank those who have been of disservice to us that they have not done us any more harm than they have. In short, we are a very thankful man- And if wo should accidentally fail hereafter to ex press thanks to any one when thanks are due, let j him turn to this article, and herefrom draw just as ; many as he wants. The supply ought to lust a j long time. The Editor Os “The Smasher” is spending a few days in our town. Those who aro disposed to patronize the above clever lit lie paper, edited by a clever lit tle man. now have an excellent opportunity to subscribe. Keep Cool Keep cool, boys— if you can! That's the way we do —when ire can! The sun shines very- hot, and the dog star rages. The cry of the mercury is, “Ever upward,” and still higher it goes. Don’t get mad with any body. It is an outrage up on society to do so—a perfect bore. W ork hara to keep cool, both physically aud mentally. “Pull off your coat and roll up your sleeves, ’ to do so. Walk up and down the streets, and eat ice, begin ning at Prudden’s, then Leonard’s then Floyd’s, then Ike's, then Harwell & Graybill’s, then Leu j Carter's. Eat ice with all of them, and when you get to the last place, turn round and go back again, | still eating ice as you go. Laugh and jest and keep ;in a good humor. Be certain to do that. Oh! how hot town is! Tlie country is far pref | enable. Hear what Horace says about it: “Nuue viridi membra sub arbuto Stratus, nunc ad aquae lene caput sacrae.” Now stretched full length beneath the shade to dream, Now at the spring whence /lows some sacred stream. Does it not seem cool? Look at the picture and enjoy it: A man wandering iu the country first from the shade to the spring, and then to the shade again, where ho can lie down full length under a green tree, and enjoy himself. None of your nar row, cramped up, hot and dusty towns or villages but the broad, free and open country, where the zephyr fans your brow, and peace and comfort are j in your heart. But our poet in inviting his friend Tyndaris to | spend some time with him at his Sabine villa. says i ! in praise of the country : Tlic in reducta valle, Caniculae Vitabis sestus, et fide Teia Dices laborantes in uno Penelopen, vitreamque Circen. Here in a cool, sequestered vale The dog-star’s heat shall not prevail; But you your breathing harp shall string, Some amorous ditty there to sing, And in the shade sip Lesbian wine— No fear of mingling with the swine. Now this is nice, too. It is so cool, and so agree able, and the drink mentioned is a good article— innocentis Lesbii —innocent Lesbian. None of your bald-sace —none of your rot —(something.) wo forget what they call it, —but good, pure, inno cent wine. Who would not like, in these hot days, to be with some Horace in his Sabine villa ? Do Good. Ever}- body is bound to do something for his neighbor. We do not live for ourselves alone, but for others also. Selfishness Ls disgusting. It is the principle which actuates brutes. No man should behave in such a way as to make his actions say, “Just so I get along I don’t care for any tody else.” No body ought to say, when he goes to pray, “Oh! Lord have mercy upon me and my wife, my son John and his wife, wo four and no more.” It is a poor, pitiful, despicable prayer to pray, and should not be tolerated in any well regulated community. Do something for your neighbor. If you have no money to give him, heip him in hia business. If you can’t do this, speak a good word to hirti, And of him. And if you can’t talk, look at him kindly, and smile. Le v.ini know ho has your sympathies and it will prove a blessing to him and you. Mrs Poke Again. We to-day publish another letter from this lady. She wields a ready pen, and we hope our columns may be often adorned by her productions. We trust she will excuse us for having published both of her letters. But they pleased us so well wo could not help it. [COMMUNICATED.] Scrubtown, the 2d of Aug. 1854. Mistur Editur: When I rote yu that letter the uthcr day, I had no noskun you was a gwinc to make a fool uv yoreself and me too, by printin uv it. Jcems ses as how I rote it just to get my name in print ; an tlie ole manses as how he is very sorry Ise a gwine to get down as low as them northern wimmen what writes for the newspapers, sich as Mrs. .Par tington and Fanny Fern and them.— An then he sed he wouldn’t be sur prised es I was to got to warin of the trousers. An it’s a pitty, Mr. Editur, at ween you and me, an the post, that I liav nt worn them thar articles all my life; for, el I had, things would have gone no a great deal better than they has. So, every nite since my letter was printed in your paper, the old man, who is just about as full of devilment as Jeems is, takes his britches and locks them up in his trunk, jest, he ses, to keep me from getting uv cm in the rnornin. Well, Mr. Editur, you can tell the folks, (though you must be certain not to print this letter,) that they had me up in the church last Sunday on spi cion. Thars ole Tom Collins what’s class-leader in our church, and who is a rriity good ole man too, only he is a Icetle too keen in a boss swap, thet brought me before the ciety for goin in the grocery that nite, and becase lie sed how I cust and took a game on that table what I scribed in my utljer letter. Brother Collins made out that them wastin' reasons he had me up,.- - - - ' ■. But I. don’t believe wun word ov-it; becase lie has been more’n half mad with me ever since his sun Sam corted my darter Betsy Ann, and coodn’t kum it. You see, Mr. Editur, Sam is a rite clever fellow, but then the stock he cum ov didn’t silt© my sagacity. And fur him to cum marryin in our family, it was jest a leetle more than I cood stan. So me and the ole man both put our vetow on the procecdins. Betsy Ann made out she was pow erfully in luv with Sam, and I raly think tlic chile must have bin; for while the courtmcnt was agwine on, herappetiglit forsook her almost, entire ly, and she never cood bring herself to eat morc’n two plates of col lards and four rashers 1 of middlin. She pin ed away smartly too, and got down to be nutliin but a .shadder. She scace wayd 175 pounds. When the moon was a shinin she used to walk about down tow’rds the cow-pen, and sing some of the most lemancholly himes you most© ever beam. She maid sum songs herself about her tru luv. Wun ov the verses went sum how this way : My true love’s a pretty man As ever you did see, And I will marry liim of I can, Es I don't blast m 6. And Mr. Editur, es you was to see Sam you would say that Betsy Ann has got a most powerful imagination, an orter rite poetry very well. For among all of Sam’s vartues, and fail ins too, he never was accused afore ov bein pretty. For he is sartinly wun ov the most lantern-jawed, bandy-shank ed creaturs that ever you seen yet. — But that’s jest the w r ay with a purty gal. For they always takes to ugly men —especially es the gal are smart and got a poetical temperament, like Betsy Ann. An I tell you my ole man aint purty himself. Well the thing wurked on so fur a long time, an I begin to git rite sorry for Betsy Ann. The poor chile seem ed to suffer so much, and said she cood not slope uv nites. But Jeems kept a devlin his sister, and sed how he lieerd sum powerful snorin cummin frum her bed sumtimes. Then Betsy Ann would set up a cryin, and her eyes was rolled up in sieh a way that she looked jest like the pictur of inner sense and sufferin. And as I was a savin, I begin to git rite sorry for her. I didn’t know what to do. Thinks I it will kill our darter es we doesn’t let her and Sam marry. But, ses I, also, I had reether foller her to lmr grave than to lot her disgrace the fam lv by marryin them as is not her equals. And the Collinses never was equal to the Pokes, for their pigs nev er growed as large as ours and thar warnt as many ov cm. And they nev er wore as fine clothes as our fokes, neither. Wun day Betsy Ann was a sit-tin down by me re ad in of a yaller-kivered book, what she called a novel, and what she had took to readin sence she fell in love with Sam. The chile lookt so pale an interestin, and her eyes rolled up so much jest like them in the pictur of tlic Vargin Mary in the bible, that I busted out a cryin and shoutin. Thar sot Betsy Ann payin no attenskun to me, but her eyes sot alicl gU/bn up iutke elements. It looks to me like I never seed fuiy body a lookin so much like an frillgci /R my i life. Thinks I sumthin must be dun. So I got up and bluwed the dinner horn for the ole man, knowin as how that wood bring him home sooner than any thing else in tlic work For I nev er yet knowed him to be slow cummin to dinner. But all this time Betsy Ann seemed to be gittin wuss. Bime by the ole man cum to the house, and I went out to mete him. Ses he, “Is dinner reddy,” ses he. Ses I “no” ses I, “but thar is sumthin the matter with Betsy Ann.” When the ole man found out din ner warnt reddy, lie kummenst to cuss powerfully. But by the time he got in the house lie seed sumthin was the matter with Betsy Ann, and he begin to git skeered too. Thar she still sot with her eyes still rolled up a lookin jest like she was a gwine to be transla ted rite up into heaven. The ole man could scase keep from cry in. I never seed him do so afore. Ses he “what’s the matter with you darter?” But Betsy Ann didn’t say a wurd. So he took her up in his arms, and carried hur and laid hur on the bed. Pretty soon she begin to roll and tumble about, and we got the camphire and made her smell it, arid gin her sum to drink. But matters kept a gittin wuss, and Betsy Ann put hur lmns down about her waste, and peered to have a powerful pain. It looked like her hart was a gwine to break rite in two. When the camphire done no good, we gin her sum peppermint, and sum number six, and sum lodmon, in a powerful chance of sage tea, and rubb ed her with Had way’s Roddy Relief Bimeby she kummenst to heave, and then she''fhrowed up about a peck of green apples and pi unis and sich, which gals always will eat when they’s in luv, an then she vgot better, and went to slepe. . iSes I, “ole man,” scs I, “Betsy Ann’s 'V. love will kill tierWf duz not git better.” The old man Said bo begin to think so too., Thrn we sot our beds together to see if wc coodn’t fall upon sum plan to weifi her from Sam. At last we concluded -die had better travel for her health, land so we sent her to camp-mcetin. She staid away gum four or live days, and when she kum home a young preccher brought her home iu his buggj, and she has been gittin better of her luv for Sam ever sence. Your Iren, Ally Poke. Not;/ Bony. —You must not print this letter, but es you duz, you must make all the things rite afore you do it. S. P.

I did re mark, in regard to one mechanic, I spoke it to his face—though it did not occur to me that he was a mechanic at the time—that “he ought to bo drum med out of town,” or words to that effect. 1 have made no remark iu regard to mechanics as a class, and what I said had no application to any one ox-1 cept Mm to whom it was addressed, and that, not because he was a mechanic. That class of society are as deserving and respectable as any other, when they, deport themselves properly—and no man ap preciates them more highly than I do, who am the son of a mechanic. ‘A. A.
