iNDEPENDENT IM!ESS. ** Without Fe&V, Favor or Aftectioa.’* EATONTON, G A. SATURDAY MORNING, NOV. 25.1854 Money Wanted- We hope those indebted to us, tit subscription or for job work and advertising, .will pay up, as soon as they can conveniently do so. Christnnvs is coming, and wo shall need the Money due us to pay our debts. ‘ ’ * ■ —♦.» ; *>■ Prejudice la looking over a FrviicU periodical a day or two ago, we came across the following extract front the letters c*f Fenoloa to the Duke of Bourgogne. We "ranslate it for the Press, because we like it so 'veil: “ Above all tilings, guard against prejudice. It ban enemy you carry with you every where, oven to your grave. It will be a'spy in your most secret »wi«<els, and will betray you if you listen to it. “ihvjudico will prevent your embracing the trrast iiajxstaut oj»jyjrtunitiea, It gives you iueliua tious and aversions from iniaucy, destructive of .ur best interests. It makes you rash in deciding sue most important mat tors, with the least shadow <>f reason. It obscures vour talent, .jutralyses vour courage, destroys vonr equanimity, and makes you ' tr.bci.ilc, despicable, and intolerable, Mr. Knight’s Senium, . We have never listen.si to a sermon delivered widi more unction and power than that preached hr the Rev. John Knight, several sabbaths ago, from the text, “ For God hath not appointed us unto wrath.’ 1 " While wo could not agree with the reverend divine iu every thing he said, yet we are prepared to admit that he displayed as much abili a-ul fervid, native eloquence, iu maintaining l»is 'cause, as we ever heard fall from the lips of any man engaged upon the same theme. HU reason ing was fair, his logic correct, (admitting his premises) iiis convictions honest, his language glowing and eloquent. lie surpassed himself. Mr. Knight has the first great element of do me nee—honesty of heart. Then ho has stormy passions—brought into subjection, of course, hut 'nevertheless stormy, lie says he is no scholar, and has no polish about him. We add, lie has force, of which polish is too often destructive. Hence polish can be dispensed with, especially when vigor must yield to it. Mr. Knight preached on the occasion we speak of with emphasis, or with what is sometimes called rim. His words went home like thunderbolts. They fell like lightning upor the gnarled oak. You might see the storm gathering, like, clouds, upon his brow—his eye flashed—his lif^uivered —his tail gaunt form towered ■ "In shape and gesture proudly eminent, ’’ — and then came the crash in words that breathed rand thoughts that burned. For nearly two hours .he preached, and still his congregation were willing .and anxious to hear more. Take him altogether, -we think there is no minister in Georgia who can preach with more power than Mr. Knight, when properly aroused. Tin's Reverend gentleman lias preached iu this county for the last two years, and according to a rule in the Methodist discipline, he will have to leave us. another year. The whole community -will part with him witii regret, and those for -whom he goes to preach next year will be favored with an honest, able, and zealous minister. The Mails in Eatonton- We have a daily mail line here, by stage, from Madison, and one by Rail Road from Hut the mail facilities are not more than half as great as the means would justify. The stage and the cars both get hero about the time our people are going to dinner, and they both lcavo just about the time our people finish their dinners. Persons here frequently get letters with the request t j answer by return maiL But there is no such thing as doing so, unless they fast —to say noth kg of praying—and then are very fast , besides. For by the time they can read their letters, the ears and .stage are off again. And even if they have time to write answers, the mails are closed, and they cannot get their letters in. By the way, are uot the mails closed here before they are allow ed bylaw to be closed? If we have a daily stage, let us have its advan tages. And above all things, if we have a Rail Road, let us have the facilities which may be so-* * ;red by a Rail Road. Our people here have been taxed l.c&rilv to build it—they get no interest on • heir money—let them at least have it run in such i way that if they get no money, they may reap its fullest in - mail and freight trans : rx.nation. Wilkes Republican. Wo do, brother .Sneed, most heartily; and did’nt mean any thing by it, from the beginning—only to plead it as an offset: and as you have dismissed yc/.ir suit, wo withdraw our plea. Wo will tako a drink (of water) the first time wo meet. Have We Any Mails ? It seems to be useless to complain of the irregu larities in tlie mails, so for a/having these irregu. Jarities corrected is concerned. Still, as regards us individually, wo wish our subscribers abroad to un derstand that it is not our fault that they do not get their papers regularly. They are regularly mailed here, and the. difficulty is on the way some where. Take Atlanta, for instance: A subscriber in that place, told us a few days ago that lie fre quently got two of our papers a L a time; one for tho current week, and one for the week before, having failed to get the one for the week before ix t the proper time. Here it is plain, the Press must rest a week at some Post Office, through the neglect of the Post Mastsr. Is it at Madison? Tho above, so far as regards our crt/i paper. And now about the papers which come to this place, via Augusta and Madison, AY e have not known a single week this year, that we now recol lect, in which tho papers north of this, came to their subscribers regularly. There are merchants and business men here, who pay their money for daily paper* in Augusta, Charleston, and, perhaps b'ew York- It is to their interest to get tlteso pa jK:rs regularly, but to all intents aud purposes they |re little better than weeklies, with the addi-, tjon on tho debit side, of the vexation of p./ing' for a daily paper, expecting U/jfet it, and being al-, most dailv disappointed. Me have been trying to get tho New York Jisraltt dailv, and having daily communication— except Sundays—with Augusta, wbertT the Southern mail is distributed, we had a right to expect it liut we never get our Herald without getting threo or four at a time. We can not even get our daily Atlanta. Intelligencer regu larly. Now, wo presume that the Post Masters in' fault care very little about those inconveniences to tho people of Katonton. But wo can. tell them one thing; there are some of us hgre who are de tormined to ferret out where tho fault lies, and re port the delinquent or delinquents to thoßost Mas tor General, and see whether or not fie # “PP’Y the correction. * ‘ |pi t .. , * Steam-ship Canada.

Dan,- iel, who resides about six miles south of Marietta, in Cobb county, has raised jdn twelve acres, of what is commonly called branch bottom laud, the amount of two®: hundred barrels, one bushel and one pack of corn this Tear.- — lie measured the best acre, which yielded one hundred bushels, but the twelve acres only-averaged eighty-three bushels and one peek per acre. This land was originally considered of no value, being nothing'hut soft mud and cow mires, but after being ditched, be came dry and soft, and is the most beautiful and easy land to cultivate of anv in the country. And for the proof the above statement as to the yield of said land, the following certifi cate is .appended, viz: We, the undersigned, do certify that we saw and attended the measuring off of one acre of the land, above men tioned, and it measured one hundred bushels, three peeks and three quarts of corn. Daniel Wright, "William R. Daniel, Abner Camp, WilliamT. Johtwon. We would add that this is truly great cropping, considering that we liAd a douglit of three months* in the midst of crop time, this year—sufficient in ducement we would think, at least to set all the farmers to clearing and ditching their bottom lands.— Cherohee Advocate, 20th. r Mr. William R. Jackson, of Balti more, has invented a detached cabin for steamers and ships, which is so ar ranged as to be readily detached from a sinking vessel. It may be construct ed to afford safety for several hundred persons, or more than one may be ad justed to* the deck of a large ship. The American speaks favorably of the invention. The agents of M’lle Rachel have com pleted their arrangements Jsbr her ap pearance in New 5: ork, at the Me tropolitan Theatre, and they are now negotiating for one of the New Orleans Theatres. Gen. Sam. Houston has consented to lecture in the Boston Course of Lec tures on slavery during the coming winter, on condition that he is to treat the subject as lie deems just, with out reference to the presumed opinions of his bearers. Kansas Territory.— Kansas ter ritory is two hundred and seven miles wide, and averages six hundred miles in lengtd, capable of division into three States the size of Ohio. The Washington Organ , anew Know-Nothing paper, appeared in that city on Monday. The price of fruit in Malaga has ad vanced, and it is expected that the shipments to the United States will be one third less than those of last sea son. A few days ago a young lady nam ed Tomkins, in Cinciuatti, fell dead just as she had finished dressing for a ball. £ We notice that in consequence of the high rates of paper, the newspapers iQ various sections of the country are ineresaing the prices of subsciption and advertisimg. The Evansville (Ind.) papers have been raised from 10 to 15 cents per week ; the Toledo (Ohio,) Blade from 6 to §8 per year; the Co lumbus Statesman from 10 to 121-2 cents per week ; and the Ravenna (Ohio,) Democrat proposes to increase its price from $1.50 to $2 per annum. The publishers of weekly papers in the State of New-Jersey also contem plate raising their subscription pri ces from sl.si)fto $2 per year—the pres, ent prices net remunerating them. In Massachusetts the Know Noth ings have succeeded in placing their members in all the elective offices with tne exception of seven scats in the pop ular branch of the State Legislature.— The rusty backs ofpoiticians of the old parties have been switched off the track, tumbled down the embankment, ground to powder, and fired off in the cannon of the victorious-K. N’s. One of the results of this political tornado will be the election of a United States Senator from the members of that re cent] y mysterious Order, to take the place vacated by Edward Everett, and now occupiedby Julius. Rockwell, by the Governor’s appointment. T,lie,last mail from California brings intelligence thatthc Supreme Court of the.. Sthte has decided that the Chinese'’ fall under the meanirg of a clause in the Constitution of California, which says that no black or mulatto person shall be allowed to give evidence in favor of or against a white man. Florida Senator.— The Demo cratic party have a decided major ity in the Florida Legislature, ami from the tone of the Press, we have reason to believe that^the nd States Senator from that State, as successor to Hon, Jackson Mob*, TON, — —— Hf The town o£ Petgrsburg, - Texas, was Tecchtly sold for debt, for less thbn a hundred dollars.

The foundry of Chirk Mills, the ar tist, was destroyed by fire in Washing ton, last week, together with his cele brated model of Jackson. Fortunate ly several eastings of the statue had been placed outside* the building.'—- This accident will retard the comple tion ot the great works lie bad commen ced: —the equestrian statues of Wash ington and Jackson. Nearly every ship arriving upon our shores from Europe, reports having lost passengers by Cholera. Among the vessels lately arrived at New York, are tlie ships Coosawattee, of Savannah, from Bremen, which lost twenty three of her passengers, and the Canton, from Antwerp, which lost twenty American Ostrich. —Two speci mens of the American Ostrich, male and female, were recently killed near Fort Desmoines, lowa. They are dev scribed as four and a half feet long and five feet in height, with bills six inch es long, straight and very sharp. They resemble in most points the ostrich of Africa. One thousand dollars had been offered for them. The propeller Bucephalus foundered in Saginaw bay, Lake Huron, during a severe gale, and seven of her crew were drowned She was loaded with corn for Buf falo. The vessel and cargo are a to tal loss. Morgan, who shot Parsons, tlie edi tor of the Tyler (Texas) Telegraph , about 18 months ago, was tried at the late term of the Cass Court, in that State, and fined one cent. Rather too cheap for and editor’s life, dreadfully underrated even as they are. The United States Arsenal property at Rome, N. Y. was sold at auction on Wednesday, under the direction of Captain Abeel and Major Symington. The arsenal and magazine buildings and lot were purchased by Alva Mudge, for $12,600, and the dwellings and adjoining grounds, by Thomas Abeel at $5,800. It is officially announced that the Quebec and Richmond railway will be in readiness for business on tlie 27th inst. The members of the Canadian Legislature were invited to pay a visit to the tubular iron bridge over the Chandler river on Saturday last. The Grass Valley (Cal.) Telegraph learns that Lola Montez, in consequence of ill health, is intending to leave her pleasant country residence in that place, arid spend the winter at the Sandwich Islands. As far as the returns have been re ceived from Wisconsin, 12 Fusionists, 9 Democrats and 1 Independent have been elected to the Senate, and 40 Fu sionists, 24 Democrats and 6 Independ ents to the House. A Mormon settlement is being made in Kansas. About fami lies go out in charge of Elder Erastus Snow, one of the Twelve, to a point of about 100 miles west of the town of Kansas. Matthew Connor, an employee on the Watertown and Rome Rail Road, was run over by tlie cars and instantly killed, in Rome, N. Y. on Wednesday afternoon, where he resided. The Medical Department of the Uni* versity of Nashville opened week be fore last, with nearly two hundred stu dents. The introductory lecture was delivered By Dr. Jennings. The Bishop of London is said to be the owner of the Paddington estate, which is worth the enormous sum of a hundred thousand pounds sterling per year, ■. In Michigan, to the State Senate 24 Fusionists and 10 Democrats have been elected. To the House 45 Fu sionists and 27 Democrats are elec ted. The Utica and Black River Rail Road will be completed from Utica Jo Trenton, about the Ist of December, and two trains are to run daily during the winter. The official returns of Delaware give Causey, Know Nothing, 753 majority for governor, and Cullen, Know Noth ing, 504 majority for Congress. , - The Governor of Virginia has ap pointed Thursday, the 23d of Novem ber, as a day of Thanksgiving, Col. Thomas K. Huson, for years a resident of Marietta, Gra., died on the lLthinst. . . A Desperate Game Cock. A re markable instance of the daring of a game cock lately occured at Melton Mowbray, to a young man named Hill. He, was endeavoring to catch a hen when acock flew at him from the wall, striking one of his spurs in his neck just behind the ear, while with the other spur lie, cut his ' left eyebrow nearly off. Hill was knocked down, and from the great, quanity of blood which flowed, it was at first apprehended that the j ugular rein, had bee n cut. — Eng lish 'paper. ~ • -f- . -r—— -i - A Mischievous Parrot. —in bos tofi a parrot that, was kept aboard a ship, was much interested, in watcliing the drays that came to leave goods on the wharf. One day the driver of a dray left his team and went down in to the cabin of the ship. The parrot watched him, and when he was out of sight began to imitate his talk to the horses. ‘ Whoah ! back, there—back, 1 say !’ exclaimed the bird. The hors es backed ; and the parrot encouraged bv the success of his experiment con tinued to scream ‘ Back ! back, I say !’ until the team backed over the wharf into tlie water, and one of the horses was drowned. I ought not to have omitted that in my meanderings in Tallapoosa coun ty, Alabama, I passed over the classic ground of Youngville, in the vicinity of which resides the veritable original of the real “ Simon Suggs.” I was gratified to'learn- that “ Simon,” or ra ther Capt. Young, is at present an affa ble, polite old gentleman, plain but neat in his attire, and of a prepossess ing address and demenaor. He is highly social in disposition, gracefully winning the admiration of all who seek his hospitality, which is cheerfully ex tended to all who visit him, whether influenced by curiosity, by respect for the man, or by an ambition which as pires to form the acquaintance of so no table a character “ as Simon Suggs.” I did not call on “ Simon,” my curi osity being “ perfectly satisfied” from the flattering desription given of him bj his neighbors. Badly Mistaken. —Some./w? thief undertook to raise the wind during the Knoxville fair, (at night,)by knock ing our brother of the Chattanooga Ga zette down with a cudgel, and then ri fling his pockets. Friend Parham thinks the “fellow mistook him for another man.” So do we. That is the “ fellow,” —the robber—mistook him for an individual who carried a lit tle change with him ; when 10, and be hold, he found outlie was robbing at a printer ! Mistaken, certainly.
