that Professor Shepherd has discovered within
one hundred miles of that city what is termed
the ''Geyser Fountains" where may be, seen

adyices from Hayti, that the revolutionary move
ment which occurred there a short time ago,
and which contemplated the completes subver-
SION of the imperial government, originated in
Socialism. The plot, it viii be recolleeted, was
detected in time to prevent its execution, and
several of the conspirators, including one Of the
members of the cabinet, were apprehended and
shot Emperor Faustin, in very sensible pro-
'clamation issued on the occasion, says that the
guilty project Of the conspirators assaulted not
only the form of the government, but aimed at
nothing short OF the entire overthrow of society

ANCIENT ALMANAc.--0m friend Alexander,
of the Charlottesville Republican, has sent us
by mail an almanac of the year 1776. 1t was
printed in Worcester, Massachusetts, by |.
Thomas, and edited by Samuel Stearns, stu
dent in Physic and Astronomy" II was the
property Of a Mrs. Storer, of Boston; and a
diary for the year, Q776,) kept by her, appa-
rently with great care, is inserted between the
leaves. There is also at the commencement a
short memorandum for the preceding year, ap-
parently copied from former diary, among the
entries Of which we notice the following: "June
17th.--I went to board at Nathaniel Fishers.
Charleston burnt and Bunker Hill taken" With
so much simplicity and among variety OF mat
ters appertaining entirely to her own affairs,
does this revolutionary matron record that tre-
mendous event which was the signal for rending
the British empire in twain! g.t
From the diary, which, except in the solitary
instance we have just mentioned, is entirely
personal, we learn something about the wages
Of labor at that day in Massachusetts, Thus,
''John Dix comes to live with me at G14 per an
num-" (about $65. Redmond Barny comes
to live with me at thirty-two shillings month, !"
equal to $64 She pays Mrs Fullerton for
keeping my garden nine weeks, 66 shillngs and 6
pence" about five dollars month 1t contains
among other things, Public roads, and Stages
W put up dC, un ACCOUNT VI tne DaItIe OF Lex
ington; description of Tory, and Whig a
Bacchanal on the Earth's drinking Healths;
History showing how the charters in Old and
New England were taken away in the reign of

RUNS advice to the: soldiers, showing the good
effects of spirituous liquors when they are used
with moderation, and their pernicious effects
when used to excess, with a cure for drunken
ness" &c. t.2 "...
We learn from this Almanac that the 4th of
July, 1776, the day on which independence was
declared, came on Thursday. 1t was customary
for Almanac makers to affix to each day o pro-
phecy of the weather. 1t is proper to observe
that they hit the nail on the head on this occa-
sion, for opposite to the 4th of July they wrote
"thunder." 1t did thunder, but not exactly in
the style prescribed by the astronomer.

The Er eLNH PosT OFFICE n Ey OapEa sys.
TIN In pursuance OF authorit given to the Post
master General by he hei postage law of the
lat Copeies Mr.. Hal declare the s. ests,
avenues, highways and bywsys Of New York,
post ONCE routes, and has established number Of
letter boxes for the transmission Of letters through
out the city, one Of which is placed in the Herald
office, ON the northeast corner of Nassau and Full
ton streets. Our citizens were much in need of this
convenience, and We learn that they are beginning
to properly appreciate it. This system will, no
doubt, soon work Is satisfactorily Is could be
desired.
1t is to be regretted that the post Office money
order plan, which exists in England his not before
thus been introduced into the Uait. d States, and
it to be hoped that it will be at early day. Be-
sides being great accommodation to the public,
it might be made the mean, Of increasing the
nue. Of the department No one who wishes to
transmit small sum of money, varying from ten
to fifty dollars, to distant pla,e, would object to
paying government small per centage for draft
which would be as good as gold in any part of the
country There Is an immense business done this
way in England. During the year 1850, according
to the published accounts, no less sum than
GS494 4o was sent in this manner through the post
ofces OF Great Britain, at profit TO the government
OF ever twenty thousand dollars for commission and
of nearly sixty thousand doll for orders that were
not called for, making an aggregate profit Of eighty
thousand dollars, i'll the course of one year, to the
British post office, for this species of service.
Now, why should not this money order business
be introduced into American Post Office system!
The revenue which the department would derive
from it might be small, but the service would be of
great pubic convenience aud utility. Considerable
trouble, and annoyance, and risk are incurred in
sending small remlttances to distant places, by
procuring bankers certificates, or sending oank-
note bills, which might all be obyiated if we had
the Post Office money order system which is con-
Quoted so successfully in England. We hope
Congress viii give their attention to the subject
at the next session.

Politics IN GEoRoM.-As the time approaches
for the election to take place in this State the
test grows warmer. There is, in fact, no difference
Of opinion between the contending parties. The
Union party hold to the same principle that the
State rights party advocate, and the contest is
brought down TO preference Of men. The State
rights party refuse to support Mr.. Cobb, because
lie is the nominee Of the whig convention. Both
parties agree as to the abstract right Of State
10 secede from the Union, though neither
in favor Of such movement, either Immediate or
prospective. The Savannah Reputliean, the organ
Of the whg or Union party, supports Mr.. Cobb,
because Of his devotion TO the Of the CON-
promise, and is followed by nearly the whole whig
press of the State. Mr.. Cobb stands aloof, in his
position, from all the prominent democrats Of the
state, and from many OF tho wings. The position Of
Gen. Mcdonald, as defined in a late letter, IL pre-
cisely the same as was adopted by the State Con-
vention. In the State, each party is sangune of
success but appearances are decidedly in favor Of
Gen Mcdonald. 1t is impossible, however, 20 con-
lecture what the result may be- So far as the
Presidency is concerned, no movement has been
made by the whig party, except determined oppo-
sition to the nomination election OF General
Scott, who, as the Savannah Republican, alleges is a
member and part Of the free soil party fthe North,
and consequently cannot receive the support Of
Southern wings. Daniel S Dickinson or James Bu-
chansn would be preferred by the whole whig party
of the South before General Scott any other
didste identified with the Seward party Of the
North.

people to leave
We would impress upon all who have any money,
to lose time in proceeding places -here there
is work ready for them, and to stay no longer in
this city than Is necessary for them to pack their
luggage. Many Of them, no doubt, judging from
the present warm weather, think that the seyeri-
ties Of an American winter are triaing, and hat
even without means they would be able to get
through it by hook or by crook. Those who
