BUYING LONDON AND PARIs.-A rich old
Edistoese planter, living in the rice making
part of the State, after having made large
fortune by living in the rice fields and
swamps with his negroes, and never going
anywhere, nor seing anything, outside of his
domestic affairs, came to the conclusion, as it
was fashionable among the aristocracy, to
send his son John to Europe. So after a
good deal of time, trouble, and expense,
John got ready for the start, and when he did
get ready, why he started, in course he did.
"John is gone to Europe! Was the old
mans pride and boast to every one; it was
the first thing in the morning and the last at
night; but as everything must have an end, so
had Johns trip to Europe. He returned
home safe and sound. The language of our
hero smacked pretty strong Of the negro dia-
lect, and his JOY at Johns safe arrival knew
no bounds. "Well, John," says he, "you
been to Europe, eh"
ayes, sir" was Johns reply.
"Wel, how you like 'um!"
"Liked the trip very much," says john
"Very much pleased with London and Paris;
like them two cities more than all the rest,
says John.
"You like 'um, eh?"
ayes, sir"
"Well, buy 'um for you, darn if l don't!'

Athens, Friday. June 9, 1854.

ABOLITION EXCITEMENT AT SYRACUSE
A tremendous excitement was caused at Syr-
acuse, N. Y, on Friday, by a telegraphic des-
patch received by Messrs. Cobb g. Wheaton,
abolitionists, stating that fugitive slave IN
charge of the U. s. Marshal, on the way
South, would arrive in the 81 o'clock train.
The alarm bells were rupg, and crowd OF
more than 2OOO turned out and attacked the
cars upon their arrival.
A negro was caught, but it proved that he
was passenger and a resident of the place.
No fugitive was discovered, and the report'is
now thought to have been hoax.

pose of thoroughly testing that improve

movement lately, put presume the increas-
ing duties of the management have for the
time attracted their attention TO other mat

provement can be made by moderate out

be much advanced by its immediate adop'
ton. At the time it was first introduced

have no doubt that it would have been in
operation on some of the Eastern roads
long before this, had not the President of
the New York Central, promised to give it
an early trial. This improvement claims to
obviate the rapid depreciation of rails, ma.
chinery, ears, &c, and of rendering the mo.
ton of a train. almost exempt from the noise
which is now so annoying to travellers.

The Indians on our frontier have COM
menced war in good earnest. Itappears that
"Wild Cat" has united all the Indians under
his flag, to make general war upon US. The
Indians have made simultaneous attack
upon our people all along the Rio Grande,
and have approached this.city to within ten
or fifteen miles. They attacked n Govern.
ment train within six miles of Fort Ewell,
killed six men and took off all the mules in
the train, about eighty-four in number They
have also whipped our troops in an engage
ment since.
We learn to-day they are infesting the Ell
Paso road, and will, no doubt, do great dam
age. From all we can hear, we believe they
will destroy, for a time, the trade of Ell Paso
with this place, which now amounts to large
sum. 1t is particularly unfortunate to hap
pen now, as the trade all along the Rio
Grande has just been revived. Without the
government acts with energy, our trade and
settlements will be broken up west OF US, and
a general war made upon the whole northern
and western boundary Of this State.

SOUTHERN FABRIcs.-Some Of our Colum-
bus Factories, says the Enquirer, have been
in the habit of sending pretty large orders to
New York and Philadelphia for more than
twelve months past, which goes to prove that
we are no way behind the rest of the world,
either in the facilities for furnishing goods OF
asuperior quality, or for rates as favorable for
the lar &c purchaser as those at which he can
buy the same goods nearer his own door
And the cream of the circumstance does not
stop here judging from single transaction
that occurred during the summer OF '53. A
bale of goods manufactured in this city, was
sent to Philadelphia and sold. The next
steamer from that city brought back the iden-
tical bale, which had been purchased by a
merchant from the interior Of Georgia, and
who, on being told that the cloth was made
in Columbus, remarked, he thought it was
the cheapest and bost piece Of goods of the
Kind that he had purchased for years past.

A POLISH RENEGADE TO LIBERTY.

A POLISH RENEGADE TO LIBERTY.
We take this item from the New York
True American. If its correspondent is tell
ing the truth, Qhere is no reason to doubt
it, he should expose this Jesuit and Locofo-
co pet thoroughly. Justice to his injured
countrymen now among us, demands it. He
should do so, moreover, to let the American
people see how easily imported imposters-
traitors to God and their country--can be
smuggled into Office, even in Washington
City.
We are informed by a correspondent in
Philadelphia, that Pole, named Thishuffsky,
was appointed to an office in the Treasury
Department some five years since on account
of being refugee from tyranny, and victim
to Austrian absolutism. Last year he was
appointed to superior position in the Patent
Office on account of being good Democrat.
Being Roman Catholic, and under the espe-
cial patronage of the Jesuits at Georgetown,
the man, although but five years and some
months in this country, ne j. enabled to hold
lucrative Offices. - r<-
The political career of this man in Europe
is well known; he was an Austrian clerk in
Austrian Poland. During the conspiracy of
1916, he entered city where insurgents had
taken refuge, and succeeded in becoming their
leader. For Iribe of $1,000 he delivered
the town up to the Austrian sOldiery. To
escape popular vengeance, he was sent to this
country to be here baptized as political
refugee, in order to hold the best Offices with
in the gift of government, attainable by for
egners, for the greatest length of time.
This sympathy of our administration for
foreign, and especially Austrian reprobates,
may, in some measure, account for the gradual
detestatlon in which the existing cabinet is
held by every oyal minded true American.

BETTER LAUGH q RY.-So We say.
There's no use in rubbing ones eyes and
blubbering over all ms that flesh IS heir to.
The best way to stand to the rack and take the
good things and the evil as they come along,
with that philosophic exclamation, better
luck next time"
Do you find disappointment lurking in ma
ny prizel Then throw it away, and laugh
at your own folly for so long pursuing 1t.
Does fame elude your grasp! Then laugh
at the fools that are often her favorites. She
is of no consequence, and never buttered
piece of bread or furnished man new suit
Of clothes.
Is your heart broken by some maiden -
Then thank your stars that it is not your
neck, and make the welkin ring with a
hearty laugh. It lessons the weight Of ones
heart amazingly.
Take our advice under all circumstances,
"laugh dull care away" Dent hs in hurry
to get out of the world-it's very good
world, considering the creatures that inhabit
it, and Is about as full Of fun as il can be-
You never saw man cut his throat with a
broad grin on his face; it's grand preventive
of suicide. There is philosophy ard good
sense, too, in aughing-it shows a clear con-
science, and sincere gratitude for the things
of life, and elevates us above the brute crea.
ton. So here goes for humor, and we put
in for our share while the ball is rolling.
