How Nh STEPHENS Cor "Skr BACK" IN HAN
COCK CousrY, GEoRaIl.--Mr. Stephens, ofGeorgia,
intoxicated by the fdlsome but hollow praises Of
his old enemies, the Democrats, seems TO have lost
all sense and discretion, and holds lofty and de-
6ant port towards all who do not think with him,
little calculated to win new, or retain old friends,
We observe, however that he is occasionally
tlught lesson that well improved, may be Of
service TO him. A few days since he made a
speech Of more than two hours In length at Spar
"a, Hancock county. After ii was finished his
auditors having been organized into meeting BY
appointment Of chairman and secretary, series
Of resolutions were offered by COL Thomas Turner,
ia support Of the principles Of the Know-Nothing
party.
They were opposed by Mr.. stephens with much
seal and vehemence. Upon the vote, the chair
man thought by the sound that there was a ma
,orIty Of noes but a division having been called
for, and those in favor Of them being told 70 rise,
"tho resolutions were passed by large majority"
90 Gays the report Of the proceedings which we
end in the Milledgeville Recorder.

An INTERESTING BooK.--By reference to an ad-
vertisement in this paper readers will perceive
that James T. Lloyd & Co., of Cincinnati, are
about to publish book full of horrors-being no
lass than record OF all the steamboat disasters
on the Western Waters during the last forty years.
BY these disasters 100000 lives have been lost !!
Murder en- larger scale has not been committed

Hole OF De Quincey's Murder Considered as
one of the Fine Arts had he lived in the West
ern country, would never have fallen into fit Of
melancholy for want Of murders. lie might have
enjoyed his favorite pastime almost every day Of
tho year. Though perhaps the tooling would
have been Objectionable after all, and that would
have disguised him. All of our readers probably
have been called upon to deplore the death Of
friends or relatives who have been destroyed on
the Western rivers or lakes, since the introduction
Of steam in those waters. Such is the cave in
every State in the URion-and hence the forth
coming publication of Lloyd 4 Co. must meet
with an unprecedented sale.
