Washington's Birthday in Mississippi.

Washington's birthday, the 22d of Febru-
ary, was celebrated in Mississippi, with ap-
propriate honors. Whatever may be said by
northern sectionalisls derogatory to this State,
Mississippi is as national and patriotic as any
State in the Union. BY joint resolution Of
both houses of the Legislature, HIashiagton'S
Fdre,ceH Address was read in the hall of the
House. The Governors mansion was thrown
open for public reception, and salutes were
fired at sunrise and noon. We publish let
ter from our Mississippi correspondent, writ
ten on that day, which is too good to be in
jured by being little late in coming TO hand
JACKSON, Mss, Feb'y, 22d, 1856.
MR. EDITOR Il avail myself of the leisure
afforded by the holiday, Washington's Birth
day, to write you few lines.
What subject can give grander theme than
the life of the Father of our country1 The
universal reverence which is yielded to the
name of Washington, is second only to that
rendered to the Saviour of the world. What
other character on the pages of history ex-
human nature, without any alloy! We think
our best men excusable for sowing a few wild
oats in their youth, taking spree occasion
ally, oven in old age, or making good trade
at the expense of neighbor.
The American who demands the admiration
of all good men for Washington, has no ex-
cuses TO make for peccadiloes, asks no pardon
for erroneous opinions abandoned, but claims
him as the model of man, the nobIest work Of
God.
That he was a Shareholder, has been urged
against him at the North, while at the South
his emancipa.ing his slaves and flooding a
neighborhood with those pests, free negroes,
is considered the most injudicious act of his
life. Generally when man is abused by two
extremes, he has probably taken the safe
course In the right path. Whatever errors
Washington may have fallen into in believing
negroes capable of self government, there is
no doubt that he acted conscientiously upon
that, as upon all other subjects.
We now know that all the Spanish Ameri-
can republics have been injured by trying to
make Citizens of Indians and negroes. From
the French revolution we have seen that white
people, without moral and political training,
cannot maintain republican government.
Could Washington now witness the present
state of things and see that negroes as class
have progressed in civilization and religion, in

AUGUSTA. April 7. 1856

AUGUSTA, AprlI !, 1000.
Mr.. Choate addressed the hearing in Judge
Davis case this morning. He spoke about
two hours and half, in an Interesting and at
times eloquent strain, but feeble health pre-
vented his equalling expectation or himself.
At the close of his address Gt can scarcely be
called an argumenD he appeared very much
exhausted.
The impression seems to be that Judge Da-
vis' counsel have left his case weaker than it
was before they began, inasmuch as they have
advanced no new positions and have made
some admissions, which his partizan advocates
stou,ly denied. 1t is a remarkable fact that
they from the first and throughout avoided the
real point In issue. Their arguments will
doubtless be properly attended TO in the morn
ing, when it is expected the subject will come
up in the Senate. The number of spectators
was greatly less than was anticipated, partly,
perhaps, from the postponement of Mr..
Choate's appearance.-Cor. Of Argus.

The City Council met on Wednesday even
ing.
James Potter, William Potter, Samuel Par
ker, Moses c. Grant, and William Aderton
were appointed Measurers of wood and bark.
Aldermen Shaw submitted an order that the
Treasurer take up the note of S2500 given to
Ann 2. Larrabee, and TO give City Bond,
with coupons attached, for the same amount,
interest, and time. Adopted and passed by the
Council in concurrence
The same Aldermen submitted an order that
the Assessors of Taxes be authorized to ap-
point Assistant Assessors one for each Ward,
al an expense of 81, 80 per day. Adopted.
and passed by The Council in concurrence.
Alderman Gilbert presented the petition of
Scott Morse q Co., tor additional watch in
the upper part of the City. Referred 10 the
Committee on streets.
Alderman Ballou presented an order for the
publication of the names of the City officers.
Adopted.
Alderman Eames submitted orders for an
examination of Maple Grove and Evergreen
Cemeteries. 10 have them placed in suitable
condition, &C. also TO look to the condition of
Engine House, No. 3, Front street, and see if
it needs additional bracing, &c; also that the
Committee on Fire Department consider the
expediency of adopting the recommendations
contained in the report of Chief Engineer, &c.
Adopted.
In the Common Council a report was made
in the case of MIR. Gilman member from Ward
4. The Committee reported that they could
find no evidence of illegaity in the election,
and that there was not sufficient grounds for The
action OF the board in the matter They how
ever, took occasion to reflect rather severely
upon the action Of the majority in closing the
polls 50 soon.
Mr. Gilman moved 10 recommit the report
with instructions 10 amend His remarks,
which will be found in another column. were
listened to with good deal of interest by
large number of spectators, and the motion TO
recommit prevailed by unanimous vote.
The speech of Mr.. Gilman, in another col
umn, is worthy of perusal ; it is very plain
talk with those persons who have assumed to
control affairs in this city, on the 81 am the
po,cer' principle, it shows them up in the true
light, and we trust it will be good lesson to
them, though it tells them good many home
" truths. We have before predlcated that
Mr.. Gilman would be useful member in the
Council, aud we are more strongly convinced
OF it than ever. Though in giorious minori-
ty, he has and will continue To make himself
felt The gentleman from Ward s. who pre-
senied the remoDstrance of those fort1-one 1e-
gal voters, was necessarily absent, or proba-
bly, he would have explained some apparent
Inconsistencies satisfactorily 10 himself, if not
to the Council. We hope the usual courte-
sizes will be extended to him, that he may have
an opportunity to make the explanation and

Peace and the "RahY.n

The last steamer brings us good deal of
"baby talk" without doubt interesting TO
mothers and nurses. The Boston Post, in its
facetious way announces the steamer news as
Peace and the Boy. Well, it is somewhat ri
dculous 10 our purtanical notions, to have the
incidents of such an crent so minutely detailed.
We are glad, however, TO learn, as we should
be of any of our neighbors, that both the moth
er and baby are doing well. As auspicious
as the event seems, the prince may find it

Louis XIV. survived his son, his grandson,

The Duke de Berri fell by the hand of an as
sassin in the lifetime of Charles x. and his
son, the Duke de Bordeaux, is an exile from
the land which his ancestors regarded as their
own estate. The eldest son of Louis Philippe
perished by an untimey accident, and his
| grandson and heir does not sit upon the throne
of his grandfather.
Thus, then, it appears that for upwards of
two hundred years, in no one of the dynasties
TO which France has been subjected, has the
son succeeded to the throne Of the father.''

DAVID WMMoT OF Pennsylvania. This
gentleman, who some years ago figured con-
spicuously, is now completely rune down pol
itician. The New Haven Register says his
downward course should be warning TO all
who consult expediency instead of principle.
Ten years ago, he was the most promising and
formidable man of his age in the Democratic
party, in Pennsylvania since then he has
boxed the compass, until now we find him a
X. N. Aboltionist, playing second fiddle to
the very men he despised. The Montrose
Democrat, for several months, paid considera-
BILE attention to Mr.. Wilmot's political man
euvreing, and proved very conclusively that
he was not governed by honest impulses in
his various political lodges. To this Mr.. W..
took exceptions, and appealed to the Grand
Jury tor damages, asking the snug sum of
$4,000; but we observe that The Grand Jury
ignored his bill, thus leaving him 10 reflect, at
his leisure, on the folly of political mounte-
bank prosecuting an independent editor for
publishing the honest truth.
