him, and that il he does recover, he shall

While confined to his bed, he has u young

LiFE.-Men rejoice when the sun is riseni
they rejoice when it goes down; while they
are unconscious of the decay of their own
lives Men rejoice at seeing the face of a
new season, as the arrival of one greatly de-
sired. Nevertheless, the revolution of the
seasons is the decay of human life. Frag.
ments OF drftwood, meeting in the wide
ocean, continue together little space; thus
parents, wives, children, relatives, friends,
and riches remain with us but n short time
then separate, and the separation is inevitable
No mortal man can escape the common lot;
he who mourns for departed relatives has no
power to make them return. Knowing that
the end of life is death, every right minded
man ought to pursue that which is connected
with ultimate bliss.

ALL ALIKE.-1he Washington correspou-
dent of the Charleston Courier states, in his
letter of the Sd, that all the Northern people
who congregate at Washington, think and
speak alike on the subject of slavery. He
says:
"I arrived here about twelve days ago, and
during my stay have had considerable inter

much regret that have found that slavery
has but little sympathy here. am in n board.

great interest is concerned, distinguish one
from the other. The Buchanan advocates
do not pretend to be less ani.savery than
the friends of Fremont-neither do they
speak against us with less venom. They re-
proach US with the words "Bully Brooks" in
a most wanton and provoking manner. 1t
requires no small share of philosophy to be
comfortable under their taunts. However it
may disagree with Southern feelings, we
must bear it, as the boarding houses are
nearly all, rs am informed, kept by aboli
tionists, and such as are not without nctive
and bitter zeal in behalf of their nefarous

SLAVERY IN OREGoM-A letter from Rev.
DR.. Bushnell to "A gentleman in Hartford,
Connecticut states that slavery is being intro
duced into Oregon. lie says that more than
half the Inhabitants are from missouri, and
that the lenders are at work to get off the
Proviso, or to get the Territory admitted as
n State, with the understanding that they will
take it Off themselves. They have GAO acres
of land each, and cannot cultivate but small
portion without slaves. They are talking

10y The Clarksville Chronicle, speaking
of the intended insurrcction among the ne
groes Of that section, says
"In the confused state of current reports,
we do not rerl authorized to say more at this
time, and shall close with n hint, that all this
commoiion is the legitimate result of the ag-
taiion of the slavery question. And in proof,
we ddduce the fact that nearly all the slaves
in,errog ted on the subject of this contrm-
plated insurrection, declare their belief that
the election of Buchanan was to be followed
bY their emnncipaiiOn."

IMPORTANT DIscovERy.-The Montreal

recently been made by Sir WIN. Logan. II

burr stons Sir William has expressed an
opinion that in its adoption for the grinding
stones of -four and other corn mills, it fully
equals that of the best French burr stone,
which is imported into every market in the

CHANGE OF Foop FOR ANIMALs-The
kind of food for animals should be .changed
frequently. A horse long kept on shorts
will be affected with fever in his legs and
feet, producing result similar to founder-
Shorts, corn meal, or cob meal, should new
er be given except in mixed state with cut
hay or straw This will require them to eat
slower, given alone, it ferments rapidly in
the stomach, produces n general fever, inju.
res the digestive powers, and finally pfodu-
ces a stiffness throughout the limbs. When
these results are discovered, the remedy is n
change of food. Continued feeding on oats
alone will produce the same result ms shorts
or meal, and MS many founder is caused by
it as by feeding and drinking when the horse
is warm. lfnecessity compels person to
feed horse on shorts, corn meal, or cob
meal, n supply of salt should be added TO
prevent fermentation in the stomach--

On WHIsKEY.-The "T'imes" is showing,
staiistically, that New York is the greatest
Whiskey market in the word;-a "bad emf
nence, morally speaking, which a western
journal had been claiming for Cincinnati:
"There are in this city and its immediate
suburbs twelve whskey distilieries, which
convert daily in bad liquor 1890 bushels Of
good corn, making annually l5,376l25 GAL
Ions. But this is only the production Of New
York, which is all sold here as a matter of
course. The receipts of country whiskey
amount to about fifteen millions of gallons
annually, so that the quantity sold here dur
ing the year does not fall short Thirty mill
lions of gallons, being more than three times
the quantity sold in Cincinnati. Oe this in
tolerable quantity of whiskey which flows
through this city MS though it were canal,
about one:hird is made into alcohol and used
in manufacturing operations of various kinds,
and one quarter is exported to foreign coun--
tries. A very small portion of that which
remains is drank as whiskey, while the larger
part passes through the hands of the recti6--
ers, and is retaied to an innocent and confd-
ing public under the various names of Cognac,
dark and pale; Holland gin, Jamaica rum, ST.
Croix, apple jack, London gin, Irish whiskey,
GIenlvat, and all other possible liquids which
drinking men delight to lacerate their vitals
with. Nearly all the whiskey that goes to
France, and there is no small quantity Of It,
comes back to us in the shape of brandy,

A FOREIGN County IN New York
The Ist Ward in this city is the Wall street
ward,-where are the Banks, Insurance of.
flee, &c.,-but the resident population is
Irish and Germans,-wth but few, very few,
Americans. The business people go up
town to sleep of nights.
There was not an American born citizen,
with one exception, this year elected in this
ward to any office. The schools, even, now
under excellent American teachers, who
were doing world of good in turning Dutch
and Irish hrogues into American, have been
turned over to foreign School Commission
ers and Trustees,-nnd in the changes to be
made, it is feared foreigners will be put in
their places,-to teach children the very first
thing they should unlearn, the peculiarties,
dialects, and accents of foreign land
HIeH PRICES FOR NEoRoEs.-The subjoin-
ed extract from private letter to the Editor,
shows that negroes aro in demand in Oge-
thorpe County. These are the highest prices
we recolect to have ever heard of.-Augusta
Chronicle
LEXINGTON Ga, Dec. 2, 1856.
About s 100000 worth of property was
sold here to-day--land and negroes-some Of
the sales were ahead of anything we have
ever heard A negro girl Is years old, sold
for $3.50; another girl Ia years old, sold for
Sl2SO another girl Ia years old, for $l3O5;
another girl Is years old, (in family way) for
$500; bov Is years old for Sl290; fellow
% years old, for $1,000. These negroes be-
longed to the estate Of John Wynn, deceased,
and were sold on credit of y MONTHS
There were 81 of Wynn's negroes sold to-
day, and brought S44,026. Of these great
number (more than ordinary were women
and children, and u few diseased and old scld
low. 1t is also proper to state, that, but few
of these negroes were bought by the Lega-
tees, and not one of those Of which we have
mentioned specific prices. They were COM
mon negroes-field hands.
But the most extraordinary sales were of
three negroes, belonging to the estate of Mrs.
Mary Watson. Leah, a negro girl l6 years
old, sold for Sl525; Harriet, about 20 years
old and child in her arms, sold for $3.50
terms II months. These prices appear in
credible, but all who are disposed TO douot
can be satisfied by referring to the Record of
the Court of Ordinary Of Oglethorpe county.
