TFrom the Savannah Advertiser. I

Mr.. Editor In your paper Of this morn
ing, noticed an item stating that a white
woman was committed for trial on a charge
of having cohabited with negro man. I
think the laws of Georgia make this a
criminal offence. Now Iwould ask if the
laws make any distinction Of sex? Is it not
equally criminal for white man to cohabit
with negro woman; and, if so, why is
there not an example made ofsome notorious
cases OF this kind in our city? What is
sauce for the goose, ought certainly to be
sauce for the gander. A. D. n.

TIE TgGNKsGIvING.-We see that an
other Of our exchanges has been COM
mer ting on the late proclamation for a
day of Thanksgiving. The Griffin Her
aid says:
Such things are eminenty proper, pro-
vided they are seasonably done. Our
idea, however, is, that at feasts, and
marriages, and reunions of kindred or
friends, we should kill the fatted calf,
and make merry, and give thanks; but
during trouble, and famine, and when
"the PeStilence that walketh at noon
day." is rife in the land, then are we
hidden to put on "sackcloth and ashes"
and bow in humiliation and prayer.
Surely the President must have meant
"prayer and humiliation" rather than
Thanksgiving"
We are commanded, we believe al
ways to pray, and in all things to give
thanks ; but that must apply to US as In
diyiduals. Only, we should think,
when there were more than usual pros
perity, and health and peace, in the land,
are we called on to celebrate the same,
as people, in National Thanksgiving.
President Johnston may, from his stand
point, imagine he sees all this combina'
ton of peculiar blessings showerlng
| down upon the country, and may be
justifable enoughin recommending the
thanksgiving-but, to us, it looks very
much as FIVE were called upon to "eat,
drink, and be merry" at funeral, and
our own funeral at that.

The Philadelphia Age makes good
many terrible hits at the candidates on the

The Journal and Messenger of the 4th
says: s'We learn that the solemn ceremonial
of dividing the corn crop took place recently
on plantation of upwards of thousand
acres, not a thousand miles from Macon,
upon which the laborers were employed on
shares. The proprietor received thirty
seven and half bushels ofnubbins and the
hands divided out the remainder Of the
crop at the rate oftwo and an eighth bushels
apiece. There will be 20 shucking frolic
on that plantation this year. We hope this
is the most meagre result which will come
under notice"

The State Department has a communica-
ton from our Consul at Peru, informing
the Government that native of Chill, resi-
dent in Lima, has left for the United States,
with the object of contracting for 1000
families of negroes for that country. This
speculation is under the color of free COLOMBIA
ton, but in fact the negroes are to be sold in
the same malner as the Chinese coolies, for
the term Of eight years. The State Depart
ment issues a circular to the Governors of
the several States, suggesting that all legal
and moral measures be used to prevent the
consummation Of such wrong.

From all quarters come reports Of
phenomena which are generally regard
ed as pressage of severe winter. Hives
overfowing with honey; unusual thick
ness of corn husks, and the furs OF wild
beasts; the migration OF rats from the

7ances, we suppose there will be added
to this list of signs the extraordinary
stores Of nuts laid up by squirrels.

ONE STEP FROM THE ALTAR TO THE
GRAvE-BEATH OF a Newly MARRIED
CoUPLE.-One week ago Mr. Tony Lau-
kof was married to Miss Agnes Krieft,
both of Newport, Kentucky. The young
and happy couple enjoyed their honey
moon on Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
determining that on Monday morning
they would settle down to commence
ment of the new life with allits business,
responsibilities, trials, &c. On Monday
morning they rose at an early hour, and
robing themselves in their every day at
tire, went to breakfast. Each complained
of feeling seriously i'll, and neither could
eat. The husband was compelled al
most Immediately TO retire to bed, and
in q few minutes his wife followed him.
a physician was sent for, who, upon ar
irving in the sick chamber, and after ex-
animation of the patients, pronounced
their disease. the cholera. Immediate
attention was given to them, but during
the day they continued to grow worse,
and at four and-a-half o'clock. the hus-
band died. His body was removed to an
adjoining room. His wife was also in a
collapsed condition, and at eight and-a-
half o'clock. she too followed her hus-
band into the dark valley and shadow of
death. The bridegroom and bride were
Cobed in their wedding, clothes, and on
Tuesday both were buried in the same
grave.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
