pointments.
The Weather.
The weather in this region continues to
grow "no better fast." Our last allusion to
it was lachrymose enough, but since then
we have had one or two freezes that have
effectually settled the peach question, whilst
gardens,-wheat and oat. crops, as well as
vegetation generally, have sustained considerable
injury. Wo hear of some farmers
planting corn the second time.
The Rasche Concert.
The audience 011 this entertainment last
Saturday evening was small. This no doubt
had a tendency to depress the spirits of the
company and prevent that flow of spirits
which is so conducive to the charms of music.
Nevertheless, the performances were
highly satisfactory. We hope the company
may meet large audiences wherever it
goes, for we believe it worthy.
Literal Interpretation.
An enthusiastic devotee of Cnmpbelism,
on a certain occasion, after holding forth
upon the "literal interpretation" of the
Scriptures, sat down,saying:
"I dare any man to gainsay my position*."
Up rose a shrewd little Dutchman, and
replied as follows:
"My friends, I doshe have but von vord
to shay: De schripters dush say dat he dat
belicveth, out of liisli pelly shall flow rivers
of water; and as itish a very dry time, and
we dush need water to grind mit, I moves
-dut he dush take his shtand at de head of
de mill-ponds and fill 'em init water."
It is not stated that the disciple of Campbell
attempted any reply.
. ?* Success of Dr. Kingsmore.

tarrying-a few hours at the village ofNew

to gain his acquaintance and sco his
paintings. We had seen, years ago, a few
of his maiden efforts to sketch "the human
face divine," and occasionally an allusion by
the press to his later performances. Neither
of these, however, although highly creditable
to the.'young self-taught artist, had
prepared .us to believe what wo now are
convinced of in regard to his skill. He
exhibited to us several portraits which wc
unhesitatingly adjudge the finest and (so
far as we are acquainted with the originals)
most correct we have ever seen. The one
most attractive to us, representing a little
babe, which had recently died, ascending a
stairway of clouds to the home of angels,
was as beautiful in execution as it was appropriate
in design. Such a memento will
excite feelings of gratitude to the artist in
the hearts of the bereaved parents while it
recalls remembrances of the dearly loved
aiid early lost
' V>Tltfsis a disinterested and houest tribute
; to unassuming merit. Dr. Ivingsmore, as
an artist, needs only the acquaintance of the
? American public to make his fame national.

Uusystematio Thinking.
The power of reflection is one of the
most interesting exercises of our intellectual
being. To be capable of thought, is to
possess an incomprehensible capability?the
mind, to itself, is an indefinable prodigy.
By reflection we compare the past with
the present, and judge of the future by a
considerance of what has been and now is.!
The mind, however, needs to be educii- ]
ted. It must necessarily undergo a process j
of systematic training, before we can rea- ;
souably expect the result to be profitable, |
either to ourselves or others. There must j
bo mental system and arrangement.
One of the most prominent characteristics
of the present age is too much talk and
too little reflection. Men often talk at random,
and when that is the ease, not unfreqtiently
talk nonsense. An association of
systematized ideas might be sought for with
as much success in the whirlwind which
gathers in its march sticks, leaves, trash,
and so forth, as that miiul where mental
culture is neglected, and the power of
thought untaught to think.
It was cither our fortune or misfortune
not long since to fall in with a "rare 'un" of
4| . * .11? '
uio uniting genus; ana, as we coukl not j
deny onrsolf (lie indulgence of feeling con-!
siderably amused at listening to as much of
what he said as our frigid lingers and toes
would permit, it may not he amiss in connection
with the foregoing remarks to divide'
the amusement with our readers.
"When we reaehed the house of our
friend, a little servant girl was busily engaged
in sweeping the floor, and at- her the talk
began. "Make haste, there, gal," said our
host, (for lie seemed to be in a great hurry,)
"any got done sweeping, and fix this table,
for llie cars will be here presently." "It is
a very culd morning," indeed" "You had
better sweep along, gal"What is your
name, sir ?" "Here's a place you haven't
half swept! (Jivo m<: that broom!"?
"IIow far have you come this morning, sir?"
"Tell them to hurry breakfast.'' "Where
do you live, and what is your profession ?"
"They say that that man?what's his name?
?Nicholas is dead." "P>c in a hurry,
and wipe them dishes well." "1 hope in
God that if he is rlivul <:<-???<? '.i~ I
- ? >,??>.) >JVIIIV v/uu iriw; will
take liis place, atul whip the French anil
English."
liy this time we were carried off, to sonic
extent, in our risible regions, hut the following
knocked lis entirely off our balance,
and we enjoyed, in plain English, "a hearty
laugh." On scrutinizing our "og, said he :;
"Don't one corner of your for'ad stirk out
furder than the other ? It looks like it
does." "I don't believe in nations doubletcainiug
upon one another, and so I don't."
"I heard a man say once that there was
i ? -- '
..?j vi u.ijjtinui rigut out uiis spiunging
business"?"Come, gals, bring in breakfast"?''but
I don't believe a word of it; if
I did, by jingo, I'd be splungcd twice a
week, I'll be dinged if I didn't." "I expect
that we are to liave a difficulty with them
people over yaiuL-r yit." "I wouldn't be
splunged sich a daj' as this, it's too cold;
but?there's tlie whistle!"
The arrival of the cam turned the attention
of our host in another direction, and
in a few minutes we exchanged the noise of
one of the most iuccssant talkers we have
ever met with, for the clatter and rattle of
the morning train, and were soon at home.
Tho Last News from Europe.
There is no longer any doubt of the
nf fit/* T?nod.i?? - rnT
uv?*? v4 iuv jiiuoowiii v/jrtl 1^1 1u11ulah* x itc
last accounts from Europe fully confirm the
report of liis death. A few days previous
to his death he succeeded in reconciling
the differences existing between his
two eldest sons, Alexander and Constantine.
At tho time of the Czar's falling
ill, the Prince Alexander was the
only son present in St. Petersburg, butCoNstantine
arrived to see his father alive.
In the presence of both of them the Czar
made over to Alexander the imperial
throne, and Conbtantine vowed his allegiance
to the new Czar, In England the
news of the Czar's death was received with
unconcealcd joy. Greater joy could not
have been exhibited even-at the fall of So
vastopol. Sonyjfgbf the people desired the
ringing of church bells. In Paris the police
arrested the ballad singers for ohanting
verses disrespectful to the dead Czar. From
the tenor of the accounts by the Atlantic,'
it might be inferred that the prospects of
peace are brightened by the accession of
Alkxakder to the Russian throne,^as some
wriC^ft attribute to him a more paclfld' die*
position.than belonged to his father,:

by tbc British Parliament to look into the
conduct of tlio war, and declares useless it
is discontinued the two armies cannot act
together, though tlicy may act for the same
object. The English are to reconcile him
in some way.
Other and subsequent accounts, by the
arrival, on the .'50.. ult., of the Asia, do not
encourage the hopes of peace. Hopes and
fears are about equally balanced. The
Austrian and Prussian circulars arc pacific
in their lone, but the. mriniffsfi. of An.-v?v.
dku to his army is warlike. The iii-st meeting
of the Vienna Conference took place
on the fifteenth, hut Prince Gortsehakofi
was not present. The allies had reopened
lire upon Sevastopol. The English committee
of enquiry was still sitting. The Russians
were indurtriously adding to their fortifications
and had sunk two more ships in
the lnirhor. It was reported that England
and Austria would he satisfied without the
destruction of Sevastopol, but Natoi-eon
insists upon its demolition. It will not be
entirely unexpected news to us to hear before
many months, that the allies have dissolved
partnership. This is about the only
way nioy can, with any protection to sell
respect, get out of the light. Of course
when one partner in a firm hulls, the others
arc justifiable in suspending operations
and winding up the business.
The European cotton market experienced
a slight depression and decline. Breadstuffs
.-lightly advanced. Money easier.

Moxtcomkuy, Ala., March 28, 1855.
Editors of the Press: For the last
few days I have boeu receiving letters from
many young men in your State and Georgia,
proposing to go with me in the expedition,
which was foreshadowed in an article
in your paper of 22d instant. As these
letters are very numerous and will prohal>lv
increase in number, it will be impossible tc
answer them severally. T must, therefoer
say to tlicm to be patient for a fuw weeks
and at the proper time I will call for them
if they are wanted. It is impossible to sa\
at this time any more than I have published
in your paper. I cannot hazard the dilliculty
that might be caused by a too earlj
disclosure to unknown persons. Every per
son who goes will need ?150 in cash to pre
pare himself for the trip. None can gc
without that much.
The newspapers, especially those in New
York, probably will publish a variety ofYu
mors ami guesses about this expedition
You need have no confidence at all in them
Nobody is entrusted with the secrets of this
expedition but uicn of the highest knowr
integrity, who would not disclose them
Those who wish to go are requested to senc
on their names, and at the proper time 1
will sound the bugle for them.
I regret that I cannot give more than tlu
slight adumbration already given of thi>
project. I will say, however, that a mai
who is fortunate enough to be received in
to its ranks may consider himself 21 luck}
man. It will comprise the finest body o!
men ever brought together. They will all
be young, spirited, and respectable, while r

mid highest rank in the country. No man
of equivocal character or courage will be
received. I have no doubt that there will
be fighting to do, and I would not deceivc
any by leaviuga doubt 011 the subject.
Yours respectfully, B. L. POSEY.
Summary of News.
Lost Child.?A little son, five )*ears old,
of Peter P. Chastain, of Anderson District,
strayed oft" one day week before last
and had not been hoard of when the Gazette
of last week was issued, although a
most diligent search had been mado.
Destructive Fire.?The town of Sandcrsville,
Georgia, suffered distressingly from
firo a few days ago. The loss is estimated
at more than a hundred thousand dollars.
Some families have been left houseless and
penniless. The office of the Central Georgian
was destroyed, but the editor announces
that it will be replaced by the first of
May, or soon after. *
Land Wahrants.?The Charleston Courier
says land warrants are in good demand
in New York, and worth $1G0 to $165?
parts in proportion. When the new ones
are issued under the., act of the late Congress
it is probable tlje price will decline
somewhat^ There will, however, be no supply

First Duel in* tiie United States.?
The first duel in this country occurred in
New England, in 1021. Edward Doty
and Kdwaiid Liestek, both servants of
Stephen Hopkins, were principals. The
weapons used wore swords, and both were
wounded. For this transaction the company
of Puritans ordered the combatants to
be tied together heads and feet for twentyfour
hours, without food or drink.
Duowned.?AVe learn from the Lexington
Telegraph that a little daughter of Mr.
L. Walker, of that District, was accident
ly drowned, whilst crossing over a mill-dam,
011 the 20tli tilt.
Wheat Choi' in Georgia.?A writer,
from Calhoun, Georgia, under date of March
27 th, says the, wheat crop was never more
promising. Jieing yet nnjointed, it has sustained
110 injury from the lale cold weather.
Legs to Order.?The New
York Sun tells of having seen a man who
lost both logs some years ago, walking the
streets recently, with a very slight limping,
upon a pair of artificial locomotives. We
? ?- -1 - -
t.niiiuL miesuon me possibility ot the truth
of the Sun's statement; for wo have seen,
in the patent oQico 111 Washington, models
of artificial legs which seemed almost
' "second nature" itself. No wonder Yankee
1 genius is progressive, when it can extend its
strides at pleasure by determining the length
of its own walkers!
Tiik End ok a Dcelust.?Col. Ai.f.x.
K. McCi.cno, of Jackson, Miss., after having
slain two or three of his countrymen
upon the "field of honor," and sown the
' |seeds of grief in many a heart, turned his
' j hand upon himself lately and put an end to
' his own life. He was about forty-five years
I of ago; a man of uncommon bravery, and
fine talents. It would have been better for
iiim, lor ins victims and for the country, if
he had marie this last his first act of violence.
( Tnuice at Once.?Mrs. McAlisten, of
Burke county, Georgia, recently gave birth
, to three line children at one time. If a
child is really a "well spring of pleasure in
a house," Mr. McAlister, the husband and
father, may swim for a while now ! It
strikes us, however, such a number of
( "wells" these dry times is more than on?
man ought to claim !
i Murder of a Minister.?An exchange
[ paper says: "There is a terrible story from
I'ort Gibson, Miss. It seems that a mem.
ber of the church there, who had been sitss
ponded, made application to be reinstated,
i and all the members consented except Dr.
. j Woo day a ill), the pastor. The oxcommuui jrated
member became indignant, and while
fj the trial was in progress, lie rushed upon
| Kev. Dr. Woodward and stabbed him to
t the heart."
t Two Men Shot.? An affray occurred,
i near Four Mile Branch, iu Barnwell Dis?
trict. on a Sabbath morning recently, beI
tween James M. Gurnsey, Duncan Free!
man, and A. J. Randai.l. Freeman was
killed and IvANDALL dangerously wounded.
it appears that the two latter went to the
liouse of Gurnsey and undertook to drive
him off, and he, in the act of retreating,
drew a revolver and fired upon them. lie
is in jail.
Murder.?On the night of the 22d inst,
, says the Athens (Ga.) Banner, of 29th ult.,
Thomas Gunnels killed his wife, by beating
. her over the head with a light-wood knot,
lie lived in this county, four miles from
Athens. The cause Rum, and long use of
it at that. His wife is represented as an
estimable woman, and has borne him seven
children.
Georgia Gold.?The Au<*nstn flmnot:.

our table one of the most precious products
of Georgia?a lump of Georyia. yold weighing
1775 pennyweights, taken from the Columbia
Mine, in Columbia county. This
