GOD. The following we clip from the Pittsfield Sun, as applicable to the ultra-American feeling which prevaita to some extent at the South among the admirers of the Massathusetts Governor's late negssage. The suggestion, though facetious, is good. If we are to repudiate eaerything for eign, let us make a clean sweep, and blot from the page of history the intimate relatiomns of our counitry with foreigiers since the days of '76. whent it was no.. deemed improper to accept the services of foreigiers itt our cause: " What a pity that Governor Gardner, while his hand was in, did not recommend that the miost glorious portion of our history be banish ed from the common tchools! So that the ris .ing generation might never know how much our forefathers were under " foreign influence." So that they might never know that Washington intru-ted the defence of his own native Virginia to a Prussi:mi, that he committed:the important task of disciplining the American armies; or that it was an Englishman that conquered at Fort Mouhtrie; or that it was the noble efforts of another Englishn:an, who had staked his nil in the good cause, which saved the revolution ary anmy front mutiny and disbandment; or that it was an Iri.shaun who so gallanty per ished at Quebec; or that it was a Pole who pro tected Washingtoon at Brandywine from perso nal peril; or that it was a Scotchman who per formed such earing exploits on the sea, and gave character to our little navy; or that nearly every nttion in Europe was honorably represen ted in our gallant armies during every var i which we haVe been engigad; or that there were foreigners who shared with our sires tlte peril of signing the declaratioat of Independence. When all these have been expunged from our history ,Governor Gardner will be considered a patriotic statesman, and know-nothingism an American sentiment. RussA.-A letter purporting to proceed from St. Petersburg, dated the loth, says that for some time pa.,t numerous relays are posted at itervals of four leagues from Odessa to Sebas topol, for the pttrpose of conveying, as soon ats tite snow is frozen over, reinforcements, to the amount of .10,000 tnen. for the Russiati army. It is expected that the Russians will have, by the 15th of February, :it army of 160,000 men in the Crimea. At Petersburg complaints are heard against Prince Menschikoff, who, strange to say, is ;IC cused by the imperial circle, and even by the people, 'r excessive prudence. The people are beginning to get clamorous against the Prince, and di.,conted~ even with the Czar, who, they think, has already made far too many conces sions, and to more they will. not listen. Osen Sacken is atgain spoken of as likely to obtain the commtand. itt the event of Me nschikoff's removal. with General Liprandi for his second. I. cage of a ebattge, it is not certain whether the peitice will be .summoned to St. Petersburg, or be left in the Crimea to deflend the city du ring the assault, while Osten-Sacken commands ite army inl the field. The letters repeat the assurance that the feeling of the population of St. Petersburg is decidedly for war. KLLaD.-We regret to announce that Saml. Milwee, ehq., one of our old and most respecta ble citizens, was killed on last Saturday evening, on the Pendleton road. one mile from this town. The circumstances seem to have been these: Mr. Milwee was detained in town until about sunset, when he left the village for home he was i seen riiing at a very brisk gait. His horse was very wi:d and fiery, and it is supposed that he was gon.; :,t full speed, when he came to the bog at the mile post, and in jumping across it, threw him from his balance. His foot hung in the sti:rrup utntil his body was dragged some thirty vards. The gro.und was very tard and rttgh; and the violence of the fall dislocated i.is ntek and fractured the back part of his skull. lie wab soon discovered, brought to the village, :.nd every attcn~bn paid hiii: but all in vain. lie died on Sunday motrning, in the 57tbyear .f his age.

His severity upon the churches however, .en granting his striclures to be correct, we cannot ring ourself to approve.

Through the same aperture whiskey as introduced and the egg then re-closed, how we ire unable so state. Thus renewed in spirits, the eggs sent freely at a dollar per dozen. Sympathy with the Warriors. Tta "fHome Journal" translates occasional para graphs of interest from French newspapers. Among the last, we observe on-a having -referenco to the uni rernal feeling of deep sympathy now felt by all classes in Paris for the brave men who are daily dying before Sebastopol. Tho Empress EUGE.NIE herself has set he example of making lint bandages and every vaerie y of knitted garments for the sick and wounded of the army. Shop-keepers are settinig apart given days, the proceeds of which are to be appropriated to the same good cause. A lovely COUN-rEss, who had re eived a large amount of beautiful and valuable New Year's Gifts, made a lottery of them all, sold the tick ate and appropriated the entire profits towards par. poses of aid to the suffering French soldiery. It is evident that the French nation will spare no expense n ahaviate the hardships of their gallant army. The French enthosiasm is fully aroused, and we fancy it will yet be found to be the real Lion in this Eastern As a single mark of the universality of the enthusi asm to which we allude, it is mentioned that " of all the girls born at Paris in the month of December, the rea er nuimber have been named ' ALMA,' in remem brance of the first victory won by the Allies." " Thus," remarks the French Journalist, " the ' Alma Mater' of classical association is likely to become an every day reality in France." That Maid of Honor. Something of a novelty seems lately to have reached ar shores, in the shape of a real live 31 iid of Honor. The name and title of this personage is Ladly MARaY MURRAYa. She is represented as beimg fresh from the Court of St. James, and appeatrs to be mak ng a tour of the United States. She is taking notes and donht less will print them. In New York she was theo guest of HOACE.GREELEY and the BECHERaS, eschewed fashionable society altogether, and was evidently not very acceptable to the population of Gothamn. To judge by her chosen comp'anionship in that city, the inference is very natural that my Lady is of the Staf ford House stripe. Yet, on the other hand, tha Sa vannah papers (to this city she seems to have flown very suddenly) speak of her as a very pleasing and entertaining individual. Another 3lrs.

" Beware of those who comto to you in sheels clothing, for i-s. ACCOUNTS froht the cities represent the pressure in the money Inarket as passing gradually off In the country, telief comes somewhat more tardily. But it i. nypi-oaching at length. Had it not been for the bnfortunate depression in the cotton market during the two months jnst past, we doubt very much whether the Dibtrict of Edgefield, as Iirge as is the debt which hangs over her, would have suffered any particular pecuniary disiress. Even at the worst, our docket fur the approaching term of Court has barely reached Ioine four hundred cases in all, a large propor tiont of which are sum. pro's of but slight conse quence. The truth is, there has been generally manifested by our people a really noble disposition to hear anti forbear. With some few exceptions, our citizens have shown themselves possessed of genuine hearts of flesh and lood, hearts that are alive to the heaven-born emotions of kindness anti sympathy. They have looked upon the moneyed distress of the commenity in which they live, with unaffected pain, and have done all they could to alleviate it by conc. liatory arrangements resuhing in such indulgence as could in any way be granted. We are cognizant of one particular instance, in which it was determined, as the only chance, some few weeks ago, to sue upon a set of Bonds,amounting in all to more than thirty thou. sand dollars. Second thought induced an accomoda ting disposition among the parties at interest; thy cast about to see what could be dlone to avoid this un pleasant recourse to law, and the consequence is that no suit has been necessary in the whole transaction. Very many such cases, on a smaller scale, have been settled in a similar manner. Almost every business man in our District can recall instances to substan tiate what we say in this regard. It is this magnaninous spirit of indulgence alone that has saved our people from what might otherwise have proven a regular crash. Had the example of some few loathsome money-lenders been followed and men who were good (but cramped for funds) been pushed with heartless ferocity, we should have seen In our midst a day of difficulty which the District would long have remembered with anguish. It would have been a day in which those human vultures, sr metimes known as usurers and note-shavers, might have gloated over the chances of increased profits in their illegal and tinrighieous vocation. But all good men would have sickened at the suffering thus need lesly uperitnduced uipon the country. Thank heaven! this evil lioulhas been for tie present avoided. And before another period of trtil shall come, we trust to see an abundant prosperity crowning the labors of the current year-a prosperity which shall enable all to redeem their indebtedness to such an extent as shall give us a few years at least of easy sailing. But, to this end, let us to work, with coats off, and sleeves rolled up. And, more important still, let us econom ize as fur as decency will allow. 'Thtus shall we be enabled to sit under our own vine and fig-tree in easy contentment, with none to moiest or make us afraid. Ia the mean time, let the cormorant-like miser, who infests the land to grow richer by the difficulties and distresses of his fellowmen, calculate over and over again his filthy hoards. Let hirm pri 'e himself upon his polluted gains to his hearts content. Let him stretch forth his mean power to disturb the peace and quiet of men who are his superiors in every thing but riches. Let him enjoy his inglorious day of moneyed tyranny. But let him know, at the same time, that lie is becoming a hissing and a scorn to all around him except perhaps a few ahject slaves of his will. The Etnow Nothings. WILC this new and nefarious order is decidedly on the increase in the Northern States, it is painful to observe that their unrighteous tenets have found not a few advocates at the South. But surely this thing cannot much longer last. When Southern anep see anti realize the fact, tnat this nondescript p:trty is giving itself up, heart and sool, to Abolitionism in its vilest shape. it cannot be that they will longer tolerate its appeals or enconrage its advrtnces. Totaynothing of its fou: principles, its extremes of native Anerican. is aind its religious intolerance, it is enough surely for its to know that it is committing''iself recklessly to our most dangruts foes. Wc instance only the late election result int the State of Massachusetts, where Hr~ar WIt~son, a notorious abolitionist, has been elevated to a seat in the United States Senate, by its direct agency. Profess what they will, swear what amtount of friendsh:p for the South they may, this is qitite enougihfo dan tihe Ktnow Nothings forever be. fore the Sonthern people. But not alone in 3lassachui. sett has their un~soutndttess upon tihe slavery question been made palpable. lit Michtiganr, in New York and elsewhere, they have intdncated, itn terms too clear to be mistaken for a sitngle moment, that erntmity to otur Southern inistituitions is tolbe.if indteed it is not already, 'sue of the fully recognized plarnks of their political patform. We trust that their career in the Sout.: will end where it has begun. IPicayune fltes FitoMa the New York Picayune, a very amusing comric sheet, wve pluck a few jokes. 'They are wiret the editor tertms Iris "' LEsser Twaddle." First c-ormes a hit at the commron cry of newspaper editors throughout the country, in regard to that ever approaching, tieve r-bhappen ing "dissolution of thre American Union." Thus it runs: " 31r.

'Sntpos tire Untionr shtotulddissolve ini the nigiht,' hre w ould .-ay, ' where wouldl a fellowy be ini tire moniun I' " The next item to whicht we shall apply thea scissors, is crincerning a green urie who recently attended en Ethtiopian concert in New York. The perpetration is as follows: "Polite genitleman at Buckley's :. -nrtleman fresh from the crountry *'Ilaveyrru a programmre, sir!' Country Gent.-'Prog Ram! No, sir.

IPolite getrlemran findds it necessary to cxcuse himself and retires to cro~l crlf." The third scrap has reference to the contenuplated underminring of Sebastopol. (Thlis is tire first time, by thte way, that we have heard of any such intenrioni on the part of tire Allies.) Tire heart of the joke is to be found in the Holloway pill of course: "Tire English navies who are on their way to Se hastoprrl are to be employed in excavating tunnels and mines to reac~h under the fortress-probably to adimini iter a soirt oif hrolluw-wary pill to tire enemy." Another item is taken front a certain phase of New York life and is denominated " a sell:" "'l'ity Buy.-Hi! young 'tin, do yar like cakes!? Fa-r BoY (eagerly.)-Ye-e-es.

WE see a musical publication, thus designated, spoken of in very high terms. It is a collection of Sa cred Music and just out. Having dropped a few hints last week on the ubject of " Church Music," we can not perhaps do better than follow itup with a suggestion or two upon the subject of choir singing. Suppnse we forn a ittle society of some sort for the promotion of sacred muric in our several churches. Suppose we arrange it to meet at one place or another every Sat. urday afte-noon. Perhaps it would be better for each church to have its own society for this purpose. There are enough of Methodists in town, are there not ? to make an excellent choir, if all who are gifted in that respect would join in with a determination to become proficients. So there are of Episcopalians and of Baptists. What hinders then but that each church shuuld be suppled with respectable singing at least ? If we cannot raise funds to procure an organ each, we could yet do something by choir practice to elevate tile standard of Church 1usic in our village. The work above 4signated, we repeat then, is said to be an admirable one. We suggest that it be procured for the singers in the Baptist congregation at any rate. This we add because it appears to be a Baptist compi lation. Other churches could procure other books of merit. Aid after the books are obtained, the determi. nation should be to stick to them,,faithfully until our Icommon irprovement in the noble art of Sacred 11u. sic shall have become clear and indubitable. Suppose the leading singers in each of our denominatinns make an effort irthis direction. We throw out the hint and really hope it may be acted upon immediately. Poetry by Warren R. Davis. A FEW weeks ago V~e^pubbshed a parody, upon "Roy's Wife of Aldivalleli;" from the pen of General G GEoaE .1'. 4oanis. At the time, we stated that there was one somewhere, by WAnaRn R. DAy:s, of South Carolina, of a deeper and more poetic cast. In the last ne mber of the " Anderson Ga:ctle and Advo cafe" we find an accurate rendering of the lamented DA vIS' original manuscript. It was furnished the edi tor by a nephew of Mr. DAVts. In traneferring the piece to otr columns, we hold that we are re-printing a literary gen for which our poetical readers will tthank us. It may not he amiss to add, in explanation of the I character of the piece, that it wan written during Mr. Davis' Congressional membership and soon after he I had formei the acquaitance of the lady who is made the subject of his song, the accomplished and beautiful wife of JOHNsTON, then (ve think) a member fron 1 ouisiana. She was said in truth to have had in her veins a touch of the blood of the Incas, an Indian tribe of South America if our memory be not at fault. Without further preface we append the parody: JOHNSTON'S WIFE OF LOUISIANA. Johnston's wife of Louisiana; Johnston's wife of Louisiana; The fairest flower that ever bloomed In Southern Sun or gay Savannah. The Inca's blood flows in her veins, The Inca's so1: her bright eyes lighten, Child of the Sun, like him site reigns, To cheer our hope, our sorrows brighten.

''the owvner then resolved to watch her proceedintgs; atnd po-tirng himself at night in a fentce-cOrneor, he saw her eniter at one enid of a hollow log, outs~de the' fiel.i, atnd emerg at the other end, within the inmeore. ' Eusreke I cried lie, " I have yoni now, old laity !" Accoreditngly, te proceeded, after turning tier cut once metre, to so arrange the log (it being very crookedl) that both ends opened on the outside of thte field. Tite nest d''y' the animal was observed to enter at her accustomed place and shortly emerge again. " Her astonishment," stys our iniformntt, " at finding hertself in the same field whence shte had started is too leudicrous to be des c-ribed ! Site locked this way andI thean that, grtoted her dissatisfaction, and finally returnied to the original starting-place ; and after a deltberate survey of mattters, to satisfy herself that it was all righet, site again eneter od the log. On emerging yet ottce more on the wrong side, she evinced even more surprise thtan before, and turning about, retraced the log in ant opposite direction. Finig thtis effort likewise in vain, after looking long and attentively at the posion of thinegs, with a short, angry grunt of disappointmttent ,andperhaps fear, ahe tuned abtort rund, and started cal oria brisk run ; nor could either coaxing or drivinig ever after minuce her to visit that part of the, field.

EDrroR,-Tn my Tax notice for the present -Car, you observe a change in regard to the mode eretofore practiced by myself and others. In thus eting,I hope it will rot be regarded as selfish,as T am ionest in the belief that the change will be equally ALvantageons to [he Tax payers. True, it will, elieve the Collector of once going over the District 0 his appointments, fur very little advantage to aimself or any other, as but few pay the first round ; ret, whilst he is relieving himself of uncalled for abor, he will, in his candid opinion, be affording naterinl adVantage to a large portion of the Tax Payers of the Ditrict. In the first place, I propose being at the Court lousc every day of March Term, during which a Irge portion of the Taxable tnmabitants will, for ime purpose or other, be at the Villnge. If they hink proper to pay their Taxes, the opportunity is iffor.led ; if not, they can do) as m:tny heretofore ave done, hold on till the last chance. Another ipsortant aivantage is offerecd in this change: Ju -ymen will have the opportunity of d.sposing of heir tickets without sacrifiee, pay their Taxes, and void trouble at another time. I co-uld enumerate various other items of accom no.lation afflrded by this arrangement, but I leave he case to establish itself, with a pledge that if the hange produces dissatisfaction atmong the Tax pay rs, I w.1l next year, (shou!d I i;ve) recur to the node heretofore practiced.
