Willinmstou---!Way-I>ay and the
Girls*
To go to Williamston is to enjoy ones'
self. Particulai ly at this season of the year,
when tho trees have donned their verdant
foliage, and flowers peep forth here and
there,does this nice little plaee present the
greatest attTactions. Availing ourself of a
day and the kind invitation from tho voting
ladies of the Williamston Academy, we
jumped aboard the cars on Friday morning
last, determined to see all thnt could bo seen
in one day. The day was beautiful, and the
jonng ladies of tho place were out at an
early hour with their tlowors, decorating the
school room, and getting everything ready
for the party at night. To say that we
helped to complete the arrangements, fix up
the May pole, and all that, would be hut to
say that for which the young Indies gave us
ctedit, and which a willing nature prompted
us to do. The table w hich was spread by
the ladies for the accommodation of their j
guests, we have never seen surpassed upon 1
any similar occasion, and although we were |
compelled to leave before the supper hour
arrived, we boar testimony to the richness
>f their wide spread board. Our thanks
are due to the committee who forwarded to
us tho handsome cake, dec., after our return
home. Marks of esteem tike litis, are highly
appreciated.
The Female Academy at this place, under
the control of Rev. Mr Carlisle, numbers
about sixty young Indies, and promises a i
wide field of usefulness. The Male School
is under the supervision of Mr. Walker, u .
youm# gentlemen of ability and talent. Hi*
addrcM before the pupils on Kiiday evening
we learn wan listened to with much atten
lion. Quite a number of improvements are
visible in and about Williamson, testifying
to the industry and enterprise of its citizens.
The thndoff of our old friend Coon has never
grown less, whilst the patronage extended
to his house has justified him in adding
a Leo(o) to hi*tal>le, which, whilst an ornament,
is no lesa a decided usefulness. We
thiuk that Ltgg is an indispensable aid to
"mine hoat" of the Williamston hotel, and
for the sake of old Virginia,suggest his con- '
tinuanie at the place so appropriately assigned

The paper which was tent forth upas the
sea of reading, friendless and unknown, re.
turns once more to iu native port, after a
voyage of two long yeara?in age, a child,
in succots and discovery, a man. We will
suppose u safely moored, gentlv resting from
the Storm and tempest, and gazed at by its
many admirers, who have so earnestly hop
od und prayed for ite safety. Its sails now
flap idly in the breeze?the dark sky which
marked its advent upon the turbid waters
has passed away, a radiant sun and cheerful
spring-time invites Its safe return.
( Of course its commander tells the story
I of its voyage. Hie adventures that have
been made before, whether they refloeted
credit upon those who engaged in them, accomplished
good, or ended in smoke, have
each told its story. Should the navigator'
Franklin return from his voyage amid the
iee-crngs at the north pole, he too, will have a
tale to tell. But whether he ret urns,or is forever
iminured in the cold fastnesses of that
bleak region, has nothing to do with our
history. The sailing of his expedition and
ours were two different enterprises?each
having its own results. Tho Enterprise on
its outward trip met with some heavy weather,
adverse winds and gales, causing no
delay, hut producing considerable inside
alarm. The captain prudently kept his
fears to himself. At one time, whilst nnss
14 no person can be entirely iimentUlo while
there is in the world a single individual who
will rejoice at his prosperity, or feel sorrow
for his adversity."
Kind friend*, in conclusion we would ask
a continuation of your patronage. There
are many name* upon om list who have not <
paid us their Mftacriptions. Come friends,
square up, anil we will go on our way
rejoicing Our books arc still open for new (
names, and our columns for the reception of
advertisement* and notices of nil kinds.
Wc enter the labors of the new volume
with bright hopes and cheering prospects.
Gen. Walker's Position.?The correspondents
of the New York Press give differ- i
ent aceountsof Walker's position from those
given In the official journal in Nicaragua.?
They say he io?t as many men as the Costa ;
Rican*. who lost about 150. lie was unable
to remain in Rivasto bnry his dead. The
fact, however, that he was iininedintly to resume
offensive operations tends to areata the
ladicf that he was not defeated His position,
onder all the circumstances, is at leaat
Btical, and news from him by the next

ing Pecuniary Islands, it almost became necessary
to put back for aid, but nfter consultation
it was found that tlieonly way of forcing
our craft through was by Economy <
Sound, throwing one man overboard and
the remainder of the crew subsisting on half
rations. Tn the IZtfi section, sofifh of Mason
and Dixon's line it fell in with a Philn j
dclptiia steamer, with which it kept company
nntil the 22d of February last, after seeing
it safely at lioino. When we see its bill
of lading for the coming trip, and the return
of its new commander from Europe, we shall
then know whether we cruise again together
or not Much depends upon the fact of
Pjkrck's appointment to tho command of
the Cincinnati boat. If he is not, we row
for the soundest and best man, (American
or anti American,) even if he leads us up
Salt River. This preference for Pibhck is
not owing to his great opposition to the
American line, c in the belief that he will
succeed if appointed, but that Ire is entitled
to tho patronage of Southerners exclusively
for Ids late efforts in behalf of their rights.
Solely on this account. Rut of this enough,
we liavo plenty time to take in our presidential
cargo.
We coine ashore to talk of home matters.
We miss the cheerful company of some who.
like ourself were wont to light up the hearts
and brighten the faces of those who read j
their printed thoughts. Some journals that
found their way to the same firesides with
ours, have ceased their visits, others have |
sprung up to Ircar us company. Whilst we ,
bid ilieui welcome, wo step Hghtly upon the i

Many a time since we wandered forth upon
the world, a seeker for patroiiHge and fa- (

Frakklin, La*, April Slat, 1856.
Aty Dear Sir In accordance with my
promiae to you when I left, borne, I will
give you ft further Recount of mattep end
iliings in general, that have come under
my obwerration in Louisiana, and a* you j
are a ladies' man, aome notioo of the wo-1
men or tin* pari of the country, I ant sure
will not be uninteresting to you. The climate
here is better adapted to the female
constitution than the male, consequent!)
the women lite longer and out number the
men. A? an evidence of this, there are near
one hundred widows in St. Mary1* Pariah,
among whom are many young, handsome
and wealthy; and I often think how the
good-looking young men of South Carolina
would tigure hero, and that to their profit.
The ladies here are generally handsome, i
particularly the Creole women. They have
a fine complexion?the effect of the climate,
which is remarkably soft and damp with ^
cool nights, and the sea-breeze blowing in
the hottest hours of the day? and from 80
to 07 degrees Fahrenheit, is as warm as it
ever gets here ; and I have never seen
the Spring season so pleasant as it is in this
climate. The evenings are delightful, and is
the time for taking pleasure exclusions, and
the fine level roads are crowded with carriages
and equestrians?Indies and gentlemen?in
handsome dress and feather, on
Creole ponies and going at top speed.?!
These animals are very fleet, almost equal1
to the eagle's flight?and as they pass off,.
or approach with their fair riders in their |
long and full riding dresses, they afford
any amount of sail, and that too apparently
often in a confused condition. Thero is a
great rivalry among the different orders of
the higher classes of women here, viz.: the
widows, the young single ladies and the
youngest of the married women, as to whom j
shall attract the most attention, or secure ! (
the most admirers. This, as a matter of
course, is owing to the custom of the country,
and not for other reasons, which gossip |
might assign for it; and the maiked attention
bestowed by single gentlemen to married
Indies is purely to lessen the labors of the
husband.
I am quite engaged yet, in closing up the
business which is the object of my sojourn I
here. I shall get through next month, and
then return to South Carolina, and resume
my abode ninong the patriots of the country
and ray immediate constituents. J. P.

his'third 'ectnrc, and was listened to with in
tense and increasing interest for two hours
by an auditory which filled lieyond comfort,
ail seating r<*>m in the Hiliernian Hall, and
even occupied all the standing area within
hearing distance. TholeftU'e was of a more
discursive and digessive character than either
of the two preceding lectures, as it was de
igued, In some measure as reeapituln- !
[ion of the main topics that had been so log- J
icallv and eloquently discussed and enforced, (
As an oralorctal appeal and nddrcse, it was
qual to the speaker's best standard, and '
this, wo think, will tie admitted by all com (
[MSlent judges, as a very high standard of
jratory. Gen. Carv, as an orator alone, ami j
without reference to the application of his
ffforts, or the logic of his matter, is well ]
worthy of a hearing from all who would sae ,
a master exhibition of that eagle sweeping, j
and wide embracing eloquence of the Western
genius which Mr. Milhurn has recently ,
