While Texas was a dependency of Mexico, the United States opened negotiations with the latter power for the cession of ber then acknowledged territory ; and now that Texas is independent of Mexico, and has maintained a separate existence for years,—during which time she has been re- ceived into the family of nations, and is repre- sented hy accredited embassadors at many of the principal Courts of Europe—and when it has leant obvious to the whole world that she is forever lost to Mexico, the United States is charged with deception and falsehood in all re- lating to the past, and condemnatory accusations are made against States which have had no special agency in the matter, because the Ex- ecutive of the whole Union has negotiated with | free and independent Texas upon a matter vi. | tally important to the interests of both countries. | And after nine years of inavailing war, Mexi. | co now announceg her intention, through her | Secretary of Foreign Affairs, never to consent to the Independence of Texas, cr to abandon the effort to reeonquer that Republ’c. She thus | announces a perpetual claim, which at the end of a century will furnish her as plausible a ground for discontent against any nation, which at the end of that time may enter into a Treaty with Texas, as she possesses at this moment against the United States. The lapse of time can add nothing to her title to independence. A course of conduct such as has been de- scribed, on the part of Mexico, in violation of all friendly feeling, and of the courtesy, which | should cbaraeterize the intercourse between the Nations of the Earth, might well justify the U. States in a resort to any measure to vindicate | their national honor : but, actuated by a sincere | desire to preserve the general peace, and in view of the present condition of Mexico, the Executive resting upon its integrity, and not fearing but that the judgment of the world will duly appreciate its motives, abstain from recoin- mending to Congress a resort to measures of redress, and contents itself with re-urging upon that body prompt and immediate action on the subject of Annexation. By adopting that mea- sure, the United States will be in the exercise | of an undoubted right ; and if Mexico, not re- garding tbat forbearance, shall aggravate the | injustice of her conduct by a declaration of war | against them, upon ber head will rest all the responsibility. JOHN TYLER. | \ | Great Improvement in the mode o using | the Magnetic Telegraph.We understand | that Dr. Pacer, of the Patent Office, on | Wednesday applied one of his recently con- | structed magneto-electric machines to fur- | nish the electricity to Professor Monrse’s | Telegraph, instead of the great galvanic | battery hitherto employed for that pur- | pose. That battery is not only trouble- | some and expensive, but its management | requires exposure to the fumes of acids and other chemical substances which can- | not but prove prejudicial to health. The magneto-electric machine, being entirely | mechanical in its construction, avoids all | these inconveniences. We learn that on the occasion in ques- | tien, while Doct. Pace operated his ma- chine in the Patent Office, Professor Morse, at the City Post Office, operated | by its aid the Telegraph between this | city and Baltimore, and perforined all the | usual functions of his machine through a | distance of eighty miles, We look upon this asa vast improve- ment on the wonder-working invention which has of late so much astonished and delighted our citizens. Export of Specie—The N. York Cor- respondent of the National Intelligencer under date of the 14th instant, says that | the export of Specie from that Port during | this month was—so far—$3145,000. “ Mo- ney can be easily procured in the street at | six per cent. on unexceptionable security. There has been a great demand for silver | during the week..

A Resolution was adopted, on motion of Mr. Berrien, calling for the number of for- eign Paupers and Criminals imported into the Country, and the whole number of for- eigners who arrive. Resolutions offered by Mr. Barrow and Mr. Johnson in reference to naturalization and emigration were also adopted. Mr. Huntington’s Resolution, offered upon a previous day, in relation to duties on Iron Steamers, was adopted. ; The Senate then passed the following Bills: For the relief of Pierre Barnard, James Ritchie, William Batchelder and James McFarland. Mr. Evans’s Resolution before offered calling upon the Secretary of the Treasu- ry for information as to the amount of du- ties collected and refunded under recent decisions of the Department; also for co- pies of all circulars upon the subject issu- ed by the Secretary of the Treasury and the number of applications for remissions of duty granted and pending, was adopted. POST OFFICE LAWS. Mr. Merrick gave notice of the follow- ing important Bills to be introduced by him: In reference to the transfer of the mails between the United States and other coun- tries: To secure to the United States the ex- clusive right to carry the Public mails by the Rail Roads: Requiring the Secretary of the Navy to detail certain Government steam vessels to carry mails for the use of the Post Of- fice Department. Several Executive messages were re- ceived during the day; one covering the correspondence between our own and the French Government upon the subject of Texas, and the other being a proposed treaty between our Government and Hesse Cassel. The Senate then adjourned until Thurs- day next. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The bill from the Committee on Terri- tories, to extend the jurisdiction of the United States over Oregon, was reported and referred to the Committee of the ‘hole. The rules were suspended to receive re- ports from the Committees. The Committee on Claims reported Se- nate bills for the relief of the heirs of Ro- bert Fulton, appropriating-$76,000. The Post Office Committee reported a Resolution. which was adopted, calling upon the Post Master General to report as to the transfer of mails by Railroads, by night and by day, with the view of ma- king some changes if it shall be deemed necessary. The Committee on Pensions reported a bill amending the half pay of Pensions, so that applications for the benefit of the law shal] not be influenced unfavorably by the act which limits the benefits of the Pension Act to a term of ten years. MILEAGE OF MEMBERS. Mr. Cobb, of Ga., asked to report a bill to make the mileage of members uniform. Mr. C. stated that members sometimes living not fifty miles apart were in the habit of charging for a greater distance by three or four hundred miles. They were enabled to do this by travelling dif- ferent routes. He thought the bill ought to pass at once, and moved the Previous Question upon its engrossment. There was a second and the bill was ordered to be engrossed—ayes 171, noes 8. Ifthe bill becomes a law the mileage of members hereafter must be computed by the most direct mail route. THE TELEGRAPH. A resolution was adopted to. print five thousand extra copies of the Report of the Post Office Department upon the subject of the extension of the Magnetic Tele- graph. A resolut-on was adopted instructing the Committee on Post ces and Post Roads to report as to the expediency of transmitting Newspapers in the Congres- sional District where they are printed free of postage. Also in relation to steam boilers, Adop- ted. Inquiring into the expediency of admit- ting no and other manores daty free.

A résolution was offered instructing the Committee on Ways and Means to inquire into the e iency of repealing the duty on salt. The Resolution was laid upon the table. PROPOSED ANNEXATION. Mr. Douglass proposed a Joint Resolu- tion to annex Texas agreeably to the pro- visions between the United States and Spain for the purchase of Louisiana. The Joint Resolution was referred to the Com- mittee onthe Whole. Between three and four o’clock the House were found to be without a quo- rum..

Discussion of party feeling had nothing to do with the Resolutions before the Senate, and was out of order; there- fore, Mr. Biggs raised the question of order and submitted that. the Counsel was not out of order in remarking as he was doing upon the effect of party spirit. The Speaker then re- duced to writing the following, which be read to the Senate : “ The Chair decides that the Counsel for Mr. Ennett must confine himself to the rules pre- scribed for the Government of the Senate, in the discussion of the question before the House; and that it is not in order to refer to or discuss the state of parties that divide the country.” The Speaker then asked the Senator from Martin, if he took an appeal from the decision of the Chair; no appeal was taken. He then remarked that the Counsel could proceed in order. Whereupon, the Counse! took his hat, books and papers, and walked out of the Senate, Mr. Dockery called for a division of the ques- tion. The first then recurring was to strike out, which was decided in the affirmative by the following vote—22 yeas to 20 nays. Those who voted in the affirmative, were Messrs. Biggs, Body, Cameron, Drake, Eaton, Etheridge, Exum,Gavin,Gwynn,Hester,Holmes Jeffreys, Melvin, Pasteur, Reich Speight, Stall- ings, Stowe, Thompson, of Wake, ‘Tomlinson, Walker and Wilson.—22 Those who voted in the negative, were Mes- sts.

The question then recurred upon inserting amendment. Mr. Francis moved to strike out all after the pending Resolutions and insert the following as an amendment to the amendment, which was rejected, - “While Mr. Henry, one of the Counsel of Senator from Onslow, having commenced his Speech, and being called to order for irrevelan- ey.

THE EXPULSION. We have appropriated our columns this week to the interesting matter rela- tive the expulsion of the Senator from Onslow, to the exclusion of almost every thing else,, The subject is important as presenting a new feature in North Caro- lina history, and as indicating a crisis in political atfairs calculated to produce the most serious alarm. The astounding fact is disclosed, by the vote of the minority on the expulsion, that no political guilt is to render a Senator amenable to justice, from the party to which he belongs; that neither the insul- ted majesty of the Commonwealth, nor the outraged dignity of the Senate, nor the violation of law. nor the desecration of moral rectitude, can render a man less estimable in the view of party, or less entitled to retain a post of honor or of trust. It is painful for us to characterize the conduct of men, who are otherwise enti- tled to high estimation and personal re- gard, in the light which justice and duty requires on the present occasion. lt is with sorrow we record our con- victions that the Democratic Party, so called, the Senate, have discharged the honor of the State, and stifled the voice of conscience in their vote against the ex- pulsion of Mr, Ennett, on Saturday. Af- ter an unanimous vote, declaring the fact that the Certificate of Mr. Ennett was a forgery, they refused either to censure him or to expel him. The whigs, impelled by magnanimous feelings, and a desire that justice should be tempered by mercy, pro- posed that he should be censured by the chair, as the milder alternative presented for adoption. But this would not answer, the proposition was rejected by the friends of Mr. Ennet, and expulsion opposed by a strict party vote. We firmly believe that there was not a Democratic Senator in the House, who in his heart acquitted Mr. Ennett of the for- gery-or of a collusion with it. Not one of them, who did not in the vote he gave against expulsion, disregard the monitions of conscience and reject the appeals of reason. Not one who has not by this dis- graceful act exhibited a shameful adora- tion of the Moloch of Party, in all the filthiness of its abominations, and inflicted a dreadful wound on the public morals. Oh, how frightful is the prospect before us; how grievous are the reflections pro- duced in the mind—to see men, who are otherwise good, and just and honorable, and worthy of public regard and private affection—trample honor, honesty and faith in the dust, in obedience to party discipline and party dictation ; To see the conservators of public virtue, guardians of our rights, the protectors of our liberties, the propounders of law and equity—com- pounding with a mean, a treacherous, a neat me ba 3° See, Few ees fe Se . 5, . ek omO ; # ' > « tA e.

Abolition Riots in Ohio—Loss of Life. We have a slip from the office of the Telegraph, published at Georgetown, Ohio, (about 46 miles from Cincinnati) which gives an account of an affray which took place on Monday last, between some Ken- tucky negro-hunters and a number of ab- olitionists in the Red Oak Settlement.— The runaway negroes had been secreted in the houses of Robert Miller and Absa- lom King. They were owned by Col. Ed- ward Towers, of Mason county, Kentucky. Miller’s house was searched, and two of the slaves were discovered, who attempt- ed to make their escape, and while Miller was in the act of aiding ‘heir escape he was knocked down and stabbed repeated- ly by the incensed Kentuckians. He lin- gered but a few moments and died. The two slaves were then bound, when they proceeded to the house of King, where they were met by four or five armed men, who declared their determination to resist any search of the house. oth parties being well armed, a most horrible conflict ensued. A son of Col. Towers was killed immediately. King, while re-loadidg some of the fire arms in the house, was-shot by some one through a window in the back part of the house, and was not expected tosurvive. The Sheriff and his posse arrived and checked the riot, and the ringleaders of each party were arrested and escorted under astrong guard to Georgetown. But another band of Kentuckians soon arrived, and commenced another scene of bloodshed. One of the slaves was hung without ceremony for resisting a brother of Col. Towers, who had captured him.— The houses of Miller and King were burn- ed to the ground with ail their contents. They then went to the house of Mr. Alex- ander Gilliland, tore him away from his family and beat him until bis life is des- paired of. The Telegraph adds: “ The number of the Kentuckians is increasing hourly, and the whole neighborhood is in arms. The Sheriff is actively engaged in attempting to quell the riot. pc The above we have scen pronounced a koaz, but we give it merely as news of the day. Fifteen Days Later From Europe.

A Message wes received from’ His Excelieocy, in relation to the amount received by the Governor as President of the Literary and Interns! Improvenient Boards. : In the Senate, the Finance Committee, to. whom the matter had been recommitted, reported back the Resolu- tion holding the Public Treasurer responsible for the de- ficiency of $81 in the Treasury, and recommending its passage. The whole sitting was consumed ia the consideration of the proposition to endorse Bonds ‘of the Wilmington Road to the amount of $100,000. ‘The discussion was on Mr. Cameron’s motion to amend, requiring the Stock - holders to give individual Bonds not only for the $100,- 000 but for the balance of the previous guarantee... ‘The question was not teken, when our paper went to Press. The Public Treasurer was authorized to borrow one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, at six per cent. inte- rest, for the purpose of meeting the proper charges au- thorized by law against the State, until the next meeting of the General Assembly.

THE PRAIRIE GRAVE. He will slumber as well and as soundly there As a prince in a bannered aisle, And his dust will as many true tear-drops share As the gorgeous marble pile! No words to be read are over his head, And no s¢ulptured praise to save The fame of the pilgrim pale and dead, In his Jonely prairie grave ! But the whispering breezes wander there, And they speak of the sky above him, Of the stars that are there all bright and fair, | Like spirits that watch and love him, And a bright stream flows near his lone repose, While each lonely murmuring wave, Seems to heave a sigh as it hurries by The grass-grown prairie grave. O, the one who sleeps in that lonely spot, Left foudness and love behind him ; And there’s one yet weeps who has not forgot In her heart of hearts to find him ! Ah! that lonely mound in the prairie wild, Comes oft to a mother’s musing, When she bends and prays for the absent child She has sighed for ever since losing. *Twas a summer morn in the solitude, Ere the sun o’er the prairie rose, That we dress’d the dead for his lowly bed, And bore him to his repose. O, the silence then of the broad, broad sky, And the wide-epread green below, Seem’'d to bush e’en the waters rolling by Into strange and solemn wo ! Not a willow twig, not a stone was there To be left on the simple mound, But the grass is green, and the flow’rs are fair, That are sprink!’d there around. No words to be read, are over his head, And no sculptur’d praise to save The fame of the pilgrim, pale and dead, In his lonely prairie grave. Puazma.

We mean the Press! it. Let any gentle.nan look in the newspapers and see who advertises regularly, and in a right manner, and then look in at their estab- lishments. The truth will force itself upon their minds, and they will be compelled to ad- mit it. What Merchants in Salisbury, for in- stance, have advertised most extensively. Those who read our paper, will answer wit}- out a second. Well, what Merchants in Sal bury are doing the largest business? It is un- necessary for us to say—every body knows.— They are those persons who advertise in the Watchman most. They have discovered: the importance of keeping themselves constantly before the public. They have found that adver- tisements answer the purpose of “ signals,” not just about the door of their houses alone, but for many miles around, and at once determine hun- dreds to visit Salisbury on business, who would not otherwise think of it. a British Party. The Whigs are often told, that because they are opposed to the annexation of Texas to the United States, they are advancing or furthering the interests of Great Britain! Was ever any charge more ridiculous than this! Or did any party more clearly show that they are hard run for an excuse, to do that which they are thor- oughly convinced is unjust ; and which a large majority of the American People are decidedly and unequivocally opposed to? Never. Will the Solomon’s of the Locofoco party inform the public, whether the determination on their part, since the ill-gotten triumph of the party to re- Farmers, Mechanics, and Manufacturers have, —and to flood the country with British goods in preference to American Manufactures, is not a British measure? and whether this destruct- ive policy of their party is not strongly advoca- ted in England and all other foreign countries ? We fear not. But carefully following out their common practice, will studiously avoid permit- ting the people to understand their principles, and see the bad effect they will have if adopted ; and in order to divert public attention the Lo- cofocos falsely call the Whig Party the British Party, because opposed to robbing a foreign Government of its rightful Territory—and be- cause the Whigs are hostile to making unlaw- ful inroads upon the Constitution. whose every act proves them beyond a doubt, to be thoroughly American—whose whole ex- ertions have been solely devoted to fostering and protecting our own beloved country against the incursions of foreign foes, in every respect ; and in building up a name for us, which shall endure as long as the everlasting hills ! (<> There is at the present time, various re- ports afloat as to the mapner in which Texas will be annexed to the Union by the Locofoco par- ty in Congress. Some think that it will beas a territory, while the more knowing ones say not. On the second instant, the Democracy held a caucus, and adjourned to the fourth, when it was confidently expected a plan would be matured, and a committee appointed to bring the subject before Congress, ~ Another report says that the Locofocos have agreed upon a plan, and in order to surmount all constitutional objections against annexing foreign terrftory to'this country, the’ party pro- pose to admit Texas as a Siate at once.

Qn New Year’s day, the Inauguration of Hon. Wriitam A. Granam, as Governor of North Carolina, took place in the Com- mons’ Hatt, in the presence of both Hous- es, and before an audience which, for ev- ery thing that could make the occasion imposing, has never been surpassed with- in our recollection. At 12 o'clock, the Senators, preceded by their Speaker, en- tered the Hall. A few minutes thereaf- ter, the Governor elect made his appear- ance, escorted by Governor Moreuneap, the Judges of the Supreme Court, and the by large majorit annexation | pec of Texas. In nine’cases out of ton, where Lo- | he cofocoien is in the ascendancy, will the Conn reason for this except. that Mr, Williams is a | Joint Committee of both branches, consist- | ing of Messrs. Shepard, Cameron, Joiner, and Messrs. Thomas Wilson, Mebane, | Graves, and Bridgers of the House of Com- mons. The Lobbies and Galleries were crowded with strangers and citizens, and a brilliant collection of Ladies, all anxious to witness a scene, which gave to the Old | North a Governor, of whom the people of | the State have so much reason to be proud. As soon as the immense auditory had assumed the attitude of attention, Gover- /nor Grawam rose and delivered the sub- joined InaucuRAL, to which, we know, we | 'need not call the attention of our read- ers. It is enough to say, as we can say, that this dignified, and manly, and most appropriate Speech, delighted his Whig friends, and received the liberal commen- dations even, of those politically opposed to him. The delivery was as impressive and eloquent, as is the matter of the Inau- gural, and this, we think, about as high a tribute as we can pay it. The Oaths of Office were administered _ by Chief Justice Rurriy, and subscribed by | Governor Granam, in the book kept for ‘that purpose. The Senate and escort then retired from the Commons’ Hall, and the Governor, at once entered ‘upon the duties of his Office.— Register. Senators and Gentlemen of the House of Commons : In presenting myself before you, to take the oaths required for my qualification as Chief Magistrate of the State, I gladly em- brace the occasion, to express to our eom- mon constituents, my deep and abiding | sense of gratitude, for their confidence and approbation as manifested in the election | which callsme hither. If by diligence, | faithfulness, and impartiality in the high | trust I am about to assaume—if by a con- stant observance of those great maxims of liberty and justice that are embodied in the Constitutions which } shall swear to support—if by @ consultation of our his- , and adeference to those precedents examples which are deemed most ex- cellent in time, i can gather that wis- dom which my own deficient faculties are unable to supply, I may hope to render to my countrymen some, although it..bean inadequate return, for this mark of their Bah te consideration. philosophic observer of our Instita- tions, has attributed as ‘a defect to the State Governments, that vee! do not eom- prehend objects of sufficient interest fo hu- 7.

Certain pao of that instrument require duties to e performed, or omitted, by the State Go- vernments, or some department thereof, without, however, providing penal sane- tions for the failure, relying only upon the comity, the sense of right, and the official oaths of public servants for observance.— Yet it is obvious that a non-commpliatice on the part of a State in these articles, is as injurious to the rest of the confederacy, as can be any usurpation by the Federal Go- vernment. The Constitution having stip- | ulated that Congress shall have power aieht _ f the Senat |“ to establish a uniform rule of naturali- of Halifax, an wynn, o e Senate ; | zation ;” and Congress having the power, by prescribing a previous residence in our own country, of five years, and a declar- ation of an intention to become a citizen, in some Court of Record, atleast two years, before any foreigner shall be naturalized, it is manifest that any State which utider- takes to confer the right of citizenship on aliens with a shorter residence, and upon other terms than those declared in the Acts of Congress, commits an infraction on the Constitution, injurious to the other States. Andifthey are enumerated in the census of her population, so as to give her a greater number in the apportion- ment of Representatives, and. admitted to the right of suffrage in elections affecting the Union, she acquires importance and power beyond her due, and by means un- authorized by the Constitution. Yet,reg- ulations for (h¥- naturalization of foreign- ers, after a residence of but six months or other period less than that required by the Acts of Congress, have been introduced in several of the States, and are believed to have alrefdy bad an important inflaence in great National results. So alsothe Constitution in express terms provides, that criminals fleeing from jus- tice, in one State to another, and that per- sons held to labor escaping.into other States, shall be delivered up on proper de- mand to be carried tothe places whence they fled. Nevertheless, instances have occurred of refusal by State authorities to make such delivery, because the state of servitude, alleged in the particular case, did not exist in the State where the de- mand was made; or because the crime charged, was not regarded as an offence j there. No difference can be perceived, whether the crime be treason against a State. larceny 6f a slave or other rty; or whether the person demanded 2 a slave, orapprentice, a ward or infant child, the obligation under the Constitution, 4 deliver ap, in any and every of the cases, ig alike imperative and unavoidable. \ I have “thus particularly pointed out, State, have uniformly held, that the right of naturalization could only be acquired. ander the laws of the United States.

No State is more diver- its fields of labor, or its varieties : tion, than our at ma, of the people being, engaged in Agriculture, there are far more than a superficial observer would imagine, whovare, with perhaps greater profits em- ployed in the forests and fisheries, mines pr rae , comprehends every great cultivated in the Union, except Su- garandHemp. And itis difficult tosayin the present state of statistical information, which of our chief exports. of Cotton, To- batco, Rice, Wheat and Flour, or Indian Corn, isof the greatest value. While that of Cotton would seem to be the greatest, we must remember that fully one-third of the domestic supply of that article is man- ufactured at our own mills, and finds a market chiefly at home, in their manufac- tured state. These varieties of occupa- tion; and production, creating apparently diverse interests, may be made to contri- bute to mutual accommodation, and to multiply the bonds of fraternal feeling, if government will but open communications between different sections, and to the pro- | ducer a cheap and easy mode of transpor- tation to market, or shall encourage new employments, by means of which, the pro- duction shall find a market nearer home. In view of the great deficiency of facili- ties for tra rtation, under which we lobor in the larger portion of the State, an extended system of Internal Improve- ment, ora more general devotion of in- dustry to mining and manufacturing,would seem to he indispensable. If we cannot, i ).too great a loss of profits, send endeavor to bring a market nearer to them. This is most obviously our interest, espe- enue necéssary for the Federal Govern- ment, the practice of laying discriminat- ing duties for the protection of manufac- tures and other pursuits of domestic indus- try, seems to be a settled part of our na- tional policy. Unfamiliar with the de- tails of our affairs, it will hardly be ex . expected that I shall at present attempt any recommendation of specific measures te your consideration. This would indeed be presumptuous, after the lucid and in- teresting review of them in the message of my distinguished predecessor, at the opening of your present Session. I cannot however forbear to impress upon the Le- gislature, my deep conviction of the im- portance of his recommendation to under- _ take without delay, an Agricultural and | Geological survey of the State, with par- ticular reference to the discovery of means - to im our soil and cultivation.

At the head of the movement was Gen. Don Jose J. Herera, President of the Council, who addressed proclamation to the city, call- ing on it to sustain bim. The whole Congress immediately threw it- self into the arms of Herrera, who immediate. ly took possession of the National palace with- out bloodshed. The Congress continued its sessions perma- nent. The Ex-Ministers fled. Canalizo is in arrest at his own house. An attempt was made to destroy the statue of Santa Anna in the vestibule of the Theatre, and the people wished to break the bronze one in the market place, but were prevented by the authorities. On the next night General Her- rera had it privately removed. The new authorities maintained perfect quiet. The Chambers were occupied in devising means to remedy the incalculable injury the country has suffered. The principal towns, and, indeed all the coun- try, have pronounced against Santa Anna, who, with a small force, was at Queretaro. Santa Anna has but little chance of overcoming this movement, and it was uncertain whether he would attempt to escape or deliver himself up. In case that he is taken prisoner, the people will probably demand his execution, as they deem his liberty dangerous to the public safety. At the latest dates from Vera Cruz (Dec. 12,) affairs stood thus— . The departments of Sonora, Sinaloa, Jalisco, Zacatecas, and Agnascalientes were in a state of revolution, and in military possession of Gen. Paredes. ~ Gen. Santa Anna (with Cortazar) had mili- tary possession of the departments of Guana. juato and Queretaro. Santa Anna’s President ad interim, Canalizo, and his Ministers were imprisoned in Mexico, Congress had re-assembled, and a temporary constitutional Government was installed there, composed as follows, viz : Gen. Jose Joaquin de Herrera, President of the Council of Government, charged temporari- ly with the supreme executive authority. D. Luis CouragagCuevos, Minister of For- eign Relations, State and Police. D. Mariano Riva Palacios, Minister of Jus- tice, Public Instruction and industry. D. Pesdo J. Echeverria, Minister of Finance. D. Pedro Garcia Conde, Minister of War. And it was already known that the Depart- ments of Puebla and Vera Cruz had declared their adhesion to the provisional Government ; and there is no doubt that most of the other Departments will also support the Congress. Meanwhile Santa Anna is constitutional Pre- sident of the Republic, butwnconstitutionally in command of the troops employed against Pa- redes. The new Minister of War has ordered him to give up his command. Reports were current at Vera Cruz that a part of his troops had already proclaimed him Dictator ; that another part had declared against him ; but upon this point no information in au- thentic form had reached the public ear. If any sufficient portion of troops adheres to him, to enable him to continue the war, still he is surrounded by difficulties, being in the very heart of the republic, with Jalisco and its con- current departments to the Pacific against him on the one hand, and Mexico, with its concur- rent departments to the Gulf against him on the other hand. He may recover himself by some new turn in the wheel of Fortune, and resume his place as the constitutional President propietario of the Republic ; but this is hardly probable, as the public sentiment is almost unanimously against him, in nearly all the Departments. It seems more likely that he will have to yield patches. _ of competitors throughout the world.

The whole amount of votes cast was 9,999. This is 774 less than were given Dec. 23.

FRIDAY MORNING. LATEST FROM RALEIGH. The bill for foreclosing the Mortgage on the Raleigh & Gaston Rail-Road has passed the Senate, by the casting vote of the Speaker. It is doubtful whether the House will agree to the amendments made to the bill in the Senate. If not the bill will be lost. The bill to remove the Court-House of Lin- coln county, has been defeated. This is, we think, as it should be. The Register says : The Legislature of North Carolina seem de- termined that, so far as they can control the matter, that misfortune and crime shail no long- er have the same degree of punishment meted out tothem., A bill has just been passed into a law, “ more effectually to prevent the impris- onment of honest debtors.” It provides, in a issued against a debtor, unless the Plaintiff makes affidavit in writing, that the Defendant has not property to satisfy such Judgment which can be reached by a fieri facias, or has fraudu- lently concealed his property, or is about to re- move from the State. Power is also given to a Plaintiff, to proceed against bail at once, with- out having previously issued a Ca. Sa. against the Defendant. The expelled Senator from Onslow county, having been re-elected to the Legislature, re- turned and took his seat on the 3rd instant. We suppose he was re-elected without opposition, and only received 169 votes, when, at the Pre- sidential election, Onslow polled nine hundred. It occurs to us that she had done herself more honor by returning some body else. It is, how- same the world over. Find it where you may, it is in opposition to law, honor, and good morals. The Governor has appointed H. W. Graham, of Lincoln, to be Private Secretary. On Saturday last, says the Register of the 7th inst., “a paper was presented to the Senate, (except Ennett) in which Senators were openly charged, in so many words, with having commit- ted Judicial perry, in voting to expel the Sena- tor from Onslov..” The scene which ensued on the presentation of this paper, was exciting, in the highest degree: Messrs.

Meanwhile a great change has come over the eountry. Against all just calculation, by slarider, false- hood, and illegal suffrages Henry Clay and the Whig par- ty, and the best hopes of the Nation bave been defeated. But they are not vanquished—they are still the same— and more honored by such adversity than their opponents in their prosperity. ‘They are in reality stronger than when the trumpets were blown for the onset ; for ‘they have practically conquered in their principles, while they now know themselves to be virtually a majority of the American People. It belongs to the Whig party therefore still to stand un- dismayed and unbroken. The battleis but just begun.— New issues must constagjly arise to bind them close to- gether ; and the positions already Jong occupied by them, though falsely assutred, in part, by the enemy, for purpo~ ses of the hour, must naturally revert to their sole posses- sion, or become in their disjointed body the elements of dissolution. ’ At such a time, is it necessary to urge upon every one the importance of sustaining a National Review, corres- ponding to that which the Democratic party have long made an organ of influence so ably pernicious? Isit not even possible that if such a work had been for many years circulated throughout the Union, we might now be in pos- session of unquestioned victory? But as things are; it is certainly now more needed than ever before. since we were anation. Great questions are to be argued—great public measures are to be assailed or defended ; and it is time that the people in different sections who are alike op- posed to radicalism, corruption and misrule had on all de- finite matters of State greater uniformity of sentiment.— Unanimity alone gives power. Aside from Politics, the state of American Philosophy and Literature, so replete with speculation, error and false principles of taste, demands an earnest and vi or- gan, which may penetrate every part of the land and grad- ually influence the opinions of the present and rising gen- erations. To these ends the “ American Review” was begun : for these ends we ask for it the support of the country.— Its mere continuance is beyond contingency, but all know that, to be stamped with any cflective and permanent power, it must have a liberal subscription, through which its writers may be liberally paid. The following is from the original Prospectus issued at Washington by the Whig Members of the Twenty-Sev- eth Congress : “ Earnestly approving of the plan of such a National organ, long needed and of manifest importance, the un- dersigned agree to contribute for its pages, from time to time, such communications a3 may be requisite to set forth and defend the doctrines held by the united Whig Party of the Uaion.—Geo.

Ste- ns.” In addition to these, a number of able writers have been enlisted for its various other departments, so that every No. besides strong political artieles, will contain about 80 pages of Literary-Miscellany in History, Biography, Criti- cism, Fiction, Poetry, Statistics, Science and the Arts. No pains will be spared, or means left unemployed, tomake it the first of American periodicals. No. 1 has been for some time before the public. It was put forth under great disadvantages, but we are willing to abide by the impression it may make, It is intended asa rule to give only three or four Engravings in the year: but on these the cost of a dozen of the usual kind will be .ex- pended. No. 1, however, is embellished with two (mez- zotinto of Clay and Frelinghuysen) and No. 2 to be issued about Midwinter for February, will contain a finished likeness and sketch of one who has been for many years an honor to the nation. Its articles also are from some of the ablest pens among us. The conduct of the Review will be under the control of Groret H. Coiton, associated in the Political Departinent with other gentlemen of known standing and attainments. Each No. will contain,about 112 pages. Texxus—Five Dollars a year, to be paid on receiving the first and second Nos. To societies, Clubs, &c. five copies for QOrany person becoming responsible for four , will receive a fifth gratis.

The two agreed to ecuted their design. After an absence of | about eighteen months, they returned to the same neighborhood in which they for- about eighteen months, during which time they had one child. They received many threats from the neighbors, and from what | followed it is more than probable the | threats were carried into execution. One morning it was made known thatthe house occupied by this guilty pair and their child | had been consumed by fire. On examin- | ation of the premises, the bones of the | child were found in one corner of the house, the bones of the mother were resting on the chaff trick, which was not altogether consumed by the fire, and the remains of | the man were found in the middle of the | room, his heart being whole, and his head | seemed to have been severed from his bo- | dy!

The estimated demand of American cot- , ton for France is 420,000 bales; for the rest of the continent of Europe, 180,000 ; | for Great Britain, 1,480,000 bales. We have then the following result; Total supply, 2,750,000 bales. “ demand, 2.450,000 « Excess of supply, 300,000“ As the stocks have been_accumulating for years, and are now large beyond all precedent, this additional burthen of 300,- | 000 bales cannot but be felt very severely.

Such a visitor drew of course universal attention. But as the choir arose to sing, he scemed startled, and lifting himself on his wings, alighted on the stove pipe above him, where be sat bending his glossy neek | and turning his head so as to eatch the | harmony as it swelled through the Tem- ple of God. Whether it was the cho- rus of voices or the full-toned notes of the organ that captivated him I cannot tell; | but he sat the perfect picture of earnest attention till the music ceased. Waiting 2 moment as if to hear the strain commence again, he started from his perch and sailed to the top of the or- | gan, where he furled his pinions and sat | and Jooked down on the audience. The young clergyman arose to pray. He is | distinguished for the earnestness and fer- vor of his invocations, and as he stood | with his hands around the Bible which | lay clasped before him, humbly beseech- | ing the Father of all Good to send his Ho- | ly Spirit down, that beautiful bird pitched | from its resting place on the organ, and | sailing down on “level wing the whole | length of the church, perched on the Bible | directly between the hands of the clergy- | man. : It was merely a natural occurrence, but how beautiful the picture. There stood | the messenger of God with face toward | heaven pleading for heaven’s blessing— the Bible before him, around which his hands were reverently clasped, while on it stood that beautiful and innocent dove. | The three thus together formed a group full of interest, and symbolizing all that is dear to man. The Word of God was before the people, with God’s chosen em. | them both as he prayed. | nocence and purity and the Divine Spirit | itself—standing on the Bible and looking gently down on them. Beautiful bird, it | centered for atime the affections of all on it; and he who could have injured it there, would have injured hundreds of hearts at the same time. The pressure of its tiny feet was no sacrilege there, for the expression of its soft eye was inno- cence and love. | The clergyman feeling the presence of | the bird, and fearing it might distract the | attention of his hearers, gently passed his | hand over the Bible. The dove, unstar- | tled, merely hopped over on the cushion, where it sat till prayer was ended. It then rose and sailed away. In former times the dove would have been regarded as a sent on a special mission in answer to prayer, and awakened feelings of aw and reverence. To us it was only a natural but unsual occurrence, awakening simply the senti- ment of beauty. It was a new and acci- dental ficure introdaced suddenly into a beautiful picture, giving greater harmony and perfection to what we deemed pertect before. There was no religion in it, but it was full of beauty.—N. Y. Observer. CURIOUS DISCOVERY. A French Chemist, Professor Debzenne, has discovered that silk rags may be turn ed back into silk again! In the same way that cautchouch is drawn out into fil- aments, and woven into a durable mate- rial, so are these remnants of silk reduced to what is more than its primitive state, viz: a glutinous paste, by means of a dis- solvent. The melted silk, like fused glass, re-acquires, on coming into the air, all its original strength and tenacity. Having found-the best dissol vent of the cautchouch (the distillation of this elastic resin,) Pro- tessor D, was not deceived when he tho’t he could also distil silk, which he found to be the true medium for its dissolution. The erude silk, and that which is net dyed, present has found no difficulty bat with the dyed portions of silk, and more espe- cially the black ones, but he hopes by con- tinuing his close attention to the subject, to overcome this difficulty. At this rate .there.will be no need of winding, spinning, and all that tedious ; ;. because if Silk can be made from dissolved. rags, it will. be.just as. well. to dissolve the cocoons in the first instance. And if the discovery should prove all that it has claimed to be it will work. a com- 4 ‘ele hein ip a ess ye Ps Bi ~- a iia "2 akg : Ee SS \ nope me . - - a! ee ate eed fe ats. f ; i es =. nig Wt ai rot mz, > age ALISBURY, N. pa | J.

SOUTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE. ‘This body convened in this place on the 25th ult., and will adjourn to-day. Bishop Soule took the chairyand next day Bisbop Andrew, af the request of Bishop Soule. Among varions cther proceedings which we have not time to notiec to-day, the ac- tion of the Southern Delegates to the Gen- eral Conference, on the crse of Bishop Andrew, and the division of the Charch, was unanimously approved; a division | was considered inevitable, so that it was | unanimously resolved not to concur in the proposal of the ffolston Annual Confer- ference, to meet in Louisville in May next, to devise some plan of compromise be- | tween the Conferences of the slavehold- ing S'ates. This was evidently wise and judicious, and still further commands the | Church to the confidence of our people, | since itis plain no compromise whatever | ean be made by the South between Sla- | very and Abolition—none but what mast | inevitably look to the overthrow of the | former, and increase the immediate dan- | ver of the South.

The following gentlemen were appoint- ed Delegates to the General Conference of the Southern Charch, to meet in Louis- ville, Kentucky, on the first of May next: —Rev. Messrs. Doct. Capers, Wm. M. Whightman, Chas. Betts. H. A. C. Walk- er, Saml. Dunwody, B. English, White- foord Smith, Saml. W. Capers, and Robert Bishop Soule, on taking the chair on Wednesday, gave the following statement of the imminent peril he enceuntered a- bout four miles from this city, by stage accident, from which his life was most re- markably and Providentially saved; as reported by the correspondent of the Sou- thern Christian Advocate.—Carolinian. “He had made his approach to Colum- bia, under very peculiar circumstances, and felt himself very specially indebted to had been spared. Last evening the stage | and the coach made a perfect wreck. He had been often before, in perils by land and | sea, but never in such imminent danger of | death in all the course of his life. To God’s | providential care he attributed his preser- | vation. Nota hair of his head was hurt. | He hoped that God would be with the | conference at its present session, and pre- | side most graciously over all its delibera- | tions, and guide all its counsels to the pro- | motion of his glory and the further spread of Christ’s kingdom among men. The statement made by Bishop Soule of his preservation produced a strong impres- | sion upon the Conference. He was on his | way from Fayetteville, N.C., to Columbia by stage; and after the wreck of the | | stage-coach, be walked at night some four miles into town. The Whirlwind of Pulestine—-The | ‘whirlwind sometimes assumes the shape | and position of the waterspout, the vacu- | -um being filled with earth, sand, &c., in- stead of water.

In that vast expanse | of desert, from west to northwest of him, ‘he saw a number of prodigious pillars of | 'sand, at different distances, moving at | | times with great celerity, at others stalk- | ing on with majestic slowness ; at inter- ‘vals he thought they were coming, in a. ‘few minutes, to overwhelm him and his /companions. Again they would retreat, | | so as to be almost out of sight, their tops | reaching to the very clouds. There the tops often separated from the bodies, and | | these, once disjointed, dispersed in the air, | ‘and appeared no more. Somtimes they | | were broken near the middle, as if strack with a large cannon shot. About noon | they began to advance with considerable | | swiftness upon them, the wind beingstrong | ‘at north. Eleven of these awful visiters | ranged along side of them at about the | distance of three miles. The greatest di- | ameter of the largest appeared to him, at | that distance, as if it would measure ten | feet. They retired from them with a wind at southwest, leaving an impression upon the mind of our intrepid traveller to which he would give no name ; though. he can- didly admits that one ingredient in it was feat mixed with a considerable deal of wonder ‘and astonishment.

The sun, shining through the pillars, which were thicker, and contained more sand, apparently.than any of the precedingones, seemed to give those nearest them an ap- pearance as if spotted with stars of gold.

These returns further | show that in ten countie | for the prosecution of insolvent criminals and their maintenance in jail, for the year 1839, amounted to the sum $4,110 97, $411 10. of State prison offences, and that is a fair | average for each county. From these data | then we have the sum of $15,000 00 an- | nually expended in the State of North | Carolina, for the prosecution and main- tenance, in jail, of insolvent criminals, charged wi-h the commission of peniten- | tiary offences. Assuming, then, that a | penitentiary would be a public charge of | $10,000 00 annually (which it probably would not be,) it would be a saving of | inal law. | Asto the cost of construction, the com- ittee do not possess sufficient informa- | tion to enable them to make any estimate | which they can confidently recommend as | being correct.

Your committee are not insensible of the claims which propositions for other public insti- tutions of perhaps equal importance, have | upon the favorable consideration of the people and of the Legislature. The deaf /and dumb—the blind and the insane, have | claims upon the public sympathy and the ‘legislative bounty. Their misfortunes— their sufferings, and their helpless condi- | tion appeal to us through urgent impulses | of hamanity, and the sternest teachings of ‘public duty. Almost every civilized com- | munity has responded to these appeals in the establishment of suitable institutions and asyfums. The happy results of these State charities have more than realized expectation, Hundreds have been rescu- ed from the sufferings and horrors of in- sanity. and restored to reason and to soci- ety. Deaf and dumb mutes haye been elevated from the mere animal existence of the brute to the sentient and moral con- dition of intelligent man. those whose organs of sight are closed a- gainst the ordinary modes of instruetion— has been given that intellectual vision, | | | to be freed from continual dependence— to be useful in society—and to find sources of enjoyment and happiness in stores of intellectual acquirements. The commit- tee, therefore, would not invoke exclusive attention to the special subject committed to their inquiry, excluding or postponing all others, alike entitled to public consid- eration, but are still deeply impressed with its great importance, and the propriety and necessity of some expression of pub- | lic opinion. | The Committee have annexed to this Report, and ask that they may be taken | as part of it, two tables, which may serve for reference and comparison: One mark- | ed A, exhibiting the number of convictions ' for the crimes annexed, in each year, du- ring 14 years astaken from the Register, of the Auburn.Prison, N.

One of the “light-fingered gentry” stepp- ed into the shop of a Townsman of ours, a few days ago, and after the necessary manceuvres of watching and diverting the attention of the shop-keeper, conclud- ed that the anxious opportunity was pre- sented, and accordingly seized a pound plug of fine tobacco, which lay in his reach, and thrust it, like magic, in his bosom. Although the trick was done in the most approved way—in real rogue-Itke style, yet | mark the sequel of the story. The Gro- cer “let on,” awhile, as if he knew nothing about it, and closely watched the future motions of his customer ; but, never- theless, had determined, in his mind, how the case was to be disposed of. In the meantime, the talk went on; and though Mr. Lightfinger joined in, occasion- ally, he could not talk; and when he would laugh, it was no laugh ; when he looked, it was mean; and there was a sort of nerv- ous twitching which seemed to pervade the whole man, to the entire discomfiture of | the gracefulness and ease of honest nature. Some minutes had elapsed, and still the wretch was in posssesion of his prize. He walked to the door to depart; and as his foot touched old mother earth, and he in- | haled the revelling air of heaven beyond the sight of the Grocer, he doubtless felt relieved of a portion of anxiety, and began to chuckle at his Success. But hark ! the voice of the—.. Grocer.—Hallo, Mister, I want to see door :] What you do with the tobacco yon had ? [taking him by the coat collar.] Lightfinger—T ve got no tobacco ! his voice trembling. ] Grocer.— Where you put it? [passing his hands over the fellow’s sack-coat pockets. } Lightfinger —Why you—you sheer me man !—you feel my pockets—I’ve got no tobacco ! Grocer.—W herg you put it? did you put | it in a raspy ag which seems to have off si the restraints which truth, oe or Le ro Aes require. Where one has the rty task to’perform of furnishing forge- ve so as to give it the a of a ining ‘ttue.: and of clothing crime in the habiliments of innocence, no little audaci- the requisite, as the case before us shews. e improvements of the present day seem sist, not so much in the invention of al falsehoods, but in sticking to them in the face of truths apparent to the world as the sun at noon, in a clear sky. The Standard asserts, that several dare ju aory after its presentation, before Ennett expressed any doubt of the sac ineness of his certificate. Mr. Ennett pre- sented his certificate, and expressed his doubts the next Fite hy to Mr. Stone.— This was proved b y the latter gentleman. So it seems he held his seat, and prevent- ed the organization of the Senate for four days after he expressed a doubt whether it was forged or not.

But there were reasons e- nough for suspicion, independently of the fact that forgery and fraud were the order | of the day among the Polkites. The cer- tificate was professedly received without | any known means of conveyance, and the | silly story about somebody’s coming at bed- time, and leaving it in a blank envelope, and running’ away so quick as not to be seen, was sufficient to induce any person | of common sense to know that all was not | right. Under these circumstances the sig- nature was examined, and doubted by those who had seen the hand-writing of | the Sheriff of Onslow. reasons for Mr. Hellen’s being busy in the | matter. Is it, then, so difficult for politi- | motives of honest men? Here isa dilem- | ma—an editor at a loss to divine how Mr. | Hellen should desire to have business con- ducted fairly and honestly ; Auite in a quandary, is he, about a gentleman’s anx- iety to detect such a small matter as a is Mr. Holden to know why Mr. Hellen, or to set “ cheek by jowl” with a political Yes, yes, the Polkites expect aman to give tice and honesty prevail. because we expressed the belief that Mr. Ennett was the “dupe of political vil- lains,” and asks if we desire “to be re- garded as even intimating that any Sena- tor or member of the democratic party | here, connived at the forgery, &c.” We here assisted Mr. Ennett to concoct the for- gery or not, but think it very likely. strongest suspicions certainly rested in an- other quarter ; but if thé party here did not | help to commit the forgery, they help to sustain it, and are participaters in its cri- minality. If the editor of the Standard is doubtful, we would be “ regarded” as “ intimating” relative to Senators, or to the members of | said party, they have but to read our re- marks on the Onslow case, over again, published in the last Independent. or sentence that we wish to deprive of its full import and meaning.—Ralergh Inde- pendent. z New-York, Dec. 30. Two mouted companies, consisting of sixty men fully armed and equipped, left this city to- | day i in the steamboat for Hudson, upon a requi- sition of Gov. Bouck ; they are accompanied by General Storms. Troops have also been sent | from Albany. The anti-renters threaten to go | all lengths to rescue those of their leaders who are now in confinement. The Governor is as | much blamed now for his extreme precautiona. | ry measures as he was formerly for his inert- | ness and want of decision. There was a meeting at the Astor House on | Saturday evening, called by Wm. B. Astor, Esq. and other citizens, for the purpose of adopting measures to procure a marble statue of Henry Clay. A committee was appointed to receive | subscriptions, and it was resolved that Mr. Crawford, a young American artistt, recently | from Rome, Bat now in this city, should be em. | ployed upon the proposed work. Appropriate resolutions were adopted, expressive of the hi igh sense which the meeting entertained of Mr. Clay’s services and his claims to the lasting gratitude of the American people.

FRIDAY MORNING. From the Pet. Intelligencer, of January 14. THE DUEL setween MESSRS. CLING. MAN AND YAN@GEY. The Baltimore Sun of this morning has the following, which is the latest intelligence about | the meeting between Messrs. Clingman and | Yancey :— Up to six o’clock yesterday evening, neither | of the parties had been arrested, though we could | not learn that either had left the city. Appli- | | cation at points most likely to furnish correct information, yielded nothing. All that we have _heard is that an earnest endeavor has been | matter amicably. We understood late last eve- ning, that all those interested, except the prin. | drel. in tt fas ny | cipals, had gone to Washington, in the hope of } Butter, scoundrel, in the character of a Senator!! | there making an arrangement, which would | prevent a meeting. The gentlemen ‘are, or | have been, at the respective residences of legal | | friends in this city. We were told yesterday evening , when ap- | plying for information at one of the places, that | | the gentleman of the house was not in the city. | One thing appears to be certain, that up to the | | writing of this, the parties have not met in hos- | tile combat. | P. S.—At nine o’eclock last night we learned, the difficulty between Messrs. Clingman and | Yancey, amicably, had entirely failed—and that | the only by an exchange of shots. It was understood | that no compromise could be made, and that the | door for reconciliation was entirely closed. | is altogether probable, that while we are wri- ting this, the parties are on their way to the field the affair will be terminated. More Trouble in the Episcopal Church. —We find in the Episcopal Recorder, pub- | lished at Philadelphia, an article headed “Recent Developments in New York,” in which it is stated that a sort of conspira- | cy has been discovered amongst some of | the members of the General Theological | | Seminary in N. York, the object of which | appears to be to render the institution, as | far as practicable, subservient to the prin- ciples and policy of Rome.—It is said that | the association has its common zeal, with | with C. U. (Catholic Unity,) upon it, its secret meetings, and its correspondence with the Papal authorities in New York. The Recorder states that the 7th of Janu- had been appointed for the trial of the | offenders by the Faculty, and calls upon | the Bishops to meet the solemn responsi- | bilities which such developments devolve upon them as the visitors of the General Theological Seminary of the Church. | MR.

Do not wait to be asked to sit down. If you are a gentleman keep your hat on. Address the male occupant of the house as “My Good Man,” and his wife as “ My Good Woman ;” or, if you find it necessary to assert your dignity, omit the “ good ” altogether. Say “ Boy” and “ Girl” to the children as the case may be. Your first object is to impress the vis- ited with a due sense of their distance from yourself. For this reason, if they remain stand- ing in your présence, never suggest that they should sit. Inquire in the most direct and unceremonious way, if pen: what their rent is—how they are etnployed—what amount they earn—and in what way they spend it? Insist on knowing exactly how mnch they give for coal; what quantity they burn ; and what becomes of the | cinders?

For household purposes the most convenient way will be to provide a number of earthernware jars, each cover, like that in a teapot, which may be stopped easily. The meat may be first partly boiled and deprived of its bones, and be then put, with part of the | to a boil. the jars the covers must be put on them | and fixed down air-tight, the steam gene- | rated in the meantime being suffered to escape from the orifices in the lids.

The fire | | originated about midway of the boilers, | | probably from some defect in the furnaces, | and spread with astonishing rapidity. The alarm was instantly given, and the passengers, most of whom were asleep, with the exception of three, succeeded in making their escape. The flames spread upwards and through the cabin, so swiftly on the after guards. The wind was blow- A Mr. Dalrymple, his wife, and son, ther and son occupied a state room in the ter:a room in the ladies’ cabin. From the probable Mr. Dalrymple and his son per- | bin, when the mother fainted and fell ;— the flames rushing in, the daughter had barely time to save her life, by letting her- self down on the after guard. Thus, the father, mother and son, it is believed, per- ished in the flames. Mr. D. was from Lynn, Mass., and was moving toa farm in the vicinity of Carlinville, Ill. He had on board a Jarge amount of valuable proper- ty, all of which was lost. A Mr. M’Lane and his lady had barely time to escape in the clothes in which they were sleeping. Mr. M’L. had upwards of $5,500 in gold in his trunk, which was lost. There were but few persons in the ca- must have been lost, as there was not time to have awakened them.

This lib. eral and equitable measure on the part. of the Locofocos, (for the iniquitous motion originated with that immaculate party,) if successful, will | unquestionably affect the value of the whole Pub- ic Domain very seriously! And will the injury done stop at this? No. For, beyond douht, the temptation to a large number of the inhabi- tants of the Old States, to remove west in search of cheap but rich lands thrown into market by the Federal Government, will drain them of a large portion of their population, and considera- bly lessen the value of their lands. Do the People of the old States desire to witness such a deplorable state of things? if they do not,— let them speak to their servants in the Congress of the United States in such language, as will force them to respect their rights. The debate on this unjust and illiberal. pro- position, has called forth sentiments from Re- presentatives of the Western States, which we think, should arouse the People of the old States to a true sense of the danger of longer permit- ting this question to remain unadjusted, and cause them before it is too late, to-use the pow- er which they now have in securing at least -a part of this fund which of right belongs to them. For ourselves, we do not see what the Re. presentatives of the old States mean by setting quietly by, without resisting to the utmost these ungenerous attempts of the West to secure to themselves the proceeds of this land, by grad- uation and donation.

Paredes | being in close pursuit with an army of | — | 9,000 men, but maneuvring and avoiding | | a conflict, as a matter of policy, as Santa | I Anna’s forces were daily decreasing, on | account of desertions from his ranks, while | Gen. P. was rapidly acquiring strength. A decree had been issued by the Mexi- /ean Congress, declaring Santa Anna a | traitor and an outlaw, and authorizing any | who may meet with him to take his life. | Measures had also been adopted to pre- | | vent his escape, by guarding the different | seaports and other outlets, and itis believ- | ed that he must eventually be captured. | A person named Arellano, an individual in the interest of Santa Anna, with addi- tional confidential correspondence, had been taken, and it was supposed he would | | be executed. Mr. Tripler states that the whole coun- | try is in a state of the utmost confusion— 'robberies of travellers were committed daily, and he himself was twice stripped of whatever was valuable about him, in his progress through Mexico, but without any indignity being offered to his person. _It is the opinion of Mr. T. from what he could learn, that the new government would be as much if not more virulently opposed to the annexation of Texas as the former, and states that Americans are held in great abhorrence, and receive frequent insults at the hands of the Mexicans.

This Territory would be on our | own acknowledged svil, and would com- mand the grand pass between the Atlan-— tic and Pacitic Oceans.

Widower Smith’s wagon stopped one morn- | ing before widow Jones’ door, and he gave the | usual country signal, that he wanted somebody | in the house, by dropping the reins and setting | Out tripped the widow, lively as a cricket, with a ; tremendous black ribbon on her snow-white Good morning was soon said on both | ‘double with his elbows on his knees. cap. | sides, and the widow waited fur what was far- | ther to be said. |“ Well, Ma’am Jones, perhaps you don’t want | to sell one of your cows, no how, for nothing, any way, do yeu?” “ Well, thére, Mr. Smith, you couldn’t have spoke my mind better. A poor, poor lone wid- ‘der like me, does not know what to du with so | many critters, and should be glad to trade if we | can fix it.’ | So they adjourned to the meadow. Father | Smith looked at Roan—then at the widow—at | the Downing cow—and then at the widow again | —and so on throngh the whole forty. The same | call was made every day for a week, but Farm- | er Smith could not decide which cow he wanted. At length on Saturday, when widow Jones was in a hurry to get through with her baking for | | Sunday—and had “ever so much” todo inthe | | House, as all farmers’ wives and widows have on Saturday, she was a little impatient. Farm- er Smith was as irresolute as ever. “That ’ere Downing cow is pritty fair crea- ture—” but he stopped to glance at the widow's | face, and then walked round her—not the wid- | ow but the cow. | “That ’ere short horn Durham is not a bad looking beast, but I dun’t know ”—another look at the widow. “The Downing cow I knew befure the Jate | Mr. Jones bought her.” “Here he sighed at the allusion to the late Mr. Jones, she sighed, and | both looked at each other. It was a highly in- teresting moment, Brindle—but I have known: better.” A Jong stare followed this speech—the pause was get- ting awkward, and at last Mrs. Jones broke out— After much ea wad yi § ped into his’ corn barn ‘and brought out | 5 as t United Statep,e peek ree ape . ese a Pe a vhie ture rather than to po * ‘to Mr. Webster, I ean (eed Keer. — arent : mongst the. strongest ith the e Senate, and tari a next, is to he aided to Ly comparison with any_of its will be the point to viieh een! the Union wil look for th tion of that cause_ and r are yet destined to tise in tr) “WELL'SAl The“ Lincolnton Courier,” 0 a Democratic Journal, takes th Paki common sense view of the conduc political brethren in Exnert’s-¢ “ The Democratic.

Coriiwajlis pronounced the country be- tween the Yadkin and Catawba, the most rebellious district in America; and he found his reception at Charlotte, in 1780, so warm and his stay so much embarras- sed by the unceremonious mannerin which the surrounding inhabitants were in the habit of paying their respects to his Lord- ship, and those under his command, that he had to retire into S. Carolina to avoid such annoying calls; and the recollection of their sojonrn in that place induced the Brifish’soldiers to entitle it “ The Hornet’s Nest.” An extract from Tarleton’s History of the Southern Campaigns, of 1780 and 81, herewith communicated marked A. will shew the manner in which the enemies of America were received by the inhabitants of North Carolina.

The vi- gilance and animosity of these sarround- ing districts checked the exertions of the well affected, and totally destroyed all communication between the King’s troops and loyalists in the other parts of the pro- vince. No British commander could ob- tain any information in that position, which would facilitate his designs, or guide his future condact. Every report concerning the measures of the Governor and Assem- bly would undoubtedly be ambiguous ; ac- counts of the preparations of the Militia could only be vague and uncertain ; and all intelligence of the real force and move- ments of the Continentals must be totally unattainable. “The foraging parties were every day harrassed by the inhabitants, who did not remain at home, to receive payment for the produce of their plantations, but gen- erally fired from covert places, to annoy the British detachments. Ineffectual at- tempts were made upon convoys coming from Camden, and the intermediate post at Blair’s Mill; but individua!s with ex- presses were frequently murdered. An attack was directed against the picket at iles from the town ;— The Americans were gallantly received by Lieutenant Guyon, of the 234 regiment; and the fire of bis party from a loop-holed building adjoining the mill, repulsed the assailants. Notwithstanding the differ- shim, may be obtained, and | ent checks and losses sustained by the mi- | d their osiilities with unwearied perseverance ; and the British troops were so effectually blockaded in their present position, that very few, out of a great number of mes- litia of the district, they continue beginning of October, to give intelligence of Ferguson’s situation.” mae SRN tase A Shocking Story.—The Milton | Chronicle of the 15:h Jan. says :—* Tur. | her Johnson, of Orange, was Sbockly mur- | dered by his daughter (about 12 years of age) on the night of the 6th inst.

You will perceive, in the second place, that this treaty contains many provisions which are not embraced either in the English treaty of Nanking, or in the treaty supplementary there- to, which comprehends the tariff and the com- mercial regulations, First. The tariff is amended, by the reduc- tion of the duties on some articles of American production, and by fixing, with greater precision, what goods are contraband, or subjects cf mo- nopoly. | There is nothing in the Engtish treaties to , limit the power of the Emperor in the exclusion of articles of import or export. Thus be might render all the commercial | privileges nugatory, by prohibiting the exporta- | tion of tea and silk. and the importation of cot- | ton or cotton fabrics; or he might obstruct the : a | commerce in these or any other articles, by ma- rties, the language of the stipula-| Engl own relief or for the pri ection of the ships and citizens r for their ienak it would be’ iriconvénient to go as far as the day to Keep a ship of Fifteenth.

The article of the treaty does not specify to whom communications from the U. States shal! be addressed, it being left to the discretion. of the American Government to elect whom it will address, not excepting the Emperor. Upon this point f shall make to you a sepa. rate communication, with reference as well to its importance as for the purpose of indicating the parties at Cou:t, whom it will be most con. venient fur the Secretary of State to address, when occasion shall arise. Sizteenth. In regard to opium, which is not directly mentioned in the English treaties, it is provided hy the treaty of Wang Hiya, that citi- zens of the U. States engaged in this or any other contraband trade shall receive no protec- | king them the subject of close monopoly, as is now the case with salt. This is guarded against in the treaty of Wang Hiya, by making the objects of contraband and monopoly a matter of stipulation between the Governments. And no modifications of the | tariff are to be made without the consent of the | U. States, Second. By the English treaties, the Consul | is security fur the payment of duties, and is bound to prosecute for all infractions of the rev- |; enue laws of China. This is to transfer to the British Government the office and responsibili- ty of paying duties, which involves much of regulation and of form in the prosecution of trade, which experience has already shown to be inconvenient to the subjects as well as the Government of Great Britain. All this is avoi- ded in the treaty of Wang Hiya, by making the duties payable in cash, which is perfectly ac- ceptable to the merchant, and in accordance with the course of business in China. A ship which, having touched at Canton, has there paid tonnage duties, and discharged a part of her cargo, may proceed with the residue to any other port in China, without being subject } | | of the peculiar provisions of this treaty. tion from the American Government, nor shall the flag of the U. States be abusively employ- ed by other nations as a cover for the violation of the laws of China. Upon this poiut, also, I shall have occasion to address to you a separate despatch.

I ascribe all possible honor to the ability dis- played by Sir Henry Pottinger in China, and to the success which attended his negotiations ; and I recognise the debt of gratitude which the | United States and all other nations owe to Eng- land for what she has accomplished in China. From all this mucb benefit bas accrued to the United States.

He continued to travel along the western base of the snowy range of the cascade mountains until December 10, when he arrived at Hamath Lake.

While there the crown of Lombardy was offered to him, but he refused it be- cause the Emperor made it a condition of acceptance, that he should renounce. his claim to the succession of the empire, and moreover, that he should pay an annual tribute to France. In 1806, at the head of an army of 40,- 000 men, he was commissioned to over- throw the English and Russian domina- tion in Naples, and the throne of Queen He easily and rapidly effected the conquest, and his own brow bore the crown which he had conquered.

This was done. | Four persons belonging to the Semina- | ry, as students, were found guilty of hold- | ing heretical opinions.

A more delicate and ac- of human life than the is pot often met with, though lately incapable of turning his good sense to a practical jen he came to act for him- the forms and ceremonials of society — This, of course, is of easy acquisition when the mind is once bent upon the task. The practice of the small proprieties of life to a congenial spirit soon ceases to be a stu- dy; it rapidly becomes a mere habit, or ' an untroubled and unerring instinct. This is always the case when there is no sed- entary labor by the midnight lamp to pro- duce an ungainly stoop in the shoulders, | and a conscious defect of grace and pli- ancy in the limbs ; and where there is no aSstract thought or poetic vision to dissi- pate the attention, and blind us to the tri- vial realities that are passing immediate- ly around us. Some degree of vanity and a perfect self-possession are absolutely es- struction. There are some who seem born for the boudoir and the ball-room, while others are as little fitted for fashionable society as a fish is for the open air and the dry land. They who are more fami- lia® with books than with men, cannot look calm and pleased when their souls on account of its difficulty to themselves, and the provoking ease with which it ap- persons often find, asin that of: Polonius, ‘both sential; but high intellect is only an ob- | = : oO his tongue than to his heart. No oneis sur- prised at the innamerable wise saws and proverbial phrases that issue from the lips of the most silly and ignorant old women in all ranks of life, in town and couftry, in and in courts. In the eonver- “ matter and. impertine His advice is not that of a @ courtier and man of the world. He'e- choes the common wisdom of his associ- ates :— “ Give every man thine ear, but few thy Voice : Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment.” He is indebted to his court edacation for this mean and heartles#maxim. To lis- ten eagerly to the communications of oth- ers, and to conceal his own thoughts, is the first lesson that a courtier learns. Let us quote another specimen of his paternal admonitions— “ Neither a borrower nor a lender be ; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.” Polonius might have picked up this mar- vellous scrap of prudence in some petty tradesman’s shop; not, however, in a pawnbroker’s, for the sign of which it would form a very forbidding motto,— There are a few precepts in the parting mixed,” advice of Polonius of a somewhat higher | | character; but they are only such as float ” | about the world, and are repeated on ac- | casion by all well-intentioned people.— | They are not of that high and original cast which Shakspeare would have put |into the mouth of Hamlet, or any other | thoughtful and noble-hearted personage. lt seems paradoxical to affirm that men ho are out of the world know more of | the philosophy of its movements than those who are in it; but it is nevertheless per- fectly true, and easily accounted for. The | busy man is so rapidly whirled about in | the vast machine, that he has not leisure to observe its motion. An observer sta- | tioned on a hill that overlooks a battle can | see more distinctly the operations of either | direct and counsel others who are strug- | gling through the labyrinths of life.

Though I have alluded tothe tendency of some particular professions to indurate the heart and limit or wrapthe judgment, I should be sorry, indeed, if the remarks that I have ventured upon this subject should be regarded as an avowal of hos- tility toward any class whatever of my fellow-creatures. I should be guilty of a gross absurdity and injustice, if I did not readily admit that intellect and virtue are not confined to one class or excluded from another. Men are, generally speaking, very much the creature of circumstance ; but there is no condition of life in which the soul has not sometimes asserted her independence of all adventitious distinc- | tions; and there is no trade or profession in which we do not meet with men who | are an honor to human nature.

He who would analyze the seemingly contra- | dictory elements, in which man moves and has | his being, need not wonder at the discontent, the happiness, the ‘restlessness, the vanity, the pride, the show of wealth, the desire to conceal it, the arrogant claims of learning, the attrac- tions of beauty, the workings of retired talent | the multiplicity of noisy nothings ; all of which | have their day and sway. > | There is the retired man of business, over. are inwardly perplexed.

And this is life! There is the rich sleeping partner. . His sleepiness goes abroad to.air bis other faculties, and get awake—travels every where. but into counting houses—he knows Glasgow, Manches- ter, Liverpool, and Lyons as matters of histo- ry, and London, Paris and Naples as matters of fact—perhaps he carries a winning card, in the shape of a wife, who by a sweet presence and voluble discourse, secures for them Ambassado- rial letters, presentations at Court, and whatev- er else their ingenuity may devise. Having contracted a heavy load of European reminis- cences, they come home and tip up; but the monotonous humdrum of American life soon be- comes insipid, and off they go to be again mere spectators of stars and garters in * the elder world. Whilst repeating this dilicious experi- ment, a letter niirked “ private,” comes from the American firm premonitory of coming ill, and arrests the enjoyment ‘of their. carnival.— Ere long, they find themselves upon the billows both real and imaginary, not knowing what may befal them.

A recluse philosopher is unable to re- turn a simple salutation without betraying his awkwardness and uneasiness to the quitk eye of the man of the world. He exhibits a ludicrous mixture of humility and pride. He is indignant at the assur- ance of others, and is mortified at his own timidity. He is vexed that he should suf- fer those whom he feels to be his inferiors to enjoy a temporary superiority. He is ble him, and ashamed that they should make him ashamed. Such a man, when he enters into society, brings all his pride, but leaves his vanity behind him. Pride wholly incons allows our wounds to remain exposed, and makes them doubly irritable; but vanity, as Sancho says of sleep, seems to cover a man all over as with a cloak. A contem- plative spirit can not concentrate its at- tention on minute and uninteresting cere- monials, and a sense of unfitness for soci- ty makes the most ordinary of its duties a painful task.

Thomas Jolly, minister of Dunnet, in the county of Caithness, died in the manse there, on Monday, the 2nd ult., at the patriarchal age of ninety-one. Mr. Jolly was the oldest preacher in Scot- | land, having been upwards of sixty-five years at Dunnet. He retained his facul- ties to the last, and preached regularly till within a few weeks of his death, with all the vigor and clearness of his early youth.

THE TRIBUNE OFFICE DESTROYED. , We regret to state that on Thursday the 6th | »,¢imstant, the printing office of the New York ‘Tribune, was entirely consumed by fire. The fire-wasdiscovered at four o’clock in the morn- ing inthe Tribune buildings, corner of Spruce and Nassau Streets, and before it could be sup- pressed, that establishment, the periodical de- pot of W. H. Graham, the book and stationers’ establishment of Jansen & Bell, and several other establishments, were destroyed, together withall their contents. The loss of Messrs. Greely & McElrath, of the Tribune, is estima- “ted at 10,000 dollars—insurance $8000. An attempt was made in the New York Le- _ gislature, recently, to introduce the subject of a -ofegistry law in the form of a bill “to ascertain ~ by proper proofs the persons entitled to vote in the ecity’and county of New York,” and was | “3 met at the very threshold by the opposition of stated clearly, and we may say forcibly, Locofocoism.

FRIDAY MORNING. THE TEXAS QUESTION. A movement took place in the Senate, yesterday, on the subject of “ Annexation,” | not less important in itself than it was for , the indication of sentiment which it drew from several Senators in regard to the | joint resolution of the House of Represen- tatives, and the light which was thereby | shed on the probable fate of that measure. | __ The bill heretofore introduced by Mr. | Benton touching the annexation of Texas | was, at his request, taken up pro forma, | to enable him to offer a substitute for that bill. The substitute itself will be found | in the proceedings of the Senate under the proper head. The introduction of this substitute the honorable mover prefaced with some remarks, in which he enumer- ated various objections to the joint resolu- tion of the House of Representatives, and | | ' course of a short debate which arose ona | motion to refer the substitute to the Com- | mittee on Foreign Affairs, very clearly in- | dicated his opinion that the measure of | annexation was one which could only be | effected by the treaty-making power. | After a brief debate, (of which some ; account will be given in our next,) Mr. that ever come in our way.

Kingsbury, of _the brig Romon de Zaldo, arrived yester- | day from Vera Cruz, which port he left on the 14th of January, for intelligence to | that date. Gen. Santa Anna, after hav- | ing made five different attacks on the city of Peubla, had been repulsed on each at- | tack with some considerable loss, has been , obliged to decamp with all his.troops, a- mounting to about 4000 men, and accord- ing to the latest news from Jalapa, he is on his way to Vera Cruz, but he must passa defile 15 miles from Jalapa, whi is well fortified and commanded by Gen. Jose Rineon in person. If Santa Anna should be successful here he will meet with obstacles from troops | | ! Wil’ me. | ew “SE, Gare F< Here the: t = > a " A « Ca Z.

In view of this commission, I doubt not, that seconding the philanthropy by which I am animated, you will order the forces | under your command to suspend, on their part, all hostilities, and avoid the effusion of blood, which should be carefully pre- served to be shed only when necessary, and against a foreign foe. God and Liberty. Hlead Quarters, Jan. 10, 7 P. M. Antonio Lorez De Santa Ana. To Gen. Don Ienacto De Yneran. It may be that this is only a ruse on the part of Santa Anna to gain time, in order to strike a more decisive blow. He is too shrewd a tactician not to see a check mate in a brief delay. It is very evident, however, that thus far he has had the worst of the fight and has been driven in- to diplomacy. | | More Annexation.—Petitions are flow- | ing in upon Congress, asking the “ re-an- 'nexation” of the Canadas, and New Brunswick, along with Texas. This bur- lesque upon “ re-annexation ” is taken in high dudgeon by the Texas party. But it is all right. Let us have it all at once,— Texas, Mexico, California, the Canadas, New Brunswick, Ireland, and all. By taking the whole at one time, we make one general war serve instead of a suc- cession of wars, which would be decided- ly economical; and so much the more glorious as we should have the honor of whipping the whole world at once.—Fay. Observer. We go in for re-annexing England : That country was once connected with this, and when we beat her so badly in the revolutionary struggle, it is something quite strange to us of the present day she was not immediately brought under our control. The London Medical Gazette contains a long article from the pens of Mr. Hastings and Mr. man from a celebrated Watch making Establishment fn Philadelphia, he feels no hesitation in saying that he will be able to give entire satisfaction to all those who may fa- vor him with their work. All he asks is a trial. Lepine and plain watches will be altered to patent le- vers, and warranted to perform well. Old gold and silver taken in exchange for work done. JOHN E.

The extent of the Khanat of Bokhara may be stimated-at about 5,600 square miles, but not nore than the tenth part of this is inhabited the inderbeing unfit fur occupation, or at least i. °'The country, for the most part, wesents the aspect of a succession of clayey aline soil, and sandy steppes, having a visible lope to the south-west. Its chief rivers are the \mu-Datiya (Oxus) and its tributaries, but the ermination of the Amu in the sea of Aral, ren- ers it of comparatively little value as a highway or trades. Khanikoff enters at some length in- o the digeussion of the reratfa questio, the an- ‘ient course of the Oxus, and inclines to join hose who assert, that the river, at one period, lowed into the Caspian, we have not, however, een Any examination of the country sufficiently ecurate to justify a positive conclusion. We may; *however, ‘suggest the possibility of the ourse.Of the river having been changed by some convulsion, of which the following curious cir- -umstance affords a little corroboration :— “Therevis a superstitious belief prevalent at Bokbara, that on the eve of every new year, which they reckon from the vernal equinox, there must be an earthquake, and in order to be sure ofit, they stick a knife in the ground over night, reckoning the commencement of the year from the moment the knife falls from the vacillation of the earth.” The absence of streams, wells, and tountains, exposes the inhabitants of the Khanat to great inconventence and. suffering. Indeed, a prev- alent and painful disease, of which we quote the description, is generally attributed to this cause : “ Rishia is an illness of which the symptoms ure, that some parts of the body swell and fester; the patient often feels acute pains in the bones, and constant inward heat, a parched mouth, and continual thirst, Occasionally, we may even ay frequently, to the great relief to the patient, the ulcer bursts, and exposes to view a small flat worm, of a whitish colour, which is cautiously wized by means of two small thongs firmly tied iogether, and drawn out by little and little. In Dokhara there are expert persons who can dis- tem from extérnal signs when the worm is near be skin, which they pierce through by means fa small hook, and draw it out, but one must bevery cautious during the operation not to | k the worm in two, or leave the head inside, the worm escapes to another place, and which is worse—oflen penetrates deeper into he body, and forms what is called the hidden tia. In the latter case ; the worms on being destroyed ia the body creatcs inveterate swell- igs; and if the sinews are attackcd, the feet wd arms become contracted, and dry off, leav- tg the patient a cripple for life. The number these worms is sometimes very considerable.

The mode | terest to Khanikoff’s account of the prisons : of laying out the gardens is very similar to that | practised by the ancient Egyptians ; the follow. the picture of an Egyptian garden in the British Museum : “ Every one who can afford to increase his gurden, never fails todo so; there is a kind of | ostentation attached to it, and as the silver pop- lar is the only tree which is allowed to grow there, which does not yield fruit, the least ad- dition to a garden is calculated to increase its profits, These poplars are usually planted in- side, and close to the mud walls, separating the garden from other properties, and as they attain a considerable height, and are very bushy, they screen the other productions of the garden from the unwholesome effects of the cold winds. A quadrangular pond is usually dug in the centre of the garden, from whence runnels are drawn off in all directions. Four principal paths, leading from the pond at right angles, are cross- ed by others, varying in number according to the extent of the garden. The intervals are under fruit-trees and shrubs, such as the vine, the pomegranate, the fig tree, the apricot, the apple tree, the pear tree, the cherry tree, and the Sinjid, or Jegda.” Khanikoff asserts that though there are nu- merous shops in Bokhara, the trade of the place is but trifling, and that most of the shops are | |empty. ‘There ara three annual caravans to | the Russian fairs, but the heavy expenses of a | transit overa difficult country, destitute of roads, greatly limit the commercial intercourse.

Depend upon it, the people of Europe will not submit to be governed by these bands of petty sovereigns—these aristocratic cabinets. I was wrong in re- establishing the order of nobles in France ; but I did it to give splendor to the throne and refinement to the manners of the pceo- ple, who were fast sinking into barbarism since the revolution. The remains.of the feudal system will vanish before the sun The people having only toknow thatall poweremanates from them in order to assert their rights to a share in their respective governments.

It has been the means of enriching the aristocracy beyond all former example in any country; whilst it has, atthe same time, aroused as many fast and powerful friends to the government as there are individuals who receive interest for that money, so extravagantly squandered to crush liberty in other countries; but even that must have an end; some accidental spark will ignite the combustible mass and blow the whole system to the devil! Ifthe mighty debt were due to foreigners, these cunning islanders would not bear the burden an hour, but would on some pretext or other, break with their creditors and laugh at their credulity ; but they owe money to individuals among themselves, and are therefore likely to enjoy the pleasure of paying the interest for generations tocome. France too has got a debt. Those Bour- bons think to maintain themselves on my throne by borrowing largely of the present generation, in order to lay heavy taxes on the next, and all future ones. But I know the French too well to suppose that such a system can be long tolerated. I know that they have too much affection for their offspring to entail upon them a national debt like that of England however art- fully incurred. No, no! my subjects are too sharp sighted to allow the property accumulated for their children to be mort- gaged to pay the Russians and the English for invading them, and for the restoration of the Vielle Courtne Imciles, who now insult them!

Zabris- | kie of New Jersey, for supplying the Na- vy Department with a quantity of live The contract, (which was it- self made in violation of law, no proposal having been advertised of the purpose of the Navy Department to let the contract to the lowest bidder.) was obtained by Za- briskie, upon personal solicitations of the President, to whom he represented the sa- crifices he had made-in his service, per- sonal and pecuniary—that he was com- pletely out of pocket—and that, unless fa- vored by him with this contract, he must be irretrievably ruined. The President told him he should have it, and the neces- sary papers were directed to be prepared. Mr. McDonald goes on to say that the con- tract, so obtained, was gotten by Zabris- person (supposed to be Mr. Swift of New Bedford, | Massachusetts.) who had agreed to pay Zabriskie ten thousand dollars for his a- gency in procuring it, but who, afterwards changing his mind, refused to give more than eight thousand dollars for his share of he adv ‘ af itiplication of Lis honesty, with charge Sine the Globe™ itse not a word in vindication of his: tegrity—but rather i “eC the corn,” and then seeks’ to pla Globe on the same “level of infam affirming that that paper “has: ty of bribing an officer of the gover by giving to that officer $3500 to Seenr its editors some $100,000 worth of pr ing, to substantiate which alles Madisonian says it is. prepared. proof! ! vid sae What will the country say to th p=. velopments?

Yours truly, Mr. Cushing.—The testimony of our | Missionaries in China to the services of | Mr. Cushing is highly honorable to that | gated them in a manner so imprudent and | gentleman. A letter from Dr. Parker in | the Missionary Herald says both himself and Mr. Bridgman, his colleague, yielded | statistics, going to show the extent to which | to the wish of Mr. Cushing to give him | knowledge of the language enabled them | to afford. The result has realized their | anticipations. Almost everything that A- | merica could ask, or China consistently | concede, has been granted. Dr. Parker alludes with special gratification to the | article in the treaty which provides for | the erection of hospitals and temples for | Christian worship at each of the ports of | Canton, Amoy, Fu-chou, Ningpo and Shan- | ghate. | He also says that, in a moral point of | view, the opening of a direct communica- | | tion between the government at Washing- | | ton and the Court at Pekin is a desidera- tum of great moment, in its influence up- | on both nations, and a great object has | been gained, perhaps outweighing all the | rest. For though Mr. Cushing did not | reach Pekin, as he might have done, he | has obtained for his country a full equiv- | alent in the confidence and good will-that , have thus been secured. Dr. P. believes | | that now a bond of friendship unites the | | two great nations of the East and West ; | | and that the local prejudices against for- | eigners will gradually give way, thoug | | perhaps not without a few more popular | | } | disturbances. Mr. Bridgman adds that Mr. Cushing | carried himself through the negotiation in | a manner alike honorable to himself and | the people he represented. | The dryness of the legislative proceed- | ings is sometimes relieved by a little fun, | which is the more welcomed when it. comes because of its rarity. Quite a hear- | ty laugh was produced in the House of | Representatives of Ohio, some days since, | by the presentation of the following me- | morial: - | Mr. Combs, on leave, presented the pe- | | tition of 33 citizens of Miller township, | Knox county, for a law to tax dogs. [The following is the petition : | To the Hon. General Assembly of the State of Ohio: Whereas, destruction very great By dogs, among the sheep of late, And danger that they will do no more, As they have often heretofore, Requires that something should be done To stop the rascals in their fun: | We, therefore, of your honors pray, That you'll enact, without delay, A law that shall impose a tax On dogs, or on their owners’ backs, Of such amount as may suffice To make dogs moral, just and wise ; And we'll forever and a day, When so inclined, devoutly pray.] | The Unicorn Discovered !—A recent num- pleasure ; remarka- salms 92; 10, where it speaks ~ he Ng Sr pra: like the horn of the torn. will throw great i Ler passages of scripture, which ua aneet Aredia prevented our comprehending, its authorship and the organ of- its utter: , ance. It asserts with this postulate: that the Romish clergy; secular and regular, must be considered as-a well-appointed, one minded army, preparing itself.in the unconqderable spirit of Gregory VII, to renew, for the last time, the contest for the supremacy of the Church over the State, that is to say, for the Pope’s universal‘mo- narchy. “That this is the true object to which the present extraordinary exertions of the Roman Court ultimately tend,” says the writer, “no reasonabig doubt can, for a moment, be entertained.” The argu- ment that Rome does not generally exert this power (which she believes herself to | feeling existing there, which is decidedly BNs mt -_ ms < . € ow PN SENET ¢ ; late, je pla ‘the.

This brings him to a-consideration of: the progress of affairs in’ the Papal States themselves, and indeed throughout all Italy. Having shown that-there is a state of possess, as a matter of divine right,) in our days, he holds to be no argument to dis- | prove the intentions and designs he im- | He contendsthat she hasever been prompt | Ment is opposed in its influences to the ad- to put them forth whenever there was an opportunity to extort obedience ; and he alludes to the pregnant and startling fact 'that the present Pope Gregory XVI., but | he started, “ Will the Hierachy come out | | a few years ago, attempted to wield this | of the contest victorious ?” The reply may | power, with unexampled absoluteness, a- gainst Portugal and Spain; quoting in proof, from the Allocution of March, 1841, |and observing that the Spanish govern- | of things in Europe that a mere trifle may | verred that the holy See had never since | the time of Gregory VII. until the present, | maintained pretensions so high, or promul- so reckless. In this connexion, he quotes authentic the Roman ecclesiastical establishment, the past eight years. He puts down, as for the year 1836 for instance, the num- ber of ecclesiastics, of establishments and of worshippers of this denomination thus ; 12 bishops, 1 archbishop, 341 priests, 300 churches, 10 colleges, 31 convents, and 600,000 population. In 1844, the numbers given are as follows: 17 bishops; bishops elect, 8 ; Apostolic vicarate, 21; priests, 613 (an increase of clergymen since the last year of 55,) ;. churches, 611; other stations, 461 ; seminaries, 19; (stu- dents, 261 ;) periodicals, 15, and the popu- lation 1,300,000,— more than doubled in eight years.) He then comes to the consideration of the question, whetheror not, in the present condition of the Romish Church and of Christendom, there are reasons to believe the Roman clergy will at last come out of the impending contest victorious! To throw light on the course of his argument, he refers to the past history of the Roman Catholic Church, and proceeds to show that the Roman, Frankish and German governments have ever taken that church under their patronage for the advance- ment of their own political interests ; and that she, who was at first a suppliant. and afterwards an ally, always ended, when she could, as an imperious tyrant. From the times of Constantine and Theodosius, down through those of Pepin and Charle- magne, of O:ho and Henry III. to those of King John and of Arragon, when the as- | | pirations of Gregory VII. seemed to be near their“accomplishment, he takes a ra- pid review of her pretensions and of her unwillingness to make concessions to the State for the purpose of establishing her power. He next comes to the beginning of the 14th century, when this power be- gan to decline, and instances the refusal of Philip the Fair to submit thereto, the stand made by the German government against it, the refusal of Edward III. of | England to acknowledge it, and to its ra- pid declension through the reigns of Popes Sixtus I1V., Innocent VIII, Alexander vL. Julius II., Leo X, and Paul III. and so on, from the peace of Westphalta, in 1648, through those of the Pyrenees in 1665, and of Utrecht in 1713; then through the sup- pression of the Jesuits in 1762, the impri- sonment and death of Pius VL. in France, in 1779, and the retirement to. Paris of his | successor Pius VII. in 1813; as “ the pri- | mate of the Catholic Church,”—down to | |the restoration of Popery (but wofully | shorn of its pretensions) in 1814. Al! this | the writer argues, furnishes the fullest proof that “ the exaltation of the Romish Chureh is the work of ee that {to quote Pope Pius I'V.] she“ cannotsub- | sist without the-sapport of Kings.” Popery, and, as a consequence, of the Je- suits, or “Italian Exile” proceeds to ex- tend his inquiry, as to the true condition | earnest appeal; in. favor of the cause he Brought down now to-the restoration of | f dence factories was discharged, when thirty of | eile struck,” gare three cheers, and ro- |i Gen ‘ ? | vancement of the arts and sciences, and | especially to the interests, temporal and | | eternal, of the people, the writer gives a | direct response tothe question with which | be thus condensed.

Mr. McConnell, of Alabama, said he would, and sev- eral others made the same reply. ‘The commit. tee rose and reported, and immediately went into committee again, when Mr. Giddings obtained the floor and proceeded to notice the insulting re- marks of Mr. Black. Mr. B. had charged Mr. G. with owning the wagon, and claiming it which had been used by the Rev. Mr. Torrey to steal negroes, and had said that if Mr. G. had his de- country: no agriculture, no industry, no trade, ; no means of internal communication, no castles, no palaces not even ruins of Christian origin: | but there stands in the middle of the desert the | Escurial, the fit abode of the destroying angel | of the land.

He also | charged him with franking a calico frock home, | and thus defrauding the post office, marking it, | however, “no public document.”- These speci- fic charges Mr. G. pronounced absolutety, total. ly, and unqualitiedly false. The first had been made in that House Jast session, and he had thea | put the stamp of falsehood upon it; there was | nota particle of truth in it. The other he had | never heard before, and he pronounced it a base | fabrication, false and foul—it originated with the | member himsclf, or with him whom he served in | uttering it. | When Mr. G. rose, Mr. Black came across the | Hall and took a position very near to him with a | stout hickory cane in bis hand when he eyed him with a look full of meaning. Stauding within “ What,” says he, “are Naples and Sicily | six feet of him, and within the same distance of now?

I saw mischief afoot, and mentioned to two members that there would, I feared, be diffi- culty. Mr. Black seemed to be waiting, I | thought, for Mr. G. to say something personally offensive of him. Presently Mr. B. advanced to- wards Mr. G. and took a position within a foot or | two of me, as I stood at the entrance of the bar, | and leaning on it. Mr. Giddings went on: He said the member had talked of knocking himdown! Did he sup- | of the long-contested battles, and the triumphs | pose that the people of the North sent cowards | of the republic, the favored retreat of dictators ‘and consuls, and the resort of the rusticating | | nobility of Rome ? | overlooking the melancholy Campagna as if | But there isthe Papal city | _ bere to protect their rights?

Thence he proceeds to | | show the incompatibility of this religious | creed with the political compact of the | United States: that the greater the con- stitutional liberty, the greater is the dan- | ger to it from Popery ; and-then comes to | 'the subject of the Christian alliance re- | cently entered into in our land for the pur- | | pose of resisting its rapid advance in this | country. This, with the prospects adver- | _ted to already, of a stern and successful , | resistance to the power of Roman Catho- | | licism, in continental Europe. based upon _ the assumption that the security of prot- | estantism and the peace of Christendom | demand the defeat of that power, the wri- | | ter thinks will render abortive the attempt | | now going on with so much vigor, to re- store the Hierarchy in all its pristine | strength.

Fortunately, however, Mr. Wood- ward, of S.

You may well suppose there was great ex. | citement for some minutes in the House, at what had taken place, and there seemed to be an apprehension in the minds of some that more violence would be offered. Mr. Giddings made a few more remarks and closed. He said this was the first time he had ever alluded to any member personally since he had been a mem- ber of the House. That he had always en- deavored to treat every member with the utmost courtesy, though he had not always. received it at the hands of others, and had even seen a | bowie-knife drawn on him in this House. This | _annunciation produced manifest astonishment, } and the inquiry was made by many, to’ whom he aliuded? _He did not indicate the individual, but clades to the cireumstance which ha two or three years ago, when Mr, Giddings ia- formed the House, without making any. motion’ on the subjectsthat he had been intentionally jostled and insalted. Mr. Black alluded to the same transaction in his remarks to-day, as proof Mr. G.’s want of courage and spirit. Mr. G. said that he should hot have made = ee allusion toany member to-day, but the verygross, insulting, and unprovoked at. tack that had beenmadeupon him.

Magazine, TO LIVE TOO LONG. BY CHAS. W. BATRD. It ig sad to lie down in the cold, cold grave, When the mind is strong, and the heart is brave ; It is sad to leave all that is lovely and fair And go tothe tomb, to be mouldering there. Bat oh! if’tis bitter to leave the world’s throng, It is sadder, far sadder, to live too long. To see all that once we had doted upon Before us to rest and to happiness gone, And to stand, like a withered oak, blighted and weak, { The sole tree that survives the mad hurricane’s wreck ; O talk not of life; earth's bright dwellings among, For nothing can soothe him whe lives too long. | To know that the once echoing tempest of Fame Shall never more mention that valueless name-; To know that none care for his bliss or his doom ; Or rather I'd ask the cold rest of his tomb. When glory has died, and the spirit of song | Has vanished, ‘tis bitter to live too long. And I would lie down in my deep repose Ere my bosom no longer with poesy glows ; | And I would arise to the mansions on high, | Ere the thoughts that now live in my spirit shall die ; | Ere the moments have fled, that to manhood belong, And I feel that ’tis bitter to live too long.

A national flag is hung out from Coleman’s Hotel, and the Precident’s ‘suite of rooms i§ there very neatly fitted upto reccive him. A great many persons have accompanied Mr. Polk to the city, but of the many who camé, how many , belong to the travelling suite it is not ea- sy tosay. The Vice President came with | Mr. Polk and Mr. Gilpin. Robert Tyler ‘and others were in the cars. The scene at the Depot when Mr. Polk | arrived was rich and racy. A Committee | took charge of Mr. Polk, and with music, and banners marched to Coleman's Hotel | where a faint attempt was made at cheer- ‘ing. Mr. Polk came to the window of his / room, bowed once, twice and thrice, and | then returned, and the crowd left. | Several Executive nominations were | sent to the Senate to-day, and it is said | that the nomination of Prosper M.

Ivy ridge is the boundary of this valley on the northeast, the ford of Ivy creek, near Solomon: Carters, having very nearly the height of Ashe- ville. .The diflerence of temperature and cli- mate corresponds to the indications of the bar- ometer, grain and wid fruits ripening sooner about Asheville, than in the neighborhood of qither Burnsville or Waynesville. At the ford of the Tuckaseege, on the road to Franklin, we are at the bottom of another deep and warm valley, but thie does not, like that of the French Froad, extend across the whole range of the Al- leghanies. . These measurements are not altogether with- out value, to the people of Haywood and Macon, showing as they do, what is the amount of obsta- cle that has to be overcome in carrying a road from Tennessee into South Carolina, along the Tuckaseege. Such a road should be made, or rather the existing one Should be greatly im- roved, and the route altered in some places.— ete'is likely to be a good deal of travel along it, but the gap in the Blue Ridge, where it is to pass, is about 1500 feet higher than that at the héad of the French Broad. There are but two routes by which the high- est peaks of the Black Mountain can be reach- ed, without an amount of labor which few peo- ple are willing to undergo. One is by the head of Swannanoe.” This brings us to point a little higher than the top of the White Mountains in New Hampshire. _ The other is from the South fork of Poe. It is represented as quite practi- cable, and leads to the highest summit. Agriculture.—The mountain counties, Asbe, Yancy, Buncombe, Henderson, Haywood aad Macén, do not appear to have adopted fully those modes of culture which are the best suited to their soil and climate, and which are likely ulti- | mately to prevail. _ For this, two reasons may be assigned. ‘ 1. The great amount of travel, through the counties of Ashe, Henderson and Buncombe (but especially the two last,) between the At lantic States and the West, has, created a de- mand for the different kinds of grain, and given a direction to the industry of the pupulation of those counties, which, but for the circumstance mentioned, would be neither natural nor profi- table. The roads have consumed all the corn that could be raised. ‘The practice of the far- | that t ine be drained and especi the he the surface is com ciently moist an might be advantageously invested for the pur- pose of converting them into meadows and pas- tures. ‘The tops of the mountains also, where the ridge is broad, or a single summit bas a rounded surface instead of a sharp peak, will afford a few grazing furms. J do not altogeth- er despair of living to see the time when the highest summit of the Black shall be inclosed and covered with a fine coat of the richest gras- es, and when the cheese of Yancy shall rival in the market of the lower counties that which is imported from other States. For accomplishing this a good deal of labor will be required. the person to whom it has happened to visit Burnsville soon after it was fixed upon as the seat of Justice for Yancy county, and during the present year, will bave good hopes of very rough and unsightly places. A more doleful spot than it was in the year 1834, cannot well be imagined ; and though there is ample room for improvement yet, it is not diffi- cult to see that the time is near when there will be a range of meadows passing by and near it, alike productive and beautiful. If an inhabitant of the mountains shall be desircus of calling in the experience of other | parts of our widely extended country for the purpose of directing his own labours, there is no section of the United States which he would visit with more advantage than the genuine Yankee land—the New England States. The soil is to a great extent the same with his own, having been produced by the decomposition of | primitive rocks ; elevation compensating fur dif- | ference of latitude, there is a considerable sim- lilarity of climate. And if after seeing what the labour of two centuries has been accom. | plished there, be shall pass through the moun- Haxwoop county, on tho authority lies between Buncombe and Macon, 8 west- ward and is drained by the higher branches of Big Pigeon, and veege rivers. Macon county, westward of Haywood, and ex- tending from Rabon county, Georgia, to the State of Tennessee, and slopes northwestward is drained by the higher branches of little Tennessee. Such are the series of counties and rivers in this interesting region under review ; their prin- cipal towns are, - Jerrenson, in Ashe county, on New River, at N, lat. 36 deg. 28 min., long. W. L. 4 deg. 25 min. W., about 180 miles NW. by W. of Raleigh. Wixxxszoro’, in Wilkes county, situated on the Yadkin, 31 miles SSE. of Jefferson, N. lat. . deg. 06 min., long. 4 deg. 04 min. W. of est, Moreanton, Burke county, situated on Cataw- ba river, N. lat. 35¢45m., long. 4d. 36m. W. of W.; 50 miles southwestward from Wilkes- boro’, and very nearly due W. 200 miles from Raleigh. Burnexsvitir, in Yancy county, situated on a branch of Nolichucky river, 40 miles some- thing N. of W. from Morganton, N. lat, 35d. 53m., long, 5d 05m.,.W. of W. Asnvii_z, Buncombe county, situated on French Broad, N. lat. 35d 36m. .N. long: 5d. 22m W. W., 62 miles SW. by W. from Morganton, and 36 miles a little 8. of W. from Burnes- ville. Waywnesvitzs, in Haywood county, situated on Big Pigeon, N. lat. 35d, 28m., long. 5d. 52m. W. W., 35 miles a little 8. of W. from Ashe- ville, Franky, in Macon county,situated ona branch of Little Tennessee, N. lat. 35d. 10m., long, 6d. 09., W. W., by post road 330 miles west- ward of Raleigh, and 560 miles NW, by W. of Washington City. In estimating the relations of height and lati- | tuce, Humboldt and other Geographers, have | regarded 300 French metres, or 828 English | feet of elevation or depression, as equal to a | degree of latitude on erial temperature, along | tain region of North Carolina, whilst he will | western Europe. I believe that, for general bo pleased to see what has been done in his | purposes, 400 feet is a safe estimate for a like >| own section, he wil! fix upon many spots that | purpose over the United States, and, if adopted, are now in a great measure neglected, as those | Waynesville, in Haywood, with an elevation of which a patient industry will in the course of a 6672 feet, would have a mean temperature sui- few years render the most productive and valu- | tabJe to N. lat. 52 deg. 40 min, on the ocean able. Extensive tracts in Henderson county, the moist grounds inclining to swamp in the neighborhoed of Waynesville, the valley of Scotts creek, bordering the road, the head wa- ters of the Tuckaseege and those_of the Savan- mers living near the roads, which will answer | 1.4 on the south side of the Blue Ridge, are very well for them, (especially if somewhat more attention be paid to the cultivation of the grasses,) may be-expected to have an undue in- fluence in the remote parts of those counties. 2. The families hy whom these counties are | cited as examples because they fell under my immediate observation. Closely connected with agriculture as afford- | ing access to a market are good roads, and it | was with some surprise that [. noticed certain settled, were from below the ridge, and carried | indications that the road scraper has never been with them into the mountain region, the kind of husbandry to which they have been accustom- ed in the warmer and drier parts from which they came. It is only gradually that men change the habits and practices of their earlier days. This influence of custom is exhibited on the Northernmost range of counties in North Car- olina, along the Virginia line, where the cul- ture of tobacco prevails much*more extensively than a little farther South, where the soil is equally well adupted to the growth of that nox- ious weed. The latitude and elevation—and of course the temperature of the mountain counties as far as it depends upon these two, are very nearly the same, with those of ancient Arcadia—the coun- try of herdsmen and shepherds. ‘Their so‘) is different, having been fornted by the decompo- sition of primitive ranite, gneiss and mica slate—whilst limestone abounds in Arca- dia, as well as other parts of Greece. But it is to the raising of cattle and shecp and the making of butter and cheese for the counties Le- low the ridge, that it may be expected there will be a tendency in the industry in the moun- rain falling there, is greater than in the Eastern parts of the State, and luxuriant meadows of the most valuable grasses, but especially of Timothy; may be easily formed. ‘This is for Winter food. - But the Summer pastures, too, are susceptible of great pi sulle sic: y it ape et over every year.

Again, the mean of the 8 elevations, given in the letter, yields very nearly an equiv- alent to ten degrees of lat., and if we then as. sume Morganton as the mean lat. of the towns named above, the result gives to Western North | Carolina a climate of very nearly 45 dog.

Such data brought to light ought to induce the government to-do for this country what has been already done by the governments of Europe for their respective territories ; that is to make an unj- versal G phical survey, determining every position and every relation of height. There is one object of primarggpermanent, and vital interest, reflection on whch ie enforc- ed hy the subject before us. Sheep have ac- companied man it is probable from the very in- fancy of society, and now, after the lapse of thousands of years, by far the most substantial article of his clothing comes from the fleece of this truly useful and innocent animal, Ou the arid plain and mountain steep, where no culti- vation can gain subsistnnce to man, the sheep finds food, and seems destined to carry and sup- port his human protector amid ee tara | of soil and climate, to which he may be expo: in the ever-varying latitudes out of the torrid zone, and within that zone, where height com- | wes - tf nl Lope br ase, ‘has been adj nominations of Gen. T: Ch Affuires to oT, and France, Col. Reily as e to the United States, were rejected by the Senate. It is said that the chief cause of opposition to these gentlemen was owing to their hostility to annexation. ; Congress refused to receive the petition of a meeting of the citizens of Rusk coun- ty against annexation. from which it may of} eel eitl be inferred how strongly the members yet ik are in favor of that measure. , The Houston Telegraph of the 5th ult. says: “It is estimated there are about 7000 bales of cotton now stored in the ~~; warehouses of this city.” The trade between San Antonia and the Rio Grande has been much affected of late through the efforts of that arch-traitor, Se- guin. Several companies of Americans have endeavored to capture him the past winter, but so far he has been on the look out for them and escaped their snares in season. The Telegraph says, that since the days of Agaton, Seguin has been the worst scourge of Texas. Although he fought on Houston’s side at the battle of. San Jacinto, and was afterwards a Sena- tor in the Texan Congress, he will fare badly shoald he fall into the hands of the Western men. : Col. Wm. G. Cooke, the same who was } i upon the first Santa Fe Expedition, has been appointed Secretary of War by Pre- sident Jones. It was ramored that Col. Kauffman would be appointed charge to the United States. Jose Antonio Navarro, the last of the Texan Santa Fe prisoners who recently escaped from Mexico, has been treated with marked honors and attentions wher- ever he has appeared in Texas. We co- py the following account of his warm re- ception at Galveston from the Civilian of the 8th ult.: “The return of the patriotic and heroic Col. Navarro to Texas, on Saturday last, was hailed by our citizens with the utmost enthusiasm. ‘The steamship McKim,which bore him, came in decorated with flags. and was greeted with the discharges of cannon and the notes of martial music. At the wharf the Mayor and: municipal offi- cers proceeded on Board, to welcome the dungeon-worn veteran, which was_ done in an appropriate and feeling speech by the Mayor, and responded to in glowing and touching terms by Col. Navarro, in pure Castillian, and rendered into English by Col. Williams. The returning patriot disembarked, and proceeded, uncovered leaning upon the arms of the Mayor and | his old friend Col. W., and escorted by the Board of Aldermen along the wharf, upon which were drawn up to receive him the volunteer military companies and the great mass of the male population of the place. He was then escorted to the Tremont by the municipal authorities, the military and the citizens, every window being up and all eyes turned to see him as he a- long the streets.

We are afraid that the general sense of the nation is not sufficiently awake to the critical position in which our country is likely to be placed by the action of the Executive upon our foreign relations, and by the partial concurrence of the House of Representatives in one branch of its projects, and the action of that body, even surpassing the Executive recommenda- tions, in regard to another.

All | the inhabitants of Salem were persuaded that the hurricane had something to do the a lves in league with the devil.” So far, eréfore, as the records and archives of | urtsof law can verify the truth of any | vestigation, ‘we must believe that many ‘the things that Dr. Mather has set forth, re not only true as historical events, but so naturally incident, however rarely, to e condition and fortunes of men. It is ot for us, however, to argue this matter, ut many of the Doctor’s stories are real- , striking, reviewing them merely as cre- tions of fancy, and some of the phenom- na which he describes, and boasts of hav- ng witnesses to confirm, have in differ- ot ages been seen in similar forms, and n countries far remote from New-Eng- and. The ptodigy of the Cross, which jonstantine and his army beheld in the iir,is of this description ; and apocalypse ouchsafed to Godfrey, in the Crusade, is fthesame character. Dr. Mather de- eribes noise and bustlings heard in the sir, short time prior to the Indian war of 1675, accompanied with beating of irums,‘as in battle. But without enter- ing into any particular disquisition con- cerning these omens and. auguries, we hall here present @ version of his story of | he. naval apparition, only promising that t contains several particulars which the Doctor has noticed, but which, we are per- waded, are not less true than those he has telated.— Bluckwood’s Magazine. A ship, called “ Noah’s Dove,” was pre- paring to sail from the port of Salem for *Old England,” when a young man, ac- tomspanied by his bride, came and engag- ai births for himself and her, as passen- gers. Noone in all Salem was in the lightest degree acquainted with this hand- ome couple, nor did they themselves seek uy acquaintance in the town; but until the vessel was ready, lived in the most weladed state. Their conduct was per- fetly blameless, and their appearance | was highly respectable ; but the ¢harp- tighted people of Salem knew the presti- gous appearance of the demons which ailicted the country, and they discerned wmething about them which could not be emed otherwise than mysterious. Many persons, intending to visit their biends, in the old country, took passage tsp in the Noah’s Dove ; but the friends some of them thought they were rash iblé-fellow-passengers, before hazarding lves at sea with personsso unknown | Sthem.

We quote some passages: © “ As soon as Great Britain began to re- cover from the exhausting effects of her last war with us and the continent, she re- collected what had cccurred on the lakes, and with deep, but smothered feelings of national chagrin, began to cast about how she might, for the fature, best strengthen herself in that quarter.

Through these ca- nals she can now, in case of war, cover the lakes with all the light forces of the British navy. « For the last 10 or 15 years that nation has been constantly engaged on these works.

On her arrival a crew is put on board as passengers, ind the vessel and cargo censigned to an equally guilty factor or agent on the coast of Africa, where the unlawful purpose, originally de- sel is delivered up—her name obliterated, discharged, to be provided for by the char- terers, and the new or passenger crew put in command to carry back its miserable freight to the first contrivers of the voy- age, or their employees in Brazil. During the whole progress of this tor- _tuous enterprise it is possible that neither the American crew originally enlisted, nor | the passenger crew put on board in the Brazilian ports, are aware of the nature of the voyage, and yet it is on these prin- cipally, ignorant, if not innocent, that the penalties of the law are inflicted ; while the guilty contrivers, the charterers, bro- kers, owners and masters—in short, all who are most deeply concerned in the crime and its rewards, for the most part "escape unpunished. It will be seen from the examinations | which have recently taken place at Rio, | that the subjects of her Britannic Majesty, as well as our own citizens, are deeply implicated in this inhuman traffic.

(> We refer our renders to the excellent ar- ticle on the out-side of to-day’s paper, from the Baltimore American, headed “Dxrexce.or rHe Laxes.” The example which Great Brit: Britain has set us, of preparing for war in time of peace, has been neglected long enough by the United States Government. England now has nearly six hundred ships of war and about one million seamert, while we bave only sixty ships and- 100,000 seamen. Though _do not think it necessary for the United “States to maintain a very large Navy—such as that of England for instance, or any other Nation, yet we think, this branch of the Military Establish- ment of our country entirely inadequte for de- fence, in case of a collision with any of the great Powers of Europe, and ought in justice | to ourselves, be increased. In two weeks time, England with her steamships could land upon our borders by way of the Canadas and the Lakes, (to say nothing of the immense injury which our large cities would sustain, thousands of troops, and scatter devastation far and wide be- fore we could assemble a sufficient force to drive them back. With these undeniable facts star- ing them in the face, we ask, what are our ru- lers about? Will they not take warning from the past? If they would for a short time give their attention more to the wants of the coun- ‘try, instead of making long-winded speeches, and scrambling for the fat offices at the dispo- sal of the President, we aré most clearly of the | opinion, things would soon wear quite a differ- | ent aspect to what they do now. But every thing, however important, must give way tothe | selfish designs of politicians. Nothing is as important to them as the public offices of the Go- vernment ; and as long as this spirit governs, or has undisputed sway over the minds of those _to whom the protection of the country is com- | mitted,—so long will it be neglected. Some, | will probably ask, how ean this great and grow- ing evil be remedied? ‘There is but one way | that we know of, which will be effectual ; and that is for the People themselves to frown down _all such as desire to go to Congress, more to | show off, than to do the business of the nation, | as it should bedone. This isthe remedy; and ' until it is rigidly applied, and men sent there who will work instead of talking all the time, | we need never expect to see a change. We do | heartily wish we could see a return to the good | old Republican days of WasuineTon, Mapt- SON, and a host of other good men that might | be named, whose chief object, when in public | life, was to place the country high in the scale | of nations, and not their own personal elevation.

The bill was then read a third time, amidst a profound silence, without the yeas and nays being called for, and passed. Though the lobbies were crammed, and gal. leries densely packed with an anxious and in- .ty and decorum characterized the whole pro- ceeding of this memorable night. On the next day, Friday, the amendment pro- posed by the Senate, was forced through the House, without the opportunity for debate, by a vote of 132 to76. The measure needs noth- ng now but the approval of the President, to consummate it, and that will] follow, as a matter of course. THE CLOSE OF THE SESSION. The National Intelligencer of the 4th inst. says :—Both Houses of Congress were in session when this day’s paper was made ready for the press, and much business be- fore them then remained in an incomplete state. There is reason to believe—though we are by no means certain of it—that the Annual Appropriation bills all passed, and received the signature of the President. Almost every other bill depending in either House may be considered as having failed of passing in consequence of the im- possibility of acting upon them in the few hours left of the session. Among the bills lost is that, in which the character of the country is so deeply implicated, for the satisfaction of claims of American citizens for French spolia- tions prior to 1800, defeated by Mr. Mc- Duffie’s bitter opposition to it a few days ago, when it seemed to be a matter of course that it should pass. In striking contrast to the course of Con- gress in regard to this class of claims. a provision was passed in the General Ap- | propriation law for paying to our citizens the instalments of the Mexican indemnity received by the agents of the United States, and alleged to be misapplied, or not duly accounted for by them. The bill to establish the Smithsonian Institution fell through, owing to the late- ness of the period of the Session (yester- day) when it was proposed to be taken up, and the indication of determined hostility to the bill of the Senate, and the proposed amendment of itonthe part of Mr. Adams. Among the miscellaneous items in the Civil Appropriation bill is an appropria- tion of twenty-eight thousand dollars for paving Pennsylvania avenue, in this city. An interesting part of the proceedings in the Senate last evening was the pas- sage of a Resolution directing the allow- ance to the Hon. W. P. Mangum, Presi- sident of the Senate since the death of President Harrison, of a compensation e- qual to that which the Vice President, had he remained in office to discharge the du- ties of that station, would have received. This is a compliment justly due to that gentleman for his assiduous, faithful, and impartial discharge of the duties devolved upon him, and has been paid in a manner which cannot but be most grateful to his own feelings and to those of his friends. MR. POLK’S CABINET. The following gentlemen, it is believed, will compose the Cabinet of President Poxx : James Buchanan, Secretary of State, Robert J. Walker, Secretary of the Treasury, Wm. L. Marcy, Secretary of War, John Y. Mason, Secretary of the Navy, Cave Johnson, Post Master General. Post Office Bill Passed.—The great mea- sure for the reduction of postage has re- ceived the sanction of Congress. The Se- nate agreed to the amendments of the House, and the bill now only wants the signature of the President to become a law. The act goes into operation on the Ist of July next, when the rates of postage will be 5 cents for all letters of not more than half an ounce weight, sent not over 300 miles, and ten.cents for any. distance beyond .that. this amendment, it was decided in the affirma-’ terested multitude of spectators, a perfect digni- |” from day to day until all is disposed of.

At the time, which was about noon, that Doctor Houghton was stepping from the hotel into the street, to bear the letter to the Governor, a gentleman whom I had before seen, and who had been long set- tled in Louisiana, and had held high pub- ed. On my mentioning the letter, he was anxious that it should be full and explicit —and esp&cially asthe people, or citizens, were then collecting on account of my a- | affinity to abolitionism or state rights.— | For otherwise the Constitution of the Uni- ited States is the express image and organ pose of giving me notice. I invited him to my room, but he declined doiag so, and said he should be unsafe if it was known that he gave me notice, or if he was secn with me.

Courier” gives the following singular account, on the autho- rity of an eye witness : A few days since, while Gillett’s grist mill, in the neighboring town of Lebanon was running, the miller found his mill all at once standing still. Thinking it might have stopped from want of greater head of water, he raised his gate higher and increased the quantity. Still the mill re- | fused to go.

The diameter of the bar wasa lit- tle more than one inch.- It may be stated, still farther, that the bar was not in the least discolored, nor did it present any oth- cr appearance of having been subjected ‘to the action of heat. The weight of the millstone which was supported on the pi- vot, was judged to be about one fon. Enterprize.—tt is said of Messrs. Hay- den, of Haydenville, Mass., the celebrated steel pen manufacturers, that they com- menced about the year 1830 the business of making buttons by hand, employing on- ly two or three persons besides themselves. They gradually enlarged their business, and in 1838 they had a capital of $100,000 /and gave employment to 200 persons. - In 1839 they added the business of manufac- turing steel pens to that of button making, and now they have a capital of $175,000, and employ 275 hands. > buttons manufactured at their establish- | ment daily, in 1844, was 1600 groce, and the number of pens per day 100 groce.

Int. } Mr. Polk’s INAUGURAL ADDRESS. Fellow-Citizens : Without solicitation on my part, I have been chosen by the tree and volun- tary suffrages of my countrymen tothe most hon. orable and most responsible office on earth. | ‘am deeply iapressed with gratitude for the confi- dence reposed in me. Honored with this dis- tinguished consideration at an earlier period of | life than any of my predecessors, [ cannot dis- | | guise the diffidence with which I am about to | enter on the discharge of my official duties. If the more aged and experienced men who have filled the office of President of the United States, even in the infancy of the Republic, dis- trusted their ability to discharge the duties of } | that exalted station, what ought not to be the | ' | apprehensions of one so much younger and less | endowed, now that our domain extends from | ocean to ocean, that our people have so greatly | increased in numbers, and at a time when so | great diversity of opinion prevails in regard to | the principles and policy which should charac- | | terize the administration of our Government? | Well may the boldest fear, and the wisest trem- | ble, when incurring responsibilities on which | may depend our country’s peace and prosperity, | and, in some degree, the hopes and happiness of the whole human family. In assuming responsibilities so vast, I fer- | vently invoke the aid of that Almighty Ruler of | the Universe, in whose hands are the destinies | of nations and of men, to guard this heaven-fa. | vored land against the mischiefs which, with- | out His guidance, might arise from an unwise | public policy. With a firm reliance upon the | wisdom of whet eben to sustain and direct _me in the path of duty which I am appointed to | bled multitude of my countrymen, to take upon myself the solemn obligation, “to the best of | Constitution of the United States.” A concise enumeration of the principles which ; Government, is not only in accordance with the /examples set me by all my predecessors, but _ is eminently befitting the occasion. The Constitution itself, plainly written as it is, the safeguard of our federative compact, the offspring of concession and compromise, | binding together in the bonds of peace and un- | jon this great and increasing family of free and | independent States, will be the chart by which | I shall be directed. | It will be my first care to administer the Go- vernment in the true spirit of that instrument, _and to assume no powers not expressly granted | or clearly implied in its terms. The Govern- | ment of the United States is one of delegated ‘and limited powers; and it is by a strict ad. | | herence to the clearly granted powers, and by abstaining from the exercise of doubtful or un- | authorized implied powers, that we have the on- | ly sure guaranty against the recurrence of those | unfortunate collisions between the Federal and | State authorities which have occasionally so | much disturbed the harmony of our system, and even threatened ghe perpetutity of our glorious Union. | “To the States respectively, or to the Peo. | ple,” have been reserved “ the powers not dele- sa tthe Marshal of the District « | gated Jni ‘onstitution, | | gated to the United States by the Constitution, the Clerk of the Supreme Court maze their | nor prohibited by it to the States.” Each State | , at the head of the Judges of the Su- | is a complete sovereignty within the sphere of | | its reserved powers. ‘I'he Government of the | front of the Secretary’s table, occupied Union, acting within the sphere of its delegated | authority, isalsoa complete sovereignty. While | A solemn. beauti- | the General Government should abstain from the | | exercise of authority not clearly delegated to it, | the States should be equally careful that, in the | maintenance of their rights, they do not overstep the limits of powers reserved to them. One of the most distinguished of my predecessors at- tached deserved importance to “the support of the State Governments in all their rights, as the most competent administration for our domestic concerns, and the surest bulwark against anti- republican tendencies,” and to the * preserva. tion of the General Government in its whole | constitutional vigor, as the sheet-anchor of our | peace at home and safety abroad.” | Tothe Government of the United States has | been entrusted the exclusive management of our | foreign affairs; beyond that, it wields a few | general enumerated powers. It does not force | reform on the States. It leaves individuals over whom it casts its protecting influence en. sha free to improve their own condition b the egitimate exercise of all their mental and physical powers. It is a common Protector of each and all the States; of every man who lives upon our soil, whether of native or foreign birth; of every religious sect, in the worship of the Almighty according to the dictates of their own conscience ; of every shade of opinion, and the most free inquiry ; of every art, trade, and oc. repay consistent wes the laws of the States. d we rejoice in t ral happine perity, and advancement of our country, which have been the offspring of freedom, and not of power. This most admirable | and wi well-regulated self-government eats sn yaleal devised by human minds, has been tested by its successful operation for than half a cen. | my ability to preserve, protect, and defend the | will guide me in the adininistrative policy of the | % Pty ys : the tribunal of the People. Like all other pow- ers, it is subject to the abused. When judicious- ly and properly exercised, the Constitution it- self may be saved from infraction, and the rights of all preserved and protected. The inestimable value of our Federal Union is felt and acknowledged by all. By this sys- tem of united and confederated States our peo- ple are permitted, collectively and individually, | and the consequences have been most auspi- ‘cious. Since the Union was formed the num. | ber of the States has increased from thirteen | to twenty-eight: two of these have taken their position as members of the Confederacy within the last week. Our population has increased | from three to twenty millions. New commu- nities and States are seeking protection under its wegis, and multitudes from the Old World are | flocking to our shores to participate in its bless- |ings. Beneath its benign sway peace and pros- | perity prevail. Frecd from the burdens and | miseries of war, our trade and intercourse have | extended throughout the world. Mind, no long- er tasked in devising means to accomplish or resist schemes of ambition, usurpation, or con- quest, is devoting itself to man’s true interests _in developing his faculties and powers, and the "capacity of nature to minister to his enjoyments. Genius is free to announce its inventions and discoveries, and the hand is free to accomplish whatever the head conceives not incompatible with the rights of a fellow-being. All distine- tions of birth or of rank have been abolished. | All citizens, whether native or adopted, are pla- ced upon terms of precise equality. All are entitled to equal rights and equal protection.— | No union exists between Church and State, and | perfect freedom of opinion is guarantied to all | sects and creeds. | These are some of the blessings secured to our happy land by our Federal Union. To per- petuate them it is our sacred duty to preserve it. Who shall assign limits to the achievements of free minds and tree hands under the protec- tion of this glorious Union? No treason to | mankind, since the organization of society, would be equal in atrocity to that of him who would lift his hand to destroy it. He would o- verthrow the noblest structure of human wis- dom, which protects himself and his fellow-man. He would stop the progress of free government, and involve his country either in anarchy or despotism. | liberty, which warns and animates the hearts of happy millions, and invites all the nations of the earth to imitate our example. If he say that error and wrong are committed in the ad. ininistration of the Government; let him remem. ber that nothing human-can be perfect; and | that under no other system of government re- , vealed by Heaven or devised by man has rea- son been allowed so free and broad a scope to combat error. Has the sword of despots prov- ed to be a safer or surer instrument of reform in Government than enlightened reason? Does he expect to find among the ruins of this Union a happier abcde for our swarming millions than | they now have under it? Every lover of his country must shydder at the thought of the pos- sibility of its dissolution, and will be ready to adopt the patriotic sentiment, “ Our Federal Union, it must be preserved.” the compromises which alone enabled our fa- thers to form a common Constitution for the government and protection of so many States and distinct communities of such diversified ha- hits, and domestic institutions, mustebe sacredly | and religiously observed. Any attempt to dis- turb or destroy these compromises, being terms of the compact of Union, can lead to none other than the most ruinous and disastrous con- sequences. It is a source of deep regret, that in some | sections of our country misguided persons have oceasionaily indulged in schemes and agitations | whose object is the destruction of domestic in- stitutions existing in other sections—institutions | which existed at the adoption of the Constitu- | tion, and were recognized and protected by it. | | All must see that, if it were possible for them | to be successful in attaining their object, the | dissolution of the Union, a | destruction of our happy form of Government, | must speedily follow. | Iam hapyy to believe that at every period of | our existence as a nation there has existed, and | continue’ to exist, among the great mass of our | people, a devotion to the Union of the States, which will shield and protect it against the mor- | al treason of any who would seriously contem- | plate its destruction. ‘To secure a continuance | of that devotion, the compromises of the Con- | stitution must not only be preserved, but sectional | jealousies and heartburnings must be discoun- anced ; and all should remember that they are members of the same political family, having a common destiny. ‘To increase the attachment of our people to the Union, our laws should be Just. Any policy which shall tend to favor mo- nopolies, or the peculiar interests of sections or classes, must operate to the prejudice of the in- terests of their fellow-citizens, and should be avoided. If the compromises of the Constitu- tion be preserved—if sectional jealousies and heartburnings be discountenanced—if our laws be just, and the Government be practically ad- ministered, strictly within, the limits of power prescribed to it, we may discard all apprehen- sions for the safety of the Union.

Happy would it be for the indebted States if they were freed from their liabilities, many of which were incautiously contracted.— Although the Government of the Union is nei- ther in a legal nor a moral sense bound for the debts of the States,.and it would be a violation of our compact of the Union to assume them, et we cannot but feel a deep interest in seeing all the States meet their public liabilities and pay off their just debts at the earliest practical period. ‘That they will do so, as soon as it can be done without imposing too heavy burdens on their citizens, there is noreasontodoubt. The sound, moral, and honorable teeling of the peo- ple of the indebted §tates cannot be questioned; and we are happy to perceive a settled disposi- tion on their part, as their ability returns, after a season of unexampled pecuniary embarrass- ment, to pay off all just demands, and to acqui- esce in any reasonable measures to accomplish that object. One of the difficulties which we have had to encounter in the practical administration of the Government consists in the adjustment of our revenue laws and the levy of the taxes neces- sary forthe support of Government. In the general proposition that no more money sha!! be collected than the necessities of an economical administration shall require, all parties seem to acquiesce. Nor does there seem to be any material difference of opinion as to the absence of right in the Government to tax one section of the country, or one class of cilizens, or one occupation, for the mere profit of another.— “Justice and sound policy forbid the Federal Government to foster one branch of industry to the detriment of another, or to cherish the in- terests of one portion to the injury of another portion of our common country.” I have here- tofore declared to my fellow citizens that, in 4 “my judgment, it is the duty of the Govern. ment to extend, as far as it may be practicable to do so, by its revenue laws and all other means within its power, fair and just protection to all should therefore look on -he Leena as to the United States, not as the conquest of a nation ing to extend her dominions by arms and violence, but as the peaceful acquisition of | a territory once her own, by adding another member to our confederation with the consent of that member—thereby diminishing the chances of war, and opening to them new and ever-increasing markets for theif products. To Texas the reunion is important, because the strong protecting arm of our Government would lie extended over her, and thé vast re- sources of her fertile soil and genial climate would be speedily developed ; while the safety of New Orleans and ol our whole south-western frontier, against hostile aggression, as well as the interests of the whole Union, would be pro- moted by it. In the early stages of our national existence the opinion prevaiied with some that our system of confederated States could not operate suc- cessfully over an extended territory, and serious objections have at different times been made to the enlargement of our boundaries. These@b- jections were earnestly urged when we acquired Louisiana. Experience has shown that they were not well founded. The title of numerous Indian tribes to vast tracts of country have been extinguished—new States have been admitted into the Union—new Territories have been cre- ated, and our jurisdiction and laws extended over them.

In executing this | power by levying a tariff of duties for the support | of Government, the raising of revenue should be | the object and protection the incident. To re- | verse this principlé, and make protection the ob- ject and revenue the incident, would be to inflict manifest injustice upon all other than the pro. | tected interests. In levying duties for revenue, | it is doubtless proper to make such discrimina- | tions, within the revenue principle, as will afford incidental protection to our interests. Within the reverine limit, there is a discretion to dis- | criminate ; beyond that limit, the rightful exer- | cise of the power isconceded, The Mcidental | | protection afforded to our home interests by dis. | criminations witbin the revenue range, it is be- | lieved will be ample. In making discrimina. | ‘tions, all our home interests sbould, as far as | practicable, be equally protected. The largest | portion of our people are agriculturalists.

They are | all engaged in their respective pursuits, and their | joint labors constitute the national or home in- | dustry. ‘T’o tax one branch of this home indus. | try for the benefit of another would be unjust.— No one of these interests can rightfully claim an advantage over the others, or to be enriched by | impoverishing the other. All are equally enti- | tled to the fostering care and protection of the Government. In exercising a sound discretion | in levying discriminating duties within the limit prescribed, care should he taken that it be done in a manner not to benefit the wealthy few, at | the expense’ of the toiling millions, by taxing lowest the luxuries of life, or articles of superior quality and high price, which can only be con- sumed by the wealthy, and highest the necessa- ries of Jife, or articles of coarse quality and low price, which the poor and great mass of our peo- | ple must consume. The burdens of Govern- ment should, as far as practicable, be distributed justly and equally among all classes of our pop- ulation. These general views, long entertain. | ed on this subject, | have deemed it proper to | reiterate. It is a subject upon which conflict- ing interests of sections and occupations are | supposed to exist, and a spirit of mutual conces. | sion and compromise in adjusting its details | should be cherished by every part of our wide spread country, as the only means of presérving harmony and a cheerful acquiescence of all in | the operation of our revenue laws. Our patri- | otic citizens in every part of the Union will rea. | dily submit to the payment of such taxes as shall | be needed for the support of their Government, | whether in peace or in war, if they are so levied | as to distribute the burdens as equally as possi- | ble among them. The Republic of Texas has made known her , desire t® come into our Union, to form a part of | our Confederacy, and enjoy with us the blessings of liberty, secured and guarantied by our Con- | stitution.

"They have confed- erated together for certain specified objects.— Upon the same principle that they would refuse to form a perpetual union with “I'exas because of her local institutions, our forefathers would have been prevented from forming our present Union. Perceiving no valid objection to the measure, and many reasons for its adoptién vi- mand it. So far as it regards the Tariff, Mr. Pot, has done nothing more for less © than adopt the opinions of the Whigs. — He has reiterated his language contained in his letter to Mr. Kane, of Philadelphia, taken almost word for word from Mr. Clay’s speeches and letters, published. to the world years ago. From this, it will be seen, that he at once places himself in juxtaposition to the free trade wing of bis party, at the head of which Mr. Ca.soux stands most conspicuous. -How the South- ern chivalry will like this, we are anable as yet to say, as we have not bad time to hear from them. But if they are sincere. - in their professions—if they, in fact, think that “Free Trade” is essential to their prosperity, they of course cannot, with any show of consistency, co-incide with Mr. Pork on this subject. But so far as we are concerned, this. doctrine, if practised, will do very well, if he only has the firmness to act out his part as laid down in his address on this head. There is also one other promise made, if carried into effect by his.

It cannot be denied that it is @-diagrace to the city and Neck, that this | be preferred, two ot which may be adduced : | First—You are not under the necessity of edu, | cating them, and have therefore their,uninter- | rupted services from the age of eight years.— | The second is, that when you bave your mill | filled with expert hands, you are not subjected to the change which is constantly taking. place | with whites. In the Northern States, these are | inconveniences of no small moment. In Mas- | sachusetts, the laws forbid the employment of persons under fourteen years of age, ufless the employer can show a certificate from a school- master, stating that the individual has been at school three months in the year. ‘The teaching | of new bands and the constant change of ope- | ratives, are evils seriously felt ; and in the sum- mer season, when if is desirable to ramble in the country, many Eastorn tactories have one- | ' { | | want of hands. While on this part of the sub- ject, I would ask, shall we stop at the effort to Shall we pass unnoticed the thousands of poor, ignorant, degraded white people among us, who | ia this land-of plenty live in comparative na- kedness and starvation? Many a one is rear- | ed in proud South Carolina, from birth to man- | hoed, who has never passed a month in which | he has not some part of the time been stinted | for meat. Many a mother is there, who will tell you that her children are but scantily sup- plied with bread, and much more scantily with meat; and if they be clad with comfortable | raiment, it is at the expense of their scanty al. | lowance of food. ‘These may be startling state. | nents, but they are nevertheless true, and if not believed in Charleston, the members of our | Legislature, who have traversed the State in | electioneering campaigns, can attest their truth. It is only necessary to build a manufacturing | village of shanties, in a healthy location in any part of the Ae crowds of these poor people around yous@eeking employment at half the compensation given to operatives at the North. It is indeed painful to be brought in contact with such ignorance and degradation ; but on the other band, it is pleasant 10 witness the change which soon takes place in the con- dition of those who obtain employment. The emaciated, pale faced children soon assume the appearance of robust health, and their tat- tered garments are exchanged for those suited to a better condition ; if you visit their dwell- ings, you will find their tables supplied with | Wholesome food ; and on the Sabbath, when the females turn out in their gay colored gowns, you will imagine yourself surrounded by groups of city belles. How easy would it be for the | proprietors of such’ establishments, with only a small share of philanthropy, to make good use , of the school fund in ameliorating the condition of this class of our population, now but little elevated above the Indian of the forest. The | cause of this degradation and poverty will bere- aftee be noticed; it is an interesting subject, and one that ought to engage the attention of every philanthropist and christian. It is, per- haps, not generally known, that there are lacen- ly-ninz thousand white persons in this State, a- ' bove the age of twelye years, who can neither read nor write—this is about one in every five of the white population. That we are behind the age in agriculture, the mechanic arts, industry and enterprise, is apparent to all who pass through our State ; our good city of Charieston speaks a language | on this subject not to be mistaken; she has Jost | 1000 of her population, according to the cen. | sus of 1840, while her sister cities have doub- ! | led and quadrupled theirs ; she has had for thir- | teen years the advantage of the South Carolina | Railroad, which under ordinary circumstances would have doubled the number of ber popula- | tion, How does she now stand? Precisely where she siood twenty years ago, and but for | the two conflagrations which swept off many | of her old houses, she would present at this | moment the same appearance that she did if | | 1824. Where is the city, in this age of im- | provement, except Charleston, thata book bind. | er, or job-printer is prohibited the usc of a small | | steam engine, to enable him to carry on bis | business with more facility, and to cheapen the | price of those articles that we are purchasing | from other cities, more liberal to their artisans ? | and where a carpenter is not allowed the use ) of the same to tury a circular saw or drive a | mortising chisel, to enable him to compete with | | others in supplying us with ready-made doors, | | blinds, sashes, shutters, &c.? Even thé boxes | in which our merchandise is packed, are made in the city of New York by steam power, and | brought to our very doors.” ‘The *book-bindet, tanner, currier, hatter, wagon-maker, carriage. | maker, turner, tinper, and in fact, persons en- | gaged in every branch of mechanism, find steam | power indispensable ; and knowing, as we do, | that they are unrestricted in its use in other | cities. why are our mechanics forbid its use in | | this city?” There is a strong disposition man- | ifested by this class of our citizens to elevate | and improve their several trades, and if they are | properly encouraged, thére is no doubt thyta | manufacturer, after a tesi- | dence of eight » is Treatise on | peri ent of slave | pected, ; > ok ; labor sacceed in cost. of manafact less there [U.

It is this class of men that gives life, strength and vigor to all branches of trade, and every depart- ment of life, and if they were properly encour- aged, our city authorities would no longer have to resort to dramshop licenses for revenue ; money would soon be found to pay her debts and pave her streets. Let our City Council begin, by removing the restrictions on the use [ of the steam engine. Who would not rather have an oceasional whiff of smoke from a steam engine, than the scent of an odious grogshop ? The former a bénefit, the latter a curse to the community. So far as figgerisks are concern- | ed, it would be safer to have three engines, than | one such magazine of mischief and corruption, | licensed by our City Council, under the title of | “retailers of ardent spirits.” | Need any thing be said about the amount of capital required for embarking in these pur- suits? It is only necessary to revert to the fact, | that lands and negroes pay but three per cent. when engaged in the cultivation of cotton, and to name the price of 5 and 6 per cent. State | stocks. Need a woid be said as to the men who are to carry on these enterprises? It is only necessary to point you to the bone and sin. ew that are leaving our city and State, to en. | rich and populate others. Any one that has | visited Mississippi and Alabama can soon point | out the maelstrom that has swallowed up so | much of the enterprise and capital of South Carolina. The period is fast approaching in South Car. | olina, which shall produce a great change in | these matters. Many persons are now looking | to the subject of manufactures. with intense in- | terest, and it is believed that many men of capi- tal would at once embark iti this business, cou!d this field for profitable enterprise be laid open before our wealthy business men of Charleston, a host of whom can be found, with nerves that | never tire, and with as much forecast and | shrewdness as the merchant manufacturers of | Boston, and these latter gentlemen see that it | is only necessary that Georgia and the two | Carolinas shall engage in the manufacture of | | coarse cotton fabrics, in order to monopolize the trade in these articles. What isto prevent such | a result? Have we not the raw material on | the spot, thus saving the freight of a double transportation? Is not labor cheaper with us | than with our Northern brethren? and if we | believe that they are reaping such golden‘har.- | vests, what shall prevent our participation in | the spoils? Let the ball be set in motion, then will our miserably poor white population at once | rise from their ignorance and degradation, and | we shall no longer hear the complaint, that | planting capital will pay no more than three ; per cent. ‘The commerce and trade of our | State would at once receive a fresh impulse— our city would become a mart for domestic goods —railroad stocks would increase in value—our city would disrobe herself of her old-fashioned, | rusty, tattered and torn garments, to be clad in the fashionable clothing of the day—her whiten. ed walls and improved suburbs would remind Trost do my ag haan the stranger as he passes through, that the hand | Adminstration Bonds, Bail, do. of industry and enterprise was at work among | Prosecution, —_ do: Letters Testamentary, us.

The following instance of magnanimity deserves to be preserved. It proves that neither the presence nor example of the monarchs of Europe could betray the late King of Sweden into what was unbecom- ing to himself and due to others.

Recall that at this crisis the Prince of Sweden with 30,000 men landed on the shores of the Baltic, and, strength- ened by a Russian and Prussian division, advanced upon the French army. defeated Marshal Ney, and made Napoleon’s re- treat upon Leipzig unavoidable. Let us remember the main characters of this e- ventful battle fought under its walls, con- tinued throughout three days without the until, on the close of the second day, the | Swedes marched into action, and, by at- | tacking the flank of the enemy, compelled Napoleon in the afternoon of the third day | to seek the safety of himself and his guards Was a master plan inthe French empe- | in flight, and accomplished this only by | for the period of twelve months after such | ror, by which he hoped, and hoped not the sacrifice of his army, by blowing up | notice shall have been given.

Europe saw herself free fromthe shame- | ful and galling yoke of France,and France, | driven within her own frontiers, was for- ced to contend for her own existence. Thus much belongs to history. But in | the evening of this victory a circumstance | occurred among great events, but strongly | contrasting the character of the Swedish | prince with those of his sovereign allies. Upon Napoleon’s retreat from Dresden, he carried with him the King of Saxony _in a sort of honorable imprisonment, and confined him with his family in the ground In its floor of the town-house of Leipzig. the envoy to a window commanding | great hate the sovereigns assembled im- | mediately after the battle, to learn the re- | | t sults and consult upon future operatiens. The King of Saxony, informed of their | presence, sent a gentleman of his court to | wait upon them and represent to them his | condition ; first he was to address the Em- | /er, and it was time for freemen to dispos- | | peror of Austria as his kinsman, then the | Emperor of Russia; should they refuse to | interfere, next the King of Prussia; and, | | as a last resource, the Prince of Sweden. | The Emperor of Austria mildly declin- | ed to act; the czar told him, it was no bu- | siness of his; the King of Prussia gave a | rude refusal; and bis after conduct prov- ed that already he had formed designs up- on Saxony, from which he finally wrested two-fifths of its territory.

A Governor is to be ap- pointed for five years, and a Secretary for Courts; and a reccrd of the proceedings of these functionaries is to be transmitted to Washington every six months. “Tt is further provided that a Governor may mark off the territory into districts and enforce all necessary regulations to render the militia of the territory efficient. | When there are five thousand inhabi- | tants over twenty-one years of age they shall have power to forma Territorial Le- | gislature. “The President is required by the bill to erect stockade forts in the territory to the number of five from some point on the Missouri river, and on the most practica- ble route to the south pass in the Rocky Mountains. He is also required to erect fortifications at or near the mouth of the Columbia river. * “ Every settler in the colony of eighteen years of age and upwards is to have 640 acres of land, if he will cultivate the same for five consecutive years.

Mr. Belser, of Alaba- | ma, ‘ believed that our right tothe Oregon | | was indisputable, and though this question was likely to involve us in a war, he was ready to take ground in favor of it.

Whereas it is deemed proper and expedient to have a decisive expression of public opinion concerning the establishment of a Penitentiary in this State ; and whereas such expression of public opinion shoul based upon a know- ledge that the fund for such purpose must be rais- ed by a direct tax: therefore, Be tt enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina, and is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, ‘That at the next election for members of the General Assembly of this State, the Sheriff or proper officer, in every County in the State, shall prepare a box for the reception of votes on the subject o!

The natives of the Gaboon River have sent a petition to the Queen of Great Britain implo- riog the protection of her Government against the injustice and avarice of the French. The cause which led to thif petition are stated in the subjoined paragraph, copied from the Herald : Fora long time a large number of French and English vessels has visitedghis river for the purchase of ivory, gum, wax, and barwood, of which articles a large quantity is collected there. Recently American vessels have found the way there, and have gone largely into the business. ‘The vessels of all nations have been admitted ou equal fuoting—no preferences giv- en or partialities shown to any except when prompted by superiority or cheapness of goods. In consequence of the increasing number of ves- sels visiting the place a strong competition has sprung up. ‘This the French did not relish, and to prevent it attempted to purchase the riv- er, which would of course give them the right to exclude conception. Every offer to purchase was met by the natives with a firm but respect- ful refusal to sell. The French however, de- termined not to be outdone, have, it appears, ef- fected by finesse what fair and open efforts fail- ed to accomplish, and the natives’ land, the gift- of heaven to their ancestors, has been wrested from them, and they subjected to foreign rule.

An act of grace was done by John Tyler be- fore he retired, which it gives us pleasure to be > able to commend. Capt. Newton, as our readers know, was in command of the U. S. steam ship Missouri, when she was destroyed by fire in Gibraltar bay. On his return, Capt. Newton was tried by a Court Martial, and sentenced to be suspended for some years, we believe, with the loss of pay during suspension. Discipline, and the usages of the service be- _ ing vindicated by this sentence, under which, moreover, Captain Newton has been suffering for several months, Mr Tyler, in consideration of the excellent general character and past ser- vices of this gentlemanly and gallant officer, re- mitted the remainder of the time of suspension, and he is now restored and awaiting orders. Condemnation, we are bound to say, was in our judgment called for, and that having been pronounced, the act of grace will be received y all with satisfaction. [N. Y. Courier. } i? Baltimore Methodist Episcopal Annual Con- ference.—The annual session of the Baltimore Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church was. to have met in that city on yesterday. It is said all the Bishops will be present except Bishop Andrews, and Bishop Waugh will pre- { made by our Government to the protest of Gen. | A.monre, and that it has been framed upon the | precept that ‘asoft answer turneth away wrath.’ The Mexican Minister spoke of the annexation of a province of Mexico as ‘an unparalleled | outrage ;’ our Government passes by this harsh language, and seeks to smooth over the wrong, which no argument can justify.” Gen. Simon Cameron, has been chosen a Senator in Congress from Pennsylvania, in place of the Hon. James Bucuanan, now Sec- Democrat. of the Washington letter writers for the Northern papers, give currency to a ru- mor, that the British Minister had sent a remonstrance to Mexico, against the issue of letters of marque and reprisal. The ning, states that circulars to the Mexican consuls in the ports of the United States had been addressed by Signor ALMontr, informing them that his functions had ceas- ed, and that he had taken passage for Ve- ra Cruz. The Patriot further states that information was received in Charleston, Saturday morning, communicating the in- telligence that the French Minister had ernment until he should receive further advices from Mexico.

But how art thou fallen from Heaven, oh Lu- cifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, that didst weaken the na- tions! If we overleap a hundred years, and look at Spain towards the close of the seven- teenth century, what a change do we find!— The contrast is as great as that which the Rome of Gallienus and Honorious presents to the Rome of Marius and Cesar. Foreign conquest has begun to eat into every part of the gigantic monarchy on which the sun never set, Hol- land. was gone, and Portugal, and Artois, and Roussilon, and Franche Comte. In the East, the empire founded by the Dutch far surpassed in wealth and splendor, that which their old ty- rants still retained. In the West, England had seized and still held settlements in the midst of the Mexican sea. The mere loss of territory was however of little moment. The reluctant obedience of distant provinces generally costs more than it is worth. Empires that branch out widely are often Adrian acting judiciously when he abandoned the conquests of Trajan. England was never so rich, so great, so formidable to foreign prin- ees, so absolutely mistress of the sea, as after the loss of her American colonies, great and magnificent. The European domin. ions, subiect.to the last feeb’e Prince of the House of Austria, was far more extensive than that of Louis XIV. The American dependen- cies of the Castilian crown still extended to the north of Cancer and to the south of Capricorn. curable decay, an utter want of tone, an utter prostration of strength. An ingenious and dil- igent population, eminently skilled in arts and manufactures, had been driven into exile by stu- pid and remorseless biggots. Spanish pencil had departed with Velasquez and Murallo, The Splendid age of Spanish lit- During the seventeenth century, many States had formed great military establishments. But the Spanish army, so formidable under the com- mand of Alva and Farnese, had dwindled away to a few thousand men, ill.paid and ill-disciplin- ed... England. Holland and France, had great navies. But the Spanish navy was séarcely Philip the Second, had been the terror of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The arsenals were deserted. The magazines were unpro- vided, The frontier fortresses were ungarri- soned. The police was utterly insufficient for the protection of the people. Murders were committed in the face of day with perfect im. punity. Bravoes and discarded men with swords at their sides, swaggered every day through the most public streets and squares of the capital, disturbing the peace and setting at defiance the ministers of justice. The finances were in a Government received little. The American viceroys and the farmers of the revenue became rich, while the merchants broke, while the peas- antry-starved, while body servants of the sover- eigns remained unpaid, the ‘soldiers of the roy- al guard repaired daily to the doers of convents, and battled there with the crowd of beggars for a porringer of broth and a morsel of el Every remedy which was tried aggravated the frantic. measure produced its never-fading ef. fects, Igdestroyed all credit and inereased the misery, which it was intended to relieve.

The Mother and her Family.—The most perfect sample of philanthropy I ever met was a poor woman, who was apparently the poorest and most forlorn of the haman species—so true is the maxim which all profess to believe, and none act upon in- variably, viz? that happiness does not de- pend on outward circumstances. The wise woman to whom] have alluded, walks to Boston, adistance of about twenty or thirty miles, to sell a bag of brown thread and stockings, and then patiently walks back again with her littlegain. Her dress, though tidy, is a grotesque collection of “shreds and patches,” coarse in the ex- treme. “ Why don’t you come down ina wagon?” said 1, when observed she was wearied with her long journey. “ We haven’t got any horse,” she repli- | ed—*“the neighbors are very kind to me, | but they can’t spare ther’n, and it would eost me as muclr to hire one as all my thread would:come to.” “You have a hasband—doesn’t he do anything for you?” “He is a good man—he does all he can, | but he is a cripple and an invalid. He | reels my yarn, and mends the children’s shoes, He’sas kind a husband as a wo- man need to have.” “ But bis being a cripple is a heavy mis- fortune to you,” said I. “ Why ma’am, | don’t look upon it in | that light,” replied thethread woman. “1 | consider that I’ve great reason to be thank- ful that he never took to any bad habits.” his * How many children have you ?” “ Six sons and five daughters !” “What a family for a poor woman to | support !” | “It’s a family, ma‘am; but there ain’t | | one of ’em I'd be willing to lose. They /are all healthy children as need be—all | willing to work, and all clever to me.) | Even the littlest boy when he gets a cent | | how and then for doing an errand, will be | | sure to bring it to me.” “Do your daughters spin your thread 7” | “No, ma’am: assoon as they are big | | enough they go out to service, as I don’t | | want to keep them always delving for me; | they are always willing to give me what | they can; but it’s right and fair that they | | should do a little for themselves. 1 doall | my spinning after the folks are abed.” | “ Don’t you think you should be better | | if you had.none bat yourself to provide or ” | «Why ma’am, I'don’t.

West Indies.—We have a terrible example of the rainous effects of emancipating colored. slaves without transporting and colonizing them, in the operation of the emancipation sys- tem in the Brtish West Indices. The Roy- al Gazette of Kingston, Jamaica, of the 30th January, speaking of the crops, inti- mates that a Jarge fibentity of valuable cane is rotting onthe ground in St. Mary’s owing to the slothfulness of the Jaborers. Having received large wages, in conse- quence of the heaviness of the crop, previ- ous to Christmas, the laborers immediately stopped work and abandoned themselves to revelling in luxuriance and _ idleness, “Some of the coffee and sugar estates,” says the Gazette,“in St. John in the East, are suffering incredibly in the same way, the fields being covered with ripe fruit, while the laborers had abandoned them- seles to every species of dissipation—car- ing nothing for the morrow so that they enjoyed themselves to-day.” An Odd Question—A young Jotham took it into his head one day to get a wife. He accordingly looked about him, and ve- ry soon made such selections as suited him, and was not long in striking a bar- gain and settling the preliminaries. He then applied to a clergyman to perform the ceremony. “But, are you prepared for such an important change in life?” said the reverend gentleman. “I guess I be,” said Jotham, * for I have got my land just paid for, and L own a cow and a pig.”— “ Very well,” said the holy man, with a long breath and a sober face, “all these worldly things may be proper in their place, to be sure; but have you ever thought of salvation?” This was a poser. ‘Salk Vation,’ says Jotham, ‘ who in thun- der is she !” > A beautiful superstition prevails among the Irish, that he who happens to (find a four-leaved sham-rock, becomes possessed of the magic power to gratify all his wishes in this life, by his mere com- mand. Lover, the Poet, in the benevo- lence of his heart, has said that if he were the lucky finder, he would use the power for the good of mankind in this wise : “ Teo worth he would give honor, He'd dry the meurner’s tears, And to the pallid lip recall The smile of happier years ; And friends that had been long estranged, And hearts that had grown cold, Should meet again like parted streams, And mingle as of old. And thus he’d use the enchanter’s power, To scatter bliss around, And not a tear or aching heart Should in the world be found !” A small portion of honey mixed with lukewarm water, and allowed to cool, makes an excellent wash for sunburns and chilblains. Whoever is honest, generous, courteous, honorable, and candid, is a true gentle- man, whether learned or unlearned, rich or poor. It isa great and awful fact, that a man’s intellectaal powers may be very highly cultivated while his moral feelings are in a state of lamentable impurity.

When this mission was established some years since, the English maintained a splendid embassy in Persia, in order to conciliate that n anticipated encroachments of Russia upon the British Indian Empire. Her invasion of Aff- ghanistan, which formed so romantic a chapter in her Eastern history, was prompted by the same motive, a purpose to seize and become master of the passes through which alone the Russian designs could be carried into execution. chiefty to the disavowal by Russia of any such intention as was imputed to her by British jeal- ousy, England was induced to give up Affghan- istan and to withdraw her Embassy from Per- sia, which thenceforth came under Russian in- fluence. A Russia Ambassador took up his -residence there, and being a zealous Protestant, extended his protection to the American Mission. About a year since, chiefly in consequence of the controlling influence of the Russian Ambas- sador, the Jesuits were expelled, for the third time, from among the Nestorians. The French officer, who solicited the recall of the Jesuits. This application being opposed firmly by the Russian Ambassador, was denied; and the French officer then demanded that they should be impartially just, and send away the Protest- ants.”’. son for expelling the Jesuits, was because they were making proselytes : but that the American Missionaries were not exposed to the same charge, seeking merely to revive the piety and learning of the Nestorian Church ; and there- fore could not be disturbed. The Frenchman affirmed on the contrary, that they have been proselyting from the Nestorian Church, and so- licited an examination of the facts. A Commission was accordingly appointed, which repaired to Oroomiah and took the testi- mony of natives summoned before them. By this testimony the charge was not substantiated, but it was believed that a report unfriendly to the Mission had been made by the Com- mission, and signs of hostility had been exhibi- ted by some of the Russian officials. Mr. Per- kins, connected with the Mission, had set out for Teheran in order to learn the actual state ui things and take such steps as should appear, on examination, to be necessary.—V. Y. Courter & Enquirer. A Romantic Story.—A circumstance which has afforded ample material for the gossips of Southwark, Pa., has occurred within the last few days. A gentleman, resident in the South- wark-bridge road, has been for a considerable time in the habit of attending a coffee-house in Cannon strect city; and whether or not par- ticular attentions were paid to the damsel in waiting, the result was that she fell desperately in love with her customer. Affection ripened into positive madness, and the poor girl, intent on never losing sight of her passion, followed him from day to day, and even during the night never allowed vigilance to cease. Several times, on his way homeward, the gentleman al- luded to has encountered the fair damsel on Southwark-bridge, and threats have been held out that unless some proof was given that her love was reciprocated she would terminate her existence by leaping from the parapet. On one occasion she attempted to carry her threat into execution, but was prevented by the gentleman. It appears that at a later hour of the night she tendered her money to the toll-keeper, with a view of passing through, but her request was refused, an intimation of her intention to com- mit self-destruction having been previously giv- en. On Thursday some circumstances transpir- ed that made it apparent that if precautionary measures were not taken, the worst might be expected, and the girl was given into the custo- dy of the police. Shortly afterwards she ap- peared before Mr. Alderman Challis, at Guild- hall, and was sent to Giltspur street Compter, where she will remain until her fit of love shall have subsided, or until some security shall be afforded that-@ similar course of conduct shall not be re rope and America,.and various have be n ry schemes for relaxing the drea: rhs ‘far without effect, But there is now in | mountable objection in the formation of A friend of ours has received letters from | Nestoria, in Persia, to the 22d of November ;— | Governmént and thus oppose a barrier to the | From a variety of causes, however, and owing | To this it was answered that the rea. | London a Senor from Mexico, who, F having full authority rom bis Government to undertake the work, aid large contes- |. sions in his favor in the event of success, bas cansed an aécurate survey to be made of the main rdute for such a canal, hav- ing previously decided in favor of that of at. He is now soliciting the aid of English capita] and enterprise to ena- ble him to carry out his views. ‘ At the Isthmus of Panama the distance bet ween the two oceans is only forty miles, and this would seem prima facia to deter- mine that as the spot for undertaking the | canal. An accurate survey of this ronte has been recently executed under the or- ders of the French Government. The re- | sult is not known, but is supposed to be unfavorable. Even ifthere beno insur- the ground, it is known that the approach | from the ocean to the Isthmus is so shal- low as to prevent vessels of any size from nearing the land. But a ship canal must of necessity have harbors at each end, of | sufficient draught of water to enable ves- ' sels tocontinue their course from: Europe | or America to the Pacific without break- | ‘ing bulk. This one defect, therefore, con- | | demns the short route of Panama. More- | ever, the whole region is unhealthy toa) | degree deadly to European life. The next and more feasible project is | by the way of Nicaragua. The distance 'there from sea to sea is ninety-five miles, | | but the larger portion of the space is oc- _cnpied by Lakes Leon and Nicaragua, the 'ceep river of Tihitapa which connects the two lakes, and the ample bed of the San Juan, which pours the waters of these | lakes into the Atlantic. | The climate is healthy, the soil fertile ‘and the population not deficient. But the | physical obstacles arising from rocky falls ‘in the river, and the number of locks that | would be requisite to descend from lake | Leon, to the Pacific, which lies 157 feet | below, present so many difficulties, as to ' turn attention to the third route, especial- ly when to these considerations is added | another startling fact disclosed long ago | by Humboldt, “ there, is not on the face of the globe another spot so thickly studded with volcanos, as that part of America which lies between the 11th and 13th de- grees of northern latitude.” Nicaragua is embraced within these parallels, and | voleanos with their offspring (?) Earth- quakes are, as is readily perceived, of bad augury for canal making and keeping. The Isthmus of Tehuantepec is in breadth | in a straight line from the Mouth of the Coatzacoalcos on the atlantic, to the Paci- | ‘fic 130 miles. The line of the proposed canal would lie between 16 deg. 3 min’s. and 17 deg. North latitude. A great por- ‘tion of the Southern side is occupied by | lagoons and extensive plains, and on the Atlantic side the Coatzacoalcos can be rendered navigable, as its mouth is more | ‘than a third of a mile wide, with never less than twenty-one feet water in the bar. | Indeed, according to Balbi, “ it is the finest port formed by any one of the rivers that discharge into the gulf of Mexico, not even excepting the Mississippi. On the Pacific a harbor equally good -could be constructed in the lagoons of Tehuantepec—where the depth of water varying from 15 to 18 feet, can be readily increased by dredging—the bottom being mud and shingle. The Isthmus of Tehuantepec is remark- ably healthy—produces fine timber—and is capable of sustaining a numerous pop- ulation. . The route therefore of Tehuantepec is , that adopted by M.

The Washington correspondent of the Balti- more Patriot in his letter of the 17th inst., says ocratic office-hunters are growing deeper and they have helped to bring about—or rather to lay “ Van Burenism ” alias “ Old Hunkerism” on the shelf, has turned out to be the worst kind _ of a revolution—a complete restoration of the very Van Burenism they strove so hard to put down by securing the success of Polk and Dal- las. And they point to the offers made to Wright and Butler of New York, to take seats in the Cabinet—and then the appointment of ex-Governor Marcy, of that State to the War Department, and Butler to the Southern Dis- * trict Attorneyship, and Prentiss to the Northern District Marshalship, and Purdy to the Survey. orship of the Port of New York—all New York. Van Buren-Old Hunkers, though claimed with the exception of Gov.

In the case, the party which held the as. caphenty ts the State, was to be cheated by electing to the U. S. Senate, a man who would act with their political adversaries. A conser- vative, who, it was discovered, had a dozen of this purpose there were found a sufficient num- ber Ly democratic members of easy political vir- tue to aid in electing him. The Pennsylvanian, says: “It is a source of the deepest regret that we find ourselves compelled to state'‘thatths demo. cratic candidate for the United States Senate— George W. Woodward—bas been defeated by | 2. combination in the Legislature, of Whigs and Natives, strengthened by the votes of a few re- creant demociats, who have thus eontrived to give the important position vacated by Mr. Bu- cuanan’s resignation, to Simon Cameron, the Cashier of the Middletown Bank. The partic- ulars of this transaction, which cannot fail to excite an indigfant feeling throcgh the com- monwealth, may be seen at length, in the letter of our Harrisburg correspondent, published in another column. It is said, we observe, that Mr. Cameron is pledged to the support of Whig measures, and that his “ notions,” or whatever else they may be called, are set down as thor- oughly of the Whig school; and so, Pennsyl- vania—a state which bas just achieved a mighty triumph for the democratic cause—is to have this Mr. Cameron, “pledged to Whig meas- hus divided, the Senate of the United | ures” and all that, to represent her in the Sen. | ate of the U. States, and to stand up—or rather | we should say, to sit down, in the place of James | Buchanan.

It will perhaps be enough to say of them, that they are the men who sent Simon Cameron to the U. S. Senate in prefer. ence to George W. Woodward. Such a record will be sufficient to secure to them the species of distinction to which they are so well entitled.” We publish, in another part of the paper, the list of the ballotings had by the Pennsylvania | Legislature, from which it appears that the Cashier of the Middletown Bank began with eleven votes. These were increased by accumu- lations from the nativist ranks, until the time was thought ripe for carrying the coalition into ef- fect, and a Whig Senator, or worse than Whig, a democrat after the fashion of David R. Porter, | was imposed upon the people of the State. Mr. Woodward, who was defeated by this treachery, is said to be a man of great merit and ability. oe 7 FROM THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.

It has been the custom for the Vice President of the United States, when sit: ting as President of the Senate, to with- draw from the chair before the close of each session, in time to allow the Senate _ the opportunity of making choice of a Pre- _sident pro tempore, who holds over to the following session, and resumes the Chair at its commencement, should the Vice | President be absent on the day of meet- ing.

We were at the moment in treaty with England about the right to the very territory which was taken possession of by the Oregon bill. It matters not whether this right were on our part questionable or unquestionable— whether negotiation were the best or the worst resort, or the manner Of it satisfac- tory or the contrary ; still. there was the negotiation. The Senate had asked for papers concerning it, and: were answtred that the negotiation was still pending with hopes of a peaceful settlement. Surely, considering how many administrations have given themselves up,.with the ap- proval of Congress, to this mode of settle- ment, it was not to be treated with con- tempt. It should at least be brought to a close before a more summary mode was restored to. And this we understand was the ground of the vote of. our Senators a- gainst taking up the bill.” THE UNITED STATES AND. THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC. In the Message of Gov.

FRIDAY MORNING. e “ANNEXATION” IN TEXAS. ° It to be by no means certain, from the complexion of the Texas ne rs, that the “ annexation ” which our ress has transcended its consti- tutional authority by attempting to legal- ize, will, after all, be consummated on the terms proposed. News from Texas has been received at New Orleans to the 8th instant, at which time information had reached Texas of the passage of the Joint Resolution by our House of Representa-. tatives; which elicited the subjoined com- mentaries from papers understood to be exponents of the views of the Government of that gountry. We copy them just as we find them. Our readers must receive a different impression from the perusal of them than we do, if they can imagine an form of annexation whatever, that the U. nited States could possibly agree to, which would be acceptable to, or accepted by, the authors of these commentaries. [ Nat. Int. From the Galveston Civilian. The article which we copy to day from the National Register, affords gratifying evidence of a return, on the part of the friends of annexation in this country, to a proper sense of self-respect, and an understanding of the position which Texas may and ought to assume in rela- tion to the question. Our friends beyond the sabine have lost sight of the homely adage that it takes two to make a bargain ; and only studied how to shape measure3 so as to make the reciprocity all on one side,” until at length their utter selfishness and disregard of the respect due to ‘Texas as an independent nation, which has thus far maintained her nationality, right and liberties, begins to produce the natural fruits of disappointment and aversion in those of our citizens who had looked to that quarter for a magnanimous and disinterested regard for our wel- fare and happiness. The helpless and perishing beggar may, without hesitation, accept the most humiliating conditions for, and agree to become the menial of, him from whom he receives the means of averting famine and death ; but the sturdy yeoman, whose honest indus- try and strong arm afford him all the means of subsis- tence and protection requisite to his condition and habits | in life, may well shun the banquet and the association, if invited into the society of the more wealthy and presum- | ing, when his acceptance is to be coupled with acknow- | ledgments of vassalage and inferiority. There are several other extracts on this | subject from Texas papers, which, if it Were possible, we would be glad to give in to-day’s paper. But we have neither time nor room. Next week they shall ap- pear. Texas, it would seem, will not be 80 easily annexed as many crazy people have thought. She is not a beggar to ac- cept any terms which the United States may propose.

Prout, Chaplain. ’ ‘Proprietors of this School were led to ‘its establishment by the following consid- erations : In the South-west corner of Ashe county, where the School is situated, there is a popu- lous Valley, ynsurpassed in salubrity of climate, —surrounded, as it is, by sloping hills, deep glens, and lofty mountains, presenting, at once, | all that is inviting to the lover of nature, or to | the practical Agriculturist. A valley, not pent | up by rocky barriers, but of easy access—open- | ing in every direction, through free mountain passes to the large districts of similar country | tho ‘in the adjacent counties of Caldwell, Yancey, , and Carter in East Tennessee. But a valley, like the whole region around ‘it—though peo- | pled by a generous and natarally intelligent race | —sorely oppressed with the evils of ignorance upon every subject connected with the true in- terests of man here, or his hopes hereafter; and | : e : destitute of means in itself tu remedy these evils —to develope its abundant, natural resources, and to recover and elevate its depressed and suf- | fering population. After sufficient, personal ac- | quaintance with this state of things, aided by the careful observations of a resident Missionary, | the Bishop of the Diocese has considered it an imperative duty to make an immediate effort to secure to this needy country, the blessings of Christian Education in all its more essentia! branches. In doing this, however, it was believed that another important interest in the State might be eminéntly subserved. That the Schools in our towns and villages are, from their mere position, exposed more or less to peculiar temptations to vice, extravagance and insubordination, is a matter, from painful experience, generally ad- mitted. country of a number of excellent Schools al- district, remote from all public haunts, at the ted to develope the physical, while they strength- sound and healthy constitution. richness of soil, and beauty of natural scenery | ready.

C., till the Post Office is established at. the School, when public notice will be given. The climate of Valle Crucis presents pecul- iar advantages. With a delightful temperature in summer, its winters, from its peculiar Moun- tain protection, are similar in mildoess and length to those on the Eastern side of the Blue Ridge—the same products being cultivated and matured equally in both situations, while at a distance of not more than twelye miles north, roducts are those of the climate of New York. The climate of this Valley is regarded as peculiarly favorable, from its dryness and softness, to persons of weak lungs. The Carriage Roads to to this Valley,t either from Morganton, (35 miles,) or from Lenoir, | (28,) or from Wilkesboro’, (40,) are good—from the latter place especially. Arrangements will be made at these several Towns, and ‘also at Jefferson, Ashe co., (25 miles from the Valley,) to take Pupils with luggage, directly to the School. This district of country was visited during the last Summer by a number of Families, to enjoy in their fullest measure, the benefits of Mountain air and Scenery.

Our young men, instead of being educated with a view to this honorable, | independent, and salutary pursuit, usually come from our Colleges, impressed with the notion, | that no genileman can, in the true sense of the term, be a Farmer. A School, therefore, estab- lished in that of the State, where land and free | | labor are cheap, and where every advantage is | enjoyed for connecting with such an Institution, | at the least expense and the greatest facility, an | Agricultural Department, seemed in the highest | degree, desirable. The Proprietors, therefore, were willing, un- der what appeared tothema duty of peculiar ur- gency, to undergo some risk in the undertaking. | But they did not hesitate to believe that the peo- ple of North Carolina would sustain them in it ; —that Parents, in the more settled porttons of the country, when they contemplated the sub- stantial advantages of the propoged School to their own sons, would give it their countenance, | so far at least, as to entrust to the care of its founders, a sufficient number of these sons, to ‘enable them to extend the blessings of a thor- ough Education in letters, Agriculture and the Religion of Christ, to one of the most needy, as | well as the most fertile and beautiful sections of the State. They determined, therefore, to en- ‘ter at once and with energy into the project. To carry out the determination, they have | purchased a Farm of some 600 acres—nearly | 100 cleared—embracing the entire Valley, (called Valle Crucis,) where it is situated—less than a mile from the main Valley of Wataga. Upon this Farm is a Grist and Saw Mill already, and plain buildings to accommodate from 40 to | 50 persons, to be completed and paid for by the ' Ist of May next. mond, owned by O. B.

Dear Sir: |] hawe the honor to acknow- ledge the receipt of your communication of the 16th instant, and hasten to make a short reply to your inquiries relative to the farm. First, the mode of culture.—I] invariably | turn over with a heavy subsoil plough, in | the early part of November, some 8 or 10 | / acres of old meadow land, and roll the fur- | rows down with a heavy roller; leaving .| the frost during the winter to destroy all | | Vegetation for weeds, &c., and the follow- | ing spring cross-plough it well, and har- | row it twice. Second.—The manure 1 make consists | of one-third creek mud, or decomposed ve- | getable matter, one-third stable or barn- yard manure, one-third unslaked fine lime, Thirdly.—In planting. I never use more than five grains of the best selected corn | for the hill; and as the plant shows itself | through the ground, thereby allowing the action of the mvisture of the atmosphere, or rain, to run the leached substance to the root of the plants. In pursuing this course, I find, on the first cleansing, that ut a few, if any, (so called), nubbins show themselves. Again, I have, from experi- ence, found it unnecessary to hoe my corn three times. ‘All that is necessary to make it propagate well is to keep it clean from weeds, and Jet the bracers or holders strike well into the ground. I have in the hill tried hen dung ; and unless very great care is taken to use but about a gill to the hill, it will assuredly destroy all growth. Fourthly.—I plant from three to four feet apart, and have never failed to raise from each ait reco four to seven. well- grown ears. Inthe summersof 1 1843 ¥ planted nine acres of wad half Long Island yellow, and one-half Long Island white. We hada contest at eling northwest of the | | | sweet voices joined in singiug, which yields a r quantity to the acre than will the best of oats ; and it will weigh per bushel about 47 to_54 pounds ; and the straw is of greater value for all purposes ‘than any other; and I may, with trath, remark, that it does not reduce the strength of the soilso much as oats, by at least some 20 per cent. You would really do our old stabborn farmers of Connecticut an essential service, by urg- ing them to vary their culture, not only in their land, but every description of their stock. On the bottomlands of the State, lying on the’sound, there is no necessity for complaint, for the yield will well com- pensate the husbandman. The great dif- fieulty arises from the almost entire im- practicability of improving the ideas of our old farmers to any thing that promi- ses the smallest advantage or improve- ment. Lime, with the decomposed vegetable | matter taken from our creeks, forms a va- | luable manure, and is at the command of | almost every farmer in this vicinity. The | use of plaster is given up on our grounds | here, owing to the atmosphere being too | salt for its use. My timothy meadows yielded me last year an average of 3} tons | per acre; and if the ensuing summer | should be more moist, I hope to have 34 | tons per acre. As you requested, I have given you a hasty scrawl; but I beg you to be assur- ed that there is no difficulty in ucing in our vicinity rising 125. bushels of shell- ed corn to the acre, but care must be ta- ken to produce it. With sentiments of regard, yours, &c. VERDINE ELLSWORTH. IIon. H. L. Evtsworru. A Minister ata Ball.—Having received a card to attend ““‘Washington’s Birth Day,” Feb. 21, 1845, Rev. Samuel Marsh and wife were escorted into the ball room, in Plainfield, Ver- mont, between seven and eight o’clock in the evening, and as they were walking up to the music, were introduced to the company by one of the managers. subject of dancing, and quoting scripture to it.— At the close, he proposed singing a psalm, “Together let us sweetly live,” and scores of | as proposed. Mr. Marsh kneeled and prayed; after which he and his wife were seated, and his Bible were opened before the company, while a large num- ber danced a cotilion. The reverend gentle. | man, in a card, states that “be left the room | because a storm was coming up, and that, through | the whole he and his wife were very kindly | treated.” We can very readily imagine such which are the effects of crowded cities. Three Children Frozen to Death.—A touch. | ing incident is thus related by the Auxiliare Bre. ton: “ During the last few days of cold, three young | children of the town of Baines had been sent out by their parents to gather dead wood. These poor infants lost themselves in the wood, and night came on without their being able to refind their road. The eldest, scarce six years old, sought some shelter, and there huddled up his little brothers ; he then stripped himself of his waistcoat, and covered them with it, and made them a rampart from the wind with his body. It was in this conditon that they were found the next morning, all three frozen todeath.” A Singular Cure for the Headache.—I had a voilent headache, which the captain undertook to cure, and he certainly succeeded. He made me sit down, scized hold of my caput, and, pla- cing a thumb on each of my temporal arteries, pressed them in such way as to almost stop the whole circulation of my blood. He then direct- ed me to heave as long a sigh as I could, and I walked into dinner completely cured. I have seen ladies in this country, whilst suffering un- der such malady, appear with a wafer stuck on cach temple, which, I presume, was only a mil- der way than my friend, the captain, employed of driving off this tormentor.— My Adventures. Pirates near the Straits of Gibraltar.—Capt. Thomas, at Boston from Gibraltar, Jan. 25th, the latest date received in this country, states that several vessels of war, including H. B. M. steamer Ilamer, had sailed in pursuit of some pirates, spoken of in the subjened extract from the Gibraltar Chronicle of Jan. 22d :— “ We have been favored with an extract from a Cadiz letter of Jan. 20th, which states that a Spanish brig had just re-entered that port, from which she sailed a few days previously for La- guayra ; the captain of which reports having fal- len in with, off Cape St. Vincent, three piratical vessels, a bark, brig and schooner, which. the brig, he was chased some days, but succeeded in effecting his escape.” THOSE OLD DEBTs.

It may be added, in conclusion, that England still protects her manufactures jealously and carefully, and the late repeal of duties on the imported raw material wil! act as a further pro- tection of them: whilst there is scarcely an ar- ticle relieved from duties by Sir Ropert PEEt’s bold financial measure which can in any way interfere with the interests or diminish the pro- tection of manufacturing labor and skill of any description whatever. What the British Government finds necessa. ry to be done in this respect in England, we hold to be at least as necessary to be done in the United States ; but we need not repeat our this subject. The question undoubtedly arises, and it is de- serving consideration, how far can we, with pro- of the British Minister by repealing or lower- ing our iniport duties upon raw produce and ma. terials? It must, however, be borne in mind that what may be applicable and advantageous to a population like that of Engla:.d may prove highly prejudicial and injurious to the very dif. ferently circumstanced people of the U.

This is altogether ideal, fabulous, and untrue, if it is meant indiscriminate free trade. England studies her own interest just about as well as any nation on the face of the earth. If she, by removing the tariff on those articles which she cannot produce at home, (and it is only on such,) and bypiling it up on those articles which she can produce within herself, thereby serves her own interest, can it be said she is pursuing that liberal policy of Free Trade, often expressed and well understood opinion on | priety and advantage, reciprocate the measures | he swore he would kill her, at the same time raising himself up, as if to get on his feet, and a she raised up she said she struck | the blow must have been given when the | head was on the floor, thus proving more untruth on her part. The variations in her evidence are singular and excited much speculation. They are the effect of a disturbed and excited state of mind, pro- duced either by fright, or an over anxiety possibly to excuse the real murderer, if she did not commit the deed herself. She further stated that having commit- ted the act, the sight made her sick, and to avoid fainting she threw a part of the quilt over the corpse, and went to bed, first, however, telling her younger sister that she had killed her daddy; and ‘the child immediately started up and went and lay in her dead father’s arms all night ! | The murderess slept !

Zabriskie, a New Jersey Tyler man, called.apon Mr. Tyler and requested of him, for a triend, a contract to furnish timber .forsthe Navy. The friend was Mr. Voorhees, chief of the Burcau of Construction and repairs, and, as an officer of the Government, legally incapable of holding or derivingany ben- efit from a public contract. Mr. Tyler | refered Mr. Zabriskie to Com. Warrington, acting Secretary of the Navy, to ascertain whether the timber was wanted.—Com. W. told Zabriskie that it was not wanted. | Mr. Tyler forthwith issued an order to ‘let ° J. C. Zabriskie have the contract.’ Zab- ght with danger.— | riskie took the order to Mr. Voorhees and | assigned it over to Wm. C. N. Swift, who | was not present.

Voorhees was |killed by the Princeton explosion, and | Com.

State pride would make us wish tosee our dwn towns built up by the resources of our State ; but from our loca- tion it seems as if nature intended Charles- ton to be the great outlet of the surplus that ean be sent from this and the western por- tion of the State and portions of Tennes- seeas wellas Virginia. And because our own State cannot be benefitted should we | neglect to avail ourselves of any favora- | ble opportunity to try and better our con.- | dition. Certainly not. Then, we cannot too strongly urge upon the citizens of Mecklenburg and of all Western North » Carolina, the importance of the scheme »and the deep interest they have at stake ) sat the final accomplishment of the under- © taking. What would be the benefits like- “iy to accrue to this part of our State from itssuecess? In the first place it would enhance the value of real estate in a di- rect ratio with its distance from the termi- nos. It would be the means of creating adenser population.

Having obiained a very steady and skilful work- man from a celebrated Watch making Establishment in Philadelphia, he feels no hesitation in saying that he will be able to give entire satisfaction to al] those who may fa- vor him with their work.

WETSERN ORATORY They have some very tall orators out West, as the f@llowing extraract from an oration will sufficiently show. It was de- livered on the 4th of July, at Lancaster, Wisconsin Territory. The speaker, after stating that Europe was no whar: that she was a more obsolete idea in compar- ison to us, proceeded in this fashion : If young America, then in the cradle, strangled the British Lion, and afterward | bucked John Bull in the briny Gulf of Mex- ico, with what ease can our country, now in the giant of manhood, plant its flag, on the shores of the Pacific, sieze Quebec and | were obliged to leave the church. sure does eee he kiows some Whig boys who will be glad to help to get him out. “Peelisa rade’boy. You ought not to do the same’as he does. Lord Brovenam, who is never left off, comes in for his place in the political spell- ing book. A special lesson 1s also com- piled for Sir James Grasam : Lessonin Words of One and Two Syllables. Mas-ter Har-ry Brough-am was ve-ry fond of throw-ing stones and let-ting off squibs, and would not mind his Punch. He would of-ten be ve-ry cru-el to oth-er boys, and he did run af-ter Mas-ter Cam bell for the pur-pose of beat-ing him. He would ask Mas-ter Lynd-hurst to help him to wor-ry poor Mas-ter Camp-bell. But Har-ry Brough-am was a cle-ver boy, though he was al-ways in dis-grace for his tricks. He would try ve-ry hard to take the place of o-ther bo:'s, but he was so gid- dy he could not keep what he got. He had a quar-rel with Mas-ter Mel-bourne, in which he came off the worst, and he was made to stand up like a dunce on a form, though he said, ve-ry rude-ly, if it had been a bench he would have been quite con-tent, for to get up-on the bench was all he wan-ted. Was not Har-ry Brough-am a ve-ry naugh-ty boy? Lesson IV. Lit-tle James Gra-ham was a sly fel- low. He would pre-tend to mind his let- ters, but he would be all the while look- ing o-ver the let-ters that did not be-long tohim. One day he was caught out and was well whip-ped. This serv-ed him right, and if he does the same thing a-gain we will help to whip him as he de-serves. A Singular Scene—A few Sundays since, at the 9th st. church, in Cincinnati, the minister not having arrived early in the desk, a huge dog run up the aisle, as- cended the pulpit and put his paws on the Bible. The expressions of his counten- ance and the movement of his tail were so ludicrous, that most of the congregation The minister shortly after arrived, and discov- ering the marks of a dog’s paws upon t Gibraltar. blockade the English Channel, Gorrespondence of the Baltimore Patriot. | Wasuincton, March 21, 1845. | _ I must tell you a little amusing incident about the present of a “horse” to Presi- dent Polk, and by him politely rejected, which you may have seen alluded to in | somé of the newspapers. | It appears “Tom Lloyd,” or of your good Port of Baltimore is prop- | erly and familiarly called—for he is a jo- | Vial, good-natured son of the Emerald Isle, | who has honorably risen in the world from | ro a dealer in oysters in Washington, to the | ; Surveyorship of the Port in Baltimore— | ; poe 9 Be intg his patriotic and disinterested 4 Seed ioe new Messident would ia e rhe ta: be presented with a fine an é. valuable horse.

This was jt into Maguire’s hand—it was. So the “Tom” and “Pat” repaired to the White House—the “present” was made, ‘sO was Maguire's speech!

First came the war of the rev- | olution. The Colonies cut their way out of it, through blood and carnage and thun- | der. They tore their blanket wide oping. | Oost or twist it looked like a mighty slim | chance: but they cut and scared and tore | and slathered away like blazes. (Cheer- | ing.)

The gentle olive branch | of peace waved her green and luxuriant foliage in majesty over the shores of Co- lumbia; and foreigners flocked in and built their nests with us among its shelt- ered boughs. But a few more years had rolled away down the railroad track of fime, when John Bull again come bellow- ing up the Mississippi, pawing up on his back the rich and luxuriant szle of Loui- | sianng,,and horning the bank of sayed riv- er and lashing his tail like fury. But just | below New Orleans he found the great | Jackson, and he could shake him no more | than an oxen, he couldn’t shure.

Seduction and its Consequences.—A few ys ago, a good looking, well dressed wo- man, was brought before the Police Ma- gistrate to answer toa charge of petty lar- ceny. During the investigation it was dis covered that she was the wife of a shoe merchant in Kensington, Canada, and had eloped with one of her husband’s work- men, carrying with her £75 of his money. he fugitives came tu this place, where they have resided most of the winter. So long as the stolen money lasted, they got along well enough. But when the funds were exhausted the brutal seducer com- pelled his victim to prostitute herself for gain, and failed not to beat her, inthe most shameful manner, when she refused or when she did not receive what he deemed an adequate reward for her iniquity, Du- ring a fit of intoxication, she stole a pair of shoes, and was committed. The Ma. gistrate committed the seducer also, but there is no Jaw to punish him as he de- serves. A Valuable Book.—We understand, says the Journal of Commerce, that a wealthy gentleman called upon Bishop Onderdonk on Friday, and on taking leave, made him the present of a book. On taking off the wrapper, and opening the title page, there was a hundred dollar bank note ; on turn- ing over a leaf there was another; a third leaf and there was a third bill; over the fourth leaf and a fourth bill, and over the fifth leaf a fifth bill, until it seemed as though the book was a volume of hundred dollar bills, Large Hog.—Capt. Enoch Merrill of Andover, on the 17th inst., slaughtered a hog, hardly twenty-two months old, weigh- ing, after it was dressed, 866 |bs.! The largest hog, to our knowledge, ever slaugh- tered in New Hampshire.—Concord, (N. H.) Courter. Just about one hundred Ibs. heavier than the big hog slaughtered in Davie county, last Winter. Can’t Davie raise a hog to weigh a thousand or fifteen hundred Ibs. ? Conduct of a Senator.—The New York Ex- press has the following paragraph respecting a Senator in Congress from New York, who was elected early in the session of the New York Legislature to fillan unexpired term, ending the 4th inst., and who was at a later period e- —— for the six years term, beginning on the | 4th; _ “Mr. D.

We have rarely met with any thing so beautiful as the following from the Lowell Offering. We commend it to the notice of the youthful and beauteous beings, for whose especial perusal it is more particularly designed. It will afford food for profound reflection— Tue Wastep Fiowers.—On the velvet bank of a riv- ulet sat a rosy child. Her lap was filled with flowers and a garland of rose buds was twined around her neck — Her face was radient as the sun-shine that fell upon it ; and her voice was clear as the bird which warbled at her side. The little stream went singing on,and with every gush of its music the child lifted a flower in its dimpled hand, and with a merry laugh threw it upon its surface. In her glee she forgot that her treasures were growing leas, and with the swift motion of childhood, she flung them to the sparkling tide, until every bud and blossom had disappeared. Then seeing her loss she sprang to her feet, and bursting into tears, called aloud to the stream— “ Bring back my flowers!” But the stream danced a- long, regardless of her tears ; and as it bore the bloom- ing burden away, her words came back in a tanuting echo, along its reedy margin. And, long after, amid the wailing of the breezes and the fitful bursts of childish grief, was heard the fruitless cry—‘ Bring back my flowers !” Merry maiden ! who art idly wasting the precious mo- ments so bountifully bestowed upon thee,—see in the thoughtless, impulsive child, an emblem of thyself. Each moment is a perfumed flower. Let its fragrance be dis- pensed in blessings on all around thee, and ascend as sweet incense to its beneficent (river. Else, when thou hast carelessly flung them trom thee, seest them receding on the swift waters of time, thou wilt cry, with the weeping child—* Bring me back my ” And the only answer will be an echo from rs t—“ Bring me back my flowers! oop Apvice.—Girls, beware of transient young men —never suffer the addresses of.a stranger ; recollect one good steady farmer's boy or industrious mechanic is worth more than all the floating trash in the world ; the allure- ments of a human dandy4jack with a gold chain about his neck, a walking stick in his paw, some honest tailor’s coat on his back, and a brainless though fancy skull ; can never make up for the loss of a kind father’s home—a good mother’s counsel, and the society of brother and sister—their affection lasts, while that of such a young is lost at the wane of the honey moon. ’Tis true. he bible betrayed so much astonishment fp, Youna Men.—Be cautious of that young lady who | that the congregation again laughed. s from the wash tub to change dress at your approach —you will want a long purse to support her. Also, be- ware of her, with half a dozen rings on her fingers, and who sits in Church with her glove off, that all she has of any value about her, may be seen to advantage ; she will, if you wed her, soon get the r1NG of poverty in your nose. A Dronxarp’s Evoquence.—A drunkard was lately taken before a justice in Baltimore, and committed to the almshouse. As he was about being lifted from the floor to be taken to the carriage to convey him, a bystander remarked that he was in a fit condition to describe the horrors of intemperance. At this, the inebriate started, and with difficulty gaining his feet, looked the gentleman in his face, and said in the most eloquent manner :—“ To describe the horrors of intemperance, sir, would take a pen of iron dipped in the burning lava of hell.” Couriovs.—It is stated in the Pennsylvania Inquirer, that an old oak tree was recently cut down near Harris- burg, which upon counting the grains, was found to be nearly four hundred years old : and what is very curious, there were found perfectly embedded in the timber, at a height of 30 feet from the ground, a well shaped stone mortar and pestle, together with a stone instrument re- sembling an axe. They had evidently been placed in grown over them. Tue Force or Hasit.—A laughable story is told of a miser, who, being at the point of death, resolved to give all his money to a nephew, at whose hands he had ex- perienced some little kindness. ‘ Sam,” said he,—for that was his nephew's name—-“ Sam, I am about to leave the world, and to give you all my money. You will then have $50,000, only think! Yes, I feel weaker and weaker ; I think I shall die in two or three hours. Oh, yes, Sam, I am going—give me two per cent. and you may have the money now.” Snootine Sincine Birps.—No man with a soul so large as a flea’s gizzard could possibly be so mean, so cruel, so cowardly, as to go round popping at little birds in the briars and bushes, wing-breaking sparrows and maiming chickadees ; and yet there are things in human shape just base enough to do it. 7 Hogsheads PRIME MOLASSES, 10 bbls.

The sailing packet Zebra, Captain Laurines, from | Jersey, commenced discharging her cargo | on Saturday, the 14th instant, at the legal | quay, Sutton-wharf, Plymouth. Among) other goods on her manifest were 13 casks, said to contain pitch. This article is not | frequently brought from the islands, and | as the casks weighed only 34 cwt., instead of the usual average, 4 cwt. to 4} ewt., the suspicions of the officers of customs were naturally excited. They, however, very prudently deferred seizing the sus- imselfat the custom-house. In due course , _ Mr. Christopher John Arrowsmith, the on-— ly passenger by the Zebra, came to clear the casks, and he was soon handed over to the civil authorities. On examining the casks, they were each found to contain a Jo small quantity of pitch, surrounding what appeared to be a number of bricks, but these on inspection proved to be tin cases, | eovered with coarse red paint, mixed with house on Satur fine gravel or sand. Each case had from borne said— 3{lb. to 341b. of unmanufactured tobacco, | closely wedged within it ; indeed, so close- ly, that it took six or seven men all of one day to examine the contents of 11 casks. The 13 casks, each having about 41 cases, | containing 134lb., will probably produce | 14 or 15 cwt. of tobacco in all. One of the cases has been sent to the Board of | Customs.

But the interests transported him to another, which was which we have at stake on the Gulf are | feeble, and offered a booty to him. An| not one whit more important than those | of the lakes. The lake towns outnumber, many times over, our cities on the Gulf. If no single one of them may vie in com- mercial importance and wealth with New Orleans, yet there is Oswego and Genes- see, Buffalo, Cleveland, and Erie, Sandus- ky, Huron, Toledo, and Detroit, with Mi- chigan City, Saginaw, Chicago, Milwau- kie, and hundreds ofsthriving lake villa- | ges, where national defence is as weak, life as dear, and the integrity of Ameri- can soil as sacred as it is possible for them to be in the two patriotic little Galf towns of Mobile and Pensacola. Great as is the commerce of the Gulf, that of the Lakes is quite equal toit in value. Yet if Eng- land owned Cuba, Key West, and the Tortugas, and held all the Florida reefs ; if she were to exhaust art in fortifying them, and strengthening herself there; if she had'chains stretched across Old Pro- vidence channel and the Narrows of Bim- ini, her ascendency, with all these advan- tages on the Gulf, would not be as com- plete, her means of annoyance would not be as great, nor her powers to injure us as extensive, as they now are on the lakes by reason of her ship canals. Through these she can send her fleets, and pene- trate with them into the very heart of the ‘country ; and it isnot in the power of this Government to make so much as a show of resistance against herso doing. Ifshe ‘held the Florida Pass we could even then dispute with her the command of the Gulf; for, with the advantage of those Western naval improvements which are already on foot, we could put forth on the Gulf that powerful naval strength with which the West is endowed, and which I wish so much to develop. Not soon the Lakes. The only entrance from them to the sea is in the hands of England: she holds it beyond dispute. Her canal locks are stronger than bars and bolts of iron. But there is naval strength in the West suffi- cient to withstand them; yet the ability is wanting on our part to put it forth. ie is locked up, and nothing but a ship canal from the Mississippi can bring it ont.

A writer in the Cincinnati Atlas furnishes some interesting particulars of the vast extent of our Northern Lakes. There is a great curiosity (he says) about thirty miles from Kingston, near the outlet of , bay of Quinte, in Canada. He visited it a few years ago in company with Professor Ly- ELL, of London, who pronounced it one of the greatest curiosities of the kind he ever saw. It is what is called in Scotland “a Tarn,” or mountain lake. It is situated upon a conical hill, about three hundred and fifty feet high, It is circular, about half a mile in diameter, and occupies nearly the whole surface of the hill. The lake is consequently entirely without in- let ; yet a small stream constantly escapes from one edge of it down the side of the hill, turni the wheels of a flouring mill, which has been rebar prea summit. The level of the wa- erin the lake is supposed to be about three hundred and fifty feet above that of the bay be- low.

With regard to the arrival announc- ed by the Hon. member, he begged to say he had no intimation whatever of it ; but he would say, that at present that sugar would not be admissible on the same terms as sugar the produce of the countries, mentioned by the Hon. member. But he would add, that he had no hesitation in saying that sugar, the produce of the U. States, included under the reciprocity treat- ise, would be admitted under the proposed advantages. (Hear.) Mr. Thornley was very glad to hear that announcement from the right Hon. baronet, as a new and very extensive trade in sugar was about to be opened with the countries he had named, to which this al- tered estate of the law would be of great importance. fr. Ewart wished to know whether it was not the fact that slave-grown sugar, admitted at the reduced duty from the U- nited States would undersell the free labor sugar of Mauritius and Java. Sir Robert Peel was understood to say that he was not prepared with an answer. ‘The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot, in his letter of the 1st inst., gives the following items: Great disappointment was experienced, both by the zns and the outs, yesterday, be- cause there was nothing done in the way of removals, to speak of. It is now said that Auditors Hagner and Pleasanton will be removed, and perhaps Auditor Dayton. If they go out, it will be under the salutary rule that all who have been in office eight years are liable to be removed. Mr. Voorhees who, it was incorrectly thought, had been appointed to the law clerkship in the Solicitor of the Treasurer’s office, has consented to take, and appoint to, a clerkship in the Post’ Office Depart- ment—leaving the first-named place to be given to Judge Meek, of Alabama, or Charles S.

Mr. Clay and the Home Missionary Society ASHLAND, 7th March 1845. Dear Sir: Ihave received your favor, trans. mitting a testimonial of my being made a mem- ber for life of the Home Missionary Society, in virtue of a contribution made for that object, by the ladies of the Durand Society at New Haven. I request you to communicate to them my grateful acknowledgments for this distinguished proof of their highly appreciated esteem and re- gard; and to assure them that I share with them a profound sense of the surpassing impor- tance of the Christian Religion, and belieVing, as I sincerely do, in its truth, I hope and trust that their laudable endeavors to promote and advance its cause may be crowned with signal success. I am obliged to you for your account of the operations of the Society. And from their great extent I should suppose that the results of the labors of the Society would fully correspond with the pious and religious motives which prompted its establishment. Iam, with great respect, Your friend and ob’t serv’t, H. CLAY. Cuartes Hatt, Esq., &c., &c., &c. “WHIGGERY’S DOINGS.” The “ annexed” paragraph of our De- mocratic friend of the Fayetteville Caro- linian, is decidedly funny: “ AnNEXATION.— We fear, from the ex- tracts which we see, taken from some of the Texan papers, that the proposition to annex Texas, is not as liberal as Texas had a right to expect; and consequently that the proposition contained in the joint resolution, will not be accepted. It is whiggery’s doings, at all events—the joint resolution being Milton Brown’s plan— concocted, it is now ascertained, for the very purpose of defeating annexation.” « Whiggery’s doings, at all events !"— Father Ritchie would call that editorial tact, we reckon. If the proposition to an- nex Texas should yet succeed, it will be Democracy’s doings !—won’t it brother Carolinian? By the way, how did it hap- pen that the sagacious Democracy, in an overwhelming majority as they were, per- mitted one poor Whig to “ concoct” a plan to defeat their purpose? A shrewd set of fellows—these Democrats! And they are under obligation to the Editor of the Car- olinian, for his compliment to their sense and forecast !—Greensboro’ Patriot. A letter to the Albany Argus, dated at Delhi, Dela- ware county, New York, on Saturday evening, describes a deplorable state of things in that village. The jail is full of imprisoned anti-renters, there being twenty con- fined in all; and the adjacent county is full of armed and disguised rebels, who threaten vengeance upon Delhi. The “ Indians” are terribly exasperated at the recent ar- the suffering patriots there incarcerated. One of the anti-renters from Schohaire county was heard to say on Saturday that the jail would not stand through that night. A company of disguised scoundrels were sé in the north part of Harpersfield during the afternoon, march- ing in the direction of Delhi, news of which had been cent in to the place by a special messenger. The guard had been fired on by the Indians several times, about two miles from the village. The citizens, however, appeared to be prepared for the banditti if they should venture up- them. The New Yorkers, about Albany, are talking of con- structing a Bridge across the Hudson river at that place. The project is strongly opposed by the people of Troy, who apprehend it will injure the shipping on the river.

Another new invention.—We clip the following from the National Intelligencer, where it bears the credit of a “ London paper.” “ We are not at liberty to give the public # more par- ticular account of the nature of this invention than the words of the title of the patent, viz: “The Hydre- - Mechanic Apparatus, which, by a combination of hydreu!- principles, is intended to steam in working and pelli Morse’s Magnetic Telegraph _¥j told that measures are immediately” taken forthe completion of a line ord ton and New Ee ph between: ork, Since the tek bill has failed in Congress, there ié a ¢ termination on the part of some ind laid down between Baltimore York, having: eight wires for. the.’ it is said, may easily be made a one to all the towns and cities. and indeed to those beyond 2 chant from North Carolina, was aceid tally run over by a car at the. 3 es bee pe x sabes gt a Sper eS * isonian, the. re- friend of Mr, Calhoun’s, and we under- stand, in.

Business on Hand.—The Constitution sayst—“The President calls around him his Cabinet at an-early hour in the day, and continues till a late hour in the eve- ning; and not unfrequently calls them to- gether again after dark, and continues in Cabinet session till a late hour of the night. From Mexico.—The New Orleans Trop- ic of the 28th ult.says: By the schooner Atrevida, which arrived here yesterday, from Vera Cruz, our neighbors of the Courier received later advices from Mex- ico. Wedo not observe, however, that the intelligence is worthy of any special attention. The Houses of Congress were to assemble on the 24thult., as a grand inquest, for the trial of Santa Anna. The charges upon which he was to have been tried had been furnished him, and he was busily engaged in preparing an answer. It is stated that letters from Santa An- ta,to his agents, directing them not to surrender any of his funds in their posses- sion, had been intercepted. Ecclesiastical Edict.—By recent ac- counts from Rome, it would seem that the public are engaged in conversing about what is called the great Ecclesiastical scandal. Cardinal Caggiano, Bishop of Sinigaglia, in the legation of Pesaro el Ur- bino, has published an edict, having for its abject the protection of good morals. It is forbidden to all young men to pay visits to families in which are marriageable girls, except with the intention to marry one of them. Ifthe marriage does not take place in three months, counting from the first wsit after the publication of this edict, the young man shall be imprisoned for two months. In case of again erring, he shall beshut up in a convent, and made to per- formexercises of strict devotion. The e- diet excited much discontent, and the Pope immediately wrote, with his own hand, a letter to Cardinal Caggiano, finding fault in strong terms with the measure in ques- Hien, and enjoining its instant revocation.

The Houston Star announces the passage of the Texas resoultions through the United States Congress in terms of high exultation. -It re- marks : probation of the citizens of ‘Texas. They admit Texas into the Union as a State, and allow her people the priv- ilegegof American citizens. We can in justice ask no more. Our Government will doubtless promptly adopt such measures as niay be necessary to consummate this great measure. ‘The people almost with one voice call aloud for prompt and decisive action, and we are confi- dent that the Executive will not be found wanting at this crisis. No mortal power can resist the decree that has gone forth. ‘Texas returns like the lost Joseph to the parental bosom. May the union be perpetual ! Let far directed the lone star of our country through the mur- ky clouds of war, has in mercy determined that it shall heneeforth become the bright and glorious emblem of un- ceasing peace.” “The news (says the same paper) of the passage of the annexation resolutions was hailed with a burst of en- thusiasm by our citizens that has never been exceeded. The news of the victorious battle of San Jacinto scarce- ly excited such general and enthusiastic rejoicing. ‘The sound of the drum and other musical instruments, the roar of cannon, the loud shouts of the multitude resound- of the American Union.” On the other hand, the Teras Register and nexation, and from what we can gather, though probabilities are in favor of the consummation of the measure, it will not be accomplished without a severe struggle. At a meeting ot the citizens of Galveston, the purpose of ascertaining the will of the peo- ple in respect to annexation. It is stated in the Galveston News that General Aris- ta had sent despatches to the Texan Government by way of Corpus Christi. The purport of the despatches supposes that they relate to the Indian tribes, and invite the co-operation of Texas in an expedition against the Camanches, who have recently become extremely trou- blesome to the Mexican settlements on the Rio Grande. In some quarters it is surmised that this invitation of expedition against the Camanches. The New Orleans Bulletin has a private let- ter from Galveston of the 25th ultimo, whic says: morning with despatches for Washington (Brazos) most important for our Government. Captain Elliot, in com- pany with Count Saligny, proceeded with them forth- with.” The same letter quotes rumors which were afloat as to the purport of the despatches, to the effect that Great Britain offers to guaranty the independence of Texas, and to make a loan to the Republic of five millions sterl- ing, at a low rate of interest, for no other consideration than some commercial advantages. Of course, all this is mere conjecture, and, moreover, not very probable. RHODE ISLAND ELECTION. State officers, and for members of Con- gress, took place in Rhode Island on Wed- nesday.

If you see a <spiece of basalt on the beach of the Mediterrane- am, you know that there is no basaltic quarry nearer than between the first and second catar- acts, and when you find a block of granite at Memphis, you know that no granite exists but at _ the first cataract—nearer than the eastern de- |.

BYRON’S RESIDENCE IN GENOA. ‘To-day, accompanied by Mr. Rurande, I have been over the palace Lord Byron occupied when he was in Genoa. Here were gathered for a while Byron, Hunt, Shelley, and the Countess Guiccioli. Count , & Frenchman, has bought the place. I had often met him in socie- ty, and he showed us with great civility the va- rious rooms, together with the improvements he was projecting. When Byron first started for Greece he was driven back to Genoa by a storm, and is said to have expressed sad forebodings as he again wandered over this, his then solitary dwelling. The palace stands on a hill, called the Grand Paradise, from the magnificent view it com- mands. AsI stood in the front corridor, and looked out on the varied yet ever glorious pros- pect, I felt that Byron, with his sensitive nature, must have often been subdued by it, and espe- cially his bold scepticism have stood rebuked in the presence of the majestic Alps that towered on his vision. He wrote the Vision of Judg- ment here, yet I could not but fancy that often at evening, when he rose from his unhallowed task and came out to look on this lovely scene, his troubled spirit must have resolved to aban. don its sinful work. ‘The voice ot God could reach his heart through nature, and tell him to his face that his evil was not good. His Italian teacher has been mine, and I often question him of Byron’s habits and character. firms the assertion of Hunt that Byron was a penurious man, and capable of great littleness. His generous actions were usually done for ef- fect, and if followed out were found to be so managed as not to bring personal loss in the end. Shelly, he says, was a nobler man than either Hunt or Byron. Hunt was cold and repulsive Byron, irritable, and often very unjust—while Shelly was generous and openhearted. He had a copy of the “ Liberal,” which they present- ed to him, and which I looked over with no or- dinary feelings. ‘In visiting Byron in his room, he said that he noticed four books aiways lying on the table.— No matter what others might have been with mained. It struck him they must be peculiar ity to examine them, and found them to be, the Bible, Machiaveli, Shakspeare, and Alfieri’s Tragedies. It immediately struck me that these 4 volumes were a perfect illustration of Byron’s character, Machiaveli, he loved for his contempt of mankind, making them all a flock of sheep, to be led or slaughtered at the will of one haughty man. It harmonized with his own undisguised scorn. ‘The Bible he read and admired for its ver scrupled to appropriate. If, on his great ode ed long ago, of downright plagiarism. Alfieri he loved for his fiery and tempestuous nature, so much like his own. There was also in Al. fieri the same haughty scorn that entered so largely into Byron’s character. He had storm- ed through half of Europe, without deigning to accept a single invitation into society, treating the proudest nobility of England with supreme contempt. He had also the same pas- sion for horses, and the same fierce hatred of control. Shakspeare he admired in common with every man of feeling or intellect. My teacher told me, al seen him walk. How like a spurin the side was that club foot always to him. His appearance on horseback, with his pale face long hair and velvet cap, he said, was very striking. The countess Guiccioli, seldom appeared in public with him, but her brother, usually accompanied him on ley’ his rides.— Head- s Letters. Sale of Pigeons.—An extraordinary sale of pigeons, comprising almost every de- scription of that remarkable bird, took place yesterday, at the auction mart, Bar- tholomew-lane, Bank, under direction of Mr. carl erg Kennington-row. The room in which the sale was effected was well attended by town and country pigeon fan- ciers, and the bidding and competition were sprightly and amusing.

He could raise his own tobacco, yet he pays $3 a pound for “ Richmond scented.” He could raise his own hogs—yet he patron- izes Cincinnati. The consequences are disastrous. Being possessor of one Maple. he fluctuates with the market with that article. He takes the “ Price Current”— he pays postage—he gobbles down the English news like a cormorant. If he sells to-day he’ll lose—therefore he’ll wait for better advices. He is “ mixed up” in cotton, and is a gambler therein. ean- time he wastes money: draws on his fac- tor. He wants cotton goods and clothes for his plantation, that he could make at |home. He orders them and feels ‘ large.’ |The manufacturer, the insurer, the ship- r, the freighter, the draymen, the ware- ousemen, the seller; and finally the com- mission merchant, all have, a finger in the pie of profits, and the proud fooltsh planter pays them all. The year closes, he is “ up to his eye brows” in debt. This is the re- sult of his not ‘ calculating’ nor even gues- sing the difference between farming and planting. One supports a family ; the ‘other supports pride until pride gets a | fall.” | ———— — | Long Haired Men.—In 1649, the Gov- ernor, Deputy Governor, and Magistrates 'of New Hampshire publised the following agreement or resolution, showing their horror of the sinful practice of wearing long \hair. Could those good men become | members of a modern Common Council, we presume an ordinance similar to the 'dog law would be passed forthwith, to | curtail the lengths to which our young /men seem disposed in this particular: | For as much asthe wearing of long | hair, after the manner of ruffians and bar- barous Indians, has begun to invade New England, contrary to the code of God’s word, which says it is a shame for man to wear long hair, as also the commend- | able costume generally of all the godly | of our nation until within this few years : | We, the magistrates, who have subscribed this paper, (for the showing of our inno- cency in this behalf,) do declare and man- ifest our dislike and detestation against the wearing of such long hair, as against |a@ thing uncivil and unmanly, whereby 'men do deform themselves and offend so- | ber and modest men, and do corrupt man- ners. We do, therefore, earnestly entreat | all the elders of this judiciary (as often as | they shall see cause) to manifest their zeal against it in their public administrations, and to take care that the members of their | respective churches be not defiled there- | with, that so such as prove obstinate and _ will not reform themselves may have God | and man to witness agairft them.” ! | | | Indian Outrage.—Capture of two Mexican | Girls.—The N. O. Picayune states that the Camanche Indians are making dreadful inroads on the Mexican towns bordering the Indian country. Thousands and thousands of horses and cattle have been driven off, women and | children have been led into captivity, and ran. | /chos and haciendas innumerable have been | made desolate; nor is there force enough to | make headway against and rid the country suc- cessfully ofthe invaders. When repulsed in one | place they appear in another, and commence | anew their depredations and atrocities. To show the daring of the Indiins, and the extent | to which they go in their maraudings, a party of some two hundred and fifty recently dashed boldly into Cuencame, a town of several thou- sand inhabitants near the southern line of the State of Durango, and carried off a large lot of valuable horses, besides many prisoners—the | panic-stricken inhabitants hardly making a show of resistance. Among the prisoners were two young, pretty, and well informed girls, the daughters of a wealthy Spanish merchant of _that place. The girls were at a small country | seat of their father’s near the edge of the town, were among the first taken, and were carried off by their captors to the north. Their half. frantic parent offered a heavy amount for their ransom or recapture, but all his efforts have been ineffectual up to last aceounts.— Balt.

The oyster has grown up- on the spiders back, and consequent! should be classed as an animal! of the quad. ruped tribe—here .is truly one set of limbs grovelling there mundane course, with two distinct hearts and. bodies, with no evident affinities —The oyster is a fine plump one, and its growth has doubtl been materially. i keep us on the.confines United States but that , it. has. in of t : -tr B das. aor oe nerrons of Lord Howick, whose a erm a debater and keenness as a politician place him the master-spirits of the me ish Senate, has unequivocally given vent to his belief thet the kh skegash might be abolish- ed with advantage to the African and to Eng- land. Walcott’s Improved Machine for Making Shingles.—This invention is so admirable that it would make the old carpenters and builders about the country stare if they could see it. A one horse power (whether by horse, hand, or steam) puts in motion a machine which makes one hundred and twenty revolutions in a minute, and each revolution cuts from a block a perfectly and exactly fashioned shingle ; much more perfectly fashioned, indeed, than can be effected in the old way, for the operation is mathematically regular and precise. Another operation jownts these shingles with the most minute and unvarying accu- racy. To give the reader some idea of this wonderful improvement, let him under- stand that, by the old drawing-knife plan, no hand, however skilful, could turn out in a day much over three hundred shin- gles: by this a one horse power can turn out, and that with much greater perfect- ness, more than forty thousand in one day ! We need say no more. Richmond Whig. From an English paper. Justice AFTER Dinner.—Has it ever chanced to the reader to attend the Old Bailey evening sessions? We mean at that genial time, when the digestion of justice and the trial of a pickpocket may be going on at the same time ; when Justice, to engage her contemplation, has a dinner on the one hand and a sinner on the other?

The | dinner over, how very often doeg a different Justice sit upon the bench! We have seen her with a roseate tinge upon her cheek ; a look of fulness ; in fact, altogether | another sort of justice to the pallid, nun-like maid that | summed up in the forenoon. Doubtless, it was some be- | lief that morn and evening justice was not one and the | same-high quality, that, a few days since, caused the | question to be mooted in the Court of Aldermen wheth- er the Old Bailey after-dinner sittings should not be al- together abolished.

Besides, as we have said, Jus- tice is so alert after dinner! We have known some half dozen prisoners, whose cases, in an early part of the day, might have pestered the court for some hours—we have known them all arraigned, tried, and sentenced, ay, in comparatively as few minutes!

The personage who | earliest arrested my notice, was the most boyish looking of them all. His person, though scarce the average height, was stout and moulded with remarkable sym- | metry—his hands and feet were woman- ishly delicate, while the Grecian features fallen upon, it was some time before | got to sleep. It seemed to me that it had last- | thampiag at the door of the hostelry awa- | kened me. It was a messenger from the merchant, post haste, announcing to Tan- /ey that the body had made his escape! We rose hastility, and found thatthe day | was just breaking. The messenger said that the negro was off, ang had taken with | him a quantity of valuable property ; that | his chains were left upon the hearth, the | back door was open, a splendid horse, the | very finest in the town, was gone, and a | fine silver-mounted saddle with it; that the picket fence of the back yard, which was set with very heavy posts, and they very deep inthe ground, had been torn up to afford him a passage ; that he had taken, in addition to the horse and saddle. | Several costly “ serapes,” a brace of pistols. and a rifle, and was gone, evidently and | beyond a doubt, for the Rio Grande. This news created no little confusiof, and the Rangers were forthwith astir. Taney and myself hurried to the house of the | merchant, to ascertain for ourselves, if these statements could possibly be true. Whatever had been the causeless and pet- | ulent prejudices | had indulged in toward | this boy on the night before for his stupid looks, they gave way now to almost the | opposite extreme of admiration for the | cunning and resolute skill he had display- ed in the manner of his escape! It ap- | peared that he must have had his chains | tiled for some time before, in effecting | which we ascertained he had been assist- | ed by a Mexican blacksmith, whose shop , bordered upon the back yard, the liberty of which he had enjoyed. But the pradent daring of his measures | had been so consumate as to elicit ex- | pressions of astonishment from every body. | He had managed to conceal the tact of | his chains being filed from the vigilance of the merchant, and had patiently waited his time tjll the arrival of his master, who | would take him in charge the next morn- ‘ing, rendered it necessary that decisive steps should be taken. Ile had then—af- | | | | | | | { | | | | square, when pistol shooting became the | your horse and Littell full tilt up the street.” ing we were all collected, grouped in the sunshine, in front of “ Johnson’s,” on the accidental topic, growing out of the in- spection of my beautiful rifle-barrels. Hays was said to be a wonderful shot, and gave us proof that the report did jus- tice to his skill. He held one of my pis- tols in his hand, when observed a chick- en-cock same thirty paces off in the square, which was just straightening its neck to crow. “Boys, I'll cut that saucy fellow short,” he observed as he levelled and fired quickly at it; and, sure enough, the half e- nounced clarion-note of Chanticleer wag lost in the explosion, and fluttered over dead with a ball through its head. Our exclamations of astonishment ‘and admi- ration were interrupted by the voice of one of the party, “Hays! yonder comes “ Yes,” observed another, “he rides very stiff. He looks like a dead man.” At that moment the panting animal, dashed up among us, and stopped by the side of his master. Never, in my life did I look upon a more terrible object than this rider. With both hands elapsed convulsively a- round the high pummel of the Mexican saddle, his eyes closed, his face ashy and rigid, a clotted tide of gore issuing from his side and streaming down the yellow skirt of bis buckskin hunting-shirt, his reins on the neck of the horse, his gun missing. his whole figure stiffened and e- rect—he looked, indeed, a spectre horse- man! a riding corpse! “ He’s dead!” ex- claimed several, in awed, low voices, as we were recovering from the shock of this singular apparition. “He’s warm yet,” says Hays, as he placed his hand upon his chalky fingers, “let’stake himdown. He may not be dead for all.” We sprang to his assistance, and the body at the first effort fell over heavily into our arms. I shuddered at the cold, earthly weight, and that horrid smell of fresh blood, which once experienced can never be forgotten. We bore him into the bar-room and laid him upon a bench. I observed that his pulse was still faintly beating, and on the the application of strong restoratives, after a harrowing interval of suspense, it began to rise. We now stripped him and ascer- tained that he had received a large mus- ket ball just above the ribs, and tracing the blue line its track had left, half round the body to the opposite side, we were in- duced to hope that it had glanced under the flesh and not penetrated the chest. Gradually his pulse heightened, and the color began to return to his pallid face. “Boys! to horse!

The man on whom he seemed to lavish the most attention, and who, indeed, appear- ed to be regarded with particular defer- ence by all, was a slight, raw-boned figure, with a lean but bold Roman face, and an expression of modest simplicity that struck me at once as peculiar; there was some- The softness of | us. to travel after dark, with a view of , lessening the probabilities of meeting with them.

This was inside the yard, | and enclosed by a high picket fence. By | |a wonderful exertion of strength, he had | | torn up a number of the posts, sufficient _to afford a passage for himself and the, | splendid horse he had selected from a- | /mong a number of others, and reached | ' the street by the back yard. In addition, | | he had provided himself with a valise of | ‘clothing and provision for several days. | | All of these items belonging to the same | _person—a rich trader who had lately ar- | ‘rived from the Rio Grande. The rage | | and astonishment of this individual on wa- | king in the morning and finding himself | minus to such an extent, may be better | conceived than told. After ascertaining | ‘these details for ourselves, by personal | observation, in company, with the restless ‘and excited merchant, we returned to the front door, where, greatly to my astonish- ment, we found Hays and several of his Rangers already collected ;"two of them | mounted on swift horses, and:armed for the pursuit, waiting for us in the street. We were too inexperineed of course to have thought, in our hurry and confusion, of this prompt preparation, and as there was no time to be lost, could not accom- pany them. One of them, I observed, was the “Bravo,” the other was a swarthy complected, handsome looking young fel- low, named-Littelt: He was mounted on’ the horse of: Hays, the most fleet and best trained animal jn the company.

Let’s show ’em the clean thing with our rifles.” In a short time we were mounted and collected before the door of the tavern ready to start, when Johnson came out bareheaded, and told us that the wounded man had so far recovered as to be able to speak. He could only understand of what he feebly attered : “ The Bravo was before me when I got it from a thicket!” This pened, and we set off instantly at full speed. It was evident enough, that either the negro or his Mexican friends had made this murderous attempt from. ambuscade to arrest pursuit, and whether the Bravo had not fallen a positive victim was left in painful uncertainty. It seemed proba- ble that the Mexicans had a hand in it, from the fact that the ball svas too large for the rifle the Boy had taken with him, and apparently had been sent from the wide muzzle of a clamsy Mexican musket. I observed that groups of Mexicans, with their * serapes” folded around “them, were standing at every corner of the streets as we passed through the town.

This argument has had, as we supposed it would have, decisive weight with the British Ministry ; and our raw cotton henceforth goes into concession made not to the arguments of the free trade party, but to the necessities of her own suffering manufacturers. In other words, the repeal of the duty on raw cotton is dictated by the same motives which induce Great Britain to adhere to her Corn Laws—and that motive is the protection of her own interests and the destruction, if possible, ot a formidable ri- val, which has grown up in despite of her immense advantages—her long establish- ed and wealthy establishments, her un- employed capital, her cheap labor, and mature skill—to contend successfully with her fcr the supply of the markets of the world.

Never! Break down our manufactures to-morrow, and what would be the effect ?

Will any say that it is foolishness to hope for health by being cleanly. Will any dare proclaim themselves in favor of general disorder and the violation of all good laws and systems? Such are unworthy to be heard ; they have no property to loose by fire ; they intend never to pay a doc- tor even though they should have his services in sick- ness ; they are better qualified for citizenship with the Algeriens than the people of the “ Old North,” and Salis- bury in particular. In fine, they are those for whom the laws were made. Some of them would plunder, and then run erying through the streets, ‘‘stop the thief! | stop the thief!” The better part of them would be guil- W of the consuminate folly of “ buying a lock after the horse is stolen,” or passing laws after the mischief is done. Nay, Messrs. Editors, the Town Ordindhces are good, @ far as they go, and I am in favor of their enforcement. But I would advert to another subject intimately con- nected with the foregoing, in which all of us, are also, mually interested: I mean the Town Patrol. I have personal experience in relation to it, from which I shall speak. My impression is that it is decidedly deficient, and ought to be modified so as to answer a better purpose, or dolished altogether, and a hired watch substituted, whose duty it shall be to patrol every night and all night. The present system answers almost no good purpose at all: lis efficient for eight or ten hours, only, during a whole week! All evil disposed persons know what hours the Patrol is on duty, and how long they will continue out, ind consequently they know when to sally forth without danger. But the Patrol is rendered a mere form, a shadow, by ‘practice, which is common, of giving negroes per@its, oad and indefinite, to pass and repass for a month at’ ‘tithe, without specifying the place or places to which tis desited they shall go. The bearer of such a per- nit goes wherever he pleases. The Patrol may over- ake him at the hour of 12, at night, where he has no ‘ort of business, and yet, by a practice which has obtain- *d,and Iam astonished’ to find countenanced by some weed men, they must let him pass, unless they are cer- ‘aim he has been doing, or is about to do mischief. ‘This Ssurely wrong, and is clearly contrary to law; and I think ought to be rectified.

From the Pittsburg Gazette of Friday morning, it ap- pears that all the most ancient and closely-built part of the manufacturing and flourishing city of Pittsburgh, in the State of Pennsylvania, has been consumed by fire. The part described as having been destroyed is the south- eastern section of the city, extending to and bordering on the Monongahela river. The fire broke out about twelve o'clock on Thursday, in an old frame shed on the east side of F erry street, us- ed as a smoke house, immediately surrounded on two sides with old frame buildings. The weather was ex- tremely dry, the wind blowing almost a gale from the west. The same paper informs us that “ Twenty Squares are entirely destroyed, and several parts of squares, be- sides all of Pipetown, and all the buildings around Bake- well’s Glassworks, which were also consumed. The loss of property must be immense. We shall not attempt to compute it. The fire spread so rapidly that it was impossible to save property. Among the public buildings destroyed are the Pitts- burg Bank, the Monongahela House, the Merchant’s Hotel, the Mayor's office, known as Philo Hall, and our Pittsburg insurance offices. The Chronicle and Age of- fices were removed. The Presbyterian Advocate and Protestant Unionist of- fices are both destroyed. But it is impossible for us to attempt to give the par- ticulars of the dreadful calamity. Pittsburgh has receiv- ed a dreadful blow, but we trust she will again rise from her ashes. Millions of dollars will not repair the loss experienced. For extent of loss and wide-spread desolation, no fire in this country ever equalled it. T’o-morrow we shall be able to give more particulars.” “The business part of our town very narrowly escaped destruction by fire on Tuesday night last. The fire broke out in the saddler’s shop of Messrs. Hooker & Philips,’ and was fortunate- ly discovered in time to be extinguished before much damage was done.” Fire.—This destructive element we find, from the papers, has been doing a great deal of mischief during the last few weeks, owing in a great measure, no doubt, to the dryness of every thing. Its ravages in the woods in differ. ent parts of the country, we see mentioned as truly awful. In New Jersey, many dwelling houses have been destroyed by fire from the woods: to have gotten into a sort of snarl on the | question—“ Who shall represent us in Congress?” James B. Sheppard, that big bag of wind, has been recommended in a Convention numbering 49, by a majority of 3! His opponents are bitter against him, and we think, with right good reason. They say “he won’t do at all!” THE MAREBTS. | SALISBURY MARKET, April 19.

A valley, not pent hut of easy access—open- _ ing in every direction, through free mountain passes to the large districts of similar in the adjacent counties of Caldwell, Yancey, and Carter in East Tennessee. But a valley, like the whole region around it—though peo- pled by a generous and naturally intelligent race —sorely oppressed with the evils of ignorance upon every subject connected with the true in- destitute of means in itself tu remedy these evils | —to develope its abundant, natura! resources, and to recover and elevate its depressed and suf- fering population. Afier sufficient, personal ac- quaintance with this state of things, aided by the Careful observations of a resident Missionary, | the Bishop of the Diocese bas considered it an | imperative duty to make an immediate effort to | Secure to this needy country, the blessings of | Christian Education in all its more essential branches. ' In doing this, however, it was believed that | another important interest in the State might be _eminently subserved. That the Schools ia our | towns and villages are, from their mere position, | exposed more or less to peculiar temptations to vice, extravagance and insubordination, is a | matter, from painful experience, generally ad. | mitted. This has led to the establishment in the | country of a number of excellent Schools al. ready. An additional one, it was thought, might, in a still more eminent degree, be freed trom the evils complained: of, if situated in a Mountain district, remote from all public haunts, at the same time, uniting in its position, health, cheap- ness, and rural sports and occupations caleula- ted to develope the physical, while they strength. en the mental energies, and thus contribute toa sound and healthy constitution. In connection with this, another no less interesting object has had its influence. The low state of our Agricul- ture, particularly in the Middle and Western por tions of the Diocese, is, on all sides, recognised and deplored ; but with no decided public effort | for a favorable change. Our young men, instead of being educated with a view to this honorable, independent, and salutary pursuit, usually come from our Colleges, impressed with the notion, that no gentleman can, in the true sense of the | term, be a Farmer. A School, therefore, estab- | lished in that of the State, where land and free _labor are cheap, and where every ajvantage is | enjoyed for connecting with such an Institution, | at the least expense Mnd the greatest facility, an | Agricultural Department, seemed in the highest | degree, desirable. The Proprietors, therefore, were willing, un- der what appeared to them a duty of peculiar ur- gency, to undergo some risk in the undertaking. | But they did not hesitate to believe that the peo- ple of North Carolina would sustain them in it ; —that Parents, in the more settled portions of the country, when they contemplated the sub- stantial advantages of the proposed School to |-~ ‘ of this School ca tdaed = ment by the following soni | roe same. matured ly in both distance of not more th: the products are those of the elin York. ‘The climate of this Vai ’ (28, pba Belge 26 5h the tter place espec ‘. be made at these peers : ; Jefferson, a oe fror to take Pupils luggage, d This district of country was_ visited the last Summer by a number Of diamile enjoy in their fullest measure, the benefits: Mountain air and Scenery. ~ Atrang within a short distance of Valle Cruci: templated for the comfortable accomn visitors during the next season.

THE LAST INDIAN.-[Br. Miss, M. A. Les} Upon that distant rocky shore, Where the broad Pacifie’s waters roar, Gazing on that fast roshing tide, There stood a form of might and pride— An Indian Chief, last of his race. Alone he stood in that wild place ; : A nobler form than his, I ween, Ori this fair earth is seld>m seen. And proudly glanced his eagle eye Beneath a forehead broad and high ; A. blanket, striped with many a hae Of crimson, green, and deepest blue, Was loosely o’er his shoulders flung, And from his belt his hatchet hung. ‘The war paint stained his swathy cheek, Roughened by tempest bleak ; Beside him lay his bow unbent. Ah! useless now that Chieftan’s bow, Alone he stands in grief and woe,— And gazing on the golden sun, Whose journey now was nearly done, His anguish into utterance broke, And with raised hand the Indian spoke : “ Yes, glorious orb, sink to thy rest, And hide thee in the Ucean’s breast 5 Then rise to-morrow, fair and bright, And greet the waking earth with light ; And shine again o'er tower and dome That rise where rose the red man’s home ; But never more thy beam shail fall On Indian hunter’s cabin wall. As bright thou shinest as on the day When came the Spaniard’s proud array ; As bright to-day thy beaming smile As when they came from England's Isle, And freely with the Pilgrim band We shared our happy hunting Iand, Until their numbers, weak and few, Into a mighty Nation grew. Then, when the foeman stood confest In‘him we had received as guest, We dug the hatchet from the ground, And in their ears our war-whoops sound, Thou saw’st, O Sun! full many a plain Where white men lay by Indian slain ; And oft the quiet stars looked down On burning house and ruined town. Ah! vainly bent the red man’s bow ; His nation perished sure but slow,— Partly by force, but more by fraud, The pale-face won the forest broad ; And stately towns and cities grew Where erst the wig-wam rose to view, No more o’er lake or river blue Shall warrior guide his light canoe ; No more im forest, far or near, Shall Indian hunter chase the deer ; No more around the council fire , Shall gather youth and grey-haired sire ; No more upon the battle eve Shall painted hands the war-dance weave ; None follow. now the battle trail, And none are left their fate to wail. The red man’s race from earth is gone, And I am left alone, to mourn! Yes, set, bright sun, beyond my sight, For me no more shall beam thy light.” He ceased ;—the sun had gone to rest, Far in the ocean’s western breast ; Brightly its parting rays were cast On him of Indian race the last. His bow within his hand he took, And cast on earth a farewell look, Then plunged into the foaming wave, And died, like Indian warrior, brave. Little Falls, N.

If done in autumn, care should be taken that the plants are not thrown out by frost, especially on heavy soils, This may be prevented by treading the soil closely around the roots before the ground becomes frozen. Such beds will bear some fruit the summer following the transplanting, and wiil furnish an abundant supply the second season. ‘I'he alpines produce well in one year. Soil and Situation.—The best soil for the Strawberry | any soil which is fertile. The situation should be open, and well exposed to light and air. It succeeds very well when planied in single rows as edgings. The alpine ' and wood strawberries may be placed im a more shady situation than the others; it is during hot and dry sea- sons of the year that they are intended chiefly for bear- ing. They are consequently well adapted to edgings for | shrubbery. When the soil is rich, the advantages of em- ploying strawberries for edging is great, as they succeed in such soils much better when in single rows than when crowded together in a bed. General Culture.—A very general error is to plant too near together ; especially if the soil be fertile. Thorough culture is by far the best at the same ‘time that it is ulti- mittely the cheapest method. It is true that.on common tich garden soils a bed may be transpianted which wilil | produce fine fruit and good crops with ligtle care after once prepared ; we have known beds to yield plentifully almost untouched for years, not even having been weed- ed, the thick growth of the strawberry keeping down, in | @ great measure, every thing else. But by the following thorough mode, or one practiced by Keen of Islesworth in Engiund, who first raised the celebrated variety known as Keen’s seediing, the greatest amount of fruit may doubtless be obtained for the care and labor expended, and mixed with decomposed stable manure ; if the sub- soil be somewhat sterile, it should not be thrown to the surface. The ground should be prepared at least a*month | before transplanting “ The best way,” says Keen, “ to obtain new planis, is, by planting out runners in a nurse- it is a very bad plan to supply new plantations with old plants.” varieties may be a little nearer. frequently a foot long.” of the excellence of his mode Of culture. ed between each season. ly, and I recommend to thuse. nsto.

The soil for this mode of culture should be ploughed or trenched deep, ry, for the express purpose, in the previous season ; for The distances of the rows asunder are about two feet, and eighteen inche$ in the row for the large varieties, as. Methven and Keen's seeding; the smaller This distance may seem too great, but it is necessary for sun, air, and cul- ture.» “ Thése large distances,” says Keen, “ I find ne- cessary ; for the trusses of fruit in. my garden ground are This fact is a sufficient proof _* After the beds are planted, I always keep them as clear of weeds as possible, Po om no account allow. any crop.to be plant- ‘the rows. _ Upon the growing of the runners I haye cut when necessary ; this is usually three times it In the autumn TF oalways have the tows dug between ; for I find it refreshes the plants material- it may be 'y,, Some “the = o> > y = It has the appearance of being thrifty and growing place, lis principal exports are The distillation of turpentine em capital. Eight large distilleries are kept tn constant op- eration—one of these using 200 barrels of wurpentine a day. A large still, with ite appurtenances, costs $2000. Into it from 40 to 50 barrels of tarpefitine are.emptied. The process of distillation toes not vary materially from that of rum. The condensing tubis supplied with water from the river; by means of a small wind-mill. The spirit escapes from the .worm in a considerable sluice.— About six hoors are requisit® to run off the contents of a large still. ‘The best tarpentine yields seven gations of spirit to the barrel ; bat the most inferior quality-not more than three gallons. Good turpentine cosis $2 per bar- rel, and the spirit sells readily at 33 cents a gallon, and rozin, which is the portion of the turpentine remaining after the extraction of the spirit, at from 75 cents to $1 per barrel. Eight hundred barrels of tarpentine are dai- ly distilled in W ilmington—about two-thirds of the whole amount brought to this markei—yielding not less than 4000 gallons of spirit. This branch of business is pros- pering. Considerable wealth has been realised by those who first engaged in jt, notwithstanding some severe losses have been sustained by fires. The lumber business is, probably, of greater impor- tance to the place than the turpentine. There are seven, or more, large steam saw-mills constantly employed in cutting plank. The one which [ visited cost $14,000, and employs 20 hands. It has two timber frames, and cuts 15,000 feet of plank daily. The average value of the timber needed to furnish this mill is @100. At -this time the lumber supplied by these mills meets a ready sale. Several vessels were lying in the river, waiting their turn to be loaded. Some five schooners were at the wharf, receiving freight as the lumber was sawed. There was a time, it is believed, when men seeking fame, with inability to come at in any other way, would commit some dreadful crime, and thus become notorious, and draw large concourses to their trial and execution. That age has past ; and all who have any inclination in that way, now a-days, had better.the save the Sheriff the little trouble of building a gallows and-buying a rope ; for the gratification can only be in proportion to the trou- ble caused, and that is small. The day is rapidly ap- proaching, (and in degree now is come,)\when despera- does will be swang off like farmers hang wolves and sheep-killing dogs, which are soon forgotten. There is no chance for a man to live’in the memory of the peo- ple, these times, by dancing on the wind at the end of a rope. Drowning or hanging one’s self is still worse.— Such like have become too common to excite much at- tention, A fellow sacrifices life for fame, but by the time he wakes up in hell he's forgotten on earth. He had bet- ter live hambly and honestly and die peacefully. A Venerable Woman.—There died at Spring- ton Forge, in West Murlborough township, Ches- ter county, (Pa.) on the 24th ultimo, Mrs. Es- THER ‘TowNsey, at the remarkable age of 103 years and 11 months. She was born in 1741, inore than a century ago; since which time hundreds of millions have descended to the grave. She survived through several genera- tions, and at the time of her death her daugh- ter’s family, in which she resided, was compos- ed of the old lady, her daughter, her grand- daughter, her great-grand-daughter, and her great-great-grand-daughter ; a regular descent of five generations. These were the only per- sons constituting the household—five persons, each representing a generation! The age of her daughter is seventy years, and of ber great- great.grand-daughter about three years. Mrs. Townstey was born in [reland ; her memory of the events of her early iife was unimpaired. Village Record. Discovery of Lithographic Stone in Canada. Mr. Logan, the Geologist, at present employ- ed in a geological survey in Canada, has made a discovery (says the Montreal Gazette) which promises to be of great importance. He has found near Lake Simcoe great beds of Jitho- graphic stone, namely, that used in the Jitho- graphic art for taking the drawings and produ. cing the impressions on paper. So large is this bed, that Mr. Logan has explored it for six- ty or seventy miles! Hitherto, Germany has been the sole source from which the world has been supplied with this valuable article. Infernal. Machine at Boulogne.—The last masked ball at Boulogne had very nearly terminated in a scene of horror.— The day before it was to take place it was discovered that the floor had been taken up, and a large box of powder inserted beneath. and so covered with chemical matches that the movement of the floor would cause the explosion. Accent alone made the discovery. The object, no doubt, was the pillage, which, immediately made, would have been considerable. Like the theatres of Itality, the private boxes of this theatre are turned into so many pri- vate saloons for supper. during the balls, dressed with the utmost expensiveness. A Thrilling Scene—In Frankfort, on the hanks of the Penobscot, in Maine. a gentleman lost bis wife by death. Three days after her interment be had some bu- sjness with a young physician of that town.

Drilling Mexican Soldiers.—A corres- pondent of the New Orleans Tropic,, wri- ting from Vera Cruz, thus speaks -of the mode of drilling raw recruits, as practised in Mexico: “J witnessed to-day in the Plaza the drilling of a company of soldiers ; they were, indeed, not of the most soldiery de- scription, but they were all clad, their ac- coutrements were correct and cleanly.— They amoonted to several tiundred, and never shall I forget the brutality with which their discipline was attached. The drill sergeant appeared to be the most hard-hearted exactor of the exactest mi- nutiw connected with the business that can well be imagined. He was armed with a cane about five feet in length, and seemed to consider that it wassolely grown to be applied to the unholy purpose of flogging his fellow creatures ; be marched through the ranks, scrutinized every sol- dier, With most malignant diligence, and if any one’s musket was not found to be in an orthodox position, down came the cane with the vehemence with which brute force and brutality could inflict it. And then I saw kicking of the shins because the legs and feet were not in right order; I turned away from the disgusting specta- cle, which I understood is repeated daily.” From the North State Whig. FARMER'S SONG. In summer days [ till the ground, And work and toil to get my bread ; No interval can then be found Between my labor and the bed ; My wife declines to knit at night, And I to read by candle light. But when the South receives the sun Beyond the equinoctial line, When all my summer's work is done, Substantial pleasures then are mine ; My wife begins to knit at night And I to read by candle light. I’m then content and never sigh, Nor fly from home some bliss to find ; My wife is pleased as well as I ; It so completely feasts her mind To sit her down and knit at night, And hear me read by candle light. For when I read she always hears, And what she hears she tries to scan ; When aayht to her obscure appears, Then | explain it if I can. Oh, how she loves to knit at night, And hear me read at candle light. But when she drops a stitch, and gapes, Soon gapes again and nods her head, I close my book and say, perhaps, “°Tis time, my dear, to go to bed ; So knit again to-morrow night, And I will read by candle aan" FOR (ig) SALE Hogsheads PRIME MOLASSES, 10 bbls.

Such was the portrait of a lady of eigh- teen, daughter of one of the most brilliant | and wealthy families of Europe, who had | been to this degree a victim to scrofula. The surgeon goes on to narrate that he could not, at midnight, when thisinterview took place, stand without almost intolera- ble dread before this frightful apparition, but she at last attempted to speak to him. It was an appealing attempt at utterance. * a She could make no articulation that he could understand, but she pointed with frantic vehemence at his nose. He at last comprehended that she wished a sur- gical supply of this member to her denu- ded face, but he shook head in despair. The scene of abandonment to grief which immediately followed, was, he declares, | wholly indescribable. She threw herself | on the floor in an agony of convulsiva des- pair. | The surgeon departed the next day for | Vienna, and thither the lady followed him. | Another interview, with her and some of her relatives, ended in his giving his at- tention to see what could be done. He) called together a few mechanical artists, and the first results was false palate and set of teeth, which enabled her to chew and articulate distinctly. After a few months more he succeeded in drawing the skin over a frame nose, and finally he has sent her into the world, not beautiful, but at the same time not hideous. She fre- | quents balls and operas without a veil, and by the aid of flowers in her hair and other adornments, passes without attract- ing extraordinary notice in public. It is) said to be one of the greatest triumps ever | attained in the surgical and mechanical | arts.

She has no idea of contending with us there another time by starting even with us to the forest for ships; she’ll send them right from the sea, full armed and equipped for battle. Should she see fit to contend with us a- gain in that quarter, the first thing that we should know of her intentions would be from the lighted matches of her ships, with ports down and tompions out. In this manner she made known her inten- litia, or by blowing up her canals. These canals were. constructed for military pur- poses, and it would be at variance with the character of that Government to sup- pose it capable of military blunder of con- structing such works, and neglecting to provide any means for bolding or defend- ing them. Before you knew she was com- ing, her ships would be upon you. The object and pur s of war are not the fighting of pitched battles in the “ Bay of Fundy,” or elsewhere.. Fighting is the mere incident, the contingent results of war. When the British burnt Washing- ton, they did not come here to fight. They came, as they would go upon the Lakes, to ravage and to waste, to distress, to crip- ple, and to kill. These are the great pur- poses of war—the military end and aim ot these ship canals that lead into the heart of the country. Therefore, to fail to pro- vide for your defences, and talk about pro- tecting your Lake towns and commerce after the cruisers of the enemy have got in among you, by stopping up these ca- nals, taking Montreal, &c., would be like shutting the gates after the wolf had en- tered the fold and been glutted. Montreal is the key to the Canadas; and Great Britain understands its impor- tance too well to let it fall by a mere sum- mons from the “THe militia.” Whether, therefore, we should be able to blow up the canals, and invest Montreal even after the | ships were in possession of the Lakes, would, I hambly submit, depend somewhat on the fortunes of war. But suppose that, by some strange in- fatuation, Great Britain should suffer us to take her canals and her cities without a’ struggle, how would that repair the da- mages by her fleet upon the Lakes? I have no intention to waste ink and paper as to modes of attack. My object is not to show how we may act after we get into trouble, but rather how we may best act to keep out of trouble. Fully impressed with the almost total neglect by the General Government of providing means of national defence on the Lakes, I shall endeavor to show in my next how much has been expended for the general defence in other quarters. What portion of the same you have contributed, and what benefit you have reccived in re- turn. tions upon Copenhagen, at Navarino, and still later in Syria. This is the way in which she has pro- claimed hostilities time and again with al- | most every nation under the sun; nay, but | four years ago this is what she was pre- | acted farce in which it performed so prom- pared and actually stood ready to do in this very quarter. Her official documents show that when the Ashburton treaty commenced here in Washington, there happened to be about Halifax and Jamaica an English fleet of | sixty sail, and nearly one-third of the whole standing army of Great Britain, notwith- standing she was then engaged in two ac- tive wars the other side of the world. In such good earnest did she prepare to at- tack us on the Lakes, that, independent of her local militia, she had assembled and | ready in Canada an army of choice veter- | ans 25,000 strong. That Government understands perfect- ly well where the weak points of the Uni- ted States are; she knows that our most | vulnerable parts are on the Lakes and the | Gulf—at least she has signified as much | by very unequivocal signs, and given us, by the disposition of her forces, plainly to understand how and where she would first have at us. She would not commence the negotiation until she got ready her ” Then. but not till then, did she send over her Minister with his ultimatum. Had that negotiation failed and war been the consequence, it is folly to suppose that the commencement of hostilities would “This most astonishing result has al- | have been announced on hor part, except | high horse so magnanimously with regard msot upset our previous notions of natur- | from the mouth of her cannon; for when | to Brazil, has authorized the English Min- al phylosophy and the governing laws of | she goes in for a fight, it is but a word ister to announce tothe Brazilian Gov- animal organism.

Seeing, therefore, that, without being aware of it, you have been so closely threatened on the Lake, it becomes you seriously to consider what you would do, and what are your means of defence, in case of an actual attack in that quarter. The last report of the Board of Public Works in Canada informs us that, though the Welland Canal is not finished, nor will be for a year to come, yet it can pass ev- ery vessel except three or four now on the Lakes, and as soon as the winter breaks up, three steamers of 1,905 tons will com- mence their regular trips through it. Now, I am told that your merchants have in their Lake marine “ 25 large stea- mers of 500 tons and upwards, 50 brigs and schooners, besides innumerable small craft,” capable of bearing an armament and defending the Lake. But do you not know that there is not, from one end of the Lake to the other, a single piece of ord- nance wherewith to arm them? What, therefore, would these vessels be without guns but trophies for your enemies, and monuments of disgrace to us and our coun- try? As faras any national means of de- fence are concerned, an English force, al- ATTIUG - together insignifice send all these “ ste nt as tostrength, mi Yours, till the canal be dug, HARRY BLUFF, U.S. N. The British Government seems disposed | to relinquish its efforts to play out the ill- |inent a part as universal philanthropist. | It has ceased to contend for the privilege of searching all trading vessels at sea—a task which however troublesome, it was willing to undertake for the sake of sup- pressing the slavetrade. Along with this abandonment, the policy of discriminating against the products of slave labor is vir- tually given up—a policy which never had the semblance of consistency, because no such discrimination was ever made a- gainst cotton. | In accordance with the new direction | now given to her commercial system, Eng- |land has authorized her Minister at the Court of Brazil to enter into treaty with that country without insisting upon cer- tain points which were formerly involved in the stipulations proposed. The conven- ‘tion which existed until lately between | Great Britian and Brazil having expired by limitation of time, the latter Power was | unwilling to renew it upon terms so fa- | vourable to England as were contained | in the defunct treaty. In relation to this | subject the Liverpool Times says: By the accounts from Rio, it appears | that our own Government, after riding the } to negotiate another commercial treaty in | the place of that which was so unwisely allowed to expire. The Brazilian Gov- |ernment has met this announcement by | the appointment of commissioners empow- ered to treat with him ; and as the British Government has itself solicited the renew- al of negotiations, we may venture to hope that it is prepared to accede to rea- sonable terms. The anti-English papers have already set up a loud outcry against ‘the renewal of the negotiations, bat the Government papers answer them firmly, declaring that the Brazilian ministers-are willing to negotiate, but that they are de- termined not to agree to any terms which will compromise either the dignity or the interests of the country. The meaning of this probably is, that they are determined not to allow any interference in their in- ternal affairs under the pretext of suppress- ing slavery, and to insist on something like an equality of duties on.

It may not be generally known that, in the year 1784, North Carolina passed a law ceding the country, which now forms the state of Tennessee, to the United States, provided Congress should accept the cession within two years; the juris- diction to be retained by North Carolina till Congress should take possession. Up- on this, the citizens called a Convention, by which the laws of North Carolina, as far as applicable, were declared to be in force in the territory, and the aid of Con- gress was invoked, for the formation of a new State. Meanwhile, they ordained that the territory should be governed by a Convention, and that this Convention, should send a delegate to Congress. Congress did not accept this cession, and North Carolina repealed her law.— Meantime, however, parties. were formed in Tennessee; and while, on one side, it was wished to return under the jurisdic- tion of North Carolina, on the other side, it was resolved to adhere to the separa- tion. A new Convention was called, and ject of the “ Duties of the North.”” Ji sut | State, and sent a delegate to Congress ; | but it does not appear that any notice was officers out of doors. the territory was declared to be an inde- pendent state, under the name of Frank- land. The Convention announced to N. Carolina the independence of the new taken, by that body, of the proceedings. In 1788, the state of Frankland had two conflicting Courts in its limits. The one acted under the authority of their own state, and the other under that of North Carolina. Each Court claimed, that its decisions were paramount; and in fact, the only one, that had aright to act in the case. A more fruitful source of collision and quarrel cannot be imagined, than such a state. The Sheriff of Frankland, with his posse, in some instances, went into the Court, seized the papers, and turned the The North Carolina party, as soon as it had power, retaliated in the same way. Colonel John Sevier was elected the first Governor of the state of Frankland. The.Governor, soon after his induction into office, met the principal man on the North Carolina side of the question. From the windy and inefficient war of words, it soon proceeded to the more decisive war of blows. The argu- ment was soon settled in the primitive way by the dint of fist. But these leaders of state were separated, before victory declared on either side. Their humbler retainers, as they felt in duty bound, imi- tated the example of their superiors, and lost an eye, or a piece of flesh of less im- portance from some other part of the bo- dy, without being either cooled, or con- vinced. It was obvious, that in such a crisis things must soon come to a more se- rious issue, than a fist-fight, or gouging an eye. The county of Washingtonelected mem- bers to represent them in the Assembly of North Carolina. Col. Tipton, who had fought the Governor of Frankland, was one of these representatives. A paper containing the names of those, who were willing to accept the terms of North Car- olina, and secede from the authority of Frankland, was sent by these members to the Assembly. Taxes, were imposed by the authority of-both Legislatures, and, as may be easily foreseen, the people paid neither, with much speciousness, assign- ing as a reason, that they did not know to which authority they ought to yield their money. This year the Cherokees renewed their attack upon Tennessee. William Cocke, Esq., was delegated to Congress. He made, before that body, an eloquent speech, placing in a strong light the helplessness and misery of their condition, engaged in civil war on the one hand, and assailed by the merciless savages on the other. This time he was heard, and his representa- tions acted upon. A general amnesty was passed, in regard to all who expressed a readiness to yield themselves to the au- thority of North Carolina. It was enacted, too, that the officers, who had held under the state of Frank- land, should be displaced, and their places filled by persons appointed from North Carolina. Many, who held under the new state, had been originally appointed by North Carolina, had been retained in their offices by Frankland. They were consi- dered by Congress in the light of persons, who admitted the authority of the new state. The pacific, and yet decisive mea- sures of Congress seemed at once to re- store things to their former position, be- fore the formation of the state of Frank- land. But under the external appearan- ces of tranquility remained the smothered fire. There still remained a considerable number, staunch for the cause of the fal- len state, and disposed, upon the first fa- vorable appearances, to rear it np again. Governor Sevier offered the services of these men to rgia, in the prospect of an approaching war of that state with the Creeks, .. islature. of that state having delibe upon the ition, returned a very polite answer, expressing gratitude for the kindness of the offer, and promising a return of their services inany valescence not withsta: Legislature of Frankl: time.

The Paris correspondent of the Newark Bali of the count of a Ball given by Mr. King, the American Minister : Last evening (Feb. 24:h) was passed by most of the Americans in Paris in the same manner, as 1. cy have been accus- tomed to spend at home the anniversary of the birth day of Washington. Mr. King, our excellent Minister at the Court of France, opened his house on this occa- sion for the reception of the Americans in Paris, and such others as were interested in the welfare of America. This was the first ball that his health has permitted him to give this winter, and, I think, since his arrival in the country. Unfortunately, the change from the dry and warm atmos- phere of his own State to this constantly damp and cold city, prevents his seeing hospitality would dictate. At this time, | however, the Americans in Paris were collected together for the first time. 1 found several old acquaintances and townsmen, who | imagined to be still at home, where! had leftthem.

Dear Sir :—You ask me what is the tone of feeling prevailing among the Whigs at the itol, in relation to the vital question of | ascendancy in the government of the country at the next Presidential election 7 lam sure you will be highly gratified, when I tell you, that it is A ers warmly in fa- y vor of Justices Jonnw McLean of Ohio, as our candidate for the next Presidency. — In a very extended intercourse with the mul- titudes of Whigs, assembled here from all quar- ters of the Union since the month of November last, I have not met with a single individual whose attention has not been involuntarily drawn*towards Mr. McLean, as the man under whose lead victory would be sure and certain. Whenever his name is mentioned, all doubt and fear vanish at once, and the feeling of cer- tainty of success animates the most desponding. The most ardent triends of the other candi- dates, freely and frankly admit that no man in the country occupies so commanding a politi- cal position as Judge McLean does, nor so deep a hold upon the affections and respect of the people atlarge. They grant without argument, that he can be elected President, and there is no Whig who has not unbounded confidence in the man himself, for his stero integrity of cha- racter, for his steady adherence to good old re- publican principles and measures, and fur his proverbial rectitude of conduct both asa private citizen and in public lite during a long and an | honorable career.—Not only the reflecting of the Whigs have come to this conclusion, but the considerate and more observing of the do- minant party entertain a similar opinion, and it | is no unusual thing to hear the latter arguing that it will be but a short and an easy step for | him, from the highest judicial seat in the land, which he now fills with so much honor to him- self and to his country to the highest executive station among the governments of the earth. But you may depend upon one result, and that is, come what may, happen what will, the Whigs as a party will move in solid body, and be their nominee who he may, they will unite upon him with a determination to elect him if it can be done. In regard to the Vice Presidency our friends hold various and conflicting opinions, but so far as I can judge, I think the scale at present in- clines in favor of the second Madison of the Union, Wiiti1am C. Rives of Virginia. In the meantime, the Whigs have high and important dutics to perform before the question of candidacy for the next Presidency can come up for final decision, but it is gratifying to ob- serve at this early day, with what singular una- nimity Whig opinion has already pointed to a standard bearer in the person of so great and so good aman as Justice McLean. My firm belief is that be will be the open and recog- nized candidate of the party before the close of the present year. If so, every Whig will have | candidate for the Presidency by common con- sent, and without concert, will serve more than any other thing that can happen to rally and strengthen the party, so as to enable us to ac- quit ourselves well in the various State elec- tions during the ensuing four years, and in the end to assure to us a complete and a brilliant victory. COMMENTS. It is rather too soon, having scarcely recov- ered from the fatigue and excitement of the late canvass, to enter upon the arduous labors of another; and we presume it is not expected by the author of the foregoing letter that this is to be the effect of i:s publication. It is perbaps rather thrown out as “a feeler,” to ascertain the beatings of the public pulse, or it may be designed to bring prominently upon the stage a gentleman, once actively engaged in the du- | ties of public life, but who, for many years past, | has been almost withdrawn from observation by the comparatively obscurity even of the highest Judicial station. For one, we do not hesitate to say—and we believe we speak al- | most the unanimous voice of the Whig party— | that, of all men in the Whig ranks, HENRY CLAY is still the man of our choice. It may | be, however, that Mr. Clay will refuse to per- | mit his name again to go before his country- | men—that he will not consent again to subject | himself to the acrimonious denunciations and | infamous slanders, by which his enemies, for | many years past, have sought to crush his proud | spirit and degrade his elevated character. It may be, too, that the infirmities incident to ad- | vanced age, and from which, thus far, he has | been singularly exempt,— Time having touched | with a gentle hand both his mind and body,— | will render him averse to leave the quiet and | repose congenial to his years, and to re-embark | upon the unquiet and agitated sea of political contention. In that event, his friends, although they may be reluctant to go into battle under any other leader, while he of the White Plume survives, and retains all the fire and ardor of his gallant nature, will feel constrained to con- | sult his wishes, and to seek for one worthy to be his successor. Is it not, however, too soon to think of select- ing that successor—particularly in view of the many contingencies which may render that se- lection, three years hence, either unavailing or improper? We certainly sothink. There are many men in the Whig ranks, who have enti- tled themselves, by the ability and firmness they have displayed in sustaining the Whig cause, to honorable mention, and whose cleiins to this high distinction, when the proper period shall arrive to desi our standard-bearer, will be properly canvassed and weighed—and any one whom we shall with pride and pleasure support.—The able and went Clayton of Delnwenness gallant and chivalrous Scott ; the manly intrepid Crittenden ; the pure and bigh-minded Berrien—and many others we f y commanding posenn tee junction with that of our patriotic and gifted Se- Mr. Rives, for the Vioe -Presi Sereda caw his rs.

Mr. Mc- Duffie, last winter took occasion to refer to Mr. McLean’s administration of the Post Office De- partment, in the most complimentary terms— an administration never excelled for the ener- gy and method with which it was conducted, and which, at the same time, rendered the head of the Department, (as Mr. McDuffie well re- marked,) the “idol” of the immense army of contractors and postmasters with whom he was thrown into constant personal and official inter- course. We can have no objection therefore to the nomination of Judge McLean at the pro- per time. Let us, however, have alittle breath- ing-spell—Give us time to turn our attention to some other topics, which, if of less impor- tance, relatively considered, than the election otf a President, are still as necessary to be at- tended to. Two or three years hence will be time enough to commence the discussion of this matter. THE WATCHMAN. Salisbury, N. C., April 26, 1845. We are authorised to announce JAMES E.

Any person having in their possession the third number of the above Work, will please return it to this Office, as we have not yet had the pleasure of reading it ourselves. ‘There is no copy taken in the place, we believe, except the one taken by us. (<> Our readers will seo by the news in an- other column, from Mexico, that things look rather squally. We think it quite probable, our rulers will find that Mexico will not be so easi- ly molified with money, as they supposed, not- withstanding her weakness, and the unsettled state of the country. But it appears nothing short of the abandonment of the annexation of Texas by this Government will satisfy her. As a nation we have nothing to fear from Mexico individually, but she will undoubtedly issue letters of marque and reprisal to all who may be disposed to join her, for the purpose of preying upon our wide extended commerce.— This is the only way she can injure us, unless some other nation stronger than herself, assists her, which is not very probable. But should we be plunged into a war with Mexico, as good citizens (though not approving of the means by which it was brought about,) we go for sustain- ing our country right or wrong! And we doubt not this will be the sentiment of every one, let him be Whig or Democrat. Recent town elections in Ohio shows great Whig gains, compared even with the contest last fall, and give assurance that the Whigs will sweep every thing before them in the next gen- eral election in the State. The annual charter election was held in Newark last Monday. Isaac Baidwin, Whig, was elected Mayor, having received 1,244 votes, against 1,076 for James Miller Democrat. Fourteen of the sixteen Aldermen are Whigs ; last year twelve. An election was held in New Orleans on the 7th instant for mensbers of the City Council.— The contest did not altogether partake of a par- ty character. In the first municipality six Whigs and six Locofoces were chosen, and in the oth- er two municipalities the Whigs have large ma- jorities. The United States schooner Flirt, arrived at Norfolk from Carthegena, which place she left on the 26th ultimo, brings news of the election of Gen. Mosquera, to the Presidency of the Re- public of New Grenada, by a majority of three electoral votes. > There will be reform indeed if the ful- lowing which we copy from the Globe, is car- ried out.

We are confident, that if there was nothing else, to ensure a lib-. eral support, the names above mentioned, would be a sufficient guaranty. When has there ever been such an array of tal- ent to sustain a work of any kind before. The New York Correspondent of the Nat. Intelligencer, under date of the 15th, says :— Rumors of war begin to be current. Letters from Washington were circulated through the city yesterday containing a report that official advices had been received of the hostile inten- tions of Mexico in consequence of the passage of the Texas resolutions by Congress. The ef- fect of these rumors, vague as they are, upon the stock market to-day was quite obvious ; for we feel that they are not improbable, but that our Government has given provocation to Mexi- co for belligerent and retaliatory measures.— The was a decline of 14 per cent in Pennsylvan- ia fives, as well as in Vicksburg and other stocks, The banks are evidently curtailing their dis- counts, and fortifying themselves by specie ac- cumulations. The North River Bank, which is the selected depository of the United States funds, received upwards of half a million of de- posites last week, and has drawn specie for the larger part of it from the other city banks. The receipts at the Custom House from Jan- vary Ist to April lst, the present year, are less by $1,273,390 than they were during the same period of time in 1844. The anniversary of the New York and Brook- lyn Missionary Society was celebrated last eve- ning at the T'abernacie in the presence of a ve- ry numerous audience. The Treasurer’s re- port showed the Society to be in a prosperous condition. The receipts up to the 1st of March amounted to $12,015, all of which, with the ex- ception of about fifty dollars, had been paid over to the Board of Foreign Missions. Mr. Fre- LINGHUYSEN made an eloquent and appropriate address; and Mr. Spautpine expressed his gratification at perceiving that the secular press of the country was giving increased attention to the report of religious proceedings and discours- es. At a meeting of the “Shipwreck Society ” of this city last evening, resolutions were adop- ted reprobating in the severest terms the con- duct of the officers on board the Swallow, to whose lack of seamanlike vigilance and care the terrible disaster was attributed. It was re- commended that a law for the prevention of such acts of inhuman negligence should be 4. pressed upon the attention of the Legislature. A distressing accident was brought to the knowledge of the Coroner yesterday. A young man named ALEXANDER ReEp, said to be a ca- det from West Point, residing in Rivington st., rose from his bed on Sunday night, while in a state of somnambulism, and jemped from the fourth story of the house. He was taken to the City Hospital, where he died this morning.— He recovered his seascs after the accident, and said that he had been engaged the day before in the pursuit of a negro who had committed a theft. In his sleep he dreamed that the negro was chasing him, and, so vivid was the attack of nightmare, that he leaped from his bed out of the window. An inquest is to be held to-day. The brother-in-law of Ex-President Tyuer, Mr. Garprner, has received from Judge Net- son the appointment of Clerk of the U. States Circuit Court in this city. A mischievous story has been set afloat in the newspapers, which is so good that the victim of it himself cannot but laugh when he sees it. It is said that Ex-Mayor Morris, of this city has made so many calls at the White House of late that the President has given him the sobriquet of Morris Multicaulis. Punch could not have said any thing better. New York, April 17, 1845. The report which created such a panic in our stock market on Monday, rclative to the hostile action of the Mexican Government, having been contradicted, confidence has been partial- ly restored, and to-day there was a slight rise in Vicksburg and other stocks. Pennsylvania fives rose two and a half per cent. over yesterday’s quotations, ‘The stock market is in so peculiar. ly sensitive a state at this moment that we may look for great and sudden fluctuations. Pennsylvania.—The bill authorizing the New York and Erie Railroad Company to con- neet their work withthe Pennsylvania improve- ments, was lost in the Pennsylvania Senate on Tuesday, by a vote of 12 to 14. The bill to revive the charter of the Girard Bank was lost in the House—yens 36, nays 39. The Legis- lature adjournd sine die on Wednesday. Chronicle. hee Beside these, we learn verbally, that General James Owen, Naval Officer of the Port of Wil. mington, has been removed, and a’ Mr. Peden, appointed in his stead. ~ - $ The Newbernian states that even the Keep. ers of two Light boats in that part of our coast have been removed, for the crime of being PS eee ico to the 22d, which we from the New Orleans papers as follows: Santa Anna stil] remains a prisoner at Perote, awaiting the action of his Judges. The treatment he received was much mit. igated, and his friends in the different De- partments were gathering strength and courage to a degree that was believed to cause some apprehension to.the existing Government, and to induce the delay and hesitation which are evinced indisposi of him. Indeed, it is not considered im. probable that under the of The British sloop-of-war Eurydice'sail- ed from Vera Cruz ‘on the 29th ultimo for Galveston, with despatches for the British Minister in Texas, and also, it was report. ed, for the Texan Government. A great many rumors prevailed’with regard to the nature of these communications. It was generally credited, however, that they contained a complete recognition on the part of Mexico of the independence of Texas, on the condition that she rejected the proposed annexation to the United States. The Texas question, as may be suppos ed, creates much excitement in Mexico. On the 21st of March the Chamber of of Deputies took into consideration the subject of annexation. Resolutions were introduced, and warmly supported, for de- claring the provisions of the Treaty of 1831 (ratified in 1832) at an end ; for clo- sing the ports of Mexico against all vessels of the United States, and prohibiting the introduction of our manufactures ; and, finally, that no proposition ‘from our Gov- ernment for the restoration of friendly re- lations should be listened to, save upon condition that the United States should renounce altogether the plan of annexa- tion. At the last accounts, the passage of the resolutions through the Senate was known, but their final passage through the House, as amended, was unknown. The press appeared disposed to think that the House would not accept them. There is, of course, much indignation expressed at the idea of annexation, and many harsh things said of thisGovernment. £/ mon- itor Constitucionel, a journal commenced immediately after the last revolution in support of the existing Government, indul- ges in a philippic particularly violent. It is sadly at a loss to know how “a miser- able majority of two votes” in the Senate should be allowed to plunge. the nation into war with so redoubtable a country as Mexico. Nothing, it declares, can pre- vent hostilities ; and it accordingly exhorts all Mexicans to die together, rather than suffer degradation and loss of honor. The whole of the Press is extremely pugna- cious. Senor Gomez Pepraza has been declar- ed minister Plenipotentiary of the Repub- lic to France, to settle with that ki a treaty between the two Pier eM A letter from Ojaca, d the 13th March, states that, on the aft of the 9th instant, a frightful earthg WAS ex- perienced in that city, which dasted but two minutes, anne | nsidert in- jury and destruction. ‘Not a single edifice, public or private, but was overthrown or damaged by the violence of the shock.

We learn also that many vf our citizens who emi- ‘ted to Oregon have fallen down and eritled in Nort California, and that they have foand the’ most ‘delightful climate and a rich soil. They affirm that Oregon is but a bleak, barren waste, compared with California. We refer to these facts to show that it js not at all unreasonable to suppose that California may be in a condition at-a very early day to be annEx- gp to our Union.” abs A more convenient mode of conquest was never devised than the one which has given os Texas, and which promises to secure California. Our settlers go into a Mexican province and take up their a- bode ; others follow them ; they take occa- sion to rise against the local authorities, sure of assistance from their countrymen in the United States; the struggle is for liberty. They prevail, and then they and the country are in a condition to be annex- ed. This is more convenient than a war- like invasion.—Baltimore American. * THE FIRE IN PITTSBURG. The Gazette says that five persons are now ptetty certainly supposed to be lost in the great fre. Samuel Kingston, Esq., and a woman employed as a servant in the family, perished in his house on Second street. A poor woman, of German extraction, perished on Third street.— A matried woman, the mother of two children, named McGowly, perished on ‘Third street, and # man named Johnson is supposed tu have been Jost ‘in Wood street, having been seen in a burn- ing building. There are also reports of the loss of others, which cannot be traced to any relia- ble saree. Such was the intense heat of the fice that it consumed the remains of its unfor- tunate Victims in most instances entirely. The Pittsburg City Regulator states that the burnt district covers fifty acres in the city and six acres out of it. Loss or Prorgerty.—A committee appoint- éd by the Pittsburg Councils, after a full exam- jnation of the burnt district, having minutely visited every part of it, have arrived at the fol- lowing result : 982 buildings burnt, value $1,566,500 Value of personal property burnt, 1,913,450 $3,479,950 This does not include money or personal pro- perty of young men or persons not keeping house, In calculating the vaiue of real estate, the committee have estimated the cash value of the improvements as they were before the fire, and not what it will require to re-build them, which must exceed the above estimate at least twenty-five per cent. (<r The Globe has a hard bit at the Nulli- fers. It charges that Mr. Rhett and his South Carolina friends, at the beginning of the late session of Congress, supported in caucus, Mr. Wilkins of Pa., a decided protective tariff man, for the office of Speaker, against John W. Jones—and that afterwards, when McKay’s bill, modifying the ‘Tariff of 1842, was pending “several of the most prominent Nullifiers” dodg- ed the vote, while others evinced such a palpa- ble indifference to the result of the measure as to dishearten their Northern friends, who, (says the'Globe,) “should not be expected to risk themselves to accomplish, at great hazard, for others, what seemed so little to interest them.” Is this statement true? If so, the Nullifyers certainly have no right to complain of the Ta- riff, which they would not aid in modifying !— They stand on the same footing with their bro- ther “ Democrats,” who, with curses of the Whig Tariff of 1842 constantly on their lips, er to repeal or modify it, either at the session of Congress or the preceding one, notwithstanding they had a majority of about 80 votes! The Globe is now endeavoring to throw the responsibility from the shoulders of its’ Northern friends, who voted with the Whigs, against touching the Tariff, and casting it up- on the Nullifyers, who, either dodged the vote, or did not sufficiently pat their Northern allies onthe back! As the Globe is the pro tem. “organ” of Mr. Polk, it is manifest from this, as well as other not less significant signs, that the Calhounites are first to be read out of church, theft kicked out of office, and then abused.— Well—they are “brave talkers,” and will swear ‘terribly as a Flanders army—but they will bend their necks to the yoke nevertheless ! ynchburg Virginian.

Our readers were informed by our yester- day’s paper that the U. S. ship Vandaha had been infected with the yellow fever at Port au Prince, and that a large number of her crew were sick from it. The Vandalia arrived in Hampton Roads on Wednesday, and it is now our painful task to add, that the disease, since her sailing from Port au Prince on the Ist of April, has been direful in its results. Many of the crew are on the sick list, and nineteen have died! Among the deaths are the following of- ficers : Grorce Mason Hoos, Ist Lieutenant. Lieut. James M. Locxert. Surgeon D. S. Green. Purser Rosert 8. Moore. Joun Overman, Carpenter, (before reported.) Samvet Crow, Sailmaker. The Vandalia has been towed up to the bight of Craney Island, and her sick sent up to the Naval Hospital. There are only about forty or fifty sick, and most of them are out of danger. The sloop of war Fairfield was ordered down yesterday to receive on board the healthy part of the crew, and the ship has been ordered to quarantine, where she will remain untl, in the opinion of the Health officer, she can be safe- ly permitted to come up to the Navy Yard. [ Nor fold Herald. HAYTI. The Kingston papers announce the determi- nation of Herarp, Ex-President of Hayti, who has been for some time sojourning in Jamaica, to return immediately to Port au Prince, with the view of regaining the Chief Mayistracy. Herard has been persuaded to this step by a deputation which recently arrived in Jamaica from Hayti, for the purpose of inducing him to abandon his peaceful privacy for a career of ambition. He is under the impression that he will be made President once more without bloodshed ; but we expect to hear of fresh troub- les when he effects a landing at Port au Prince. [New Orleans Picayune.

THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO. An intelligent correspondent of the New Or- leans Jeffersonian, writing from Vera Cruz, says: “The news of the final action of the Senate on the Texas resolution was received here three days since, and caused much surprise among foreigners and excitement among natives. An express was immediately sent by the Command- ant General of this place to Mexico, communi- cating the intelligence to Government, and con- sequently considerable anxiety is felt here to know what course will be adopted by Congress in the matter. ‘The more I reflect upon the subject the less able do I find myself to give an opinion as to what will be the course pursued by Mexico in this case, One thing is most cer- tain, that she finds herselfinthe most awkward | position that can be imagined. She is not in | a situation to keep her head above water in time of peace, and where is she to get the funds from to support a war? The actual Govern. States, would be placing a terrible engine in the hands of the recently fallen party, to be us- ed against itself in such a manner as to jeopar- dize greatly its existence. It is impossible to say what will be done; but I think that Gov- ernment must declare war to save itself. Ina very few days we shall know something certain, and perhaps even before the sailing of this ves- sel.” The following isan extract of a letter receiv- ed by a gentleman in the city of Baltimore, da- ted “ Vera Cruz, March 29, 1845. “ Congress has been in session on the sub- ject ot the Texan resolutions ever since the news of their passage by the United States Congress was received. A great many propo- sitions have been discussed, such as war, non- intercourse, expulsion of Americans, confisca- tion of American property and vessels. But nothing of the kind has been decreed yet; and when the first impression is over, they will no doubt go more mildly to work, as what can they expect with high-banded measurcs against their powerful neighbors.” From the New Orleans Tropic, April 14. Late and Important from Mexico.—By the arrival last night ot the steamship Alabama from —Our correspondent at Kingston, Jamai- ca, writes us, under date of 25th March, that a Colombian vessel arrived at that place on the 14th of March, bringing a re- port that an U.

The — family Was exceedingly numerous in the village of Arrowford, which is situated about fifteen miles above Alesbury Falls,and was quite wealthy. They had séttled the place principally ; having removed from the Eastern part of Pennsylvania some twenty years before —in number then about a half a dozen families, which had increased and multiplied until almost every respec- table signboard in the place had a name of Sprout on it, and two-thirds of the farms around were called Sprout P soe in consequence of being or having been owned by them... They were a thriving, close dealing and cau- tious set of men, always active and enterprising in mat- ters relating to their own interest—honest, but exceed- “$ngly exact in their dealing with each other, and possess- tabout as much public spirit, generosity, and chari- feeling, as is common to that class of men. In their they had left but one solitary family, and that being poor.and unable to join with the more fortu- r Was of course soon forgotten, so that in the lapse _ @f so many years, it had grown almost wholly out of nee. One of those affairs in which love and interest were ~ #0 intimately connected that the reader would feel little interest in being introduced to the parties, was in pre- paration on e fine summer morning ; when I happened In a few minutes, however, he was ‘all right.’ hion, the learned professions, or at least to the | Blood Beet, White Crookneck Squash, Summer do, Ear- AND to be in the village on business.

From this place, that morning, he had set out on foot for Arrowford, leaving his attendants behind, that he might make a trial of the value his long unvisited rela- thves set upon him, and which he deemed could only be fairly estimated by presenting himself in the garb of his i inal verty. . o Reader, perhaps you may smile at this simple tale. Doubtless, you fancy the Sprouts a set of rascals, but look at home ; how do you esteem a poor relative? If your conscience does not condemn you, neither do I, but set it down as the truth, the Sprouts are not the only people in the world who value rich relations higher than poor ones. GREAT FOOT RACE AT N. ORLEANS. A foot race, which had been advertised for some time, for a purse of five hundred dollars, was run at New Orleans on the 30th instant, between John Gildersleeve of New York, John Archer of New Orleans, Thomas Ellsworth of “| Boston, and an ameteur racer ina mask. The Bee gives the following account of the matter : “Just before the signal was given to start, ‘H. B.’ of U. S. A. (which was ascertained to stand for United States of America) bounded in- to the course from one of the windows under the main stand, dressed in silk shirt and drawers, with his face covered with a mask. “The pedestiiqns having taken their positions in front of thevétend, the word was given, and off they went—the ‘Mask’ in the lead. Af. ter running a short distance, Gildersleeve shot by and took the lead ; Archer second, followed by Ellsworth and the ‘ Mask,’ trailing in the rear. This position was maintained througb- out the first mile, with the exception of the ‘ Mask,’ who suddenly disappeared, after run- ning three-quarters of a mile. Gildersleeve passed the stand about ten yards in advance of Archer, and about thirty yards ahead of Ells- worth. ‘The mile was performed in five minutes and thirty seconds. The second mile Gilder- sleeve passed the stand three hundred yards a- head of Archer, Ellsworth being nearly six hundred yards behind; in 5.30. ‘The third mile was run by Gildersleeve in six minutes. Archer at least a half and Ellsworth three-quar- ters of a mile in the rear. The fourth mile was run by Gildersleeve in six minutes. As he pass- ed the stand he was within ten yards of Ells. worth, who had only completed his third mile. Before he reached him Ellsworth fell from ex- haustion, and was taken into the dressing-room, the stretch onthe sixth mile Gildersleeve had nearly reached Archer, who stopped within 80 the power of the light could not be increased.— We never conceived of a light more brilliant.— Though but the size of a pea, it is sufficient to illuminate quite a large room, and forbids the steady glance of the eye. The blaze of a can- dle twenty feet distant from the apparatus, and three feet from the wall, casts upon the wall a thick shadow—so much more brilliant “is the light” though not one twentieth the candle’s flame. What will be the power of this new light when increased to the size of gas light 7— We cannot conceive. At a distance the light looks unlike other illuminations—throwing out most beautiful rays, which, finely colored spread magnificently from the bright and glowing cen- tre. ‘The inventors say they can make the light of different colors, and even alternately change from one color to another. The apparatus for producing this illumination displays great inge- nuity, and a thorough knowledge of that portion of science which relates to the principles they have so successfully applied. While witnessing that portion of its operations visible to the eye, we perceived a bar which was tolerably heavy and nearly a foot long, and can be made to revolve with swiftness sufficient to fling itself, in spite of all workmanship to the contrary, from its pivots. It will go weeks with undiminished velocity and without assistance, once started, from man. This, we fancy, is an approach to the perpetual motion. Cannot it be applied to locomotives, é&c. 1 The inventors say without doubt it can! Truly this is the age of inventions. They say also, that this latter will in many things supercede steam—the light will supercede many other artificial lights—what next? Once started, the light may be said there- after to be of noexpense. The apparatus will not cost a very greatamount. It may be kept in one part of the city, and the light produced by connecting wires in another part. Or may not affected by dampness, and wires be carried to different rooms and to the streets. What it can do in the way of illumination, remains yet to be discovered; and what it can do, we can partially conceive. The inventors start imme- diately to Great Britain, to secure their patents. This is truly one of the most wonderful inven- tions of the age—even of this age; and we are glad that Cincinnati has been the place of its From the Mormng Courier and Enquirer.

It Re: to be a source of regret to ma- ny of the’ good people of this country, that so many worthy and industrious young men are unable to get employment, by which they might earn an honest liveli- hood. The Mobile Herald states that hundreds of industrious and respecable young men are walking the streets of that city, seeking employment. Many of them offer their services for asalary barely suf- ficient to afford them a scanty subsistence. This is to be lamented, certainly; but to us it seems easily atcounted for—and in our method of solving the problem, there is something that removes much of the poignancy of our regret for the destitute condition of such young persons. The se; cret is this ; these latter days, an invinci- ble repugnance is cherished to the mat- ter of working for a livelihuod. This re- pugnance is re-cherished not only by young men, but almost every parent thinks his son peculiarly adapted to some one of expected to do otherwise, having only his volition to consult, chooses, rather to shine had already raised one hundred and twen- ty-five dollars toward his support. “ From the Indian missions the principal intelligence relates to the triumphant Colonel Juan Esteve presiding, which condemn.- ' death of a daughter of the celebrated Corn old. ~ and Great Britian.

' or 10 order could be preserved by, the of- ficers, the volunteers scattering» about in every direction. hunting for plums, grapes,- and game as might fall in their way.— Few deer.or antelope were seen, and they were so-shy that it was impossible to shoot them; but in place of them évery tortoise and snake, every living and creep- ing thing was seized upon and swallowed by our famishing men with a rapacity that nothing but the direst hunger could in- duce. Occasionally a skunk or polecat would reward some one more fortunate than the rest; but seven out of every ten of us Were compelled to journey on-with- out a morsel of anything to appease our sufferings. One amusing little anecdote I will here relate, to Show, in the first place, the dire- ful straits to which our men were driven, and in the second to give my readers an insight into the trickery of old campaign- ers. We had reached a camping-ground late one evening, where a sufficiency of wood was foutd to kindle good, substan- tial fires, While a knot of us were re-. clining around one-of the fires, specula- ling as to our prospects, a youngster brought in. a spotted-backed land tortoise, alive and kicking, which he had been for- tunate enough to find upon the prairie.— : mouti= | the ¢nd of his:rifle upon the back of the ant to prevent its crawling off, he next asked-an old hunter how to cook his prize. The answer was, that he must open the coals and throw the tortoise in, cover it over, and allow it to remain for at least halfan hour in the fire—a longer time would only serve to make the repast more savoury. No sooner said than done; for in less than a minute the unfortunate tortoise was roasting alive beneath a bushel of coal The countenance of the young man was lit with joy in anticipation of a meal, which. although at any other time it would have been revolting, he now coveted with that longing which starvation only can create. destined to enjoy. The old campaigner, after telling him three or four times that his supper was not cooked, finally found means to withdraw the youngster’s atten- tion from the coals, and then to whip the animal out with his iron ramrod was but the work of a moment. Another moment, and the well-roasted terrapin was safe be- hind the back of the more elderly ranger, and where the youngster could not see it. “Don’t you think he’s nearly done 2?” in- quired the latter, now turning his head and looking wistfully at the fast-expiring bed of coals. “Pretty well cooked by this time—you carn take him out,” retorted the old borber- er, while he quictly watched the first spea- ker aS he eagerly raked open the embers. The movements of the youngster, as he first commenced opening the coals, were slow and decided: by-and-by, as he near- ed the bottom of the mouldering heap. his action grew excited and hurried. The ex- pression of his countenance may be easi- er imagined than described, as, after hav- ing dug to the hard ground itself, he turn- ed to the author of his misfortune, and, in utter ignorance of the trick, exclaimed, “ He’s gone !” “Gone!” slowly repeated the veteran borderér: “ was he alive when you threw him in the fire 2” “ Certainly—why 7” ua Why p “ Yes, thy ?” “Because,” continued the ranger, “you must have thought the terrapin mightily ta or it upon the ground, and placing . alive, when he could easily craw! out and make tracks off!” Gloomily the youngster dragged him- telfto his blanket supperless, while the d trickster quietly wended his way to a Deighboring tire to pick the seanty meat from his ill-got prize, and chuckle at his SUecess in “doing” the green-horn out of Supper. To return to my narrative. Some distance in the morning we hunted in vain in the afternoon: all the old Wheel-marks had Jost themselvesin a bar- 7en, gravelly prairie. That we must-find besage through of over them ore us was censidered certain, bt Where that passage was, no one.couldim- agine.- We were far from being aware fit at the time,. but they proved to be suter and eastern spurs ‘of the Rocky S ettpree As the sun gradually sank ind their lofty and ragged summits, ‘a te chill breeze sprang up from’ their theenborhood. ~ It was the first cold wea- t we had experienced, and in our weak and exhausted condition the: biting» wind “W, .10, Pierce directly throughrus. ~ ’ * tit w > Ww 4 . : . ae Bat it was a meal he was not | watching our operations from the adjoin- | dia-rubber, and the more a piece of it was | | | | | | | | | | } { troubled with the simples if you supposed | © would stay in the tire and be roasted | »road we had found and followed ing prairie ; but at the time we were hun- | and men, for we were obliged todismount taken shelter under the banks, running off as we approached their roost... Altho’ contrary to strict orders, nothing could re- strain our metfrom banging and blazing away atthe turkeys.as they sped across the pone ee rifles and muskets being diseharged at.them before they were out of sight... Two orthree only were killed by the volley and rinning tire which en- sued, and they were but half grown, and soextremely poor that they did not farnish a meal for half a dozen men. To go far- | ther without something to eat was now deemed impossible—the wild and hag- gard expression; the sunken eyes, and sal- low, fleshless faces of the men too plainly showed»that some*means of sustenance must be speedily provided. A horse for-| merly belonging to Howland, which in | the early part of the campaign had been one of the best animals in the command, was now found to be so poor and badly | broken down that it was resolved to shoot | him and divide his flesh among the differ- | ent messes. As they led the once proud and gallant animalto execution, the words | of an old nursery song came fresh to my mind—one that I had neither heard nor | thought of for many, many years. The) burden of the ballad was, “ Poor old horse! he must die !” | and I have only mentioned the circum- | stance to illustrate the well-known eccen- | tricities of memory. A manis often plac. | ed in situations and becomes a witness of | scenes which suddenly awaken and bring | back the long-forgotten associations of his | | childhood. | But to return tothe actual. The horse | was killed, and in less time than it takes | me to tell it his hide was off and his flesh | distributed. flesh of a young mustang is excellent— but that of an old, broken-down horse is quite another affair. It was tough as In- | I have before said that the | masticated the larger it became in the | mouth. Poor as it was, however, and | hard to swallow, I am confident that ma- | ny a man in the party ate four or five pounds of it, half cooked and without salt | —I know that I devoured my share. That I lost somé of the good opinion I entertain- ed of myself while eating this food I will not pretend to deny, and even a buzzard, that sat perched upon a dry limb of a cot- | upon us reproachfully as he saw us ap- | proprigting food that legitimately belong- ed to him. Thftre was something, too, | like honest indignation expressed in the | countenance of a wolf, which sat quietly | gry enough to make q meal even of him | had he fallen into our hands. A man ne- | ver knows what he will eat until driven | by a week’s starvation. | Our tough and most unsavoury meal | over, we spread our blankets in the ra- | vine, where we could be partially protec- | ted from the biting northeast wind; bat | the cutting blasts found their way through | our scanty covering, chilling our weaken- | ed frames to such a degree as almost en- | tirely to prevent sleep. With the ordina- | ry stock of flesh and blood we should have | been far better able to withstand the bit- | ter wind; as it was, we could only shrug and shake, and pass a sleepless night. Weak and unrefreshed, we arose in the morning—breakfastless and desponding, | we mounted our horses, and once more | resumed our gloomy march. Our course | was southwest, and in the direction of what appeared to be a passage through | the mountains; but after travelling some | six or eight miles we found our farther progress cut off by high precipitous as- | cents. To return was our only alterna- | tive, and at noon we again found ourselves | near the point whence we had started in the morning. A consultation was now held as to our | future course. Running directly north was a high chain of mountains, extending as far a8 the eye could reach, and many con- tended that our best course would be to travel along the base of this chain until | with the trail of the St. Louis traders.— est plan would be to attempt crossing di- rectly over the mountains where we then were, laborious as was the prospect. The | latter party prevailed, and the attempt to ‘poss was immediately made. After incredible fatigue to both horses and carry our arms and baggage in our bands, the ascent was finally achieved. Arrived at the summit, a beautiful pros- ct was before us. Below, a peaceful and lovely valley was spread out, through the centre of which the large stream we had left the previous day wound along. Innamerable brooks, taking their rise in the mountains around. meandered through this valley, and finally found their way to the larger stream. ders. were. fringed with small trees ‘and bushes of the deepest green, while the banks of the fixer were skirted with a nar- row belt of timber of larger and more lux- -uriant-growth. The valley was hemmed in on‘all sides by mountains, whose frown- nt , : 1 oy fer i light and buoyant leaps, he wended his | while the report, taken up by a thousand ‘echoes, reverberated from grot and glen, 8 | ton-wood overhead, appeared to look down | from steep hill-side and quiet dell, until | ‘tops, before I could turn from the contem.- | ; c T |that was all. ‘They said that San Miguel was | still some seventy or eighty miles distant, we either found a passage through or met | .arty east and west. ter allowing our poor and foot-sore ani- mals a short rést, we drove them down, an’ in less than an hour found ourselves safe in the valley... It was now: discover- ed that two of our men were missing, un- able, probably, from their own weakness and jaded condition of their horses, to keep up with the main body. We could only hope that they might be able to follow our trail and overtake us at our encampment —it was impossible, so weak and lame were all our horses, to go back in search of them. On reaching the timber of the river hanks we immediately encampeg, and turned our animals loose to graze and rest | themselves after their fatiguing mountain | march. The river was found to abound | with catfish, and as we had several hooks | and lines with us, a sufficient pumber were | caught to give usalla meal. | should per- haps call it afeast: foreven without salt or seasoning of any kind, many of our men | ate pound after pound of the coarse fish | with a relish which a gouty alderman | might covet, but could never enjoy over | the best bowl of turtle soup the ingenuity | of man ever compounded. Sunset in this secluded valley present- ed a scene of almost unrivalled magnifi- cence, as _weJ}l as of mild and heavenly beauty. The tops ofthe surrounding moun- tains, upon which the blue vault of hea- ven seemed to rest, were gilded by the sun’s last most brilliant rays, while the deep-black shadows, as some beam of sun- light would dance around and kiss for the last time a more towering summit, would course hurriedly down the frowning nroun- tain sides, as if to find their homes in the depths below ere darkness assumed her sway. A soothing, an ethereal quiet reign- ed throughout the valley, broken only by the evening hymn of some turtle-dove, vowing anew her constancy to her mate, or by the last bark of the squirrel, as, with way from the river to his nest among the mountain cliffs. By-and-by a brood of wild turkeys, which had been hunting for theirsupper at the base of the rocky steeps, flew over our heads and sought their roost in a large cotton-wood which overhung the river. The sharp crack of a rifle soon announced the doom of one of the flock, lost to the ear in distance. Night had | thrown her sable mantle, alike over the | valley and the recently-gilded mountain- | plation of the lovely scene. Early the next morning, Mr. Hunt, our | guide, set off, in company with Captain | Sutton, in search of a passage through the mountains, which would lead us along the | river banks. They returned in two or three hours with the joyful intelligence that they had discovered an excellent route /in a western direction, one which would extricate us from our present dilemma without much labor. To saddle and mount our horses was a work of but few mo- ments, and then, with hearts much light- ened, we resumed the journey. After crossing the river, and emerging from the timber which lined its banks, we entered a narrow but open valley that had | been concealed from view by a projecting point of one of the mountains. 'T'wo hour's | ride brought us into a road which had ey- | idently been used for carts, as we found | yoke-keys, standards, and other trappings | belonging to a Mexican vehicle, scattered along its sides. On either hand, the frown- ing and rocky sides of mountains rose high | above us, and we now knew and felt that | we were in the Angosturas, or where. the stream has forced its passage through the eastern spur of the Rocky Mountains.— | Well do these mountains deserve their name, for they are nothing but immense heaps of stones, irregularly piled up, while but little vegetation is to be found upon their sides save a few stunted pines and cedars. For three or four miles, after first enterin of rocks, the river on our right, and running The greatest width of . : | the pass through which the stream runs, until | Oihers, again, thought our wisest and saf- | the peeveller leaves the rocky road, cannot be more than half a mile, while the towering fronts of the mountains on either side are so steep that even a goat would find much difficulty in climbing them. On leaving the ledge of rocks the pa’s grows gradually wider, and the road becomes sandy. plainly visible. A little farther on, the foot. prints of men were also seen, and every ap- pearance they had been made but few hours. Not a sign of a human habitation had we dis- covered, either in the beautiful valley where we had spent the previous night or along the road we were now travelling, but that we had at length reached an open highway and were close upon a party of Mexicans was evident enough. With feelings the most joyful we now spurred our animals briskly forward. The cious Their immediate bor- | brutes themselves seemed to know that they were near the end of their long and tiresome journéy, for they pricked up their ears and wil- lingly responded to our call upon them for a faster puee. Gradually the’ Narrows became wider, the road gtew-smoother, and just as the sun was losing itself behind the western moun- tains we came up with the Mexicans, encamp- ed at the mouth of the gorge at which the river nee tee jae ee | {ndians when the murdering party returned, 8 | | the Angosturas, our road was along a solid ledge We had no sooner struck the | ‘ latter than the tracks of mules and asses were the.approach of its termination, when the pilot first placed his foot upon deck, they crowded around and pressed him with idle ‘questioiis in- numeérable : so with us, in coming up with these strangers. Every one among ’us, who could speak a word of Spanish, earnestly showered upon the ragged, swarthy, and half-frightened Mexicans volumes of interrogations, without iving them time to answer one of them, even ad they beén able or willing. The fellows Were just returning, with a small droveyaf bro- ken-dowa mules and donkeys, from a trading trip of some two months’ duration among the tempt to restrain th men, except by main force, W extreme of folly.

They frankly told Ug, as soon as we gave them time to breathe and collect the little scattering sense they had, that | they ‘had seen us easly in the morning, and that such of theit companions as were better moun- | nt had instantly fled, in fear that we might rob them. In answering tothe question as to the state of feeling in New Mexico regarding our approach, | they could give us no infornfation—upon this | point they knew nothing. They had been‘ ab: sent months from the s2ttlements, and were tra- ding with the Cayguas when the unfortunate Hull aud hissparty were killed, although they bad no part or lot in that massacre. They al- so told us that they were in the main camp of the bringing the dead bodies of eleven of their war- riors, among whom was a principal chief. ‘The | ceremonies and performances on the occasion— | the wild dances of the warriors around the scalps | of their victims, with the painful penance of the | Women in token of their grief fur the loss of | the warriors of the tribe—were described by | our new acquaintances with graphic effect.— | The women smote and cut their breasts, and | ran naked through thorns and prickly pear-busb- | es, to show the intensity of their affection. | We next asked the Mexicans the distance to the Palo Duro, or rather to the spot where our main body with the wagons were encamped. They said that a good mule could travel the dis- tance easily in four days. Upon our telling them the route we had taken, and that we had been thirteen days on the road, they expressed the greatest astonishment—said it was wonder- ful that we had been able to cross the immense chasms and mountains at all. if we had taken a course directly west, on start- ing, we should have avoided the deep canons altogether, and had a good, smooth road the whole distanae. In addition, they informed us that Carlos and his companions had passed | them in the morning, completely worn down by hunger and fatigue. By this it would seem that the runaway guide had taken a course too much to the north, and fallen into the same errors | t which had caused us so much trouble. As regards provisions, the Mexicans were almost as badly off as ourselwes, their stock be- : They gave the mess to | which I was attached, however a small quanti- | ing nearly exhausted. ty of barley meal ; just enough for a taste, and but before reaghing it we should fall in with lar, herds of slicep, and also the little village of Anton Chico. At the latter pice we could pro- | cure tortilas and atole ; the former a species of thin cake in universal use throughout Mexico, and the latter a thin mush, made of meal and water or cow’s or coat’s milk, and also a sfand- ing dish of the country. Anything, but more especially any preparation of meal or flour, would have been as welcome to us as manna | | was to the suffering Israelites in the wilder- ness. The next morning, three of the Mexicans were hired to go back to our companions, one of our Mexican servants, Matias, disyuised com- pletely, so that he might not be suspected by any Indians they should meet on the route, ac- companying them. They were provided with the best and least jaded mules we had, and took with them a package of letters to General McLeod. The purport of those letters was, that we had arrived within two or three days’ ride of the settlements, and that the best course | | the command cou!d pursue would be to march immediately, under direction of the guides, to- wards San Miguel. The Mexicang after re- ceiving full instructions from Colonel Cooke | and Doctor Brenham, sct out on their journey across the immense prairie, and, as we afier- ward learned, were leag than four days in going | a distance which had occupied us thirteen! | “Shortly after Matias and his three companions | had left us we resumed our march towards San | Miguel. Not a morsel of food did we have du- | ring the day, and at night we encamped, supper- less, on the banks ofa small creek emptying in- ' tothe Rio Mora. On this stream the Mexicans, } | who had thus far accompanied us, had their pla- | ces of residence. After giving us instructions | for our route towards San Miguel, they lett us oathe ensuing morning for their homes in the mountains. Before we sct out, our commander despatch- ed four of our best-mounted men in advance to make arrangements for provisions, while the rest of us fullowed as fast as our weary animals could travel. As we neared the point where we knew that food could be procured in abund- ance, not only our hunger, but our impatience in- | creased. During the day, I was fortunate enough, | in company with the madcap Fitzgerald, to find half a hat-ful of wild parsley, and this we swal- lowed raw with the greatest avidity. About the middle of the afternoon, one of the four who had been sent forward returned with the joyful intelligence that they had fallen in with a herd of no less than seventeen sheep, and had succeeded purchasing a suf- ficiency for the.whole command, ain we put spurs to our horses, and a ride of half an hour brought us up with the shepherds and their | A charge, and to a fine camping-ground on the Rio Gallinas. Here a scene of feasting ensued which beg- gars description. ‘We had been thirteen days upon the road, with really not provisions enough for three, and now that there was ap abundance our ctarving Meog.atence Ae hems lves ote 7" No. | i al r Oe 4 _ They said that | e | / fF a a. o the remaining stages—he feels an inordinate, unappeasable craving at the stomach, night and day. ‘Fhe mind runs uporr beef, bread, and oth- er substantials ; but, still, iti a great measure, the body retains its strength. Snathe third and fourth days, but especially on the fourth, this inceseant craving gives place'to a sinking and weakness of the stomach, accompanied by nau- sea, The unfortunate sufferer still desires food, but with loss. of strength be loses that eager craving which is felt in the earlier stages.— Should he charice to obtain a morsel or two of food, as was occasionally the case with us, he swallows it with a wolfish avidity ; but five mi- nutes afterward his sufferings are more intense than ever. He feels as if he had swallowed a living lobster, which is clawing and feeding up- on the very foundation of his existence. On the fifth day his cheeks suddenly appear hollow and sunken, his body attenuated, his colour an ashy pale, and his eye wild, glassy, cannibal- ish. The different parts of the system now war with each cther, ‘Phe stomach calls upon the lega to go with it in quest of food: the legs, from the very weakness, refuse. The sixth day brings with it increased suffering, although the pangs of hunger are lost in an overpowering languor and sickness. ‘The head becomes gid- |dy—the ghosts of well-remembered dinners | pass in hideous’ procession through the mind.— The seventh day comes, bringing increased las- situde and farther prostration of strength. The arms hang listlessly, the legs drag heavily.— The desire for food is still lefi, to a degree, but it must be brought, not sought. ‘The mis- erable remnant of life which still hangs to the sufferer is a burden almost too grievous to be borne ; yet his inherent love of existence in- duces a desire still to preserve it, if it can be saved without a tax upon bodily exertion. The mind wanders. At one moment he thinks bis weary limbs cannot sustain him a mile—the next, he is endowed with unnatural strength, | and if there be acertainty of relief before him, dashes bravely and strongly onward, wonder- ing whence proceeds this new and sudden im- vulse. Farther than this my experience runneth not. The reader may think I have drawn a fancy sketch—that I have coloured the picture too highly: now, while I sincerely trust he may never be in a situation to test its truth from ac- tual experience, I would in all sober serious- | ness say to him, that many of the sensations I | have just described I have myself experienced, and so did the ninety-and-eight persons who | were with me from the time we first entered | the grand prairie until we reached the flock of | sheep, to which more pleasing subject I will | now return. | ‘There were very few men with the immense , herd, but in thcir stead were a large number | of noble dogs, which appeared to be peculiarly | gifted with the faculty of keeping them togeth- er. . There was no running about, no barking | or biting in their system of tactics ; on the con- i trary, they were continually walking up and | down, like faithful sentinels, on the outer side | of the flock, and sbould any sheep chance to | stray from His fellows, the dog on duty at that | particular post would walk gently up, take him | carefully by the ear, and lead him back to the i fold. Not the least fear did the sheep manifest | at the approach of these dogs; and there was | no occasion for it. They appeared to me to be | of mongrel breed, somewhat resembling, per- | haps, a cross of the Newfoundland or St. Ber- nard species with the larger mastiff. They | possessed mild, frank, and open countenances, | were indefatigable in protecting their charge | from wolves, and from whatI could learn were | extremely sagacious. he shepherds had crooks in their hands, in- | struments I had ofien read of in poets’ lays.— | The uscs to which they were put took away | much of the roman@® I had associated with | crooks and gentle shepherds. One of the lat- | ter, whenever a sheep has been pointed out in | the flock, either to be killed or for sale, thrusts | the long, hooked stick immediately under the throat of the victim, and holds it fast until its fellows have been driven past on either side. |The sheep is then secured by grappling its | wool with the hand—an operation, from first to | last, partaking more of the practical than of the | poetic. | Now that we had found provisions in plenty, | we considered the dangers, the fatigues, the de- | lays, and the vexations of the march as over, | and bright were the anticipations of the future. | Every face was animated with joy, every heart was filled ‘with gladness. How different would | have been our feelings had we known the suf- | ferings and privations, the indignities, and the | cruel maltreatment we were yet to endure—the | terrible fate that was awaiting us !—Kendall’s Sketches of the Texian Santa Fe Expedition.

A new.circumstance had nop fren up. The President of the United States Bdd made a peremptory claim to all this territory, and bad called upon the citizens of the United States to go forth with their wives and children to take possession of it. Now, Columbia was become of more importance each succeeding year. The Government ought, therefore, to insist on a spce- dy solution of this question ; for.there was dan. ger lest the citizens of the United States should disturb British subjects in the enjoyment of their property on the Oregon, and should thus produce a collision between the two Governments.

He must, however, express bis deep regret that, while the negotiations were still pending, the President of the United States should, contrary to all usage, have referred to other contingencies than a friendly termination of them. Such an allusion was not likely to lead to such a result as the friends to the real interests of both countries de- sired. He regretted not only the allusion, but also the tone and temper in which it was made.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. Lord J. Russel, on reading the order of the day for going inty Committee of Supply, called the attention of the House to that part of the which related to the territory of Oregon. It was not his intention, he said, to enter at all iato the question of the foreign policy of her Majesty’s Government, or even of their policy on this very subject of the Oregou, neither was it his wish, by any observations which he might then make, |; ten years the convention expired. message of the President of the United States | : was politic to abstain from exercising the right of discussion on subjects calculated tqescite pop- ular feeling, unless there were cogent. reasons to the contrary. Ifthe noble lord had thought it right to depart from that course on this occa. sion, he ought not to be held responsible for the consequences; for it appeared ihat this question | had been withdrawn trom the cognizance of those to whom it bad been entrusted, and that a popular appeal had been made to the passions of the people in the United States by those who ought to have discountenanced such an appeal. The noble lord bad said that a Minister of the Crown spoke on such a question as the present under a responsibility to which be (Lord John Russell) was not liable. ‘That was undoubted. ly true, and he shou!d therefore abstain from fol- lowing the noble lord through his statement, as he could not do so without implying opinions from the expressions of which he ought to ab- stain, He felt, however, that it was open to him to inform the House of the general state of our negotiations with the United States on this ques- tion, In the year 1818 the northern boundary of the possessions of the United States and of Great Britain, westward of the Rocky Moun. tains, was defined. No agreement was made as to the country beyond the Rocky Mountains ; but a convention signed between the two Gov. ernments in 1818, which was to continue for ten years, gave a right of joint occupation to the sub- Jects of each country. In 1824, and again in 1826, Mr. Canning made several attempts to come to an amicable adjustment of our respect- ive claims with the American Government.— Those attempts entirely failed. At the end of A new con- vention was framed in 1827, which continued in furee for ten years the conveption of 1818, with this proviso; that the convention of 1827 shou!d not necessarily determine by the lapsé of time, but should extend beyond the term of ten years, and should terminate after a year's notice from to embarrass their proceedings.

A year ago, when we under- took the publication and editorship of this journal, its list of nominal subscribers ranged from 750 to 800 ; but well knowing, from the experience which we had alrea- dy had in this department, that the naked names of non- paying subscribers, could with extreme difficulty be con- verted into paper and ink and type and press labor ; nay, that the approving smiles of such patrons were not so contagious in their character as materially to contribute to the equanimity and flow of spirits which should char- acterise an editor, we decided at once to strike from the list transferred to us, the names of all such as had “ gained a character” by the uniformity of their conduct in the particular alluded to. This process something more than decimated the ranks of our enlisted forces, and made the necessity of adding new recruits more ap- parent. Since that time, we have received repeated and very gratifying assurances by the accession of new and paying subscribers that our efforts do not altogether fail of being appreciated. For this measure of success we trust we are not un- thankful. It seems, indeed, to foreshadow some distant day, when, if we should live we might get full pay for our labor, and the public its full share of the advantages derivable therefrom. What we object to is, the slowness of the process by which this is being effected ; and it is precisely this which we wish if possible to remedy. Now, what are our claims to patronage ?_ First, there is no larger paper published in the State, with a single exception, than ours: We present to our readers week- ly, a greater number of square inches of readable mat- ter; or,-in the language of the craft, we set up more ems than are to be found in any paper in North Carolina with the exception just made of the Standard, which ex- ceeds our dimensions by a small fraction in length, and throwing advertisements out of the scale, we beat that respectable journal very considerably. In point of neat- ness, tastefulness and beauty of appearance, there is no- thing in the State that begins to compare with our sheet. This point is universally admitted. There was some contest, we recollect, several months back, among our brother editors, as to whether we had attained to ebso- lute faut'essness in this particu!ar—none, we believe, in regard to our relative superiority. Secondly, our price—two dollars in advance and two fifty at the end of the year—is actuaily less than that of any paper in the State from our own size down. From these facts it follows, we think, that ours isa amore desirable poper, and one deserving a more ex- tended circulation than any journal around us, which is published in a place of no greater business or mail facil- ities than Salisbury—and upon these points we have a word by-and-by— provided we do our daty in an edito- rial capacity. This point we spproach with some hesitancy, because upon this in some of its aspects, it mey not becomeour- selves to speak. The higher departments of editorial labor we have never assumed to occupy. To do so would be out of place, as much in regard to the wants and wisbes of our readers, as in reference to our own cepacity. A country paper, like ours, consists mainly of selections. To make these judiciously should be the leading aim of its editors, and to do this requires little more than care, ettention, unwearied industry and a fair share of common sense. bsg our paper evinces the possession and exercise these : . foil to-morrow ; or terrapin like, fish and fowl together; and yet, upon occasion, neither. In their proceedings towards preparation, we dis- cover, nevertheless, that there is not the same degree of harmony manifested as we are hap- py to witness in the ranks of the Republican Whig party. Among us, there are no undercur. rents—no double-dealing to distract. We pur- sue a straight-forward, bold and independent course: a course worthy of the objects sought to be accomplished—the general good and pros- perity of the Country. It is already known that Col. D. M. Barrin.- ger of Cabarrus, is again the Whig candidate to represent this District. His name was an- nounced in our last paper. For ourselves, we are decidedly favorable to Col. Barringer. He is every inch a Whig; nor yet is he ultra in his sentiments or feelings. He isthe very last man on earth to find fault with a fellow citizen simply because that fellow citizen is opposed to him in politics. Such is not his nature; but whilst he is liberal towards others, he is firm as a rock in his own opinions; and what he engages to do, that will he do. He is one of the efficient—working sort of men, as all know who know him—just such a man as a good Whig and well-wisher of his Country will de- light in sending to the Halls of Congress. We are yet in the dark as to who the Dem- ocrats will bring forward as a candidate in op- position to Col. Barringer. We see, however, that Mr. Charles Fisher, of this Town, has been nominated by public mectings in the Counties of Union and Catawba. We had expected this; and we presume that if Mr. Fisher’s pri- vate affairs will permit him, he will, provided his nomination by these Counties are acceded to by the other Counties of the District, be thee Democratic candidate. The Fayetteville Observer says—‘ The Lo. cofoco Convention held at Barclaysville, in this County, on Friday last, selected James C. Dob. bin, Esq. of this County, as their Candidate for Congress in this District. ‘The choice was made, we are told, on the 20th balloting, and was finally unanimous, though in the course of previous ballotings, others had run frequently and materially ahead of Mr. D. Mr. Busbee at one time received a majorily of the votes, (the counties voting in proportion to their rep- resentation in the Legislature,) but the two- thirds rule having been established, in imita- tion of the Baltimore Convention, Mr. B. was not nominated, and further ballotings were bad until Mr. Dubbin obtained the requisite vote.” The Whigs “ment of four Justices of the Peace, who partie .| with serenading, they attacked the houses of the officially : and by approving, on his own part, and inducing Mr. Toca, by an official falsehood, to join him in approving the official bond of Sheriff Dutillet, before he had obtained from the Treasurer of the State the receipt, or quietus, required by law. Measures have been taken for the impeach- cipated in the frauds, VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY. We learn from the Virginia papers, that a most disgraceful riot took place at the Univer. sity at Charlottsville, on the 14th inst. Before the disturbance could be quelled, the civil au- thorities and finally the Military to the number of 500 had to be called in. Et appears from statements given, that about 50 disguised stu- dents formed themselves into what they called the Calithumpian Band, and made the night hid eous with their horribly discordant sounds. Af- ter several nights of this kind of amusement, the students were denounced ina lecture of ono of the Proféssors, who was serenaded on that night to his heart’s content for presuming to re- buke them fur such disorderly behaviour. Oa the next day, another of the Professorsdenounced the rude conduct of the band, and at night he was treated in“the same way. Not content Professors, breaking windows and doors, besides doing much damage to the rotunda, doors and windows of the buildings generally. Such un- becoming behaviour deserves the severest cen- sure, and not one engaged in it should be per- mitted to go unpunished. Bd MORE ANNEXATION. The subjoined paragraph from the Nashville Union, Mr. Polk’s mouth-piece in Tennessee, throws some light on the notions and intentions of annexationists in this country, .

The undersigned had flattered himself that, inthis Qaestion, the good sense and sound opinions of the citizens most distin- guished andexperienced in the manage- ment of publie affairs in this Republic, would have prevailed in the deliberations of the legislative body, and of the Union . sapreHanniely. this had not been the Bat nad, contrary to his hopes and most sincere Wishes, he sees consummated by the’ American Government, an act of ag- gression, the most unjust which can be re- membered in the annals of modern history —such as is the spoliation of a friendly nation, like:Mexico, of a considerable part of her territory. . For such reasons, the undersigned, in fulfilment of his instructions, finds himself obliged to protest, and he does according- ly protest in the most solemn manner, in the name of his Government, against the law passed*on the 28th of last month by the general Congress of the United States, and.sanctioned on the Ist of the present nee the, President of the suid States, by,which the province of Texas, an integ- val part of the Mexican territory, is allow- ed to be admitted into the American Un- ion. The undersigned -in like manner de- clares that the aforesaid Jaw can in no manner invalidate the rights which the Mexican nation possesses to recover the aforesaid province of Texas, of which she is. now unjustly despoiled, and which rights she will sustain and enforce at all times by whatever means are in her pow- er. The undersigned will say in conclusion to the Hoa. Secretary of State of the Uni- ted S:ates, in order that he may be pleas- edto-inform the President of the said Mates of the same, that in consequence of the law against which be has just pro- tésted, his missiu to this Government is terminated “from to-day. Consequently the undersigned requests the Hon. Secre- tary of State to be pleased to send him bis passports, as he has arranged to quit this‘city as soon as possible for New York. The undersigned, &c.8 _ (Signed.) T. N. ALMONTE. Washington, 6:h March, 1845. Department of State, *Wasuincton, March 10, 1845. The undersigned, Secretary of State of the United States, has received the note ofGéneral Almonte, the Envoy Extraor- dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Mexican Republic, of the 6th inst., ad- dressed to his predecessor, the Hon. John €, Calhoun, protesting in the name of his Government against the resolution of the late Congress for annexing Texas to the United States; and he has submitted the same to the President. In answer, the undersigned is instructed tosay, that the admission of Texas as one of the Union, having received the sanction both of the Legislative and Executive Departments of the Government, is now Rfevocahly decided, so far as the United are concerned. Nothing but the refusal of Texas to ratify the terms and conditions on which her admission de- pends, can defeat this object. It is, there- re, too late at present to re-open a dis- tassion which has already been exhausted, aid again to prove that Texas has long achiéved her independence of Mex- , and now stands before the world, both pe thas de facto, as a sovereign and udependent State amid the family of na- > Sustaining this character, and hav- ig manifested a strong desire to become one-Of the members of our Confederacy, ether Mexico nor any other nation will just cause of complaint against the td States for admitting her into the nt nevertheless regrets that iment of Mexico should have ie gor be. rhestly trust that it may, her be disposed to view them in a table and friendly light.

Clark as a candidate for Congress— and then adjonrned sine die. After determining that the vote should be taken by Counties, and each County should have as many votes as Captains’ districts, the balloting commenced. On the first ballot, Carteret, 2 tam Tyrrell, Washington and Edgecomb voted for Toole—44; Beaufort, Craven and Pitt for Clark—43;.Greene and Nash for Arring- ton—16—as we are informed by a dele-, ate. . Fifty-two votes were necessary to a choice, and Mr. Toole lacked only eight. Had Beaufort gone for him, he would have had the nomination; but by skilful jock- eying her vote was for Clark by a major- ity of one. In the Convention that met bere two years ago, of the 30 Beaufort delegates, 23 were for Toole. Since then his services for the party, as candidate for elector, have endeared him more and more to his friends, and there is no doubt but that the voice of the Beaufort Democracy, fairly expressed, is nearly unanimous for him now. % On the second ballot, Greene voted for Clark, and he got 50 votes, Toole 44, Ar- rington 9. The result of the third ballot was the same. Here some of the friends of Toole pro- posed to unite with the Nash delegation, and give the nomination to Arrington. But | the Carteret delegation. prefering any bo- | dy else, became alarmed, and on the ourth ballot voted for Clark, which gave him 59 | votes, and secured him the nomination. ° | The friends of Mr. Toole then proposed, that as this was merely a preliminary mee- ing, the Convention should adjourn, as | usual, to the Court House, and there make the nomination public. But they were choked down; resolutions, cut and dried for the occasion, were introduced and pass- ed, and the caucus adjourned. These are all the particulars we have | been able to gather of this extraordinary | nomination, which will doubtless be ush- | ered forth, through the Locofoco papers, as | the united voice of the harmonious de- | { in the streets, there was a general burst | of indignation among the Beaufort Dem- | ocrats, the friends of Mr. Toole, who feel | for him nearly the same warm, devoted | attachment, the Whigs entertain towards | Mr. Stanly. They denounced the nomi- nation as a humbug, an insult to the de- mocracy of Beaufort especially—spoke of | their severe struggles with the Whigs, in | all of which Mr. Clark had taken side with the Whigs—said he had voted for Stanly against Wilson and Hal!l—spoke of his going to Raleigh during the Session of the Legislature in ’42-3, and opposing Mr. Rodman, the democratic nominee for | Solicitorship of this Judicial circuit, and | receiving the vote of every Whig member. They declared him a mere “ white-wash- ed” Democrat—said he had never shown any regard for democracy or democratic | principles, so long as the District was | Whig. but as soon as it was democratic, | then he professed to be a first rate demo- | crat ; and now had shown his democracy | by opposing and defeating one who had | done more for the democratic cause than | any other man in the District, who, while | he (Clark) was acting with the Whigs, and talents, devoting himself, body and | soul, to the advancement of the democra- | tic cause, While giving utterance of their | feelings of indignation in bitter denuncia- tions, they said many things concerning the nominee, which we shall not repeat, | and which we hope are not true. | After the excitement had sufficiently subsided to give place to the “sober se- cond thought,” they called a meeting at the Court House. A large audience as- sembled—as large perhaps as ever atten- ded a Democratic meeting there, if trot larger. Col. Jno. W. Williams, a leading and influencial democrat in the County, who has been several times elected to the Legislature, was called to the chair. In stating the object of the meeting, he said there.was great dissatisfaction at the pro- céedings of the Convention—that many were anxious Mr. Toole should be the can- didate for Congress—-that the meeting had been called for the purpose of pablicly a- dopting measures to ascertain whether or not Mr. T. would consent to be a candi- date—that so far as he (Col. W.) was con- cerned, he intended. to vote for Mr. Toole whether he was a candidate or not. This Lcommittee be appointed to wait on Mr. T. and request him to address the meet- ing. An attempt was here made bya rela- tive of Mr. Clark to get the nays to the motion taken, for the purpose, it was thought, of trying to vote it down. This called out James W. Satchwell, Esq. an- : eae sis wteP as influential democrat, who ort c guage o ne bet ~~ J ere at the market, rejoicing that grea foe, had been thrown overboard by his own friends. He was received, however, with loud cheers.. He commenced his re- marks by alluding to the Whig guns, and spoke for nearly a half-hoar—chiefly of his services and sacrifices ‘in the demo- cratic cause, particularly in Beaufort—of the effects his labors had produced—of the doings of the Convention and the foul play in the Beaufort delegation. And he clos- ed by announcing himself a candidate for Congress. “I appeal,” said he, “ from the packed Convention to the great unpacked of the people.” the whole, the Convention has giv- en great satisfaction to the Whigs.— They are highly pleased to see that Mr. Arrington’s friends have been sorely mor- tified, and that the pride of Edgecombe is not to be gratified by having a son of hers to represent her in the next Congress. | North State Whig.

The truth is, there has been in this quarter of the State, and through- out its limits, an actua@tindifference of the Whigs to the result of the election. It has been a common remark, all over the coun- try, that politics are a dead letter. The superior discipline of our adversaries has always enabled them to take advantage of this state of things; and this defeat ought not to be a surprising result.” FROM MEXICO. Advices have been received up to the 11th from Vera Cruz, and to the 5th ult., from the City of Mexico. The American Minister, Mr. Shannon, had retired to Tacubaya, and was only waiting for despatches from this Government, before leav- ing for the U. States. There seems to be much excitement on the subject of annexation, and a had been spending his time, and substance, | disposition to resist it to the utmost, at least, so far as talking can do it.

Scott, making & ard Hh A with his bridgade in the after- noon of the 25th of July, 1814" came in view of it, we saw the court-yard filled with British officers, their horses held by orderlies and servants in attendance. As soon as we became visible to them, their bugles sounded to saddle, and in a few moments they were mounted ind soon dis- appeared through the woods at full gal- lop, twenty bugles ringing the alarm from different partsof the forest. All vanished as if swallowed by the earth, save an el- egant veteran officer, who remed up just out of musket ‘shot, and took a leisurely survey of our'numbers. Having appar- ently satisfied himself of our force, he raised the plamed hat from his head, bow- ing gracefully to our cortege. put spirs to his horse and disappeared with the rest. From the occupant of the house we gath- ered that we were about a mile distant from a strong body of the enemy, posted in the rising ground just beyond the woods in our front. General Scott, turning to one of his escort, said “Be kind enough sir, to return to Major General Brown; inform him that I have fallen in with the enemy’s advance, posted in force at ‘ Lundy’s Lane’ and in one half hour, I shall have joined battle.” “Order up Ripley with the second brigade,—direct Porter to get his volunteers immediately under arms” was the brief reply of Major General Brown to my message, and the ‘aids were instantly in their saddles, con- veying the orders. As I galloped back through the woods, continued the Major, the cannon shot screaming by me, tearing the trees, and sending the rail fences in the air in their course, warned me that the contest had begun. But we are on the battle ground. There, said the Ma- jor, upon the verge of that sloping hill, parallel with the road,and through the graveyard towards the Niagara, was drawn up the British line under General Riall, in force three times greater than our brigade—his right covered with a powerful battery of nine pieces of artille- ry. two ofthem brass twenty-fours. The Eleventh and Twenty-second regi- ments first leaving the wood, deployed up- on the open ground with the coolness and regularity of a review, and were soon en- gaged furiously in action; the fire of the enemy's line and from the batteries, which completely commanded the position, open- ing upon them with tremendous effect. Towson, having hurried up with his guns on the left, in'vain endeavored to attain sufficient elevation to return the fire of their battery. The destruction on our side was very great; the two regiments fought with consummate bravery. They were severely cut up, their amunition be- came exhausted, and their officers nearly all of them killed and wounded, they were withdrawn from action, the few officers remaining unhurt throwing themselves in- to the Ninth,.which now came into action. led by the gallant Colonel Leavenworth. The brunt of the battle now came upon them, and they alone sustained it for some- time, fighting with unflinching bravery, until their numbers were reduced to one- half by the fire of the enemy. At this juncture, General Scott galloped up with the intention of charging up the hill; but finding them so much weakened, altered bis intention, entreating them to hold their ground until the reinforcements, which were hastening up, should come to their assistance. A momentary cessation of the action ensued, while additional forces hurried up to the aid of each army—Rip- ley’s brigade, Hindman’s artillery, and Porter’s volunteers on the part of the A- mericans, and a strong reinforeement un- der General Drummond on that of the British —Hindman’sartillery were attach- ed to that of Towson, and soon made them- selves heard.—Porter's brigade displayed on the left, while Ripley formed on the skirts of the wood to the right of Scott’s brigade. The engagement was soon re- newed, with augmented vigcr ; General Drammond taking command in person, with his fresh troops in the front line of the enemy.—Colonel Jesup, who had at the commencement of the action been posted on the right, succeeded after a gallant contest, in turning the left flank of the enemy, and came in upon his reserve, * burdened with prisoners, making himself visible to his own army, amj ness, in a blaze of fire,” com ing all before him. The some time with great fury, but it became apparent, uselessly to the. Americans, if the enemy retained possession of the bat- tery; manifestly the key of the position. I was standing at the side of Colonel Miller, said the Major when General Brown rode up and inquired, whether he could storm the battery with his regiment, while General Ripley supported him with the nger regiment, the Twenty-third. Miller, amid the uproar and confusion, deliberately surveyed the position, then quietly turning with infinite coolness re- plied,“ PU try sir.” Ithink Isee himnow, said the Major, as drawing up his gigan- tic figure to its full height, he turned .to his regiment, drilled to the precision of a piece of m Thear his deep lion tones—“* !—-form ‘ ie oe the. » oht: eae) doit. te. - ley—sharp, in el rhutider: Another moment. rushing the white smoke, a short furious struggle’ with the bayonet, and. the artillerymen were swept like chaff from their guns. Avother-fierce struggle—the enemy’s line was forced down the side of ‘the hill and the victory was ours—the position éntire- ly in our hands—their own pieces turned and played upon them intheinretreat. It was bought at crael price ; most of the of- ficers being either killed or wounded.— The whole tide of the battle now turned to this point. The result of the ‘conflict depended entirely upon the ability of the victorious party to retain it. Major Hind- man was ordered up and _ posted his, for- ces at the side of the captured ‘¢annon, while the American line correspondently advanced. Strung with mortification, the brave General Drummond concentra- ted his forces, to retake by a desperate charge the position. The interval amid the darkness was alone filled by the roar of the cataracts, and the groans of the wounded. He advanced with strong re- inforcements, outflanking each side of the American line. We were only able, in the murky darkness, to ascertain their ap- proach by their heavy tread. “They halt- ed within twenty paces—poured in a rap- id fire and prepared for the rusb.” Di- rected by the blaze, our men returned it with deadly effect, and after a desperate struggle, the dense column recoiled. An- other interval of darkness and silence, and again a most furious and desperate } charge was made by the British, throw- t ing the whole weight of their attack upon the Americancentre. The gallant Twen- ty-first, which composed it. receiving them with undaunted firmness—while the fire from our lines was “ dreadfully effective,” Hindman’s artillery served with the most perfect coolness and effect. Staggering, they again recoiled. During this second attack, General Scott in person, his shat- tered brigade now consolidated into a sin- gle battallion, made two determined char- ges upon the right and left flank of the en- emy, and in these he revived the scars which his countrymen now see upon his manly front. Our men were now almost worn down with fatigue, dying with thirst for which they could gain norelief. The British, with fresh reinforcements—their men recruited and rested—aiter the in- terval of another hour, made their third and final effortto regain the position. They advanced—delivered their fire as before—and although it was returned with the same deadl? effect, they steadily pressed forward. The Twenty-first again sustained the shock, and both lines were soon engaged in a “ conflict, obstinate and dreadful beyond description.” The right and left of the American line fell back tor a moment, but were immediately rallied by their officers. “So desperate did the battle now become, that many battallions on both sides were forced back,” the men engaged in indiscriminate melee, fought hand to hand, and with musket.clubbed ; and “so terrific was the conflict where the canon were stationed, that Major Hind- man had to engage them over his guns and guncarriages, and finally to spike two of his pieces, under the apprehension that they would fall into the hands of the ene- | my.” General Ripley at length made a most desperate and determined charge upon both of the enemy’s flanks—they wavered—recoiled—gave way—ani the | centre soon following, they relinqnished the fight and made a final retreat. The annals of warfare on this continent have never shown more desperate fighting. Bayonets were repeatedly crossed, and after the action, many of the men were found mutually transfixed. The British foree engaged was about five thousand men; the American thirty-five hundred; the combined lossin killed and wounded, seventeen hundred and twenty-two officers and men. The battle commenced at half past four o'clock in the afiernoon, and did not terminate till midnight. We were su mingled, said the Major, and so great the confusion in the. darkness, that. as I was sitting with a group of officers in the earlier part of the night, on -horseback, a British soldier came up to us, and.-recov- ering his masket, under the supposition that he was addressed one of his‘ officers, said, “Colonel Gordon will be much ob- liged, sir, if you will march up the three hundred men in the road to his assistance immediately, as he is very hard pressed.” I called him nearer, and pressing his mus- ket down over my holsters, made him pris- oner. “What have I done, sir,” said the astonished man, “ what have ] done ?” and to convince British officers, as he suppos- ed, of his loyalty, exclaimed, “ Hurrah for the King, and damn. the . Yankees.” -As he was marching to the rear, the fel- low was cut down bya grape shot. In another part of the field, an ji aid pulled up suddenly on a body of men un- der full march. In reply to his demand, « What regiment is that 1” he was answer- ed “ The Royal Scots” With great pres- ence. of mind, he replied “Halt!

Yet in this lonely and brief tragedy, these two men were enacting parts, which to them were as momentous as the furious conflict of the masses in the distance. Note to Lundy's Lane.— Death of Capt.

One day the captain had several friendes to dine with him ; the cage door was opened, and the bird after flying around the room, perched on’ the head of the captain. The party were then drinking wine, and he held up his glass, when the bird hopped on the edge of it, and drank some of the wine. The little creature soon felt the effects and returned to the cage com- pletely intoxicated. Soon after, at another party, the captain attempted the same, bnt the bird remembering what he had suffered before, would not taste, but flew back to hiscage.

Dreadful Case of Mania-a-Potu.—T wo gen- tlemen hunting a few days since ina swamp near Little Rock, were attached by a faint, moaning cry, which led them to a spot where they found a poor creature lying in the mud and water, and suffering from the effects of mania- a-potu. His name was Mays, and it was sup- posed that he had remained in the situation in which he was found for two days and nights. He had eaten the flesh from the ends of his fin- gers, and was in a state of the greatest suffer- ing. Though partially restored to his reason hy prompt and humane treatment, his recovery was very doubtful._—WN. O. Picayune. A Royal Reproof.—During the reign of Di- onysius the Elder, one of the young nobles of Syracuse, returning home afier.a debauch, was attacked by a robber who stripped him of eve- rything, even to his clothes... The next day the thief was discovered and brought before the king, whose. known severity made the criminal tremble with apprehension.—The noble having related his story, and other witnesses having proved that the porperty was found with the prisoner, the king, after meditating a moment, asked the young man how he could, reconcile it with his reputation for courage, to be robbed and stripped by a single man. He replied that he was too much under the influence of wine to defend himself; on which the king ordered the robber to be discharged, and sternly address- ing the young noble, said: ‘So it is wine that deprives our youth of their strength, courage and reputation! Go, and learn to take care of yourself, for from this hour I will rather favor than punish those who are the instruments of chastising unmanly debauchery.’ A Warning.—A Washingtonian was allured into one of the Portland grog shops a few days since, and after _much_ persuasion, induced to taste a glass of cider. As his back was tarned for a moment, a quantity of spirits was added to the cider—and the result was a dreadful de- bauch, and the loss of seventy-five dollars.

To his Excellency Witson SHannon, Envoy Extraordinary, &c. 5s, Unrnep States Lecation, Marcu 31, 1845. The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary, &c. of the United States, has the hcnor of acknowl. edging the receipt of his Excellency’s Senor Cuevas’s, Minister of Foreign Relations, &c., note of the 28th of March, announcing that the Congress of the United States has sanctioned the’ annexation of ‘'exas to its territory; that the Minister at Washington had terminated his official relations and protested against the said htertaining the ‘tion of the relations of the two countries will same views, or of acquiescing in the assurances which his excellency Mr. Shan- non bas givén, whatever may be its sentiments towards his Excellency yt . The undersigned, in making this announce- ment to his “excellency Mr. Shannon, doing so by the order of the President of Mexico—cut- ing short a new discussion which the interrup- not permit, and because nothing can be added to what this Department has already said—has the honor to renew the assurances of his very distinguished consideration. ; LUIS G, CUEVAS. Senor Cuevas has also addressed a general circular to the Ministers Plenipotentiary of En- gland, France, and Spain, which is translated as follows : The undecsigned, Minister of Foreign Rela- | tions, has the honor to transmit to his excellen- cy the Minister of the following circular, being impelled to employ this means of trans- mitting to his [your] Government, in this note, the solemn and formal protest of the Mexican Republic, suggested by an act which, wounding | to the last degree the rights and honor of Mex. | ico, is equally destructive to the universal prin- ciples of justice, to the respect due free and intelligent nations, and the good faith which | civilization has fixed as the basis of internation. | al intercourse, (internacional politica.) His | excellency Senor undersigned has reference to the law passed by | the Congress of the United States, and sanc- tioned by the Executive, for the annexation of | the Department of Texas tothe American Union. To present, in all its deformity, this act of the Congress and Government of the United States, | the’ alarming consequences of its conduct to- wards the Mexican Republic, would be a use- less Jabor, inasmuch as this note is addressed to the representative of a nation as illustrious | as it is powerful, which, sustaining nobly the | rank which it occupies in the world, respects | the laws of comity (buena amistad) between | foreign nations, and founds its glory upon the | immutable titles of morality and justice. The | Government of the undersigned has no occasion | to exhibit all the grounds upon which it relies for its resistance to this measure of annexation, | as they are obvious and known to all, and as the | feeling excited among fsiendly nations, and even act’of the Congress and Government of the U. States; and that diplomatic relations between the two countries could not be continued, The liberal and honorable sentiments enter- tained by the actual Government of Mexico had induced the undersigned to hope that the differ- ences which exist between the two Govern- ments could be arranged amicably, upon terms just and honorable to both. It would appear, however, from the note of his excellency Senor Cuevas that Mexico declines to adjust these dif- ferences in this manner, and thus preserve the peace of the two countries. The undersigned can assure his excellency Senor Cuevas, that his (Mr. Shannon’s) Gov- ernment entertains the liveliest desire to culti- vate amicable relations with that of Mexico ; and here he will improve this opportunity to re- peat that which he has before communicated to the Government of Mexico, to wit, that the Uni- ted States has not adopted the measure of an- nexation in any spirit of hostility towards Mexi- co, and that the United States are anxious to settle all questions which may grow out of this measure, including that of boundaries, in terms the most just and liberal. Having offered the olive branch of peace, and manifested a sincere desire to arrange these questions amicably, and upon priyciples just and honorable to both Governments, the United States have done whatever is in their power to preserve the friendly relations between them, and it now remains for Mexico to decide whe- ther they shal] be continued, or whether the peace of the two countries shall be broken by aconflict equally injurious to both, and which ean give satisfaction only to the enemies of civil liberty and republican institutions. The undersigned will pass over in silence the charge made against his Government of having violated the treaty of friendship with Mexico. The right of Texas to cede the whole or@ part | of her territory to the United States, and the | . right of the United States to accept such cession, have already been amply vindicated repeatedly. The undersigned has received no official com- munication as to the action of his Government in regard to the annexation of Texas to the Union’; nevertheless, he cannot doubt, from the tenor of his personal correspondence, that the measure has been passed by Congress and ap- proved by the President. He expects daily de- spatches from his Government, with special in- structions upon this subject, and, before taking has resolved to await their any further steps, arrival, The undersigned has the honor, &c.

The Mexi- can Republic will employ in opposition to this measure her power and her resources ; and, trusting in the justice of her cause, does not fear to give assurance that, whatever may be the result, she will preserve the honor which at any cost she ought to defend in the very grave matter under consideration. With this view the undersigned requests his excellency Senor to give this protest its proper direction, and at the same time to accept the assurances of his most distinguished con- sideration.

On the return of the negroes to within a short distance of their homes, one of them, a mulatto girl of about 15 years of age, slipped.one side into the woods, and had not been found up to Wed- nesday morning. Another case of stealing took place in Upson a few days since. “A young man who had been engaged in school teach- ing, and who maintained a good charac- ter, stole a horse and decamped west- ward. He was pursued and arrested, hav- ing in his charge a negro belonging to a Mr. Walker of Upson, who had been a runaway for some time. The horse which he stole had been swapped for another.

The forest trees are gigantic—from 15 to 50 feet in circumference, and from 100 to over 300 feetinheight! This may seem incredible, but these facts are vouched by every trav- eller from the time of Lewis and Clark to the present day. The trees fare _princi- pally pines, cedars, and firs. To farmers in the Atlantic states this may seem a strange growth of timber for a fertile soil. Mr. Franham, who spent some months there, and who describes with great pow- er but perhaps with some exaggeration, | remarks for the country north and between | the Columbia river and the straits of Juan de Fucia, that “ The forests are so heavy and so matted with brambles, as to require | the arm of a Hercules to clear a farm of berry are common. Of the there are the. white tailed, black tai jumping. and moose. deer; the elk; red’ and black and grey wolf; the black, brown, and grizzly bear; the mountain sheep; black, white, red, and mixed foxes; bea- ver, lynx, martin, ermines, woodrats, and” the small curled tailed, short eared dog, common among the Chippeways. “ Of the feathered tribe, there ar goose, the branf, several kinds of. cranes, the swan, many varieties of the .duck, hawks of several kinds, plovers, white eagles, crows, vultures, thrush, gulls, woodpeckers, pheasants. pelicans, pat- ridges, grouse, snowbirds, &c. “In the rivers and lakes are a-very su- perior quality of salmon, brook and salm- on trout, sardines, sturgeon, rock, cod, the hair seal, &c., and in the bays and inlets along the coast, are sea otter an inferior kind of oyster.” Capt. Wilkes on the same subject ob- serves: “Fisueries.—It will be almost impossi- ble to give an idea of the extensive fish- eries in the rivers and on the coast. | ( They all abound in salmon of the finest that they are blest | they lie between the high parallels of 48 | flavor, which run twice a year, beginning iber- | and 54 degrees, the soil is said to be well | in May and October, and appear inex- ( The straits and haustible; the whole population live up- the enjoyment of certain invaluable rights, | circumjacent waters abound in fish of the | on them.

It enters the Pa- | | cific Ocean at the latitude of 46 degrees. | Frazer’s river (350 miles it length) enters ‘the strait of Juan de Fuca at the 59th par- | allel. One hundred and fifty miles south of the Columbia, the Umpqua river enters the Pacific. This stream is about 100 miles in length—at its mouth, three-fourths of a mile wide, with 15 feet water on the | bar—the tide sets up for 30 miles—above that, it is unnavigable on account of falls and rapids. Forty miles south of the Umpqua, the Klamet river (in latitute 42, 40) enters the Pacific. Its length is 150 \miles. Mr. Franham remarks, as some- thing peculiar, “The pine and cedar dis- ‘appear upon this stream, and instead of | ‘them are found a myrtaceous tree of small ‘size, which when shaken by the least breeze, diffuses a delicious fragrance | | through the groves.” On the south of the Colunthja there | is | | more prairie than wood land. This is ‘stated to be the finest agricultural section in Oregon. The trees (pine and cedar) | on the uplands are of the same enormous | ‘size as they are on the banks of the Co- ‘lumbia river. The tallest and heaviest trees in the Atlantic states seem mere | saplings in comparison. It is singular, though it is so stated, that ‘Indian corn will not thrive in any part even of southern Oregon. This seems scarcely credible, for théy can raise wheat, ‘barley, oats, and even the most tender | garden vegetable in a great portion of the territory, as well as the finest variety of | apples, pears and strawberries. The dry | chilly nights in summer, even when the days are very warm, are represented as | the cause of its non-adoption to corn.

Young lads of 16 and 17 are frequently met with in the villa- ges, already married, and with families. I am acquainted with a lady of one of the first Athenian families, who, though only twenty-five years of age, already has six- teen children, (eight of them twins) of whom seven are alive. It may scarcely appear credible, but there is now at Ath- ens a venerable grandmamma in the per- son of a lady not yet twenty-four years old. She was married when eleven years of age, and had a daughter in the course of a year. That daughter married also, when scarcely eleven and has just become a mother.” Mr. John P. Hale. the proscribed Loco- foco member of the last Congress from New Hampshire, has no notion of “ giving up so,” but has made up his mind to stump through the State on his own hook, and see whether the people of New Hamp- shire are willing to give up an old demo- crat, because he chose to use his own judg- ment in voting consistently with his and their own previous opinions on the subject of annexation, instead of obeying the be- hests of a few dough-faced leaders, who | had been bought or drawn into the sup- port of a measure to which they were at | heart oppossed. | Marriage Vow.—The matrimonial cer- emony, like many others, has undergone | some variation in the progress of time.— | Upwards of three centuries ago the hus- | band on taking his wife, as now by the |right hand, thas addressed her: “J, N., | undersygne the N., for my wedded wife, | for better, for worse, for richer for pooer, | yn sickness and yn helthe, tyl dethe us de- | parte (now ‘do part,’ as we have errone- | ously rendered it, the ancient meaning of ‘departe, even in Wickliff’s time, being ‘separate,) as holy church hath ordeyned, , and plyth the my trowthe.” The wife re- | plies in the same form, with an additional clause, “to be buxom to the tyl dethe us _departe. So it appears in the first edition of the ‘ Missals for the use of the famous | and celebrated Church of Hereford, 1592,’ ‘fol. In what is called the Salisbury Mis- | sal, the lady pronounced a more general obedience “to be bonere and buxom in |bedde and at the borde.” Edit.

We | noticed the crimson fires on Red Hill, in our paper of Saturday—and we have since learned that telegraphic intelligence is conveyed, not only from New York to this city—but also from New York to Baltimore. The last | station in New Jersey for the transmission of news to | Baltimore, is Mount Ephraim, from which the lights are responded to, on onc of the heights below Chester—and so on southwards. The objects of these telegraphic sig- nals are of course only known to the initiated—but the country people are frequently startled with the apparition | clear blue, and sometitnes of a pale yellow—and on heights that are lonely and embosomed in woods.

All were standing upon the floor on the tiptoe of expectation, when our Yankee gave forth his first command with great gravity “prepare to pucker!” All antici- pated the next command, “ pucker /” and instantly a roar of laughter shook the house to its foundation. It is unnecessary to say that the next day our Yankee traveller was seen wend- ing his way westward, with full pockets, and whistling many a mérry tune, while those who had taken their first lesson in the science of whistling were hailed at every turn in the street with the by-words — prepare to pucker !”—* pucker !” From the Charlestown (Va.)

Kanawha Salt Works.—It has been known to the public for some two years that several extensive salt furnaces in the Kanawha salt region have been operated exclusively by gas. The gas forcing up the water from the depth of a thousand or fifteen hundred feet, and then being col- lected ina barrel, which serves as a gas- ometer, it is conveyed by a pipe to the furnace, furnishing all the heat necessary to carry on at the same time all the pro- cesses of the manufacture of salt to its completion in an establishment capable of making a hundred b.rrels in a day, and | at night brilliartly “ng up the whole works ; thus saving the expenseof a steam i the water. and all the Atha eis} + Seepening 6 Wells 0 essrs. Dickinson & Shrewsbury, the auger struck a stream of gas, at the depth of one thousand feet, that in quantity and force far surpasses any thing of the kind heretofore discovered here, or perhaps in the world. The au- ger was pressed up with such force as al- most to overcome the exertions of the workmen to hold it down while they could unscrew the detachments. The way be- ing cleared, the gas having full play, sent a column of water one hundred feet, (and if tubed. would no doubt raise it to double that distance.) occasionally discharging stones from the size of a musket ball to that of a hen’s egg almost with the force of a grape-shot from a piece of ordnance. When we were there on Thursday last, all hands were engaged in active efforts to get down a plug to check the force of the gas, so as to enable them to insert the tube. They have, we learn, partially suc- ceeded, and in a few days, both the gas and water will be turned to a good ac- count. Serious apprehensions were very justly entertained of the destruction of the furnaces in the immediate neighborhood, as well as of the residence of Mr. William Thompson, should this immense body of gas take fire, which it was thought might occur from a steamboat passing on the ri- ver, so extensively was it diffused in the atmosphere. A strong guard is kept up night and day to prevent such a catastro- phe. On Saturday, the third well from the one we are speaking of took fire, and, with the most active exertions, was not he had finished, saying to his host interro- gatively, ‘ Quack, quack, quack?” The Mandarin, with equal brevity replied, with a shake of his head, “Bow, wow, | wow.” Mr. Cusuine’s feelings can be im- | agined. | | | UNION.

The Cambria, the last steamer from Boston, made a remarkably quick passage out, having arrived at Liverpool, on Sunday morning, the 13th ultimo, accomplishing the distance from land to land in nine days and eighteen hours, and from Boston to Liverpool in eleven and a half days! The pacific character of her news, and the general silence of the American press on the Oregon question, caused a re-action in the mo- ney market; and consols, which fell after the debate in Parliament to 97%, rose gradually, and are quoted on the 18th at 99} to } tor money, and 984 for account. In the cotton market, the advices put an end to all speculation, but there continued a regular demand from the trade, though the previous ad- vance of $d. was entirely lost. The European Times says that matters would probably re- fecf Sir Robert Peel’s views respecting the Or- egon question would preduce in the U. States. Mr. Everett, the American’ Minister, enter- tained a distinguished party of the nobility on Thursday. Amongst the number was Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, Mrs. S., Rogers, Lord and Lady Denman, Lord Brougham, and Dowager Lady Holland. A hostile collision has taken place between the rival Protestant and Catholic factions in Switzerland, which has resulted in much bluod- shed. The American provision market has decided- ly improved. The accounts that Texas hesitated about ac- cepting the offer of annexation excited great in- terest in England, the more so from its being entirely unlooked tor. The Parliamentary proceedings are, with the exception of the Maynooth grant, almost entire- ly without interest to transatlantic readers.— Upon a proposition of Sir Robert Peel to in- crease the grant for the promotion of the edu- cation of Roman Catholic students in the col- lege of Maynooth, a protracted debate ensued. Sir Robert Peel’s speech, which was a very able one, astonished a number of his supporters’ by the length to which he avowed his willingness to go, in order to secure the pacification of Ire- land. Mr. Shiel warmly eulogized the Premier’s liberality ; and Mr. O'Connell also expressed his hearty approval of the measure, produced, as he contends, by agi/ation, which will also force the Premier to introduce a bill fur the Re- peal of the Union. The measure, it is thought probable, will pass the Commons by about 80 majority, and meet with little opposition in the Peers. The tranquilization of Ireland seemed actu- ally to be in hopeful progress. Mr. O’Connell had postponed his great meeting at Contarf, and is said to manifest a sincere disposition to co- operate with the British Ministry in endeavors to quiet and benefit the country. A very large proportion of the Irish Bishops and clergy are represented as influenced by the same feeling ; and the visit ot the Queen, in July, was expect. ed to have a most salutary effect. The official return of the revenue for the year and quarter ending on the 12th of April, on the whole, is highly satisfactory. On the year there is an increase of £1,410,526 ; and onthe quar. ter of £228,241. Upon the Customs revenue for the quarter there is a deficiency, amounting to £501,941 ; but upon the year there is an increase of £718,- 602. On the Excise there is an increase on the corresponding quarter of last year of £64,796, and on the year of £344,785. In the amount of the property tax there is a rease on the quarter of £87,145, and on the year of £252,439, as compared with the prece- ding corresponding periods.

Such other of the members of the Association as can conveniently attend, will please do so. (UF We call the attention of the pub- lic to the Biography of Josera Hewes, which we republish from “ Hunt’s Mer- chants’ Magazine.” Whatever cavalists may say of the Mecklenburg declaration, the fact appears from this article that on the 22d of April, 1776, a convention of North Carolina empowered her delegates in Congress to go “For ]NDEPENDENCY,” which had never been done by any State authority before. Of Hunt’s Magazine we will simply say itstandsin the highest rank: Lord Brough- am said in the House of Lords, that it was the “ most authentic and the best” work of the kind in the world. JONATHAN WORTH, ESQ. This gentleman received the nomination of the Convention held in Ashboro’, on the 7th inst., as the Whig candidate to re- present the 4th District in the- next Con- gress. It isa wise choice. Mr. Worth is not a manof brilliant—sparkling intellect; neither is he an up-start, with more vani- ty than brains ; nor yet a demagoge, with largely developed bumps of hypocrisy and falsehood. But he is a man of sound, practical sense,and whose acquired know]- edge is far from being mean ;—he is hon- est, candid, and faithful to his trust ; and we predict that he will make one among the most useful members of the next Con- gress. The Whigs of his district need not fear to trust him—need not fear he’l] Tylerise—there is no danger of it: Jon- ATHAN Wort is humanity, we know, but he is of the firmer sort. He will not dis- appoint the hopes of his friends. The Editors of the Raleigh papers have been disputing among themselves about prevaillng there to some extent. They all agree, however, except the Standard, that it 7s not the Black Tongue, as has been re- ported very generally in the country.— The Standard is also in opposition to the medical gentlemen of¢Raleigh, who have expressed their opinion as to the disease. The United States Journal.—The first No. of this paper, just commenced at the Seat Government, under the management of Messrs. Fisk and Dow, has come to hand. It looks very neat ; and as the ed- itors are pretty able writers, will no doubt be conducted with considerable spirit.— Messrs. Fisk and Dow, have a good deal of experience in the editorial life, and we rather expect they will prove a thorn in the flesh to Messrs. Ritchie & Heiss, the organists of the new Administration. The fiftieth Anniversity Commencement of the University of North Carolina, will take place on the first Tuesday of June next. It is said the exercises of the occa- sion will possess unusual interest. The Rev. Tuomas F. Davis, of this town, will deliver an oration before the Literary So- cieties on Wednesday. University of Virginia.—The Charlotts- ville Advocate of the 24th of last month, says: “The measures adopted for sup- pressing the late riots and banishing their authors from the precincts, having been signally successful, tranquility has been restored and the lectures have this morn- ing been resumed. EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS. “The Washington “Union” gives this offi- cial contradiction to the rumor of an extra ses- sicn : “‘ Some of the newspapers and letter. writers ‘in Washington have alluded to an extra ses- ‘sion of Congress. It has been said this pro- ‘ peeitien was discussed in the Cabinet one day ‘last week, (Monday, we believe.) As such ‘annunciations are only calculated to produce *an undue impression on the public mind, and ‘to display a degree of excitement on the part ‘of the Cabinet which does not exist, we deem * it best at once to contradict the rumor.” Baptist Church and Slavéry.—The Bap- tist Board of Foreign Missions having de- clared that they can appoint no one as missionary having slaves, and insisting upon holding them as his property, the Virginia Board have appointed a Conven- tion, to be held in Augasta, (Ga.) in May next, to confer on the means of pro- 7, ao 7 Messrs.

This is precisely the case as stated in the Hartford Courant, and unless there are some ve- ry strong explanatory circumstances to mitigate the enormity, it is one of the most flagrant frauds ever committed, and at the same time the trans- action was as foolish as it was fraudulent; for it is not possible that Ellsworth will be permit- ted to take his seat. We know of nothing par- allel to this proceeding unless it be the conduct of the moderator of a meeting in Colchester a year or two since, (a certain Mr. Bulkley,) who voted twice on the same occasion—once in his “ primary capacity” and once more as presi- ding officer, entitled to the casting vote. A correspondent of the Buffalo Courier, wri- ting from Chicago, April 26, says : “ A terrific tornado passed over us on Thurs- day afternoon. It had, through the day, been blowing a gale from the northeast. About six o’clock a dense black cloud came booming across the prairie from the west with graceful rapidity and magnificence, which soon envel- oped us in the darkness of night. The meet- ing or concussion of the clouds two or three miles out upon the lakes, driven by the contend- ing winds, was inconceivably grand : the force of the storm was nearly spent when it reached us, and no very serious damage was done, al- though several buildings were unroofed, and chimneys, boards, and shingles were the Storm King’s playthings ; but, in the country, its rav- ages were fearfully destructive. Ihave seena list of more than thirty houses entirely destroy- ed on the road from St. Charles to this place ; the fences are all prostrated, and, what is far more deplorable, several lives are lost and ma- ny limbs are fractured.

I am inclined to think that the fury of the storm did not extend far out on the lake, and that most vessels known to be out were beyond its reach,” 0<~ The Cherokee Country is represented by | the Tahlequah Advocate to be in a state of un- | usual quietude, and the peoplé-are rapidly: ad. | vancing in education and civilization. The farmers were not idle. Many finished planting from thirty to fifty acres of corn the last week in March; many others, who on the 10th of April had from fifty to an hundred acres planted, were not yet done. In many sections corn and Irish potatoes were already up—the oats and wheat crops looked fine, and an abundant harvest was anticipated. White Path, who had been running at large since 1839, charged with the murder of Samu- el Ratcliff, has been arrested, and was to have been tried on the 9th ultimo. Proctor and Barrow, charged with the murder of Bill High. wass, were tried about the Ist ultimo and ac- quitted. The Raleigh Register of the 9th inst., says: “*‘ Barney, leave the Girls alone.’ Two or three persons arrived here yester- day morning in the Cars, from Norfolk, Va. in hot pursuit of a man named Pritch- ett, who had run off with the wife of a Mr. Homes, taking along sundry small trifles such as Silver Spoons, money, bed furniture,&c. They got upon their track, soon after leaving Norfolk, and followed them to this place, where they were found, living at one of our Hotels, as man and wife. Pritchett was arrested and brought before the Intendant, for examination, the articles being found in his possession, but he begged so hard to be taken back to Norfolk for trial, that the persons in pur- suit, thought it better to save the trouble of the Governor’s demand, and acceded to his request—taking back Pritchett, the wife, spoons and all.” LaveHas_E.—The Democratic Association in Norristown “ went and held,” a meeting a few days since to sustain the Executive, &c. relative to Oregon. Speeches were made, res- olutions adopted, and all the customary move- ments of a well-drilled squad were performed. How ridiculous! Why, have they Collec‘ors, District Attorneys, Naval Officers, &c. in Nor- ristown? Was there not somebody io tell the Democrats of that ancient borough that the meeting in Philadelphia was intended as a bum- bug, or resulted in something worse? What imitative animals some people are! The fol- lowing resolution was adopted : “ Resolved, That as Great Britain has twice failed in attempts to conquer us—once in our fear her now, since we have grown to vigorous manhood. A third attempt on her part would robably prove as disastrous to her us the third nic war to ancient Carthage.” Tremendous! But while something is said about a Punic war, we hear nothing of “ Punic faith.”—U., S$. Gazette. é' The Hon.

Inthisrespect, the article of which we are speaking offers, distinctly, the se- cond part of the printed Jrvetesttis of that policy, of which the first point was lately disclosed, in the avowal for the Ca- binet that we wére to negotiate, not fight, for Oregon. After celebrating the President as “ at work early and late,” and the Secretary of State as having an immense burden of diplomatic difficulties upon his | —Artlantean shoulders, fit to bear The weight of mightiest monarchies, the “Union” very felicitously applies to him, before a victory, what Commodore Decatur modestly waited until after one to say—* that he had had an excellent op- portunity to distinguish himself;” a thought of which we must think the grace. consis- ted altogether in the heroic diffidence af- ter success. As used, it is applying to Mr. Buchanan in advance all tHe merit which the bravest of sailors disclaimed in the midst of his exploits. The “ Union” then proceeds to dispense a proper sufficiency uf commendation to the rest of the Secre- taries ; for how could any have been omit- ted, or indeed less bountifully served, with- out offence? And coming to Mr. Walk- er, it says: “ The Secretary or THE Treasury is pro- verbial for his industry, and marked for his sagacity. He, too, is constant in the execution of his duties; and it gives us more pleasure to state than we can well express, that he is actively engaged in col- lecting fr@m all parts of the country every information that may be necessary to as- sist him in the management of our finan- ces. We have no doubt that he will be prepared to lay before Congress a large body of the most useful statistics, so as to enable them, without loss of time, and with the aid of the best materials, to pro- ceed in forming the best, and wisest, and most nearly equal system of revenue that can be adopted. We have little doubt that the Secrétary will at least do his part in bringing the Treasury back to a fair, equal, and jast®evenue standard, and in equalizing the public burdens. The pre- sent tariff can scarcely stand as the per- manent system of this great country. It is too unequal in itself—too oppressive upon some interests, too partial to others —too favorable to the rich, too burden- some to the poorer classes of the commu- nity. The sooner it is reduced, the better for all. It is better even for the manv- facturers themselves to understand on what they are to calculate. It is better for the rich capitalists, to have moderate and stable duties than those which are too high, and, on that account, never fixed, but always unpopular and always fluctu- ating. It is better for the tranquility of the Administration—better for the pros- perity of the whole people.” So, then! This is the realization of the assurances held out to Pennsylvania du- ring last year’s canvass! This is the ve- rification of the personal declarations ef certain distinguished Democratic leaders, the Pennsylvania especially, that they knew Mr. Polk to be a better friend of the Tariff (of 1842) than Mr. Clay! This, finally, is the real meaning of the “ Letter to John K. Kane!” “ Tue sooner THE Ta- RIFF IS REDUCED, THE BETTER FOR ALL!” “ J¢ is too unequal in itself—too oppressive up- on some interests, too partial to others—too favorable to the rich, too burdensome to the poorer classes of the community.” We are to have “the best, wisest, and most nearly EQUAL system of revenue that can be a- dopted.” The Treasury is to be “ brought back toa fair, equal, and just revenue stan- dard, and the public burdens equalized.” Is there any doubt—can there be any doubt, what this, if honest, signifies 7— Who can mistake the drift of these decla- rations? The highest duties in this Ta- riff are oniron, coal, salt, hemp, and coarse cottons and woollens—on the main arti- cles of our own manufacturing production, that is to say. It is the taxes on coarse articles that are “ burdensome to the poor:” they must, then, be reduced to the “rev- enue standard”—probably one-half; for this “revenue” theory is, that you are to place the highest duties on those things which can be most largely and cheaply supplied from abroad, and that low duties on such will afford more revenue than high. Sugar, hemp, and bagging, coal, iron, lead, wheat, potatoes, coarse cloth- ing of all sorts, whiskey, vinegar, butter, cheese, oil, fish, provisions of all sorts, pa- per, coarse carpets, tools of all sorts, Le. are to come in at “ revenue duties.” Our vont may shut up, our forges stop, our spindles forget to turn. To carry Texas, South Carolina had, for the moment, to be sacrificed to the North; but the Administration fears her opposition and must a her in tarn by sacrificing the Tariff! eastern part of the died on Sunday last, at his residence ir 4 “Me eel ministration.

The Mexican nation calls upon her sons to defend their national © independence, threatened by the usurpation of the territory of Texas, which is sought to be consummated by a decree passed by Congress.and sanctioned b the President of the United States. “Second. ‘Therefore the Government will consider itself at liberty (podra poner) to call forth its entire permament and active military force, agreeably to the authority given to it by existing laws. “ Third, For the preservation of public or. der, and the maintenance of her institutions, , and if necessary, as a reserve for the army, the Government, in virtue of the power granted to it on the 8th of December, 1844, may levy the troops to which said decree refers, under the name of defenders of independence and the laws. y “ Fourth. With a view to the efficient main. . tenance of the rights of the Republic, the Go- . vernment is authorized to procure ail extraordi- nary resources which may be deemed necessa- rp, making known to Congress the mecessary steps to be taken, conformable to the Constitu- tion.” We do not perceive that any action was had on the above propositions by the Mexican Con- gress. Thc occurrence of another earthquake, which did great damages to persons and proper- ” ty, and caused considerable alarm among the people, and induced the Chamber. of Deputies to order the sessions of Congress to be held temporarily in another building, and for several, days it was impossible to obtain the attendance of a quorum of members for the transaction of business. As late as the 16th great numbers of the inhabitants, fearful of further shocks, bad not returned to the city. It is evident, howev- er, that the Government and People of Mexico ~ are decidedly indisposed to surrender Texas, and the tone of the public journals is exceed- ingly warlike. The New Orleans Republican . (an annexation paper) says: “The journalists continue to pour on our de- voted heads the vials of 7 os us as rapacious usurpers, hungry and ne ne glo-Baxoen whose {ors eyes. Cae om. brace in anticipation the whole of the fair pro- vinces south of us, from California to the Bay of Panama. Senor Cuevas’s late rt, however, seems to have opened the eyes of our Mexican. neighbors to one fact, which is,that Texas is” forever lost to their Confederation. The editor of the Siglo XIX, states that the enidence, © of Texas and annexation are two” things. With the former there may’ cessity for war—with the latter, it ign He says that Minister Cuevas, in isin, words in his report, spoke the sentimer whole Mexican nation.” gee oD The Republican also states, on the’authority of a gentleman who left Matamoras about the 25th ultimo, that news had been received there that the Mexican Congress were considering 4 bill to close the ports of that copntry against all American vessels: we are glad to learn, is likely to ¢ Bee mtice this sammer,, Ths present = - = 2 _ o ’ 4 ae ‘ ; ‘ | ae SS a ee ee er {A %% 2 d : . t nc sapere en See h, whe of the speech of Daniel O’Con-| wees oe t ; tly deli in Dublin before at | ich were rejected which we ot xi , recently delivered in. of th Char which we sively aie jeans fact. “ic athe the Iriel.

STATEMENT OF Ma. McGONEGAL'S WHEAT CROP. The kind of soil on which my crop of wheat was grown, is a sandy loam. The previous crop was wheat, which I harves- ted two years before and seeded with clo- ver in the spring before harvesting. The next summer, after the clover began to head, I tarnéd in my cattle, and soon after commenced ploughing the lot, which has aboot fifty acres in it ; that part measur- ed off was ploughed about the middle of of the-door by his pedi. out. of the-door by Ded, ately after.tu round to hisclerk that ieliinewe: us any thing.

CORN. | Mr. Rufus Beckwith received the first | premium for the best acre of corn—pro- | duct one hundred and twenty-six bushels | of shelled corn. It grew on a dark grav- | elly. loam, approximating to black sand. The preceding crop was wheat without | manure ; two years previously seeded with | timothy and pastured two years. The a- | cte of corn was manured with thirty loads | of barn yard manure. The ground was) ploughed eight or ten inches deep, and thoroughly harrowed. The corn was! planted in drills three and a half feet a- | part, the plants 12 to_eighteen inches a-| part. The seed was the large eight row- | ed variety. The first working was with between the drills. Besides the corn, Mr. cart loads of pumpkins. ture, Mr. Beckwith estimates at fifteen dollars. ¢ OATS. mium for the best acre of oats. He raised els. The soil was clay loam: The pre- vious crop corn, Which was manured with ten loads of barnyard manure. The oat crop received twelve loads of the same kind of manure. The ground was plough- ed once and harrowed. The oats, when sowed, were harrowed in by two harrow- ings. Four and a half bushels of seed Was sown on the acre. .The land was the following month. The entire cost of thrashing is estimated at-$11 124.

It isa fact well known-in Prague, that the water of the wells in that town is better adapted for use in making coffee than the river water; comparative analysis of the water indicates that this depends on thé carbo- nate of soda contained in the former.— Pleischl found this opinion corroborated by the fact, that a small quantity of the ones oo to Coffee improves its flavor, t advises constquently the addition.of 48 grains of the pure carbonate o ‘each pound of roasted Coffee, as_an_improve- ment to the flavor and also to the thera- peutic effect of this beverage, as it neu- tralises the acid, contained in oe infusio as ; harmaceuticul Jo To pr put two of milk— # een ee = every. pail, 4 will greatly im- of butter, ~ SEEM pare het re ~ ia 4 h fire, - a Beckwith raised on the same ground 20 | The whole ex- | pense of manure, seed, and labor of cul- | Mr. Adin Manly received the first pre- | on the acre eighty-seven and a half bush- | ploughed in April, but was not s6wn until | manure, seed, culture, harvesting, and | ee Milk.—In very wattn weather | ; He had taken a tract of land at Green Bay for a debt of $5000, whielhe had in- structed his agent at Mackinaw tosell for the same money. For several years no one bid for it. During’ the rage of land speculations in that country, a New York speculator named B. had seen it, and ask- ed the agent if it was for sale, and the price. The agent, thinking it might pro- bably be worth something more than $5000, asked what he would give! The -ther told him he wouldgive $50.000 forit. agency, and little aware of the revolu- tions going on around him, was amazed. ‘I think you can have it, bat I must.con- sult Mr. Astor—I have not the least doubt, however, but that he will give it to-you.’ Mr. Astor’s answer was to this effect— I had no idea it was worth so much. There | is no better judge of the value of proper- | 200 | ty than Mr. B., and if it is worth $50,000 | to him, it is worth $50,000 to me—tell him he can’t have it.’ - It now forms part of the town of Green Bay, laid off by Mr. Astor in lots, and sold for an immense.,amount in 1835 and ’36.—Pittsburgh American. A THRILLING INCIDENT. The Rev. Dr. Beecher, in an article he | i scarcely any public occurrence bas happened | The agent, a matter-of-fact man, who con- | | fined himself closely to the business of his | recently furnished for the Young Reader, | tells the following touching story: “A few years since, as the Rev'd. Jos. Davis, an excellent Baptist Minister in London, was walking along one of the crowded streets of that city, his attention | was arrested by the circumstance that a carriage with several horses was just a- bout to pass over a little girl Who was slowly crossing the road. felt the danger of the child, and forgeting his own, he ran, snatched her im his arms, and hastened with her to the side path, when the thought struck him—what would the parents of this dear child have felt | | had she been killed! the cultivator, the second and last was | with the plough, ploughing two furrows | At this moment he looked in the face of the little girl, which had been concealed from his view by her bonnet—and imagine; if-you ean, his feel- ings when he discovered that it was his own daughter! I saw him about half an hour after the occurrence, and-I-shall ne- ver forget his agitation as he described to me her danger, or his expression of thank- fulness to an infinite gracious Being who thus delivered his beloved child from ' death.” GOOD BREEDING. The following hints are offered by some critic, who has been a close observer of men and manners. He thinks it an im- portant subject, and asks the attention of all the careless to the list of transgressions: | He ‘strongly | | do without exposing myself to improper impu- | Scription, which is so simple and effectual | would give notice to those who may wish to obtain in- should find its way into the hands of his | surance on goods, buildings, &c., that they can havettheir fellow-men. | | | } ! “Loud and harsh speaking, making | noises in eating or drinking, leaning awk- | wardly while sitting, rattling knives @nd | and rushing unceremoniously out of a room, tossing any thing away with indifference any one when there is little room to pass, (a grievous practice in this city,) stepping before any one who is looking at any ob- | ject particularly, pushing or jostling any | one without apologizing, taking possession | of a seat that belongs to another, intrad- | | ing opihions when they are not sought or ly on the shoulder, interrnpting a person | who is in. conversation, telling long, tedi- | ous, or humdrum. stories, whispering in | company, making remarks on the dress of | those about you, or upon things in a room | where you are, flatly.contradicting a per- Son, using slang phrases, (a very common _habit,) interlarding our‘8peech with for- _ eigu phrases, (well hit off in the new com- - of Fasbiou,) repeating the words, says eC. sind bing umn oa he ae | stand, helping yourself first at the table, A hewda ti ’ th using. @ fork as a toothpick, scratching the head, putting the fingers in the ears, clean- ing,or paring the nails before. company ; mentioning. the. price. r any, thing.when it is. offered to.a questions letters.” —— where they give offence, leaving acquain- | tances in the street or in a private circle | the merry laugh of children, to scare them a- _ without bid@ing good bye or courteously | way and make life cheerful and happy. saluting them, slapping apy one familiar-" yt forks when at table, starting up suddenly | soon killed by the resolute Editor. or contempt, receiving anything without | thanking the giver, standing in the way of , ; | | | | which give pain,and neglecting to answer © | Tiave long entertained for that church sen- timents of profound-esteem and regard, and I have the happiness of num among its members some of the best friends [ have in the world.

It was therefore with the deepest regret that I heard, in the course of the past year, of the danger of a division of the church, in conse- quence of a difference of opinion existing on the delicate and unhappy subject of slavery. A di- | vision, for sucha cause, would be an event greatly to be deplored; both on account ‘of the church itself and its political tendency. Indeed, for a long time that gave me so, much real con- cern and pain as the menaced separation of the church by a line throwing all the free States on one side and all the slave States on the other. I will not say that such separation would ne- cessarily produce a dissolution of the political Union of these States; but the example would be fraught with imminent danger, and, in co- operation with other causes unfortunately exist- ing, its tendency on the stability of the confed- eracy would be perilous and alarming. Entertaining these views, it would afford me the highest satisfaction to hear of an adjustment of the controversy, a reconciliation between the opposing parties in the church, and the preser- vation of its unity. I limit myself to the political aspect of the subject, without expressing any opinion on ei- ther of the plans of compromise and settlement which have been published, which I could not tations. With fervent hopes and wishes'that some ar- rangerhent of the difficulty may be devised and agreed upon which shall preserve the church in union and harmony, I am, respectfully, your obedient servant.

As we understand the matter, there is no such thing as “a government press” in London, nor even a single paper in that city with which the British ‘Ministry holds any confidential communication ; the views of the Govern- ‘ment of that country in regard to pend- ing questions being, as we have had oc- ‘fasion lately to remark, made known through the Ministers in both Houses of Parliament, so far as it is deemed expedi- nt to. give publicity to them. ing articles.of the London Press are, it is true, generally very able. and usually, we »,May say habitually, mordant towards oth- _,etenations, in every thing pertaining to ~ National, commercial, or political rivalry; “but are of no more consequence, in refer- «£0¢e to the particular purposes of the Brit- +jsh Government, than, for example, the thousand and one reports and conjectures “Tecently set afloat from this city through ~sall the newspapers of the country, con- “gerning the.purposes of this Government, > Exec ae tere > “in this city, has been sufficient’ . .

Of the members of the Administration, one at least, and he the one through whom Foreign Ministers hold ' intercourse with thisGovernment, has been abroad in the capacity of Foreign Minis- | ter—has studied and observed the courte- -sies due between Ministers and the Gov- ernments to which they are accredited ; and he owes it to himself to interpose to | prevent appeals such as this from being | made through the government press to the | personal knowledge and opinions of Min- | isters.with whom he may be engaged, as | in this case he actually is, in the most deli- cate negotiations.

Had it not been for the conservative course’ of the Carolina Senators in the last Congress, (says.the Savannah Republican,) the country would at this moment be involved ina war with England.. ‘Two.votes would have decided. the question in the Senate, and passed the House bill which provided for the immediate occupa- tion of the Oregon tefritory by our Government. Whatever may be the result of the controver- sy, it is a matter of congratulation that those gentlemen had the wisdom and the foresight to | defer, for a time at least, the necessity of an ac- It remains to be seen whether the Southern wing of the Democracy will regard their wise counsels, or follow the Globe in its rabid and reckless course. The speech of Mr. Calhoun in the Senate, in January, 1843, on the subject of Oregon, lately re-published, meriting particular attention in the present state of affairs between England and America, we make several extracts from it. Mr. Calhoun said: “Has the time arrived when it would be wise and prudent for us to attempt to assert and main. tain our exclusive right to the territory, against the adverse and conflicting claim of Great Brit- ain? the decisive reason, because the attempt, it made, must prove unsuccessful against the re- sistance of Great Britain. take nor hold it against her ; and that fora rea- son not less decisive, that she could in a much shorter time, and at far less expense, concen- trate a far greater force than we could in the territory. ‘*We seem to forget, in the discussion of this subject, the great events which have occurred in the eastern portion of Asia during the last year, and which have so greatly extended the power of Great Britain in that quarter of the Globe. She has there, in that period, termina- ted successfully two wars; by one of which | she has given increased quiet and stability to her possessions in India, and by the other has firmly planted her power on the eastern coast | of China, where she will undoubtedly keep up, | at least fur a time, a strong military and naval force, for the purpose of intimidation and strengthening her newly acquired possession. The point she occupies there on the western | | Shore of the Pacific, is almost directly opposite | to the Oregon territory, at the distance.of about | five thousand five hundred miles {rom the mouth | of Columbia river, with a tranquil ocean be- | tween, which may be passed over in six weeks. In that short time, she might place, at a moder- ate expense, a strong navaland military force at the mouth of that river, where a formidable body | of men, as hardy and energetic as any on this | | continent, in the service of the Hudson Bay Company, and numerous tribes of Indians under | its control, could be prepared to sustain and co- operate with it. her claim to the territory against ours, shou!d they be brought into collision by this bill. “T now turn to examine our means of con- centrating an opposite furce by land and water, should it become necessary to maintain our claim. We have no military or naval position in the Pacific ocean. Our fleet would have to sail from our own shores, and would have to cross the line and double Cape Horn, in 56 de- ' grees of south latitude ; and, turning north, re- cross the line, and ascend to l/atitude 46 north, in order to reach the mouth of Columbia river. a distance from New York (over the straightest and shortest line) of more than thirteen thous- | and miles, and which would require a run of more than eighteen thousand of actual sailing, on the usual route. Instead of six weeks, the voyage would require six months. I speak on the authority of one of the most experienced of- ficers attached to the Navy Department. “These facts are decisive. We could do nothing by water. As far as the element is concerned, we could not oppose to her a gun or a soldier in the territory. * But, as great as are the iinpediment by wa- ‘ter, they are, at present. not much less by land.

Ona greater portion of this long march the force would be liable to be attacked and harrassed by numerous and war- like tribes of Indians, whose hostilities might be readily turned against us by the British tra- ders. To march such a distance, without op- position, would take upwards of one hundred and twenty days, assuming the march to be at the usual rate for military forces. Should it be impeded by the hostilities of Indians, the time would be greatly prolonged. ‘‘T now ask, how could any considerable force sustain itself in so long a march, through | A small de- | tachment might live on game; but that re- | a region so destitute of supplies ? source would be altogether inadequate to the But, admitting an army ' eould find sufficient supplies to sustain itself on We have had our eye on the article in| i the “ Democratic Review” which is above } | | referred to, proposing, when at leisure, to | | review the Review. | that the Administration adopts and avows it. “By doing so, however, our purpose of we shall now lose no time in doing it. - > * 45 Mts. i tg 4 * + ad oS 2 eS, a ae, ; 39 , ee ag ’ . e Weare sorry to see, answering the articlesis confirmed ; and, 4 on the.

And -here let me say, whatever may be the doubts of oth- ers, surely they who have, in this discussion, in- sisted so strongly on her power, her jealousy, and her determination to hold the territory, can- not doubt that she would resist. _ If, indeed, pro- voking language can excite her to resistance, or if half which has been said of her hostilie’ dis- | position be true, she not only would resist, but at while we are comparatively so weak and she so strong in that quarter. However unfavorable the time might be for us, fur her it would be’ the most propitious. * Her vast resources and military power in the East are liberated and at her disposal, to be directed to assert and maintain ber exclusive claim to the territory against ours if she should | determine to follow our example, in case this bill should pass. Even I, who believe that the pre- sent Ministry is disposed to peace, and that Sir Robert Peel has exhibited great wisdom and | moderation—mode ration in the midst of splendid ' success, and therefore more to be trusted—do | not doubt she” would resist, if we should adopt this measure. We must not forget, as clear as | we believe our title to be, that the right to the | territory is in dispute between the two countries ; and that, as certain as we regard our right to be, she regards hersasnotlessso. It isacase of adverse conflicting claims ; and we may be assured, if we undertake to assert our exclusive rights, she will oppose us by asserting hers; and if the appeal should be to force, to decide between us at present, the result would be iney- itable—the territory would be lost to us. In- deed, this is so incontestable, that no one has ventured to deny it; and there is no hazard in asserting that no one will who understands the ness of his judgment questioned.” THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

These sales include (with considerable additions) the bodies of land of which the sales were | , advertised to take place in January and February last, but which sales were, in ' December last, ordered to be indefinitely postponed. The first sale at Dubuque comprises 378,- 060 acres of land situated on the Mako- | queta river and its branches, at an aver- | age distance of twenty-five miles south of | the town of Dubuque, and extending west The quality of the soil is good, with a suf- ficient supply of timber for farming pur- poses.

LIFE OF HENRY CLAY. | The N. Y. Correspondent of the Cincin- nati Gazette, in a recent letter, gives the following interesting notice of the docu- | ments, &c., never before published, from | which Rev. Calvin Colton is preparing a Memoir of Mr. Cray. The work will be looked for with great interest: “ Mr. Colton has passed the winter with Mr. Clay, and obtained all the documents | necessary for a complete life. while no /man is more able to put them into shape , and order than he. Added to this, Mr. | Clay has given up all the papers relative to the great “ bargain and sale” question. | They alone form a hundred pages of notes, proving the statements made in the text. These documents, Mr. Colton tells me, make developments that are perfectly as- tounding, and goto show that all the bar- gaining was on the side of Jackson and his friends. It is proved by them that Buchanan came to Mr, Clay from Gen’l. | Jackson with a direct offer, andthat Hous- ton also went to Roane with another di- rect offer. The snarl into which it gets Buchanan, Jackson, Eaton, &c.. is perfect- ly laughable. Jackson, in his after at- tempts to get out of the dilemma, when he found that Clay wastoo noble tobe bought, “annihilates Buchanan, and Buchanan in endeavoring to throw the burden from his shoulder, drives the General to the wall, | while Gen. Eaton eats them both up.— The disclosures exhibit the Jackson men of that period who surrounded their favor- | ite candidate, in a most ludicrous light, while it fastens a blot on Buchanan’s fore- head he will find it- impossible to wipe ‘out. Hitherto Mr. Clay has refrained from making these disclosures out of regard for Bachanan. But now as his life is to be written for posterity, and he is to take his ‘true position in the constellation of great _and good men, and bis own life is draw- ing to a close, the call for every thing that is needed to clear his character from the aspersions made against it, is too loud and imperious to be disregarded. His very forbearance shows how well his enemies know him. They felt they could trust to his magnanimity while they allowed a charge to rest against him they could at any time destroy.” WV Snocxinc.—The Miners’ Journal states that a distressing accident occurred in the mines of Messrs.

But Mr. Ow- én shrank with apparent trembling from the appellation of “ Infidel ;” if they could only drop that name, and go forward on power on carih, he believed, could with- stand the operations of this Convention.

All this the government | paper might have shown in justification of its unusual mode of handling questions of such im- | portance and delicacy ag those which concern our foreign relations. All this, and more, the government paper might have eaid, and said it, we dare say, to the delight and edification of its readers, Bat, abstaining from direet reply to us, which was-perhaps politic, and which at any rate it had a perfect right to-do, the government paper is not justified in allowing an anonymous. cir. respondent to. stand behind its back and dartéts poisoned shafis.at us, sit hasdonein admitting into. its columns a communicated article;-in which-we find the following passage : “The National Intelligencer is: not, indeed, so far as» known, THE oncan of tho Brifish Governmen ; for such exctusiveness might con- flict with its engagements to the Mexicans.

Justice is no respecter of persons, but Mr. Polk, it seems, knows how to discriminate between a member of Congress and a Licutenant of the Navy.

Happily, the F ree Church hag not. yet made this decision. On the 12th of March this subject was call. | ed up in the Presbytery of Edinburg, by an overture of the Rev. Dr. Duncan, who indulged in great severities against the Americans. He was followed by Mr, Gray, on the same side. Among the “pointed expressions of the latter, were such as those : “ Have we separated our- selves from our moderate brethren, to form an alliance with men-stealers? Do we remove fromtis@ brother that walketh disorderly,—a d | a fornicator, an adulterer,—to unite ou ely : ‘with fornicators,—such even as are h damong gentiles,—even polluted in. jancers of marriage rights, men-steal- sellers of their own offapring, blood of innocents, leprous wit He was followed by Dr. Cunningham, who, in & diseourse of great length, ability and.cour- age, vindicated the American churches from the charges made, while he disavowed all sym- | pathy with thé *institutions of slavery. Mr. Gray réjoinédjand was succeeded by Mr. Guth- rie {Whose speech, as coming from one of the most eloguént ministers of Scotland, it seems proper to give almost entire. It was called out bya motion of the celebrated Dr. Candlish, to leave the whole matter in the hands of the as- sembly. “Mr. Guthrie, in seconding Dr. Candlish’s motion, said he considered that the prevailing sin of Christian churches in times past, had | . : a : , a perceived the moral sufferings of my companions | been the imposition of too many tests, and too | " great a pronieness to excommunicate each oth- | er; and now the church had a new test propos- ed by his learned friend, Dr. Duncan. learned professor would at one stroke exeom- municate all the christian churches of the slave States of North America; and as Nero wish- | ed that Rome had had but a single neck, that he might decapitate the city at a blow, my | learned and reverend friend, by the success of | this motion, Cuts off at a stroke five millions of christians.on the other side of the Atlantic.— (Hear, hear. ) His principle is one not maintained by the no. | ble men who fought the battle of the negro’s | freedom in.our colonial possessions, and struck from-his limbs the fetters of the slave. And, as Dr. Candlish has well shown, though Chris- tianity and Slavery have existed together in the world for nineteen centuries, the discovery is new; thatthe toleration of slavery forms a good ground of excommunication. Nothing short of cleat Scriptural authority would warrant this Church to take the very grave and solemn step involved in the-motion of the reverend Doctor ; and I challenge Dr. Duncan to lay his finger on any passage of the word of God, which com- pels me—which would warrant me—to excom- munieate these Christian Churches, because | they donot make slave-holding a bar to office tndordinance. (Hear.) Let Dr. Duncan car- ry out his principle, and sce where it will lead him.

RONGE THE REFORMER. | John Ronge was born in 1813, at Bischofs- isheep. During those long hours of solitude,” ' he tells us himself, “ in this simple pastoral life, _ learning the catachism and the Bible-history beside my flocks, my thoughts frequently dwelt | on religious subjects, on the life to come, on my present destination ; and these reflections ofien | left impressions on me of deep melancholy.” — | After receiving the first elements of education at his village school, and passing through the classes of the gymnasium at Nessie, young | Ronge repaired to the University, where he ap- plied himself to the study of theology. In 1839, he entered the Seminary, and it was | | there, as he informs us, that his eyes were open- | _ed to perceive the moral and religious condition _of the clergy.

The real arsenal of these fetters is the seminary; it is there, that they stamp on the young man the seal of bond- age. From the first days of my entrance into the seminary, I could read in the countenances _of my fellow-students, according to the differ. ences of their disposition, consternation, an- guish, or the resignation of despair. The first | evening, five pupils, who lay in the same room with me, did not give utterance to a single word ; shut up in himself,each sought repose in si- | lence. Forty young men in the flower of youth, | glided through the dim obscurity like mummies, | and although they spoke not, we sought in the countenances of one another, what was passing | in the heart. ‘The most subjugated endeavor- | | ed to rise to that kind of heroism, which in one | day sacrifices its youth and its liberty ; and un- | | der this oppression, the heart of the young man of twenty-four, so confiding and affectionate was smothered.” Ronge terminates this gloomy description by | a pathetic appeal to fathers and mothers, be- | secching them not to send their sons to these 'tombs of moral liberty. He would himself, | | have shaken off the yoke, even befure the end | of the year which he behoved to spend at the seminary, it he had not been sustained by the | hope, that, having once entered on the discharge | of his functions, he would enjoy sufficient liber- | ty, in preaching, or in the religious instruction ot | youth, and in schools, to open for himself a sphere of action, conformed to his convictions, and his innate propensities to freedom. Hav- ing become chaplain in the small city of Grott- kau, he set courageously to work, acquired the confidence of his parish, and found his enjoy- | ment in the instruction of a free and happy youth. But some lines sent toa journal, ina moment of just indignation, blighted, as far as his prospects \in the church were concerned, the fruits of ten or fifteen years’ study. The Roman Catholics have made a great clamor about the dismissal of Ronge from his charge, in order to enfeeble the terrible blow which he lately gave to Romanism in his letter to the bishop of Treves. deprivation was this. The diocesan chapter of Breslau had elected to the bishoprick of that city an old man of eighty years, respected and and beloyed on account of his moderation, and the mildness of his disposition. But it was pre- | cisely on this ground, that for two years they | waited in vaiu for the act of his ¢onfirmation from Rome. What the whole diocese thought, , and spoke in whispers, Ronge had the boldness | to speak aloud. He asked the public, in a let- | | ter signed A Chaplain, what could be the rea- | sons of the court of Rome for depriving a dio- | cese of its superior pastor for two entire years | —why they inflicted on a venerable old man that | disgrace—and “ whether they expected the re. | turn of the times in which it was necessary to send to Rome a mule loaded with gold for the | creation of abishop.” ‘Inde ire!

HUME AND HIS MOTHER. It seems that Hume received a religious ed- ucation from his mother, and early in life was the subject of strong and hopeful religious im- pressions ; but as he approached to manhood, they were effaced, and confirmed infidelity suc- ceeded. at the first, came to look with less and less pain Maternal partiality, however alarmed upon this declaration, and filial love and rever- ence seem to have been absorbed in the pride | of philosophical skepticism ; for Hume now ap- plied himself with unweayied, and unhappily, with successful efforts, to sap the foundation of his mother’s faith. Having Succeeded in this dreadful work, he went abroad into forcign countries; and as he was returning, an expresa met him in London, with a letter from his moth. er, informing him that she was ina deep decline and could not long survive ; she said she found herself without any support in her distress ; that be had.taken away that source of comfort upon which in all cases of affliction she used to rely, and that now she found her mind sinking into despair; she did not doubt that her son would afford her some substitute for her reli- gion; and she conjured him to hasten home, or at least to send her a letter, containing such consolations as philosophy can afford toa dying mortal.

With a modes- ty acquired, of course, among the cannibals, one inhabitant gently pressed aside the interpreter, and, to the question of what he wanted, replied, that “his honor should yive him a hatchet for his childers.” Great was the astonishment of the captain to ascertain that beneath the bushy head and oiled skin before him beat the heart of an Irishman, who, to the question of what he was doing there, replied, “raising pigs, hens and children.” The pigs and hens did not mul- tiply rapidly, but Patrick was the happy father of “Forty-eight Children,” and was living in the hopes of two more that very year.

He was at play with other children on the wharf, at one of the small landings on the sea board, and fell into the water. Fall ten minutes elapsed before he was recovered from the water. When taken out he was toall appearance dead. They commenced rubbing him and | applying warm applications to his body, and sent two miles for the nearest physi- cian.

MR. WORTH AND GEN. DOCKERY. — After all, we are ‘to have a contest in this district ; a contest between friends, and we trust a friendly contest. It is known that. Jonataan Wortn, Esgq., of | Randolph, accepted a nomination for Con- gress from gentlemen of various counties of the distriet lately assembled:in conyen- } tion ‘at Ashbofo’. Gen. Atrrep Dockery, of Riehmond,,has also declared*himself a candidate for Congress. Both gentlemen were in town a few days the past week, being the week of our County Court, and.on Tuesday addressed a large assemblage of the citizens. Mr. Worn remarked that without so- licitation or any desire on his part, and | ; contrary to his expectation, he was nomi- nated by the Convention at Ashboro’, the proceedings of which were before the pub- | lic. With the getting up of that conven- | tion he had. nothing to do. He had seen | the proposition to hold such conv ention, | which he believed originated in the Patri- | ot, and approved the object for which it | was proposed, to wit, that of reconciling | any persona! or sectional difterences like- | le, or party, as to He! iis le question their hes, and feelings: “The eoptenti Ashboro’, he said, was not of that deserip- tion: two counties were not re ented at all; and the meetings held in the coun- ties of Montgomery, Anson and’Richniond were very sinall, held without sufficiently public notice, and a principal object with them. was to nominate Gov. Morehead.— During last winter in Raleigh, after it was understood that Mr. Deberry declined an- other canvass, Gen. D. had been frequent- ly consulted, and “had received numerous solicitations from various parts of the dis- trict to become a candidate ; and in fact such had been the natare of his. expres- sions to hisfriends thag he had in effect declared himself"a candidate in March. He took a trip to the West, where he was gone some time, and on retarnipg by Wadesboro’, at Anson court, he saw. his first intimation of a convention, emanating from the Patriot. He then “ stood still,” awaiting the action of the convention, be- fore which, however, he did not personal- ly authorize his name to go. Since then he had received numerous communications from all parts of the district, expressing dissatisfaction towards the action of the convention and strongly soliciting him to become a candidate. “And he was assur- ed, if he had not come out himself, there would have been opposition. Under these circumstances he was now soliciting the suffrages of the people. Gen. D. then proceeded to remark upon the state of parties and of the country for the purpose of arousing and animating the Whigs to their duty. and wont i into a brief Uiséussion of the great topics of pub- lie concern, in whith he sustained his char- acter as a bold Whig. Mr. Worn again rose and expressed regret that he. was placed in the attitude of one distracting the harmony ofthe par- ty, by the declaration of his competitor that he was a candidate in March—a mat- | ter which he then heard for the first time. He also remarked that, notwithstanding Gen. D's. unfavorable opinion of the con- vention, he was impressed with a belief that if Gen.

But shall we expect them to comply with the pledg- es given before the election? Wemay lookin vain, we fear: for it will bein perfect accord- ance with the acts of party if they ‘fail to déas they promised the People of the U. States, if there.is any risk to run—or any popularity to lose. These are the dearest objects of this federal party under the assumed name of De- mocracy. ‘The prosperity of the country about which they talked so lustily before the election, has been entirely forgotten, by their’ eagerness to. obtain the “spoils of office.” And if we may be permitted to form an opinion from what has transpired, the People need expect nothing from this democratic administration, at least, un- til the hungry appetites of the big fish of the party have been snugly provided for. But ato the Tariff, we think there is not any great danger, for the Northern portion of the party, who only secured the great States. of Pennsylvania and New York for Mr. Poux, by assuring the People that he was a better Tariff man than Mr. Cray, will hardly be willing to hazard their own popularity to gratify the re- fractory spirite of South Carolina—or the Vir. ginia abstractionisis. So, after all, it is quite probable, notwithstanding the intimations of the Washington Union, the present beneficent Ta- riff will not be seriously, if disturbed all ;— though we have no doubt strong exertions will be made to bring it down to what the chivalry are pleased to term a Revenue Tariff, to wit, | twenty per cent, THE ZOLL VEREIN TREATY. Great coinplaint was made, some months ago, by the Tylerites in particular, ot the Whig Sen- ators, who had refused to ratify the Zoll Verein treaty, especially - inthe-tobacco and cot- ton-growing region, because, as it was alledged, | its provisions were somewhat favorable to those | articles. ‘ing Locofoco pap@t amply exposes the stu- The annexed extract from a lead- | pity of the negotiators of that treaty, and vin- | dicates the wisdom of the course pursued in re- ‘Jation to it by the Whig majority in the Senate : From the New York Morning News. “ People aboad are aware of the grounds on | Verein] treaty negotiated by Mr. Wheaton.— It not only exacted more from this country than | it yielded in return, but by involving a question | of differential duties, was a direct invasion of | the powers of Congress under whose authority the existing duties are levied, This was not all.

Among other things in the vol- ume, there is the following laconic letter writ- ten by the Duke to Marshal Binxsronn;giving | an account of the Waterloo affair, soon after it took place, which as a description of the great battle by one of the great actors, is quite a cu- riosity : “ You will have heard of our battle of the 18th. Never did I see such a pounding match. Both were what the boxers’ call * ?~ Napo- leon did not manceuvre at all. He just moved forward in the old style, in columns, and was driven off in the old style. The only difference was, that he mixed cavalry with his infantry, and supported both with an enormous quantity of artillery. I had the infantry for some time in squares, and we had the French cavalry walking about as if they had been our own,— I never saw the British infantry behave so well.” Or Mr. Fox, the late British Minister to the United States, says the Nat. Intelligencer, be- ing about to leave Washington city, (in which he has resided since his official functions ceas- ed,) addressed a polite note to the Commission- er of Public Buildings on the 19th ultimo, offer- ing for the public gardens a number (scveral hundred) of roses and flowering shrubs grow- ing in his garden; which, we learn from the go- vernment paper, were thankfully accepted, and are now being transferred partly to the garden attached to the President’s House, and partly to the Capitol square. Warlike Preparations.—The British Whig, published in Kingston, Canada West, mentions the following rumors of warlike preparations there, but does not vouch for them. “ Eight regiments are ordered out im- mediately for Canada, and those going home this summer are stayed till further orders. In order to encourage the recruit- ing of soldiers for regiments of the line, the standard has been reduced one inch. (this is a fact.) . The dockyard at King- ston is forthwith to be put on ‘a full estab- lishment, and an Admiralty Commission- er will assume the command, under whose superintendence three iron steam frigates, of the largest class are to be built.

LAST LOVE AF. FAIR, BY WILLIAM BURNS. I believe the admission general that no boy passes his nineteenth year without having experienced at least one, tender , and eternal (of course) passion; apd that very few girls get fairly through their six- teenth year scathless of a romantic love. The tender sentiment is peculiar to the teens, and is something like the mumps and the measles—comes only once in a life time. Just as I was entcring the last half of | my nineteenth year, (it matters not how long ago that was) and beginning to think of whiskey, tobacco, and other modern evidences of manhood, I fell most despe- rately in love. I knew at the time that it was the maddest thing in the world to) voluntarily yield myself up to a passion, which is very cleverly caricatured by French cooks, when they put a live fowl before a slow fire and roast it gradually, for the purpose of swelling the heart ; but show me a youth whg listens to reason— if he have any—when his head, heart and other fixens are in a broil of tenderness, devotion, and romance—and I will con- fess that I was a greater fool than the ma- jority of my sex and age. “ The course of love” ran smoothly e- nough for some time—but this did not de- ceive me—I knew I should get to the ra- pids and whirlpools too soon for my own comfort. I was like the drunken Indian | in the canoe above the falls of Niagara. —I just took long draughts of the deli- | cious nectar, and allowed the little shal- lop of my fate to take its own way, and make the best bargain it could with the treacherous waves. My gentle resigna- | tion, however, did not make my sufferings | the lighter when the crisis came—lI stood | on the edge of the precipice—I looked pi- teously around for help—I shrieked in the | most pathetic and romantic tones—but it | wouldn’t do, over 1 went into the ‘mad- dened flood. I felt for an instant that it | was all up with me—and then there was | a blank. When I awoke again I found myself in bed very weak and very wretched. The | doctor told me that I had been threatened with inflamation of the brain, but that a rheumatic fever stepped in instead. What a cold bath to romance! J was dying of a broken Leart to be labelled rheumatic ! I hated the man from the moment, and swore to be revenged, and I kept my oath —his bill is unreceipted yet. My young readers—and_I am writing especially to them—will Know what the foregoing means, without explanation ; but least some sour, crabbed old maid. or fuz- zy old bachelor should accuse me of put- | ting nonsense into type, I will just add in| plain terms that after a most tender sea- | son of love, which commenhced in the warm | months and lasted till the cold, 1 was ve- ry politely informed by a very polite mo- ther, that | was a wild rake, an unprinci- | pled libertine, and that she looked upon my attentions to her daughter with dis- pleasure. [Tlere wasadamper; I arake! la libertine, who had never looked into a lady’s face without blushing ! The charge astonished me—the virtd- | ous Sarface, with less reason, was not | more indignant—but astonishment and if- dignation did no good—both ended as | said before, in: rheumatism. When] recovered, a most devoted friend of the parti@® handed me a pretty, three- | cornered note, the seal of which—white wax, of course—represented two hearts | very barbariously ran through with an ugly skewer. It (the note not the skewer) | was from my dear one, and fullof tender “« 3 antregrets,” ‘blig &o +. | ee 73 Ww = a? ee & FA Spee ois woe > bat wards erms a roken. i “4 sit affec- | tain J. W. she had regained her composure ; for I | have always observed that woman never | talks when she is excited—its a yell fora | smile, and either is not very pleasant. We laid great plans that night—elope- ment, hasty marriage; prayer for Ma’s | pardon—everything was fixed upon. In | the small hours of morning, I prepared to leave. I approached the window and | looked out—it was unsually dark. There is an especial proverb against jumping in the dark, but I did not think of it that mo- | ment—more’s the pity. | The farewell kiss was burning on my | lips—the soft adieu ringing. in my ears, so | | took the jump. Powers above |—what | a transition! I found myself immersed to | _the lips in a hogshead of warm meal slush | —a compound which, however good for fattening pigs, is not exactly calculated for a hot bath. How it got there, or how I got into it, | had no time to ascertain, for the loud baying of the dog called my at-) tention to anewdanger. The beef | held in my hand as I leaped from the window, fell into the hogshead, and I now contriv- ed to draw it out of the meal, with the hope of silencing the dog ere | attempted | to extricate myself from the unpleasant situation in which I was placed. But dogs, though they like beef very well. are not | particularly fond of Indian mea!—hot, as | I found to my cost. The enemy came on | with fierce yell !—as I held out the beef, a sudden flood of light exposed to me, and two or three grinning servants and a host of * family friends,” the ridiculous scene in which I was figuring. I attempted to rise and explain, as Mr. Wise did some time ago in Congress; but the dog deci- ded that I was out of order, and compell- ed me to duck my head quite under to a- void his springing. I arose but to hear peals of laughter, and dodge again in the same way from the vile animal, who con- tinued to leap over me with the agility of a cat, and ferocity of atiger. [thought my | time had come, and was about to resign myself to my fate with as much dignity as it was possible for me to exhibit in a hogshead, when. my persecutor relented and called the dog off. I was then taken out, soaped and allowed to depart—but | the story of my mishaps became known and I was greeted with laughs and deri- sion at every corner. Against this, however, I bore up brave- ly, till I was informed that the fair one for whom I had encountered all these perils, had played me false by marrying her cou- sin. Then 1 swore never again to dabble in love or meal slush, and thus ended my first and last love affair. Burning Bibles in Canada.—aAt the anniver- sary of the American Bible Society, held in | New York on Thursday, Rev. Mr. Wilkes, of | Canada, stated that in distributing Bibles among the French Catholics, it had been found expe- dient to loan the Bibles, instead of either giving | or selling them. The reason was, that the priests could and would take away and destroy any Bibles which their people might own, but could not legally destroy the property of the Bi- | ble Society. The name of the Society was therefore written in each copy, and the books were loaned to those who would accept them. A priest collected a Jarge number of these Bi- , bles.and burnedthem! ‘The officers of the So- ciety informed him that he bad destroyed their property, and that they should look for remuner- ation. He refused, again andagain. Bat one of the committee, who was a lawyer, addressed a note to the priest, assuring him that the law was with them, and that compensation would be | demanded. The money came, and nothing more | was heard of Bible-burning. Mr. Wilkes stated that the translation de- stroyed was that of De Sacy, the great philolo- gist, who was a Catholic !—Philadelphia Amer- | tcan. aes “an Garersenen The Columpus, Commodore Biddle, Cap-| yman commanding, is on the | eve of departure for China.

Causes of the increase of Crime.—lIt is an ascertained fact, that above a million a year is annually spent in Glasgow on ardent spirits ; and it has been recently asserted, by an intelli. gent operative in Manchester, that inthattown, seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds. more are annually spent on beer and spirits, than on the purchase of provisions. Is it surprising that a generaticn which has embraced: such habits should be suak in sensuality. and ‘profli- gacy, and afford a never failing supply for pris- ons and transport ships? At present about sixty thousand persons are annually committed in the British Isles, for se- rious offences, worthy of deliberate trials; and above double that number for summary police offences. A hundred and eighty thousand per- sons annually fall under the Task of the critni- nal law, and are committed for a longer or a shorter period to places of confinement for pun- ishment. The number is prodigious—it is trightful— Blackwood’s Magazine. Musical Test of the Female Voice.—The in- fluence of the temper upon tone deserves much consideration. Habits of querulousness or ill- nature, will communicate a cat-like quality to the singing, as infallibly as they give'a peculiar quality to the speaking voice. That there real. ly exist amiable tones is not am unfeunded opins ion. In the voice there is no deception; it is, to many, the index of the mind, denoting moral qualities ; and it may be remarked, that the low, soft tones of gentle and amiable beings, what- ever their musical endowments may be, seldom. fail to please ; besides which the singing of la- dies indicates the cultivation of taste generally, and the embellishment of the mind. A true gentleman treats others as he would they should treat him. A true gen- tleman cannot adopt the law of honor as the system of his intercourse with the world, inasmuch as that only prescribes the duty of equals—tolerating injustice, op- pression and cruelty towards inferiors.

What becomes of the vast amount of wheat that is grown in the country? The product, we have already seen, is about 100,000,000 bushels, and on- ly about 6,300,000 bushels are sent abroad. The State of Ohio alone produces three times as much as we export. annually ; and the little State of Delaware produces twice as much Indian corn as our annual exporf. It is not possible to state the ex- act amount of wheat which is consumed in the country by those engaged in other pursuits than agriculture. If we take those engaged in manufactures and trades, in mining, in the fisheries, in all their forms, in commerce and navigation in all their varieties, and the learned professions, with their families and dependants, it would amount to one quarter of our popu- lation, viz: five million of persons, who are not producers but consumers of bread- stuffs. These will consume one barrel of flour or five bushels of wheat per head, making a constant market for twenty-five million bushels of wheat, equal to about iNustrations. Already}it is manrest, that in the bestowal of ‘offices abesnceh have been made to: one friend’ge a not enemies outright and open-miouthed’ but disappointed, chagrined, and. mortified: partizans, who bear their: Ise ‘with ill-* concealed vexation, and will take hereaf- ter an opportunity to give: “ a stab under’ the fifth rib,” where they cangrat revenge, and contribute: to:workion own ends.

Of course there is no woth in this, though it suits the Times to say so. Of the Executive, the Times says, more sneeringly than wisely : ‘If President Polk intends to sustain the heroic line in which he passed threugh his electioneering probation and entered up- on his high office, he may rely on having before him a career of no ordinary, toil, agitation, and peril.

Nobody supposes that in using the very exaggerated and unbe- coming language in which Mr. Polk spoke Oregon, he in- tended deliberately to breathe defiance to the Queen of Great Britain, or to threaten instant violence.

The opinion of such a man on the question which agitates this country Is entitled to some consideration. In a cofiversation which I Jately had with him, among other things he remarked, that ‘Our title to Ore- gon, up-to the 49th degree of latitude, was clear and indisputable: beyond that point, to the 55th degree, it was fairly the sub- ject of argument and compromise.’ ” The “ Times” of the 16th of May, in an- swer to its correspondent, above given, and embodying the views of Mr. Gallatin, says: “ The opinion of the best authorities in this country is precisely the inverse, name- ly, that the British claim from the 55th to the 49ih degree is clear, indisputable, and exclusive, but that south of the 49th de- gree the territory is open to joint occupa- tion and ultimate partition. This is the view taken by the French writer, M. Du- flot de Mofras, as the most favorable to the Americans which-he can at all bring himself to entertain; and it is the princi- ple upon which alone Mr. Huskisson and Mr. Addington negotiated on behalf of the British Government in 1826.” We begin to believe that with such rea- sons as these the Times has hardly studied temerity and an overbearing recklessness | towards foreign nations which, as indivi- | and giveth seed to the sower, and bread to the duals, neither the President, nor any of h out of bis vociferous supporters, can be supposed | bitration of a third Power. to feel.’ ‘The change in the present instance Mr. Polk must either forthwith proceed to realize his pre- | vision, the people perish ; but blessed is he that | tensions to the territory in dispute by the | | | le, inthe mean time, our auxiliaries have | Falmost wholly inoperative ; and besides all be.above, there isthe well esiablished fact, that sAbe.destitute will not supply themselves, nor will ethey ever be supplied through any other instru- _ “mentality than the Bible Society. © "e.Dhe qtiestion will very naturally arise in your ~ghinds, in-view of all the facts and considerations simatalore--" What isto be done?” Breth- verily believe, and all the history of our Sppast Operations, as well as the present state of “ft Onfirm ws in the opinion, that there pos- t. be united, energetic, and, persever- ; tt cr \dé by The Ministry and member. | | } | | | | burehes, gencra}ly, or the work nev. | SCEW be accomplished, Without this decided nd uniform co-operation, the Bible Society can- | Pthe destitute now in the State, much | ce with the increase of destitution | ust periietly arise on an increase of pop- : Bat With your co-operation, the work muh time be effected and perpetuated. fazard nothing in saying, that if the Minis- BObethe Gospel will bring ‘the subject fully we'theimeongregation, and urge upom them *the absolute necessity of immediate and perse- | _“wering efforts, that in a much shorter time than » sempany.believe, the thirly thousand f without.the Oracles of God in their house, ~would-all be. supplied.

It might have apppeared overbearing if this country had availed herself of the superior advantages of her position to demand a settlement of the Oregon question, and had used mena- cing language in case of a refusal. But these pretensions have been raised by the other, and, as we believe, the weak- er side,— weaker both as to the merits of the case and as to the power of support- ing it. The time for inactivity is past, for that is the very weapon which we are told, by the best authority. is to be used | against us. It is still as desirable and as tion should be settled by an equitable ar- rangement, sanctioned, if necessary, by an arbitration. But if the American Cabinet slinks back into that inactivity of which we now thoroughly understand the mean- ing and the motive, it becomes the British Ministers to put an end to a convention that only affords a cloak for hostile de- signs against a British province, which have been already openly avowed by the President of the United States, and are only postponed by the superior craft of other American statesmen.” Some of the other English pape are yield nothing, thanthe Times. The “ Li- verpool Mail” is quite anxious for war, and takes the feeling in opposition to it to be the only commercial feeling between the two countries. The Mail asks: “ When did England cheat, rob, swin- dle, or defraud the United States? She never did. The question, therefore, like Lord ‘Ross’s monster telescope, must be turned in a different direction.

FOR CONGRESS, DANIEL M. BARRINGER. > Messrs. MASON & TUTTLE, No. 38 William Street, Merchants’ Exchange, are our sole Agents in the City of New York, for receiving Subscriptions and Ad- vertisements. We believe the question asto Mr. Fish- er’s acceptance of the nomination of the late Democratic Convention, at Mr. A. D. Kerr’s, is decided in the affirmative. In other words, Mr. Fisher isthe Democratic Candidate for Congress, in this District, both by appointment and by his own choice. We have this information from no publish- ed acceptance, but from common rumor, and from the movements of the gentleman himself, on Saturday last. Mr. Fisher, we suppose, may be considered ae having for the first tinre on this occasion, sallied forth on that day, to commence battle; or, if you please, to arrange bis forces just about his own quarters. He is a Bonaparte in po- litical warfare, excepting, perhaps, his boldness. He is crafty and vigilant—vi- gilant to establish posts, and fastnesses, which, in former times, were well done. But there is no surety that he can enjoy equal success in these latter days. Bona- parte found his Waterloo. But why discourse we thus, on the cha- racter of Mr. Fisher? He is well known, not only by his opponent, Col. D. M. Bar- ringer, who is abundantly able to contest with him in the political arena, the justice and correctness of Whig Principles, and practice, but also by a considerable sprink- ling of the people—old men and young— all around about here. They know him asa public man; andif the Loco Conven- tion did no more, they lit upon one about whom the people have no need to ask odd questions: They use to ask—*“ Who is James K. Polk?” but in this case they are put to no such trouble. Jncidents in the history of Mr. Fisher's life have had the effect to establish him in the memory—can we say in the affections of the people, and yet speak the truth? ; But the fact of his being a Democrat is sufficient to disappoint his hopes in this District: He cannot be elected without getting a large number of Whig votes, | and he has no right toexpect that. Whigs even more belligerent, or determined to) cannot vote against their consciences—it is against their creed. They go for prin- ciples,and Mr. Fisher's principles being against them, he will not receive their sup- port. 0&> The trials of the persons charged with the murder of the two leading Mormons, Hiram and Joe Smith, were commenced at Carthage, Illinois, on the 21st ultimo.

In speaking of the news from Mexico, whic we published in our last, the Baltimore Ameri- can of the 31st ultimo, says:.The Intelligent from Mexico, which we publish this morning trom the Usion of Thursday evening, gives * clearer aspect than any previous news bad im parted to the state of things now existing b- tween that Republic and Texas. Yetthisclesr- ness is but a less perplexed obscurity, much yet remains involved in doubt and tincertainty. The facts which appear to be ascertained an _ that a treaty has been concluded, saving the & nal ratification, between the Government df Mexico and that of Texas, at the instance of th latter, whereby the independence of Texss is recognized by Mexico on the condition of no annexation to the United States. It appears that England and France, certai ly the former and most probably the latter alss are so far parties to this treaty as to be its ™ sponsible endorsers; that an agent of the Brit ish Government, accompanied the Texan Com missioner to Mexico with the proposal for * treaty on the,conditional basis above mentioned and that this co-operation of the British e0" was carried on with the approval of Presidet!

Tamerlane the Conqueror of Asia, was also a mechanic; he rough hewed Bajazet, and carved his way to fortune and glory. Massianielo, a Neapolitan Fisherman, was raised to the command of fifty thousand men, and gave up fish lines for lines of bayonets, and river seines for scenes of carnage. and rose to the dignity of King. He cut out for himself a bad piece of work however, and did not fly well. Zeno, the famous Bishop of Constantia, who had the largest diocese in that country, was a weaver. He directed his attention to the hab- its of soul and body. was made General and commanded sixty thou- sand of an army. He made hats for others, but preferred for himself a chapeau. Walmer, a shoemaker, succeeded him incom- mand, but was slain by Count Papenheim. He converted his awl into a sword, “his last state was worse than the first.” Mr. Edmund, a baker of Sterling in Scotland, showed such unparalled bravery in the Swedish wars under that “ thunderbolt of war Gustavus Adolphus,” that he was made a General. A maker of bread might be supposed to know how to rise. Peter the Great, Emperor of Russia, worked at ship-buiiding. He learned the Russian Bear how to manage a boat. : Charles iI., of England, wasa turner in ivory, nor could affairs of State divert from his morn- ing task at the lathe. He turned his mind how- evertoother amusements which tasked his health and pared away his reputation. Louis XIV., of Francc, was one of the best watch-makers of his reign. He forgot the bur- dens ot power, in following the light foot-steps of time, and escaped the flutterings of parasites, on the pinions of chronometors.

Bleck,-a r.|- We mean The United States refused to allow the Treaty of 1840 and ’41,“One of the mo- tives by which England was urged to de- sire this treaty was the conviction that it | would place her in a better position for | | operating upon the reason of the United | States, which had hitherto refused to act | from the idea,” says the Quarterly, “that | it would be derogatory.” It was believed however, continues that journal, “ that if all the great powers of Europe were to. come in and consent to act frankly toge- ther, and give proofs unequivocal that they consider it to be for their honor to yield to the measures of Great Britain in the cause of humanity, the United States also would follow in their wake, if not from any better motive, at least from the vanity of being included in the list of civt- | lized and influential Stutes.” This concluding remark is insolent e- /nough even for a British journal. But passing that by we may inquire, is it the | design of England to bring about another combination of the European powers on some new basis by which her naval su- | premacy shall be again recognized and | placed in high authority upon the seas, while the force of the s-hole grand alli- /ance Shall be brought under her direction, 'to bear upon the United States inthe way of intimidation? We refused to allow the right of search because we believed it to be another phrase for constituting Eng- | land the High Constable of the Ocean | with power to annoy and distress the com- | the beauty of a town or village. Yet, merce of any rival nation. And France, within its bounds, it can boast of some lovely coming to view it in the same light, re- bir to all in every respect, is the rs’ Garden.” | fused also to allow it, although she had gone through the preliminary forms of ne- gotiating the Quintuple treaty. We are persuaded that France wilt be prompt to reject any new device which may be brought forth for the same purpose—and as for our own country, whether we are fluential States” or not, it is very certain —neither through chicanery nor brow- beating, will the freedom otf the seas be yielded by us to any power on earth. But the article in the Foreign Quarter- | ly to which we have referred is directed mainly against M. Guizot and the French Government, whose refusal to sign the right-of-search treaty in 1841. is denounc- ed with bitter Acrimony. M?: Guizot is ‘charged with having played false on that occasion. first shown great zeal in behalf of the | treaty, having exerted himself to advance | it, and to bring over the Russian minister, who seemed reluctant to come into the | measure, the French diplomatist,—in re- venge for his discomfiture in the treaty of 1840 respecting Turkey and Syria,—set | ‘himself to work to defeat the right of | search treaty, to wreak his spite upon Eng- land thereby. We make no question at all, from the coarse style of the invective in this arti-| icle, and the evident prejudice, national hich inspires it, | | that the whole tirade is full of misrepre- | sentations and false colorings—and most likely of false facts.

It was a pamphlet against the | Right of Search. Every one who knew | they were closeted for hours together, and American, and, with those powers of lo- gic which he must be acknowledged to have at his command, soon convinced him of two things ; first, that it would be high- ly politic for General Cass to vulgarize and father M. Guizot’s pamphlet; and, second, that it would be advantageous to both parties for him still to affect, some time longer, hostility to the Slave trade. Having thus come to an understanding, the two great diplomatists proceeded forth- with to play their respective parts—the American to get up a powerful and wide- spread agitation against the Right of Scarch, and the Frenchman gradually and | gracefully to yield to the furce of public | opinion. Throughout the long tissure of invec- tive in which this journal indulges, now against M. Guizot, the French Govern- 'ment and people, and then against the United States, one thing is-prominently | apparent—and that is a feeling of woun- ded pride, a sense of humiliation, an irri- tated, touchy betrayal of mortification at | the thought that England has been baf- fled in her right of search pretension, and | absolutely compelled to abandon it. This uneasy consciousness, this worrying re- | collection, is evet uppermost. It breaks out in splenetic railings against the Peel administration, after venting itself in show- ers of abuse on this Republic and on! France. It charges Lord Aberdeen with | having “ yielded to the menaces of the | United States the first relaxation of a prin- ciple, by a conscientious devotion to which | Great Britain has acquired her greatest glory.” Nor is Lord Ashburton spared ; | denunciation reaches its acme on his head. | Those articles in the treaty of Wash- | ington which give up the right of search | i*in deference to the United States,” are declared to constitute “the monument of | his guilt.” It is evident, adds the Quar- terly, that “every word was conccived deepest possible sense of humiliation ac- | companied the signing of the convention.” Lord Ashburton must have been conscious “that he was signing the death warrant of his own fame.” In such a spirit and tone is the leading article of the last #or- eign Quarterly.

The Abolitionists haye thus increased the misery they profess to de- plore, and have postponed, by at least half a century, the event for which they pre- tend to labor. They have succeeded: in implanting a bitter and envenomed bostil- ity between a large body of the people of the two sections of the Union; a hatred which they take care constantly to feed, and which is full of danger to the inter- ests and existence of the Union, They have rent asunder two of the great reli- gious denominations cf the country ; have arrayed one section of the Union in enmi- ty towards the other; and a few of them have reaped in Southern penitentiaries the reward which has been richly deserv- ed by many more. Happily their fanati- cism has now reached a point where it can do little harm. The leaders of the party are now openly proclaiming the traitorous purposes they have so long cher- ished, but which hitherto they have con- cealed. Their leading presses are now ‘boldly declaring the dissolution of the Union, to be reached by civil war and ‘universal butchery if necessary, is the 'grand result at which they aim.

It is notsurprising, however unfortunate it may be, that this should be the case. Clamor- ous preténsion with the great mass always challenges more notice than a quiet regu- lar course of systematic labor; and that cause which boasts the loudest, and de- nounces others with the most unsparing bitterness, is always sure to receive the most attention. © The abolitionists have now for “years and provoked the pub by their nee and dosti Ape ages reached Ss DCor mn are only to be ae stunned the public ear with their clamor, | Fisher.

The correct construction of the first article of the Convention between Great Britain and the United States of 1818, relative to the right of fishing in the waters of the Anglo-American dependencies, has long been in discussion be- tween the two Governments, without having heretofure led to any satisfactory result. The exclusion of American fishermen from the wa- ters of the Bay of Fundy was the most promi- nent of the grievances complained of on behalf the United States. The Union of Thursday night says : “ We are gratified to be now enabled to state that a despatch has been recently received at the Department of State from Mr. Evereit, our Minister at London, with which he transmitsa note from Lord Aberdeen, containing the satis- factory intelligence that, after a reconsideration of the subject, although the Queen’s Govern- ment adhere to the construction of the conven- tion which they have always maintained, they have still come to the determination of relaxing from it so far as to allow American fishermen to pursue their avocations in any part of the’ Bay of Fundy, provided they do not approach—_ rp ae the cases specified in the treaty of . ‘Phe ends at }.Wiek. ~~ 1818—within thrée miles of the entrance of any: bay on the tof Nove Soa or New Breas: wy | Tigi im <7.

In a word, I persuade myself that | de no Whig heart is going to be turned violently to them, until they do some deed to command re- spect or to deserve an honest praise. If the Whigs, then, seem fewer, it can only be because they look with gloom upon the pre- sent condition of things for the~ country, know all their own efforts useless, and therefore re- sign themselves to the present sway of the spoilsmen. . That Locofocoism should, on the contrary, be losing its party tenacity, seems quite natural.— There must, after all, in this peace-loving State, be many who voted the Polk ticket and yet saw with horror the business of annexation voted by their Representatives. Others must be alarm- ed at the avowal in “the Union ”—that paper which speaks for the President, if notin his ve- ry words—that the Secretary of the Treasury is collecting and preparing the daia for a gen- eral reduction of the ‘Tariff in its heavier-taxed articles; among which coal and iron are two of the chief. Others again must be sick of witnessing the open contempt of law and duty with which the present Administration has car- ried out the spoils-system ; and others, finally, are still more disgusted at the non-application of that system to their own personal benefit.— There are thus—excluding even those whom the war-tone of the Cabinet displeases—many more | sorts that are likely to abandon the Locofucos ‘than the Whigs. As for Nativism, well inclined as I am to- wards it, I see not how a party can take any particular prevalence which has, thus far, sig- It has certainly put itself under bad leaders and a worse organ- ization: but, most of all, it is confessed to me here now that the composition of the party itselt is bad. Wanting, then, the reputation of suc- cess as well as that of prudence, of discipline, and of personal worth, I see not how they are suddenly to grow an ascendant party, _ Proba- bly they are much nearer to becoming an obso- lete one. Mr. Clay.—The Louisville Courier of the 6th inst. says— Mr. Clay was slightly indis- posed from the effects of a bad cold, when he arrived here last week, with the intention of visiting St. Louis. Exposure on the river at French Island bar, where he was detained sev- eral days, increased his cold and indisposition so much, that he deemed it prudent to return, and to postpone his visit to St. Louis for the present. We are happy to learn, that although not entirely recovered, bis health has much im- proved. His general health was never better, we learn, than it has been for several months past, and now looks and walks as firm, erect, and vigorous, as he did fuurteen years ago, when we first saw him.” (<> The 6th No. of the “American Re- vigw, has come tohand.

FRIDAY MORNING. eee RUINOUS FIRE AT EAYETTEVILLE. Fayetteville has again been visited by an | awful fire. The fairest and most busicess part | of the town is again in ashes, and many of her | worthy and industrious citizens suddenly re- | duced to want. The fire was discovered about | 2 o’clock, Friday morning the 13th in a ware- house on the back of Hay-street, in the heart of business. The drought, and consequently, dry- ness of everything, lent wings to the flames ; and, for a time, bid defiance to the powers of man. “Fifty-three front tenements were de- stroyed, (about half of which were handsome buildings,) besides the valuable warehouses, &c.,in the rear on the back streets.”” The | loss is estimated at between $300,000 and | $400,000, of which about $125,000 or $150,- | 000 were insured. This is a heavy calamity | on Fayetteville,—one which it will require years to repair. And this mischiet is believed to be the work of an incendiary. Below we give a list of the sufferers : Jas. Kyle, corner of Market Square, large brick store, | with a heavy stock of goods. Loss said to be $40,000, with insurance of $15,000.

FROM TEXAS. The National Intelligencer of the 17th instant. says :—We have intelligence from Texas to the 4th instant, of which we make the following summary from the New Orleans papers: The U.S. revenue cutter Woodbury ar- rived at Galveston on the 3d instant with despatches for the American Charge d’ Affaires, who had again returned to his eccpee Texas. The American squadron ad returned to Galveston. Captain Elliot, the British Charge to Texas, reached Galveston on the evening of the 30th ultimo in a French man-of- war brig. The Civilian says it is under- stood that he brought further overtures from Mexico for an acknowledgment of the independence of Texas. He proceed- ed to the seat of Government on the morn- ing of the 2d instant. The precise cha- racter of these “ overtures from Mexico” is not known. The Galveston News comments at great length and with much severity upon the presumed machinations of President Jones and Mr. Smith to defeat annexation by a triple alliance with England and Mexico. The Houston Telegraph has the annex- ed paragraph in reference to the state- ment in the message of Senor Cuevas to the Mexican Congress, that Texas had made proposals to Mexico to obtain an acknowledgment of her independence: “ We have been assured by Col. Allen, our Secretary of State, that President Jones has made no proposals to Mexico, and authorized no agent to proceed to Mexico with proposals.” The Galveston News, speaking of the endeavor to represent President Jones as | a friend of annexation, remarks that such | inference cannot be drawn from existing facts in regard to the above extract from the Telegraph: “ This, to say the least of it, is a most | extraordinary mode of explanation, and | challenges no small share of credulity, es- pecially as at this moment Captain Elliot | is in Washington, and probably again in secret conclave with the President.” The western counties of Texas are op- posed to a People’s Convention, and plen- ary on the subject of annexation. A mee- ting had been held at Bastrop, presided over by General Burleson, and a series of resolutions adopted, denouncing “ Presi- dent Jone’s proclamation as dictatorial, | doth of right belong.

From the Rome (Ga2.) Femensk Tish inst. POST OFFICE ROBBERY. The Postmaster at this place is now confined in the.county jail, charged with having at differing times abstracted mo- ney from letters passing through his office. Notwithstanding he still persists in his in- nocence, the. proofs against: him are so of the propriety of exposing his guilt. It seems that he had been suspected for a month past, and that the Post Office Agent and the Postmaster at Augusta had both been here secretly, at least once, and had left with discreet persons the numbers and descriptions of several notes, which werc believed to have been taken out at this office. Although the Agent had, by_ex- amining the mail both before arriving and after leaving the office, satisfied himself that the money was abstracted here, yet it does not seem that he felt authorised-to cause an arrest without more positive tes- limony. Matters went on in the usual way up to the 9.h instant. Money of course still continuing to pass through the office. On the night of the 31st instant, the office of Col. ‘I’. C. Hackett, which ad- joins that of the Postmaster, was entered between the hours of 8 and 12 P. M., and a smal! trunk containing $1060, and val- uable papers were taken out. The trank was found next morning near the Jail rob- bed of all but $10 00 and a draft, which was left in the hurry, we suppose, of the. robbery. © The same night the office of the Clerk of the Inferior’ Court was broken o- pen, and $85°00 taken from a desk se- cured by an outside and inside lock. The Postmaster was immediately suspected of both these thefts by those privy to the rob- bery of the Post Office, and a’ watch. was set upon him, In the meantime, upon.the 4ih instant, our village was visited by a Mr, Daniel, of Paulding county, who had lost money by mail, He charged the theft with little ceremony npon the Postmaster, who paid him $135 00 after pledging him to secrecy, and taking his receipt in case the money should be discovered elsewhere: e might ‘Democrat to Congress, mud that they had been’ * + 436, 2 ev and | , no farther facts have beer ‘We feel convinced that Col.

There is # of persons in all communities, whose igmest for them the appellation of Tattlers. They form # division in. the great family of mankind as pacefal as they are mischievous ; and if there be any one <jgss of viclous persons more offensive in the sight of High Heaven than ‘another, there is good reason to be- eve that this elass is at least next to it. It is the office of Tattlers to go about from place to place, and by management draw from neighbors and fiends remarks of a unprofitable nature on any subject, and then go forth and relate them where they will be felt, and where they will cause pain. This, in nine cases oat of ten, prodages additional, food for these vile crea- tures to feed apon, who with § | avidity, swallow cv-ry s ntence that is uttered, and again retail it where it will produce thie greatest evil effect. Thus they are al- ways bearing mews from one to another, and tatling things not calealated to do good, but only evil, and that continually producing quarrels and difficulties among peighbors, and disturbing the peace and harmony of whole communities. When they have done all they can to create mischief, and a storm begins to rage, having practised the art throughout, they die with a ready tongue to exculpate theméelves from all blame, and to shelter from impend- ing danger, . They assume the appearance of the most perfect in cowardice, creep outiof harms way.

HALE. ag on BNF F - A &U Bye 3 oes } ' > > J * LETTERS OF MARQUE. A paragraph on this subject, recently pub. | lished in one of the New Orleans papers, 1s thus | noticed in the Washington Union of the 20th | instant: “The ‘New Orleans Republican’ stated a few days ago, upon the authority of a gentle. man from Havana, then in New Orleans, “that numerous commissions from Mexico have already been issued to persons in Havana, to | take effect immediately, in the event of war.— Our informant states that there are such com. | missions in this city, and that one of them has been offered to one of our citizens. The ‘Republican’ is doubtful about the ac- curacy of this report; and yet it would not be very extraordinary if Mexico should be urged to go to war, with the expectation of cutting up | our commerce, by foreign vessels under her let. ters of marque. But has she calculated the consequences, or, rather, have those who would | sail under the Mexican commissions? Mr. B. | Marigny, of New Orleans, meets this difficulty | at once, when, in his admirable letter of May | 16, 1844, he combats all the objections which had been urged to the annexation of ‘Texas.— He encountered this argument of a war with Mexico, and of the letters of marque to which | she would resort, as the means of carrying it on. [Here follows a quotation from Mr. Marigny’s | letter, which has been heretofore published.— | The Union then proceeds to say J— Let the Mexicans, and those who are pleased to abuse the Mexican flag to pirate upon our commerce, be undeceived. We know the en- ergy of the man who now presides over our go- | vernment ; and we are perfectly assured, that if Mexico should be persuaded by her own pas- sions, or tempted by the intrigues of others, to plunge the two countries into war, our govern- ment will support the people and the people will | support the government in adopting the most en. | ergetic legitimate measures in upholding the | honor of our flag, and in protecting the interests of our commerce. We have no hesitation in | saying, that instructions would at once be issued | to the commanders of our squadrons, if they have not already been issued, to treat as pirates | every foreign vessel that is pleased to sail with | foreign crews under these fictitious letters of marque. A few crews, hung up, according to | the laws of nations, at the yard-arm of their ves- | sels would soon abate the nuisance, and confine | the exertions of Mexico to her own limited mis- | erable marine. ee —— | . American Coinage.—We are glad to learn | from an article in the Washington Union, that the Secretary of the Treasury bas directed his attention to this subject; and that the sum of | $250,000 bas been drawn from various depo- | site banks in Mexican dollars, &c., and sent to to the Mint and Branch Mints to be coined into | This additional sup- | ply of these useful coins will greatly add to the | convenience of the public, under the operation dimes and half dimes. of the new post office law. More, we are told will be sent, to the full extent authorized by law. And also that the next issve will probably be | of quarters, when a sufficient number of dimes and half dimes shal! be coined. The New Orleans Picayune of Sunday the 8th, says the British frigate Eurydice is still at the Balize, and rumor now has it that she is to transport the French Charge to Texas. This is no more than right and fair. A French man-of-war is one week running of errands for the Brit- ish Charge; why should not an English cruizer perform the same office for the Frenchman the next ? a The death of John B. Dawson, Esq., a member of Congress from Lovisiana, is an- nounced. He had been for some time in feeble health. “AVING petmancnily located himeelf in 8 - E aut oe me Pan on the indulgence | Thomas O Brown, Bladen county. Francis P Ward, Williamston, Martin county.

Biev In this County, on the 17th instant, Mrs. Any Exiza ATWELL, consort of Capt. Thomas S. Atwell, aged 32 years, 7 months and 24 days. For several years she had been, and was at the period. of her death, a consis- tent member of the Presbyterian Church. She was an affectionate wife, a tender mother, a kind neighbor, and sustained the different relations of life in such a manner as to endear her to all with whom she was acquainted. She has left a husband, six children, and a number of relatives and friends to mourn their irreparable loss ; but they “sorrow not as those who have no hope” ;—but they have reason to rejoice in the hope of a happy re- union in “ another and a better world,” where sickness, sorrow, and parting are excluded forever. “ Delightful thought! ’tis bliss to die, To quit this monrnful vale, and fly Upward to Heaven—fore’er to prove The sweets of Christ's redeeming love.” (Comm. In Morganton, Burke county, on Sunday the 22d inst. Mr. James Bives, of this place—aged about 27 years. The deceased had been for some time past afflicted with a disease of the lungs, which gradually wasted a- way his strength. Some four or five weeks ago, he re- | solved to visit some of the Medicinal Springs of the | | western part of the State, with the hope of regaining his health. When he reached Morganton, his strength failed him: He was compelled to stop, and there re- mained until death released him from his sufferings. James Biles was a young man of many good qualities, and enjoyed, in life, the respect and love of this commu- nity, which now equally regret his death.

And when the chil. dren.of thy people.shall speak unto thee say- | ingy wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these, (verse 19 ) say unto them, thus ‘saith the Lord God, Behold I will take the stick of Joseph which is in tho band of Ephraim and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with bim, even with the stick of Judah, and | make them one stick, and they shall be one: ia! my hand,(verse 20.)

That this prophecy has never yet been ful- | filled all history testifies, In the return of the | Jews from the Babylonish captivity, the ten tribes had no part ; they were lost, utterly alien- ated and effectually separated from their breth- | ren. That it remains therefore to be fulfilled is | unquestionable. If the signs of the times (as _ many believe) and the changes in the East be. | gin to indicate that the time of the return of the | Jews is at hand, it would not be remarkable that the hiding place of their long lost brethren | should also begin to be discovered. The theo- ry that the North American Indians are the ten léreuit destinies were allct ed for}; tribes, though strenuously maintained by Smith, ‘in his “View of the Hebrews,” in which | work (now exceedingly scarce) he certainly ad- duces some remarkable facts in corroboration | of that opinion, has not however been consider- ed as settling the question, . Neither has ‘the work of Dr. Grant on the Nestorians ‘satisfied | the Christian public that the ten tribes have | been found. It is a problem yet to be solved, and as all information tending to its solution is deeply interesting to all students of prophecy, we communicate the following in the hope that it may lead to further investigation. | THE’ TEN LOST TRIBES. | | | The following paragraph, which lately ap- | peared in a German paper, under the head of | Leipsic, is calculated to. lead to some interesting | | inquiries :— © “After having seen, for some years past mer. | chaftts from Tiflis, Persia and Armenia, among the visitors at our fair, we have ‘had, for the first time, two traders from Bucharia with shawls, | which are there manufactured of the.finest wool | of Tibet and Cashmere sy tHe JEwisn FAMI- Ltrs who form a third part of the population.— In Bucharia (‘ormerly the capital of Sogdiana,) the Jews have been very numerous ever since | the Babylonian captivity,and are there as re: | markable for their industry and manufactures as | they are in England for their money transac- | tions. should appropri. | O50. ir 2 and their.dis- | house write upon it, for Juda and for the children of | | by attentive observation and inquiry. | have Hebrew names of the same kind and with e. th y ; 2 er> i if x. - ' viz . is, ~~ any . wot bi : ~ known, * The tion, ertain of.

From its exterior flow all the great rivers of that part of the world,. In the interior are a quantity of rivers, having little declivity, or no tssue, which waters. ‘In the southern chains are countries, populous, rich, and civilized; Little Bucharia, Great and Little Thibet. ‘The people of the north are shepherdsand wanderers. “‘Theirha- bitations are tents, and town camps, which are transported according to the want of pasturage. The Bucharians enjoy the right of trading toall parts of Asia, and the Thibetians’cultivate the earth to advantage. The ancients had only a confused idea of central Asia. Phe inhabi- coittinent” of J & iad * x Very Singular—A™~ Negro woman in this Town was taken on Saturday with a vomitng and threw up an animal 'resem- bling in form a dog—about an.inch.and a half long—with tail ears and every thing else, except hair, belonging to the canine race. On Sunday the woman was seized with another vomiting fit, and threw tp four animals of the same. desciption .as the one thrown up on Saterday. > ° These animals, which were seen by the tante*of this country,” as we learn from a great authority, “are in a high state of ‘civilization ; possessing all the useful manufactures, and lofiy houses built with stone. The Chinese reckon (but this is evidently an exaggeration) that Thib- et alone contains thirty-three millions of per- sons. The merchants of Cashmerce, on their way to Yarkand, in Bocharia, pass through Lit- tle Thibet. ‘This country is scarcely known to European geographets.” ‘The immense plain of Central Asia is hemmed in, and almost inacces, sible by mountain ranges of the greatest eleva. tiow, which surround it on all sides, except to- wards China; and when the watchful jealousy of the government of the Celestial Empire is considered, it will scarcely be wondered at that the vast region in questign is so little known. Such is the country which these newly-dis- covered Jews are said to inhabit in such num- bers. ‘The following facts may, perhaps, serve |10'throw some additional light on this interest. | ing subject. In the year 1222, a Mr. Sargon, who, if we mistake not, was.one of the agents to the Lon. don Society, communicated to England some in- | teresting accounts of a number of persons res- ident at Bombay, Cannanore, and their vi- cincity, who were evidently the descendants or Jews, calling themselves Beni-Israel, and bear. | ing, almost uniformly, Jewish names, but with Persian terminations. ‘This gentleman, feeling | Very desirous to obtain all possible knowledge | _ of their condition, undertook a mission for this purpose to Cannanore ; and the resu!t of his in- quiries was, a conviction that they were not ews of the one tribe and a half, being of a dif. J ferent race to the white and black Jews ut Co. | | chin, and, consequently, that they .were a rem. | nant of the long-lost Ten Tribes, This ger- | emai ‘also concluded, frdm the information he obtuined respecting the Beni-Israel, that they | existed in great numbers in the countries be- tween Cochin and Bombay, the north of Persia, | among the hordes of Turtary and in Cashmere | —the very countries in which, according tu the paragraph in the German paper, they exist in such numbers. So far, then, these accounts confirm each other, and there is every proba- bility that the Beni-Israel, resident on the west of the Indian Peninsula, had originally proceed. ed from Bucharia. It will, therefore, be inter. esting to know something of their moral and re- ligious character. The following particulars are collected from Mr. Sargon’s accuunts: 1. In dress and manners they resemble the natives, so as not to be distinguished from them, except 2. They the same local terminations, as the Sepoys in the ninth regiment Bombay Native Infantry.— | 3. Some of them read Hebrew, and they have a faint tradition of the cause of their original Exodus from Egypt. 4. Their common lfan- guage is the Hidoo, 5. They keep idols and worship them, and use idulatrous ceremonies in- | 6. They circumcise | termixed with Hebrew, their own-children, 7.

They expect the Messiah, and that they will‘one day return to Jerusalem. They think that the time of his appearance will soap arrive, at which they much rejoice, believing that at Jerusalem they will see their God, worship bim only and be despised no more, This is all the information that can be collect- ed from the accounts of Mr. Sargon. The cel- ebrated Oriental Geographer, Ibn Haukal, how- ever, describes with great minuteness, under the | appellation of -Mowwer-al.nahr, the region in which these Jews are said to bave been discov- ered. He speaks of it generally as one of the most flourishing and productive provinces within j : the dominion of Islam, and describes the people as dist for probity and virtue, as averse from évil, and fond’ of peace. ©“ Such is their Tiberality,” ssays:he, “that no one turns aside from the rites of -hospitality ; so that a person contémplating them in the would imayine that all the families tn tfie Tan house, When. a traveller arrives be > . ; < eget eat gale | 4 “As 4. “23 ‘ ¢™ person endeavours to 4 ES ig : 4A Hospilabic an peasant, ( madre? > pee 4 eo + © DORE RE NR * 4. ‘VOR 2s Candle-stands, &c.
