Hav- ing thus feasted upon steaks and rested a eouplé-of Hours longer to refresh our hors- es, we pushed on towards Charlotte, driv- ing them before us as heretofore. But moved on slowly to another house some 6 or 7 miles thenee, on another road more to.our left, where a great concourse of officers and soldiers had collected, and _ where, finding several acquaintances, I patup there forthe night and slept in a large barn upon fresh wheat and straw, thé first shelter and bed I had enjoyed singe the departure of the light troops from ourpositiqn at the junction of Cheraw and Rocky River roads, 36 miles below Cam- den. Setting out thence next morning, but not early, without meeting any other occurrences worth mentioning, except be- ding overtaken and passed by some hun- dreds pressing on to the same place, I at last arrived there about 10 o'clock on Sat- urday morning, the third day of our re- | treaty and putting up at a public house immediately asked for breakfast. I was never in my younger days accustoined to despondency, but, on the contrary, in most cases, was perhaps of too sanguine a dis- Position. I therefore had not considered our defeat, (or my own private losses,) an irretrievable calamity, and if it was, it Was common to us all, and I had no right tocomplain more than others. When I arrived at the little village of Charlotte, I *E°re hold of, and after carrying it a few miles, became tired of his burden, and falling in at that time’ with one of Col.

Here we found him, sur- rounded by a group of men leaning upon the back wall of the room, resting his left arm upon a pile of empty barrels, and with a serious, downcast countenance, lis- tening to the recital of a man just then arrived, with apparent grief and horror.

As soon as Sumpter had accom- plished his object, he hastened his retreat up the country with his wagons and pri- soners; and avoiding the British post at Little river on that side of the Wateree, 20 miles above Camden, and commanded | by Colonel Turnbull, he began to feel him- self safe, and slagkened his retreat in or- der to favor his exhausted troops, who had taken no repose for three days and nights. Pushing on, however, to Rocky Mount, he | encamped there for the night, and next | day marched ten miles further up to Fisb- | ing Creek, which he crossed about noon | on the 18th and halted his troops, entirely | overcome by fatigue and the excessive | heat of the weather. Lord Cornwallis, receiving intelligence , on the field of battle in the course of that found it filled with soldiers and officers of - Very grade, both continental and militia; among the latter, Major General Caswell; among the former, at that time, was Co- lone) Otho Holland Williams, the Adju- tant General, perhaps as valuable an offi- who seemed to be at their head, for as yet Generals Smallwood and Grist had not ar- tived, and the brave Baron de Kalb was killed: “Among others I found a num- ber. of gentlemen, my own particular friends.and acquaintances already men- tidied, With whom I had acted on the field of hattle and in the early part of our re- treat, allsvearing cheerful faces, These, with oie accord, as soon as they heard of ihy arrival, (for they were dispersed about town,) cameto my quartersto shake hands and congratulate me on my good fortune. we ¢all good and bad fortune, wealth and poverty, are all at last but mere cir- cumstances in man’s life, which nine- tenths, if not the whole of the human race ' M8'doomed to experience in one shape or another.

If he should be gone to some considera- | ble distance, and there is a probability ot in- f| creasing your body by halting in Chatham a | few days, I would advise you to wait ; but in all these things you are to exercise your own judg- ment.

I beg you to make the de- | feating of Fanning your first and principal ob- ject, though you should be obliged to fullow him Should that be the | counties through which you march, and the fur- | ther he goes his numbers will decrease. When that pursuit is over, be pleased to return to Ran- | dolph county and give the enemies to govern- | ment a sufficient scourge. I have wrote to Col.

Sir: Your letters of the 13th and 21st, are both come safe to hand, and I have now to in- form you that a few days ago a party. of the | Cumberland and Bladen people, consisting of | about 100, fell in with McNiel and his party of | tories, mostly mulattoes, within ten or twelve | miles of Cross Creek ; an engagement ensued _and our people were put to the rout, their | numbers being inferior to McNiel’s party.— | What loss we have sustained is not yet known | here, but is supposed to be considerable. This | accident makes it necessary that you should | march with your whole force directly to Cross | Creek, and join such as may be in arms in that | quarter and act ayainst McNiel. Cul.

I am well aware of the great ne- cessity you are under of returning home ; but | I fear that if you should, all would be in con- | fusion and disorder, as was the case before you | joined the regiment. I must, therefore, my dear sir, endeavor to prevail on you to continue with the regiment during the sitting of the gen- eral assembly, which I suppose will not be lang- | er than two or three weeks from this time.t— You will be pleased to detach a Lieutenant _and 12 or 15 men to the North side of Cape Fear river, into the neighborhood of Col.

This officer, when posted, is to keep watch over the movements of the enemy at Wilmington; and in casé the enemy should | move this way, notice thereof is to be sent |immediately to me at this place, and also |to you wherever you may be; and youare desired in that case to move this way also, so as to fall in the enemy’s front; but do not ad- vise you to come te an engagement unless you have the fairest prospect of success.

Sir: I have considered your report relative Howe - ley, and am clearly of the opinion that your in. timation to the Colonels of the batallions, as to the service for which the troops wore wanted immediately, and in which they would probably be employed during their whole tour, does by no means amount to an engagement with them, so repugnant to all military service,as that, in no event, they should march out of the district, As I am determined to insist that the orders given to Col. Dudley, for marching against the disaffected who were in arms in the neighbor. hood of Cross Creek, be carried into execution until I see fit to countermand them. You will therefore be pleased to order Col. Dudley. to march with the Horse under his copes by. the road on the South side of Cape Fear River to Cross Creek, and take post in the neighbor- hood thereof in such-manner as best to avoid surprise and annoy the enemy. When we shall have sufficiently learned their strength anddis- position, Col. Dudley will be so good as to send daily reports of his proceédings and of the ene- my’s motions in such maimer as you will par- ticularly direct him. I am with respect, sir, your very obed’t servant, Thomas Burxe.t Gen. Butler. P. S. I will not presume that these orders will be disobeyed ; but if they should, Colonel Dudley will immediately put in Confinement any person wifo may begin or excite the mutiny, and if it be general, he will report them immeiately to you. I will find means to punish. Wake Court Hovss, 7th July 1781. Sir—Your letter of the 6th and the duplicate thereof, are both come to hand. I am sorry to find that the officer? and soldiers under your command still persist in disobeying orders.— The Governor has directed me to request of you to arrest all your officers and repair to this place with them, which I hope you will do.t The men, as they are no longer useful, may be left to themselves to return home without discharges, except the one obedient soldier, whom you will be pleased to bring with you. I am with respect, Your obedient servant, Joun Burier. By express. Wake Coort Hovsg, 10th July, 1781. Dear Sir—Since the officers and soldiers of your regiment have absolutely refused to march Col. Guilford Dudley. | a place of safety at a distance,and himself seeking re- fuge by flying from post to post to avoid the grasp of these | | demons: which would have been followed by instant | death, had he unluckily fallen into their hands. Consid- | erable allowance ought, therefore, to be made for the ex- | | asperation and violence of his letter. Lt. Col. Luttrell, | however, lost his life in little more than three months af- terwarts, in a severe conflict which took place between | | Gen. Butler on one side, and the infamous Fanning and | Col. Hector McNiel, on the opposite part, where the dis- | proportion of men in favor of the tories, was as 500 to 200, | Major John Nall, of Chatham county, and a member of | the Legislature also, was killed in this action, besides ma- ny others. On the part of the tories, Col. Hector MeNi- | e| was killed, with many more, and Col. Fanning severe- | ly wounded. The latter, however, made good his retreat to Wilmington with his booty and a great number of pris- | oners, among them the Governor of the State, and a num- ber of continental officers and gentlemen of distinction, | taken out of Hillsborough and the adjacent baa Fe | especially forage for horses, could be obtained ; and more- ; + The paragraph in the foregoing letter which person- ally applies to Col. D., was predicated on the following circumstances. On the very outset of his tour, Col. D. received advices from Halifax, while in camp, of the death of his father ; and that the British under the guidance of | | Lord Cornwallis, had plundered him of merchandise and other property to a large amount, in that town. But these | misfortnnes Col: D. kept concealed in his own bosom, de- | termined not to think of returning home until he should | hove defeated Fanning, according to the tenor of his instructions from Gen. Butler, or compelled him to aban- | don the country with his troops, or such of them as might | choose to follow his fortunes. . This latter event, after va- | rious manceuvres on both sides, being happily accomplish- | ed, Colonel D. believed he might be spared from his regi- | ment, at least for some timé, and accordingly com- municated his wish to Gen. Butler, presuming, at the same time, to give his opinion as to the disposition of the troops into the several counties most in danger, and therefore most interesied in the benefit of their aid, always to be in motion. ‘This request on the part of Colonel D., for leave of absence, produced the reply contained in the foregoing | letter of General Butler ; when he made no hesitation a- | bout remaining with his regiment in compliance with the | General's wishes, so forcibly expressed. G. D. | {The circumstances contained in this letter, truly depict | the wretched and humiliating condition of the large State | of North Carolina at this Rape pen ce onfomel troops—without a regiment, or si company of militia in arms, except the regiment of volunteers commanded by | Colapeh D., wack St Se vee ae art ee | . {arms ; * * and withou whilst ‘anni.g had been ranging oe eal «* out of this district, and are returned home, your | continuance as an officer cannot render us -fur« | of the suggestions contained in it, and was entirely un- | time you will use every means in your power | qualified, from principles and disposition, to comply with | 3s wishes, so vehemently expressed.

Accept my thanks for the servi- ces you have done in this part of the country, If you wish to take command of the State troops, I will give you my vote and interest.|| Iam, Your obd’t servant, Joun Butier. Col. Dudley. * When General Butler received orders from Gov. Nash to raise a regiment of light horse of the above description, the men were not only to equip themselves with arms, but to find their own horses, and therefore none but volunteers would answer the purpose for which this regiment was sent into service—drafted militia, serving on foot, could not ; acting against an artful enemy of superior strength and well mounted too, ranging in every direction through a large extent of country and always in motion. It was, therefore, that the colonels in the counties composing the district of Hillsboro’ (unknown to Gen. Butler) entered into a sort of an engagement with the men, that they should not be marched out of their own district ; for it was not only a busy season of the year with farmers, but they had their own fire-sides, their wives and children, and property to protect from an invading and anprincipled foe —in.among them, and all around them if every direction but one. When, therefore, Col. D. received orders from Gen. Butler, in obediece to the Governor’s directions, to march his regiment against Hector McNiel, some twenty, thirty, or forty miles, as the case might happen, below Cross creek, through a dreary piney wood country, and impenetrable swamps, where neither rations for men, but over,when they would have to turn their backs upon their own homes and every thing that was dear to them expos- | ed to the ravages of an incensed. enemy ;—both officers | and men, (for they were all in the same predicament,) ab- solutely refused to obey orders ; nor couid all the persua- | sion of Col. D. bring them to alter their fixed resolve:-— | The insinuation of the General in the foregoing letter, ex- pressed “in the moment of irritation and disappointment, was unjust ; for both officers and men were patriotic and brave, and would have freely shed their blood in the cause of their country and for the protection of their own. prop- | erty and liberties. G. D. +Thomas Burke, Esq., had been just elected chief magistrate of North Carolina. He was a man well eal- culated for the office, particularly in time of war, being possessed of varied talents: firm, energetic, decided and courageous, and with:,! a firm patriot. He not only act- ed a conspicuous part in framing the constitution of North | Carolina, in 1776, but had also been a delegate from that State in the old Congress for several years, and was an eminent lawyer. 6. D. In pursyance of the above order, Col. D. had the un- WP cach task to perform of afresting all his commission- ed officers and repairing wi'h them to Wake Courthouse; where they had an audience with Gen. Butler,and where they defended their condact with much ability and pro- priety. The result was, that the General quietly dismize- ed them ; the privates and the staff of the regiment (the Adjutant, Quarter-master spd‘Commissary) having béen the. j or eee Re ar BN , “ay ca ce ites he fe 1? >. +. eee Joux Burizr, Bu Gyo.

This was the position of things when the elec- tion came on, which resulted in favor of Mr. F. by a small majority. All was now accomplished, and as there was no longer any necessity for concealment of his true colors, it only remained for him to make the developement in such a manner as not to disgust and offend at once those good and true Whigs whom he had deceived. This was a nice and difficult point to man- age: There is an old proverb that “ mur- der will out ;” “and, sure enough, Mr. F’s. artfulness failed him here. The first in- timation thrown out as to Mr. Fisher’s true character appeared in the Western Carolinian, then published by Charles F. Fisher. In the election returns given by that Journal, he was set down as a “ Re- puBLICAN !”—neither Whig nor Democrat, mark you. This made some of his Whig supporters pause and think, a little; and they would dismiss the subject by express- ing the hope that Mr. I°. would still “ do right.” But the next No. of the Raleigh Standard, after the election, claimed Mr. Fisher as_an Administration man !—that : “ oe” >. ap Shes . = T. supporters, or for being P more and Obio Rail Road monopoly and a nuisance!” ~ Cannot some one of the President’s friends inform thé cc c of that paper why this important apy was conferred upon Mr. re pn dnc this selection of .Mr. Porx’s. It is proof almost incontestable that Mr. McLane is a gentleman—an American in beart and feel- ing, and that the interests of the United States will not suffer under his. management, although bespattered with federalism all over, like many others of the Democratic party, and among whom may well be classed, JAmEs Bocnanan, Mr. Poux's Secretary of State! Why did not the editors of the Journal open their battery upon this selection of the Presidents? Is not Fed- eralism as heinous in one man as in another ? But this oversight—this waut of true consisten- cy is common with the Locofoco party. We observe also, that the “Hartford Times” is displeased with the appointment, and says Mr. Poix has been very unfortunate ia his ap- pointments to office. So far as the chivalry of the South is coneerned, it seems to take very well. Federalism, which has been harped up- on by them as the worst political sin with which a man can be guilty, has not‘thrown them into spasms, but on the contrary, the Charleston Mercury, Mr. CaLnoun’s organ, approves the selection. Federalism which hag been supposed to ex. | ist only among the Whigs, (ifthe Locofocos are | to be believed, but which we strenuously deny, | and which the history of the country proves | false in every particular,)is now openly ac- | knowledged by the democracy par excellence, to | be part and parcel of their heretofore immacu- late party! ‘This plainly shows to every un- prejudiced mind how much dependence is to be placed in the assertions of these men, We have noobjection to Mr. McLane, but have been led to make these few remarks, from the fact, that all who have been near enough to smell an old Federalist, (except those in the ranks of the Locofecos,) have been denounced as fit for any thing else than the management of public af- fairs. But it seems that the boot is on the oth- leg now, and the men tainted with this damna- ble heresy, are not only in the ranks of Loco- foco Democracy, but have been appointed to the highest stations known to the country by the newly elected Democratic Republican Pre. | sident, James K.

The English are at last beginning to recov- their senses. The London “ Morning Chroni- cle,” the organ of Lord John Russell, and at whose instance the war demonstration was made in Parliament on the 4th of April last, in a late number says: “ Their (the United States) naval expenses, which were $4,209,835 in 1835, amounted to $8,672,717 in 1843, whilst in the same period the same number of seamen had been not doubled, but tripled. The Americans have now in pay upwards of 10,000 seamen—probably as many as we could muster, and show for offen- sive operations against them. ‘Then the forti- fications of their coast according to the plans > t the Tan -e 4 i: igi aeee pee alae Si Bees: & oe A ; i A Pa ee ae oe Po a — ‘man of the 14th “ cams to hand: six days from the press...

They refused to accept the mutual | right of search, but their government has co- operated with sincerity, and their navy with activity and success, in the suppression of the slave trade. When Lord Palmerston sneers at the treaty of Lalas, gerade! his misman- agement of the boundary negotiations did not not allow him to conclude, is he aware that the American squadron is by far the most service- able autiliary we have ever had on the coast of Africa ? and that more has been done to estab- lish a good understanding with our own officers, and to promote their common object by the American sloops, than by all the right-of-search warrants issued by the Fiench navy ?” While Children among the Indians.—The St. Louis Republican states, on the authority of a gentleman personally cognizant of the fact, that the Osage Indians have among them about 20 white children, whom they purchased from the Camanches, by whom they were stolen from their parents in Texas and New Mexico. The same paper says in addition : “ Our informant states that such of them as have been seen by the whites are said to be sprightly and intelligent children, of both sexes, but generally have been taken so y as to have lost all recollection of their parents, or of the place from whence they were taken. The i _ sell for es OF ly they one the noarticle which so moderate an amount of funds, would be adequate to purchase. At length a dirty little urchin with bundles of newspapers of different sorts and sizes under each arm, making a desperate appeal to me to purchase some of his wares, at three for a six-pence, it occurred to me that now was my times Turn- ing stealthily around to see that there was no ‘one near to witness the pretty negotiation upon which I was about to enter, and finding the coast clear, I drew from my vest pocket that solitary cent and made a tender of it to the boy for the smallest, oldest, and most trifling paper he had to dispose of. The boy winked know- ingly, clapped his thumb upon his nose—hinted that he was not altogether so green as he might seem—intimated in his own peculiar vocabula- ry, that there was a certain esprit du corps kept up among the young gentlemen of his profes- sion consistently with which he could not per- mit his wares to be thus cheapened, and con- cluded by suggesting that as the funds of which I was apparently in possession, were deficient not in quality but merely in amount, I might find myself at some other time more favorably situated in that particular. Seeing the hint, I turned to the cigar man and called for three more. cigars, forking over a dime, and receiving a cent in change as befure.

Mr. Beard, was the cldest citizen in Salisbury, and as | a man, enjoyed the entire confidence of all who knew him ; and as an evidence of his ability and worth, he | was called to fill several offices of honor and trust, the duties of which he faithfully discharged. Mr. Beard was not only a worthy citizen, but an exemplary Chris- tian, he stood connected with the Lutheran Chareh for nearly fifty years, and for at least half that time, he sus- tained to the Church, the important and responsible re lation of a Ruling Elder.

His devotion to the Church of which he was a member, is known toall. The darkest scenes through which the Lutheran Church has been called to pass, were during the pastoral ministrations of the wri- ter, then she was persecuted and misrepresented, to grat- ify a spirit for which I have no name, by those, from whom we had 4 right to expect better things ; among the first to come up to her help, was our venerable Beard, who defended her rights, and nobly contended for the faith once delivered to the saints. It pleased a merciful Providence to spare his life, to see the threatening dan- gers averted, peace restored to the Charch, and its mem- bers keeping the unity of the spirit, in the bonds of peace. The disease of which Mr. Beard died, was attended with much inconvenience and pain for more than three weeks, but assumed no alarming appearance, until Mon- day preceding his death, when the symptoms became more violent, and it soon became evident that his earth- ly house, already greatly shattered by the weight of | years, must soon yield to its influence, and when the ap- pointed hour came, with a firm and unflinching step, he | entered the valley of the shadow of death, being able to | appropriate to himself the language of the devout Sime- | on, “ Lord, now letest thou thy servant depart in peace, | according to thy word, for mines eyes have seen thy sal- vation.” He raised a family of ten children, nine of whom | are still living, who together with their aged mother to | mourn his loss ;—but they mourn not as those who have no hope, for in the last hours of their now sainted father | they saw that « Jesus can make a dying bed Feel soft as downy pillows are.” His state, is unchanging felicity —Remember and pre- pare to meet him.

It is true, that a stray one or two may sometimes be seen far north, | making a few short skips out of the wa-_ ter, and leven remember seeing several] near the edge of the banks of Newfound. | land, in latitude 45 deg. These, howev- er, had been swept out of their natural position by the huge gulf-stream, an ocean in itself, which retains much of its tempe- rature far into the northern regions, and possibly helps to modify the climate over the Atlantic. But it is not until the voy- ager has fairly reached the heart of the torrid zone that he sees the flying-fish in | perfection. No familiarity with the sight can ever render us indifferent to the graceful flight of these most interesting of all the finny, or rather, winged tribe. On the contrary, like a bright day, ora smiling countenance or good company of any kind, the more we see of them, the more we learn to value their presence. I have, indeed, hardly ever observed a person so dull, or unimaginative, that his eye did not glisten as he watched a shoal, or, it may well be called, a covey of flying-fish rise from the sea, and skim along for-several hundred yards. There is something in it so very peculiar, so totally dissimilar to every thing else in other parts-ef-the- worid, that our wender goes on increasing every | time we see even a single one take its flights. ‘The incredulity, indeed, of the old Scottish wife on this head is sufficiently excusable. “ You may hae seen rivers 0’ | milk, and mountains o’ sugar,” said she to her son, returned from a voyage; “but | you'll ne’er gar me believe you hae seen | a fish that could flee !” I] have endeavored to form an estimate as to the length of these flights, and find two hundred yards set down in my notes as about the longest; but, I think, subse- quent observation has extended the space. The amiable Humboldt good-naturedly suggests, that these flights may be mere gambols, and not indicative of the flying- fish being pursued by their formidable en- emy the dolphin. 1 wish I could believe | so; for it were much more agreeable to suppose, that at the end of the fine sweep which they take, at the height of ten or twenty feet above the surface, they may | fall gently and safely on the bosom of the | sea, than pop full into the voracious jaws | of their merciless foe. Ido not recollect whether the eminent | traveller just mentioned, who not only ob- | serves many more things than most men, | but describes them much better, has any- where mentioned his having witnessed one of these chases. Indeed, they are not , very often seen; at least, 1 am not sure that I have observed ebove half a dozen, ' though | have crossed and recrossed the equator fourteen times. The prettiest I | remember to have assisted at, as the French say, and the details of which I shall describe presently, was during the first voyage I ever made through those regions of the sun. The pleasant Trade which had wafted us, with different de- | grees of velocity, over a distance of more | than a thousand miles, at last gradually | failed. The first-symptom of the approach- | ing calm was the sails beginning to flap | gently against the masts, so gently, indeed, | that we half hoped it was caused, not so | much by the diminished force of the. Breeze, with which we were very unwill- | ing to part, as by that long and peculiar swell which, “ In the torrid clime j ; Dark heaving,” dy in thousand voyagers.

One of the min-topmen was coming up the quarter deck ladder at the moment, when the flying-fish, entering the port struck the astonished mariner on temple, knocked him off the step, and very nearly laid him sprawling. , ] was once in a prize, a low Spanish schooner, not above two feet and a half out of the water, when’ we used to pick up flying-fish enough daily about the decks & —— twe y feet out, = ir b ee, | in the morning to give us a capital break- fast. They are not unlike whitings to the | taste, though rather firmer, and very dry. | They form. ] am told, a considerable ar- ticle of food for the negroes in the harbors in the West Indies. The method of catch- | ing them at night is thus described: In | the middle of the canoe a n~: is spread to considerable distance, supported by out- riggers above the surface of the water ; the fish dash at the light, pass it, and fall intothe net on the other side. Shortly after observing the cluster of | flying-fish rise out of the water, we dis- covered two or three dolphins ranging | past the ship, in all their beauty, and | watched with some anxiety to see one of | those aquatic chases of which our friends | the Indiamen had been telling us such wonderful stories. We had not long to | wail, for the ship, in ber progress through | the water, soon put up another shoal of | these little things, which, as the others had done, took their flight directly to wind- ward. A large dolphin, which had been keeping company with us abreast of the | weather gangway at the depth of two or three fathoms, and, as. usual, glistening most beautifully in the sun, no sooner de- tected our poor dear little friends take | wing, than he turned his head towards | them, and darting to the surface Icaped | from the water with the-velgcity-ef a can- | “ ‘S non hall’ But although the impetus with | which he shot himself into the air gave | him an initial velocity greatly exceeding | that of the flying-fish, the start which his | fated prey had got enabled them to keep | ahead of him for a considerable time. The length of the dolphin’s first spring | could not be less than ten yards; and af- | ter he fell we could see him gliding like | lightning through the water for a moment, | when he again rose and shot forward with considerably greatcr velocity than at first, | and, of course, to a still greater distance. In this manner the merciless pursuer seem- ed to stride along the sea with fearful ra- | flashed in the sun quite splendidly. As | he fell headlong on the water at the end of each huge leap, a series of circles were sent far over the still surface, which lay | as smooth as a mirror; forthe breeze, al- | though enough to set the royal studding sails asleep, was hardly as yet felt below. The group of wretched flying-fish, thus | hotly pursued, at length dropped into the | sea; but we were rejoiced to observe that they merely touched the top of the swell, | and scarcely sunk in it, at least they in- stantly set off again in a fresh and even | more vigorous flight. It was particularly interesting to observe that the direction they now took was quite different from | the one in which they had set out, imply- | ing but too obviously that they had detec- ted their fierce enemy, who was following them with giant steps along the waves, | and now gaining rapidly upon them. His | terrific pace, indeed, was two or three | times as swilt as theirs—poor little things ! | The greedy dolphin, however, was ful- were trying to elude him; for whenever he Jost not the dength part of a second in shaping a new course, so as to cut off the chase, while they, in a manner really not unlike that of the hare,doubled more than once upontheir pursuer. But it was soon too plainly to be seen that the strength and confidence of the flying-fish were fast ebbing. Their flights became shorter and shorter, and their course more fluttering and uncertain, while enormous leaps of the dolphin appeared to grow only more vigorous at each bound. Eventually, in- deed, we could see, or fancied we could see, that this skilful sea-sportsman arran- | of suecess, that he contrived to fall, at the which the exhausted. flying-fish..were a- bout to drop.

A A [From the American Penny Magazine.] The Christian Alliance propose to us the people of Italy, as the first object of inte- ‘rest. Truly there is much in their pre- | sent condition to recommend them to our | special attention. While most other na- tions of Europe partake, with some de- gree of freedom, of the intellectual light which pervades our own country, Italy is | denied its enjoyment, under severe penal- ities. Although the fact is not generally realized here, knowledge of the most im- | portant kinds is now as much prohibited in some parts of Italy, as it was in Eng- | land four centuries ago, and indeed under | penalties at that time unknown. Yet | there are not wanting those who desire information. Many of the Italians have | travelled abroad, and seen the practical | influence of principles the opposite of those which prevail in theirown country. They ave been enabled to cast off false opin- |ions, instilled into their minds by their | teachers, and to rise above the prejudices lof their education. There are noyv per- ‘ haps not fewer than twenty thousand ex- iles in different countries, who cannot live in freedam at home without denying their principies, aid-many of whom are alrea- dy robbed of property, atra~sentenced to imprisonment or death, for no immorality, but merely for conscience sake. In short, there are multitudes, at home | and abroad, who desire to have the truth | introduced into Italy, and diffused among the people, especially religious truth; and, with affecting earnestness, a solemn appeal was first made by some‘of them to our countrymen about three years ago, which was the first step towards the formation of that Society which has already risen to such distinguished favor among us. It may perhaps be asserted that no other | philanthropic association in America has | ever received such evidence of enthusias- ' tic feclings among us as the Christian Al- ‘liance. No doubt the Bull of the Pope | has made its objects to be better apprcci- | | ated: but no man who considers for a mo- ment the character of our countrymen, ' and the affecting claims presented to them | by the people of Italy, can fail to see, that _ the promotion of religious liberty through- out the world, by legitimate, enlightened 'and peaceful means, isa most appropriate | undertaking for us, and that the “ Bible | for Italy !” is a cry that must of necessity ‘inspire us all with animation, zeal, and enthusiasm. The reason is, that the effects | 'of the introduction of that book into that | | land, must be powerful, general and last- ing. Think of the results, first in Italy, | /then in countries under the influence of | ‘Italy! But is it possible? That is the | question often asked with great doubt in |months past. But who will ask it now, | since the Pope himself has decided it by | the strongest affirmation he can give? | Hence the feelings excited by the late 'crowded meetings of the Christian Alli- | | ance in New York and Boston. The plan is feasible ; the castle of midnight, whose | dark shadow has spread over Earope and | many other countries the gloom under _which they have lain for more than a thousand years, is accessible to light; her | very garrison supplicate us to withhold it _no longer; and we have only to train our printing presses to bear point blank upon the walls and battlements, to gain, for the _human race, a glorious, a mighty, and a | bloodless victory. re | pamanctent seat of learning.— Patriot: eee | child of Buffalo Hump, were, ts poetic effusion, I leave th shall repeat a few lines of “Columbia's banner flo Her eagle Riaavoat : Then Erin wipé thy tearful ey And cheer your hopes on F * = See) as “<The toastwe'll drink is.

In our last paper, we referred to Mr. Fisher’s position in politics as he stood in 1839, in which we said he was opposed to Martin Van Buren, and the measures of his administration. We now propose to give some extracts from a circular first to take:the alarm : Nor.was ) "and indefinite in hisdenunciations of his old friend, the General. ‘There wasno “appro- ving what he thought right,-and condemn- ing what he thought wrong” then.

This charge was lik.'y to ope- rate very seriously against Mr. &., provi- ded he did-not manage in some way to break its force, and to this end, he denied being a Van Buren man, and denied be- ing a supporter of his administration, fur- ther than to approve what he thought right, and to condemn what he thought wrong !

Yes, in 1840, Did Mr. Fisher think, that Van Bu- ! ous measure of Gongress. In the Circular from which we have already quoted, we find the following, in “ For all these exTravacancies I give to the President | and his administration their full measure of condemna- tion. carried out the principles of rErorm they promised ;— | their Reform has been backwards.

This body is fully as much to blame as is the administra- tion for all the enormous abuses we have witnessed,— nay, Congress is most to blame ;—for, if Congress had | Not appropriated the money, the Executive could not have spent it.” Now this thing of blaming Congress ‘more than the Administration, is another ‘of Mr. Fisher’s tricks. He knew very well this Sort of argument would seem fair to many, and that it would have the effect to scatter the concentrated resent- ment of the people—justly bearing against Martin Van Buren. But we all know the President, in these latter days, is a partt- zan; and, (with the exception of Tyler,) has a party able to shape things to their own liking ; and that the President is the sou of his party, whose very suggestions are moulded into laws, and whose frown is terror. This was the case when Jack- son ruled, and also, when Van Buren oc- cupied the Executive chair. Under these circumstances we think there is great jus- did he suppose Mr. Van Buren would grat- | tice in laying the blame at the President's door, when mischief is done. But there is still another reason why the | President is chargeable with the wrong | doings of Congress: He possesses the veto power.

Let them be guarded against him.” He is as cunning -and artful as he is hase and corrupt. There is nothing too low for bim.to attempt. He does not remain in his county, Iredell, where he is known, but has been dodging about in each of the others. His sory rufis about in this wise : “ that he has him. welt been a Whig, but that he has lately discov- ered his error,—that the true light has at last burst upon him—and that he has the indepen. dence and candor to come out and say so: you, sir, have @lso been deluded: now manifest the ame spirit of frankness that I have,and “do been there crected, a town has sprung up of likewise.” After cautiously administering this dose; he drenches his patient with a full glass o/ fiery bald-face !

FISHER’S APPOINTMENTS. we would advise Mr: er’s other changes, his coarse on this very ques- tion of the Tariff has been grossly inconsistent. His Report to the Legislature.of North Caroli- na, at. its Session of 1827, “on the establish- ment of Cotton and Woollen Manufactures, and the growing of Wool,” is one of the most pow- erful vindications of the policy of encouraging anufactures, we have ever re: he has not @ Copy already.

It would build up flourish- ing villages in the interior of our State, and im- prove, not only the physical, but the moral and intellectual condition of our citizens. This is | 'v ‘ €. pos oa he.

And again— ia. < “ Our habits and prejudices are against man- | ufacturing, but we must yield to the force of things, and profit by the indications of nature.— The policy-that resists the change, is unwise and suicidal. Nothing else can restore us.” And again— \ ‘Let the Manufacturing System but take root among us, and it will soom flourish like a vigorous plant in its native soil: It will become our greatest means of wealth and prosperity ; it will change the course of trade, and in a great measure, make us independent cf Europe and the North,” &c. FROM MEXICO. We are indebted to the courtesy of Dr. Saunders of the New Orleans Bee, who arrived here yesterday from Pensacola, for the following items of news. The U. S. West Indian or Gulf Squad- ron, under the command of Com. Connor, namely, the frigate Potomac, flag-ship ; the ship Falmouth and the brigs Somers & Lawrence, arrived at Pensacola on Tues- day the 24th inst., having sailed from Sa- crificios, the man-of-war anchorage at Ve- ra Cruz, on the 12th inst. The officers and crews of these vessels were all well. The squadron visits Pensacola for the pur- pose of getting supplies of provisions and water, having been for sometime on ra- ther short allowance. The only foreign vessels-of- war off Sa- crificios, at the time of the sailing of our squadron, were the French brigs Mercu- rio and Griffon. The vomito or yellow fever, was pre- vailing toa colaiderabie extent in Vera Cruz. Another revolution broke out in the Ci- ty of Mexico on the 7th inst. It was led on by a General whose name the Mexi- can papers do not mention. It commenc- ed with one of the Regiments of Grena- diers, who entered the Palace and made prisoners of the President and three of his Ministers. The rebellion, however, was soon quelled and order restored. The ci- tizens, by rallying promptly to the rescue, evinced their firm adherence to the new Government. The General in command of the revolters made his escape; but the Colonel uf the Regiment and forty of his men were instantly tried and shot. In connection with this revolt, it is men- Santa Anna from Mexico, the troops sta- of the fallen tyrant, and the officers and privates of the army. This was done in that leading to Vera Cruz. of Don Sabastian Comacho. « tioned that previous to the departure of | tioned at Vera Cruz were marched sev- | eral leagues below the city, in order to| prevent all tampering between the friends consequence of a rumor that another rev- olution was in embryo in the city of Mex- | ico, the object of which was to reinstate Santa Anna in power. The steamer that | conveyed him away from his country, we | also learn, took him on board at a place | called Perote Landing, several leagues | this side of Vera Cruz,and connected with | Castle Perote by a separate road from : ‘Gomez Farias has been elected Senator DM. BARRINGER, “tin a houses of Congress, requiring the Executive to surrender all posts, navy yards, barracks, &c., to the proper authorities of the United States. | The joint resolutions were introduced itite both | houses of Congress on the same day, and were almost identical in their tenor. The resolutions passed the Senate on the 18th of June, and were sent to the House ; the House Jaid them on the table, and passed their own resolutions unani- mously, and sent them to the Senate on the next day. In the mean time, considerable jea- lousy arose as to which branch should claim the honor of the paternity of the resolutions ; and it was finally settled that the House should take up the resolutions of the Senate, and a: inend them in the third section. ‘The House then passed them in their present form, and sent them back to the Senate, which body con- curred in the amendment. The President is pledged to give full and immediate effect to the ‘ will of Congress, so far as depends upon him- é weed self. The Texan Congress which was to meet yesterday (4th of July) there was no doubt would adopt a Constitution for the government of the State of Texas, as a member of the Uni- ted States. President Jones in his message to Congress, | referred to the fact of a treaty with Mexico for | the independence of Texas, and submitted it to the Senate, along with the resolutions for an- ne xation. . The treaty with Mexico contained these con- ditions : 1. Mexico consents to acknowledge the in- dependence of Texas. 2. Texas engages that she will stipulate in| the treaty not to annex herself, or become sub- ject to any country whatever. 3. Limits and other arrangements to be mat- ters of agreement in the final treaty. 4. Toxas to be willing to refer the disputed points with regard to territory, and other mat- ters, to the arbitration of umpires. This treaty was considered in secret session of the Senate on the 21st of June and rejected by a unanimous vote. Now that Texas is ANNEXED to the Uni- ted States, beyond the hope of its ever be- ing separated again, it is much to be re- ' gretted that some boundary with Mexico had not been agreed upon. It was thought that the treaty for independence might contain some provision of the kind; but it appears that it only stipulated that the | boundary should be referred to umpires. The following is a copy of the resola- tions as they passed both Houses of the Texas Congress: JOINT RESOLUTION, Giving the consent of the existing gov: rament to the annexation of Texas to the U. States. Whereas, the government of the United States hath proposed the following terms, guarantees, and conditions, on which the people and terri- tory of the Republic of Texas may be erected into a new State, to be called the State of Tex- as, and admitted as one of the States of the A- merican Union, to wit: [Here tollow the resolutions of the United States Congress. } And whereas, by said terms, the consent of the existing government of Texas is required : Therefore, - Sec. 1.

There weré no words uttered, and no sign given by clergy or laity. Nothing broke the stillness of the time and place, but the loud wail of a little child, a girl. She had been silent amid the almost inaudible sobs of the older mourners, but when, fiom the window of the carriage, she saw them bearing away her mother, and laying that form in the earth, she forgot the lesson of quiet under which she had left the house. She remembered only the bosom on which she had nestled, and she “ lift. ed up her voice and wept.” ‘There was grief besides—deep seated and silent grief—that will live while the mournerlives. The service had been performed—that is, a prayer had been of. fered at the house; so the train of carriages passed onwards, and conveyed some to their home, which may lack that lesson to make it better. “ Are there no services at the said we to the sexton. “ None, unless it be ‘the church ;’ they have a service at the grave, but we do not.” “Customs differ with climes,” said we, glad to meet one person with whom we could con- grave here ?” verse. “Yes,” said the sexton, “I have seen a good deal of that, for I used to follow the sea, and I found the funeral customs varied in every port, and, even in the same port, among different classes.” “ And which did you think the most appro- priate 1” “Why, I could not always tell. I found though, that however much the clergyman might say in favor of the deceased, the community in which he had dwelt, soon brought his life and conduct to their standard, and measured them with. severe truth.” “ But do you not think that some have been buried in tearless silence, whose virtues have been recognized after their death, and thus spread a sort of lustre upon those kindred and friends whom they left behind ?” “Aye, sometimes—certainly, sometimes,” said the scxton, and he stuck his shovel upright in the fresh earth, and approaching the chain that was stretched around the little enclosure in which he stood, he pointed to a prominent, but not large slate headstone, in the burying ground immediately adjoining. “There,” said he, “is buried a man who contrived almost all of his life to be bestowing benefits on others ; but as he did no man any very remarkable favor, gave him no great wealth, he was never particularly noticed. All, as I remember, said he was a good man, but there seemed to be no one to mention any particular instance of striking librality. He had offended a society once, by refusing to pay for a pulpit, or buy a bell for a church, though it was said he spent the very money thus refused in assist- ing a number of unfortunate persons. Well, sir, when he died, he was buried in silence, as this body has been; and I thought he was for- gotten when buried; but some of his recent acts of benevolence were fresh in the hearts of several, and they spoke out his praise, and thou- sands felt the absence of his kindness, for it was like %: My friend the sexton was unable to illustrate. He failed, for a minute, to find a comparison.— Atlength, seizing my hand and pointing towards the vanes on the numerous steeples of the town, he continued with animation : “Tt was like that. The sun that has gone down from our sight, is yet in existence, and those vanes that catch his last beams, are bear- ing testimony to his setting effulgence ; while all below feels the absence of bis light, and stands in groaning chilliness and gloom.” “T believe,” said the moralizing sexton,— “that if a mam will steadily do good to his fol. hich Aer station in life will | low men, it will be found, when he has gone | down to his grave, that his virtues will, like that | er spirit, and from a proper motive, he will, | though going dowa from us, be allowed like that sun, to shine on, and to be regarded by others.” The sexton had done, by accident, what the clergyman, by the customs of the place, had omitted and so [ left him, that I might consider of his funeral discourse at the open grave.

A friend sends us the following instruc- tive fable, assuring us that it is of genuine antiquity, although he cannot recollect its source. Though a fragment—for it has | no moral to it—we think it is worth pre- serving, inculcating as it does a lesson of | humanity. things in real life. A FABLE. should call upon the people by the tolling of a | bell hung in a temp!e which the good king had to | be builded for the purpose, at which sound it was. | ordered to the citizens to gather together, to hear | the complaint, and to adjudge justice for the | wrongs that should be shown to them. The people of this country were so virtuous that a long time passed and no one had com- | plained of injustice or ingratitude; and mean. while the building began to goto decay. Its | doors had .rotted trom their binges; brambles | choke. up its entrance-way; while tall grass sprung up from the crannies of its pavements, and spiders festooned the capitals of its columns. The good king was dead, and so were many of his successors ; and the uses of the place itself had almost come to be remembered only | as some old Jegend, when, late one night, in the | midst of a howling winter, the tolling of the bell | was heard. | The inhabitants of the city at midnight sur- rounded the place, and found, to their surprise, | only an old horse, which, seeking shelter from | by chanee had rung it. | In the simple-minded habits of reverence and obedience for those placed in authority which | the owner of the beast to be sought for and | brought befure them. It was proved that it had | been useful and faithful to him in his youth, but | that it had grown old, and that he had. turned it | out of doors, regardless of its welfare, to seek a | shelter for itself and to pick up@ scanty living as miserably as possible, by beggary or robbery by the wayside. And the simple-hearted but right-minded peo- who stood thus together at midnight round the old temple, saw plainly that here was injustice and ingratitude such as the edict of the good king had many years before ordered them to judge ; and, first taking from the owner of the animal a portion of. those means which it had aided him in iring, sufficient to protect i old age from codering’ and par him to leave their city and never return to it; “for,” said they, “a mah who will not protect to the end an old and faithful servant—of what use is he in the world?” But this was along while ago.

Gwin: Of late, gracious | sir, L see in the hewepspers, you and your | special friends are taking a vast deal of | pains to purge your character of Indian | speculations and frauds. _It would afford | me great pleasure to recant the unfavor- your private and public reputation, could I do so, consistently with a sense of pub- lic duty. If you have any thing to say or prove that will rebut the testimony of Gen. Stephen Cocke, taken before the select committee on the part of the House of Re- presentatives of the State of Mississippi, in the name of your own reputation, pro- duce it to the people. Where is Col. Fish- | er? Why do you not produce his state- | ment, if to be had, to establish your inno- | cence? Gen. Cocke says, “ that Charles | Fisher informed him that his (Fisher’s) | company, had obtained some two thousand the company was to have one-half. That | His testimony went on further to establish thatthe Indians were to have a thousand sections, Fisher five hundred, and yourself and others the remainder, being more than | five hundred sections. That the company | had procured an irrevocable power of at- torney from the Indians to their one thou- | sand sections. That they were located on | lands superior to those occupied by the In- | dians. And that the company passed off | several Chickasaw Indians for Choctaws | and had their lands located. | But your sinking reputation required | some great effort to retrieve it—therefore | you wrote to Gen. Jackson to certify to your good character, Did you inform him | that you were of the company, engaged | in Indian speclations? If you had, be kind enough to read what he would have said to you in reply: “No one as my agent ever purchased a foot of land fromthe Choctaws. These purchases | have always believed, were | the most stupendous frauds ever attempt- ed upon the Government. 1 think so still, and if properly investigated will, 1 have | no doubt, be fully established.”—General Jackson’s Letter to T.

The best land in this county is claimed by the Indians, who have all agreed to give one half to Jack Smith; a man with one it. Jack is a right good fellow in other respects, but our citizens cannot see where- in his right lies to so many thousand a- cres of the best land in the county, claim- ed by these Indians, and for which he has not paid a dollar.” Kemper County. Dear Sir—Send me two copies of the Sentinel. The enclosed warrant if sold at the usual rate, will pay for them, and leave a balance which you can deposite for me with Mr. Bowman of Jackson, of the firm of Bowman and Wilson, mail contractors. We want you to poura con- stant fire upon the speculators.. We know them well here. Forester has several a- gents in this county, and his. strikers are constantly among the Indians. Ben Mc- Ilvaine of this county is his right hand man ; they expect to get $300,000 worth of scrip out cf the Indians under Mcll- vaine’s control. Mcllvaine isa democrat, but you will spare no man on account of his politics. Forester and his partners have taken deeds and bonds from all‘the Indians in anticipation of the action of the Board. In the adjoining county of Nes- hoba, things are just as bad. Shortly af- ter the treaty Charles Fisher and Sandy Young went through the country and mere trifle. They were the partners of Judge Wright and Dr. Gwin. Big Hugh McDonold was their interpreter. . There are several thousand of these Indians, the most ignorant. lazy, drunken creatures in ly among them, and has perfect control over them. For some reason or other he has entered into new contracts with them, and though he has never been worth a dollar, he now holds deeds from all those | Indians,and if he Board allows their claims he will be master of several hundred thou- sand acres of land.

Whenever we address the Whig Party as it now exists, and as it has existed since the days of the high-handed measures of Andrew Jackson, and the systemised cor- ruption commenced under his administra- tion and that of his pettied successor, we find ourselves in a reverential frame of mind.—Our feelings are far above those of common respect, or partiality for it— To us, this is no mystery; for there are, to our mind, sound and weighty reasons for it, which every good Whig is at no loss to perceive or how to appreciate, “ Whig- gery!” ah, to us who are Whigs, this word, tho’ often used by our enemies in derision, is big with meaning, and in all it indicates there is not one thing that any true Pat- riot and Republican need be ashamed of ; but on the contrary a vast deal to strength- en their admiration and attachment to it. For ourselves we can say, that we love perpetuate the blessed Institutions of our Country :—and we are opposed to Mod- ern Democracy, because. we believe its tendency is powerful and rapid.to the over- throw of our whole system of Government. © In proof of the first proposition, we might mention that the Whigs are in favor of those principles in Government which thers, and which they commended to us? For instance, they are'in favor of a Na- | ank, (where the publie funds can | be kept beyond the reach of rogues,) whose | operations in former times were most be- niga. They are in favor of a Tariff based | upon the wants of the Country, and at the | same time offering protection to the indus- _try of our Farmers and Mechanics. They | are in favor of preparing for war in time of peace ; they are in favor of a never end- ing Union or Tue Srares, knowing that 'united we stand, and divided we fall: they are in favor of sustaining the honor and credit of the Nation, at any cost :— And, according to the best information in our possession, they are universally in fa- en, elevate and moralise the people of our Country, and thus fit them to under- stand, appreciate and support our Repub- lican Government. Secondly, they are opposed to Modern emocracy, because it supports the Sub- | Treasury, which system, places the funds of the nation too much under the control of the President—because the plan is ex- pensive, and above all, because. it affords too many facilities to scoundrels to steal from the public crib, which practice is fearfully demoralising. They are oppos- ed to free trade, because it is altogether impracticable under existing circumstan-: ces, but chiefly béecause free trade in-the’ United Statesalone, would have the éffeet | ; own manufactures and |. of England; of stapy-{; of destroyi building a ) those a ing thousands of our own industrious peo- | SON, as a candidate for the office of Superior Court “ Whiggery” because it is calculated to} were adopted by our Revolutionary fa-. of your.duty.

POSTMASTERS. . The Postmaster General has ordered that the deputy Postmasters be paid the same com- pensation which they had received during the last year. ‘This order, we believe, was in con- sequence of some of the Postmasters resigning their offices. The following isthe order: Ordered, That, from and after the Ist day of July 1845, every deputy Postmaster whose com- missions on the postages of letters at 30 per cent. and of newspapers at 50 per cent., under Post-Orrice DErarRTMENT, Jaly 9, 1845. ‘further, that it is mot the intention of the | the act of 3d March, 1825, shali fall short of | department to diminish the naval force in | the sum of $6 25 for any one quarter, or of the | that sea, but to increase it, during the’ proportional part of that sum for any fraction of threatened declaration of hostilities from , quarter, be authorized to credit bimsclf, in a | separate item in his account current, for extra commission on the postage of letters at 20 per cent., under the act of 34 March, 1835.

Hither- to any document or paper was in manu- script. “The Legislative enactments, transcribed, were primarily published to | , the people, at the next County Courts, af- | ter the manner of the Anglo-Saxons in | These, which had never been the hands of the inhabitants.

Here, in the great Alpine valley, the bold commander found | himself completely surrounded— Molitar and his battalions looked down on him from the summit blocked his mouth; while Lecourbe hung on the rear. The Russian bear was denned, and compelled, for the first.time in his life, to order a retreat, _He wept in indignation and grief as he adopted the only alternative left him—to cross to Pragel into Glarus. _‘Then,commenced one ot those desperate marches, unparalleled in the history of man. The passagevof the St. Ber- nard by Bonaparte was a comfortable march | compared to it; and Hannibal’s world-renown. ed exploit mere child’s play to it.. While the head of Suwarrow’s column had ascended .the Pragel and was fighting desperately at Naefels, the rear. guard encumbered with the wounded, were struggling in the Moutta Thal with Mas- sena and his battalions. Then those savage solitudes shook to the thunder of cannon and roar of musketry, The startled avalanche came leaping from the heights, mingling its sullen thunder with the roar of battle. The frighten. ed chamois paused on the high precipice to catch the strange uproar, that filled the hills.— | The simple-hearted peasantry saw their green pasturages covered with battling armies, and snoty-capped heights crimson with the blood of men. Whole companies fell like snow wreaths from the rocks, while the artillery plowed thro’ the dense mass of human flesh that darkened For ten successive days had these armies marched and combatted; and here, on the eleventh, they struggled with una- bated resolution. Unable to force the passage of Naefels, Suwarrow took the desperate and awful resolution of leading his weary and woun- | ded army over the mountains into the Grisons. Imagine, if you can, an awful solitude of moun- tains and precipices, and glaciers piled one a- bove another in savage grandeur, Cast your eye up one of these mountains, 7,500 feet above the level of the sea, along whose bosom, in a zig-zag line, goes a narrow path winding over the precipices and snow fields till finally lost on the distant summit. Up that difficult path, and into the very heart of those fearful snow-peaks, was the bold Russian resolved to lead his 24,000 men. To increase the difficulties that beset him, and | render his destruction apparently inevitable, the } | snow fell, on the morning he set out, two feet | | deep, obliterating all traces of the path, and | forming as it were a winding sheet for his army. In single file and heavy hearts, that mighty host, one after another, entered the snow drifts and began the ascent. made the first day, and at night, without a cot- tage in sight, without even a tree to kindle fora ligbt around their silent bivouacs, the army lay down in the snow, the Alpine crags around them for their sentinels. ‘The next day the head of the column reached the summit of the ridge, and lo! what a scene was spread out before them. No one who has not stood onthe Alpine summit can have any conception of the utter dreariness of this region. ‘The mighty moun- tains, as far asthe eye can reach, lean along the solemn sky, while the deep silence around is broken by the sound of no Jiving thing.

On | the contrary—with undiminished hostility | to this whole Texas scheme, we like the love and enthusiasm Americans in Texas | show for their own country that they left. | and their anxiety to get back into it. It | is flattering our national pride to see her | accepting annexation almost without terms | and unanimously too,—with the pleasant | contest of which house should have the ‘honor of originating the resolutions, We are not obliged to like the annexation of Texas in the way and manner it has been managed, because we like this love of home and of the flag of our country—for, on the contrary, we can never cease to look upon our countrymen in ‘Texas as having originally settled there with the design of getting up a revolution—just as many are now settling in California. While S. Carolina, and parts of Geor- gia, Alabama and Mississippi are eter- | nally complaining of this Union, this Go- | vernment, and connection with the North- ern States, it is amusing to see the emi- | grants from these States, in Texas, rush with this avidity back into this horrible Union, and under this Government. Here , is Texas embracing with the most uncal- culating enthusiasm a people and a Gov- /ernment, thatthe State of South Carolina is ever affecting to condemn, and express- ing a desire to get rid of. Texas makes | but a short job of the grave inatter of put- | ting off her own sovereignty to put op ours, Nothing is said of “the abominable Ta- riff of 1842.” Living under Free Trade, | even if loving it, not a syllable is uttered about keeping it. It is pleasing to us, we | must confess, to see a whole State so anx- | jous to come back to us, and at the same time so shaming its compatriot States in the South West, which are often express- ing their great dissatisfaction with the | Union.—N, Y.

At. New. York, on. Monday, at. : a __ SALISBURY, N. we WSO UPD TU en | Genecal Jeelane - Mei Lite Polk The bangics on upon the administration are assailing Major Lewis, through letiers from the capital. One of these assailants has drawn the Major out in self-defence, and he accompanies his defence with another extract of a letter from Gen. Jackson. This letter relates tothe organ, and is. the General’s own, every: word of it,— | We give the defence, and this instructive and curious letter, in another column, as a part of the history of the times, and invite the reader's attention tothem. ‘The Major promises to prove | a“ troublesome customer” to the adiministra- | tion. The history of the removal of Major Lewis is not at all creditable to Mr. Poxx. soN who was known by Mr. Poxx to be a warm friend of Maj. Lewis, as proved hy the attempt | to justify the act, and put the General against the Major, by sending the “ long list of griev- | ances” to a friend, to be shown to Gen. Jack- son. The disregard of the General’s feelings | is rendered the more flagrant by the fact that the Major was removed before this list could reach General J. Well might the General say in his letter to Major L.—* My dear Major, I regret your removal, as well as the manner of it. I did suppose that the magnanimity of Ccl. Polk would prevent bim from the removal of any officer without giving him notieo thereof.” | It will be remembered, moreover, that a reason for the removal of Major L. reflected upon his honor and fidelity to his country. The Major very properly said in his letter to Mr. Polk that he had a right to take away his office, but not his reputation. The letter in which this remark | was made contained a respectful cal! upon the President for the specifications and charges made against Maj. L. Mr. Polk promised to answer, but never did, notwithstanding Mr. L. reminded him twice afterwards of this promise. This would have hardly vindicated the Presi- dent’s magnanimity in the eyes of the * Old Hero.” Mr. Polk had the power to remove Maj. Lewis—he might have done this without a “ why or wherefore ; but as he had come for- ward voluntarily as his accuser, he was bound | by every consideration, to have sustained the accusations or to have withdrawn them. The extract from the letter of Gen. Jackson | now presented is curious indeed, and will throw _ some light on the history of the re-organization of the official organ at Washington. ‘There never was a plainer case made out, than that the President, by his will and preference, caus- ed the Globe and its editors to be supplanted by the Union and its editors, as the organ, the spokesman and defender of the Administration. Never in the history of this country, before the Jackson era, was there a Government organ established on such grounds. Gen. Jackson’s “iron will” established the * Globe,” and Mr. Polk’s “ hickory,” or some other sort of will, set aside the Globe and created the “ Union.” The same will may set aside the Union. ‘Then according to the Democratic practice, the Gov- ernment organ is completely under subjection to the will of the President ; and what degree of independence can be enjoyed by a press so situated ? to speak and to act for themselves ; but the will which gave them their positions, and which can supplant them, imperceptibly and inevitably throws its trammels around them, and must in- spire distrust in the public mind. Ip supersed- ing the Globe, Mr. Polk only followed in the footsteps of Gen. Jackson. He alone offended in supplanting the General's favorites: there- fure he was “ sorely vexed.” The control of the press he had exercised—it was a part of his system to control every thing about him ; but the mistake of Mr. Polk in discarding Mr. Blair, ‘who had more popularity with Democratic members of Congress and the Demoracy of the United States, than any editor in them ”—of.- fended and vexed him. How true ta his char- acter, too, are his suggestions to Blair. ‘Ever * anxious for his friends,” be advises Blair, if he “sells to have the cash,” or good security, strengthening the admonition by adding, “se- curity known and vouched for to be good.” !! But who is “ ******* the “ rene. gade politician,” whose politics or promoise to pay neither are to be trusted? Who is he ?— These references must lead to further disclo- sures ; and we will enter into no speculations | upon them. Judging from the developments already made, had the General lived a few months longer, a considerable storm would have been raised a- bout the administration. Inthe language of the Nashville Banner,” “ What is to be the fortune of the administration of a man, who, elected principally through the friendship and support of Andrew Jackson, had become in a little more than two months the sulject of such remarks as are contained in the extract given from a letter written by him ?” Now, shall we not have “ that speech,” de- livered by Mr. Rives before the Democratic Association of Washington? The ice is bro- ken in the extract published by Maj. Lewis— the opinion of General Jackson about the “ or. | is known—the day of the mourning pa. | ”? gan eant is over—and there is no longer excuse | for withholding the speech.

Jackson and the tribute to his mem- ory.— The Procession in New York.—Now that the Public here have paid their tri- bute to the memory of Gen. Jackson, (in | which we have joined—nay, all have join- ed) we feel it to be a duty (no matter how unpleasant, but one imperative upon us to perform) to protest, and earnestly to | protest, against that part of his history which has left the elements of a revolu- tion in the constitution of his country, and for all time to come. Gen. Jackson’s character may be forgiven | _and forgotten amid the plaudits we owe him for the gallant defence of New Or- leans. His war upon the currency, the bankrupcies he caused, State and individ- | ual, the ruin he brought upon thousands by vices to the old times, and his “of jeucy of “ Tip—and—Ty ” in 1840, he still kept in; and notwithstanding the vile practices been a pimp and spy for the Whigs a3 he was mischievous and alarming traces, thatare | indelibly engraved upon our Government ple. respect are just as bad ers straggling for place,’s office, ry,cash. He it was who first held up the patronage of this vast country to the high- est bidders, ‘as Rome was held up by the Pretorian Guard to him who had the most to give for the Imperial purple. What Gen. Jackson then established has. now become cusfom—nay, a species of com- mon Jaw.as binding as if written in the | constitution ; and hence, when a. Chief Magistrate isto be elected, the great ques- tion with thousands is, not who is the best man, or who has the best principles—but who is Jikeliest to succeed and thereby give us the spoils. The -country in’ their estimation is for sale-onee in four years. Gen. Jackson has established the princi- aibe eal: It is now réplied, however, to all such just remarks as these, “ the Whigs in this as the Democrats.” ' But that would not excuse Gen. Jackson ‘for the legacy left behind him.

Amid these funeral processions then, that we have—as a part of that vast number that lined the streets of this city yesterday, and swelled the long drawn out procession—amid muffled drum, and bier, and pall, and urn—yve feel called upon to say, with all the power we can say it,—Gen. Jackson is the first man that corrupted and poisoned the constitution of his country, and sowed the seeds of disso- lution within it. While we thank him for being a gallant soldier, we can only thank him as the Roman patriot thanks Cesar, or the Frenchman, Napoleon. The Ame- rican hero is but a common hero of his class—with promptitude, energy and va- lor, but without self-sacrifice, inflamed with the vulgar love of power, and forget- ful that he had a country as well as him- | self and a party to serve. Washington alone, of the “ heroes” whose history we have,did justice, loved mercy, and thought more of his country than of himself or his party. Gen. Jackson continued an ultra partizan tothe day of his death. He is rep- resented by the letter writers from the Hermitage as breathing of war and blood- shed almost with his last breath, (see his reported remarks upon the Oregon ques- tion.) He died forgetting there were such human beings as Whigs to be thought of or cared for by his country, and full of personal animosity toward his political opponents to the last. Others then may applaud all he has done—but we cannot. We feel for his memory as we feel for the memory of a Napoleon, but we cannot feel that he was a Christian, or that his example was any thing but pernicious to his country. We thank him for the blood he has caused to be shed in our defence, and we bury him with the honors of the | him. sake which Gen. Jackson has left to his country, will, in the end, destroy this Re- | public. His legacy we call it, because just | not the only one left, and that we shall yet be, ‘The legacy of Proscrirtion for opinion’s son will punish his friends and reward his enemies,” and to the “victor (in a civic "| victory) belong the spoils.” In 1829-30 j wuss Jackson first began to act upon these se prin- ciples, and he was the first man who in- stituted the practice of making his coun- try and its offices a spoil, for whieh citi- r so administering soms of a large portion cf his fellow citi- zens this spirit of revenge. Nay, the leg- acy of Gen. Jackson has become so fatal, that in order to have success or good prin- ciples now, it seems almost necessary to | ten necessary to make act upon his own rule, as in war it is of- reprisals, or to burn _and destroy in order to prevent burning and destruction. | The party of the office holders and the office seekers has become so strong, from the bad examples of Gen. Jackson, that good principles cannot with impunity negleet them. The Whigs, there- fore, who abhor the example, are forced into its adoption by self-preservation. To resist office: holders in power, it becomes /necessary to appeal to office seekers out | of power. itself into a spozl. This converts the government This makes a Presi- dential election little better than a raffle. Such is the result of the fatal legacy Gen. Jackson left us, and which, all thinking men see, has sown the seeds of dissolu- tion in the Republic: ~ Tt may belong be- | fore they will grow up,—we trust it will | ful fruit. i} be—but there these seeds are, and in due time they will bring forth bitter and fear- Having such views, then, we cannot assist in performing the last duties to this distinguished, and in many respects, great man, without saying, we regard his | examples and his practices, as a civil ruler, most fatal to the future peace and pros- perity of the country.

As soon as Congress met, on the first day of the last Session, according to the rules of the House, I gave notice for leave to introduce a bill to effect this ob- ject. Knowing, that in any event, all bills making appropriations of money, would have to be reported on by the Committee of Ways and Means, I also consulted with Gen. McKay,Chainman of that Committee, in the House, as soon as possible, to get him, through his Committee, to report an item in the general appropriation bill, for the purpose of rebuilding the Mint. So that if the one mode of effecting the ob- ject should fail, I could then take up the other. At an early day I introduced a res- olution calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury, in the usual way, for an esti- mate of the cost, &c. of rebuilding.—I pre- self that, having always been in favor of | the establishment, | should spare no pains | vised the friends of the measure to get | petitions and have them numerously sign- | pression is that your urgency and representa- tions removed them.

I have a distinct recollec- | | tion that you called on me several times during | | the last session of Congress, for the purpose of | | giving me information in regard to the necessi- ty of an appropriation for rebuilding the Branch | Mint at Charlotte, N. C., and of obtaining my | aid in that object. As Chairman of the Com. mittee of Finance, it was my duty to take charge of the appropriation Bills in the Senate, and to understand the grounds upon which any par- | ticular appropriation was given or requested. Before the Bill containing the appropriation for the Branch Mint came from the House, you in- | formed me that it contained a sum for the ac. | complishment of that object. The Committee | | had already had under consideration a memo. | rial from Charleston, S. C., for the establish- | ment of a Branch in that city, and there seem. | (ed to be a disposition on the part of the Com. | | mittee to think favorably cf it. [ apprised you | of this circumstance, and I well recollect that on that occasion, and once afterwards, when | the Bill was before the Committee, you explain. | ed to me very fully the situation of the Branch at Charlotte, the course of business and mining iin N. C., the estimated expense of rebuilding, | &e., &c., and desired, if necessary to secure the object, an opportunity to appear before the committee in further aid of the object. Your explanations were entirely satisfactory to me, | | and having explained the mattér myself to some | | of the Committee, no_olséction was made to the appropriation, ~~ [ have novhesitation in saying, that, but for | your efforts, I should have catertained the opin- ion that it was inexpedient at this time, to de- | cide the question whether the Branch should | be at Charlotie or Charleston, and should have recommended that no appropriation be made | until that was determined. 1 came to a differ. | ent conclusion solely from the explanations and | | representations made by you. 1 know of no. | thing which cor'd have been done to forward | that object, which you failed to do. I have no | recollection that any other member from N. C, | | spoke to me on the subject, except Mr. Man- | | gum, and if Iam not mistaken, he said it was | at your request, he did so, | | | } | —— » _ { Very truly yours, GEO. EVANS. Hon. D. M.

He was too’candid a man to charge the evils endured | bythe people of his State to the Tariff. He mid it was the want of manufactories, and that nothing else would do any good. Now, all the evils of the times, and more too, are charged onthe Tarif! ‘The “ tariff taxes” are so high that the people’are crushed under them. No- thing else will de now but to take off the “Tariff. k is unequal .and oppressive—enriching the North and impoverishing the South. Manufac- lories even, can’t save us unless they turn out Domestics at 3 cents per yard. ‘This shows Mr. F’s consistency: Now that we have some | fittories in N. Carolina, he is striving to knock them in the head, He knows very well that it is utterly impossible for our Factories to sustain themselves by selling Domestics at three cents. Nay, he knows very well that our Factories Cam scarcely sustain themselves at the present prices; and that there is not an establishment inthe State whose stock is above par. To com. pell them, therefore, to sell Domestics at three als, you starve the hands that are engaged in thebusiness, and break down the whole system from one end’ of the Country to the other, and We will dhen find ourselves the poor dependents foreign Countries, Mr. Fisher's plan to buiid | ® the, State in. 1828, was to erect Factories ; td hethad the gratification to find the people Wthe old North adopting it.

I refer to page 11 of said pamphlet for my enclosing it to you. There my name is used. Now, I state, one, as my agent, ever purchased a foot of land | from the Choctaws. ‘These purchases, I have frauds ever attempted upon the Government, I think so still, and, if properly investigated, will, I have no doubt, be fully established. To pre- vent fraud, the Choctaw treaty conferred reser- stead of approving these sales, I always viewed | them as frauds of the blackest kind, and do still ; and believe that there is not one of them ought to be confirmed to 2 white man. it right to say thus much to you, in your situa- ANDREW JACKSON. servant, <> Why has Mr. Fisher become a candi- date for Congress at this particular time ? Is it because the welfare of the country, about in danger of being ruined? If such is the fact, to-Congress, in August 39? And why has he not been exerting bimself to avert the threaten- ed calamity that is now ready to befal his be- loved country in his (Mr. Fisher’s) estimation ? But if there is any danger now of difficulty com- ing upon the nation, it has been brought about by the party, (the Locofoco party we mean) to which, Mr. Fisher has been open/y attached, since 1840, by fastening upon the People of the United States measures anti-republican and highly destructive to the dearest interest of the country, and which he has on more than one oc- casion, so denounced, in the strongest lan- guage. Now, we ask, in the name of common sense, is Mr. Fisher the man to extricate the the Locofocos is about to fasten upon it? By no means ; but on the other hand, ought to be held responsible by the People for neglecting the country in the hour of need. For, instead of being found opposing these measures, as in days of yore, is now leagued with the enemies of his country in trying to fasten them upon the nation!

It was the remark of a time-honored veteran in the cause of total abstinence, that idleness was the ent of drunkenness. And if our vil- re loungers, briefless lawyers, and doc- tors, who ride without patients, and young- sters with gloves, who are too proud to in vengeance, strike: his mercy ruled the | hour.— “Like as a father pitieth his chil- | dren”,so he pitied them.

The following is an extract from an ad- dress delivered at the laying of the corner | stone of a new Presbyterian church, in Princeton, Ky., by the pastor, Rev. S. S. Templeton : There is one instance recorded by the pen of the historian to which I will refer | you for a moment. On the morning of our national birth-day, the 4th of July, 1776, when the declaration of American Independence was made, when the com- mittee, previonsly appoiuted to draft that | instrument, made their report through their chairman, Thomas Jefferson, and | when it was read, the house—hesitated. That instrnment, they saw cut them off | even from the mercy of Great Britain.— They saw with prophetic vision all the horrors of a sanguary war; carnage and | desolation passed in swift review before them. ‘They saw the prospect of having rivetted still more closely upon their al- ready chafed and bleeding limbs the chains ot slavery. The house seemed to wave —silence deep and solemn, silence reign- ed throughout the hall of the spacious capitol. Every countenance indicated that deep meditation was at work; and |the solemn resolutions were calling for | double energy. At this fearful crisis, when the very destiny of our country seemed to be suspended upon the action of the mc- ment, the silence, the painful silence, was | broken. An aged patriarch arose—a ve- nerable and stately form, his head white | with the frosts of many years. He cast | on the assembly a look of inexpressible in- | terest and unconquerable determination ; while on his visage the hue of age was lost in the burning patriotism that fired his cheek. ™ There is,” said he, “a tide | in the affairs of men, a nick of time. We perceive it now before us. That noble instrument upon your table, which insures immortality to its author, should be in- scribed this very morning, by every pen in the house. He who will not respond to its accents, and strain every nerve to carry into effect its provisions, is unwor- thy the name of a freeman. Although these gray hairs must soon descend into the sepulchre, I would infinitely rather they should descend thither by the hands of the public executioner, than desert at this crisis, the sacred cause of my coun- try.” The patriarch sat down and forth- | with the declaration was signed by every member present. Who was that venera-_ ble patriarch? you ask. I answer it was John Witherspoon of N. Jersey, whose name is found among the signers of the Declaration, the Magna Charta of our Na- tion’s independence. Yes it was, Jobn Witherspoon, a distinguished minister of the Presbyterian Church, a lineal descen- dant of John Knox, the great Scotch Re- | former. The Mormon Temple has heretofore | been the pretext under which the impos- | tor priests have extorted from their fana- | tical followers contributions of money, pro- | perty, and labor. The temple is now fin- | ished, and it is said that the great hotel, the Nauvoo House, is hereafter to be the object of their mendicant demands upon | | their followers.—S¢.

Sandy soils that are | too light for potatoes, will frequently give a good crop of turnips, by the application of a top-dress.- ing of ashes and g0me compost manure. . Asa crop for winter feeding, the turnip is.val- uable, both fur sheep and cattle. The common English flat turnip, may be sown us late as the latter part of July or the first of August, in this latitude, and will give a good yield. ‘This kind does pretty well for feeding the fore part ot the winter, hut becomes soft and corky by January. and is not worth mueb.

Remarkable Phrenological Phenomenon. | I was favored a few days since, with an op- portunity of witnessing, at the office of one of the Physicians in this county, a rare exhibition of the exercise of several phrenological facul- | ties—all in full operation, with “the soul's frail | dwelling place,” the human scull! ‘The acci. | dent which thus laid bare the secret recesses | of thought was the result of a violent blow re- ceived sone months since in an election row, which broke a large portion of the anterior and lateral walls of (« Frenchman’s) so as to re- quire the removal of the broken part of the bone | —thus affording a clear view of a considerable | portion of the cranial cavity and of its contents. | Experiments were made with several of the | phrenological organs. “ Alimentiveness” for | instance, was violently excited when fuod was | brought, but returned to a state of complete re- | pose when the appetite was satiated.

OUR RAIL ROADS. , The Rail Roads have furnished a fruitful theme for the demagogues of the Polkite party, and in the hope to gain the ascendency, they have basely charged upon the Whigs the dis- aster and disappointments of these enterprises, which were sanctioned and upheld by the best and purest patriots of our State, of both politi- cal parties. No man who desires the advance- ment of the people of our State in civilization, refinement, industrious enterprise and wealth, can objeet to Internal Improvements. To pro- mote these objects the Rail Roads were under- taken, and now that we have to deplore a dis- appointment, in a great measure, in the results of the efperiment, it is the duty of every honest man to make our discomfiture a community of sympathy, as the laurels of success would have been mutually claimed and shared. Among the most prominent actors in this ini- quitous scene, is Mr. Cuartes Fisuer, and we are told that he Jeaves no means untried to per- vert the facts relative to the situation of the roads, and their connexion with the State and its finances. This comes with an ill grace from one who was so greatly instrumental in bring- ing about the state of things as they now exist, in the internal improvement matters of our State. But Mr. FIsugR had not to acquire the character of a demagogue in the congressional] ¢anvass of the second District—nor on this are- na does he for the first time enact the part of a disengenuous and corrupt politician. The situation of the Rail Roads has nothing ntests ofthe day. Mr. declared that it never we learn that to this We thority with his party, as Mr. FisHer, or any | of the vulgar, ».r ignorant demagogues who de. | ceive the people to promote their own private énds. Make this a matter of party denuncia- tion, and we shall find nearly every one of the ‘| becoming due the first of January, 1844, was paid by the State, and the bonds to that amount are now in the Treasury; the interest on this has been paid semi-annually at the Treasury by this company, and so far as I know or believe, it has paid all the interest of its debt. On remitting the interest due on the Ist of July inst., the President of the Company, Gov. Dudley, states that freight and travel on this road are somewhat increasing, and may be ex- pected to increase much more, when some im- provements now going on shall be completed ; that no fear need be entertained that the road will go down ; that in a few days they will be- gin to lay down 'T Iron rails, and in two months will have three new engines, two new coaches, and a new train of cars, and have paid all their interest. With much respect, Your ob’t. serv’t. C. L. HINTON. Thomas Loring, Esq. We presume this statement will be satisfac- tory to the people, and do away with any false impressions political partizans may have made on the minds of the people. We take the liberty of subjoining extracts from a letter from Gov. Dupiey, to the Treas. ury Department, and which is referred to in the letter of the Treasurer : WivminoTon, July 5, 1845.

All they do is to mystify and falsify the incidents’ atte t on the Rail Roads, and their commerce with the State. Although this is not a party matter, it is na- tura] that the people should desire to know the true situation of things, and this will avail noth- to politicians of either party, when fairly and properly understood. ‘The ques- Gons that most readily arise in the minds of the people, are : hat is the actual condition, now, of the two so far as the liabilities of the State are concerned ? Has the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road always paid the interést ? What amount has the State paid for the Ra- Ieigh and Gaston Rail Road? What are the securities ? Iss guaranty of $500,000 secured by dae. Bonds of the Stockholders, and are not those bonds to be renewed annually ?

Very respecttully, Your obedient servant, E. B. DUDLEY, Pres'’t. Hon. C. L. Hinton, Public Treasurer, Raleigh, N. C. We might here stop, and commit the subject into the hands of the people. But we take the | liberty of stating the fact, that Mr. Senator Hay- woop, who gives “form and pressure ” to the Democratic Party of North Carolina, introduced the bill authorising the subscription of $600,- 000 to the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road. That Messrs. Epwarvs, Henry, SaunpveErs, and others of the most distinguished of our citi- zens, were prominent supporters of the Inter- nal Improvements of our State, and are as re- sponsible as any others for all involvement¢at- tendant thereon. We record this to their praise. It shows that in this instance, at least, their love for the honor, the interest and prosperity of the “Qld North State,” overcame all cousidera- tions of party availment, either in the present or in the prospective. And although we know that these men will go great lengths for .party, as most people will, we cannot believe that they will recede from their bigh and honorable ground, so far as to give public sanction to the base appliances of stump demagogues in the | | | | | to taxation.] But we deny his position. He also said that our revolution was brought about by the same cause. the Declaration of Independence after enu- merating a list of grievances states that “taxes were imposed consent.” nies had no representation in the parliamnnt, so that laws could be passed taxing them without their having a voice in the making of the laws—showing to our mind that it was the want of a repre- |-made to the prejudices of the nary disclosure.

We believe Mr. Barringer’s re- marks carried conviction to the minds of many of the people of the truth that the Tariff is beneficial to the poor farmer as well as the rich manufacturer. He next referred to the Annexation of Texas. He said he was in favor of its ad- mission if it was constitutionally done.— He was opposed to Tyler’s Treatyy be- cause it left the question of slavery unset- tled and agreed to pay $10,000,000 of her’ more watchful vigilance’; and in Tet ing thé contest, we are proud of the pi — we professed, and @fthe which Vermont sustained them. ~~~" Resolved, That a Tariff with discrimi nation for revenue, is decidedly pposed to Protection, and that all theapagieness” of our political opporents, tiatghey are mm favor of discriminating d ate calet lated to deceive and mislead als are in my possession, and ma by any one who pleases.

We hardly think that Mr. Fisher could call a discus- sion to be conducted on “ high and honor- able grounds,” when such appeals are 00r against the rich. He said as it was held by the friends of the tariff that high taxes made low goods, he would like to know how high taxes would have to go before we should get goods for nothing. He stated in continuation of the subject that by the adding of a single clause by-the Hon. Mr. Bates to the Tariff of 1842, a button man- an by the name of Jesse Jernigan, who had voted for him repeatedly, asked the Gen. to send him some documents. He replied that he would send him some documents, | and that he would send him a Primer.— We left the election ground together, and on the way 1 mentioned to*the General that I felt amused at the idea of his send- ing Jernigan a Primer from Congress.— “AH !’ said the General, “SUCH FEL- LOWS OUGHT NOT TO BE ENTI- TLED TO VOTE.” Iam certain I am not mistaken in the expression, as it made a strong impression on my mifid at we time, being as I ghought, so entirely at Va- to the joint resolution because he believ- ed that step was also unconstitutional. He then referred next in order to the Rail Roads. He said he was not in the Legislature in 1836-87 when the subject was started. That inthat year Mr. Hoke, Mr. Henry, Mr. Marsteller and several others of the democratic party had taken active steps towards aiding the internal improvements of the Sfate. That in 1838 he was not in thé Legislature, but that at an Internal Improvement Convention held in Raleigh in December, 1838, a report was made by Mr. Saunders which recom- atte "\eae f bd, ; a S, Gentl knowledge ; ‘3 elt mended a guarantee of five hundted thou- | *. . inf : crs reac are he materiale ndevitted ata low | sa0d dollars to the Gaston and Raleigh | rianee with the sPirifiet our free Repub-| hire torn the maui duty,’ at least $30,000 per year.

In looking over’Mr: Fisher’s Circular of a late date, and reflecting on his past and present political history, the above gues- tion suggests itself tous. Is it Disunion that he is aimiffg at ? « Is it to the estab- lishment of a Southern Confederacy that he is directing his efforts? _ It is hard to believe that a native Ame- rican can so far forget the sacredness of the bands which bind together this Union as seriously and deliberately to meditate their destruction. But what are the facts that induce suspicion against Mr, Fisher? We will endeavor to give some of them. In the year 1828, there existed a Tariff vastly higher than the one now so much complained of. Mr. F. was then a mem- ber of the State Legislature, and was Chairman of the Select Committee, to whom was referred a reSolution on the subject of Cotton and Woolen Manufac- tories. [Be it remembered that the State was thought to be suffering, and that the Legislature was contemplating, in -this movement, her relief.] The Committee, af- ter having the subject duly under conside- ration, reported through their Chairman. The readers of the Watchman have al- ready seen several extracts from that re- port, which went to show that Mr. Fisher was not only in favor of home manufac- teries, but that he considered them indis- pensable to the relief of our suffering State. The second sentence in this report, iscouch- ed in»the strongest and most awakening language: It declares “ A crisis is at hand, when our citizens must turn a portion of their labor and enterprise into other chan- nels of industry ; otherwise, POVERTY and RUIN will fall on EVERY CLASS of our community.” * * * NOTH- ING but a change of system can restore health and prosperity tothe community at large.” [Wonder if taking off the tariff would have done no good ?] Mr. Fisher then goes into a tedious but able examination of the subject then un- der the consideration of the committee, and in view of the whole matter draws to a conclusion as follows : “ The Committee have thus, at greater length than they could wish, presented their views on the policy of in- troducing the Manufacturing System into North Caroli- na. They firmly believe that it is the only course that will relieve @ar people from the evils that now so heavily press‘on them. We have nearly reached the lowest point of depreasion,and it is time for the reaction to begin. Our h&bits and prejudices are against manufacturing, but we must yielg to the force of things, and’proht by the indica- Gowe of nature. THE policy that resists the ‘change, is unwise and suidfla& Nothing else can restore us.” * Could language be stronger? North Carolitfa must go to MANUFACTUR- ING! * Nothing else will restore her.” “ Nothing else” will prevent “poverty and ruin falling on every class of our commu- nity.” _ (How’strange it is that Mr. Fisher did not think of the tariff taxes.] Now this doctrine is good : it is true as the sun is bright: In the language of this same report, “ it is certainly a correct max- im in political economy, that every State or Nation should be able to feed and clothe itself ;” and that any State or Nation fail- ing to do, “ sooner or later must reach the brimk of poverty and bankruptcy.” North Carolina ever has failed either to clothe or feed herself: She is driven to the North for clothing, and, frequently, to the West the-sentiment ought both to.be spurned and ab- | debt, although opposed to the assumption of the debts of the States by the General Government. These three things are not calculated to strengthen, but to weaken the bonds that hold this Union together. Let it be remembered that there is at this time a disunion party in South Carolina, and that it is composed of Modern Democrats, just of the sanfe stripe of Mr. Fisher,— take all together, and if you do not find reason to fear that Mr. Fisher is endea- voring, artfully, it is trae, to seduce the people of the good old North, and to pre- pare them for Disunion, you have a great- er degree of confidence than is safe, in these days 6f political treachery. loud—give us Texas! They have got Tex- as, together with all her rogues. are now crying out against the Tariff and the rich manufacturers at the North, in order to render the North odious among the people of the South, who, it is hoped will arise and declare for a separation. — When that day comes, “ we have Texas to keep us company” will be one of the music notes sounded by the leaders. these things before you cast your votes. This Take it off! take it off! It will ruin the whole Southern country,—it will ruin all the poor people in perticular, whilst the rich’ grow richeéf under it. Take it off, “it is unjust !”—*it is* unequal !”—* it is a- bominable !"—it is. monstrous !—take it off ! take it off ! And the Northern Manufactories—those very establishments which Mr. Fisher quotes in his report to the General As- sembly to show how they had surmounted greater «difficulties than North Carolina would experience if she were to go into the business, how charmingly they were getting on and what blessed things they were, atid are now apparently the greatest curses the landisheirto! They have col- leaglied with the “ Tariff Taxes!” and are playing havoc with the Southern coun- try. Down with them! Let in British goods free of duty—we will endure these Yankee tradesmen no longer! We would rather see the Manufactories of Manches- ter flourish, than that these infernal Yan- kees should drain us of our substance. If they are not willing to live on Irish pota- toes with a little salt, and work for noth- ing, down with their shops—* why should the farmer be taxed for the benefit of the rich owner of spindles, looms and brick houses ?” Ah! “a change has come over the spi- rit of” Mr. Fisher’s “dream.” In 18382, he was found marshalled under the black flag of NULLIFICATION ; &-there he has been ever since—following wherever the great Spirit of DISUNION leads. He is warring against a Tariff which is by no means oppressive, but is merely sufficient to raise funds for the want of Government. He is laboring with the zeal of a fanatic to produce bitterness here among the peo- ple against the North because she is more industrious, and more shrewd than we. He is leading them to desire a separation from her. He is in favor of the annexa- tion of Texas and the assumption of her These disunionists cricd out long and They Freemen of the 2d District, think over for bacon.

He an- nounced himself last week at Morganton, where he and Mr. Clingman had a discussion, of the particulars of which we have not been informed. Both these gentlemen are Whigs. But it’s charged upon Mr. Graham that he has suffered himself to be tampered with by the Locofocos. If this be truethe Whigs of the Ist District will know if it is—then ought James Graham to receive the cold shoulder of every Whig voter in his District, and his name enrolled on the list of his own choosing. The Editor of the Watchman says “ we have the ad- vantage of knowing you better than you do us.” This is, at least, candid, for we called him a gentleman some timesince.

It is your infirmity to make many wrong steps: Give yourself no uneasiness on account of this blunder— it did us no harm, probably. But there are people in this mixed world, Tommy, “ whose praise is scandle.” NO ROOM FOR THEM. We learn that a gambler, who has been here for a week or two past, but who had been able to keep himself undis- covered, got a walking ticket last Thursday evening from our vigilant Town authorities. This ticket intimated to the gentleman, that it would be desirable he should make an early exit from thé town on the following morning, specifying 9 o'clock, A. M., as the latest hour. After the receipt of this, he sent a request to one of the members of the Council, to be allowed to remain until the departure of pe Gadsden Stage on Friday noon, which request was perémptorily refused, and accordingly he was seen taking a morning walk onthe Columbia or Gadsden road, a few minutes after the appointed hour.— Camden Journal. The Camden “ Town authorities” seem to be entirely destitute of those feelings commonly cherished among —gentlemen! This is not the first time we have known them to be guilty of such conduct. If they don’t quit it gentlemen will seorn to visit them, and will mark them mark them “ black.” (4 The New York Correspondent of the National Intelligencer of the 26th says: “The party ot Native Americans is rousing itself here with great zeal and activity. Ex-Mayor Har- per presided at a large meeting on Friday eve- ning last, in which an enthusiastic response was given to the late general Native American Convention in Philadelphia. Strong teeling has been produced by tieegpting of the late city watch, and the appointment on the newly-organ- ized police of a large majority of foreigners.— Deprecating®s I do the unfriendly sentiments between our own native-born citizens and those who may seek homes and freedom on our shores, Imuch question the expediency of entrusting new-comers among us with offices of public trust or emolument, and I see clearly that a po- litical contest in relation to this subject is inev- itable, of great extent, if not of unprecedented heat and animosity. The great crowd of dis- banded watchmen filled last night to overflow- ing the Native American Hall, responding in loud cheers to the stirring appeals of their lead. ers ; and as the picture of WasHincTon, crown- ed with the Native American motto, ‘ Let none but Americans be placed on watch to-night,” was removed and set up behind the President’s chair, it was greeted with repeated rounds of ap- plause. Ex-Mayor Harper came forward, after repeated calls, amid loud cheering, and briefly expressed his sympathy with his old friends dis- charged from their posts, his confidence in their principles, and his full belief in their speedy tri- umph.” The Louisville Journal states that a few days since a quarrel took place at Ree leon, Gallatin comity. ripen Col. ~ battsand Mr. Gaines, the candidates for in ‘that district.

Let Mr. Polk try again. Every step he takes in this matter exhibits more and more clearly the cloven foot of his vindictiveness ! Thus far he has succeeded in keeping Gen. Jackson’s letter to Blair complaining of the course of the Administration, and Rives’s “ post- poned”’ speech, from the public eye, although they were in type at the Union Office. But how much longer he can keep them in the dark, or under the corner stone of Jackson Hall, that is to be, remains to be seen! You remember that the editor of the Union denied that he wrote to Mr. Polk, to consult about the proprie- ty of suppressing said letter and speech. It is now understood that the fiscal partner was the man who took the responsibility of rejecting the documents, and who consulted Mr. Polk in the matter and received orders not to have the But the “ free traders” would have all these benefits bestowed upon foreign countries, and the profits of the manufacturing labors of this country applied to enrich +he monarehies of Europe, especially that of Great Brit- in. Why is this !—Because the manufactaring States t the North are getting too rich, and laeking the energy and industry to build themselves up, our politicians are Jesirous of pulling others down. It is pretended that he New England States are getting all the wealth of he country, and the South is sinking under the burdens mposed by the Tariff. What burdens? Is not every ticle manufactured in those States as cheap or cheaper han it was before the Tariff of ’42 was passed? Is not voffee, Sugar, &c. &c. cheaper? But why talk of New England ? The answer is ready—because dema- ogues can more easily excite the prejudices of the gnorant against that section than any other, it being a abit with some people to speak of the “ yankees” with ontempt. Buyt'New York and Pennsylvania are great sanufacturing States—eg is Maryland. What shal] we owith them? Set them down as plunderers too ?— ‘erily, we shall have but a small remnant of the Union pon which to centre, the virtue and “chivalry ” of the ountry, if we cut off the manufactaring States from our Arrivals and Departures of the Mails. —__ ARRIVALS.

Last year there was published in the papers a curious toast, or rather speech in the shape of a toast, drunk by “ Robert Hughes, an old soldier, and mill-boy with Harry Clay.” This toast gave an amus- ing outline of Mr. Clay’s history, and for- mer association, when a mill-boy, with Mr. Hughes; and it moreover confidently predicted Mr, Clay’s election. Time has falsified the prediction, but it has not sha- ken Mr. Hughes’ attachment for the great statesman, as may be scen by the follow- ing toast, drunk by Mr. H. the recent 4th July, at acelebration at Urquhart’s school house, near Campbell C.

Yet a smile of love was on thy cheek, Though the heart was sorely grieved. © But the smile soon left thy lips, Mary, ¢ And thine eye grew dim aud sad ; For the tempter lured my steps from thee, * And the tempter drove me mad ; From thy cheek the roses quickly fled, And thy ringing laugh was gone, Yet thy heart still fondly clung to me, And still kept trusting on. Ojany words were harsh to thee, Mary, For the wine cup made me wild, And I chid thee when thine eyes were sad, And I cursed thee when they smiled. God knows I loved thee then, And the fire was in my brain, And the curse of drink was in my heart, To make my love a bane. *T was a pleasant home of ours, Mary, ® In the spring time of our life, When I looked upon the sunny face, And proudly called thee, wife— And ’twas pleasant when our children played Before out cottage door ; But the children sleep with thee, Mary, I ne’er shall see them more. Thou’rt resting in the church yard, now, And no stone is at thy head ; * But the sexton knows a drunkard’s wife Sleeps in that lowly bed ; And he says the hand of God, Mary, Will fall with crushing weight On the wretch who brought thy gentle life To its untimely fate. But he knows not of the broken heart I bear within my breast, Nor the heavy load of vain remorse, That will mot let me rest : He knows not of the'sleepless nights, When, dreaming of thy love, I seem to see thine angel eyes Look coldly from above. I have raised the wine cup in my hand, And the wildest strains I’ve sung, Till with the laugh of drunken mirth The echoing air has rung ; But a pale and sorrowing face Jooked out From the glittering cup on me, And a trembling whisper I have heard That fancied breathed by thee. Thou art slumbering in the peaceful grave, And thy sleep is dreamless now, But the seal of an undying grief Is on thy mourner’s brow, And my heart is chill as thine, Mary, For the joys of life have fled, And I long to lay my aching breast With the cold and silent dead. COUNT THE COST. “I respect the man,” says Goethe, “ who knows distinctly what he wishes.” The great- er part of all mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims. They have undertaken to bulld a tower, and spend no more labor on the foundation than would be necessary to erect a hut. Is not this an exact description of most men’s strivings ? Every man undertakes to build his tower, and no one counts the cost.— In all things the times are marked by a want of steady aim and patient industry. ‘There is scheming and plotting in abundance, but no considerable, persevering effect. The young man branched into life with no definite course in view. If he goes into trade, he has perhaps a general desire to be rich, but he has at the same time an equally strong desige for present gratification and luxurious living. He is un- willing to pay the price of his ambition. He endeavors to secure the present, and lets go the future. He turns seed time into harvest, eats the corn which he ought to plant. If he goes into professional life, he sets out with a general desire to be eminent, but without considering in what particular he wishes to excel, and what is the price of that excellence., So he divides his time and talents among a great variety of pursuits, endeavoring to be all things, he be- somes superficial in proportion as he is univer- sal, and having acquired a brief reputation, as worthless as it is short lived, sinks down into hopeless fitsignificance.

Such is the true uSe of that power which God hath granted unto men, from him that ruleth over diillions to him that ruleth only a © ~ single servant. The manners of a family depend upon those of the master. His principles and practices g00n diffuse themselves through the house ; and the piety or profaneness, the sobriety or intem- it.

Upon the side walk, in front of a shop of old iron, lay in disorder, some thirty or forty rasty bomb shells, a- Bout eight inches in diameter. It was said by the crowd that a man had one of these between. his knéés, endeavoring to loosen the charge with a stick, when it ex- ploded, producing this scene of destruction and carnage. The body of this mam was torn to pieces, and scattered in fragments through the streets, Observing a crowd gathered around an object in the street at a little distance, 1 approached it, and saw, apparently, a large piece of butcher’s meat, which a boy was pushing about with his foot. On examining it, it proved to be the lower portion of a man’s leg, with the crushed bones, and mengled ftesh. ‘The other leg,’ said a by-stander, ‘ was blown over into Hudson Street.’ A crowd was collected round a window still gazing at some object. It was a man’s hand, the fingers burnt and crushed, and blackened, having been torn from the body, and thrown with violence against a brick wall. The mangled trunk of the unfortunate man, headless and limbless, had been car- ried into the house, and the shrieks of his wife were heard over the bloody remains. Upen an iron windgw frame lay the torn and bloody body of another man. A frag- ment of a shell had torn away one half of | his head. He was dead. His blood and | brains were dripping down upon the pave- | ment, and day laborer had thumb and fin- | ger upon his eyes, to close them forever. | Two young men who happened to be pass- | ing in the middle of the_ street, were | literally blown up into the air, and fell with broken and mangled limbs upon the | pavement. They both died, I believe, the | next day. In the street lay a horse dead, and it was singular that he also had the whole of the back of his head torn off by a fragment of the shell. A beautiful wa- gon to which he was attached, was also demolished, the spokes of the wheels bro- ken, and the vehicle almost torn to pieces. Such was the devastation produced by the explosion of one single shell. And et this shell did but perform its function. t was made for this very purpose—to de- stroy property and life. It was made to be thrown into the crowded streets of a city, there to explode, and blow up hous- es, and tear limb from limb. This was the function of the instrument. And this is war. To throw such missiles as these into the crowded streets of a city, is the business of war. As 1 looked upon this scene, and witnessed its carnage and woe, | and reflected that it was the work of one single shell, and then reflected upon the consternation and horror which must be | produced by raining down a shower of | these shells upon a city, crushing their | way through the roofs of the housés, ex- | ploding in the chambers of the dying, or | in parlors where mothers, and daughters, | and infant children are gathered in terror, never did I so deeply feel before the hor- rors,—the unmitigated iniquity of war; never did I so deeply fee! that it was the | duty of every one whohasa voice to speak, | or @ pen with which to write, to devote all his influence to promote the abolition of this fiend-like work. When Napoleon, with his blood-stained army, arrived before the walls of Vienna, he planted his batteries, and in Jess than ten hours threw three thousand ‘of these horrible projectiles into the city. Three hundred of these bomb shells exploded every hour, five every minute, in the streets and dwellings of this crowded me- tropolis. Who can imagine ,the terrors of that dreadful night when, amid the thunders of artillery, ‘the cry and the up- roar of contending armies, and conflagra- tions breaking out on every side, these terrible shells, like fiery meteors with por* tentous glare, were streaking the air, and | descending like hail stones upon the doom- | ed city. Crashing through the roofs of the dwellings, they explodéd at @ side, in the very cradle of the infant, ing their hangled limbs, with frag of thetr demolished homes, far and wide into the air. In this way Napoleon cop- quered Vienna. In this way England con- quered Canton.

Prices to-day just the same as yesterday. From the continent there is little of interest. A letter to the Courier and Enquirer, dated “ Parts, July 2,” represents France as becom- ing daily more prosperous. The King is in ex- cellent health. The Chambers had virtually concloded their session—giving a vast amount of business the go-by, of which was a large amount of rail road business. This is the re- sult of the French Government meddling in all matters. “The summer,” says this letter,— “ hitherto has been rather wet, but not so much so as to occasion alarm for the magnificent crops and herbage, with which, under Divine Provi- dence, we seem destined to be blest.” The Stock Market has been gloomy for near three weeks, and a decline of 3 per cent. in publi¢ securities has taken place. In Railroad shares, however, the fall has been infinitely greater in proportion, but as this state of things arises more out of a scarcity of money than any other cause, an improvement at no very distant day is looked for. The same letter says that another struggle is inevitable in Spain—that the Son, of Don Car- los stands no chance to marry the young Queen, and that the moment when this becomes obvi- ous, he or his partizans will attempt to upset the present Government, and the writer predicts, will be defeated. An arrival at Paris on the 1st July from the Levant, showed that all was for the moment in Syria the war continued between the Drus- ses and the Marronetes. GOOD PREACHING. An anecdote is going the rovnds of the papers, rela- ting to the opposition which the late Gen. Jackson had, while Chief Magistrate to the employment of a young man as Secretary of Legation by the newly appointed Minister to Russia, on account of his want of qualifica- tion. The Minister having formed a high opinion of the talents of the young mau, wished to know the ground of “ He is not a good judge of preaching.” It seems that the General had heard with great pleasure the justly cel- ebrated Dr. Durbin, of the Methodist Episcopal Church preach in Washington City, which sermon the aforesaid young man heard also. At a subsequent time the sermon being the topic of conversation between the General and the young man, he very pertly told the President that the “germon wage all froth and Dr. Durbin a humbug.” At young man, you are a humbug yourself, and don’t know it.” “ And now” said the old General to his minister “ rest assured sir, that a man who is not a beter judge of preaching than that is wholly unfit to be your compan- ion.” This is very characteristic; we have no doubt Jackson knew how to judge of a sermon, as well as to fight a battle, but if men are not to be employed in of- fice until they are good judges of preaching, most of them would remain unfulfilled. ‘We opine, there are few, very few good judges of “ good preaching.” Electro Magnetism.—We learn, says thé N. Y, Tribune, that a gentleman of Pennsylvania has discovered a means of applying the force geperated by Electro Magnetism to the propelling of Railroad Cars and Trains, so a8 to reduce immense- ly the cost of motive.power. * The inven- tion has the farther effect of preventing any running off the track, and so ensur- ing the safety of. passengers from what has hitherto been a formidable danger, especially while in rapid motion.

We regard this movement.as highly improper. Jt proposes ‘to violate the faith of the na- tion, pledged in solemn form to the Tex- ans; and to justify this disregard of. our | own acts of Congress, on the ground that | our own official agents have not act- ed in the matter in strict accordance with the Constitution.- This is inadmissible— too much in the style of some of the repu- diators, who refuse to comply with their contracts because their own agents viola- ted their instructions in obtaining the mo- ney fot which the obligations were given, although they received the money, and theobligations are held by strangers to the fraud! It is too late. We tried all inour power to prevent the passage of the annexation acts, encountering the op- PSition, direct and indirect, of some pro- minent in the present movement. Our | counsels did not prevail, and we must sub- mitto the consequences as we best may. We may protest—our members of Con- gress may place a solemn protest on re- against this unwise measure and the Manner of bringing it about—and it seems fous that is all we can do with propriety. do this no convention is required, ei- ‘ther for the instruction of our members or A@uce them to.act. We had better bear ‘theills which are upon us, and bend our ‘energies to prevent a recurrence of such in future, than to place ourselves be- ‘the world as repudiators, or in an in- | fensible or even an equivocal position. | & are opposed to the convention, and to all party opposition to the fulfilment of | ae propositions of our Government to the | people and Government of Texas.—Cin. | Gazette, The composition of the Convention of | exAs, Which has just accepted of annex- hon and isnow busy about a Constitution, | lifies the whole history of Texas, | Sto prove beyond al! peradven.- | | 2 movements and the movers, | xemp e,that th ets. r d the actors, have been through- ,and mostly Southern.

A RUNAWAY. A Baffalo (N.-Y.) paper contains the following paragraph : “ Frederick Douglass, a fugitive Slave, will speak on American Slavery, at Tal- man Hall, on Wednesday and ‘Thursday of this week. He is said to be an elo- quent speaker. Those who feel an inter- attendance.” This Frederick, is a ranaway negro, the property of Governor Dudley, of this State. who abandoned his master in this City, about five years ago, during his official term. We speak from our own know- ledge of facts, when we say that there ne- ver was a Slave treated with greater kind- ness and indulgence than this same boy. He was Gov. Dudley’s body-servant, was trusted by him with money in ble sums, and the most implicit contide: was reposed in him. In tact, he was rv- garded by the whole family, more as a friend than a slave. How little he de- served it all, is shown by his present con- duct. But black as has been his ingrati- tude, he is a respectable man, compared Tite who, knowing him to be a Runaway (for they so advertise him) thus sustain ‘and encourage him, to accomplish their own fiendish purposes. In alluding to this matter, even thus briefly, we depart from an established rule | with us, not to notice the puny efforts of a few reckless fanatics, whose object is more than half accomplished, if they can provoke a rebuke. mon sense and common discretion, there ean be but one opinion about the propri- | ety of making the question of Slavery a matter of public discussion. That opinion | is, and must ever be, so long as Slavery | exists, that the question should remain un- | touched. To encourage a different course, | is attaching an undue importance to the movements of these fanaties, and giving | them a degree of consideration which they | would not obtain, without such a recog: | nition from the South. They court reply | and invective, as furnishing them the best | means of exciting and carrying on the con- | troversy. It isthe part of wisdom then, | as a general rule, when they obtrude themselves in our way, to pass them by unnoticed.— Raleigh Register. | GREEN SENTENCED vo se HUNG.

Yours truly, IGNOTUS. “Men are made in the image of God.” Gentlemen | are manufactured by tailors, barbers and boot-blacks.— Men are the sons of God; gentlemen, of the goddess Fashion, whose caprices deform her with all sorts of fan- tastical airs and shapes, and whose virtues are on her, not part of her. Men are true to that nature whose | lord they are, whose perfections they embody ; gentlemen are complete distortiens and perversions of that nature, | and the more ao the greater gentleman. Men are men | —noble, God-like ; gentlemen are THINGS, play-things for the ladies to flirt with. Woman is the last, the most perfect work of God ; la- | dies are the produactjons of silk-worms, inilliners and | dressing-maids. Woman is all nature ; ladies all art, and the more artifical in every thought, word and deed, the greater lady. The woman consists in her mind, her soul, the inimitable perfections of her nature ; the lady | is made up of bustles, cotton, ribbons, figured-cloths, flowers, &c., tied together in fantastical shapes with needle and thread, and overshadowed with lace and rouge. ‘To the woman the outward adornings matter little, the graces and beauties of the mural being, every thing ; whilst both the perfections and imperfections of the woman are all covered up—are completely smother- ed beneath those outward adorniags which are put on | and off at pleasure. ‘The woman consists in her virtues —the lady'in her toilet. By as much as the etheral spirit of intellect and moral pufity excel gold, silver, pre- cious stones and shining attire, twisted and plaited, now into one form and anon into antkor, by so much does the woman excel the Jady ; and inasmuch as the highest pro- duction of omnipotence excels the patched, bogged and blackened manufacture of human artizans—by so much does the man excel the gentleman, and the woman the lady.” The preceding was suggested by the following from the New Orleans Herald : “ Men are quarried from the living rock as with a Gentlemen are moulded as the potter’s Women are the spontaneous growth of a warm, rich soil, where the wind blows freely ; and the heart feels the visitings of God’s Ladies are the offspring of a hot-bed, the growth of a green-house, tended and watch- roughly till they are good for nothing as women, at any rate, as wives and mothers.” ~ vy a SEN Kan} SHIP al YNNS NEWS.

The necessity" for the constant production or formation of fat in the body itselfpthere- fore, isnot now so apparent, and the sound- est opinion, according toour present knowl- edge, seems to be that, while the vegeta- ble food usually supplies all the fatready formed which the animal requires; yet that a conversionof a certain partof the starch, gum, sugar, aud even of the cellular fibre of: the food, into fat, may take place, when by the fat which the food naturally con- tains: Of coufse this opinion applies on- ly to animals iu perfect health. In cer- tain diseased states of the body a larger and more constant production of fat from the food may take place, as appears to be the case in animals which no diminution of food seems to prevent from laying on fat. From what I have already stated, you see that the vegetable food eaten by a fall grown animal for the purpose of keeping up its condition, should contain : Ist. Starch or sugar, to supply the car- bon given off in respiration. 2d. Fat or fatty oil, to supply the fatty matter which exists more or less abun- dantly in the bodies of all animals. 3d. Gluten and fibrin, to make up for the natural waste of the muscles and cartilage. 4th. Eurthy phosphates, to supply what is removed fromthe bonesof the full grown animal by the daily waste, and— 5th. Saline substances—sulphates and chlorides—to replace what is daily re- jected"i@the excretions. Henee the food upon which any animal ean be fed with the hope of maintaining it in a healthy state must be a mixed food. Starch or sugar alone, or pure fibrin or gelatine alone, will not sustain the ani- mal body, because these substances do not contain what is necessary to build up all its parts, or to supply what is daily given off during respiration and in the excretions. The skillfal feeder, therefore, will not at- tempt to maintain his stock on any kind of food which does not contain a sufficient sapply of every one of the kinds of mat- ter which the body requires. EL have now brought the subject of these lectures to a close. whole ground which in'the outset I pro- posed to tread. «It is the first time, I be- lieve, that mach of it has been trodden by scientific men, and I have endeavored in every part of our journcy to lay before you, as elearly asI could, every thing we so far asit had a practical bearing; or was likely to be susceptible hereafter of a prac- tical application. _ In the first Part,I directed your atten- tionto the organic portion of plants— showed you of what substances it consist- ed—on what kindof érganic:food plants live—and by what chemieal changes the peculiar organic compounds of which they consist, are formed out of the organic food on, which they live.

THE PROSPECT FOR ‘CROPS. The Weather and Crops,—Rain.—During the past week, we have been favored with sev- eral refreshing. showers of rain at this place, and in the vicinity. The crops, in consequence, have improved in appearance.—Edgefield (C. H.) Adv., 2d inst. Crops in Northern Kentucky.—The wheat crop in that section of country is better than an average one. ‘The ears are long, but they are well tilled with firm, plump grain. The yield would probably have been much larger, but for the unusual dry weather in Apri! and May. They suffered somewhat from drouth, but from the first of June rains have been frequent, and still continuing so abundant as to interfere with the harvesting of the wheat, much of which we fear, will be damaged. | love, your happiness, your homes, cry a- dren are fearful—who shall teach them | bravery, wisdom, and love, if the father | be dead in liquor? Brothers, our brave and great brethren, the Cherokees and Chocktaws, have passed laws prohibiting | the traffic in fire-water. They are wise —their chiefs are cunning, and they scent the enemy. This law is doing them good —their lodge hearths and their fields are | green—they sit down in peace, and rise | refreshed. Let us follow their example. If we make a good law on this snbject, and carry it into effect, our people will | also smile—our children will langh, our women be strong, and our nation will be happy. Brothers, 1. do not. wish you to keep your heart closed. I wish you to open it wide that good. may come in, and drive out the evil; 1 wish you. to speak your minds freely Jike men—like warri- ors—like councillers ;, my heart is white ; I love my people and my country—whis- key is their enemy—it does:much harm, and makes enemies of friends ; therefore I hate it. With it my, people are bad and weak ; without they are good and strong; without it they would ‘be good warriors, good husbands, good fathers, and good ¢it- izens, To Preserve Milk.—At this warm season, {it may be interesting fo some of our readers to know, that Johnston, in his Agricultural Chem. | letry, Says > “ An easy way of preserving milk | or-cream sweet fur a long time, or of removing the sourness when it.bas already come. on, is to add to it.a small quantity of the common. so- key ; husbands, fathers, and brothers, your | oe . evil enin; , . ae ably good.

He says, another | mode is, to evaporate it to. dryness by a gentle heat, under constant stirring. By this meanosa dry mass is obtained which may. be preserved for a length of time, and which, when dissolved in water, is said to possess all the properties of the most excellent milk. x \) TROSE CATS. 4 PARODY.

The crops are withered toa crisp ; the ponds But the city is as usu- | and streams have dried up, and the cattle are dying for want of water. The Crops.—A letter from Chatauque, dated July 4, says :— “ The prospects for the crops here are im- proving. We have had ‘fine, plentiful showers within the last few days, and vegetation shows the natoral effect. The wheat fields. promise at least an average yield. Oats and hay will be light. Potatoes good. Fruit, of course, of every kind, promises nothing now any more than has been expected since the frosts.” Ohio Crops.—The’ journals of last week in Jefferson, Ross, Mukingum, Licking, Fairfield, Franklin, Clark, Gréenc, Montgomery, Warren and Hamilton counties, all speak of the harvest having been partly secured, and pronounce the wheat crop as good or better than for some years past. The quality of the grain very 6u- petior. The corn crops promise to be very fairjas also oats. Grass is light.

The New the only chance 72 of preventing this se ious in f to. our revenue, is for the Convention sof fexas’ to “insert a clause in their Constitution, to adopt forthwith the present Tariff law ‘the United States, to be binding on the custom-houses of Texas.” — The Union, examining the question, informs us, hat this delicate point has engaged the ‘atten. tion of our government, and that every legal sep will be taken to prevent.the glaring mis- chief threatened. IMPORTANT CIRCULAR. Mr. Walker, Secretary of the Treasury, has issued @ circular to the collectors of the public revenue, intesded to protect the Government fom frauds, which are.contemplated as a con- sequence of the present: relations of Texas to he Unions. One way anticipated of defrauding the revenue laws is-by direct importations from freign countries into Texas with the view of bringing the articles from Texas into the United States... The next way is by exportations of goods {already landed) from our own ports into Texas, with the privilege of drawback, or re- ceiving back the duty already paid on them.— To prevent the first class of frauds, Mr. Walk- er directs the collectors to collect duties as here- tofore upon all imports from Texas into the U. Sates; andsays that this direction will be in free until Congress shall pass a law erecting Texas into “‘acollection district.” This course is stated to be in. compliance with that adopted when Florida was purchased. To prevent the second class of frauds, the collectors are order. | ed to ascertain whether the exportation is inten- ded for consumption in Texas, or for re-im por- tation intu this country. If they are intended | tobe re-imported into the United States, the | draw-back is not to be allowed. A precedent | for-this order is said to be found in the case of | Louisiana, in which the collector at New Or- jeans was directed not to allow drawbacks on goods, which had been landed, and were after- wards exported to Baton Rouge and other set- tléments in Louisiana. The Secretary exhorts the collectors to the utmost vigilance in the perfurmance of their du- ties. For a Locofoeo officer, he seems to be extremely zealous in carrying out the tariff. A tribute to Washington.—A correspon- dent of the Delaware Journal says that the Hon. Joseph R. Ingersoll, the distin- guished and faithful Representative of the tity of Philadelphia, in the Congress of the United States, delivered an address some years since, before one of the Literary So- tieties of Bowdoin College, Maine. This address, which is replete with sound learn- ingand practical wisdom, contains a let- lef from that eloquent statesman and dis- tinguished lawyer, the late Lord Erskine, toGeo. Washington. As we do not re- collect to have seen this letter before, we tanscribe it with pleasure, in connexion with Mr. Ingersoll’s preparatory remarks: | "The late Lord Chancellor Erskine, | when id’the enjoyment of reputation more | byated than rank and power could con- | fer, the fearless and successful advocate ofthe liberty and constitution of England, addressed a voluntary letter to General ashington, of which a copy. was found among the papers of Lord Erskine, after his decease, as follows: “ Lonpon, March 15, 1795. “Ihave taken the liberty to introduce | Joor august and immortal name in a short | | geen to you, Ihave a large acquaint. | fant a long and serene evening to a life foriously de voted to the universal hap- of the world. “T.

As a nation, we of the United States are more deficient in the graceful courtesies of life, than many others not near so far advanced in civili- zation in other respects.

He has*no kind of ors der about him;. and then,.if I speak a word he goes off into a huff.. But I wont have my things forever in confusion.” In the meantime, Mr. Jones, in a pet, leaves the house, and goes to: his-store without the clean pocket handkerchief for which he had been in search.» Half the afternoon passes before he gets over: his ill humor, and then he does not feel hap- py- Mrs. Jones is by no means: comfort- able in mind. She is sorry that shespoke so roughly, although she does not acknow- ledge, even to herself, that she‘has done wrong, for every now and then, she ut- ters, half aloud, some censure against the careless habits that were annoying and inexeusable. They had been married five rete: ~~ time Mrs. Jones had complained, but to no good purpose.— Sometimes the husband would am angry and sometimes he would laugh at his wife; but he made no effort to reform himself. “Mr. Jones, why will you do so?” said Mrs. Jones, on the evening of the same aay. “You are the most trying man a- ive.” “ Pity you hadn’t a chance to try anoth- er,” retorted Mr. Jones, sarcastically. The offence given was a careless over- turning of Mrs. Jones’ work-basket, and the scattering of needles, cotton, scissors, wax and a dozen little etceteras about the floor. The reply of Mr. Jones hurt his wife. It seemed unkind. He had brought home a new book, which he intended reading, but the face of Mrs. Jones.looked so grave after the overturning of the work-basket, that he felt no disposition to read to her; but contented himself with enjoying the book to himself. It must be said, that Mr. Jones was a very trying man indeed, as his wife had alleged. He could open closets and draw- ers as handy as any one, but the thought of shutting either never entered his mind. The frequent reproofs of his- wife, such as— ‘ “Had you any doors in the house where you were raised ?” or “ Please to shut that drawer, will you Mr. Jones?” or “ You are the most disorderly man in ex- istence,” or “ You are enough to try the patience of a saint, Mr. Jones,” produced ho good ef- fect.

Africa’s Luminary gives cheering accounts of progressive civilization and christianity.— The editor recommends greater attention to the prejudices, traditions, and ceremonies of each native tribe, with a view to the publication of a work on these subjects fur the guidance and in- formation of future missionaries, and as a re- cord which the natives themselves will hereaf. | ter peruse with pleasure when knowledge and | religion shall have enlightened that vast region. | Wars have measurably ceased to agitate the na- | tives. So powerful is the influence of the col- | onies that a pacific policy is spreading far and wide, and petitions for missionaries and teach- ers are pouring in from the Kings and chiefs in every direction. A wish to learn the English | language, or “ God Palaver,” is becoming uni- | versal among the natives. In nothing is the change from heathenism to civilization more re- | markable than in the femaie sex.

The captain, from | on shore, perceiving that something was out of the way, hastened to the schooner; but on near- ing her had two guns levelled at his canoe, and was forbidden by her new possessors to board, | though informed that he was her captain. She was seized on the pretence of being suspected asasiaver. The vessel is entered in the Courts of Sierra Leone for adjudication. Explicit instructions are said to have been issued by Commodore Jones, amounting to an assurance that the vessels of the Colonists shall be free from wanton molestation. The British cruisers captured twenty-eight slavers—Spanish, Portuguese, and Brazilian— during the five months ending 31st May last. The U.

Indeed, we have perceived with mortification the rapid progress of that paper to Already it is characterized by dangerous appeals to the prejudices of the poor- er casdée to resist the present social system, promising them a time when every man can ob- | tain employment. Denouncing al! restrictions upon any, it proclaims the equality of all men, whether white or black, Such doctrines have no place in the creed of the Whig party. In- deed, they are diametrically opposed to that creed. ‘They are the doctrines held by the low- | est orders of the Democratic party—by Dorr | ecutive assumptions and the Laws or Constitution.— and his sympathizers—by the members and patrons of the Empire Club. We honor the | Express for its praiseworthy efforts to discard from the party all such heresies. We trust that | other influential Whig journals will speak out | upon this subject, so that the editor of the Tri- bune may lose the confidence of the Whig par- ty, which his zeal and ability, if property direc- ted, might justly claim. If his paper persists in inculeating agrarianism and the worst prin- rty. i to the infidel tendencies of the Tribune, the Express does little more than exhibit them by showing how certain expressions, which mean more by innuendo than by positive signi- | fication, are approved of by tho infidel writers of the day. The Editor of the Tribune denies having written in favor of infidelity ; but his o- pinions are well known, and may easily be in- ferred from this single sentence, used in reply to the charge of agrarianism : “As to ‘ Agrarianism,’ we have not a sylla- ble to retract or apologize for. We have nev- er yet inculcated any doctrine so * Agrarian’ as the Law given through Moses, or the practice _ of the early Christians.” Upon this subject the Express says : ‘*The Whigs of New York are surrounded | by about five or seven thousand Infidels and | Agrarians, who in a mass vote the Loco Foco ticket, and nourish the elements from which are drawn the perjurers and the illegal voters in our | elections. The Express has ever bearded al! these men in their dens, and defied them to the utmost. It, first, of all the public journals in this city, dragged out to public view, the char- acters that compose the Empire Club. Judge, then, Whigs of the interior, with what shame and mortification we see all their principles se- conded in a journal like the Tribune! See, too, | the reason why we are compelled, either to make that paper abandon such principles, and | such allies, or abandon the Whig ranks. Such a city as ours is full of all the worst elements of mischief, foreign and domestic. One of the journals of the Agrarians, here, glories over the havoc the great fire has just committed here, and wishes it had been larger! A Whig jour- should he conserva- live, not destructive, as the Tribune is.” Aside from the controversy which has occa- sioned the foregoing remarks, we perceive, from the columns of the Tribun2, that Mr. Samuel Rutherford, of Georgia, one of its subscribers, has recently withdrawn his patronage from that paper, “ because of its anti-slavery tendencies | and expressions.” letter thus : “Me says he considers us decidedly Abolition, and, as he means by this simply hostile to sla- very and anxious to.sce the end of it, we shall at once plead guilty to the charge. The Tribune replies t. his explain away this charge when preferred by others. We do not remember that we have ever done so, but at any rate we shall not do it in this instance. Mr. Clerk, enter our plea of Guilty!” We regret exceedingly that there is too much truth in this serious charge against a journal which claims to belong to the Whig party. The “tendencies ” of the Tribune are much more dangerous to Southern institutions than its edi- tor seems to admit, in saying that he is “ sim- ply hostile to slavery.” There is a degree of recklessness in his schemes for the retormation | of society, which, if carried into effect, would be most injurious to the North, but absolutely destructive to the South. The anti-slavery principles of the ‘Tribune are founded on grave and alarming heresies as to the natural and so- cial rights of men. Slavery must be abolished because all men are equal; and when abolish- ed, the negro race must be raised to civil equal- We have formerly endea- long not to the Whig party, but to that portion of the Democratic party which carries democra- cy to its excess. Whethet this excess be its legitimate end, we will not now inquire. We only maintain that this doctrine of universal equality, now applies by the Tribene to the white and black -races, is direct! to all the great conservative principles of our party, ‘ However this may be, it behooves menof both parties at the South to di He says | we have often hitherto endeavored to deny or | and that which the Administration paper of the 7th in- stant confesses that he is doing, the difference a ae ormous as it is evident, Though, as we have said, it i of hae teat the Annexationists have left him, and of choice that he stands, in 2 predicament involving the re- sort to an Executivé"ict which is eminently repugnant to the Constitution of this Government, (or of any popu- lar Government)—yvet it is monstrous, wanton, and dan- gerous in the extreme that he should exceed even the necessity thus produced, and plunge forward into a mea- sure not only beyond ali contemplation of any political expectation, but beyand any powers which the force of a sudden contingency might excuse his assuming. In the official reply of the Union to onr article of the day before yesterday on this subject, the “ accomplished men whom its editors have found in this-city ”—‘ the considerable accession of talent which the Administra- tion has brought with it,” “ the tried and distinguished members of the’ Democratic party who have accepted office under it,” may have afforded a part of the expect- ed equivalent for the places they hold, but not a very convincing token of their impartiality between the Ex- They defend at large the exercise of power by the Pre- sident which we condemned ; and they deliberately con- tend that the real limits of Texas extend west to the Rio del Norte! They thus admit, in general and in particu- lar, what we charged—that the Executive is acting as we supposed. Now, mark the consequence! The only ground upon which this proceeding can place itself is, that Texas has assumed, by law, as hers, all the country within the Rio del Norte, including Santa Fe and other Mexican pos- Fisher, would bring’ a large ble Whigs of the count that-the yery name of Charle - aa and twisted about by every little” breeze stand that they value principles more than men, and are determined to support no man who has shown such an utter disregard for principles and stability, as has Cuartes Fisner, or in other words who has been for and against ev- ery measure of the great Republican Whig Party of the United States, just as circumstan- ces seems to require—or the caprice of Mr. Caxnoun dictate. Well have the Whigs of Rowan discharged their duty to the Constitu- tion and to the country. They have shown their devotion to correct principles—and we may say with great propriety to Law and Order, by discarding one whom they have on all other occasions stood firmly by! They have desert- ed Mr. Fiswer because he deserted the stand- ard of the country and went over to its enemies ; preferring to sce the mechanic, manufacturer sessions, within which a Texas man can hardly be said | ever to have set his foot except asa prisoner. Certain- | ly, the writers for “ the Union” advert to some alleged “admission” by us (the United States) that these were fie limits of Texas. But need we say that it is too fu- tile to merit any attention, thus to say that our admis- sion, if ever made, would give Texas any right over what } we have nothing to do with? Meantime, where is the | adinission? Not in any act, law, or authority of the U. | ciples of Locofucoism, let him not pretend to | States, certainly. If so, let it be produced. Of course, | express the views of any portion of the Whig | we know (being somewhat familiar with Texas argu- ments) what “the Union” means. The “ admission” consists of an annexation map, or of the headlong asser- tions in Texas speeches in Congress—things ridiculous from the first, and so thoroughly and mercilessly exposed in one of Mr. Benton's speeches as to have been thence- forth dropped entirely by all who desired to preserve for the annexation scheme any semblance of sense or de- | cency. | If, then, the President can take armed posseasion of "every thing within these idly-claimed but false (because never exercised) limits of Texas, he is, for the same rea- proper, bound to drive every Mexican beyond the Rio del Norte, or to reduce him under the jurisdiction of Tex- as. And thus, if he can invade the coastwise region as and take Santa Fe and jts dependant countries. These are the inevitable consequences of the pleadings of “ the | distinguished members of the Democratic party” who occasionally take a turn at “ the organ.” In favor of all this, nothing legal and nothing that ne- cessity could legalize, exists ; while directly against it rise many things of solemn authority. Every body knows that precisely the contrary of these high-handed Executive proceedings was in the contem- plation of Congress and of the Public, on the final pas- sage of the Annexatgon Resolutions, a part of which di- rectly provided for feacefully settling with Mexico the disputed limits of Téxas. Is the President to make war on Mexico for these territories—to make them by con- quest legally a part of Texas—and then to give away to those from whom he has wrested them that which will then be the soil of a,State, not that of a Government ? As empty as all 4s other allegations in favor of these | unlimited stretches gf Executive discretion, is the Union's | answer to our objection, when it urges that the President | could not resort for authority to Congress, because all its | members are not yet elected. If it was not possible to | call Congress together now in extra session, it was not | possible in 1841, nor on other occasions on which such callshave been made. According to the “ Union's” ar- | gument, a new Congress never could be called together | earlier thanin November, because the last regular elections | take place only then. But what is more common than for | writs to be issued for Special Elections, either under an | existing authority of law, or under authority granted by | State Legislatures specially convoked for the purpose ? As for a ‘“ Rump-Congress,” in the elegant phrase of | | “ Barebones” Parliament, if we are thus to allow the | | the governinent paper, why not a “rump” or evena | | President to wield the powers of a CromwiLL? | That our readers may be aware what foundation there is for our suspicion of the design of the Executive in its military arrangements to transcend the limits of Texas | proper, we copy for their information the following ex- tract from the Washington correspondence of the Journal of Commerce, which, coming from a source not unfriend- ly to the Administration, alarmingly confirms the appre- | hension expressed in our paper of Thureday last on this | subject: Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce. Wasutneton, August 5. * *« “ There is some reason, however, to believe that | Mexico will declare war—though the declaration may | never be followed up. We have given her new cause of hostility, as she will conceive, in sending the U. States troops across the Neuces ; and thereby have not only, she will assume, taken possession of Texas, but invaded the soil of another Mexican State ! “ It is very true that Mexico could not go to war with us, with any appearance of plausible pretext,on account of the annexation of Texas, after having autliorized a negotiation with Texas on the basis of independence.— But the appearance of United States troops on the Rio Grande will present a new question ; for Mexico has ne- ver contemplated the recognition of any boundary west- ward of the Nueces. “ When Mr. Adams made an effort to recover Texas, he considered the Nueces as the boundary, and offered so much for Texas with that boundary, and double the sum with the Rio.del Norte for the boundary.

One thing it shows, that where Mr. Fiser was best known he was badly beat-” en, and where he was least known he run best. But it is just the reverse with his opponent. THANKFUL FOR SMALL FAVORS. Thursday evening last on the arrival of the news at this place, of the precise re- sult of the election, and it was found that Barringer was certainly elected by a ma- jority of 26 votes, a Whig friend of ours remarked, “ well, it will do, and I’m glad of it.” Ah! thought we, thankful for small favors! And have the Whigs of the Se- cond District come to this pass! How is it? There is no doubt in our mind but the smallness of this majority is owing en- tirely to one cause ; and that is Iredell did not vote her strength. The reason for this failure on her part is, there was no contest there for the Clerks offices,and consequently no excitement; whereas, in every other county in the District there were warm contests going on for these county posts. When did Lincoln (and Catawba) county ever poll a larger vote than Iredell be- fore? Yet she did it at this election, and it is owing no doubt to the cause above Stated. MR. BAGBY, OF ALABAMA. It will be recollected that this gentleman the Locofoco party on the Texas question in the last Congress, but was afterwards whipped back into the traces, and made as humble as a span- iel. The effect of this strange course was to lower him in the estimation of his own immac- ulate party ; and accordingly we see it stated in the Alabama papers, at a Locofoco meeting in Alabama,” and consequently, that “it is the duty of the said A. P. Bagby, to resign his seat Oh, do Mr. Bagby, do resign ! “YOU CAN TAKE THE HAT.” In giving an account of the late fire in New “ At the time the first explosion took place, a fireman belonging to Engine Co. 22, standing on the roof of a house next to the explosion, was blown, we are assured by the Foreman of the Company, two whole squares before touch. ing the ground.

ELECTIONS, In Kentucky, the polls being kept open for three days, did not close until Wednesday night. sé The Lexington Reporter of that morning, speak. | ing of the progress of the election, says: “The Whigs have ample'cause for rejoicing, thus far, for the gallant manner in which they have sus- ined their cause. We have heard enough from our own district to predict with entire con- fidence thé re-eleetion of.our able and faithful representative Garret Davis.” T. F. Mar. shall, an. independent candidate, was the oppo- nent of. Mrs Davis. a The Louisville Journal of the 6th says that the returns then received were highly favorable, and expresses a belief that Mr. ‘Thomasson, (Whig) would be re-elected from that district. In the Covington district it is confidently as- serted that Mr. Gaines (Whig) has succeeded over Mr. Tibbats, the late member. An extra from the Bardstown Sentinel gives the state of the polls at the close of the first day, in all the counties of the district, and has no doubt that Mr. Young, the Whig candidate, is elected. The Richmond Chronicle furnishes the first day’s vote in several of the counties of the sixth district, which look favorable to the election of | Mr. McKee, (Whig.) In this district there are two Whig candidates running against one De- »»| this office with direetions to answer the -| several inquiries therein made. | tween a Senator and a Representative in sistant Postmaster General, which el dates the whole subject: Post Orrice Derartwen?, The law no distinction be- Congress, in relation to the franking pri- vilege. “The meeting of the Senate on the 4th of March last is not construed to mean’ a Session of Congress, and confers no right except to fix the Senatorial term, during which any one “may transmit, free of postage, any documents printed by order of either House of Congress, as per regu- | lation 539.” Yourself and the cther Sen- 7 etn e Tae “se C jee > } nci- ators standing over are authorized to | “frank written letters from yourselves,” | without intermission, until sixty days al- ter the expiration of your respective terms vilege does not enure to the Senators who first took their seats at the extra session of Congress; they standing in this respect tive elect.

The return from Mr. French’s district indi- | cate that he is re-elected. In Indiana, in Wayne county, the whole Whig ticket is triumphantly elected. Caleb B. Smith is undoubtedly re-elected to Congress from the Wayne district. The entire Whig ticket is also elected in Fayette’ county, inclu- ding two members of the Legislature. In Un- ion oné Whig and one Democrat are elected to the Legislature. There is no change in these counties, except that. Union elected one mem. | ber only last year, and he was a Whig. In addition to the above, which we obtain from the Ohio State Journal, we learn from the Louisville Journal that Mr. Henly is no doubt reelected. Besides this, there are very favor- able rumors from Owen’s district, and some pos- itive good news. Harrison county has given Mr. Wilson (Whig) a majority of 140 over Ow- en, (Dem,) and elected the entire Whig ticket. Crawford gave Wilson a majority of 99, and ihe Whig Representative a majority of 38.— Mr. Owen ran behind in both of those counties. AMERICAN MINISTERS ABROAD.

The New York Morning News, a Locofoco paper hot in favor of Texas, is very properly of opinion that the new State will be very apt to make the United States Government pay a very bigh price for her public lands. In reference to this subject the Morning News says : “ Texas will no doubt drive a hard bargain with us for her lands. To allow them to lay outside of our general land system, underselling all the rest of the West, will never do. must be ours, and to make them so we shall per- haps have to pay pretty roundly.” Of course the Government will purchase them, and of course Texas will drive a hard bar- gain forthem. ‘That is all necessary to satisfy the “original fiiends of annexation,” as the | holders of Texas scrip love to ca!! themselves. | The arrangement is very creditable tothe “ ori- | gina] ” annexationists who put the ball in mo- tion. They were actuated by the patriotic mo- tive of making a rich speculation for themselves. They bought Texas scrip at any price they saw | fit to offer for it, and having no faith in the abili- ty of that Government ever to pay it, com- ' coism of this country. In accordance with | their peculiar interests, the public lands in Tex. | as were not to be surrendered u States, but were left to enable ‘fexas to pay off | her debt. Now that annexation is perfected, | the United States must become the purchaser | of those lands at any price which the new Slate | may choose to demand, and the price which the Government shall pay for them will go towards the redemption of Texas scrip; and the conse- quence will be that the “ original friends of an- nexation ” will be very munificently rewarded for all their patriotic labors. Is not the whole scheme most beautiful? And have not the “ original friends of annexation” contrived a | most original plan by which they will be able to fill their pockets at Uncle Sam’s expense ? rican thinks that “we ‘4 SN wins ae The is els J Np wei? “ And Isaac spake unto Abrabam his father,and said,{ M sh, the ather ; and he said, Here am J,my son.

I., call- | ed the Ocean House, was consumed Sun- | day night last by fire, which was commu- 'nicated from the cooking-house at the eas- 'tern end of the building. There were a great many strangers in Newport at the | time. and the hotel was full. The rapid- |ity with which the flames progressed, threw the whole of the inmates into con- |sternation. There was great rush of la- _dies and gentlemen for the open air, while | the more calm and resolute attempted to save the baggage of the boarders. The | Scene is represented to have been fright- | ful. Fire companies were present, but the | want of water rendered their attempts to ‘save the buildings fruitless.

Plant climbing, ev- ergreen, stem twining, branching ; leaves large, petiolate cordate, acute, strongly veined, dark green above, lighter beneath. Flower stalk about a foot long. The great singularity in this species consists in the flower, which bears-a gen- eral resemblance to some water fowl, and is supposed to be not unlike a duck, hence its English)name. A full grown flower, y including Ae tail, is about 3 feet long ; the curi # appendage, not inaptly called the tail, J$ about 22 inches, body 18 inch- es in cirkamference. There is, however, Prable variation in the size of dif- ferent fléwers, although in shape they are remarkably uniform. When several of these flowers are hanging on the vine, they present the singular appearance of a nuin- ber of strange birds suspended by their bills, and dangling in the air. On a cur- sory view, it requires no great stretch of imagination to see in this flower a com- pound of various species of fowl]; the large head and elevated bill of the goose, the curved neck of the swan, the pouch ‘of the pelican, and the body of the mus- covey duck ; the long pendulous tail has no resemblance to any of the feathered tribe. The body is tubular, presenting the appearance of being inflated—the whole flower is strongly ribbed to prevent it from collapsing. Its color is pale yellowish green, veined and reticulated with light urple. - If the external appearance of this flow- 2r is very striking, the internal structure is still more remarkable. When it has arrived at its full growth, a seam opens longitudinally, in the anterior position of the body, presenting the internal surface of the corolla, beautifully spotted with dark purple on a light yellow ground like the markings on the flowers of some of the species of stapelia. Around the open ing into the throat, the color is of a rich dark purple, approaching to black. The opening into the neck and head is not un- like that of the wind-pipe of the feather- edtribe. This narrow orifice is lined with thick hair or bristles pointing upwards so as to form a kind of funnel similar to the | entrance into a mire mouse trap; above this, and as it were in the bill and head of the bird, is the stigma, on which the stamens are inserted. These stamens, witich contain the pollen or dust that fer- tilizes the seed, hang downwards, and we are at a loss to conceive in what manner the anthers can deposite the pollen on the stigma, inasmuch as they are situated be- low it. Here nature seems to have made a wise provision in calling in the aid of art to effect its purposes. No sooner is the carolla expanded, than a strong and disagreeable odor issues from the throat of the flower. This attracts the insects, and they immediately and by dozens enter the orifice, where they are totally unable to return, in consequence of the points of the hairs meeting them. Their confine- ment soon becomes irksome ; they keep moving about continually, and thus stim- ulate the filaments ; the anthers now eith- er reject the pollen on the stigma, or what seems most probable, the pollen is convey- ed thither by the insects. But after the flower has become fertilized, the hair shrinks, becomes flaccid, hangs down close to the side of the flower, and the little prisoners leave their cage. There are many flowers called person- ate flowers, that resemble the countenan- ces of various kinds of animals. The cu- rious and imaginative have seen resem- blances in the faces of their domestic cat- tle to the human countenance. Indeed, the Ettrick Shepherd came to the conclu- sion, that by a long association with his faithful dog, their countenances had grad- ually put on a similar expression. In all these cases it is evident that a single point of resemblanee, when the species differ in every other characteristic, does not con- stitute an affinity. It is not in a mere re- semblance of external forms, but io the internal structure, and a similarity in ma- ny essential particulars that naturalists seek for eyidences of a near approxima- tion of species.. Nor should we be misled by the eet gos to different species. The so ca id sea-horse, some- found in our harbor, is pretty near- ly allied to the shrimp, and is generally less in size—the sea-lion is a large, ugly seal, and the sea-dog is a : species of the same genus...Among plants we have the snail flower, the. e plant, the er, tl Jigator melon, the hear a soming stage and the hardening of the seed; and still-others when quite ripe.— I am inclined mine belief that grass con- tains more of the nutritive properties in the middle stage than the others, and, when icable, ought to be cnt at that time. * Bat that. which I deem of the. most im nce in the haymaking process is the amount of moistare it should contain when placed in the mow or stack. On this subject there is but one aera with our most efficient and successfal graziers. I think it may be laid down as a general rule, that the more moisture the hay con- tains, without danger of combustion, the better. Bat the moisture must be. the ar- terial jurce of the grass, not of dew or wa- ter, nor absorbed from the wet soil. Iam constrained to believe that water alone, in some form or other, causes dusty or mouldy hay, and that the juice of the grass never does. 1 had two stacks of hay put up dur- ing my absence, in so green a state, that they were perfectly charred at the centre for two or three feet around, without dust or mould in any part of them, and the re- mainder of the stacks as profitable and good hay as I ever fed out. «In the early stages of haying, greater care is necessary than the latter, as the grass then contains more juice ; but in the latter part of July and August, we cut our grass in the morning, and mow it away in the afternoon, and often put it in cock early in the day, to prevent it from becoming dry and brittle. At this season of haying, little more is necessary than for the grass to be wilted. “We use about four quarts of salt toa load of half a ton of hay, sprinkling it on twice while unloading ; and my plan is (although not generally done) to increase the quantity of salt when the hay is too dry, and diminish it when too green, as the salt increases the moisture. “It is not uncommon for our stacks of hay to smoke three or four weeks after put up, and the top of the mows to be thoroughly saturated with the steam.— That hay which we think best preserved, has, on being opened, a light mahogany or foxy appearance ; lies very compact in the stack or mow; so much so, that it re- quires a vigorous arm to thrust an ordi- nary pitchfork one inch into it. “ The advantages of making hay on the plan I have named are great. I think we save at least one-fourth of the weight, and as much of the nutritive property of the grass ; all which is obvious to those who have had an opportunity of seeing cattle fed upon hay made upon the two different plans. 1 will offer as a proof of this, that a farmer,on visiting me some winters since, supposed that our cows were well fed up- ongrain. Healsoremarked that he found it difficult to bring his stock of cattle thro’ the winter in as good condition as they were when the winter commenced. Our graziers buy their cattle from the west and north in the fall, calculating that they will gradually improve throughout the winter g link on hay; and this, too, without the advan- | tages of stabling, which is so generally | practised. | “ Permit me to note another advantage | that occurs to me. Hay is made on our | plan more speedily, and with less risk of in the same space. I have heard but one it is, that cattle do not eat a sufficient | quantity of it. Sach persons judge from | the bulk, and not from the weight, and make no account of the nutritive proper- ties of the grass retained by a short, in- stead of a long expose to the sun and air. I apprehend that the reason that cattle eat | less of the one kind than they do of the | other, is much the same that a man eats | less in bulk of pork or animal food than | he does of vegetable.” A Fair Hit.—One of the Boston clergy- men, perceiving, on a recent Sabbath, sev- |eral of his congregation in the arms of Morpheus, hit upon the following simple but effectual method to call their attention to what had cost him mueh study. He stopped suddenly in his discourse and be- gan counting one, two ruree, FOUR, and | by the time he reached rev, his whole con- | gregation was wide awake, listening, with attentive ears, to their beloved pastor, and will not, it is believed, be soon “ caught napping ” again. This circumstance reminds us of the ex- pedient adopted by “Father Milton,” of Newburyport, to wake up a member of his congrégation, notorious for his sleepy babitsinchurch. The indiyidual referred to was yclept “ Mark.” Mark had fallen into a profound sleep, much to the annoyance of the good min- ister. It was, perhaps, the hundreth time that he had been known todoso. All of a sudden, Mr. Milton stopped short in his discourse, and at the top of his stentorian lungs, roared out—Manrx ! Mark ! where- upon the aforesaid Mark, thinking “he heard a “ loud call” opened his eyes.

They err who deem Love’s brightest hour in blooming youth is known: Its purest, tenderest, holiest power in after life is shown, When passions chastened and subdued to riper years are given, And earth and earthly things are viewed in light that breaks from Heaven. It is not in the flush of youth, or days of cloud’ess mirth, We feel the tenderness and truth of Love’s devoted worth; Life then is like a tranquil stream which flows in sun- shine bright, And objects mirrored in it seem toshare its sparkling light. ’Tis when the howling winds arise, and life is like the ocean, Whose mountain billows brave the skies, lashed by the storm’s commotion, When lightning cleaves the murky cloud, and thunder- bolts astound us, ’Tis then we feel our spirits bowed by loneliness around us. Oh ! then, as to the seaman’s sight the beacon’s twinkling ray Surpasses far the lustre bright of summer’s cloudless day, E’en such, to tried and wounded hearts in manhood’s -darker years, The gentle light true love imparts, mid sorrows, cares, and fears. Its beams on minds of joy bereft their freshening bright- ness fling, | And show that life has somewhat left to which their hopes may cling: It steals upon the sick at heart, the desolate in soul, To bid their doubts and fears depart, and point a bright- er goal. If such be Love’s triumphant power o’er spirits touched by time, who shall doubt its loveliest hour of happiness sub- lime ? In youth, ’t is like the meteor’s gleam which dazzles and sweeps by, In after life, its splendors seem linked with eternity. BERNARD BARTON. CHOCTAW COURTSHIP. Priviteces or THE Squaws.—A correspon- dent of the New Orleans Republican mentions that courtship is invariably begun by the female. If she fancies a young man, she makes what is technically called the first banter, This is done | by slightly squeezing the hand, or gently touch- | ing his foot at a camp fire. If a mao should | venture upon any of these little preliminaries, without being sure of a reciprocal partiality, the indignant maid would immediately assail him with a stick, and this would be the signal for a general assault, by all the squaws around on the presuming lover, who, unless he fled, would be beaten without mercy. Thus, even in this rude shape, does woman play the coquette! The young squaw who screams loudest and shows the most resentment at these unwarrantable lib- erties of an ardent lover, is set down as the Di- ana of her tribe. Giving the first banter seems to be reserved by the woman as a special] prerogative, and they seldom allow it to be infringed with impunity— never in the presence of a third person. This éxtends even to their dances, for the squaw always selects her partner, and sends the master of cerémonies after him, and he i» not permitted to refuse, It is at these dances that elopements of married women with young war- riors generally take place. ‘The woman slips when the confu- to a point agree iT found her quite dead, witha large ge b snake coiled around:her neck. = ry MOCKSVILLE, x ‘3 .

All these plants have their insect inhabitants, vari- ously colored; taking generally the hue of the flower on which they live. The , artemisia has its small fly accompanying it through every change of elevation and latitude; and, wherever I have seen the asclepias tuberosa, 1 have always remark- ed, too, on the flower a large batterfly. so nearly resembling it in color as to be dis- tinguishable at a little distance only by the motion of its wings.” On the 22d, when halting at Wyeth’s Creck, he met with a very unexpected mark of civilization, in the appearance “of a pack of cards, lying loose on the grass, making an encampment of our Ore- gon emigrants.” The first meeting with Indians and with buffalo are noticed in the following very graphic paragraphs: “ At ourevening camp, (June 238,) about sunset, three figures were discovered ap- proaching, which our glasses made out to be Indians. They proved to be Cheyen- nes—two men, and a boy of thirteen.— About a month since, they had left their people on the south fork of the river, some three hundred miles to the westward, and a party of only four in number had been to the Pawnee villages on a horse steal- ing excursion, from which they were re- turning unsuccessful. They were miser- ably mounted on wild horses from the Ar- kansas plains, and had no other weapons than bows and long spears; and, had they been discovered by the Pawnees, could not, by any possibility, have escaped.— They were mortified by their ill success, and said the Pawnees were cowards, who shat up their horses in their lodges at night. I invited them to supper with me, and Randolph and the young Cheyenne, who had been eyeing each other suspi- ciously and curiously, soon became inti- mate friends. After supper, we sat down upon the grass, and I placed a sheet of paper between us, on which they traced ru. ly, but with a certain degree of rela- tive truth, the water-courses of the coun- |try which lay between us and their villa- ges, and of which I desired to have some information. Their companions, they told us, had taken a nearer route over the hills ; but they had mounted one of the summits to spy out the country, whence they had caught a glimpse of our party, and, con- fident of good treatment at the hands of the whites, hastened to join company.” “The air was keen the next morning at sunrise, the thermometer standing at 44 degrees, and it was sufficiently cold to make overcoats very comfortable. A few miles brought us into the midst of the buf- fulo, swarming in immense numbers over the plains, where they had left scarcely a blade of grass standing. Mr. Pruess, who was sketching at a little distance in the rear, had at first noted themas large groves of timber. In the sight of such a mass of life, the traveller feels a strange emotion of grandeur. We had heard from a dis- tance adall and confused marmuring, and when we came in view of their dark mass- es, there was not one among us who did not feel his heart beat quicker. It was the early part of the day, whea the herds are feeding, and every where they were in motion. ILlere and there a huge old bull was rolling in the grass, and clouds ot dust rose in the air from various parts of the bands, each the scene of some ob- stinate fight. Indians and buffalo make the poetry and life of the prairie, and our camp was full of their exhilation. In place of the quiet monotony of the march, re- | lieved only by the cracking of the whip, and an ‘avance done! enfant de garce !’ shouts and songs resounded from every part of the line, and our evening camp | was always the commencement of a feast, which terminated only with our departure on the following morning. At any time | of the night might be seen pieces of the most delicate and choicest meat roasting | en appolus on sticks around the fire, and the guard were never without company, With pleasant weather and no enemy to fear, an abundance of the most excellent | meat, ty of bread or tobacco, and noscarcl é | they were enjoying the oasis of a voya- | geur’s life.” a inth = « As we were riding slowly along this afternoon, (July 4,) Clouds of dast in the | ravi e bands | a far as theeyecouldreach ; leaving around \ifour ‘medicine days came otten.’ air with fragrance. pana i sOn''the "14th; the foll ; log : . jee le, a ge ry, is ee os ast = Ww © es id j ‘tee . ,- 7 »f .

In a short time they sur- rounded us on every side, extending for several miles in the rear, and forward as a us, aS we advanced, an open space of on- ly two or three hundred yards. This move- ment of the buffalo indicated to us the presence of Indians on the North fork... | “T halted earlier than usual about forty | miles from the junction, and all hands were | soon busily engaged in preparing a feast to | celebrate the day.- The kindness of our friends at St. Louis had provided us with | a large supply of excellent preserves and rich fruit eake ; and when these were ad- | ded to a maccaroni soup and variously prepared dishes of the choicest buffalo meat, crowned with a cup of coffee, and enjoyed with prairie appetite, we felt, as we sat in barbaric luxury around our smoking supper on the grass, a greater sensation of enjoyment than the Roman epicure at his perfumed feast. But, most of all, it seemed to please our Indian friends, who, in the unrestrained enjoy- ment of the moment, demanded to know No} restraint was exercised at the hospitable board, and, to the great delight of his eld- | ers, our young Indian had made himself) extremely drunk.” “On the 6th we crossed the bed of a' considerable stream, now entirely dry—a | bed of sand. In a grove of willows, near | the mouth, were the remains of a consid- erable fort, constructed of trunks of large | trees. It was apparently very old, and | had probably been the scene of some hos- | tile encounter among the roving tribes.— Its solitude formed an impressive contrast | to the picture which our imaginations in- | voluntarily drew of the busy scene which | had been enacted here. The timber ap- peared to have been much more extensive formerly than now. There were but few trees, a kind of long-leaved willow, stand- ing ; and numerous trunks of large trees were scattered about on the ground. In many similar places I had occasion to re- mark an apparent progressive decay in| the timber.” It is an important inquiry to what this | decay of timber is owing, and whether it | exists generally in this region? Too ma- ny accurate observations cannot be made, or too many facts recorded, as to its ex- tent and the accompanying circumstances. | On the 7th July, we find the following | anecdote curiously illustrative of the his- tory and habits of the buffalo : “In the course of the afternoon, dust rising among the hills ata particular place attracted our attention; and, riding up, we found a band of eighteen or twenty buffalo bulls engaged in a desperate fight. Though butting and goring were bestow- ed liberally and without distinction, yet their efforts were evidently directed a- gainst one—a huge old bull, very lean, while his adversaries were all fat and in good order. He appeared very weak, and had already received some wounds, and while we were looking on, was several times knocked down and badly hurt, and a very few minutes would have put an end to him. Of course we took the side of the weaker party, and attacked the herd; but they were so blind with rage that they fought on, utterly regardless of our presence, although on foot and on horseback we were firing in open view within twenty yards of them. But this did not last long. Ina very few seconds we created a commotion among them.— One or two which were knocked over by the balls jumped up and ran off into the hills; and they began to retreat slowly along a broad ravine to the river, fighting furiously as they went. By the time they had reached the bottom we had pretty well dispersed them, and the old bull hob- bled off to lie down somewhere.” rt The great beauty, profusion, and varic- ty of the flowers in the wilderness is of- ten noted. Onthe 12th July “our road lay down the valley of the Platte, which resembled a garden in the splendor of fields of varied flowers, which filled the The only timber I noticed consisted’of popular, birch, cotton- wood, and willow.” On the 13th, when in longitude 104 de- grees 39 min. 37 sec. and latitude 41 deg. 8 min. 31 sec., and at an elevation of 5,- 440 feet above the sea, Captain Fremont | says: jcal'seene is notiéed >" © pees ce ‘4 —_e a in 2 tO | Va oT oe ito.

On the waters of White river, where this formation ex- ists in great extent, it presents appear- ances which excite the admiration of the solitary voyageur, and form a frequent theme of their conversation when speak- ing of the wonders of the country. Some- times it offers the perfectly illusive ap- pearance of a large city, with numerous streets and magnificent buildings, among which the Canadians never fail to see.their cabaret ; and sometimes it takes the form of asolitary house, with many large cham- bers, into which they drive their horses at night, and sleep in these natural defences perfectly secure from any attack of prowl- ing savages. Before reaching our camp at Goshen’s hole, in crossing the immense detritus at the foot of the Castle rock, we were involved amidst winding passages | cut by the waters of the hill; and where, | with a breadth scarcely large enough for | of the gorge: where the» Platte the passage of a horse, the walls rise thir- | Black-hills, changing” its.

On the 15th of July, the party reached | prepared, I visited this place w Fort John, or Laramie, a post of the Amer- | man, Basil Lajeunesse.. Entert ican Fur Company, situated near the junc- tion of the Laramie withthe Platte. Re- specting this post Capt. F. says: “It is hardly necessary to say that the object of the establishment is to trade with the neighboring tribes, who, in the course visits to the fort. In addition to this, tra- ders, with a small outfit, are constantly ing-glasses, rings, vermillion for painting, tobacco, and principally, and in spite of the prohibition, of spirits, brought into the country in the form of alcohol, and diluted While mention- ing this fact, it is but justice to the Amer- ican Fur Company to state, that, through- out the country, I have always found them strenuously opposed to the introduction of spirituous liquors. But, in the’ present; state of things, when the country is sup- plied with alcohol, when a keg of it will purchase from an Indian every thing he possesses—his furs, his lodge, his horses, and even his wife and children—atfd when any vagabond who has money enough to purchase a mule can go intoa village and trade against then? successfully, without withdrawing entirely from the trade, it is |impossible for them to discontinue its use. In their opposition to this practice, the com- pany is sustained, not only by their obli- gation io the laws of the country and the welfare of the Indians, but clearly. also, on grounds of policy; for, with heavy and /expensive outfits, they centend at mani- festly great disadvantage against the nu- merous independent and unlicensed tra- ders, who enter the country from various avenues, from the United States and from | _Mexico, having no other stock in trade \than some kegs of liquor, which they sell at the modest price of thirty-six ‘dollars per gallon. The difference between the regular trader and the coureur’ des bois, (as the French call the itinerant or ped- dling traders.) with respect to the sale of spirits, is here, as it always has been, fixed and permanent, and growing out of the nature of theirtrade. The regular trader looks ahead, and has .an interest in the preservation of the Indiahs, and in the regular pursuit of their business, and the preservation of their arms. horses, and every thing necessary to their future and permanent success in hunting: the coureur des bois, has no permanent interest, and gets what he can, and for what he can, from every Indian he meets, even at the risk of disabling him from doing any thing more at hunting. “The fort had a very cool and clean ap- pearance.

Easily in the morning the Bank and the Factory, with their agents, were busily at work, The Merchants | and their Clerks too, quit their desks and took the field in search of every voter under obligations to them ; and the influence of ‘the ledger was brought to bear directly upon the freedom of elections. But with all this extra- ordinary exertion on the part of the Federalists and Mo- nopolists, if they had cast none but legal votes, Fisher precinet 927 votes polled, and two-thirds of these were polled- by dinner-time—so that there was but a poor chafice to prevent fraudulent voting. But I am satisfied that at least fifty fraudulent votes were polled at that one box.

But is it rational to reject the lights which it af- fords? Whatis the earth but a miglity chemical compound and how is it possible | properly to appreciate and use its, ingre- | dients; without a knewledge of their na- | tures? Soils differ in their composition and all grains in their constituents. Ey- | ery man knows from his own experience, | that some soils suit one plant better than | others—and. these very men who reject all | science in agriculture as mere humbug, act upon this principle of adopting their | crops to their lands. Now if this bea proper course to pursue, why will they not | go one step farther, and learn the reason | for their preferences? But no, this would | No profitable system of husbandry can be prosecuted without a proper knowledge | of the basis on which we build. The far- mer should know the elementary constit- | uents of his soil ; he should know the con- stituents of the plants he cultivates,—know- §| ing these, he learns the ingredients want- ing in his soil to grow the crop profitably, and with a proper knowledge of the con- | stituents of each manure, he is enabled to | apply that kind which will accomplish his object. The knowledge is indispensible to the farmer who seeks the improvement of his lands. Labor is often thrown away without it, which would be profitably em- ployed with it. Some soils only require sand, others only clay to make them produc- tive. Lime,oneof the most valuable of all fertilizers, is not only rendered valueless by an improper application of it, but some- times it renders the soil to which it is ap- plied sterile and worthless. The secret of success then lies in a knowledge of the constituents of the soil, and the like know- ledge of the constituents of the manure. Every farmer knows full well, that he cannot plant a succession of like crops up- on the same land, without greatly reduc- ing the amount of the product, and the rea- son is obvious; each crop takes from the soil the salts necessary to its existence, and unless they are returned toit by manur- | ing, exhaustion follows, and sterility is in- | evitable. The true maxim is to give back to the soil annually full measure of what- ever is taken from it by the crop; in fact we should give back annually more than we take from it, by such means we in- crease the crops and enrich our lands.— To do this, the farmer must know what he can give back. This alone can be de- rived from that much despised system, called “ book farming.” It is obvious that without this knowledge, all efforts at re-| storation are controlled by accident and uncertainty ; and the result must and will . prove unsatisfactory and discouraging. | would not argue that it is necessary that every farmer should understand the whole p look an honest.man in the eye squints, and the other Ke a pea on a hot shovel. | mps are awful, the lying | ‘like a wen, and the steal. | igthathe’d makea mighty | meriora bank. 1'll swear that | © Man in the moon I’m looking Ma tetiow had better wear a mask. | epeul, continued Brough, taking fom. the telescope, “is the fellow the moon?” As Brongh very bug his interrogation to the Pro- Wholé company, which had sed With laughter while lis- he editors brilliant astronomi- roared aloud, For five min- stood Brough, looking as ya- | apple dumpling at the uproar-_ ers, wondering what had got | At length, one of the | patos sufficiently com- | ys Le rough, you’re hoax- | ‘ arr, ww Some wag had Fiat he tube, and, ot describing the ad given a pretty fatth- own a eee aanee— Als Ugly eyes, e depth of his ging his head down over | to th : Se wheat has science of agricultural chemistry in order to improve his lands, but I do contend that he should understand some of the ele- mentary principles of it, that he m ply to them practical purposes. Hence, to obtained this knowledge—which is be- | yond the reach of the great masses, is the object of agricultural societies and the cir- culation of agricultural papers. | A few facts will illustrate the truth of what I say. In Rhode Island an analysis was made, and estimate based upon it of the saline contents taken from one field which had been cultivated for eight years, and the result was Potash 424 Ib.; Soda | 131 lb.; Lime 5382 Ib.; Magnesia 64 Jb. 5 | Alumina 5 Ib. ; Silica 890 Ib. ; Sulphuric | Acid 113 1b.; Phosphoric Acid. 108 Ib. ; and Chlorine 58 Ib, Here then a large quantity of salts have | been withdrawn from the earth by culti- | vation. | Nature does not restore them as rapidly as they are taken away, but by knowing them, science enables us to re- | store them, and rp ay ap- p the land productive | tisé become sterile.

Thus it will be seen that there isa great difference in the capacity of the different kinds of food to form fat or flesh. Peas and Beans give flesh; Corn, Oats and Barley give fat.

Although not dispos- ‘ed to question the accuracy of the results | stated, we’ must still affirm our want of ‘confidence in the excessive merit’claimed ‘by them. These preparations are useful | in two ways: First, by saturating the seeds | with substances distasteful to its enemies —insects, grubs, and worms; and, second- ly, by affording to it an element of nutri- | tion for the future plant, it is enabled to | push forward vigorously in the first stages of its growth, and send out its roots and leaves rapidly ; so as to derive an increas- |ed amount of nourishment from the soil and atmosphere, beyond other plants which lack this early, rapid development of its organs of nutrition ; by which means they | are not only enabled to reach further for their food in the soil, and open an addi- tional number of mouths, by its leaves and knowledge of them, the true principles of stems, to drink in nourishment from the agricultural economy can never be ap- plied or practiced.” IMPROVEMENT OF FARMS. The Middlesex (Mass.) Ag. Society a- warded the first preminm for the best managed farm to Oliver C. Rogers, of Wo- It appears from the account given by the chairman of the committee, Nahum Hardy, Esq., appointed to examine farms, that when Mr. Rogers*came into-posses- sion of his farm, about seven years ago, it was much out of order—the fields were unproductive, and in many places so wet that they could not be plowed in spring early enough for planting. He dug deep ditches to drain the land, stoned them up, and covered over with flat stones—leaving the covering from sixteen to eighteen in- ches below the surface. He has dug, | stoned, and covered over 360 rods of these | |“ blind ditches. The committce say—*“the | crops speak well for the improvements in these fields.” In most of this swampy land, there is a hard subsoil, in others a deep mud. Mr. Rogers has reclaimed | within seven years, more than forty acres, which was very rough and unproductive, when he took possession of the farm. He has also built more than nine hundred rods of stone wall, sixty rods of which is heavy faced wall, “ beautifully pointed with ce- ment.” He has made various improve- ments in his buildings, and the committee add, “ has constructed a good cellar under his barn for the manufacture of compost manure, being convinced that no good far- mer should be. without one.” Besides these improvements, Mr. Rogers has set out peach and apple orchards, and has carried from his fields and buried in low places and mud holes, about two thousand loads of stone, within the seven years. Compost Making. The same committee which made the above award, made a report in relation to the manofacture of compost manures.— | They mention that one of the competitors, | Mr. Fay of Marlborough, burns hussocks from bog meadows, and mixes the ashes with loam and barn-yard manure. ther man, Mr. Chaffin, of Acton, is in the habit, every morning in Summer, of throw- | ing @ mixture of sand and muck, over the manure dropped by the cattle the preceed- | ing night. Mr. Moore, to whom the committee a- | warded the premiam for the best ‘mode of | manufacturing composts, stated ‘that his | _ attention was first particularly called to | this subject about five years since. About | that time he built a barn, 80 by 40 feet, with a cellar under the whole of it, and began making compost. . He keeps seven | cows, one bull, two yoke of oxen, and two’ horses, which are tied up in the barn eve- ry night to save the manure. . In addition to the above, he winters from tw Pe sid.

These advantages, and other food yielded direct- ly to the plant, are frequently of great im- ‘portance to the crop; and may, in some | instances, be worth ten or twenty times | the cost of time and expense in the pre- _paration, and are at all times worthy the attention of the farmer. But toclaim that they yield all the elements of nutrition to the crop, is a perfect absurdity. They afford the same advantage to the plant ‘that early attention to the young of ani- mals does—by helping it so far forward in strength and maturity, that it isenabled afterwards to gather up its own food, if it | ts to be found within its reach. If soil be deficient for the support of the larger plant, it must as certainly dwindle or die, as will ‘the lamb or calf if, after it is enabled to eat grass, it ‘is not to be had within its ‘reach. We are justified, therefore, in con- cluding, that a good soil is, in every case, requisite for yielding a large crop, how- | ever the seeds may be prepared. We shall be obliged to our correspondents for the results in this treatment of seeds, under any variety of circumstances—of soltttion, kinds of seeds, description of soil, and re- sults,each minutely and accurately stated.

It is of immense size—among the largest species of trees in the world. It measures many fect in diameter, and grows to a great height. The common name is boabah; the botanical name is “ Adamsonia digitata.”—The stem of the fruit, in the green state, is from 5 to 8 feet long, and has a long and strong hemp-like fibre.— ‘The flower is very large, white, and not unlike that of the centennial cactus ; its odor is bad. The fruit is similar to'a gourd in shape and size, and covered with a green felt-like rind. The substance of the rind is as hard, nearly, as the shell of the cocoa nut. But if you witl cut off the stem, and open it at the stem end, you will find it to contain a natural cream of tartar, which, enclosing the seed, and strung on fibres similar to those of the tamarind pod, is used to make a delicious, cooling, acidulous beverage, quite refresbing in a hot climate, and similar in its medicinal effects to that of the substance te fo pay roundly:im blood and money.

The individual now address- ing you had no agency in the preparation | of these sketches, nor any knowledge that | such a publication had been made,.or was | intended, until a day or two before the ap- | pearance of the Intelligencer’s remarks | upon it.’ It may be proper further to add, that, although a subscriber and constant | reader of the Intelligencer, he is not that | subscriber who desired a.republication of | them in its columns. Nor does he take | | any exception to its declaration that they are devoid of intercst.

Joseph Graham,, then of Mecklenburg, but for the Jast forty years preceding his death (in 1838) an in-| habitant of the a coln. The Intelligencer denounces these sto= ries as entirely fabulous, so: far-as they concern Jackson, because contradicted. by djoining counfy of Lin- | history ; and if not impossible, as they re- _late to Graham, altogether incapable. of having their truth ascertained, since -his- tory had not deigned to noticé him at all. ‘Pheeditors then proceed In a veiniof grent | Merriment to consign him to.oblivion,lond- ed with such a weight of ridicule as prac- lised pens are enabled to.educe from. the familiar contraction of his name in which the old matron indulges herself—her de- scription of his dress—and from the appli- cation of epithets of sarcasm. And being classiques, they conelude this strain with a derisive application of the hackneyed verse of Horace: Vixere fortes ante Agamemnona Multi, &e. Possibly it may turn out, that the brave men who lived before Agamemnon had | this advantage over their successors in 1780—that if they have been doomed to sleep unknown. in the long night of ages, for want of the sacer vates;the truthful author to record their deeds, they. have at | least exempted from the persecutions of the buffoons of literature, who, beyond | the narrow circle in which they choose to minister as the dispensers of fame, will not suffer a violet tospring from the grave of a hero, without plucking it up and cast- ing it in mockery away. Al! this is done, as the critique declares, according the most approved “rules of historical criticism,” with “ great zeal for truth,” and after a professed examination In- deed, it was to have been presumed, in /common charity. that such a course of de- rision and insult would hardly have been indulged in by those professing deliberate- ly to give information to the public, with- out having had recourse to the best sour- ces of information, and finding them to justify it. “Its truth (says the editors) there was no ascertaining; but, at least, we thought we might be able to satisfy _ ourselves of the possibility, though not the reality, of the facts; so we Considered, con- sulted, and remembered.” © But they could find no trace of sucha character in history. Now, afer this, those who have read the ‘remarks of the editors will readiy agree, | | that, if any such person as “ Jo Grabam” | did in fact exist, he was never in greater danger of annihilation from the sabres of Tarleton’s dragoons, than is his memory from the sneers of the critics of the ‘Na- tional Intelligencer. . How much: they '* considered and remembered” on. this matter, “there is no ascertaining ;” nor is it very apparent how either process would have helped them to facts which, it is very evident wereneverwithin their knowledge; though, with their pretensions on the sub- ject, they should have been. But they also “ consulted” in search of the truth. Pray, | _with whom? Certainly, with no one hav- ing the slightest acquaintance with the traditions of the revolation in western N.

A flood of light il- | luminated the arching roof with the vast | columns of stalactite sparkling with crys- tals that supported it, and was reflected with imposing effect from the huge sheets | | of the same’ material, of the purest white, that hung from the ceiling in graceful but substantial drapery.

In gravity, Platinum surpassed al! ‘the company ; in natural brightness, Tin ' was outshone by few. When Oxygen arrived, and his light elastic tread was heard, and his clear transparent countenance was seen among them, a murmur of congratulation ran round the drawing-room, and involuatari- ly all assembled arose to do him homage. Ile was a patriarch indeed among them ; literally a father to many of the younger. guests. His arrival was the signal for adjournment to the banquetling reom where of right he took his seat at the he of the table. Touching the apartment we had now entered, I can only say that it was grand beyond description! It was lighted: up with the radiance of noon-day, by an arch of flame intensely dazzling, preduced by « curious apparatus which Galvanism, who excels in these matters, had contriv- ed for the occasion, out of some materials with which his friends Zine and Copper had furnished him. Festoons of ever- greens and wreaths of roses encircled the In dreams nothing ever surprises us. It med perfectly nagural to see these fairy forms in that strange grotto; so, accosting | without hesitation the one nearest to me. | bout to withdraw. From my new ac- quaintance, however, I received so cordi- | al a welcome and so earnest an invitation to become a partaker in their festivities that | could not deny myself the pleasure | of aecepting the hospitality so kindly prof- | fered. | Iwas soon informed that some of the leading characters among the Elements had resolved some weeks before upon hay- ing a general pic-nie dinner party. Fifty- six family invitationshadaccordingly been look like a hall in Fairy Land. But | must describe the table and its paraphernalia. viands—I mean the baking, boiling, roast- ing, stewing, and the like—had been com- mitted to Caloric, who has had long expe- rience in that department. The nobler of the Metals had generously lent their cost- ly services of plate, while Carbon united with Lron to furnish the elegant steel cut- lery used onthe occasion. Alumina pro- vided the fine set of China that graced the table; and Silex and Potash, without solicitation, sent. as their joint contribu- tion, cut-glass pitchers and tumbters, of superior patent andgtransparency. “ As among these sons of Nature there is no carving for artificial excitement, Oxy- gen and Hydrogen, (who, by the way, have done move for the Cold Water Soci- 'eties than Delevan or Father Matbew,) were cominissioned to provide the drink- ‘ables; and what beverage éhey furnished may be easily conjectured. Carbon, with Oxygen and Hydrogen, found most of the vegetables ; and Nitrogen, whose assist- | ment or to the enjoyment of the occasion. | At the hour [ so unexpectedly came up- on them, nearly all the guests with their | | families had assembled in the strange drawing-room | have described, awaiting | the summons to thé, banquet.

And here they were; seen, not. jas in the chemist’s laboratory, writhing in | the heated crucible, or pent up in glassy _ prisons; or peering ott of gas-holders and Florence flasks, but arrayed in theiy, na- | tive beauty; each free as air, and acting |as impulse prompted. There were those | present of every hue, every style of dress, | | every variety of appearance. ‘The’ Met- | als, the Gases, the Salts, the Acids, the | Oxides, the Alkaties all were there.— | From the mine, from the stop of the arti- san, from the mint; froin the depths ot ocean even, they had come; and a gayer assemblage, a more animated scene, my eyes had never beheld. . Many of the ladies of the party were most tastefully attired. Caroline wore a beautiful greenish yellow robe, that dis- played her qucenlike form to good advan- | itage. The fair daughters of Chromium | _ ble, joined them in procuring the meats, ‘under whichthetable groaned. No taste but would be satisfied with the variety ; no appetite but would be cloyed with the profusion of good things. have been named left but little for their associates to contribute, still some individ- ual offerings to the feast deserve to be no- ticed. Thus the oysters, Carbonate of Lime had sent in the shell; the pyramids ot ice-cream for the dessert were provi- ded by the daughter of Chlorine and So- dium, who was out several! hours in the snow engaged in freezing them; and the almonds and peaches came from the cov- servatory of IHydrocyanic Acid, the drug- gist. After grace had been said by Aflinity, who is a sort of chaplain tothe Elements, having officiated at the weddings of all the married ones of the company, a vigor- ous onset was made upon the gocd things , before them. At first, all were too much of steel-gray that enveloped her person; engaged for conversation ; but the dessert but the warmth of the apartment soon | | | appearing at last, as they cracked the nuts compelled her to throw this aside; when | the jest too was cracked ; toast and song she appeared arrayed in a vesture of thin! were called for, and wit and innocent hi- gauze, of the most splendid violet color| larity became. the order of the day.

During our) morning’s ascent, we had met no sign of | animal life, except the small sparrow-like | bird already mentioned. A stillness the | most profound and a terrible solitude fore- | ed themselves constantly on the mind as the great featuress of the place. Here, on ' the summit, where the stillness was abso- lute, unbroken by any sound, and the soli- tude complete, we thought ourselves be- | yond the region of animated life; but | while we were sitting on the rock, a soli- | tary bee (bromus, the humble bee) came | winging its flight from the eastern valley, | and lit on the knee of one of the men. It! was a strange place, the icy rock and the | highest peak of the Rocky Mountains, for | alover of warm sunshine and flowers; and we pleased ourselves with the idea that he was the first of his species to cross the mountain barrier—a solitary pioneer to foretell the advance of civilization. 1 be- lieve that a moment’s thought would have made us let him continue his way unharm- ed; but we carried out the law of this country, where all animaied nature seems at war; and, seizing him immediately, put | him in at least a fit place—in the leaves | | of a large book, among the flowers we had egavine at therisland Camp, and we ir- collected on our way. ‘The barometer stood at 46 ride upthe defile as far as pos- | 18,293, the attached thermometer at 44 deg. ; | in‘order to hasband our strength for | giving for the elevation of this summit 13,570 | themain ascent. .

It is neédiess to attempt any further description of | the country ; thé portion over which we travel- | led this morning was rough as imagination could picture it,"and to us seemed equally beautiful. | A concourse of lakes and rushing waters, moun. | tains of rocks naked and destitute of vegetable earth, dells and ravines of the most exquisite beatty, all kept green and fresh by the great moisture in the air, and sown with brilliant flowers, and every where thrown around all the glory of most magnificent scenes : these con- | stitute the features of the place, and impress themselves vividly on the mind of the traveller. | It was not until 11 o’clock that we reached the place where our animals had been left when we first attempted the mountains on foot. Near | one of the still burning fires we found a piece of meat, which our friends had thrown away, and which furnished us a mouthful—a very | scanty breakfast. We continued directly on, and reached our camp on the mountain luke at dusk. We found all well. Nothing had oc- curred to interrupt the quiet since our departure, and the fine grass and good cool water had done much to re-establish our animals. All beard with great delight the order to turn our faces homeward: and toward sundown of the 17th, we encamped again at the ‘Two Buttes. | After suffering many privations and en- countering great danyer in an attempt to survey the River Platte, the party reached | aramie Fort on their return on the last | day of August, and arrived at St. Louis on | the 17th September. We can find space | for only two or three very brief extracts! from this homeward tour. After describ- | ing the passage of their India-rubber boat | over three calaracts, “ where perhaps one | hundred feet ot smooth water intervened,” | the narrative proceeds : “ Finally, with a shout of pleasure at our suc- | cess, we issued from our tunnel in the open day | beyond. - We were delighted with the perform. ance of our boat, and so confident in her pow- | ers, that we would not have hesitated to leap a | fall of ten feet with her. We put to shore for | breakfast at some willows on the right bank, | immediately below the mouth of the canon ;— for it was now 8 o’clock, and we had been working since daylight, and were all wet, fa- tigued, and hungry, While the men were pre- paring breakfast, [ went out to reconnoitre.— The view was very limited. ‘The course of the river was smooth, so far as I could see ; on both sides were broken hills, and but a mite or two below was another high ridge. The rock at the mouth of the canon was still the decompos- ing granite, with great quantities of mica, which made a very glittering sand. “ We re-embarked at nine o’clock, and in a- bout twenty minules reached the next canon,— Landing ona rocky shore at its commencement, we ascended the ridge to reconnoitre. Portage was out of the question. So far as we could | see, the jagged rocks pointed out the course of the canon, on a winding line of seven or eight miles. It was simply a narrow dark chasm in the rock; and here the perpendicular faces were much higher than in the previous pass, be- ing at this end two or three hundred, and fur- ls ascertained, five hundred feet in vertical height. Our previous success had made us bold, and we determined again to run the canon. Every thing was se- cured as firmly as possible ; and, having divest- ed ourselves of the greater part of our clothing, we pushed into the stream. ‘To save our chro- nometer from accident, Mr. Preuss took it, and attempted to proceed along the shore on the masses of rock, which in places were piled up on either side; but, affer he had walked about five minutes, every thing like shore disappeared, and the vertical wall came squarely down into the water. He therefore waited until we came up. An ugly pass lay before us. We had made fast to the stern of the boat a strong rope about fifty feet along; and three of the men clambered along among the rocks, and with this rope let her down slowly through the pass. In several places bigh rocks lay scattered about in the narrows it required all our strength and skill to avoid staving the boat on the sharp points. In one of these the boat proved a little too broad, and stuck fast for an instant, while the water flew over us; fortunately, it was but fur an in- s'ant, as our uniled strength forced her immedi- ately through. The water swept overboard on- ly a sextant and a pair of saddlebags. I caught the sextant as it passed by me, but the saddle. | bags became the prey of the whirlpools. We reached the place where Mr, Preuss was stand. ing, took him on board, and, with the aid of the boat, put the men with the rope on the succeed. ing pile of rocks. We found this passage much worse than the previous one, and our position was rather a bad one. To go back was im- | sible; before us, the cataract was a sheet of ‘foam ; and shut up in the chasm by the rocks, | which in some places seemed almost to meet overhead, the roar of the water was deafening. | We pushed off again ; but, after making a little distance, the force of the current became too great for the men on shore, and two of them let | go the rope. Lajeunesse, the third man, bung | on, and was jerked headforemost into the river | from a rock about twelve feet high; and down the boat shot like an arrow, Basil following us and exerting all his strength |—his head only seen oc- to keep in casiona!|ly hi with their refreshing juices and soft fragrant , air ; but we Smad ou little cache of dried meat | que j'ai nage un demi mile.’ He had owed his Mr.Preuss wa pt in advance. gidraté “ f : gas and coffee undisturbed. . ‘Though the moon was | jife to his.skill.as a swimmer; and I dotermin- dde eal cigh Register. | bright; thé*road ‘was full of preeipices;-ard'the | ed to take hins and the (woothers on board, and Ris S. | fatigne of the’ day had been great, - We there- reach the other end gears sok £ fore abando dl the idea of rejoining our x ourselves on our knees, re ee ER ne : Me 5 dp ms: 5 ’ in : ‘ v | We became flushed with success, and familiar brought me into an eddy, and I Janded on a pile | grasped by the hair, and who could not swi.n; face, and the sextant, circle, and ths long black | liant bloom.

A loud hollow noise was heard from the rock, which I supposed to be produced by the fall of water. The strata immediately where they is- sue is a fine white and calcareous sandstone, covered with an incrustation of common salt. “ Leaving this ‘Phermopyle of the West, in a short walk we reached the ‘red ridge which has been described as lying just above Goat Island. Ascending this, we found some fresh tracks and a button, which showed that the oth. er men had already arrived. A shout from the man who first reached the top of the ridge, re- sponded to from below, informed us that our friends were all on the island; and we were soon among them. We found scme pieces ot buffalo standivg around the fire for us, and man- aged to get some dry clothes among the people. A sudden storm of rain drove us into the best shelter we could find, where we slept soundly, after one of the most f.tiguing days I have ev. with the danger; and, yielding to the excite- ment of the oceasion, broke forth into a Cana. dian boat song. Singing, or rather shouting, we dashed along; and were, 1 believe, in the midst of the chorus when the boat struck a con- cealed rock immediately at the foot of a fall, which whirled her over in an instant. ‘Three of my men could not swim, and my first feeling was to assist them, and save some of our effects ; but a sharp concussion or two convinced me that I had not yet saved myself.

Looking around, I saw Mr. Preuss had gained the shore on the same side, about twenty yards below, and a lit- tle climbing and swimming soon brought bim to my side. On the opposite side, against the wall, lay the boat bottom up, and Lambert was in the act of saving Descoteaux, whom he had ‘ Lache pas,’ said be, as I afterwards learned, ‘lache pas chere frere.’ ‘ Cains pas,’ was the reply, ‘Je m’en vais mourir avant que de {e la- cher.’ Such was the reply of courage and gen- erosity in this danger.

Gaines upon the Governor of Louisiana. for troops, was unauthorized by the Secretary of War, as it is plainly in violation of the Con- | stitution ; and wholly uncalled for by the. eir- cumstances of the case. This requisition is | said to have been based upon intelligence re- | ceived by the General, that alarge body of Mexi- | can troops were within cight days’ march of the United States forces in Texas under the com- mand of Brigadier Gen. Taylor. Butitis now | believed that if Gen. Gaines did receive such | information, it was a hoax played off upon him by some one knowing he was easily alarm- ‘ed, and that his mind was not in the best cons | | 'dition. In fact, all intelligence received since from the supposed seat of war, (for we do not | believe there will be war unless Mexico has strong assurance of aid from some other nation more powerful than herself,) go to prove that | there was no foundation for the aforesaid rumor. | And if there was, how happens it that General | Taylor knew nothing of the approach of this formidable body of troops, when they were so close to him ? But admitting that Gen. Gaines actually re- ceived such information from the most reliable authority, what right had he with or without in- structions from the Secretary of ‘War, to call up- on the Governor of= Louisiana, “ without the previous legislation of Congress ” for four regi- ments of militia? The Constitution, (as the National Intelligencer aptly remarks,) gives no power to any body but Congress * to provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions.” ‘That power (says the same pa- per) has not, that we can find, been delegated to General Gaines. ‘ Yet it seems clear, that,.in this era of strict construction and democratic ascendancy, civil and military, a large body .of Louisiana militia are by this time in the field, upon the call of General Gaines; although the President himself could not legally issue or Congress enact such an order, unless in a case | which has certainly not as yet occurred. It seems fated in this ‘exas business, that the | Anti-Latitudinarians shall not move a_ peg | except to crack some string of the constitution or laws.” We would respectfully call the attention of | the Administration to the enormous and extrav- agant amount of money, to say nothing of the great loss of life, which the conquering of a | handful of Indians in Florida, cost the country. | , Let them remember that it was this carless and | useless expenditure of the public funds which hurled Van Buren and his crew from office.— | Let them bear in mind that this war upon the people’s Treasury, is almost as bad as a war | with Mexico, and inthe end will be viewed by | them as a cunningly devised plan to drain them | of their substance, under the pretence of prepar- ing to drive the Mexicans from Texas. How | much the People of the United States are to pay for Texas, if this state of things is contin. ued for any length of time, it will be difficult to tell.

Capt. Fremont departed on his second expedition from the little town of Kansas, on the Missouri frontier, on the 29th of | May, 1843. His party consisted princi- | pally of Creole and Canadian French, and | those who had accompanied him on his | former tour. Mr. Thomas Fitzpatrick was selected as the guide, and Mr. Charles Preuss was associated with the expedition in the same capacity as before. ‘The par- ty were armed generally with Hall’s car- | bines, and were furnished with a brass _ twelve pound howitzer. The camp equip- |age and provisions were transported in | |twelve carts, each drawn by two nules, 'and a light covered wagon, mounted on | springs, conveyed the instruments. “ To make the exploration as useful as pos- sible, I determined,” says Capt. Fremont, “in conformity with my general instructions, to va- _ty the route to the Rocky Mountains from that followed in the year 1842, The route then was | up the valley of the Kansas river, and to the | head of the Arkansas, and to some pass in the mountains, if any could be found, at the sources of that river. “ By making this deviation from the former | route, the problem of a new road to Oregon and California, in a climate more genial, might be | solved, and a better knowledge obtained of an “ Leaving the camp to ‘follow ‘slowly, Lrode gathered all the afternoon over the mountains, I continued, however, to ride along tp the river until about sunset, and was beginning to be water from: several springs was” bubbling and boiling up in-the midst-of a white incrustation As this did not correspond with a description | given me by the hunters, I did not stop to taste | the water ; but, dismounting, walked a little | way up the river, and, passing through a nar- the river, bounded off up the mountain. been formed by deposition, was a beautiful row thicket of shrubbery bordering the stream, stepped diréctly upon a huge white rock, at the foot of which the river, already become a tor- rent, foamed along, broken by a small fall A deer which had been drinking at the spring was startled by my approach, and, springing across In the upper part of the rock, which had apparently white basin, overhurg by currant bushes, in which the cold clear water bubbled up, kept in | constant motion by the escaping gas, and over. | ; flowing the rock, which it had almost entirely haps she thinks she can yet persuade you Americans—amounting in all to thirty- | covered with a smooth crust of glistening white. /nine men; among whom were several of | I had all day refrained from drinking, reserving | myself for the spring ; and as I could not well drank heartily of the delightful water. a few miles below. | pleasant day. ly of the same nature. springs in the grand duchy of Nassau.” be more wet than the rain had already made me, I lay down hy the side of the basin, and The annexed sketch is only a rude one, but it will enable you to form some idea of the character of the scenery and the beauty of this spot, im- mediately at the foot of lofty mountains, beauti- fully timbered, which sweep closely round, shutting up the little valley in a kind of cove. As it was beginning to grow dark, I rode quick- ly down the river, on which I found the camp “The morning of the 18th was beautiful and clear, and, all the people being anxious to drink of these famous waters, we encamped immedi- | ately at the springs, and spent there a very On the opposite side of the river is another Jocality of springs, which are entire- The water has a very agreeable taste, which Mr. Preuss found very much to resemble that of the famous Selter July 30.—The narrative states: “* We con. tinued our march up the stream, along a green | sloping bottom, between pine hills on the one | hand, and the main Black hills on the other, | towards the ridge which separates the waters | of the Platte from those of the Arkansas. As important river and the country it drained, while | we approached the dividing ridge, the whole the great object of the expedition would find its | point of commencement at the termination of | the former, which was at that great gate in the ridge of the Rocky Mountains called the South | Pass, and on the lofty peak of the mountain which overlooks it, deemed the highest peak in | the ridge, and from the opposite sides of which four great rivers take their rise, and flow to the | Pacific or the Mississippi.” The route appears to have been for, many days through a pleasant and level prairie country, intersected with numer- | ous streams, in general well timbered on their margin with ash, elm, cotton-wood, | and very large oak. This agreeable state | of things did not, however, long continue; | for, the narrative says: “Shortly after leaving our encampment on | the 26ih June, we found suddenly that the na- | ture of the country bad entirely changed. Bare sand hills every where surrounded us in the undulating ground along which we were mov- ing, and the plants peculiar to a sandy soil made | their appearauce in abundance.” | The 4th of July was spent at St. Vrain’s | | fort, in latitade 40 deg. 16 min. 52 seconds | | north, and longitude west 105 deg. 12 min. | 23 sec. The party were in the neighborhood of | Pike’s peak on the 11th of July. Weare , told respecting the country through which | ‘they were now travelling, that— | “ With occasional exceptions, comparatively , | so very small as not to require mention, these | prairies are every where covered with a close | | and vigorous growth of a great variety of grass- , es, among which the most abundant is the buf- | falo grass, (sisleria dactyloides.) Between the | Platte and Arkansas rivers, that part of this | region which forms the. basin drained by the | waters of the Kansas, with which our opera- tions made us more particularly acguainted, is based upon a formation of calcareous rocks.— | ' The soil of all this country is excellent, admi- rably adapted to agricultural purposes, and would support a large agricultural and pastoral population, A glance at the map accompany- ing this report, along our. several lines of tra- vel, will show you that this plain is watered by | many streams.” ‘Throughout the western half of the piain these are shallow, with sandy beds, | becoming deeper as they’reach the richer lands approaching the’ Missouri river ; they general- ly have bottom laddspbordered by bluffs vary- ing from fifty to five hundred feet io height.—- In all this region the timber is entirely confined to the streams. do the eastern half, where the soil is a deep, rich, vegetable. mould, retentive. of rain and moisture,,it is of vigorous growth Land of many | kinds ; and.shrough the western it consists ent ; of « ‘gol ¥ = ptt’ a, ‘ » OF Bis ls where oa ethag | dividing grounds. valley was radiant with flowers ; blue, yellow, pink, white, scarlet, and purple, vied with each other in splendor.

F.) I became first acquainted with the yampah, (anethum graveo- lens,) which I found our Snake woman engag- ed in digging in the low timbered bottom of the creek. Amung the Indians along the Rocky Mountains, and more particularly among the Shoshonee, or Snake Indians, in whose territo- ry it is very abundant, this is considered the best among the roots used for food. To us, it was an interesting plant—a little link between the savage and civilized lif. Here, among the Indians, its root is acommon article of food, which they take pleasure in offering to stran- gers; while with us, in a considerable portion of America and Europe, the seeds are used to avor soup. It grows more abundantly, and in greater luxuriance, on one of the neighboring tributaries of the Colorado than in any other part of this region ; and on that stream, to which Crossing to the waters of the Snakes are accustomed to resort every year | to procure a supply of their favorite plant, they have bestowed the name of Yampah river.— Among the trappers it is generally known as Little Snake river.” “In the afiernoon we took our way directly across the spurs from the pvint of the mountain, where we had several ridges to cross; and al- though the road was not rendered bad by the nature of the ground, it was made extremely rough by the stiff tough bushes of arlemesia trt- dendata, in this country commonly called sage. “This shrub now began to make ifs appear- ance in compact fields; and we were about to-} quit for a long time this country of excellent pasturage and brilliant flowers.

After mentioning the treaty which had been formed with France, and alluding to the existence of the very friendly relations between Great Bri- tain and that country, he proceeded to speak of the United States thus: Sir, there is a question, however, to which, though I do not mean to enter on it in detail, I cannot help adverting for a moment or two; I mean the question pending between this coun. try and the United States of America. [ wish, without at all desiring to interfere with the discretion of the cxecutive govern. ment, or at all dictating to them as to the course they may think fit to pursue for the settlement of the question of the Oregon boundary—I wish still to venture to say that those opinions I gave this house at another period of the session, of the justice of our claims, are entirely unshaken by any thing Ihave heard or read since on this subject. {Loud cries of hear, hear, from both sides. ] site, on that occasion, said the government of | this country were prepared to maintain those rights.

[Cheers.] I trust that, with fairness and moderation in the discussion of these ques- tions between the two governments, without any loss of bonor or sacrifice of substantial inte- 1 rests, that the negotiations will be brought to | a friendly and amicable conclusion. With these | few words (and I am glad they should be so few) I leave the subject of foreign policy. come to what has been done in the course of the session with respect to our domestic con- cerns. Sir James Graham, Secretary of State for the Home Department, replied ‘at length. In reference to what had been said on the subject of the foreign relations of the country he re- inarked as follows : The noble Lord had adverted in the first place to questions of foreign policy, and in the next to domestic policy. With respect to the first of these he was happy in being able to concur with every thing that had fallen from the noble Lord. The noble Lord had congratulated the house, that whereas at the last session there Were some fears of a partial misunderstanding with France, those fears were now, happily for the peace of Europe and of the world, happily for the interests of this country and of France, completely dispelled, and a good understanding | He) | agreed also with the noble Lord in the regret he had expressed for the loss sustained by the | departure of the able and accomplished minis- | existed between these two great nations. ter fer the United States, Mr. Everett. [Much cheering.] He was happy, however, in stating that the United States would be represented by a gentleman so wel! known and highly as the minister who had just arrived.

But we _ must not forget that the States are peopling Up- per California as they did Texas, and that a | regular plan of emigration is goiug on through | the recently discovered passages in the Rocky Mountains. Numerous settlers are already _ hanging on the skirts of the Bay of San Fran. cisco, one of the finest harbors in the world, whence a large steamer can go to Canton in | from 30 to 40 days, and even the fort of the | Bodega lately abandoned by Russia, a short distance from that bay, has not eseaped them. |The Mexican government is well aware of | these designs, and i is holding out encourage- _ment lo emigrants in this quarter to settle in | Upper California, but there is no surplus pop- | ulation here, and the United States must be checked by immigration into California from _ some other quarter, I understand that an [rish Roman Catholic clergyman who is residing in | Mexico at present, has submitted a pian to this | Government for establishing an Irish colony on | the farthest coast of the Bay of San Francisco. | |The Mexican Government favors the project.

In a subsequent portion of this able and in- teresting letter, the writer alludes to further in- _telligence from Texas, which renders annexa- _ tion almost certain to take place, ‘though Presi- dent Jones was doing all in his power to pre. ventit.” He says ‘the fact is we have been out- { manceuvred by the States’ agents ;’ and he | adds the following speculations concerning the issue : I cannot help attaching great importance to the Texas question, and I fear that annexation will be the signal for the gradual dissolution of the Mexican‘republic. 1 find a strong ecoinci- dence between the actual state of the Ottoman empire and the Mexican republic, and the ag- gressive spirit of Russia in the old world and the United States in this, with this difference only—that, in the one case, the great European | Powers have interfered to prolong the existence of Turkey, while, in the other, not a hand is | held out to save Mexico from ruin.

The two men, Underwood and Duncan, who have been sometime in imprisonment on the charge of killing Wm. W. Peyton, of Wilkes County, were tried last week at Statesville, to which place their trial _ had been removed, and were found guilty. Judge Pearson sentenced them to be | hanged on the 10th of October next.— This sentence will not, however, be exe- | cuted, as the prisoners have taken an ap- | peal, from some point of law, upon which 'the Jury were charged, to the Supreme Court. The prisoners have been brought to the jailof Rowan for safc-keeping. un- til some final disposition be made of their | case, RACINE. | This is the name of a young town, sit- uated on the Western margin of Lake Mi- _chigan, in the Territory of Wisconsin, a- way up yonder where the bleak: North- | western breezes come from.

The Burlington Free Press of the 11th, has the following upon. the result of the late election in that State: “We are buppy in again congratulating our readers upoa another Whig triumph in Ver. mont. Our returns are as yet incomplete, but ' sufficient to assure us of the clection of a Whig majority in both branches cf the Legislatare.— The aggregate vote of the State is materially less thun that of last year, and this falling off, we observe, is more generally on the part of the Whigs than either of the other parties. The abolition vote is, doubtless, slightly increased, We shall not, therefore, be disappointed should Mr. Suape lack a few votes of an election by the people. His majority last year was but bout sixteen hundred.” The election of Governor, it is likely, will again devolve upon the Legislature, the common result of third-partyism ia Vermont. The Whigs will have a large majority in the House of Representatives, ; and a majority in the Senate. . MR.

Departed this life, on the 29th ult,. at the house of Johan B. Moss, Mr. ArcatBatp Neexy, a graduate of Davidson College, in the 25th year of his age. Mr. | Neely was born and raised in Rocky River congrega- | tion, and from his earliest years was remarkable for a benign and pleasant disposition. He received his aca- demic course of studies at Rotky River Academy un- der the instruction of Mr. Robert J. McDowell, and early developed a rare talent for close application and deep study. In all his studies he stood at the head of his class, both in his Academic and Collegiate course. | At an early period of life he made a profession of reli- gion and joined the church at Rocky River under the pastoral care of the Rev. D. Lindly. At an early pe- piod of his life, the writer of this had a good opportunity of witnessing with what industry he applied himself in searching the scriptures. There were few students in the writer's Sabbath School class that understood the | scriptures better (of which class there are some four or | five now Ministers of the Gospel.) Mr, Neely had in- tended on leaving College to enter on his studies for the Ministry, but on his return to his father’s, he found his | father’s mind so impaired as to make him incapable of | | | | | his only brother who could have attended to his father’s affairs. Having settled his father’s business and placed it in such a way that he was released in a measure from that business, he had taken a school in the vicinity of Poplar Tent church, with a fair prospect of raising funds | to enable him to pursue his studies in Divinity in some | Theological Seminary; but, alas, death had marked attack, he was in his cold and icy arms—his disease was typhus fever. Mr. Neely was a young man of genuine piety, was plain and unassuming in his demeanor, and in his last sickness his prayers were continually ascend- ing tohis Saviour. He was truly lovely in his life—there were few who knew him but loved him ; bat he has gone to his reward in Heaven. “ Thou art gone to the grave, but we will not deplore thee, Siuce God was thy refuge, thy ransom, thy guide : He gave thee, he took thee, and he will restore thee, And death has no Sting, since the Saviour has died.” August 30, 1845.

General Taylor has communicated to General Gaines his wish not to have an more militia force sent from New Orleans to him, not apprehending that there will be any occasion for their services.

He Never Speaks Kind to Me.—Conver- sing the other day with an interesting lit- tle girl between the age of six and seven, I took occasion to impress upon her mind the debt of gratitude that was due from her to her own parent whom every body loves. I was perfectly thunderstruck with ‘her answer. Looking me full in the face with her soft blue eyes, she replied, “ He never speaks kind to me.” Perhaps the Christian father, harrassed with the cares of life, was unconscious that he had rough- ly checked the fond attention of his child; Ostrich Hunting in Africa.—The male ‘ostrich generally associates with from three to seven females, which all lay in the same nest. He sits as well as the fe- males, and generally at night, that he may defend the eggs from the attacks of the hyenas or other animals. * You do not mean to say that he can fight these animals ?” * And kill them also. The ostrich has two powerful weapons; its wing, with which it has been often kuown to break a hunter’s leg, the blow from it is so vio- lent; and what is more fatal, its foot with the toe of which it strikes and kills both animalsand men. I once myself,in Nam- aqua Land, saw a Bushman who had been struck on the chest by the foot of the ost- rich, and it had torn open his chest and stomach, so that his entrails were lying on the ground.

August 18,—We find the following first mention of the most degraded tribe of In- dians yet discovered on our continent— the root-diggers : “ We had now entered a country inhabited by these people ; and as in the course of our | voyage we shall frequently meet with them in | various stages of existence, it will be well to inform you that scattered over the great region west of the Rocky Mountains and south of the Great Snake river, are numerous Indians whose subsistence is almost solely derived from roots bas given to the rising generation its in-| and seeds, and such small animals as chance | and great good fortune sometimes bring within their reach. ‘They are miserably poor, armed | only with bows and arrows, or clubs; and as the country they inhabit is almost destitute of game, they have no means of obtaining better )arms. In the northern part of the region just mentioned, they iive generally in solitary fami- lies ; and farther to the suuth, they are gather- ed in villages. ‘Ihose who live together in vil- lages, strengthened by association, are in ex- clusive possession of the more genial and rich- er parts of the country; while the others are driven to the ruder mountains, and to the more hospitable parts of the country. But by simply you will become better acquainted with these people than we could make you in any other than a very long description, and you will find | them worthy of your interest. “ Roots, seeds, and grass, every vegetable that affords any nourishment, and every living animal thing, insect or worm, they eat. Near- ly approaching to the lower animal creation, their sole employment is to obtain food; and | they are constantly occupied in a struggle to "support existence.” | { ' go} —] The rapid and wasteful destruction of _ has been often alluded to and lamented by | Fremont’s very sensible observations upon ‘it. On August 30, in latitude 42 deg. 14 | “ A number of Indians came to visit us, and several men were sent to the village with goods, | tobacco, knives, cloth, vermilion, and the usual trinkets, to exchange for provisions. But they ' had no game of any kind; and it was difficult to obtain any roots from them, as they were miserably poor, and had but Iitle to spare from their winter stock of provisions. the Indians drew aside their blankets, showing | me their lean and bony figures; and I would not any longer tempt them with a display of our merchandise to part with their wretched subsis- tence, when they gave as a reason that it would expose them to temporary starvation. <A great | portion of the region inhabited by this nation formerly abounded in game ; the buffalo rang- ' ing about in herds, as we had found them onthe eastern waters, and the plains dotted with scat- tered bands of antelope ; but so rapidly have they disappeared within a few years, that now, as we journeyed along, an occasional buffalo skull and a few wild antelope were all that re- mained of the abundance which had covered the country with animal life. “The extraordinary rapidity with which the buffalo is disappearing from our territories will not appear surprising when we remember the great scale on which their destruction is yearly carried on. With inconsiderable exceptions, the business of the American trading posts is carried on in their skins; every yearthe Indian villages make new lodges, fot which the skin of the buftalo furnishes the material; and in that portion of the country where they are still found, the Indians derive their entire support from them, and slaughter them with a thoughtless and abominable extravagance. Like the Indi- ans themselves, they have been a characteristic of the Great West; and as, like them, they are visibly diminishing, it will be interesting to throw a glance backward through the last twen- ty years, and give some account of their former ' | of their western range. “The information is derived principally from Mr. Fitzpatrick, supported by my own personal knowledge and acquaintance with the country. Our knowledge does not go farther back than the spring of 18 were spread in immense numbers over Green river and Bear river valleys, and through all the country lying between the Colorado, or Green river of the Gulf of California, and Lew- is’s fork of the Columbia river; the meridian of Fort Hall then forming the western limit of their range. The buffalo then remained for many years in that country, and frequ ed down ‘the valley of the Columbia, on both sides of the river,as far as the Fishing Falls. Below this point they never descended in any numbers. About the year 1834 or 1830 they began to diminish very rapidly, and continued to decrease until 1838 or 1840, when, with the country we have just described, they entirely | abandoned all the waters of the Pacific north of Lewis’s fork of the Columbia. At that time, the Flathead Indians were in the babit of find- ing their buffalo on the heads of Salmon river, and other streams of the Columbia; but now they never meet with them farther west than the three forks of the Missouri or the plains of the Yellowstone river. “Jn the course of our journey it wil] be re- | bandoned the waters of the Pacific, in | the | Rocky-mountain region south of the Sweet Wa- | ter, as in the country north of the Great Pass. | | This partial distribution can only be accounted | tor inthe pastoral beauty.of that country | which bears’marks of having been one of their | favorite haunts, atid’ by the fact that the white hunters-have moré frequented the the s¢ ’ ion—it being nor > abby the buffalo in these western wildernesses | min. 22 sec. and longitude (about) 112—' Several of 24, at which time the buffalo , | the there are only two modes presented to them by ly covered with flocks of screaming plover. We {we visited.” orthern than | ¢ or Sautho | del Norte, over’ tne Yampah, Kodyah;’ White | and Grand rivers—all of which are the waters | of the Colorado—the buffalo never extended so of the Columbia ; and only in. one or two in- | stances have they been known to descend as far | west as the mouth of the White river. In tra- velling through the country west of the Rocky Mountains, observation readily led me to the impression that the buffalo had, for the firsttime, the lake, and entirely hid the islands from our crossed that range to the waters of the Pacific | only a few years prior to the period we are con- _ sidering ; and in this opinion I am sustained by Mr. Fitzpatrick, and the older trappers in that country. In the region west of the Rocky : A | Mountains, we never meet with any of the an- cient vestiges which, throughout all the country lying upon their eastern. waters, are found in | the great highicays, continuous for hundreds of niles, always several inches and sometimes sev- eral feet in depth, which the buffalo have made in crossing from one river to another, or in tra- versing the mountain ranges. ‘The Snake In- dians, more particularly those Jow down upon Lewis’s fork, have always been very grateful to the American trappers, fur the great kindness (as they frequently expressed it) which they did _ to them, in driving the buffalo so low down the Colunbia river. “The extraordinary abundance ot the bufla- lo on the east side of the Rocky Mountains, and their extraordinary diminution, will be made clearly evident from the following statemeat.— At any time between the years 1824 and 1836, a traveller might start from any given point south or north in the Rocky mountain range, | journeying by the most direct route tothe Mis- souri river; and, duringthe whole distance, his | road would be always among large bands of buffalo, which would never be out of hie view ‘until he arrived almost within sight of the a- bodes of civilization. “At this tiine, the buffalo occnpy but a very limited space, principally along the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, somestimes ex- Some months since a Paixhan shell ex- travellers, yet the subject is of so much tending at their southern extremity to a consid- 'ploded accidentally in one of the streets | importance that we cannot omit Captain erable distance into the plains between the | and we believed that we should find clear tern base of the Rocky Mountains, sometimes | Platte and Arkansas rivers, and along the eas- extending at their southern extremity to a con- siderable distance into the plains between the Platte and Arkansas rivers, and along the eas- | selves for past privations.

During only four months of the year (from November until March) the skins are good for dressing ; those obtained in the remain- ing eight months being valueless to traders, and the hides | of Bulls are never taken off or Cressed as robes at any season. Probably not more than one-third of the skins are taken from the animals killed,even when they are in good season, the labor of preparing and dressing the robes being very great,and it is seldom that a lodge trades more than twenty skins ina year. Itisduring the summer months, and in the early part of autumn, that the greatest number of buffalo are killed, and yet at this time a skin is never taken for the purpose of trade.’ ‘From these data, which are certainly limi- ted, and decidedly within bounds, the reader is | lett to draw his own inference of the immense | oy, people had made dreams, and theirs happen- | number annually killed, “Tn 1842 I found the Sioux Indians of the Upper Platte demontes, as their French traders inthe following year large villages from the Upper Missouri came over to the mountains at the heads of the Platte in search of them. The rapidly progressive failure of their principal and almost their only means of subsistence has cre- ated great alarm among them, and at this time which they see a good prospect for escaping starvation ; one of these is to rob the settle. ments along the frontier of the States; and the other is to form a league between the various tribes of the Sioux nation, the Cheyennes, and ' Arapaboes, and make war against the Crow na- ently mov. | tion, in order to take from them their country, , able taste, probably derived from the bed of fetid which is now the best buffalo country in the West. This plan they have now in considera- ; tion, and it would probably be a war of exter- | ' mination, as the Crows have long been advised | of this state of affairs, and say that they are ' | perfectly prepared. These are the best war- able division, separating the fresh water of the riors in the Rocky Mountains, and are now al. | lied with the Snake Indians ; and it is probable | ' that their combination would extend itself to the | Pushing our little vessel across the narrow Utahs, who have long been cngaged in war a. | gainst the Sioux.

During the day the _clouds had been gathering black over the moun- | tains to the westward, and, while we were look- | ing, a storm burst down with sudden fury upon view. So far as we could see, along the shores , there was not a solitary tree, and but Jie ape pearance of grass ; and on Weber’s fork, a few miles below our last encampment, the timber | was gathered into groves, and then disappeared ed entirely.” The voyage on the lake and the preli- minary anticipations are thus graphically described : ew “With Mr. Preuss and myself, Carson, Ber- nier, and Basil Lajeunesse, had been selected for the boat expedition—the first ever attempt- ed on this interior sea ; and Badeau, with Der- osier, and Jacob (the colored man) were to be left in charge of the camp. We were favored with most delightful weather. ‘To-night there was a brilliant sunset of golden orange and green, whith left the western sky clear and beautifully pure ; but clouds in the east made me lose an occultation. The summer frogs were singing around us, and the evening was very pleasant, with a temperature of 60 deg.— | _a night of a more southern autumn. For our | supper we had yampah, the most agreeably fla. ! vored of the roots, seasoned by a small fat duck, | which had come in the way of Jacob’s rifle— ' Around our fire to-night were many specula- _ tions on what to-morrow would bring forth, and |in our busy conjectures we fancied that we | should find every one of the large islands a tan- | gled wilderness of trees and shrubbery, teem- , ing with game of every description that the | neighboring region afforded, and which the | foot of a white man or Indian had never viola- | ted. Frequently during the day clouds had rested on the summits of their lufty mountains, streams and springs of fresh water; and we | indulged in anticipations of the luxurious re- | pasts with which we were to indemnify our- ' cussions, were the whirlpool and other myste- rious dangers forgotten, which Indian and hun- ‘ter’s stories attributed to this unexplored lake. The men had discovered that, instead of being | complished, was a certain impression of dan- ger, sufficient to give a serious character to our | ‘conversation. The momentary view which had the dark waters in the obscurity of the sudden generally associated. “ September 8.—A calm, clear day, with a sunrise temperature of 41°. In view of our pre- sent enterprise, a part of the equipment of the boat had been made to consist in three air-tight | bags, alout three feet long, and capable cach of containing five gallons. These had been filled with water the night before, and were now | placed in the boat, with our blankets and instru- | ments, consisting of a sextant, telescope, spy- glass, thermometer, and barometer.” “On September 9 the day was clear and calm; | ‘the thermometer at sunrise at 49°.

The chan- nel ina short distance became so shallow that our ' navigation was at an end, being merely a sheet of soft mud, with a few inches of water, and ; sometimes none at all, forming the low-water shore of the lake. All this place was absolute- toox off our clothes, and getting overboard, com- menced dragging the boat—making by this ope- ration a very curious trail, and a very disagree- ble smell in stirring up the mud, as we sank a. | bove the knee at every step. ‘The water here was still fresh, with only an insipid and disagree- mud. After proceeding in this way about a mile we came to a small black ridge on the bot- tom, beyond which the water became suddenly salt, beginning gradually to deepen, and the bottom was sandy and firm.

We learn by the latest returns from the election in this State, that Locofocoism is | reeling and tottering like a man under the | influence of strongdrink. It has received | a blow, from the effects of which, it will require time to recover. It is pretty cer- tuin that Anderson, Loco, will fall shert of -| a majority of all the votes cast for Gov- | /ernor.

When these dele- gates had gone beyond the reach of being. | recalled (says the same paper) the Texas | and Tariff resolutions were sneakingly in- troduced by a committee, and more sneak- _ ingly adopted by the few remaining mem- | bers of the Convention as the act of the whole body. | Central America.—Advices to the 11th |of August last have been received at New Orleans from Guatemala. An effort is _making to re-establish the bonds of fede- | ration between the States of San Salva- dor, Guatemala and Honduras. For this | purpose, the two former States have ap- pointed Commissioners to meet at Zonzo- | nate, to deliberate upon conditions. Gua- 'temala had also named a Commissioner ‘to ratify atreaty of peace with Honduras, ‘and another of commerce with San Sal- | | vador. | DMr. Walker, Secretary of the Trea- sury, has issued a Circular reversing the extraordinary decision made some time ‘since by his predecessor, Mr. Bibb, by which Coffee in Netherlands vessels was admitted into ports of the United States on more favorable terms than when brought in our own vessels. This deci- sion was met by the most earnest remon- No one expected such a result, and if the | & place in so many maps, and countenanced the | Whigs had a made a bold, and vigorous | onset, they would have undoubtedly suc- ‘ceeded. No State, we believe, has more cause to abjure Locofocoism than Maine, and none has been longer under its bane- | belief of the existence of a great river flowing | from the Rocky Mountains to the bay of San | Francisco.

One sentiment only pre- vails among all, a-sense of profound grief— But all of him is not dead. ~ With all cur sense of the irreparable Joss, we “feel, that he ‘still lives among us, in his spirit, in his recorded wisdom, and in the decisions of authority which he has pronounced, Vivit, enim, vivéfgue sem- per; aeique etiam latius in memoria hominum et sermone, versabitur, pos'quam ab octlis re- cessit,’ Mr. Chief Justice—The loss is not felt alone among this bar, ar in the courts of this Commonwealth, but is felt in every barand ev. j ery court of the Uuion. It is not confined to this country, nor to-this continent. He hada wider range of reputation. In the High Court of Parliament, in every Court in’ Westminster Hall, in every distinguished judicature in Eu- rope, in the Courts of Paris, of Berlin, Stock- holm, and St.. Petersburg, in the: Universities of Germany, Italy, and. Spain, his authority was reecived, and all, when they hear of his’ death, will agree, that a great luminary has fallen. He has in some measure fepaid the debt which America owes to England, and the mother can receive from the daughter, ‘without humiliation, and without envy, the reversed he- reditary transmission from the child to the pa- rent. By the comprehensiventss of his mind, and by his vast and varied attainments, he was most fitted to compare the codes of different nations, and compreliend the results of such re. search. His love of country was pure, and he regar- ded justice as the greatest interest of man, and the only foundation of civilization. On_ this foundation he-has built his fame,. and -united his name with that of his country. It was to constitutional law thet much of his attention was directed, and ia the elucidation of which he was pre-eminent, ‘Ad rempublicam firman- dam, el ad siabilieudas vires, et sanandum, pop- lun, onnis ejus per gcbat-institutio.’ But itis unnecessary for us this day to speak in detail of his public or judicial” services.— That duty will remain for us to perform, and it will, no.duubt, be executed, in a- manner. wor- thy of the occasion. Stil], in the homage that will be paid to him, there is ote tribute which may well comefrom us. We have seen him and know him in private life. We can bear witness to his strict uprightness and purity of character ; his sintplicity at unostentatious hab- its; the ease and affability of his intercourse ; his great vivacity amidst the severest labors; the cheering and animating tone of his conver- sation, and his fidelity to his {friends ;—and some of us can testify to his, large and system- atic charities, not dispensed in a public man- ner, but gladdening the hearts of those whom he assisted in private, distilling happiness like the dew of Heaven. His:labors were all subservient to his great object, judicature. -C’est vain que l’oa cherche a distinguer en lui le personne privee ct el per- sonne publique ; un mene it les anime,.un meme, objet, les reunit UV homme, le pere de fam- ille, le cttoyen, tout est enlut consacre ala gloire du Magistrat.’ Mr, Chief Justice,—One may live as a con- queror, a king, or a magistrate, but he must die asa man.

It is upon the farm jrmerly owned and occupied by the fa- | ier of present occupants—John Banton—_ yho was for years before he left for Tex- suspected of carrying on the counter- giting of coin at-this establishment. In- ied, if Weeremember rightly, he was gece or twicé ‘arrested many years ago, , this Gharge, but being a very astute man, with considerable property, he was sways enabled to escape the ponishmont which he was justly entitled. Finably, however, he was compelled to leave: the State, and at the last accounts from him! gas in’hat hitherto land of refugee felons ~Texas, His farm and effects he left in ion of his three sons, one of whom gsince dead, where they have been since residing. | It seems that some two months ago, G. | W. Robinson, (familiarly known about bere as “ Wash Robinson”) who was rais- edin Madison county in this State, and | who followed gambling as a means of livelihood, was arrested in Columbus, Georgia, for passing counterfeit money. The money consisted of notes on the Bank Charleston, and the South Western Rail d Bank, and such was the skill with Which they were executed, that he suc- eeeded in passing one handred and ninety dollars, in notes of various denominations fom $5 to $100, upon akcen-sighted bro- ker Of that place, receiving in return gold at but 2 per cent. discount. Shortly after the exchange was made, one of the notes was bpon examination thought to be not genuine, which led to a more critical ex- amination of the whole of them, when they were all found to be counterfvit. One half ifthe business men of Columbus, howev- ety protested that they were genuine. un- til subsequent events foreed upon them the conviction of their baseness, Robinson was thereupon arrested, but fotested vehemently his innocence, sta- fing that he was a Kentucky drover, and had received this money for stock he hadsold. His room, however, was search- td,and in the lining of a fellow lodger’s | a was discovered that he had con- ied near a thousand dollars of the same ley, and also a bunch of skeleton keys, hich he had with him to answer certain Patposes When his counterfeit money fail- tthim. - He was tried before an examin- ig court, and the evidence being as we ave stated, there was no hesitation as to his guilt and he was sent on for final tial before the Criminal Court. Shortly after hisimprisonment he was taken sick, and Was so ill, that the physician supposed he must die. Under this belief himself, he tent for several gentlemen, and made a ll confession and detailed all the cireum- ances about the counterfeit money which been found upon him.

CAPTAIN FREMONT’S. SECOND. EXPLORING EXPEDITION. CONTINUED: We have nowto accompany Capt. Fre- | monT and his hardy and adventurous com- | panions on their homeward route ; and, in doing so, we hardly know whether the courage which never quailed before the dangers of that route, the perseverance | which never faltered before obstacles ap- parently the most unconquerable, or the promptitude and never-failing resources which furnished the means by which cou- rage and perseverance attained their ends, are most to be admired. It is sufficient that their happy combination in this in- stance led to a successful and most valu- able result. We are confident that, what- ever success may attend the third expe- dition, those engaged in it will deserve to be successful. We look for its return with increasing interest; confident that the aggregate production of the three ex- peditions of Capt. Frenonr will be a source of more than common honor and fame to him and his worthy fellow-labor- ers, and redound to the credit of the coun- try. We took leave of the expedition, in our notice, at the “Dalles” of the Colum- bia, about fifteen miles below the falls of the river, where Capt. I. had collectea a supply of provisions sufficient for his par- ty for not less than three months, also some live catile. The number of horses and mules mustered by the expedition was 104 for “the sustenance of which, our reliance (says the Captain) was upon the grass which we should find, and the soft porous weod which was to be its sub- stitute when there was none.” The expedition commenced its home- ward march on the 25th of November, * At the request of Mr. Perkins,” one of the missionaries at the Dalles— * A Chinook Indian, a lad of nineteen, who was extremely anxious to ‘see the whites,’ and make some acquaintance with our institutions, was received into the party, under my special charge, with the understanding that I would again return him to his friends. He had lived for some time in the household of Mr. Perkins, and spoke a few words of the English lan- guage.” The first object which attracted Capt. Fremont’s attention was the Tlaumath lake; the route of the expedition was therefore almost directly south. On the 30th the narative furnishes the following 5 interesting scientific information : “ Continuing a few miles up the left bank of the river, we encamped early in an open bottom among the pines, a short distance below a lodge of the Indians. Here, along the river the bluff present escarpments seven or cight hundred feet in height, containing strata of a ve- ry fine porcelain clay, overlaid, at the height of about five hundred teet, by a massive strat- um of compact basalt one hundred feet in thick- ness, which again is succeeded above by other strata of volvanic rocks. ‘The clay strata are variously colored, some of the very fine grain- ed. Speciinens brought from these have been subjected to microscopical examination by Pro- fessor Bailey, of West Point, and are consider- ed by him to constitute one of the most remark- able deposites of fluviatile infusoria on record. While they abound in genera and species which are common in fresh water, but which rarely thrive where the water is even brack- ish, not one decidedly marine form is to be found among them; and thetr fresh-water origin is therefore beyond adoubt. It is equal- ly certain that they lived and died atthe situa- tion where they were found,as they could scarce. ly have been transported by running waters without an admixture of sandy particles; from which, however, they are remarkably free.— _ Fossil infusoria ofa fresh-water origin had been previously detected by Mr. Bailey in specimens brought by Mr. James D. Danna from the ter- tiary formation of Oregon. Most of the spe- cies in those specimens differed so much from those now living and known, that be was led to infer that they might belong to extinct spe- cies, and considered them also as affording | proof of an alteration, in the formation from @ched, and found the most complete | which they were obtained, of fresh and salt : . . owe DOsi bi : ough in bextensive establishment for counter- | “2'e" deposites, which, common enoug | Europe, had not hitherto been noticed in the United States. Coming evidently from a lo- cality entirely different, our specimens show very few species in common with those brought by Mr. Danna, but bear a much closer resem- blance to those inhabiting the northeastern States. more recent deposite ; but the presence of a few remarkable forms which are common to the two localities renders it more probable that there is no great ditlerence in their age.” The latitude of this place is 44 deg. 35 min. 23 sec., longitude 121 deg, 10 min. 25 sec.

It was the first time our guides had seen it discharged ; | and the bursting of the shell at a distance, | which was something like the second fire of the } gun, amazed and bewildered them with delight. It inspired them with triumphant feelings ; but on the camps ata distance the effect was dif. ferent, for the smokes in the lake and on the shores immediately disappeared. “The point on which we were encamped forms, with the opposite eastern shore, a nar- row neck, connecting the body of the lake with a deep cove or bay which receives the princi- pal affluent stream, and over the greater part of which the water (or rather ice) was at this time dispersed in shallow pools. Among the grass, and scattered over the prairie lake, appeared tobe similer marshes. It is simply a shallow basin, which, fora short period at ‘the time of melting snows, is covered with wa- . . ° . . | ter from the neighboring mountains ; but this probably soon runs off, and leaves for the re- mainder of the year a green savannah, through ‘the midst of which the river Tlamath, which flows tothe ocean, winds its way to the outlet | , on the southwestern side.” December 11.—We have the following interesting particulars relative tothe Tla-. math Indians: *“ When we had arrived within half a mile of the village, two persons were seen advan- cing to mect us; and, to please the fancy of our gnides, we ranged ourselves into a long | line, riding abreast, which they galloped ahead to meet the strangers. ‘s and repose the party. Forming agreeably to the best maps in my posession, a connected water-line from the Rocky moun- tains to the Pacific ocean, 4 felt no other anxi« ety than to pass safely across the intervening desert to the banks of the Buenaventura, where in the softer climate of a more southern latitude, our horses might find grass to sustain them, and ourselves be sheltered from the rig- lands beyond; but I disteusted the appearance of the country, and decided to follow a plainly beaten Indian trail leading along this. side of the lake. We were now ina. country where scarcity of water and of grass makes travel- ling dangerous, and great caution was neces- sary. On Christmas day the party had. made ors of winter and from the inhospitable desert. The guides who had conducted us thus far on | and for the security of our | our journey were about to return; and I en-! and Jo deavored in vain to obtain others to lead’ us, even for a few days, in the direction (east) which we wished to go. ‘The chief te whom I ap- plied allege on the mountai::s across which our course would shores | carry us, and sickness of his family, as reasons | with which our for refusing to go with us.” On the 13th, however, “in the midst of the | Wood, we heard the sound of golloping horses, and were agreeably eurpaised by the unex- pected arrival of our Tlamath chief. with sev- eral Indians. He seemed to have found his conduct inhospitable in letting the strangers de- part without a guide through the snow, and had come, with a few others, to pilot us a day or two on the way.”’ On the 14th the party struck a stream which subsequent information satisfied Capt. F., was the principal branch of the “Sacramento river ; and, consequently, that this main affluent of the | | bay of San Francisco had its source within | the limits of the United States, and oppesite a tributary to the Columbia, and near the head of the Tlamath river, which goes to the ocean north of 42°, and within the United States.” “ Decciaber 15.—A present, consisting o | useful goods, afforded much eafisfaction to our | guides ; and, showing them the national flag, | I explained that it was a symbol of our nation: and they engaged always to receive it in a friendly manner. The chief pointed out a course, by following which we would arrive at the big water, where no more snow was to be found.” On the 16the of December we have the following vivid description of the posi- | tion of the expedition, and of the scenery which surrounded them ; | about three fect deep, which, being’crusted, ve. d the want of horses, and the snow | “ We travelled this morning through snow | a tour of 469 miles frem the Dalles, and were in latitude 42 deg. 00 min. 09 s€e, ngitude (about) 121 deg., conse- quently on the division-line between Ore- gon and Mexico. The narrative says: “We were roused on Christmas morning by | a discharge from the small arms and howitzer people salnted the day, and the name of which we bestowed on the lake. It | memorated. Always, on days of religious or national commemoration, our voyageurs expect some unusual allowance ; and, having nothing else, I gave them each a little brandy, (which | was carefully guarded, as one of the most use- | ful articles a traveller can carry,) with some coffee and sugar, which here, where every eat- able was a luxury, was sufficient tomake them a feast. ‘The day was sunry and warm; and, | resuming our journey, we crossed some slight | dividing grounds into a similar basin, walled if | (on the right by a lofty mountain ridge. The | plainly beaten trail still continued, and oceasion- | ally we passed camping grounds of the Indians, | which indieated to me that we were on one. of | the great thoroughfares of the country. Inthe r| aflernoon I attempted to travel in a more east- ern direction ; but after a few laborious miles, | was beaten back into the basin by an impassa- | ble country. There were fresh Indian tracks | about the valley, and last night a horse was sto- len. We encamped on the valley bottom, | where there was some cream-like water in | ponds, colored by clay soil and frozen over.— | Chenopodiaccous shrubs constituted the growth, and made again our fire wood. The animals | were driven to the hill, where there was tolera- bly good grass.” | The general course of the expedition | was now again south. On New Year’s ‘eve it had travelled a distanee of 571 miles from the Dalles, and its position was “We were surprised, on riding up, to find ry much cut the feet of our animals.

They were large round huts, perhaps 20 feet in diameter, with rounded tops, on which was the door by which they descended into the in- terior, Within, they were supported by posts and beams. “Almost like plants, these people seem to have adapted themselves to the soil, and to be growing on what the immediate locality affor- ded. Their only subsistence at this time ap- peared to be a small fish, great quantities of whieh, that had been smoked and dried, were suspended on strings about the lodge. Heaps cf straw were lying around ; andthcir residence in the midst of graas and rushes had taught them a peculiar skill in converting this materi- al to useful purposes. Their shoes were made of straw or grass, Which seemed well adapted fora snowy country ; and the women wore on their head aclosely woven basket, which wade avery good cap. Among other things, were parti-colored mats about four feet square, which we purchased to lay on the snow under our blankets, and to use fur table cloths. “ Numbers of singular-looking dogs, resem- otherwise it was all pine forest. weighed down the trees. scarce felt a breath ed the snow through their branches. that it required some exertion of const ' woods, when we were uncertain how far the forest extended, or what lay beyond; and on account of our animals, it would be bad to | spend another night on the mountain. To- words noon the forest looked clear ahead, ap- pearing suddenly to tertninate, and beyond a | certain point we could see no trees. Riding rapid!y ahead to this spot, we found ourselves | on the verge of a vertical and rocky wall of the mountain. At our fect—more than a thou- sand feet below—we looked into a green prai- rie country, which a beautiful lake, some twen- ty miles in length, was spread along the fvot of the mountains, its shores bordered with ereen grass. Just then the sun broke out a- inong the clouds, and illuminated the country below, while around us the storm raged fierce- ly. Nota particle of ice was to be seen on the lake, or snow on its borders, and all was like summer or spring. ‘The glow of the sun in the valley below brightened up our hearts with sudden pleasures, and we made the woods ring with joyful shouts to those behind ; and gradually, as each came up, he stopped to en- Joy the unexpected scene.

F., “we concluded the year 1843, and our New Year’s eve was rath- era gloomy one. The result of our journey began to be very uncertain; the country was singularly unfavorable to travel; the grasses | being frequently of a very unwholesome char. | and cut by the rocks that many of them were 'd scarcely be got along.” “ New Year's day, 1844.—We continued down the valley, between a dry looking black ridge on the left and a more snowy and high one on the right. Our road was bad along the bot- tom, being broken by gullies and impeded by sage, and sandy on the hills, where there is not a blade of grass, nor does any appear on the mountains. ‘The soil in many places consists of a fine powdery sand, covered with a saline efflorescence ; and the general character ef the country is desert.” On the 3d January, “ A fog so dense that we could not see a hundred yards, covered the ' country, and the men that were sent out after the horses were bewildered and lost ; and we were consequently detained at camp until late in the |day. Our situation had now become a serious one. We had reached and run over the posi- tion where, according to the best maps in my possession, we should have found Mary’s lake, or river. We were evidently on the verge of the desert which had been reported to us; and the appearance of the country was so forbidding that 1 was afraid to enter it, and determined to bear away to the southward, keeping close along the mountains, in the full expectation of reach- ing the Buenaventura river.

It | was a well known fact that she had a hand- some amount of money at her command,— | that she had money loaned out ; andalways kept a sum by her. This tempted the cu- pidity of Jacob Cotton. He conceived in his heart the perpetration of the most hor- rid deed ever committed in this part of last, put it in execution. Cotton lived in Davidson county,—Mrs. West in Rowan, with the Yadkin river between their several residences. Cotton had formerly lived in Rowan, near Mrs. very short distance therefrom. Before day, | /on the morning of the 19th March, these | relationsof his,discovered that Mrs. West’s | purse was proven to be the purse, the prop- | house was on fire, and by them spread the | ed into by the President of the Republic of | terrific intelligence, throughout the neigh- | borhood. In a short time many of the neighbors were on the spot, who after dil- igent search discovered the lifeless re- | ‘mains of the aged occupant smouldering | ‘in the ashes of the ruined dwelling. They | immediately drew it out, and with it came | up the hitherto undiscovered remains of the little boy. They were found side by | side just under the spot where the bed_ they usually occupied should have stood. | A Jury of Inquest was sum noned to the | place, who after a careful examination, | returned that Mrs. West and her grand- son, Henry Swink, bad come to their death | by violence from the hand or hands of a person or persons unknown, and that the house was afterwards fired. They were | led to this conclusion by the facts that the | bodies of the unfortunate tenants, were found together where they must have slept; | and that the hinges of one of the doors | were broken and bent as if force had been | applied to open the door.

Numerous other circumstances were brought out calculated to strengthen the the main facts were the money found in his possession—the kind of money—silver— and the purse which contained it.

It branched out near the ground, forming a clump eight to ten feet high body and branches had a naked appearance, as if stripped of the bark, which is very smooth | and thin, of a chocolate color, contrasting well | with the pale green of the leaves. The day was nearly gone; we had made a hard day’s march, and found no grass. ‘Towns became light headed, wandering off into the woods | without knowing where he was going, and Ja- they approach that they anticipate no dif. | cob brought him back. “ Near night-fall we descended into the steep ravine of a handsome creek thirty feet wide, | | and I was engaged in getting the horses up the opposite hill, when I heard a shout from Carson, who had gone ahead a few hundred yards—* Lite yet,” said he, as he came up, diting the’! kat B Th | “lite yet; Ihave found a hill side sprinkled the last week at Boston. e o- | with grass enough for the night.” We drove _along our horses, and encamped at the place about dark, and there was just room enough 'to make a place for shelter on the edge of the | stream. ‘Three horses were lost to-day.” On the Ist March, one of the men, named Dorosier, who had volunteered the day before toreturn and bring up Capt. Fre- come back to the camp, and uneasiness was felt at his absence, fearing he might ‘have been bewildered in the woods ; he, _ however, made his appearance in the eve- ning: “He came in, and, sitting down by the fire, began to tell us where he had been. He im- agined be had been gone several days, and thought we were still at the camp where he had left us ; and we were pained to see that his mind was deranged. It appeared that he had been lost in the mountain, and hunger and fatigue, joined to weakness of body, and fear of perishing in the mountains, had crazed him. The times were severe when stout men lost their minds from extremity of suffering—when horses died—and when mules and horses, rea- dy to die of starvation, were killed for food.— ' Yet there was no murmuring or hesitation.” The fate of poor Deroster was a mel- ancholy one. On the 23d of March he wandered away from the camp, and nev- er returned to it again; nor has he since | been heard of. Capt.

The undulating river shore , was shaded. with the live oaks, which formed a | , continuous grove. over the country, and the same grassy sward extended to the edge of the water; and we made our fires near some large granite inasses which were lying among the trees.” March 6th, “ we continued on our road, thro’ | the same surpassingly beautiful country, entire- ly uuequalled for the pasturage of stock by any thing we have ever seen. Our horses had now become so strong that they were able to carry | us, and we travelled rapidly, over four miles an | hour.” In the afternoon, “ gradually entering a broad valley, we came unexpectedly into a large In- | dian village, where the people looked clean, and wore cotton shirts and various other articles of dress, They immediately crowded around us, w. | and, we had the inexpressible delight to find © | one who spoke a little indifferent Spanish, but who at first confounded us by saying there were no whites in the country ; but just then a well- | dressed Indian came up, and made his saluta- tions in very well spoken Spanish. In answer : : \ | to our inquiries, he informed us that we were | grass in the forest.

Sutter was a with pale green leaves of an oval form, and the | very rich man, and always el to see his coun- | try people. We asked for is house. He an- swered that it was just over the hill before us; and offered, if we would wait a moment, to take his horse and ccnduct us to it. We readily ac- cepted his civil offer. Ina short distance we came in sight of the fort, and, passing on the | way the house of a settler on the opposite side, (a Mr. Sinclair,) we forded the river, and in a few miles were met a short distance from the fort by Capt. Sutter himself. He gave usa most frank and cordial reception, conducted us immediately to his residence, and under his hos- | pitable roof we had a night of rest, enjoyment, and refreshment, which none but ourselves | could appreciate.” “‘ Many of our horses and mules bad fallen | over precipices and were killed cn our descent of the mountain; and some were lost with the | packs they carried. Among these was a mule with the plants which we had collected since leaving Fort Hall, along a line of two thousand miles’ travel. Out of sixty-seven horses and mules with which we commenced crossing the Sierra, only thirty-three reached the valley of the Sacramento, and they only in a condition to be led along.” A very interesting account is given of Capt. Sutter and the settlement at New | Helvetia. That gentleman has succeeded in converting the Indians in his neighbor- ‘hood into a peaceable and industrious peo- ple. He employs a number of them in agricultural operations, and there were a | number of girls at the fort in training for | a future woollen factory. Very encourag- ing accounts are given of the beauty of the settlement and fertility of the soil._— Captain Sutter trades with the Columbia settlements by means of the Sacramento, and Capt. Fremont saw a schooner at the landing, which was shortly to proceed to Fort Vancouver for a cargo of goods.— Several other persons, principally Ameri- cans, have established themselves in the valley.

We here found this beau- tiful shrub in thickets, some of them being 12 feet in height. Occasionally three or four plants were clustered together, forming a grand bouquet about ninety-feet in circumference and ten feet high ; the whole summit covered with spikes of flowers, the perfume of which is very sweet and grateful. A lover of natural beauty can imagine with what pleasure we rode among these flowering groves, which filled the air with a light and delicate fragrance.. We continued our road for about half a mile, interspersed through an open grove of live oaks, which, in form, were the most symmetrical and beautiful we had yet seen in this country. The ends of their branches rested on the ground, forming somewhat more than half a sphere of very full and regular figure, with leaves apparently small. er than usual. “The Californian poppy, of a rich orange color, was numerous to-day. Elk and several bands of antelope made their appearance. ‘Our road was now one continued enjoy- ment; and it was pleasant, riding among this assembiage of green pastures with varied flow- ers and scattered groves, and out of the warm green spring, to look at the rocky and snowy peaks where lately we had suffered so much.” On the Ist of April the party met with bands of elk, one of which numbered a- bout two hundred.

In | greater part the vegetation along our road con- sisted now of rare and unusual plants, among which were many entirely new.” On the 13th, “ we reached the bottom of a | creek without water, over which the sandy beds ‘and below, to the right, it was a broad bed of | dry and bare sands.

This little stream | showed plainly the manner in which the moun- ‘tain waters lose themselves in sand at the east- ' ern fyot of the Sierra, leaving only a parched | desert and arid plains beyond. ‘The stream en- | | larged rapidly, and the timber became abund- | ant as we ascended. A new species of pine made its appearance, with several kinde of oaks, and a variety of trees; and the country changing its appearance suddenly and entirely, we found ourselves again travelling among the old orchard-like places. Here we selected a delightful encampment in a handsome green oak hollow, where, among the ae bolls of the trees, was an abundant sward of grass and pea vines.

The cottonwood varied its foliage with white tufts, and the feathery seeds were flying plentifully through the air. Gooseber- ries, nearly ripe, were very abundant on the mountain; and as we passed the dividing grounds, which were not very easy to ascertain, the air was filled with perfu.ne, as if we were entering a highly cultivated garden ; and, in- stead of green, our pathway and the mountain sides were covered with fields of yellow flow- ers, which here was the prevailing color. Our journey to-day was in the midst of an advanced spring, whose green and floral beauty offered a delightful contrast to the sandy valley we had just left. All the day, snow was io sight on the butt of the mountain, which frowned down upon us on the right ; but we beheld it now with feelings of pleasant security, as we rode along between green trees and on flowers, with hum- ming birds and other feathered friends of the traveller enlivening the serene spring air. As we reached the summit of this beautiful pass, and obtained a view into the eastern country, we saw. at once that here was the place to take leave of all such pleasant sccnes as those around The distant mountains were now ‘bald rocks again ; and below the land had any color Taking into consideration the na- ture of the Sierra Nevada, we found this pass an excellent one for horses ; and with a little labor, or perhaps with a more perfect exami- nation of the localities, it might be made suffi- ciently practicable for wagons. Its latitude and longitude may be considered that of our last en- campment, only a few miles distant. The ele- vation was not taken—our half-wild cavalcade making it too troublesome to halt before night when once started. “We here left the waters of the bay of San Francisco, and, though forced upon them con- trary to my intentions, I cannot regret the ne- cessity which occasioned the elevation.

We therefore refrain, however strongly tempted, from extracting from \this book any part of its contents. The other matter in the book consists chiefly ‘of facts extracted from the report made by the Commissioners appointed in the year 1841 by the Executive of the United States to investigate the affairs of the New York Custom-House.

PARENTAL AUTHORITY.” other place in the Union. . It is distressing to see so little restraint imposed upon the Youths of our city, We call the attention of Parents that they may, in future, be more observant of the conduct of their boys, and adopt such a system of management as will not only prove beneficial to them, but add great- ly totheir own peace and happiness. On this subject, a contemporary, in answer to the questions—* Suppose a son determined to play the truant, to race the streets, and to set a Parent at defiance, has that Parent any power sufficient to prevent it? Have the community gone into any Convention to give efficacy to his control ?”—says : Ral. Reg. “ The parent who has such a son may thank himself for it. No discreet, firm-minded Parent will desire the aid of the community in his do- mestic government. God has given him all dient son, it is precisely because he has neglect- ed to use his power. Let him begin with the boy as soon as he manifests any intelligence, and teach him suBMIssSION TO AUTHORITY, and | the lessén will never be forgotten. Let the child feel that he is governed by sysTEM not caprice, and that punishment, when inflicted, is the natural and necessary result of his own disobedience, not of the passion or impatience of his father—and a habit of filial reverence will be acquired, that can never be broken. Begin nicnt with your child, and always be truthful, reasonable, consistent and decided towards him, and you will never need a Parental Institute with a “ porter bearing a key as massive as the Penitentiary key.” We know of no place where the exer- cise of Parental Authority is more needed, than in Salisbury. We have on many oc- casions had to be out on public duty after night, and were astonished at the number of boys running to and fro through the streets, (children of those whom we thought knew better how to control them) swearing like sailors, and blackguarding to such a degree, that we know would ut- terly astonish their parents if they knew it.

They were walk- ing together through a corn field on the low 3 of Davidson creek, and were in the act stepping over this singular reptile before they ‘discovered it. They instantly drew back, and faving procured a missile, struck it several blows on the head, and having bruised it se- vrely, coneluded they had killed the snake.— Upon their approaching it, however, it offered jattle from the other end of its body, and then for the first time, the idea of a double headed sake occurred to them. ‘They killed it, and o examination found that it hAd two perfectly shaped heads, one at each extremity of its body, with eyes, mouths, and tongues in each, be- ween which there was no perceptible differ- ence, except that one was a little lrager than the other.

As we understand the re- ports, the resolution of the Committee relative to the payment of $2,500 to the Bishop was not reached atall. The Bishop (B. ‘I’. Onderdonk ) stands exactly where he did—the parties break- | ing off with a sort of drawn battle. The Stand- | ing Committee were justified in inviting Bishops | of other Diocesses to perform Episcopal acts in | the New York Diocese and to defray the ex- penses thus incurred out of the income of the Episcopal fund. So that as the New York Ex- | press says: ‘ Young people can now be con- | firmed and take upon themselves the vows as- ' sumed for them by their Sponsors in baptism. | Clergy can be ordained without sending them, for this purpose, beyond the limits of the Dio- cese; and all other things that a Bishop could | do, if there were one, can be done, by the Bish- ops of the surrounding Diocese.” Under the rule which prevails in Epis- the two branches of which they consist—the clergy and lay delegates—is necessary to the | passage of any measure. ‘clergy in the New York Convention, leant to ‘the Bishop, a majority of the laity against him. Therefore, although the majority of the clergy | for, was much greater than the majority of laity | _ against, a measure favoring the Bishop ina / manner obnoxious to the latter, could not pass. For this we suppose, no offort was made to pass | the resolution for paying the Bishop the $2,500 | | per annum, which the minority were evidently | unwilling to assent to, unless he rould resign.” Tuesday morning the attendance upon the | Convention was thin, and the New York Cour- weariness, _ ier says there were manifest signs of both of mind and bodySand the general tone o the proceedings was languid.

Though the belief in Astrology is, in these | days of “universal enlightenment,” fallen | somewhat into disrepute, and in fact only re- garded as a superstitious tissue of falsehood, yet one cannot help looking sometimes towards the Heavens, as “ Ad Sidera tollere vultus,” was considered the great distinguishing mark of man’s superiority over other creatures. One, therefore, looking towards the Heavens at this time, must needs be struck with the prox- imity of Mars and Sarurn. According tothe Astrologists, their conjunction invariably fore- bodes misfortune. ‘This year has been remark- ably characterized by Fires, Mortality, and threatenings of Wars.

The pieces were from the size of a grain of corn up—the largest weighing fifty-three pennyweights. They were obtained without washing, having been picked from the earth that was dug out of the vein. He washed some of the earth, and found it immensely rich in small particles. The vein is in a hill that was worked — y ago, and — gold TH i i not promise to be profitable working of it was abandoned.

It was a very suitable place to recover fromthe fatigue and exhaustion of a month’s suffering in the hot and steril desert. The meadow. was about a mile wide, and some ten miles long, bordered by grassy hills and mountains—some of the latter rising two thou- sand feet, and. white. with snow down to the le- | vebof the vegas. Its elevation above the sea was 5.280 feet; latitude, by observation, 37° 98’ 28’, and its distance from where we first struck the Spanish trail about 400 miles. Count- ing from the time we reached the desert, and began to skirt, at-our descent from Walker’s Pass'in the Sierra Nevada, we had travelled 550 miles, occupying twenty-seven days, in thatinhospitable region. In passing before the great caravan, we had the advantage of find. ing more grass,~but the disadvantage of find. | ing also the marauding savages, who had gath- | ered down upon the trail, waiting the approach | oihat prey. Thisgreatly increased our labors, | besides costing us the life of a valuable man. | We had to move all day in a state of watch, and prepared for combat—scouts and flankers out,a front and rear division of our men, and baggage animalsinthe centre. At night, ca:inp duty was severe. Those who had toiled all. ay, had to guard, by turns, the camp and the horses all night. Frequently one-third of the whole party were on guard at once ; and noth. ing but this vigilance saved us from attack.—- We were constantly dogged by bands, and even whole tribes of the marauders; and aithough Tabeau was killed, and our camp infested and imgulted by some, while swarms of them re- Mained on the hills and inountain sides, there was manifestly a consultation and calculation pes on to decide the question of attacking us. aving reached the resting place of the Vegas | de Sania Clara, we had complete relief from ihe heat and privations of the desert, and some | relaration from the severity of camp duty.— Some relaxation, and relaxation only—for camp | guards, horse guards, and scouts are indispen- } table from the time of leaving the frontiers of Missouri until we return to them.” | “On the 17th May, after 440 miles of trav- | tlling on a trail which served for a road, we wain found ourselves under the necessity of ex- | Ploring a track through the wilderness. The Spanish tiail had borne off to the southeast, crossing the Wah-satch range. Our course led lo the northeast, along the foot of that range, tnd leaving it onthe right. The mountain pre- feuted itself to us under the form of several ridges, rising one above the other, rocky, and wooded with pine and cedar; the last ridve cov. tred with snow. Sevier river, flowing north- Wardly to the lake of the same name, collects ptincipal waters from this section of the Vah-satch chain. We had now entered a re- Sioa of great pastoral promise, abounding with 8 streams, the rich bunch grass, soil that Would produce wheat, and indigenuous flax- Bowing as if it had been sown. Consistent with the general character of its bordering Mountains, this fertility of soil and vegetation not extend farintothe Great Basin. Mr. ph Walker, our guide, who joined us on the hand who has more knowledge of these Parts than any man I know, informed me that all country to the lett was unknown to him, and even the Digger tribes, which frequented ¢ Sevier could tell him nothing about it. * May 20.—We met a band of Utah Indians, by a well known chief, who had obtain- ed the American or English name of Walker, Which he is quoted and well known. ‘They Weré all mounted, armed with rifles, and use it tiles well. The chief bad a fusec, which carried slung, in addition to his rifle.— . They Were journeying slowly towards the Span. ii trail, to levy their usual tribute upon the Californian caravan. They were rob- ers of a higher order than those of the desert. They conducted their depredations with form, tad under the color of trade and toll for passing ye ugh their country. Instead of attacking ibilling, they affect to purchase—taking the : horses they like, and giving sometbing nominal teturn.

At noon.we fell in with a party of In. dians coming out-of, the mountain, and in the af. ternoon entamped ona tributary to the lake, which is separated from the waters of the Se- vier by.very light dividing grounds. “Early the nest day we came insight of the lake ; and, as we descended to the broad bot- toms of the Spanish ‘fork, three horsemen were seen galloping towards us, who proved to be Utah Indians—scouts from a village, which was encamped near the mouth of the river. ‘They were armed with rifles, and their horses were in good condition. We encamped near them, on the Spanish fork, which is one of the princi- pal tributaries to the lake. Finding the Indi- ans troublesome, and desirous to remain here a day, we removed the next morning further down the lake, and encamped on a fertile bottom near the foot of the same mountainous ridge which borders the Great Salt Lake, and along which we had journeyed the previous September.— Here the principal plants in bloom were two, which were remarkable as affording to the Snake Indians—the one an abundant supply of food, and the other the most useful among the applications which they use for wounds, These were the kooyah plant, growing in fields of ex- traordinary luxuriance, and conrallaria stellatta, which, from the experience of Mr. Walker, is the best remedial plant known among those In- dians. _A few miles below us was another vil- lage of Indians, from which we obtained some fish—among them a few salmon trout, which | were very much inferior in size to those along the Californian mountains. ‘The season for taking them had not yet arrived; but the Indians were daily expecting them to come out of the lake. * We had now accomplished an object we had in view when leaving the Dalles of the Co- lumbia in November last: we had reached the | Utah Lake ; but by a route very different from what we had intended, and without sufficient time remaining to make the examinations which were desired. It is a lake of note in this coun- try, under the dominion of the Utahs, who re- sort to it for fish. Its greatest breadih is about tifieen miles, stretching fur to the north, narrow- ing as it goes. and connecting with the Great Salt Lake. This is the report, and which I be- lieve to be correct; but it is fresh water, while the other is not only salt, but a saturated solu- tion of salt; and here is a problem which re- quires to be solved. It is almost entirely sur- | rounded by mountains, walled on the north and | east by a high and snowy range, which supplies to it a fan of tributary streams.” “Tu arriving at the Utah lake, we had com. pleted an immense circuit of twelve degrees diameter north and south, and ten degrees east and west ; and found ourselves, in May, 1844, on the same shect of water which we had lett in September, 1842. ‘Phe Utah is the_south- ern limb of the Great Salt lake; and thus we had seen that remarkable sheet of water both | at its northern and southern extremity, and were able to fix its position at these two points. |The circuit which we had made, and which had cost us eight months of time, and 3,500 niles of travelling, had viven us a view of Or- egon and of North Caillornia from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific ocean, and of the two principal streams which form bays or harbors on the coast of that sea. Having completed this circuit, and being now about to turn the back upon the Pacific slope of our continent and to recross the Rockey Mountains, it is natural to look back upon our fvotsteps, and take some brief view of the leading features and general structure of the country we had traversed.— These are peculiar and striking, and differ es- sentially from the Atlantic side of our country. The Mountains all are higher, more numerous, and more distinctly defined in their ranges and directiofis ; and, what is so contrary to the na- tural order of such formations, one of these ranges, which is near the coast (the Sierra Nevada and the Coast Range,) presents bigh. er elevations and peaks than any which are to be fuund in the Rocky Mountains themselves. In our eight months’ circuit we were never out of sight of snow ; andthe Sierra Nevada where we crossed il, was near 2,000 feet higher than the south Pass in the Rocky Mountains, In height these mountains greatly exceeded those of the Atlantic side, constantly presenting peaks which enter the region of eternal snow ; and some of them volcanic, and in a frequent state of activity. ‘hey are seen at great distances, and guide the traveller in his courses. “The course and elevation of these ranges give direction to the rivers and character to the coast. No great river does or can take its rise below the Cascade and Sierra Nevada range: the distance to the sea is too short to ad.nit of it. The rivers of the San Francisco bay, which are the largest after the Columbia, are local to that bay, and Jateral to the coast, having their sources about on a line with the Dalles of the Columbia, and running each in a valley of its own, between Coast range and the Cascade and Sierra Nevada range. The Co- lumbia is the only river which traverses the whole breadth of the country breaking through all the ranges, and entering the sea.—Draw- ing its waters from a section of ten de- grees of latitude in the Rocky Mountains, which are collected into one stream by three /main forks (Lewis’s, Clark’s, and the North fork) near the centre of the Oregon valley, this great riverthence procceds by a single channel to the sea, while its three forks lead each to a pass in the mountains, which opens the way into the interior of the continent. This fact in rela- tion to the rivers of this region gives an immense value tothe Columbia.

Southwardly there were objects | worthy to be explored, to wit. the approxima- tion of the head-waters of three different rivers —the Platte, the Arkansas, and the Grand Ri- | ver fork of the Rio Colorado of the Gulf of California ; the Passes at the heads of these rivers; and the three remarkable mountain coves called Parks, in which they took their rise. west, and then to re-cross to the east; making in all, with the transit we had just accomplish- ed, three crossings of that mountain in this sec- tion of its course. But no matter. The coves, the heads of the rivers, the approximation of | their waters, the practicability of the mountain passes, and the locality of the THREE PARKS, 1 were all objects of interest, and, although well known to hunters and trappers, were unknown | to science and to history. We therefore chang- ed our course, and turned up the Valley of the Platte instead of going down it. ‘“ We crossed several small affluents, and a- gain made a fortified camp in a grove. ‘The country had now become very beautiful—rich in water, grass, and game ; and to these were added the charm of scenery and pleasant wea- ther.” After an interesting visit to the “ New and Old Parks,” which are described as being fertile and well wooded and water- ed valleys,and “a paradise to all grazing animals,” the party arrived on the 22d June at the summit of the dividing ridge, to which Capt. F. gives an estimated height of 11,200 feet. “ On the 23d we were met by a party of Utah ? women, who told us that on the other side of | the ridge their village was fighting with ‘the | Arapahoes. As soon as they had given us this infurmation, they filled the air with cries and | lamentations, which made us understand that some of their chiefs had been killed. “ Estending along the river directly ahead of us was a low piney ridge, leaving between it, and the stream a small open bottom, on which the Utahs had very injudiciously placed their village, according to the women, numbered a- bout 300 wafriors. Advancing in the cover of the pines, the Arapahoes, about daylight, char- ged into the village, driving off a great number In this sponta. | the village, fortified ourselves strongly in the The party arrived at Brent’s Fort on the Ist July, where they were received— “ With a cordial! welcome and a friend'y hos- pitality, in the enjoyment of which we Spent se- veral agrecable days.. We were now in the region where our mountaincers were accustom. ed to live, and all the dangers and difficulties of the road being considered past, four of them in- uae Carson and Walker, remained at the ort.” The expedition reached the little town of Kansas on the hanks of the Missouri river onthe 31st July, having made a jour- ney of 3,702 miles from the Dalles of the Columbia, and of 2,569 from Capt. Sutter's settlement of New Helvetia. “ Duriug our protracted absence of fourteen months, in the course of which we had neces- sarily been exposed to great varieties of weath- er and of climate, no one case of sickness had ever occurred among us. “ Here ended our land journey; and the day following our arrival, we found ourselves on hoard a steamboat rapidly gliding down the broad Missouri. Our trave]-worn animals had not been sold and dispersed over the country to renewed labor, but were placed at good pastur- uge on the frontier, and are now ready to do | their part in the coming enpedition.

He accompanied me to Washington, and, after remaining several months at the Columbia college, was sent by the Indian department to Philadelphia, where, , among other things, he learned to read und write well, and speak the English with some fluency. “ He will accompany me in a few days to the frontier of Missouri, whence he will be sent with some one of the emigrant companies to the village at the Dalles of the Columbia.” We have thus endeavored to furnish our readers with such an analysis of Capt. Fremont’s two expeditions as may, with the copious extracts which we have made from the narrative, enable them not only to trace his adventurous course, but also to estimate what he has accomplished, and the great value of the information which he has collected, in a geographical, a commercial, and a scientific point of view. We will not attempt a recapitula- tion ; for where so much has been done, and so well done, it would be only to re- peat, in another form, the substance of all which we have already said. In geo- graphical discovery Captain Fremont. has done much: he has shown that the trans- it across the Rocky Mountains, particular- ly at the Southern Pass, is comparatively easy; that the -proportion of absolutely barren country is small; that, from with- ‘in one hundred and fifty miles of the Mis- souri frontier to the longitude at Fort La- ramie. (105 deg. 40 min..) there is in gen- ‘eral great plenty of the short early grass called buffalo grass. Westward of Lara- mie, for a considerable distance, the region is sandy and apparently steril, and the | place of the grass is usurped by the arte- mesia: other localities, where there is a deficiency of pasturage, are found on both sides of the mountains. These expedi- | tions, however, will furnish to trading car- ' avans, or to emigrating parties, a knowl- edge of the most practicable routes, where ‘they may most generally find. susténance | for their animals and water.and fuel for (themselves.

The Editor of the Union says he is au- thorized by Mr. Polk and Mr. Walker both to declare that Mr. Walker had nothing to do with the writing of the Kane letter. This may be true; for the Kane Jetter has been blended, in some manner, with the letter to which allusion is made in the fol- lowing paragraph, contained ina late let- | ter from a Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot, which he ventures to predict will not be denied: “ That Mr. Walker did know of a correspon- dence that took place during the Presidential campaign last year between Mr. Polk and Mr. F. O. J. Smith, iu relation tothe support which Conservatives (such a» Messrs. ‘l'allmadge, Smith, Graham, Sutherland, &e.) would give , Polk and Dallas, and the course which Mr. Polk would pursue, if elected President, to- wards the Conservatives ; that Mr. ‘Tallmadge and Mr. Walker examined and agreed in the propriety of Mr. Smith’s letter to Mr. Polk ; that the letter was sent under Mr. Tallmadge’s frank ; and Mr. Walker told Mr. ‘Tallmadge | that he would write to Mr. Polk on the subject, and urge him to comply with the requirements | in Mr. Smith’s letter; that he afterwards in- | formed Mr. Tallmadge that he had so written ; that Mr. Polk replied to Mr. Smith’s letter in | a manner that gave satisfaction to Mr. Smith and Mr. Tallmadge ; that Mr. Polk knew that Mr. Tallmadge was interested in Mr. Smith’s letter, and that the letter was written as much to meet the case of Mr. Tallmadge as that of any other man; and yet notwithstanding the assurances he gave to Mr. Smith, he had hard- | ly become Mr, President Polk by the efficient aid of the “ Conservatives,” before be hurled Messrs. ‘V'allmadge, Sutherland, and Graham | from office, with an alacrity which would not have been more astounding had he been pledg- i=) ed to make them walk the plank rather than to protect them.”’ Now, in addition to what the correspon- dent of the Baltimore Patriot says, your correspondent predicts that the Union will not deny the correctness of the above statement, and challenge Mr. Smith tothe publication of Mr. Polk’s letter. Mr. Tall- madge is now in this city. A morning paper of yesterday, referring to stockgambling in times gone by, says: “ The next movement of the Government at Washington, calculated to operate on stocks, was the removal of the deposites. Those connected with the Kitchen Cabi- | net at Washington having brought Gener- | al Jackson up to the scratch, immediately | sent directions to New York ordering op- | erations in the stock-market, knowing ve- | ry well that the removal of the deposites, whenever it should be ordered, would pro- | duce a great sensation and a great depre- | ciation in stocks.” On this subject (‘he removal of the de- | posites) there is much of secret history, which | propose, with your approbation, to make public.

We do not wish to be understood as justifying any thing of the kind, but refer to the subject more to show the hypocracy of Locofoco- ism, alias democracy, than for any other purpose. If it was wrong in McKenzie, it was equally wrong in their publishing the stolen letter of Mr. Clay out of a Whig Office! But did these sticklers for the sanctity of private correspondence, last year raise their voice against the villain who stole Mr. Clay's letter! Did they pounce upon the Locofoco paper in New York, who first published it, and charac- terize it as an act, deserving the severest punishment ? No! But on the contrary, Locofoco-like, they took advantage of it, published Mr. Clay’s letter from Maine to | Louisiana; and justified it as an expo- sure due to the people. Though disap- a course, by any man or party, we think ally deserved. Never has the corruption of any party been more completely laid bare than in this instance. Every letter which we have seen, shows in these men clearly a destitution of moral principle in every respect. Their whole aim, from Marrin Van Buren down, scemed to be to make money. The good of the people, (which the democracy make so much noise about.) is entirely thrown in the shade, and _ sc/f-interest, all in all with them. They need not think to turn the tide of public opinion by raising the hue y ] invasion of private and cry of infamous invasion of 7 correspondence. No. If it is private, the true character of Locofoce deimocracy is so vividly held up to the publie eye, that the people will hardly fail to mete out to the men exposed, that reward which they so richly merit. In relation to this correspondence and | kindred subjects, James Gorpen Bennett, | Editor of the New York Herald, a man destitute of any thing like character, and who figures conspicuously in it himself, has the following: “The whole Administration of Mr. Van Bu- ren was merely a patch.work sort of an affair, consisting of efforts made by speculators on all sides to mend their fortunes, and get out of dif- ficulty. But they did not all succeed. Many, indeed, retired with immense fortunes—others were completely and irretrievably ruined. Mr. Van Buren himself, it is generaily believed, re- | tired with nearly half a million, and now leads a country life, enjoying the ofium cum dignitale, or the dolce fernienti at Lindenwald and Kin- derhook, formerly the residence of Judge Van Ness, whose private letters about thirty or forty years ago were published surreptitiously by some one,as Van Buren’s have been at this day. Yet it is very well known that, when Mr. Van Buren became Secretary of State, he had to borrow, with the endorsement of Churchill C. Cambreling, a sum of $4000, in order to pay some debts he owed while Governor of N. York. Had I known that five or ten do!lars was of so much importance to him, as to have been made the subject of urgent letters to Jes- se Hoyt, I need hardly say that I never would have thought of asking the loan of $2500 from him, or any of his friends, in the year 1833.” Correction.—One of our Public Officers, says the Raleigh Register of the 10th inst, in ma- king a rough estimate of the amount of Reve- | nue receivable this year by the State, express- ed to us the opinion, that there would be a de- ficiency of some five thousand dullars. On a more careful examination, however, of the sub- ject, he informs us that he was in error, and that there will be an excess of Revenue over the last year, instead of a deficiency, of 4,126 98. We are happy to make the correction. (> Mr. Jacob Phillips, of Rutherford coun- ty, was murdered on Monday the 6th instant.— He had started in the morning to Spartanburg, 8.

Gazette, charging the Whig party with ecrimes“both of the present and future times, exclaimis in true Locofgco style, “ Where are the Federal- ists?’ The Enquirer, a Whig paper pub- lished at the same place, answers the que- ry in the most satisfactory manner. It SAYS: | “ Henry Hubbard, now resides in Charles. town, in the region where he got upa meeting to sustain the Hartford Convention; Samuel Cushman is now at Portsmouth holding an ap- pointment under the present Administration ; Cyrus Barton has lately been appointed by Pre- sident Polk, Marshal for the District of New Hampshire ; James Buchanan is now, as. Sec- retary of State, assisting President Polk in the settlement of the Oregon question with Eng- land; George Bancroft is his Secretary of War; Louis NcLane has beef sent as Minis- terto England; A. H. Everett to China ; Ro- ger B. Taney is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court ; Charles Lane is now Editor of the Belk- | strong Loco District, No.6; Robert P. Dunlap, | formerly called * Young Tim Pickering’ for | his excessive Federal zeal, is now a Loco Re- | presentative fram Maine.” This reply, says the N. O. Bee, is just and well timed. If there be any thing in Locofocoism very particularly. sickening, it is the canting epithets which it employs of Federalism and Democracy. Here is a list of the most prominent and able members of the Federal party. at a period when that party had ‘local habitation.and a name,’ who are now conspicuous for their devotion to the faction which mod- estly arrogates to itself the title of ‘The Democracy,’ but to which, neither in the character and principles of its supporters, nor in the doctrines which it practically enforces, has it a solitary title. It is in- deed remarkable that nineteen-twenti- eths of the surviving members of the Fed- eral party are now closely affiliated and | leagued in fraternal union with Locofoco- |ism. We can explain the connection only |in one of two ways. Either the Federal- | ists, having been so long destitute of influ- ence and patronage, are willing to accom- modate their opinions to those of the rul- ing powers for the sake of the spoils, or, what seems more probable, modern De- /mocracy and ancient Federalism exhibit a homogeneity of nature, which irresistibly attracts the scattered remnant of that par- Alien and Sedition Law, wore the black cockade, and contended that it was unbe- coming a moral and religious people to re- | joice at the victories gained over their en- _emies.

It is compara- tively an easy task for a frothy writer to pour out daily, colamns of words—words, upon any and all subjects. His ideas may | flow in “the weak, washy, everlasting | | flood,” and his command of language may enable bim to string them together like bunches of onions ; and yet his paper may be a meagre and a poor concern. But what is the labor. the toil of such a man, who displays his “leaded matter” ever so largely, to that imposed on the judicious, well informed Editor, who exercises his vocation with an hourly consciousness of its responsibilities and duties, and devotes himself to the conduct of his paper with the same care and assiduity that a sensi- ble Lawyer bestows upon a suit, or a hu- mane Physician upon a patient, without regard to show or d'splay? Indeed the mere wriling part of editing a paper, is but a small portion of the work. The in- dustry is not even shown there. The care, the time employed in sclecting, is far more important—and the tact of a good Editor is better shown by his selections than any thing else ; and that we all know, is half the battle. But as we have said, an Ed- itor ought to be estimated and his labors understood and appreciated, by the gen- eral conduct of his paper—its tone—its temper—its uniform, consistent course— its principles—its aims—its manliness— ‘its dignity—its propriety. To preserve these as they should be preserved, is e- nough to occupy fully the time and at- tention of any man. If this be added to the general supervision of the newspaper establishment, which most Editors have to encounter, the wonder is, how they can find time or room to write at all !” { Alexandria Gazette.

They have hit upon the time when men’s eyes are idle—(when they are a- broad in the street)—and you cannot walk now in Lon- don without knowing what amusements are going on, what new specifics are for sale, what is the last wonder, and a variety of other matters which send you home wiser than you came out. Mammoth placards, pasted on the side of a structure as large as a one story house, | arecontinually moving along on wheels at the same pace , as you walk—the streets really resembling a ¢ ‘tgeous pageant with the number and showiness of these legible locomotives. I observe one, particularly, which moves by some mysterious power within a large, showy car, making its way alone, without either horse or visible driver, and covered with advertisements in all the colors of the rainbow. An every day sight is a procession of a dozen men, in single file, each carrying on a high pole, exactly the same theatrical notice. You might let one pass unread, but you read them, where there are so many, to see if they are all alike! Men step up to you at ev- ery corner, and hand you, with a very polite air, a neat- ly folded paper, and you cannot refuse it, without push- ing your breast against the man’s hand. If you open it, you are told where you can see a “ mysterious lady,” or l r | possible to be ignorant of what there js to see and buy | ia London, and this applies also to the large class who | could not, formerly, be reached. because they never read | the advertisements in the newspapers.

JUREY. This is one of the most extraordinary cases which was ever brought to the con- sideration of a judicial tribunal in this ci- ty. The prisoner has been for two years | or thereabouts a citizen of Richmond, and during that time, has conducted himself in such a manner as to command the respect and esteem of those who knew him.— He was attentive to his business, regular in his habits, and his neighbors all testify to his courteous and obliging disposition. Such, indeed, was the regard in which he was held, that his next door neighbor, engaged in a business similar with that he parsued, when interrogated by an offi- cer in one of our Banks in which J.’s for- geries had been detected, but not know- |ing that such detection had made, gave | J. a high character as a merchant, a gen- | tleman. It is now ascertained that he has been for some time obtaining money by notes with forged names—generally those of persons and firms at a distance, well known in Bank—and that with the mo- ney so obtained he has conducted his bu- Siness as a grocer and commission mer- chant, with what prudence may be judg- when he ad- |. | a mometit of weakness, has fallen from the condition of his young, accomplished, owed wife, and his not fatherless, yet or- ‘phan child / With this theme I cannot | _day and of the Sabbath, spring again fresh the last dollar to pay all you owe. will forgive all to a repentant sinner.” — | | } _of small notes, says “the base currency | lation.” | trine. something unusual.

So much by way of introduction to the pres- ent state of his case. Yesterday, at his own instance, Jurey was brought before the Mayor, and by his counsel, Ro. G. Scott, Esq., confessed his guilt, and threw himself upon the mer- cy of the tribunals of his country. Mr.S. did this in a speech which drew tears from those present. We never saw a man who seemed to suffer from a deeper contrition than does Jurey. Elis case will now be carried with little delay, accom- panied by his own confession, through the courts, until finally disposed. Lis bear- ing and confession must mitigate the cen- sure visited upon him. Since the above was prepared. we have the following substance of the remarks of Mr. Scott, furnished originally for the Star.—Richmond Times. “ When on yesterday, for the prisoner, I asked you to postpone the investigation until to-day, I then gave assurance that | sought the indulgence for considerations, which, if I were permitted to disclose, would be satisfactory to your judgement. Youwrkindly and promptly granted what ] asked ; and I will now, | hope, show that it was under no ordinary circumstances that I requested the delay. Until Satur- day last the prisoner was to me a stran- ger. On that day, and in this the gloom and darkness of his short life, he solicited my professional service, and has held coun- sel with me in regard to this most serious prosecution. In a professional life of now more than thirty years, and some famili- arity with scenes of distress and desola- tion in human affairs, in which every sym- pathy of the human heart would be a- roused in pity and commiseration for the humbled sufferer and offender, I have nev- er witnessed but one other which made a: -the great bell toll a funeral | So deep an impression on my heart, as ad of'a marriage peal ; but, the | that of the, unfortunate young man whose | ‘Proceeded, and her part came, | °*S¢ is now to be investigated. Early in my interviews with him, the first, the great absorbing desire with him—one that seemed fastened on his conscience and his soul, which no human ingenuity, ad-_ blemn voice, * What | Vice or reasoning could shake—was trath- | fully to make known his error and prompt- | ly to submit to,such punishment as the of: ended laws of his country denounced o-| gainst him. Firmly, yet calmly, he was warned: and admoni of re fearful | coution of such , sure of that; and while they answer the | road, on the 4th day of October next. | very handsomely and conveniently improved.

We wonder what the edit- or was considering about when he uftter- | ed this nonsense. Perhaps he was think- | ing of the late increase to his subscription | list. We admit that the doctrine may ap- | ply in that particular case, and the baser sort of newspapers may force the better | out of market, in these days of the tri-| umph of political depravity—for there is no | rule without some exception. In regard to small notes: We have ad- vocated the doctrine that it would be best to have no bills under five or ten dollars. | But the people have decided otherwise ; and we are sure that printers are the last persons in the world to complain of the) circulation of small notes, if the rest of the community are satisfied. One, iwo, | and three Zoltar bills are very convenient | for remittances for subscriptions to news- papers in this State ; and especially for us who expect and desire to receive all our claims by mail. Jt is folly, however, to talk of this being the baser currency. When they cease to be considered equiv- alent to specie, they will be refused by , printers and every one else—we may be | ' public convenience, they are as good as bills of a higher denomination. The Newbernian says the Standard must have a hobby. Mr. Holdcn has sev- eral hobbies, for riding none of which is he to be specially blamed. He has, doubt- | less, received orders from his superiors to make small notes an “ issue” through the next campaign—with many other small matters, which will come up in due time ; making avery general assortment of small alfairs.— Raleigh Independent.

From a review in the National fate of a volumn, recently published, com “Transactions of the American: og Society,” we take the following m ticle furnished by Dr. Gerard Tt tingvished State Geologist of ‘Tennestee—and the equally distinguished Professor.of Natural Philosophy, &c., in our University. “ An account of some ancient see,” by Gerard Troost, M.

Ma,I declare I never said no such thing.’ ‘Yes you did, and Chaney heard you.’ William’s countenance immediately showed that his memory had been refreshed; and he drawled out ‘never none now,’ with atone and countenance that plainly imparted guilt to some extent.

SCRAP OF POLITICAL HISTORY. Correspondence of the Nat. Intelligencer. New York, October 7, 1845. In my letter of the 4th I made a short quotation from a morning paper of the 3d. The writer of the article referred to says: “Those connected with the Kitchen Cab- inet dynasty at Washington having brought | General Jackson up to the scratch,” &c. to remove the deposites from the Bank of the United States. Now, this is doing the General great in- justice, and a full detail of the intrigues by which that measure was so suddenly effected may not, even at this late day, be uninteresting to many of your readers.— The true history is known to buat few.— General Jackson intended to remove the deposites in February, 1833. during the Measure. The state of trade in the manufacturing towns | is encouraging and satisfactory. The accounts from Berlin states that a trea- | ty of commerce is on the eve of cempletion, be- | tween the Zollverin and Austria. | Letters from Batavia, received in Holland, | state that a treaty of commerce has been conclu. | ted between England ard Siam. Sept. 26.—At the sailing of the Jast pa we stated that wet weather, after | an interval of nearly three weeks, and returned ; | and that the outstanding crops, which it was | believed were in sma!! quantily, would suffer, ,.€eriously by the change.

Even at the present moment there is a good deal of cote standing produce inthe field. The fine weath. | er has again returned, but season is too far ad- | vanced to permit the sun to have much power, ‘and no doubt can exist, that the husbandman | who did not. ‘take time by the forelock,’ when the. opportunity offered, will suffer severely by hisindolence. With the rise of the markets, | ee respecting the coming winter begin to pre- | vail. .-The failure of the potato crop is almost gen. | eral,.andto meet the deficiency which that ca- | lamity has occasioned, large quantities of rice | and. bond grain has been taken out of bond, for transhipment to France, Hollandand Belgium. Notwithstanding the fact of the market rising, the averages are descending, owing to the large quantities of inferior grain, the produce of the present harvest, which have been thrown upon the markets.

The most strenuous opponent was Louis McLane, then Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Li- vingston, Secretary of State, and General Cass, Secretary of War, were both against the proposed measure. Mr. Van Buren, who had just been elected Vice President, | was also decided in his opposition to it. | He was then at Albany, where he had | spent the winter, waiting for the period when he was to repair to Washington to | enter upon his office.. It will be recollec- ted that it was during that winter that N. P. Tallmadge was elected U. States Senator against the wishes and influence of Mr. Van Buren, who preferred his friend Mr. Van Buren, about the middle of February, commenced his journey from Albany towards Washington. Whilst stop- ping a few days in this city the reports became thick and rife that General Jack- | son was about to remove the deposites.— This intelligence alarmed no one so much | as Mr. Van Buren. It came to him in such a shape as gave him reason to ap- prehend that the removal might be made before he could reach Washington. He determined, therefore, to set out immedi- ately for the capital, to prevent it if pos- He knew that Mr. McLane was, like himself, opposed to it, and that it could not be done whilst he was at the head of the Treasury Department unless he had changed his views. Immediately on his arrival at Washington he sought an inter- view with Mr. McLane, and his anxieties were relieved by the assurance that no removal would be made while he remain- ed Secretary of the Treasury. From Mr. Verplanck he received the same informa- tion. General Jackson was rampant for the removal. Kendall was pushing him on, and did not despair, before the arrival Pines a ed tt ges, it rendered him any thio; ver, so. deé sO_ fortable. He was, ents) 2 2% * We: committed to Mr. McLane and ot! he could not change front. 53 Mr. Van Buren left Washington, _and whole country through which the Presi- dent passed appeared to have forgotten party distinctions. All seemed to be Jack- son men. At New York Mr. Van Baren met the President. Noman was so much carried away as was he by acclamations which every where attended Jackson.— Then it was that the conviction first rush- ed upon his mind that Kendall's threat had a significant meaning, and that there was no safety or security for him but in ministering freely to Jackson’s wishes, prejudices, and will. At New Haven, and through Connecti- cut, the acclamations of the multitude as the President progressed were, if possible, increased, and with them Mr. Van Buren’s conviction®. At Boston they became ir- resistible. The President was ill there a day and confined to his room. It was on that occasion that Mr. Van Buren first an- nounced to him his change of views ; con- fessed that he had been in error; that Kendall was right and honest about it; of Mr. Van Buren, of accomplishing the object. At this moment, too, Mr. Ver- | planck, as Chairman of the Committee of | Ways and Means, made a report favora- ble tothe Bank. Such an array of ob- stacles made the Hero pause, while Ken- dall’s ire was excited, especially against Mr. Van Buren, whose opinion President Jackson heeded more than any one else. Congress adjourned, the inauguration took place, and the deposites remained unmoved, but Jackson was still determin- ed on accomplishing it sooner or later.— He said Van Buren was mistaken in his opinion on the subject, and that he would yet discover his mistake. A journey to the North and East was then projected for the President and decided on. It origina- ted with Mr. Van Buren in the hope of diverti.g the General’s mind from his bankphobia and his desire to remove the deposites. It was arranged that the tour should commence the latter part of May, | and Mr. Van Buren left Washington for Albany, agreeing to join the President in New York. While Mr. Van Buren remained in | Washington he urged upon the members of the Cabinet who were opposed to the removal, and particularly on Mr. McLane, to continue his efforts to defeat if possible the proposed measure. The anxiety of Mr. Van Buren was increased when he saw the General was about to make a new cast of his Cabinet, and was inform- ed by Kendall that it was to be done with a view to the accomplishment of his dar- ling project. McLane must be got rid of. Livingston, who was Secretary of State, was appoin- ted to France; McLane was transferred from the Treasury to the State Depart- ment; and a man, never dreamed of by any one but Jackson, was called to the Treasury—William J. Duane, one of the General's first, and, as he supposed, firm- est friends: one whom he thought | lid. shortly after the Presidential tour began.

[Recorded at Mocksville, on Wednesday, 22d instant. ] Jacob Cotton, convicted at the last Term Superior Court of the murder of unerring in the matter, and his foresight | Swink, was executed at Mocksville on prophetic. The next day the General left Boston for Concord. the homage he received, and the “ girls” who came to do him honor on his tour? The papers in New York were teeming with accounts of his journey. when every body was astonished with a postscript saying that Gen. Jackson had suddenly cut short his tour, returned from the East, and passed through New York | at daylight for Washington. In twenty hours more he was in the capital, and his | Cabinet and every body else could not | have been more astonished if a mine had been sprung under the city. | | | | | | | yesterday. It will be remembered that in Who has forgotten | our account of Cotton’s trial, we stated he mile of | had made a confession of his guilt after the sentence of death had been passed up- on him; and that in that confession he implicated in this horrid tragedy. three other persons, two of whom, David Val- entine and Peyton Hasket, had been ar- rested and lodged in jail to await their trial. The other person implicated was Moses Parnell: He was taken very sud- denly and violent ill on the morning of that awful deed, and on the succeeding day was summoned to the judgment bar of God, to answer for the deeds done in The reason assigned for this sudden 1}, body. movement was the President’s ill health. It was not the true reason. It was not even a specious reason. He was notilla moment after he left Boston, nor after he returned to Washington. The true secret of his sudden return was Mr. Van Buren’s change of views on the removal of the de- posites. From the moment that change was announced to him, he was restless and uneasy, and unwilling to proceed fur- ther. He finally became violent, and in- sisted upon returning immediately to Washington. All who were about him endeavored to dissuade him therefrom, and Mr. Van Buren among the rest. He yield- ed for a moment. and proceeded to Con- cord. He would go no further. He said the deposites should be removed from the | | | | | | | | | | | | | } | | bank before one week. He was impera- | tive and inexorable. Remonstrances were | unavailing. In one day he was in New York. In one more he was in Washing- 'ton; rather rapid travelling for an inva- The sight of a band of Indians with their tomahawks never excited him so much as did the immediate prospect then of putting his foot on the neck of the “ Monster,” as he called the bank. He was full of fire and energy. Mr. Van Bu- ren accompanied him. He could not let him leave him, though Mr. Van Buren would gladly have done so; for he dread- ed to encounter Mr. McLane, whom he had so urgently pressed into the front rank of opposition. No man was more sincere and honest in his views than Mr. McLane. He had, it was said at the time, and I believe it, prepared, at the sugges- tion of Mr. Van Buren, a strong and able paper, remonstrating against the removal, and setting forth the evils which he tho’t he foresaw therefrom. What occurred immediately after Gen. | Jackson’s return to Washington I reserve for another letter. A CALM OBSERVER. THE TRAITOR’S DOOM. Poor Joun Tyter! When he had finished his course of infamy at Washington, and :etir- ed to his secluded home on the St. James, we had supposed that the public prints would avoid as far as possible, the mention of his name. He had gone into power with perhaps more of the popular confidence than any President since the days of Washington—bis very name had been considered a synonym for honesty, and no one dreamed that with the dying injunctions of the lamented Harrison impressed upon his mind, he could in a few short months be so car- ried away by ambition and the flatteries of the corrupt and base, as to betray and ruin the very party which had lifted him to power. Yet such is the story which the pen of the im torian will bave to record. Ind it seems as if justice were no longer disposed to be tar- dy in her visitations upon one who has proved himself so unworthy of the honorable trust re- posed by a virtuous and honest people. In our reading room, is an engraving by Kimberly, giving a most capital likeness of each of the American Presidents, from Washington down to the end of 1844. In. the centre is = full Se Jacob Cotton confesses that he was at Mrs. West’s on the night she was murder- ed: that he saw her and her grandson both killed, but that he did not do it: That he saw the house plundered, and that he re- ceived a portion of the money abstracted therefrom. He states that six or nine months pre- vious to the perpetration of this crime, David Valentine, mentioned the subject to him; and proposed that they should rob Mrs. West: That Valentine said he knew where the old woman kept her keys, and that it could be very easily done, if rightly managed. That Valentine pro- posed it to him more than once; and that finally, a plot was made about three weeks before hand, in which the four persons above named were to bear a part. They appointed for the night, the 18th of March: | they were all to meet at an old deserted | residence in the neighborhood, known as |“ Jo. Swink’s place,” about three-quarters | | rtial bis- | } | | | | | | of a mile from Mrs. West’s:—Jacob Cotton states that when he reached the place de- signated, on that night, he found David Valehtine already there, and that Peyton Hasket came up very shortly afterwards, and that Moses Parnell was the last one getting there: That shortly after Parnell came they all started for Mrs. West's, and stopped once. for a few minutes only, to take a drink of liquor;—they had a jug along ;—and then went on. That when they reached the house, David Valentine pushed one door open,—one of the doors on the south-west side—that the door yielded | toa very slight effort: that he thinks there | | against the was no latch or any thing else about the door broken by the push, and that it made | but little noise. That David Valentine then went into the house followed by Pey- ton Hasket : That himself and Moses Par- nell stood at the doors to watch: that Parnell stood at the door opening into the North-west wing of the house: that that door was closed ; and that he stood at the open door: That Valentine went to the fire-place and lighted a piece of pine, and commenced searching about for the keys: he looked in an old clock case that stood against the petition, where he had previ- ously stated that the old lady kept them; and not finding them there, searched the cupboard, and other places, but did not find them, Whilst searching about he found a small axe: with this he forced open one chest, from which he took out a quantity of silver money. This chest was in the same room where the aged woman was sleeping, and within a few feet of the foot of her bed. Hasket held the light, and Valentine worked. Having gotall the money fro. this chest, they went into the adjoining room: they had to pass near by the foot of Mrs. West’s bed, which sat ¥ wr 3 oo n the right i ES ver Be on Ot ee a: ’ ’ Toe oie a ™s petition dividing the two} of scious as to what was going: ing asked if it was not probable Ww awake before, he answered, “I think not, out of sleep.” She asked “ who is there ? Valentine?” Valentine made no answer, ried in with him, and strack her several heavy blows on the head: The old lady wards, soon expired. The little boy, Hen- ry Swink, when be saw his grand-mother was killed, raised up in the bed; and at one blow with the same club Valentine killed him. One would suppose that a man guilty of ‘| such a horrid deed would immediately have set about making his escape: He would at least have gone out of the pre- sence of those mangled and bleeding bo- dies, and where no walls, however frail, could have hindered his anxious and ex- cited visio. But such was not the case with Valentine, he coolly proceeds, ac- cording to Cotton’s statement, to plunder the house—returned to the’chest at which he was last at work, and completed his search. Cotton says he heard Mrs. West breathe out her last feeble gasp. and ter- rified at the awful deed, walked off a lit- tle piece from the house, and sat down in a horse-trough; that he tried to hurry Valentine and Hasket to come out of the house, but that they remained there al- most an hour after the murders had been committed: that before they came out, they approached the bed on which the two corpses lay, and examined them to see if they were dead : that himgelf and Hasket were very much opposed to the murder— were very much displeased with Valen- tine for doing it; and he (Cotton) told him if he had known he was going to “do that” ihe would not have come with him.— | That they had no idea of committing mur- der, but only intended torob: that Valen- tine said he was obliged to do it to save himself: that Mrs. West had recognised ‘him, and he knew he would have to | suffer unless he killed her: that Valen- | tine and all of them were very sorry it so | turned out. | After they left the house, they went off _some two hundred yards into the field to- | wards Henry Swink’s old place, and there ‘counted the money which amounted to | $240. Cotton received as his share, a | buckskin purse containing forty dollars.— | The other members of the party, Valentine in particular, were not willing to allow him any more, as he would not go into the house, or as he “did nothing.” Soon af- | ter receiving his share, having a long ways | to go, he started for home: he wanted to | get across the river before day: states that | he crossed at Locke’s bridge both going and | coming, and that he travelled along the | bank of the river on either side as he came |and returned: that having crossed the | bridge on his return, he laid down in the | woods and slept a short time: that he re- | mained there, until he went to Furgerson’s, | where, it is remembered, he betrayed him- | self, by exhibiting his money. Jacob states that he does not know who set fire to the house: that when he left, it | had not been fired. He says that he nev- | er returned to the house after getting his | share of the money; but that Valentine, | Hasket and Parnell talked of going back, for she spoke as one who had just awoke | (rising up in her bed) —i ‘that you Date Es Sah, but immediately went towards her with | Z a large percimmon stick, which he ‘car-| ss ; In exclaimed “‘oh Lord!” and falling back-}% In relation te this’ achieved by the igs 0: vantageous circumstances, Sentinel has the subjoined | “Although we might have secur a majority in the Senate by proper exert on the part of our friends in Some of th, Districts, the result on the whole, (thoogt not unexpected to us,) is so gratifying, the we shall forbear to utter any complaints It is, indeed, a great moral tri triumph of the friends and advocates of good government over. those: who sed rather the supremacy of party th ot good of the State—a triumph of that cli who desire to see the faith and hoor am credit of the State maintained, alike Pi different whether he who directs its.af fairs be a Whig or a Democrat.

FREMONT’S THIRD EXPEDI. TION. : The St. Louis Republican of the 4thin- stant, says that Jacob Crum and several other men who accompanied Capt. J, ¢. Fremont, on his third tour of exploration, returned to that city on the 8d instant— Crum was one of the hunters for the par ty, and complains very much of the tyran-_ ny of Capt. Fremont over the men. He also disagreed with the Captain about his pay; and left the company somewhere in the territory belonging to the Cheyenne Indians. Three days after Crum parted with the party, eighteen others left; some being sick, were discharged, and others being dissatisfied, refused to go any far- ther. Those who returned make loud complaints against Capt. Fremont for bis rigid discipline, and say that many others of his men were discontented; but the statements of these men must be taken with many grains of allowance, as they certainly would do all they possibly could to justify the course they have pursued. From the material, says the Republican, of which the party was composed, a rigid discipline, was no doubt absolutely neces sary to bring them into subjection, with’ out which the laudable designs of the er pedition could not be accomplished. Itis important to gain a correct knowledge of and when he left, they started off in that | | direction. He does not know how the re- | 'maining two hundred dollars were divi- | 'ded; but although Parnell “did nothing ” | | but stand at the door and watch, it was | understood, that he was to have a part of | | it. He never saw any one of the compa- | | by afterwards until he was arrested, and | | knows nothing more in connection with | | the transaction than has been here given. | | The prisoner scemed remarkably cool | —no excitement about him whatever. It | appeared quite singular, since it was evi- | | dent he was not flattering himself with | | any hope of escape ; but seemed to look | | forward to his approaching end as calmly | _as if it were some ordinary occurrence in | | which he felt no very particular interest. | He is, nevertheless, very penitent, and | ‘frequently upbraids himself for having | been concerned in the crime for which he | dies; and says that if it had not been for | ‘his love of whiskey, he would never have. | come to such an end. A Locofoco Correspondent of the Journal of ; Commerce offers some very cool advice to the | Whigs. He says that they have the capital, | the talent, and enterprise of the country ; that | they control the public taste in morals, and in literature, and in science ; that they preside over the institutions of education and benevos lence ; and all this, he thinks, should content them without dabbling pe tivo The gov. ernment of the : the the country through which they are to pass that all should be in perfect subordination, and nothing but the most rigid discipline would be of any avail. We do know when we have had a rarer or richer treat than the reports of the first, and second expeditions of Capt. Fremont. afforded us. The information which they give of a country over which we claia@ jurisdiction, and which has never beet thoroughly explored, is such as will inter est and instruct every American ; and 88 soon as he makes his report of his third, tour, we hope to be able to present either a part or all to the public. CUFFIE AND THE GUYASCUTUS. A friend of*ours was riding through a part of Davie county,@.few days ago—a part not moch | travelled—andilooking ahead saw a negro bey meeting bim ina cart. Feeling a little mis- chievously dispased, now said he, -“ I'll have some sport outépf that nigger.” He toucb- ed his horse withhis whip so as to increase the y increasing the speed of bis t the boy; and Jooking * | much frighted ible, he delivered himeelf — in a most a Mice as follows : “ Save your” self, boy, the Guyascutus ‘is loose !!” “Ser answered the boy, Increasinghis excited look# * to the highest pitch, our friend again exclaim- ed, “the Guyascutus is loose !!$ Cuffie, whos face wore ratheF’a knowing look, as well #8 * | good coat of grease, replied, “I spect dey ¥ massa.” ur friend sloped. from France as bel- is inmaking mortar in tbe ups * a . last, Je-ue0d = : t —_ a a es : : . a ¥, elurns are favora- ~ Ph eh: Senate is safe 400 or 500 ma- « Delaware county rolls De es gives a Whig jority 5 Marion, unexpect ‘majority ; Montgomery gives an increase-of +more than one hundred over the Presidential ‘election; Muskingam rolls up 800 ; Shelhy ‘gies @ gain of 150 since the Presidential elec. ‘ton, Belmont gives a gain of more than one shundred ; Greene gives between 1,100 and «1,200 to Whig Senator, being a large Whig in. On ‘the other hand, in Fairfield the ‘Eeesboco majority is cut down from 1,100 to 990; Butler is cut down from 1,400 to 400 ; ‘Knox is cut down from 600 to 200 ; and, to terown the whole, Licking changes a Locofo- ‘eo majority of 340 to a Whig majority of be- ‘tween two and four hundred! Whatever may ‘he the result in the rest of the State, these facts + speak for themselves, and say to the whole ‘country Onto 18 A Wate Srate! She takes ther stand alongside of Kentucky, Vermont, ‘Massachusetts, Connecticut, and those other ‘States that are unalterably Ware !” Writing on Saturday morning, the Editor of the Journal says: “ From present appearan- ees the Whig majority will be at least six in the Senate and from ten to sixteen in the House.” 1 W. H. Van Schoonhoven, was re- cently nominated as a candidate for the Senate of the New York Legislature by the Whigs of the 3d district, and soon af- ter he was nominated for the same office by the Anti-rent Convention. Mr. Schoon- hoven being present, avowed himself an Anti-renter. This at once brought the Whig press down upon him for counten- ancing such a disorganizing faction as the Anti-renters. The New York Express, one among the ablest Whig papers in the State, thus concludes an article on the sub- ject: “fs this the man to be supported by the law and order Whigs of the 3d District—Is this the one that is to go into the Senate Chamber, the Court of Errors? God forbid! Never will our support be given to such an one ; never will the votes of the nuble phalanx of law-loving Whigs of old Delaware be given to the man that will thas cringe and succumb to as base a combination as that of the anti-renters, to win their support.” ’ sm | al ‘3 pt “tie ; incl: ly very sone i ai Council and _ ative tickets majorities varying from 1,000 to 1,200." , re The Locofocos have carried the county; H which is said to be 2 blow that the lead. ers of the Natives little expected. The Lancaster Examiner informs us that, notwithstanding the running of a Native ticket, the Whigs have triamphed in that county by majorities ranging from 400 to 800. . In Chester the entire Whig ticket is e- lected exceptingthe Prothonatory, and the majority is strong enough to secure the Whig Senator. In Montgomery, Schuylkill, Cumberland. and York counties the Locofocos have been successful, as usual. 4 (7 Our readers know that a New York cor- respondent of the National Intelligencer ex- plained, a few days since, how the statement that Mr. Walker dictated, or had some share in the celebrated Kane letter, probably came to be made—viz: That a letter or letters were written by F. O. J. Smith and Tallmadge, touch- ing the course that would he pursued towards ocratic candidate for the Presidency, and that ling of the Kane letter. Whether this charge of “ bargain” with the Conservatives is true or not, remains to be proved. one very strong circumstance in support of its correctness—viz: That the Union, which re. gards it a duty to contradict every thing said of Mr. Polk and the Cabinet which is not true, has not yet contradicted this charge! If it be true, the Conservatives have been treated rather treacherously, and will be apt to blow Mr. Polk unless, indeed, they are appeased. Mr. ‘Tall- madge is in Washington. may indicate the prosecution of Conservative claims under “the bond ;” and if it be so, we shall soon know how he prospers. | Tea or Paracuay.—A letter from the Uni- ted States Minister in Peru, to J. C. Pickett. Esq., descriptive of the Tea of Paraguay, ap- pears in the National Intelligencer. ‘The tree and small twigs are dried by fire on a kind of | kiln, then pulverised, packed firmly and rammed with a wooden maul into a raw hide bag con. | taining two hundred or two hundred and fifiy | pounds, and sent to market. The beverage is | made by infusion, as we make tea, and then | sucked gently from the pot or covered cup by a | reed or straw. It is said to be an excellent | cure for dropsy. The New York Gazette, speaking in re- lation to the same matter says: “With the Rochester American, another Whig paper, we have no hesitation in saying that we regard any connivance with the dis- honest, revolutionary and bloody spirit of anti- reatism, as an infamous outrage against the peace of society, and a treasonable dereliction ia any citizen who can stoop to be guilty of it.” This is the true Whig principle—and it gives us pleasure to be able to record such sentiments of our brother Whigs of New York. GEN. THOMAS G. POLK. This worthy scion of a noble stock, hav- ing been nominated as the Whig Candi- date for Governor of Mississippi. has de- clined the nomination. Some one having taquired through the “ Southern Reform- er,” who is Thomas G. Polk? a writer in the Jackson paper answers as follows: Register. “Thomas G. Polk is a native of Meck- urg county, which he represented for many years in the Legislature of North Ina, With credit and distinction. He t removed to Rowan, and was immedi- uely elected to the Legislature from that ‘ounty, which station he continued to fill & number of years. After residing for some time, he was spoken of for vernor, and would doubtless have been tominated and elected, but for the fact he had determined to remove from Slate. He is now a citizen of the ‘pire county of Marshall—is a scholar, and gentleman. He is the son of ecky lian Polk, who proclaimed the lenburz Declaration of Independ- ary he 20th May, 1775, from a white- ae in the town of Charlotte.

I> The Wetumpka Whig says, that the late religious revivals at Mont- +y and Wetumpka, the Hon. James eter ex-member of Congress, the Wn. L.

The N. York Mirror, speak- ing of it,says: “It begins with a com- plaining voice, the first murmurs of dis- content among the people ; to which re- spond tones of encouragement, as if from their future leader, Washington. This is followed by the rush to battle, where through the clang of other instruments, the violin is heard to the tunesof Yankee Doodle’ and God save the King. The fierce conflict gradually subsides into a_ wail for the fallen. The third movement is a very beautiful March, dedicated to the Memory of Washington. The whole con- cludes with a strain of triumph, ending | with Hail Columbia.” Do Tue American Review, for October has been received. And it is our opinion that it ranks as the foremost work of the kind published. THE RIGHT SPIRIT. We recognise in the following Resolutions, | adopted at a Whig Convention held at Car- thage, Obio, on the 4th instant, the right spirit, | the general diffusion of which, when the time comes for serious action, cannot fail to ensure | to the Whig party, throughout the whole Union, | a triumphant success :— National Intelligencer. ‘6 Resolved, That the name of Wuig is, in the history of our country andthe lineage of | our ancestors, a name honorable among men— associated with the love of Jiberty —distinguished for resistance against despotism—admirable for what it has done, and to be desired for what it | would do. | “ Resolved, That to the brave there is no| despair; that the hour of adversity should be | the hour of effort: and that, as the Whigs of | the Revolution conquered all obstacles, and | became victorious in defeat, so we, like them, | will continue to struggle for our country, and, | trying to deserve success, look with hope and | confidence from a disastrous past to a glorious | future.” MILLERISM.—IMPOSTURE. The celebrated Joshua V. Himes, the found- er of the Miller Tabernacle, in Boston, and the leader of the deluded mortals who believed in the destruction of the world in 1843, has been sojourning in Maine of late. He came down from Boston, thereabouts, for the pur- pose of attending a Miller camp-meeting held in the town of China a week or two since, and spent the last Sabbath in this place. He held forth during the day and evening at the vestry of the Universalist Chapel. Himes has evi- dently got hold of another string, and is pulling now for the grand catastrophe at some future time. We understand that he contends that the difference in the calculations of chronologers carries the time forward to 1847, which is the | them should their support be given to the Dem. | Mr. Walker was privy to and-advised the wri. | There is, however, | His presence there | or shrub grows wild in the woods: the leaves | |accept the Judgeship, and consent to be 'shelved—a mode of disposing of him very | ference to one important subject. _pedient that he should be gotten rid of, | we anticipate he will have to go, some | /more cheerfully compromise their claims | 4 AE | The barque Phoenix, of this city, arrived at | Aransas on the 26th ult., in 24 days from For-' | tress Monroe, with companies D and E of the 4th regiment, under command of Brevet Major Morris. | The barque Pacific arrived on the 20th ult., with flying artillery and horses on board. Thir- teen horses died on the passage, from being put in the hold, as is alledged. The ship Herman had alsoarrived with troops | from Old Point Comfort. The volunteers from N. O. were suffering from fellow fever and di- arrhcea, there was some talk of removing the _army up the Nueces. There were a number of vessels at Aransas from New York, Balti- more, New Orleans and other ports. Trade at Corpus Christi was brisk, and Mex- ican traders arrived daily in camp, which was regarded an indication that there was no con- siderable body of Mexican troops within a rea- ‘ | | | > F ,~ rty Mie ss —. $F Fe, es oe common Escap Watches, fine ladies and gentlemen’s breast pins, and finger Rings (anew sonable distance.

An arrival at New Orleans from Vera Cruz | brings eleven days later intelligence. From | the city we learn that Genera! Herrera was | formally proclaimed President on the morning | ' of the 16th of September, in presence of both | louses of Congress. In his inaugural speec he declares that the security of its foreign re- lations will be one of the most constant employ- ments of the government. It will aim to pre- serve and to form friendly relations with for- eign powers, avoiding al] occasions for contro- versy, “ but guarding always the sovereignty and independence of the Republic, its honor and dignity, and the observance and respectability of the national laws.” The papers of Mexico are still at their old vocation of talking about war, the embarras- inents of the government, and the causes of rev- olution. ‘The plan, according to their state- | ment, is to attempt the reconquest of Texas, without declaration of war. A great many of the vaguest statements are given as_ the Mexican forces. But no intelligence exciting the slightest apprehension of a serious demon. stration is communicated. | | Mr. Bucuanan.—The Washington let-_ ter writers say that Mr. Buchanan will | | | | much to thettaste of the Administration, doubtless, for he is believed to be a sort of | obstacle in the Cabinet—at least with re- | It is ex- | and if he does not accept tlie Judgeship, | how or other.

S“ The antumn has come, the trees and fields have put on their sober hue, and men are accommodating them- selves to the change.” “The- concluding portion of the above extract from a letter, which we received afew days since from a friend in West- chester, is in delightful harmony with the trué’principles of religious philosophy.— “Men are accommodating themselves to the change.” This is the.very lesson which the seasons, and their changes, are inten- ded to. impart—this the effect they should uce. The falling leaf, and withering ke bage, and the naked field, should lead to contemplation—not mourning. not mel- " pi or the sober reflection, from which we rise with better resolves, with fiemer faith,,with humbler dependence. ‘!The seasons are always changing, and | every stage in each is beautifully instruc- | tive.’ Only a few days since we drove to) a thick wood, now seldom traversed, and | paused amid its dim silence, to note the effect of the autumn upon the foliage.— Here and there ‘a tree stood half denuded ; the long summer had exhausted the nu- trition of the leaves, and they had fallen, and were warming the earth beneath the branches, and sending back with grateful usé the nourishment which had been de- tived froin the soil. - Here-and there again a tall denizen of the wood was seen dropping, as if reluc- tantly, a few of its leaves. They had not dricd up, to become the sport of every lit- tleeddying breeze, but they fell straight down, as if with a motive. Their fresh- ness had notdeparted. Theyseemed like some of the fleeting joys of life, that take | with>them so much of their vitality, so | of their means of loveliness, that par expect them to return. We re- r¥a.in our hearts a place for the delights asures of youth, even till age tught with it the gray bairs that a the grave, just as the branch re- he-footstalk’s mark, half buried be- the bad that has crowded the leaf s place.

Gazette. A Sad Phase of Human Nature.—The ordinary civility of mankind towards each other is very much dependent on their ac- tual relations. The rich are sure of civil treatment, and they like the compliment, though even éiecy must understand the mo- tive. One of the most estimable men in this city, (New York,) once highly prosperous, informed the writer of this, that upon the loss of his property, and his entering upon a businessof an humble chracter, by which to recover himself, he found that the very persons to whom he had rendered the greatest services passed him by without speaking. and this made such an impres- sion on his mind that he now never speaks | first to any acquaintance lest he may find out his mistake in his estimate of their - 7. " oO. wies.4 ere characters, and learn the miserable mo- tive of their once extreme civility. “‘ Such be as the flies of the summer, while plenty sit- teth at the board ; Such be as vultures round a carcass assembled togeth- er for the feast ; But a sudden noise scareth them, and forthwith they | are SPECKS AMONG THE CLOUDS.” Civility is, however, a pleasant commo- dity, and the shadow which we are oblig- ed to accept instead of the substance.— Though its motive may in many instances be very questionable, it is a restriction to | which we submit. Would to Heaven that | sincerity walked hand in hand with it.— True Sun. Curious Effects of Periodic Vibrations.— Many curious instances might be produced of the great effects produced by periodic vibra- | tions, One of the most familiar, perhaps, is the well known result of marching a company of soldiers over a suspension bridge, when the latter. responsive tothe measured step ; begins to rise and fall with excessive violence, and, if the marching be still continued, most proba- bly separates in two parts. More than one ac- cident has occured in this way, and has led to the order, we believe, that soldiers, in passing these bridges, must not march, but simply walk out of time. Another curious effect of vibra- tion in destroying the cohesion of bodies, is the rupture of drinking glasses by certain musical | sounds. It is well known that most glass ves. | sels of capacity, when struck, resound with a | beautifully clear musical note of invariable and | definite pitch, which may be called the pecu- liar note of the vessel. Now, if a violin, or | other musical instrument be made to sound the | same note, the vessel soon begins to respond, | is thrown into vibrations, its note grows lond- er and louder, and eventually may break. In order to insure the success of this experiment, the glass should be perfectly annealed. How- ever the tendency to break is invariably the same. PUFFING. We see in our exchange papers, an extract of a letter from Shelby county. Kentucky, pub- lisbed in the Union, in which the writer says : * The whole country, in this region, begins to realize the happy effects of making Mr. Polk President. Confidence has been again restor- ed, money is becoming plenty and business of all kinds brisk. People have all gone to work again.” This puff must be intended to operate on the soft ones, and soft they must be who can per- suade themselves that the mere elevation of James K. Polk to the Presidency has had the wonderful effects ascribed to it. For thus far what has Mr. Polk on his administration done, or what time or opportunity have they had to do any thing to effect the prosperity of the country? Should Mr. Polk’s administration of the government, and the like of policy he pur- sues, fortunately prove favorable to the pros- perity of the country, we shall heartily rejoice and give him all due credit. But these windy attempts of the Polkites to glorify him for what he can possibly as yet have had no hand in ef. fecting, rather diminish than increase our ex- pectations of good to the country from his ad- ministration. If Mr. Polk’s views of domestic policy are, as many of his friends contend, indentical with Mr. Van Buren’s, we apprehend that bet- | = donned—a carnival of the ppulation ; a little display, before Ie should be stripped off, and joy- ler be sent to rule the naked shiv- jects of his icicle sceptre. ow dropping of the leaves around % retrace it now, but we remember B deepest interest of active life | ld. forget for his whole life the de- nature of his existence, and be Mnging to some petty stem, or delighting 8 Some accidental breeze, that creates pleasure by the very agitation which may a from his hold. Not that to fall @. the.worst which might betide to drop down like the half yel- foliage before us, to mingle in the rich- S$ ofthat upon which it rested, to add be good.qnality of that of which it .* part, and to return a portion of ¥ a wee akened in us a train of reflections.

On this bead the Baltimore Amer- can well remarks: “ When Mr. Polk shall | t the country now enjoys | have introduced his own system, saturated as Picayune Wit.— Yesterday afternoon one of the affaires dhoneur at which we hinted in the morning came off between two gentlemen of this city, Mr. Roper and Mr. Price. The meeting occurred—at least so we’ve heard—on the Metairie Ridge, between Potter’s Field and the Old Bayou Bridge. They fought with small- swords ; the thing was fixed in few words, and soon the affair was ended. The lung- es were thrice, and made in a trice—all given by Price—when low Mr. Roper de- scended. The fall, however, was only a slip, and Roper, untouched, merely fell on his hip. Again they went at it, each nerved te combat it, and thus they parried awhile; then Price made a lick, and all saw Pip 3 “hone on the ground gave a smile.

The poor and infatuated young girl, whom aisdeneeres has thus made the dupe rh wis- ble bribes and artifices. sos is Margaret E. Oury, the daughter of Tho’s. Oury of this village, and aboot 15 or 16 years of age. We have understood they are making their way towards Lynchburg or Richmond, and will probably change their course and pass through Franklin County, and the State of North Carolina to the South. ‘They represent that they were married in this place, a state- ment which is utterly false. ‘They are travel- ling in a two-borse harouche, with a cover to it, and driven by a likely mulatto man. Thus whilst this unprincipled, unfeeling, and depraved wretch, is lacerating the heart of an innocent and confiding wife, and robbing ber home, which he had pledged himself on the marriag2 altar, to render virtuous and happy, in wretchedness, sorrow and disgrace ; he is c nducting a young credulous, vacorscious girl, from her parental roof, to linger out a living death in the charnel houses of prostitution ! Thus has be invaded, with pestilence the do. : . | mestic hearth, and torn from her sacred domi- | cil, the favorite daughter of a defenceless dis- | consolate mother. By this atrocity, he has fill. ed ber house with desolation, and stamped ev- erlasting infamy on her family, by the ineffable ruin of her daughter. A short time since, this earth could not reveal a lovelier vision; for this tend rand hapless girl, but recently glit- tered in the charms of youth and was robed in chastity. But behold her now the loathsome victim of an adulterous bed; festering in the | very infection of her crime, brought about by her unmanly, merciless and inhuman seducer. It is impossible to depict the turpitude of the seducer. We know of no characier so vile, so detestable. He is the vilest of robbers, for he plunders happiness ; the worst of murder. | ers, for he murders innocence ; bis appetites are of the brute, his arts of the demon; the heart of the child, and the corse of the parent are the foundation of the altar which he rears to a lust, whose fires are the fires of hell, and whose incense is the agony of virtue ! We have made this painful exposure, froma sense of duty, not only to the public press, but to the conmmunity whose virtuous sentiments have been outraged by the commission of the crime. ‘The citizens had no knowledge of it until it had transpired. But they do not intend that such infamous conduct shall escape their severest censure ; and they desire that the per- petrator shall be held up to the public gaze, in the lurid glare of his detestable vice. Let this be a warning to all, not to admit in- . . . | to their society, or to countenance a strolling vagabond, who exhibits no passport, except that of a professional black-leg and delauchee. We wish the papers of Lynchburg, Rich- mond, Danville, and every where else in Vir- ginia, N. Carolina and Tennessee, to insert this notice in their columns. ( The late Judge Pease of the Supreme Court of the State of Ohio, was a noted wag. | A young lawyer was once making his first ef: | forts before eim, and bad thrown himself on the | wings of his imagination into the seventh heav- en, and was seemingly preparing fur a higher ascent, when the Judge struck his ruler on the | desk two or three times, exclaim ig to the as- tonished orator, “ Hold on—hold on, my dear sir! Don’t go any higher, for you ace already vut of the jurisdiction cf this Court.” More Shooting.—The Helena (Ark.) Journal says that a Dr. Temple, formerly of that place, shot a young man named McGuire at Delta, Miss., for the seduction of his daughter, a young lady of fifteen, a short time since. McGuire's breast was pierced by two balls from a double-barrel- led gun. After being shot he presented a pistol at Temple, but it missed fire. FLOUR AND WHEAT. The news brought by the “Great Brit- ain” has caused a decided improvement in the Flour and Grain markets. At New York the price of flour had advanced from | 40 to 50 cents per barrel, and wheat 12} | per bushel. 7 cents on wheat. Corn has also slightly advanced. At Baltimore the receipts of wheat are light, and not equal to the de- mand.— Nat.

The » very fact that American industry was en- _ gaged in the production of an article would be, in their view, a sufficicnt reason to tee. move all duties from such articles. Othe. ers of the party, the followers of Benton, Buchanan, and Silas Wright, are seeking: to make a compremise of the free trade and the protective principle. They talk of incidental protection. They would ley duties for revenue ; but they would so lay them as to let them operate for protection.

Obituary. DepartTep this life, on Saturday, October 18th, 1845, at his family residence in Cabarrus county, N. C., Mr. JOHN PHIFER, in the 69th year of his age. In the death of this venerable citizen, the country, the church, and an extensive circle of friends and family connections, have sustained a loss of no ordinary charac- ter. Mr. Pairer was truly and practically, rather than ostensibly, a great and good man. Having been gifted with a strong and well ballanced mind, which had been highly cultivated ; he was a close observer of all passing events, a cautious but accurate reasoner on all subjects, patient and persevering in tracing the connection be- tween effects and their causes, and remarkably correct in the judgments which he formed, as well as judicious in the opinions which he expressed. As a patriot and politician, he had long possessed, in | a high degree, the confidence of his fellow citizens, | whom he had several tines represented in the State Legislature. But being naturally assuming and retiring in his disposition, he neither desired nor sought either public offices or conspicious stations. He preferred to be useful to his generation in a noiseless and private | way. But it was in his christian character that this excellent man shone the brightest. For if we may judge by his fruits, Mr. Parrer was a christian, not merely in profes- | sion, but emphatically in principle and in practice. In enrly life whilest a student at the University he became an admirer of Paine’s Age of Reason, and was beginn- ing to be infected with its poison But of this leaven of infidelity he was soon entirely cured by a careful perusal | at the instance of a fellow student) of Bishop Watson's apology for the Bible which he ever considered and often recommended as a most masterly and unanswerable ar- gument. He afterwards carefully studied the Holy Scrip- tures which not only convinced him of his polluted, con- demned and helpless state by nature, but led him to re- nounce all other grounds of hope, and to embrace God’s method of saving sinners by the mediatorial suffering of the Lord Jesus Christ. His own language was “I have | no other grounds of hope than the merits of my Saviour.” His study of the Scriptures, moreover, led him cordially to embrace, not only the doctrines, but the order and polity of the Gospel as set forth in the Standards of the Presbyterian Church, of which he had been for many years a consistent member and an active and efficient | Ruling Elder. Although he was a decided Presbyterian in prin®ple, he indulged nothing of the spirit of bigotry: | Wherever he saw the image of Christ he unhesitatingly embraced it. His principles of action and maxims of life were drawn, not from mere theory or party connec- tion, or denominational distinctions, but from the pre- cepts of divine revelation, and the example of his Savi- our. And guided by these he exemplified the character of a truly good man, in many of its most lovely features, not only in his habitual maintenance of family religion and punctual attendance upon the ministrations of the Sanctuary, but in all the every day private and public walks and transactions of life. @At an early period of the Temperance reformation he abandoned the use of al] intoxicating drinks and became a zealous, constant and untiring advocate of that cause. He was the acknowledged apostle of Temperance where- ever he was known. He gave his whole heart and all his influence to the work nor will it be told until the re- cords of eternity shall be brought to light, the amoant of | good which he accomplished by his numeroas, and often | eloquent Temperance addresses, and his almost every day private talks and personal appeals on the subject. Mr. Parrer was especially attentive to the poor and needy, the widow, the orphan and the afflicted. Such persons in his vicinity have lost their best friend. Rare- | ly indeed was there a case of affliction or distressing | poverty within his reach that did not share largely and | freely in his sympathy and charity. His benevolent feel- | ings too, extended to all his race. He was peculiarly | sensitive to the sufferings of mankind as occasioned not | cnly by intemperance but by wars and pestilence and | famines and the numerous casualties of life as well as verses of fortune. |" In all his dealings he adhered rigidly to the claims of justice and equity. He was quite as unwilling to receive | a& to give over value for an article. He was particular- | ly and heartily opposed to every form of extortion and oppression. liarly odious to him. — | usury and as a gross vio | Bible | This man of God was scrupulous in all things—in lit- | tle as well as great things.

For some hours before | his decease he was unable to speak. But it is believed | that his senses remained with him to the last. For, as the end drew near, he was observed unequivocally to | straighten his body and fold his arms and close his lips in preperation for the loneliness and silence of the grave. “ And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, | Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from hence- , forth, Yea, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their (Communicated.

RE SA ee * From the Macon Republican. FHE RESURRECTION OF PHILL THURMOND. “The lowest Judicial Tribunal in Geor- | fia is the Justice’s Court. Limited in its risdictfon to sums under thirty dollars, | jt'is enacted by law that the parties Jiti- | gant have the power toestablish their de- | mands and effects by their own oaths.— The policy of this infringement of the rules of evidence is very questionable, as it gives the dishonest and unscrupulous a_ decided advantage over the upright and | Conscientious, in settling those minor con- | troversies that invariably grow out of the | transactions of men. About thirty-five or forty years ago, thére lived in the middle part of Georgia an individual who was famous for avail- ing himself of the aforesaid statutory pro- | vision... No man could be fonder of small | law-suits than Jolin Ramsey. A little ex- perience in early life had prejudiced him | greatly against the higher Courts (where | he found the consciences of witnesses not | so pliant as his own)—so much so he de- termined so to deal and be deult by, that | all disputes with his neighbors and world | generally should, to use his own express- ion, ‘be ‘connisant’ (cognizable) in. the Justice’s Courts. There he could proceed | without the expense of counsel, and be al- ways provided with legal evidence. ohn became soeminently successful in his own cases that he regularly attended uire “Jo Durham's” Court of the €55th District of Georgia Militia, and carried on there a kind of steam-law-practice to some profit. It-was curious to witness his pro- | secution or defence of suits. If he could | hot convince Judge Durham by quota- | ng#frem Claytoi’s “Georgia Justice,” bee’s Digest,” or the 7th vol. of “ Es- (which Jatter authority he al- | “Ways left at home.) he would deliberate- | @a swear atthe case himself, and, he marksmen say, “knock out the. black.” He became quite a terror to the | young limbs of the law whose fate brought | Ahem in contact with his—so much so, | that they bad rather have met as oppo- | counse] Chiel-Justice Marshall, then ink bis jadicial prime. *. John was always on the Icuk-out for a It) asan invariable practice of his, when | wot his neighbors died, to exlibit to the | secutor or adsninistrator of the estate an | eeount just under thirty dollars, and de- | thd payment, upon the refusal of which | Was brought as soon as the law per- | ed,find the money recovered as cer-| he-court was holden. | 1 ed John, successfully squabling with the living and robbing the dead, un- il; Phill Thurmond, about the time of anc oh gy! ot x hich we write, moved into his neighbor- Ood.and settled in half a mile of him.— No man, woman or child ever lived in that part of the State without personally , Kiiowing or hearing Phill, His facetious. | ness and love of fun were proverbial.— | And although he has long since been ga- | ered to his fathers, and there has been no biography of him, yet he still lives in the. legendary stories of the country in whieh he resided, to all intents and pur- poses as if'a Washington Irving had chro- | nicled his deeds. One, unacquainted wiih Phill would on Sight mistake him for a plain, home- wa-clad clergyman. At the date of the trance to-which we are aboat to al- | lade, he was fifty years of age, though | his appearance would not indicate more than thirty-five. He was of common size | witha dibiting a-remarkably clear light com- Pplexion, with»small blue eyes. Hiscoun- #enance, upon the whole, was prepossess- « ist of ex ion.

He be- came exceedingly friendly and intimate with him—and Ramsey his friend as firm- | ly as it was possible for the latter to be. | While this neighborly feeling was at the highest, Phill, just at the close of a long where Ramsey knew he had been, and to die one night, after intimating to his family what he intended, and instracting | them in their performance of the so- Accordingly, a shroud was | the negroes was dispatched in great haste to inform Ramsey of the mournful event, and request his immediate attendance. | Nothwithstanding Jobn’s many faults, he | _was a kind neighbor, and particularly so to Phill’s family. Over he came as soon | _as he possibly could, at the hour of mid- night. With tears streaming down his cheeks, he entered the apartment where lay the corpse of his friend, beside which sat the disconsolate widow with her face buried in her kerchief to conceal her emo- tions. “ How are you, Mrs. Thurmond 2” sob- bed John. | All she could do was to conceal her face more completely, and extend to him her bhand—which act and silence John mis- took for unaffected grief. | “ Poor soul !” said John, “ how suddenly he left us! How slender the brittle thread | of life! In the midst of life we are in death, the good book says. Let me see once more, and for the last time, the face of my best friend.” Mrs. Thurmond removed the folds of | the shroud, when John gazed through his crocodile tears upon Phill’s face. Had_ he not been attempting to sorrow too much on the occasion, must have seen that the features before him belonged to any one but a dead man. Phill perform- | ed his part, with the aid of a white napkin | around his jaws. as well as a man of his | appearance could possibly have done ; his | features were as immovable as if they had been carved in marble. “Oh! oh!” cried John, as if the sight before him gave a new impetus to his grief, * how I shall miss him as a friend! how we shall all miss him! He was a triend to every body, and the worst enemy to himself. Ile owed me just twenty- nine dollars eighty seven anda half cents: but 7 | “ That’sa lie, Ramsey !” said the corpse, | and at that moment the only candle in the | room was extingnished,. | Mrs. Thurmond shrieked; John stood back aghast, the perfect personification | ofterrorandalarm. His guilty soultrem- | bled at what he heard; he believed ita solemn rebuke from the lips of the dead, But what was hisdismay when suddenly | up rose the corpse and made towards him! With the wildest energy fear ever inspir- ed. he rushed out of doors and ran for | him! The race down Thurmond’s lane | was run without any jockeying on John’s side ; for if he had any thoughts on the subject at all, he considered it his last | race. About half way the lane (and it extended nearly to Ramsey’s house) John | received a blow of no ordinary violence | upon his naked head, for in his hurry he. had left his hat; soon after another, and then another, and then a fourth, fifth sixth, Lither of the John, but for his supernatural efforts.— | Near his own house, Phill left him, and whilst waiting to get a little breath, heard Johnrush violently against the door, break- king it open and falling midway in the | room, to the consternation and surprise of his family. What account John gave of the night's adventure to his wife and children was, never known, as they observed a dogged silence on the subject, and soon after lett the neighborhood. Some few days afler the resurrection, the parties met. Phill, with the most se- rious countenance the human face ever assumed, expressed himself to be under. lasting obligations to John, for that in fact | and in truth he was dead, but that John’s | attempt to swindle his widow had brought | him to life; and that he had always said | that such rascality would make him “ bile” | Solemnly it was delibe | his life a deliberate attempt on is life ; that it was Phill’s intention to | kill him with fear or the stick, or both. and | that if such things were only ‘ connisant’ in Squire Jo Durham’s Court, he would make him smoke for it. Whither John went no one knew ex- actly. But after Georgia had enacted a law y mnich prevented Indians or their de- scendants from ifyin ainst i persons, and had eee rh over the Cherokee nation,, that if John was dead he fe and-‘move amongst the Id have sach a fine ct | | ed.by..a certain class of the com nanity, Baltimore t : was not amongst ie made by the gentle Sl. & The next discovery ; : that bis pocket-book, containing $40 Ia’ mo and some valuable papers, was gone, ~ The fact of the person who bad been : the mysterious lady baving left the cars exci- ted on the part of the Joser of the funds. He kept the secret to himself, but on seaching York, perceiving that the said pretty: little French girl, or woman, took her passage back for Baltimore in the return train, he did the same, and on reaching Baltimore gave such in- furmation to the police as to cause them to ar- rest her, with a view more especially to ascer- tain the whereabouts of her apparent husband. On examining her trunk it was found to con- | tain much valuable clothing, jewelry, &c. and | a private investigation disclosed that sbe had | around her body, in a belt, $1000 in gold. No | evidence appearing against her, she was re- leased ; but, fur some reason not stated she | was again arrested and committed to prison.— She gave her name as Amelia Switzer, but has | an alias—Klutz, which is the name of her al- leged husband, who thus far has evaded detec- | tion. A trunk, known to have been in charge of this man [who is a Frenchman) having been seized, it was found to contain nearly a bushel | of letters, running back in dates for several | years. These letters are mostly written. in French ; some, however, are in Hebrew, Span- ish, Italian, German, and other languages.— They proved, on examination, to be a corres- pondence with celebrated thieves in all the principal cities of Europe and America, giving detailed accounts of extensive robberies, the best mode of eluding detection, &c. Some of them, it is said, mention the fact ofa large rob- bery having been perpetrated in Paris some years ago, and also narrate the manner in which papers containing accounts of it, sent to New York to be published in a French paper there, had been suppressed by the parties con- cerned. Inthe trunk, which the woman un- der arrest would not claim, and denied all know- ledge of its ownership, was also found $1,000 | in American gold, besides a miniature likeness of Cardinal Richclieu, set in gow, and a hand. somely-constructed seal stamp of “ raw head and bloody bones.” The money has been de- posited in bank, and the letiers given to the French Consul in Baltimore for his inspection, When perused, we doubt not they will give some astounding intelligence, and probably di- | vulge the secrets of one of the most extensive | band of robbers ever heard of-— Baltimore Pa- triol. The Bible in France.—The Paris cor- | respondent of the Edinburgh Weekly Re- | gister gives the following account of the difficulty he experienced in obtaining the loan of a Bible. “IT happened, during the week, to have | need of a Bible in the French language. to compare certain chapters with the Eng- | lish version. I asked a friend who resides in the same house if he had a copy? ‘No indeed, he hadn’t. The proprietor of the honse— Oh, you're joking! * Really havn't got such a thing, never had, and didn’t know anybody who had.’ ‘The por- ter and his wife—* Monsieur wanted a Bible ; what was a Bible ?’—An acquaint- ance inthe next street— Never, saw a) Bible in his life A’ circulating library | keeper— Ha! ha! if Monsieur wanted a novel of Paul de Kock, @ la bonne heure ; but as to a Bible, it was absurd.’ Friends | -and acquaintances, and friends’ friends, | were called upon one after the other for , the desired Bibfe ; but each and all gave | the same answer—that they had no Bible, never had a Bible, and didn’t know where | a Bible was to be found, unless in some odd corner of the library of Monseigneur the Archbishop. All the circulating libra- | |ries in my neighborhood were scoured, but without success—no Bible was to be had. I sent to several booksellers’ shops to buy a copy; not one was to be had for the moment, though it could be obtained ina day or two. At last 1 went to the Bibliotheque Royale, the great public, I may say national library of France, and there, afler some little difficulty, succeed- ed in procuring the object of my search. I made no comments on this case. Every one of your readers will form his own o- pinion of the difficulty of obtaining a copy of the Word of God in a Christian coun- try, and will compare that difficulty with | the state of things in old Scotland.” The Library of the late Rev. Dr. Mil- _nor is to be sold at auction in the city of New York. There are rare and ancient works in the collection: “ Attersoll’s Commentary upon the Book of Numbers,” is of the date 1618. “ The New Covenant, or a Treatise of the Sac- raments, by Attersoll,” is of a still earlier date—1614; there are many others pub- lished at the same period. Of 1612, there | is a volume entitled “Certain Sermons. Preached and Penned by Richard Rogers, | preacher of Wetherfield, in Essex; also | divers godly and learned sermons of Mr. | Sam. Wright.” “Some Helps to Stirre | up to Christian Duties of H. Whitfield,” is | of the date of 1636. “The Valley of Vi- sion, or Clear Sight of Sunday’ Sacred | Truths, by R. Holsworth,” is dated 1651. | “ The Unsearchable Riches of Christ; or | Meat for Strong Men and Milk for Babes, | by Thomas Burkes,” is the title of a book published in 1661. True as Preaching.—Our own experience attests to the correctness of the following extract, from a late po- litical writer : Those who have had much experience in politics, or with the political press, have lived to little purpose if they have not discovered that the men who, in the ordinary course of things, should be most prompt to recognize bi ie ' again is found not to be firm. ¢ | ed and sold, to satisfy the plaintitf’s claim.

I am not a practical farmer myself, but my extensive travels through this State, have thrown me within the reach of many a good experience on this subject. Most of the N. C. farmers fatten their hogs upon corn. Corn of itself, in a raw state, has been discovered to produce costiveness and fever, after the animal has fed on that alone a few weeks. To avoid these bad effects, some have let their hogs run at large or in extensive pastures, This helps young hogs to grow, Others have the to get green roots, &c. while they increase but little in fat. mal is subject to disease, as above described. Some boil their corn ; then the hog is thrifty, but the flesh is not as solid. Some add potatves ; the fat in this case | such as desire to take by the year a cheap paper frou the | An experienced farmer | in the price of it where a number of copies are ordered and | informs me, that he has, for many years, raised a great | paid for by any one person or association at the following quantity of pumpkins, and fed his hogs alternately on | "8: corn and pumkins, and never fails to have the first quali- | ty of meat when he kills his hogs.

From the Greensboro’ Patriot. A VENERABLE SCRAP. “ The mutilated document copied below, found among the old papers of a gentleman of a neighboring county, was perhaps the earliest declaration of the American Colonial Cougress of ‘ the causes and necessity of taking up arms.’ Dated a year before the Declaration of Inde- pendence, it is a noble sample of the times. Not being embodied in any of our popular histories of the Revolu- entire, might, by giving itspace,do their countrymen a service, and gratify their patriotic pride. The fragment in our hands is printed on a stip by itself, unconnected with the new=paper, from its shape, in its torn condition, we judge we have about three-fourths of the document.” The document which accompanies the above paragraph in the Patriot, says the National In- telligencer of the 30th ult., is signed by Joun Hancock, President, attested by CHarLes Tuomson, Secretary, and dated Philadelphia, July 6,1775. It is entitled, “A Declaration ‘ by the Representatives of the United Colonies ‘of North America, now met in General Con- ‘gress at Philadelphia, setting forth the causes ‘and necessity of their taking up arms.” As the Editor of the Patriot appears to be uunaware of the origin and occasion of this an- cient document, it may be acceptable to him, and perhaps to others to learn something of its history. ‘This Declaration of July, 1775, was the most important and one of the best known public papers of iis time. It isto be found in 'many collections of Revolutionary documents, in one of which it now lies before us in exten- so, belonging to the valuable antiquarian libra- ry of our friend and neighbor P. Force, Esq., to whom we are indebted fur some historical notes connected with the paper in question, our readers in relation to some important inci- dents of that heroic age. On the 15th of June, 1775, the Continental Congress “ Resolved that a General be appoint- ‘ed to command all the Continental forces rais- ‘ed or to be raised for the defence of American ‘liberty. General Wasiineron was ap- pointed the same day, and received his commis- sion of General and Commander-in-chief on the 17th. He left Philadelphia on the 21st of June ; arrived at Cambridge, Massachusetts, and as- sumed the command there en the 3d of July, which date his first General Order bears. The | Provincial army, previously under the command of General Warp, before Boston, now became the Continental army. It was in justification of this that the Congrcss published the Declar- ation now brought to notice by the Greensbor- ough Patriot. On the 23d of June a comnnittce of five mem- bers of the Congress (Mr. J. Rutitepex, Mr. W. Livinestox, Mr. Franxurx, Mr. Jay, and Mr. Jonnson) was appointed “to draw up 'a Declaration to be published by General WasuincTon on his arrival at the camp before Boston.” The committee the next day report- ed a Declaration, “ which was read and deba- ted, and after some time referred for further con- sideration till Monday next,” the 26th, when it was again considered, and, after some debate, recommitted ; and Mr. Drcxrnson and Mr. Jerrerson were added to the committee.

It estab- | lished the facts, that upon the first publi- hostility had been evinced against him, Mr. Clay had fortified his office with can- non, musketry, &c.; that slaves had been in the habit of reading the paper, and of looking to Mr. Clay as their “ deliver- er; that they had frequently assembled in squads, singing incendiary songs and places they had formed military compa- nies and provided weapons; that they had marched past the Mayor’s office and through the streets with threatening ges- tures ; and that the general effect of the the way for and provoke a general insur- rection.

" That wish is in part realized by a publication Wednesday last, an extract from which is here- to subjoined, and which deserves all the atten- tion of the reader, (supposing it to be well- grounded,) and especially that passage of it which we have italicised. Can it be true that this Government has been interfering in the affairs of Hayti? By what right, or upon what principle of repablican policy, can it interfere in the affairs of any other people. In what case, under any Administration preceding the last, has it ever done so? Has it not, on the con- trary, expressly disclaimed any pretention to such a right, and uniformly reprobated it when exercised by other nations ? But to the extract, as follows : | Correspondence of the Commercial Advertiser. W asHINnGTon, Ocroner, 27, 1845. | The other feature of the Haytien business is | the policy of European Governments, shouid | the Dominicans be successful in overrunning | the negro republic, and bringing the whole | island again under the dominion of the white and mulatto races—for [ take it, notwithstand- ing all assertions to the contrary, that much the larger portion of the population of the Spanish part must consist of mulattoes. It is said that |the French have been very active in stirring up the rebellion against the republican Govern. ment, in the hope that the island would again | become a dependency of their monarchy. And this is probably very true. Certain it is, our Envoy did find a Frenchman among the Domin- icans,a Monsieur Villeneuve, I think, doing his possible inthe name of the French Government | to organize and discipline them for the contest | against the Haytiens. It is well known that in colonial diplomacy and wars the French are | of no account at all; so that whatever may be | the wishes and intentions of our Government | in respect to this island, there is not the least | cause of jealousy on its part as to the effurts of ] | France or its agents in this struggle. Well, when Mr. Hogan left St. Domingo in | July, the Dominicanarmy was nicely organized, | composed (if I have correctly retained the in- | formation, received “long time ago”) of thir- | teen thuvsand men, having several French Offi- | cers and some beautiful pieces of old Spanish artillery, with the great additional advantage of being accompanied along the coast by three or four small armed vessels, American built. As was expected, a battle was fought in Sep- tember, in which the Dominicans were victori- ous. This affair has undoubtedly been very much exaggerated. ‘The Haytiens were taken in condition, the European advisers, and the field-pieces of their adversaries—were a little | cut up, and took to their heels, like sensible men, and as our own men very frequently did in the beginning of the Revolutionary war. It was consequently a very unimportant skirmish. The Haytiens immediately began concentrating their | to cope with the Dominican navy, and it is not unlikely that ere this the tide of war has turned The issue of the struggle is If the white Dominicans ex- pectto suldue the whole negro population of this delightful island and reduce it to a state of servi- tude, or to any degree of civil and political infe- riority, they must be miserably disappointed.— They are but a handful compared to the blacks of the old French division, who numbered in 1842 nearly 700,000 souls. The attempt is which legions of French soldiers and some great French generals perished in the beginning of the century. I am anenemy to all abolitionism out of slave countries, because I think slaveholding commu. nities ought to be left to apply their own reme- dies to their own grievances, unless indeed they ask for sympathy and assistance from beyond their own limits; and because, also, I think that, as it generally exists in the United States, the re- lation of master and slave is not unjust, unnatur- al, or improper, because of the vast disparity in the moral nature and the intellectual endow- ments of the two races.

Upon the announce- ment of this result, the crier made proc- lamation and declared Hezekiah Turner of Rowan, until the next regular election hy the people. Mr. John Fraley, one of the Magistrates, then arose, and proposed the election of a County Trustee! We have had no such officer in this county: The Sheriff has, heretofore, been the keeper of the public money. Mr. Fraley expressed his full conviction that we ought to have a Coun- ty Trustee. Heigh! oh! thought we, what new light has burst upon that old gentleman’s vision, for it was evident a change had come overhim. Ah! he con- fesses it: He stated that he had opposed the same measure some two years and a half ago, when it was proposed by Mr. D. A. Davis, we believe; and that he would probably do it again, under the same circumstances. This, we think, needs some explanation, for we are utterly at a loss to know, what c7rcumstances then ex- isting could have been so important as to refuse to the county that most safe and useful officer. But Mr. Fraley was not the only gen- tleman who then opposed the measure.— We recollect the transactions of that day very well: There was an organisd oppo- sition to it, and what struck us as a little singular, all the speech-making opposition, was by the Locofoco members, headed by _Piney-woods John Shaver, Mr. John Fra- | ley, and Hon. Charles Fisher, the prospec- | tive Locofoco candidate for Governor, of | the good old, honest State of North Caro- lina. Piney-woods John made a speech on 'that memorable occasion—we can see 'John at ittothisday. But we won't trou- | ble the world with John’s speech just now | —it may come in better at another time. | So too, did Mr. Fisher make a speech in | opposition to the measure, to which Mr. Davis replied, Mr. F. rejoined ; and after several rejoiners from each, it was evi- |dent Mr. D. had the best of the argument, —but the County got no Trustee. Well, things have changed—a County Trustee has been appointed in the person his head a little forward so as to catch every word. We fancied-we could per- ceive the inward workings. John was , anxious—he was in a quandary—some- | what like we imagine a soldier would be | in a conflict without a leader and not know- |ing whether to run or stand. The ques- tion was put and passed, and John sprang | to his feet—now we'll have it !—no— | John didn’t anderstand the question fully, he only wanted information. The truth | is. his brother Magistrates were so plaguey | disorderly, no one could hear distinctly | what was said by the Chairman, and oth- /ers speaking on the subject—’twasn’t his fault he didn’t understand. Well, the 'Chairman again stated the proposition, heard a groan from his corner—no doubt he remembcred that speech, and he knows it won't do for politicians to be inconsist- ent. That Meeting.—The great press of business in Court on Thursday, excluded the possibility are not called so suddenly away as this young man, you | | of holding the meeting announced last week, for the purpose of taking into consideration the subject of treating befure elections. Suffice it | to say that the proposition is not abandoned, but will be attended to at some more convenient season, and probably with better success.

LAKE SUPERIOR COPPER REGION. Although there has never before been so ‘guch attention directed to the mineral riches of be country bordering upon Lake Superior as pw, there has been very little recently added » our information on the subject. Mr. School- qafi’s works are storchouses of knowledge in | wgard to all that region, and his statements are generally as minute as they are accurate. The arly Roman Catholic missionaries likewise at- ended to the resources of the country as well | fom the journal of Father Claude Allouez, a | French priest, who resided among the sources the Mississippi and the St. Lawrence in| 666 ard 1667, shows that the mineral charac. | wr of that country was known at that early pe- | ted. It possesses peculiar interest now, from | the fact that so many are engaged in develop. | ing the resources to which it refers: | “The shape of Lake Superior is nearly that | ofan arc of a circle, the southern shore being | uch curved, and the northern almost a straight fae, dt affords abundance of fish of an exce!- lent qnality, and the water is soclear and trans. | mt that objects may be discerned at the | depth of six fathoms.

In virtue of this authority, prof. Johnson, of Philadelphia, commenced an investigation, on which he has long been zealously engaged. The result of his la- bors is communicated in a large volumn, ordered to be printed for the use of the Senate. This Volumn is in a large octa- vo, and contains upwards of six hundred pages of closely-printed matter. It would therefore be quite impossible to make a faithful abstract of its whole contents, but it is confidently hoped that the following extracts, given some account of the man- nef in which the experiments were con- ducted, and detailing a portion of the ul- timate results, will form a valuable and acceptable paper. “ The experiments have been conducted by Prof. Johnson with the greatest skill and care. To his qualifications as an ex- perimenter he has added the knowledge | of mathematical philosophy : and the few mathematical notes which occur in his re- port appear quite satisfactory, and add to the reader’s confidence in his calculations. | His report is, beyond doubt, one of the | | most valuable contributions which have | been made in modern times to practical | science.” (7 An Attempt to Force a Man to read a Newspaper.—A curious case bas occurred in Mississippi. The Vicksburg Sentinel is an ul- | tra Democratic paper; but from its course in censuring the conduct of the Hon. Mr. Walker in withholding the commission of a gentleman | appointed by the Governor to succeed bim in the U. S. Senate last winter, together with some other matters of difference with the chief executive officer, the Sentinel incurred his very | great displeasure, in so much as to cause him to discontinue his subrcription to that paper.— Some very kind Democrats, apprehending that the Governor had thus cut himself off from a valuable source of information, subscribed to the Sentinel fur him, paid for it, and ordered it to be sent to him. But his Excellency was not to be forced to read a paper in that way—he returned it unread to the office, with a promp- titude indicative of decided indignation. In what | form it may be next attempted to administer the Sentinel to his Excellency, we cannot say. Do Mr. Walsh says that the Americans as a nation with a republican polity, are the favorite game of the London Times; and yell what it may be about them, it calculates, with too much reason, on num- berless gulls among its prejudiced readers at home. Although the London Morning Herald could not venture to go shares with the ‘Times in the marvellous tale of the slavetrade equipment of the Missouri, it has not hesitated to improve, to the same end, other topics, in an article of the , 27th ult., and which begins in these terms: “The latest accounts from the United States illustrate, as happily as we could desire, our remarks upon the certain dis- ruption of the colossal Republic,” &c. The Sea Serpent.—The New York corres- _pondent of the Cincinnati Gazette makes the following statement concerning the bones re- cently and exhibiting in New York as those of Sea Sepent: “I suppose there is little doubt but that it is | a piece of trickery on a magnilicent scale. A short time since Dr. Wyman, of Boston, Pro- fessor of Comparative Anatomy, was convers- ing with Dr. Lyett, the Geologist, about it, when they both agreed it was a deception, but concluded to say nothing about it till they could examine it, as Dr. Kocn’s character was above reproach. * But here, a few days ago, Dr. Wyman, who | was on his way to Virginia, stopped to sce it. He immediately pronounced ita deception. The back bone, he said, is composed of a vertebra of sevoral whales, carefully fitted to each other while the claws are made of certain species of the nautilus. Dr. Wyman is a thorough anat- omist, having spent several years in the best surgical schools of Europe, and hence detect- ed the character of the skeleton before him at | a glance.” | A Worp For THE Poor Seamstress.—We see in one | of our exchanges a calculation of the number of stiches | in a single shirt. The number is 20,628. Yet for all | this labor the poor seamstress earns less than is thrown | to a lackey for a compliment. A large number of poor | and worthy females in our community are wholly depen- | dant upon this branch of labor for support ; and yet the | patient industry of twenty hours out of the twenty-four will scarce afford the necessaries of life.

The Democratie major- ity in both Houses numbers only three votes.— Nat. Int. The Clay Statue—Its Erection beyond a | Doubt.—We have before intimated that | | the efforts, on the part of the ladies of Vir- | ginia, to erect a statue in honor of Mr. | Clay would probably prove successful.— It affords us infinite satisfaction now to say, that the matter has been placed be- yond even the shadow of a doubt. | Statue, therefore, will be erected ; for we have had it from high authority, that suf- | ficient funds are all ready in hand, to war- rant the Committee in making application to an American Artist, who is, perhaps, to execute the work. This will doubtless be a piece of intelli- gence highly gratifying to Mr. Clay’s friends ; while it will also be much to the chagrin of his enemies. We were just in the act of announcing this most agreeable fact, when a gentle- man from Giles, handed us a remittance from Mrs. Adeline Snidow of that county and which we have handed over to the Treasurer of the State fund. The ladies of Virginia, for their efforts and perseverance in this matter, deserve | the thanks of the universal Whig party. | The Statue itself will be no less a monu- | ment to perpetuate their patriotisms, than it will be a new glory to the greatest Statesman of the age—and one too, that he has a heart to appreciate. While we have spoken thus confidently in regard to the erection of the statue, we would suggest that those who have funds in hand for it, ought to send them in at the earliest day. Nor should their efforts cease in endeavoring to add still more to the sums already in hand, for, whilst there is sufficient amount to carry out the ob- ject of erecting a statue, yet it may be | Well to have a surplus to meet contingen- cies. For instance, it may be desirable to purchase a handsome lot of ground, in some appropriate part of the Metropolis, upon which the statue can be erected. If this idea be adopted, the statue would. prove an ornament to the city, and might | well deserve the consideration of the Com- mon Council.

The United States transport steamboat Monmouth arrived at New Orleans on the 24th ultimo from Aransas Bay, which she left on the 16th. The army at Corpus Christi was in good health, except that a few cases of dysentery had occurred. From Vera Cruz.—Accounts from Vera Cruz via Havana tothe 11th October have been received in New Orleans. The Pi- cayune learns from conversation with the | passengers in the steamer that the opin- ion appears to be general that there will be no war; the Mexicans can raise no funds, the troops are not paid, and there is no prominent leader to rally around.

The Cotton Plani—Its History and Uses. bis.is the commencement of a very valua- le, being “A Memoir of the Origin, ation, and Uses of Cotton, from the earli- @st ages to the present time, by Whitemarsh Bi Seabrook, President of the State Agricul. tura} Society of South Carolina.” Mr. Sea- brook has collected together much most impor- papermation, and a vast amount of valuable vai cal facts with respect to the cultivation of great staple of the South. #°Werlearn from Mr. Seabrook that in 1792 @ growth of cotton in this country was un- own to Mr. Jay. The amount grown in that was indeed small, being only 138,328 lbs. iy years afierwards (1842) it amounted to 785,221,800 Ibs.!| Among the exports of Charleston, from November, 1747, to Novem. er 1748, are included seven bags of colton pool, Valued at £3 17s. 7d. per bag. In 1770 there were shipped to Liverpool three bales from e ork, four bales from Virginia and Mary- wad, and three barrels from North Carolina.— Io 1784 an American vessel that carried eight igs to Liverpool was seized on the ground that ich cotton could not be the produce of the Intted States. In 1785, 14 bags; in 1786, 6 } tn 1787, 109 bags; in 1788, 330 bags; . 9, 842 bags ; andin 1790, 81 bags were ved ia Europe from this country. ‘The first bag of cotton wool exported from Charleston to Liverpool arrived January 20, 1785. Sea is- land or Black seed cotton began to be raised in Gyr@rgia ‘in experimental quantities in 1786,— The native siaae of this ead is believed to be Persia. The first bag exported from Georgia was in 1788. The first attempt in South Car- olina to raise a crop of long cotton was made im 1788 by Mrs. Kinsey Burden, of Burden’s Island; St. Paul’s parish. Uses of the Magnetic Telegraph.—A correspondent of a New York paper sug- gests a valuable purpose that may be at- tained by the Magnetic Telegraph, thus: 4,“ There is one use to which the Mag- Aty tic Telegraph may be put on our At- atic coast that I have nowhere seen Htioned—it is in telling us of the ap- ach~ of northeast storms.

Why, with the stage driver himsel!—a stout. hearty fellow, who, seat- ed upon his box, with his hat worn jaunt- ly, had captivated the parson’s pretty daughter. It was not love at first sight, nor at second sight; but it was after see- ing him some time, and again pass her door, after she had repeatedly heard the sharp crack ofhis whip as he stimulated found herself violently—heels over head in love, as the Yankees would say. 1 pass | over the father’s stern rejection of the | stage-driver’s suit, the mother’s sneering jeers at his impudence in making love to her daughter, and her solemn injunctions to the latter to forget him forever—lI pre- fer coming at once to the point or issue of the affair. One morning the girl was, missed ; high and low they sought for her | but she was nowhere fo be found. The | next morning her parents received a let- | ter from atavern keeper near the White Sulphur, to the effect that their daughter, | in company with her lover, had got as far | as his house on their way to Ohio, to be | married, and that, knowing the family, he | had thought it his duty to detain the fair | runaway. It is sad news for the afflicted father; but feeling that the girl was de- termined to have the stage-driver for a husband, and no one but him, he sent on hisconsenttothe marriage. Atthe same time, however, he gave his daughter to understand that she must never darken his door again—she had laughed at his advice at which, finally, it was resolved unanimously, beautiful creature, according to alf*ac- | «that this people-move-en masse to the West,” counts, she was—fresh as the air amid her | and “that we take‘all of the Saints with us, to the extent of our ability, that is, our influence and property.” Committees were appointed for the sale of lands in the various settlements of Hancock county ; and captains of ¢ompanies, “to remove if the spring,” “to the niimber of twenty-five, were appointed.—St. Louis Repub., lican. The Indians and Washington.—A writer in the Rochester American gives an account of a recent Grand Council of the Confederate Iro- quois on the Tonawanda Reservation in Gene- see county. In the course of the narrative, he says: “ The profound regard and veneration which the Indian has ever retained towards the name /and memory of Washington, is most interesting evidence of his universally appreciated worth ; and the fact that the red men regard him not merely as one of the best, but as the very best man that ever has existed, or that ever will ex- ist, is beautifully illustrated in a singular cre- dence, which they maintain even to this day, viz: that Washington is the only white man his jaded nags to a faster pace, that she who has ever entered heaven, and is the only | one who will enter there till the end of the world.” 0“ Outrages of an extraordinary character | have recently been perpetrated in or near the | town of Greene, Chenango county, New York. The details would be incredible, but from re- spectable testimony. It seems that some time | since a female residing in the neighborhood was abducted, and has not since been heard of.— More recently, two women, one Mrs. Burdick, and another Mrs. Bolt, have been seized, car- | | ried away, and nearly mordered, because, as is supposed, they knew something of the parties | concerned in the first outrage. ‘Thus far, no traces of the offenders have been discovered.

Jesse Buel, a printer by profession, after being for ma- ny years a leading political editor at Al- bany, became the model farmer and teach- er of agriculture for an extensive region And we are happy to learn, from the following article, that Mr. Van Boren is now pursuing the same path prosperously.and happily. The following | is from the Albany Cultivator: | Visit to Lindenwald,We lately passed | a beautiful summer's day in the vicinity | of Kinderhook. Among other places of | interest,-we visited Lindenwald, the seat | of ex-President Van Buren. We found Mr. Van Buren at home, and | accompanied him in a walk over his farm. | When he entered on the occupancy of his | place. on his retirement from the Presi- | dency, it was much out of order ; the land having been rented for twenty years, and been under cultivation for the period of 160 years. Several of the buildings had become poor, the fences were old and of wild growth had taken possession of We beg | | ple, which we hope will be followed by |other farmers in the neighborhood who have land similarily situated. The potato crop is one of considerable consequence on his farm, as well as on others in the vicinity. Mr. Van Buren raises the variety called Cartars, produced from the ball a few years ago by the Sha- _kers. He considers these by far the most ‘profitable kind known. They yield well, and theirquality is thought equal to any. Mr. Van Buren assured us that all which could be raised would readily command fifty cents per bushel by the quantity in New York. All the crops appear to be well managed, are promising. Leached ashes were tried here last season with excellent success. Great benefithas also been found from plowing in clover. Mr. Van Buren keeps but little stock. a considerable object being the sale of hay. The management of the farm is under the immediate sanervision of Mr. Van Baren, who finds in it a salutary exercise for the faculties of the mind and body—such a siate asto be highly enjoyed.

THE OREGON QUESTION. The language of the Government paper on the subject of the Oregon, (says the Baltimore Amcrican,) is becoming more and more expli- cit and direct. It denies that there will be any connection between that question and our com- Further we written on this side of the water only. So far as is known, or there is any reason to believe the British Government is as yet wholly una vised of the matter. It stands merely in form of a suggestion, originating here, wl may possibly meet the views of the B mercial relations with Eagland. the Oregon will embody itself in posire law ; that our claim extends to the whole territory ; and the inference is plainly implied that an im- A Good Sign.—We have received’ the specimen number of a new paper which it is proposed to publish in Charleston 82 Carolina, under the title of « The Charlés=” ton Mirror.” In declaring its creed, 1 acknowledges itself to be in favor of a~ well-devised and skilfully-regulated sys-” tem of manufactures, believing it is eal will be had upon the indispensable basis of our ish pretentions. “ On this great subject,” iet us hear the Un- ion speak in its own words : “ Within the last three or four years, public sentiment has ripened fast. In the judgment of a vast majority of this nation, the time is rapid- ly approaching—or say, rather, has mow come —when clear right in relation to this territory should embody itself in positive law. For more than twenty years, the people of the U. States have seen what they regard as their indisputa- ble title to this immense Territory swamped in negotiation. It was to be expected from the wisdom and true policy of the British govern- ment, that this negotiation, so barren heretofore of good result, when entered upon with a newad- ministration, which, in its identity of opinion on this subject, is as one man, and which is sustain- edin that opinion by an overwhelming mass and mastery of public sentiment—tt was justly to be hoped of the wisdom of England, that the new negotiation, under such auspices, and in such hands, would, ere long, hegin at least to secure, instead of defeating, as in past years It has de- feated, the great ends of international justice. “ But, however this may be, whether the ne- gotiations succeed or fail, there can be mo doubt that the democratic Congress now about to as- semble will have a great duty to do in relation to fortunes of that section of the Union, * by opening new avenugs of advancement to, the vast numbers who now throng’ the public thoroughfares. seeking“in vain the” attainment of steady and iar 8 pation.” Extracts from Mr. Gregg’s & say on the subject of Manufactures in 3 Carolina are published in the Mirror— This gentleman, as many of our rea know, takes the ground that thee merce and trade of that State qrodid’a: once receive a new impulse, and © class of her inhabitants be benefited, 1: men of capital would engage in manoiae turing,— Connecticut ‘Courant. 9» ~ a a In the late Message of Gov.

FROM MEXICO. The late arrival at Pensacola of the steam-frigate Mississippi has put the New Orleans Picayune in possesion of files of newspapers from the city of Mexicoon the 12th of October. The Mississippi sailed from Vera Cruz on the 24 h. The whole country is at this time in a most unsettled state. A powerful party clamors for the overthrow of the pres- ent Administration. They ask not only for a change in the Cabinet, butthat Gen. Herrera himself should resign and retire to private life. DL Despatches from Mexico.—The pa- pers have spoken of the importance of de- spacihes for the Government brought by the steam frigate Mississippi, at Pensaco- la, whose news we give to-day from the New Orleans Picayune. These despatchs were sent olf from Pensacola in great haste. As te theirnature there have been various speculations, among them the tol- lowing which we take from the Philadel- phia North American of Saturday : at Important Rumor.—From Washing- ton we have a stirring rumor to the ef tect that two more of the near provinces of Mexico have applied tor admission into the Uuion. Despatches, it is said, have been received, communicating the fact to our Government of the combination of the powers of England and France to resist the * Republican encroachments.” By news from Pensacola, in «another col- umn, it will be seen that the steamer Mississippi had arrived there, having sail- ed from Vera Cruz at the same time with the Princeton, with despatches of such im- portance as to demand this duplicate con- veyance, and that they were immediately forwarded to Washington. This seems to give strength to the rumor. “A number of prominent naval officers have been ordered to repair to Washing- | ton forinstructions. It will be remember- ed that Mons. Guizot advised an interter- ence with the “encroaching policy” of our government, for the purpose of maintain- ing the balance of power. We give these reports as they reach us without com- ment. The Washington papers of this morning will undoubtedly give information | as to their truth or falsity.” The Elections.—Vhe returns for Members of the New York Legislature show that the Whigs have gained sixteen members in the House of Representatives and two in the Senate, while Enjoy eternal rest. * Bev. 10, 1845. —_—. tae is MARBISD tae ultimo, by Rev.

At- ,and the inalienable predilections which, i entirely among rural: scenes, and devoted ex- clusively tothe performance of the grateful duties inci- dent to country life, or occupied in the pursuit of its harmless sports—they pass their unobtrusive lives in the houses Of their ancestors, remote from the turmoil of the _world ; ‘taking little note of its agitations, and compara- - tively unknown. to the votaries of its more giddy plea- eres. _~ The real nobility of the land are they ; and, descend- _ ants of the oldest families in the realm, although their names Ste unheard amid the factious uproar of every day life; and.their quiet virtues are unheeded, as the more _ dazzling claims of syme successful politicians challenge Tam not now speaking of farmers, but the old the rural districts ; in short, to sum all in one word, which cannot be <transtated from the vernacular, The ‘Squire. In their-rankg, the representatives of the Swinfords, the ~-Mertons, Chetwynds, Sneyds, and hundreds of other families of equal honor and antiquity, are to be found, passing theirlives in unaspiring tranquility and. useful- aa. “If one does fee! at times inclined to regard with ten D the ‘supine obscurity of their existence, still is : ‘moderated when we consider that, if they posdeas HOt the brilliant talents of their progenitors, in the : field of the’ council, yet are they exempt from their vices, 8nd idtheir virtues, they are the sterling examples of : te thorough-bred Englishman should be ; the only terns of the frank heartiness, the unaflected ty andthe blotf generosity of our forefathers. © Iam not abont to hold the Squire up as $ That fau'tlese monster which the world ne’er saw ;” bd Ri, 72: as prejudices, if not to love him for them. »-*Your.country equire_is by no means a learned man ; eho receive “the laws of poor rates and by-ways—he became enamor- ged of breeding hounds and raising monster oxen—and only occasionally exerted his powers of elocution at par- ish meetings, or the board of guardians, (which powers be possesses, as the farmers and peasantry will assure wen, in. an extraordinary degree.)

The gout we are in- formed, left the gentleman quite as uncer- emoniously as he had left the room. “George Grochanzy, a Polander. who had enlisted as a soldier in the service of the King of Prussia, deserted. A small he least expected it, they surprised him his good-humored bursts of ill-temper, who will ' take his petulant foibles in good part, well knowing the | sterling qualities of his nature. | He is a religious man, too, and insists upon his butler | reading prayers, morning and evening, in the servant's hall. All his domestics must attend church, in their pro- | per turns, every Sunday. It would do your heart good | to see the old fellow himself in church every Sabbath morning, taken there by the old bays in the older coach, with his wife and family. To see the greyheaded beadle walk before him down the middle aisle, to open his pew door ; to mark his stately step, (when gout is out of the question,) and his patronizing look ; while the eyes of the poor in the free seats sparkle as they follow his ad- squire ! look at him !—God bless him !” No common pew either is the squire’s, but railed with small brass rails, hung with green curtains ; with a smal! | stove in its centre, and a mat for his favorite dog Dash. Nor does he sit down upon entering it, as common peo- any common parson shake in his shoes. Bat h> does not sneer like some other critics ; because he is not the slave, not frightened at all, for he knows his way, Lord love | him! and proceeds fearlessly with his sermon, and the | sq:ire is well pleased in the end, though to confess the truth he knows nothing at all of the discourse. Then, when the service is almost completed, and the coachman creeps out on tip-toe, and in his anxiety to make no | Noise, attracts the attention of all the audience, who shall describe the air of protection and amiable pride with which the equire looks up at him? And when the parson concludes, with “ Now to God the Father,” &c., he alone rises up, and leans over his pew, while all the people keep their seats, and bend down their heads, until the benediction is pronounced. And if he does not feel happy that day, when all the poor people bow and curt- sey to him ; and if he does not fee! proud, when at din- ner he assures his wife, that widow so and so, and old so py? As his years increase, he betrays a weakness for pan- es, to chat with the inmates. He sometimes takes too | a long walking stick, with a “spud” inthe end, to cut trates all the powers of his mind, and all the energies of | his body, upon fattening stock for cattle-shows, and rais- ing prize turnips. He becomes more charitable to the poor, leaves off prosecuting poachers, and is more lax | with his tenants ; though ke never was hard with them, | never distrained for rent, nor kept a steward or bailiff to do such dirty work for him, while he winked at it in pre- tended ignorance. T have forgotien to say, though the reader must have nnderstood it all along, that the squire isa justice of the peace, one of the quorum, and the happiest day in each of the last twenty years of his life has been that on which thé Lord Lieutenant of the county has presided at the annual agricultural dinners ; shaken him heartily by the | hand, told him al! the goss:p of London, and proposed | his health with three times three, which was drunk in a | bumper, while the band played the “fine old English gentleman.” Such a riotous display of regard is always too much for the squire’s feelings, as he assures them, and | one who, like him, is unaccustomed to public speaking, feels overwhelmed, &e., &c. But the old man’s heart goes mad with pleasure, when he sees the Lord Lieuten- | ant Opeu the ball with his own beloved wife, who. though rather enbonpoint for perfect grace in dancing, is as mer- ry asthe younger people.

Some of his comrades were sent to see him; alter that he was visited by some officers of the corps, then by some priests; but still continued in the same state, without discovering the least sign of sensibility. Promises, entresties, and threatenings were equally ineffectual. The physicians who were of opinion that he was ina state of hopeless idiocy. It was first suspected that those appearan- ees were feigned ; but these suspicions ne- cessarily gave way, when it was known that he took no sustenance and that the | involuntary functions of natare were in a }vreat measure suspended.

He remained fixed and im- | and there, without taking cognizance of any object, and the muscles. of his face were fallen and tixed like those of a dead i body.

Charles Gustavus, king of Sweden, was | besieging Prague, when a boor of most extraordinary visage desired admittance | to his tent, and being allowed entrance, offered, by way of amusement to the king, to devour a whole hog of one hundred weight in his presence. The old general Koningsmarc, who stood by the king’s side. | and who, soldier as he was, had not got rid of the prejudices of his childhood, hint- ed to his royal master that the peasant ought to be burnt as a sorcerer. “ Sire,” said the fellow, irritated at the remark, “if your majesty will but make the old gentleman take off his sword and spurs. 1 will eat him immediately before | begin | the hog.” General Koningsmare; who, at | the head of a body of Swedes, had just | performed wonders against the Austrians, , and who was looked upon as one of the this proposal, especially as it was accom- panied by a most hideous expansion of | the peasant’s frightful jaws. Without ut- | tering & word, the veteran general turned | suddenly round, ran.out of the court, and | thought himself not safe until he:arrived at his quarters, where he remained twen- ty-four hours. loeked ap securely. before | he had got folly rid of the panic which had | so severely affected him. .

We take from the Boston Courier the fullow- ster at the great meeting in Faneuil Hall, Fri- day night, on the Oregon question : I think, gentlemen, that there can be no mis- take asto where we are. ‘This is Faneuil Hall —filled as it was wont to be in the time of our fathers—tilled as we have seen it in our own day—filled as we hope to see it by our child. ren, with men met together to consult upon the measures to be pursued for the benefit and to protect the best interest of our common country. He had not been willing to decline the invita- tion of the committee to address his fellow-cit- izens on this occasion. This was truly a crisis. | * * * * * One most prominent duty of the general gov- ernment was to manage the foreign relations | of the country, and the proper management of them was in a peculiar manner, of the utmost importance at the present moment. But there Was one subject of exciting interest now, of a nature so delicate and important to the peace and happiness of the country, that it was not easy to speak of it in a public assembly, and it | discretion. The preservation of peace on honorable terms was at all times an object in itself highly desirable, but between two countries intimate- ly connected, between two great commercial countries, peace should never be lightly nor causelessly disturbed. He would say a word or two on a subject which, within a few days, had created considerable alarm. He alluded to Oveyon. He asked, What is this question ? How does it stand? [ft was not necessary to of the different parties of claimants. It was boundaries had been in dispute for nearly forty years. There was now considerable alarm as to what measures one side or the other, the U. States or Great Britain might take, and as to the consequences which might ensue. The settlement of the claim to Oregon had always been and still was a matter to be settled by negotiation, By a convention between the two countrics there had been a joint occupancy, first tu 1818, then it was renewed forten years, and then again indefinitely, each party agree. ing to give notice to the other when the arrange- ment should cease, ‘That notice has never yet been given by either party, and the subject of the settlement is still open to both, according to | a treaty stipulation. Mr. Webster wished to | most care would be taken that he should not he misunderstood. He would say, what all knew, that this is a subject for negociation, for discussion, for amicable settlement—it always | bas been so. In this spirit, the government of | this country has several times, in 1818, 1824 and 1826 proposed a line of division for a com- promise, for discussion, &c. Mr. Webster alluded to the discussion which took place in the British Parliament, on the re- ception of President Polk’s message on this subject, the reports of which he had read with intense interest ; and be must say that the re. marks of the British minister on that occasion were such as were proper, and made in a tem- per becoming a large-minded, liberal statesman. giish minister on that occasion, who said that England had rights that ought to be and must be respected. He (Mr. Webster) would say that this country bad rights which ought to be, which should he, and which must be respected. He would not express an opinion as to the man- ner in which this could be settled, but he had curely to the rights of all parties. Mr, Webster alluded to the situation of the country of Oregon, which was three thousand miles from: the United States apd twice as ma- ay from England ; that inthe course of a few years, probably within the knowledge of many alladed to the excitement which had been kin. | died at the south, and regretted the cause of it ; that it should be considered and discussed in a | cool and calm manner. | He said that much of the speculation on this | subject was but the exhibition of great patriot- ism on a small scale, and that all such would tend to unsettle business, that threats and anti- cipations of war produced balfas much mischief | as war itself. What we wanttis a settled peace. All speculations having for their object the rup- | | ture of our peaceful relations were Jeading to | consequences which no man can control. He | would adopt the motto of a former President of | the United States, and ask fur nothing but what | is right, while he would submit to nothing that | was wrong, and he would not make any pir. | al parade of patriotism for the sake of ef. | ect. Another French View of Annexation.— | There is much sense in the following re- | marks of the Debats on this subject : | “ Notwithstanding all the noise made | on the other side of the Atlantic, the par- | lies there have not yet come to blows.— Nations, as well as individuals, have the quart-Cheure de-Rabelais. ‘The Mexican treasury isempty ; and this is perhaps for- tunate, for an empty purse will prevent her from committing follies. The dispro- portion between her force and that of the | American Union is too evident to leave — the issue of a contest between them in a | moment's doubt. A war between the two | Powers under such circumstances can end only in a dismemberment of the Mexican territory. The United States wait only) for an opportunity to annex California, as they have done with Texas; theretore they ask for nothing better than an ex- cuse to go to war, for they know they must come back with two additional pro- vinces instead of one. Mexico, therefore, | will be wise if she makes a virtue of ne- | cessity. This sacrifice, moreover, would not cost her too much. She has mourned | for the loss of Texas quite long enough, and she would, no doubt, have done much | better had she taken the good advice giv- | en to her, and have earlier acknowledged | the independence of the new Republic, in- | stead of waiting until it could no longer | be refused. The absorption of Texas in| the American Union is now an accom- plished fact. Mexico, which could not re- duce its province to subjection when it stood alone, can much less do so now that | it is sustained by the phalanxes of the U. States. Besides, has the Mexican Gov- | ernment any real wish to go to war?— This is very doubtful. All her cries, all her protestations, all her appeals to arms, may be nothing more than electioneering | maneuvers. The elections for the Presi- | dency were to take place at the begin- ning of August. Now, if the annexation of Texas was an excellent electoral watch- word for Tyler and Polk, why should not the conquest of Texas be an equally good | one in Mexico for General Herrera or General Almonte? This means of acting upon the people is equally used in both countries. Anarchy unbridled and de- mocracy unbounded are both signalized by the same excesses. On both sides the) couties of popular favour take the short- | est road to the passions—one addresses it- self without scruple to the ambition and | spirit of aggrandizement in a young Re- public, and the other to the puerile pride and vanity of an old race. We know not yet what have been the Mexican elec- lions, nor whether any new internal revo- | lution has afforded any diversion to the. bellicose demonstration of the Govern- | ment of the Republic; but, in any case, it Mexico really wishes to go to war, it is not necessary for her to make such vio- lent outcries, and much less if she does not entertain this desire.” New mode of collecting debts.—We see it stated, as a veracious fact,in a late New York paper, that a poor character, who had got tired dunning a customer for his pay, resorted to this novel mode of ma- king him fork over. He posted himself in front of his customer's door, witha large placard suspended from his neck, on which the following ey a - Car- , /evident that this could not be done. ly entitled, as well by law as by his hav- _all the principal places, show that in these “number required for an election by the _ators elected are all Whigs, and of the Representatives 160 are Whigs, 49 Loco- | ‘all the States; and the fourth instructs Governor who has received the majority of the returned votes. The thirty days ex- pired on the Sth instant. Upon counting the votes, Mr. Cabell was found to have a maority of fifty-one. He was therefore entitled to a certificate of election; and the Secretary of State made it out accor- dingly, and intended to present it to the Governor, who was expected at Tallahas- see on the night of the 6th, as soon as he arrived. It was, of course, expected that the Governor would give Mr. Cabell the commission as member elect to Congress. The same letter states that all the re- turns had not been received, and that it was generally believed Brockenbrough had a small majority, though that was still doubtful. The Floridian, in anticipation of this re- sult, called upon Mr. Cabell to resign in * ‘the mouth. or betwee Bd the the.

LATER: The Tallahassee Sentinel of the 11th ‘instant, publishes the official returns of the Florida election for a Representative from that State in Congress which show a majority of fifty-one votes for Mr Cabell the Whig candidate. The Sentinel states alsothat the Gov- eroor has given the certificate of election to Mr. Cabell, to which it believes him ful- ing received a majority of the suffrages of the people—Nat, Tut.

Among their last acts was the passage of a series | of resolutions relative to the annexation | of Texas. The first resolution declares | that Congress has no right to annex for- | eign territory ; the second, that the annex- | ation of Texas will tend to weaken the | bonds of the Union; the third protests a-— gainst annexation without the consent of | the delegation of that State in Congress | to act in accordance with the preceding | resolutions. ACCIDENT. Another proof of the danger of tampering | with fire-arms, came to our knowledge yester- day. One day during the present week, a boy | living in a family in Gates county, took a new | gon, and was amusing himself popping caps, | and attempting fo frighten some little negroes. Finally, he placed a cap on the gun, and turn- ing to a young lady, (Miss Mary Overman) ex. claimed, “ Cousin Mary I’m going to shoot you,” The gun, which had been loaded without bis knowledge, wofertunately exploded, and the whole contents were received in the young la- dy’s face, tearing asvay tbe entire side of it.— “ghie_expired.—Old North MMV ET ST, mtg t *iaea OE en ‘rose ag riously, and Redding was rescued. The Quincy Whig states that the Mormons ia Nauvoo have actuaily defied the powerd the State, and declared that no more at rests shall be made in Nauvoo. It says: “Col.

For that purpose, he invited Brigham Young and others of the leading authorities to conference. He informed them that the armed men onthe prarie was contrary @ orders, and wanted to- know what it meant g To this Young gave no satisfactory replys he stated, however, that it was their i- tention to submit to no more arrests, ridiculed the Court, the Judge, the Attor- ney of the State, who were present, @ in substance, defied the power of the State.

Day, as. it is termed, was, ing to.a time-honored custom, ob- grved by & Gon érable number of our (low citizens in visiting the graves, of jeit departed relatives in the St. Louis cemetery. * It is thost gratifying to a re- jcting mind to witness the imposing and olemn ceremonies that are this day per- gmed here, and are well calculated to press the heart with religious feeling. We trust that few, very few, looked .on je mourning spectacle there exbibited gibout experiencing that sofiening, yet gastening influence which thoughts of jeath and the grave so surely bring along sib them. The departed here rest in yeir graves, and these who remain steal, ys it were, one day to visit their silent nating Places; and while the roses in fill bloom, the graceful vine and sombre syttle around the tombs so truly image ife itself, yet do their short-lived beauties remind us most forcibly of that frail mor- wity that rests within the tomb. The deeurations of the various tombs vere, for the most part of a simple yet yteful description. Here knelt a moth- et, who in silent sorrow mourned the loss af an only son; a young widow the re- cent death of her fundly-loved husband ; the maiden wept over the grave of her st lover. Old age and childhood here night be seen weeping together at the drine of the departed. There were there ao, those who passed along the funeral wiks of the silent cemetery, who mourn- ed not departed friends, but simply were spectators of the solemn scene. There were some, too. who came to enjey the wene ws if it were a pageant or holiday show; these latter were however few in r. The Cazadores, in full uniform, a ‘silent and solemn watch over the mausoleum containing the inortal remains of their gallant comrades. In fine, the rich garlands which burdened the air al- most with their perfumes, the incense which ascended towards the deep blue sault of heaven, and the heart-felt and softly murmured prayers that wer> there breathed furth, were well adapted to turn the heart of the spectator upon thoughts df the “life to come.” As the weather came on to be incle- west in the afier part of the day, the crowds who usually throng to the ceme- teries in the afternoon were eeterred from their purpose. ‘The Cazadores accord- ingly announce that they will this morn- ing again appeal to the charity of the be- sevolent in behalf of the orphans.

It can scarcely be worth while to enumerate the evils flowing from intemperance after what has been written and said on the subject ; and if any of us had never read or heard any thing in relation to this, greatest of all causes of suffering in the land, the expe- rience of all, must furnish abundant evi- dence, that to the use of intoxicating drinks may he properly charged, three-fourths, if not more, of all the miseries now affect- q J ing ourcountry. The practice of treating by candidates, hasa greater influence in form- ing and perpetuating intoxicating habits than any one cause existing in our com- munity. For months before the election, and for some days after, the candidates for popular favor, have hired and paid, men to furnish, without money and with- out price, liquor. for all who choose to call for it, and consequently many _ persons, who would not pay for such drinks, getin the candidate or his friends to drink, are led to form the habit of drinking to excess ; who, but for this, might have lived useful and sober men, and never have filled a drunkard’s grave. Men, who, for three or four months in the year are furnished with intoxicating drinks, free of cost, in this time become so much under its influence, that they very frequently become confirm- ed drunkards, and are a source of wretch- edness to their families, a nuisance to so- ciety, and either as paupers or criminals, a charge on the public. need not enlarge on this point: who that witnessed the scenes that occurred in our Town at our August election, and who has a heart to feel for bis country’s welfare, or has sympathy with his fellow man, when he is the subject of moral degrada- tion, but must be filled with most poignant grief. We sincerely hope that enough was seen and felt that day to cause our fellow citjzens to resolve, that this cause of degradation shall cease. Is the prac- tice we condemn any less injurious to the authors, than the victims of the habit?— We think not. In many instances it hasa tendeney to form and strengthen intem- perate habits in the candidate, and in all cases, it demoralizes his character, blunts and degrades his feelings—bardens or sears the conscience, and in many respects, has a tendency to obscure, if not destroy, his moral perceptions. ever, have we seen a candidate close a campaign, alter treating forseveral months We believe we Very rarely, if or even weeks, a better or more moral man than he began, and although the pe- cuniary loss to which he is subjected is not trifling, yet we view it as the smallest of the evil consequences resulting to him from this represensible practice. ‘The ef- fect a continuance of the practice w d islation is deplorable | prodice om pur irgislatiow is deplors dle | have seen it very highly spoken of by some in the extreme: unless the people resolve to put a stop to it, instead of electing as | our law-makers, the wisest and most vir- tuous of our citizens and most devoted Patnots, we shall soon see those who can and will furnish the most liberally, intox- icating liquors for the longest period and at the most different public places, eleva- ted to the dignified and responsible sta- tien of Legislator either in our State or | And is it to be sup- | gives account of three melancholy occurrences, | of recent date, to wit: The murder of Capt.

His lecture .was-highly | entertaining, well written, and delivered inan agreeable and unaffected style.— We will giye the best idea of it, and pre- gent perhaps the most readable report, by giving, from our notes, a number of the | gost novel and graphic passages.— Cameons’. Cave.— At the northern end | of the town of Macaoisthe cave in which | the Portuguese poet, Cameons, is said to bave written his celebrated poem the Lu- ciad, the subject of which is the ‘Voyage | round the Gape of Good Wope, by Vasco | de Gania. ~ This is a romantic and beau- | tiful spot. prodigious boulder rocks, which, with great numbers of other smaller ones, seem jo have been thrown down upon the earth | } The cave is formed by two | t ] at random, and piled up by chance in fan- | tastic and careless sbapes. The Portu- guese, With a wood la, and a wretch- ed leaden bust. . vuth end of the island is a Chinese teffle, situated in si- nilar assemblage of gigantic rocks, but extfemely tasteful. The localities of the place are trken advantage of, with great skilkand judgment; temple after temple succeeding each other up the steep wind- ing ascent, cut in the solid rock, with hea- vy balustrades, all of natural rock, or of massive and. beautifully hewn granite.— Nature has been no where distorted, the steps seeming half natural, and all that the hand of man had done, to be but car- rying out the design of nature, which meant it for a place of worship. A Chinese Temple.— We saw here for the first time a beautiful arrangement, which | the Chinese call a moon gate, and which isafavorite arrangement with them in theie gardens and temples. It is an open | eircular gateway through a high granite | wall, giving passage from one enclosure toanother. In front of each of the tem- ples were granite dragons, beautifully carved in grotesque, Chinese style, each with a moveable ball of granite seen thro’ | the teeth of his closed mouth, which must | have been cut out from the inside, for the head was solid, and the ball could neither be pat in nor taken out, without breaking the figure. In the interior of each temple was analtar of stone, and one or more idols in niches in the wall, just above and behind thealtar, In front of the altar were bronze triton tables. on which were metal pans filled with loose earth, and used to set the | gislighted sticks in which are burnt be- the image. The idols were much decorated with gold and silver tinsel. and it these temples they were all female fi- gures, they being dedicated to the goddess | the sea. Flowers, both natural and ar. | Uificial, of gold and silver leaf, which seem- | td'to be offerings, were lying at the feet | the.idols, and the gas-sticks were still | ing as though some worshipper had Pt retired from his devotion. There was uthere, as there isin India, any mystery, or | rerve, or prohibition. No guard or priest | fo prevent one’s going where he pleased, | ®towatch hisconduct. We could have fbbed the temple of all its tinsel and fowers, pulled the idol’s nose, or desecra- the altar. But we felt such would be | a ill requital of the confidence whieh | ¥as implicitly reposed in us, and we left tutouched, every sprig and spangle of the god. } Firse Official Visit.—It was announced Minister that a letter fron:Gori Ching, Mataining an Imperial edict, was about » be brought to him, by four high officers fem Canton. The correspondence had “heen carried on between the Minister and ing for some time, when this announce- Ment was made. Everything was pre- red for the reception of this tirst official from high Chinese functionaries, and "awaited their arrival. Alter a while. 4discordant noise, accompanied by loud les at intervals, was heard, and we look- | from the blinds of the verandah, to see. approach of our visitors. Two ill- bg fellows, with wire caps on their | teads—one of them with a whip, and the with an axe in his hand—led the ion. These were the executioners, always precede a high officer.

The: first civility | was, on their part, asking our names ;— | this information being given and recipro- | cated, they proceeded to shock our notions | of good breeding by asking our ages !—| This, however, is an indispensable atten- | tion; we returned it at onee and were of | course much edified at our information. Alter afew minutes’ conversation, a Juncheon, in the Chinese style, was an- nounced, and we entered the dining room; our guests, according to Chinese-etiquette, | seated on the left, which, with them, is | the place of honor. Chop-sticks had been provided for all of us, and we made our first experiments with them, to the unre- | strained amusement of our guests. They } cided taste for the barbarian liquors, champagne and cherry bounce. (A very | Wards saw very frequently, a Manchoo | Tartar, by the ame of Tung Lin, dispos- | ed of half a dozen tumblers of cherry We were | voices; it must have been easy to have heard in the street everything said by them.

After an hour at table, ” on ours.” we rose and moved to the veran- | dah, where a new series of delicate at- | tentions surprised us. They had made us tell our ages, entered with their caps on, shaking their own hands, sat on our left. fed us with their own chop-sticks; and now they commenced to examine our ap- parel, plece by piece—cravat, coat, waist- coat. shirt-bosom, trousers, sword-belt, gloves, all in turn were inspected. For- tunately, our good genius, Dr. Parker, told us this was the very acme of politeness, and to be imitated without delay. Nothing Was more agreeable to us, who had, with great patience and suavity, shown our hats and swords and coats; and we be- to scrutinize their dress and orna- We examined their caps and but- tons, and peacock feathers; their little embroidered bags, which with fan cases and snuft-bokes. they hang from their gir- dles; their thumb-rings of agate, their One self merry with a sword belt belonging to one of us. He put iton toshow how much 'too small it was, stratted up and down to 'show us bis portly figure, struck his full | chest, and told us in a voice of thonder that he was a Mantchoo—he then seized iny hand and squeezed it, to sbow his strength.

A Chinese Scholar.—Having reached Canton, my first business was to find a Tartar, and ‘one was, at last, procured who undertook to instruct us.

I showed that in the year last mentioned the Covernment considered itself forced, by a peculiar state of domestic affairs, to commence a very gradual descent from the summit of pfoteetion and prosperity, to the dead level of a horizontal tariff, comparative free- trade, and absolute national distress. This level was reached on the first of July, 1842; the last round but one of the ladder had been touched on the first of January of the same year. With the breaking of day, on the first of July, 1842, the commercial and political millennium should bave dawned, fur no foreign merchandise could be taxed thereafter more than twenty per cent. on what the foreign im- porter might declare to be the cost. But I had to show that the golden age refused to revisit us at the invocation of the disciples of free. trade, and that, as in their predictions they had been false prophets, in our present calamity | they were miserable comforters. For then the opponents of protection were Free-Travers; they have since come down a maxim in the science of pure economics ; they are now revenuc-tariff men. Very well, we accept this partial recantation, in the confident hope that it is but the precursor to complete a- | How mendment. But let us see about this revenue. tariffism, in connection with protection. sume all the official editors, and the “ able cor- respondents,” and the “régular” debaters in the Union, will admit that the tariff of 1816 was a protective tariff. What was the debt be. queathed to the ‘Treasury by the war of 18121 In 1818 [ find it stated at $122,000,000, (I set | it down from memory.)

Protection was drogpiog ; was revenue look- | ing up? During the four years ensuing, the | average annual deficiency of revenue, as com. | pared with expenditure, was $8,000,000 ; the total falling off in four years was $31,400,000. | On the 4th of March, 1841, the debt of the U. | States was cight and a half millions, and by the | middle of 1842 it amounted to upwards of twen- | ty millions. In short, the Government was ut. | terly bankrupt ; with revenues known to bave | been failing for seven years, its credit was gone, | and its financial reputation was the butt of the | world’s ridicule. By the admission of one of | the ablest and most authoritative advocates of | free-trade doctrines, the compromise act, aficr | the reduction of 1841, was not to be expected to produce more than ten or eleven millions of | dollars a year. (See the last annual report of | Mr. Secretary Wooduury, December, 1840. )— | From such a state of imbecility and depletion | it is, that the tariff of 1842 bas raised the Go- | vernment in three years.

This is certainly an important function, but not the most important of those which the tariff has discharged. It would be wrong to say that it protects this or that, 8 every @ass of citizens, for in’ truth it cannot operate upon the country by classes.— lis benefits first fall upon the actively laborious classes, but they immediately extend themselves to people of all pursuits, and become diffused over the whole community. ‘The interests which perhaps was most depressed from the rf act, were. those of j 1nd Voting fora law, desigued to be mt foundation of our revente sys- peg, and have consented to adupt an humbler | I pre- | | nominally, nothing really, the legal diminution, | the whole value of free goods was about $19, | in the rate of duties having been counterbal. | 900,000, while that of tea and coffee imported | in the United States, will not be dissatis- Therefore, in the first place, the tariff of 1842 hands, or were: working on No'new Ones were in the course of construction or were projected. And the me- chanic trades were in the same state of retro- gression or inactivity : people found themselves losing their employments, capitalists their in- | come, merchants and traders their business.— No classes were repiving and calling upon the General Government for relief, but the whole country was demanding a restoration of the old policy of the nation, under which each indus- trial interest felt that it bad some stable and se- | cure position, whereas it was not now assured of continual existence fur a month. Neverthtless, from the bour of the passage of the bill, the cry of “repeal” was raised, and that envious and malignant howl, “ the rich against the poor.” Some articles, which no encouragement of Government could possibly | lead to the production of in this country, and which were indispensably necessary to the car- rying on of manufacturing processes, were ad- mitted at a low duty, or at no duty atall. This, it was said, was to favor a few rich companies and great capitalists at the expense of the ma- ny—the consumers. And this is an argument most relied upon by the enemies of the law for its repeal. Jt is not to be supposed but that the majority of those who use jt are perfectly satis- fied of its hollowness and falsity. ‘These ar- ticles were not subjected to high duties, or were | left wholly free, because, as they cannot be | grown at home, they could not be protected.— And, secondly, their importation is encouraged in order that the goods, the making of which they facilitate may be afforded at cheap rates to the consumer. It may be evidence of great | industry on the part of the “able correspond. | ent” who is now doing up the “ regular discus. sion ” of this subject for the Government jour- nal, to parade in its columns a long list of ar- ticles, intended, as he states, for the use of the rich manufacturers, paying little or no duty, such as camphor, barilla, cochineal, sulphur, vitriol, ochres, litharge, and a hundred others; but what ig the use of it? Does he want them subjected to a protective duty 7 Do the poor of this country produce them? Do-the rich any more than the poor consume them? If they essentially necessary be increased? And would not this be a hardship to the poor who must buy those goods?

Our readers have not been inattentive, we presume, to the Reformation going on in the Roman Catholic Church, in Europe, under John Ronge, the progress of which is represented to be continually acceller- ating, and threatening to work marked changes, not only in religious faith and forms but upon the whole face of society, in the Catholic countries in Europe.

With | the services of their church and have put some experience in political discussion, 1 am compelled to acknowledge that I recollect no more transparent piece of clap-trap and hypoc- risy than this attempt to excite the prejudices of people against the tariff on account of its free list and its comparatively low duties. The country ought to be very misérable ; there is no denying that fact. ‘The poor ought to be poorer than they are, and the rich richer. The prices of manufactured goods ought to be much higher than they were in 1842, and all the crude products of the soil much lower, for the * black tariff” was expressly made to exalt the lordly proprietor of spinning-jennies and | iron-foundries, and oppress the farmer and plan. ter. These are axioms as firmly seated in the theory of revenue-tariffism as are the Allegha- nies on their everlasting bases. What do fact aul experience say? The country is exceed- ingly prosperous, the people busy, contented, and happy. The prices of domestic merchan- dise have generally fallen, wages have general- ly advanced, and, upon the whole, farm produce has risen, There is a steady market at home for the fruits of the farmer’s industry, and the artisan shares equally in his prosperity. Tbe great staple of cotton has probably fallen ih nominal price, but the returns of the planter are certainly not less than before the enactment of the tariff, and there can be no doubt that the increased home consumption has retarded the decline which has been going on_ for half a cen- tury. This is the present state of the country un- der the tariff What is the prospect if it re- mains undisturbed? The probability is, that if the crushing effects of foreign competition are warded off, as they hare been for the’past three years, that the iron, woollen, and cotton busi- ness among our own citizens will become some- what excessive. Establishments will go up rather too fast ; too much labor aud capital will become engaged in those pursuits, and prices will be materially reduced. Considerable pe- -coniary ¢nbarrassment will follow, and no little Kocws distress. (Then some of these opera- then | ment in Cincinnati towards establishing creasing influence of the Roman Church Reformer’s principles among the Catho- lics of this country. It is stated, the rea- der is already aware, that there is a move- an “ Independent Catholic Church.” These German Reformers have discon- tinued the use of the Latin language in forth the following as their Confession of Faith: “ First—That the holy Scriptures alone and entirely constitute the foundation of the Christian faith; the comprehension of | such Scriptares being freely delivered over to reason, penetrated and moved by Chris- tian principle. “ Secondly—As a symbol of our faith, we adopt the following declaration: “ | believe in God, the Father, who by His almighty word, created the world, and go- verns it in wisdom, justice, and love. | believe in Jesus Christ, the son of God our Saviour; I believe in the Holy Ghost, a holy universal church of Christ, the for- giveness of sins, and the life everlasting. Amen.” “We renounce the supremacy of the Pope, declare ourselves free from the hier- archy, and refuse beforehand all conces- sions which the hierarchy may hereafter make to bring the liberated church once more under its yoke. “ Auricular confession is also rejected ; celibary, the intercession of saints, the ad- oration of relies and images. ‘ Whilst, however auricular confession is abolished, any individual member of a congregation may, if he be so inclined, communicate with the priest before partaking of the sacrameut; none shall be constrained to do so. Intelligences are renounced, and with them prescribed fasts, pilgrimages, and all such institutions of the church as conduce to an unmeaning sanetification of works. But perfect liberty of conscience is allowed, free searching into and inter- pretation of holy writ, with no shackles of external tyranny. or bias. Two sacra- ments only are acknowledged—those of baptism and the Lord's Supper, whilst ev- ery individual community or insulated flock is not so restricted that it may not re- tain Christian usages.

(For partiev-. lars see the advertising columns.) There | have been in, daily, a goodly number of up country traders; who find here a rea- dy market for almost every product of the Mountains, at fair prices; and get in ex- change such articles as they have need for, on a small profit. Some of our Mer- chants have been, for some time, trading on the Northern plan, to some extent, which is a small profit, frequently made. That is, for instance, they now make twen- ty-five per cent. on every sale, instead of one hundred per cent. as formerly ; and make up the deficiency by trading four times as much, This is greatly in the fa- vor of buyers, and no doubt, in the long ran, is the best plar for the Merchants.

We extract from a late English paper the following description of a cheap weather glass— one which will indicate with surprising accuracy any change in the weather : “I keep, says a gentleman, a phial of water, contain- ing a leech, on the pane of my lower sash chamber win- dow, so that when I look in the morning I could, know what would be the weather of the following day. If the weather continues serene and beautiful, the leech lies motionless at the bottom of the glass, and rolled together in a spiral form. If it rains either before or af- ter noon, it is found to have crept to the top of its lodg- | ing and there it remains till the weather is settled. If we are to have wind, the poor prisoner moves through its limpid habitation with amazing swiftness, and seld- dom rests till it begins to blow hard.

Such being the case, it should be not to permit any of it to go to waste, which it they omit tv provide, the materials for absording and fixing it. The absorbents we have already named above, and wé will now mention, that, in pulverized charcoal and plaster, they have the bodies which will attract, condense and re- tain the volatile gases we have designated. Feeding of Roots.—In feeding such substan- ces t6 your stock, use those first which are most perishable, and should you have the convenience of doing so, cook them, as when thus fed they are not Oly more nutricious to all animals, ex- cept sheep, but more healthful and easier of di- gestion. dition fer cribbing, in the performance of these | labors, but serves to impair the interest of the farmer and planter ; as the fact of its exposure | subjects the crop to the depredations of the bip- | ed and quadruped races, and not unfrequently tempts the beasts of the homestead intu those habits of fence-breaking, and leaping, which adhere to the.n ever afterwards. ‘Therefore, we say to all our brethren, get your corn in, and have it husked and stowed away, with all possible despatch after it shall be sufficiently dry for these purposes.

With this pleasing prospect ahead, we sincerely hope, that every corn grower will | feel himself called upon to do all in him lies, to | save all that he has made, and profit by every | rise in the market. | Corn husks and cornstalks.—As the hay crop has been a very short one throughout a very | large portion of our country, it should be a pro- minent object with every corn grower, to gath. | er and place under cover these excellent substi- tutes for hay and fodder. Of cornhusks, every | holes or other facilities existing for the ingress | . ; | farmer is familiar with their value as food fur | rermi pis in our courts are considered | | of vermin. | . _ _ nga Store Hogs.—Look to it and see that your | Who were once so warm but now so cold ore hogs are provided with a good warm pen | in the cause! J ask the lukewarm even | as usual, at his granite Quary seven miles south value except when trodden into manure in the | and dry bedding through the winter, and with. | if they are willing to see this prediction | of Salisbury, nearthe old Charleston road, where g them, that they receive a sufficiency | fulfilled, and to endure these biting sar- of food to keep them in good condition ; not for- | casms? cattle ; but it is, and has been, too much the | ful points of lat. The late Judge Dan- | custom of all, to look upon cornstalks as of no | st cow yard—and too few take the trouble even | to avail themselves of them for such purpose. To all then, we say if cornstalks be gathered and housed soon after the corn shall have been | stripped off of them, that every ton of them | which may be thus saved will, if cut, prove to | the equivalent of jths of a ton of the best hay | as food for cattle, and that, if they be steamed, | | they will be equal to a ton. | Corn Cobs.—In view of the scarcity of long | provender, we cannot omit calling attention to this excellent, but too often wasted, resource. | Corn-cobs, as we have shown ina former num. | ber, are rich in nutrition, containing, in the pro- | portion of 4 to 9 as much nutritious matter as the grain that may have been shelled off of them. | This being the case, no farmer ean, without | being chargeable with a wasteful disposition, | suffer them to be lost to his stock as food. If! crushed before being fed, their value will be | greatly enhanced. | Fat! Ploughing.—All stiff, tenacious clays, | should be ploughed through the fall and winter; but the plough should never be put into them | while in a wet state, as if it be, the very object | had in view will be defeated. Catile.—As the pastures and woodlands now | afford but a stinted supply of herbage, let it be au object with you to yard and feed your cattle | of a night,-as nothing is more conducive to car- | | | tying them through the winter well, than hav- | in they will be kept both warm and dry, as without this precaution, a large portion of their provender which should go to the increase of fat and wool, will be exhausted in furnishing heat to their bodies, and will consequently be lost to the owner. The salting of sheep, the giving them pine bows, and water regolarly, are matters which should not be neglected through this and the succeeding winter and early spring months; nor is it less essential, that their bedding should be, at short intervals, renewed. In feeding them, three pounds of hay, daily, per head, will be enough. They should, howerer, occasionally, through the winter, re- ceive as a part of their food, either bean, oats, barley, buckwheat, rye or corn-meal, as also messes of reots.of some kind. Tn early spri and indeed until the pastures are ready for their — A ’ Cw on Ve Pee —" Sel | on your place—those which require it have Zz Salling and management of Stock of all kinds. Every aninml on tbe farm, whether horses, mules, cattle, or sheep, should be salted at least Should the cost of salt be con- sidered an objection, a mixture composed of two-fifihs salt, one-fifih lime, one-fifih sified hickory ashes and one-fifib pulverised charcoal, while it will be much cheaper, will prove equal- ly salutary. Chopt Feed.—We have no doubt that, if all grain which may be fed to horses, mules, and cattle, were previously chopt and mixt With cut straw or hay, a saving might be effected to the extent of fully one-third ; and we believe also, that cattle would thrive better. Apples.—In gathering your apples do it by hand, whether intended for table, or for cider making. After stowing them in a dry place for a few days to sweat, have them overhauled and wiped. | Corn House.—Before stowing away your corn, you should subject your corm house to a twice a week. thorough cleansing—taking care after carefully | sweeping the inside, ceiling, sides and floor, to wash every part of the interior, wih a strong ley, and then to whitewash both inside and out. That done, examine for rat and mice holes; have all you find stopt up. ‘These things done stow away your corn, and see that there be no out stuffin getting to supply them with materials to work into manure, and that they have charcoal and ashes always at command. Fences, Bars and Gates.—Personally inspect every pannel of fence upon your farm, and have every necessary repair promptly made. If the entrance to your fields are through bars, have those bars substituted by gates, fur you may | | rest assured that the ime occupied in taking | down and putting up a set of bars, would in two | years pay for a gate. | Tools, Carts, Wagons, Gearing and Imple- ments. —Look over and examine with care ev- ery tool, cart, wagon, gearing and implement forthwith repaired ; such as you may not need | fur use put away under cover from the weather. Before putting away your gearing have them cleaned and oiled. Getting out Grain.—Go abead with your thrashing out and cleaning of your grain, in or- der that you may be ready upon any emergency | to avail yourself of a rise in the market; but | be sure to keep your eyes wide open against the runners of speculators, who are hurried from the seaports on the wings of the wind to speculate on the want of information of the un- suspecting producer. Fire wood and fencing.—Cut and haul in a full supply offirewood to last you through this fall, winter, spring and summer—don’t delay | hauling until the roads become impassable.— | up neatly, eo that they may be in readine-a when needed. Roots of all kinds should be dug in season, and carefully stowed away. CHARCOAL FOR WHEAT.

Inthe New York Express of Saturday morn- ing-we have information of a most disastrous fire, which occurred last Thursday night at Sagg Harbor, in Suffolk county, New York. It ori- ginated in a wooden building about 9 o’clock, at which time the wiod was blowing a gale, and soon extended to more than one hundred houses, (one account says one hundred and se- venty,) which were entirely consumed. Among the buildings burnt was the Suffolk county Bank, and both of the hotels. The loss in buildings is varionsly stated at $100,000 to $150,000, while the loss in merchandise cannot yet be es- timated. The portion burnt was the best busi- ness part of the town, and has cast a shade over its prospects that will not soon be re. moved, ONCE MORE. | The friends of Temperance in every sired to be heard from atthe State Conven- tion in this city, on the 5th of December.

Every man is toa great extent faber for- tunae, the builder of his own fortune. And although the dis- pensations of an overruling providence often seem adverse, and overthrow the wisest schemes of men, the saying may nevertheless be esteemed as true, Though one effort may prove abortive another may be attended ,with success,— Though the dark cloud of misfortune may lower for a while, it will eventually break away, and the sunshine of prosperity will appear. And if we examine into the history of those who have been denominated unfortunate, we shall find their want of success to have been the result of unskillfulness, in- dolence, or a want of perseverance to oygrcome the obstacles thrown in their way. If constant dropping will wear away the hardest rocks, surely the assiduous persevering efforts of a rational and experienced creature, may overcome the diffi- culties of an adverse fortune. There is a regular and na- tural connexion between cause and result. And though there may be many intervening links in the chain that binds them together, the chain is never entirely broken. One man rides into a throne of power in an almost bloodless triumph, while another experiences repeated defeat and disaster, and, is at last, completely overthrown. But were the same means used in the one case as the other? One was a more skilful Gen- eral, marshalled better troops, and selected his time and laid his plans with more wisdom than the other. And where strength and numbers were wanting, prudence has supplied their place, and enabled one to chase a thousand and two to put ten thousand to flight. We venture then to lay it down as a truth, that diligence and perseverance will dvercome all difficulties. This is clearly deducible from the injunction of our text, and well attested by our own experience. In considering. this subject as applicable to young men, we are taught, 1. That they should engage diligently and perseveringly in some useful avocation fn life. Sacred Writ tells us elsewhere, that the man that provides not for his own household is worse than the infidel, and has denied the faith, Man was not made to be a mere cipher in society, a blank in the creation of God. Nor is it his appropriate part to while away his pre- cious time in a perpetual whirl of folly and amusement, nor to prostitute his noble powers of soul and body to a life of re- bellion against his God. Imbecility and inaction are the very reverse of human nature in its primitive excellence. The first man that was created, by far more noble and highly ex- alted in privilege, than any of his descendants, was a work- ing man. The lovely Eden was given him,as an earthly in- heritance, but he was commanded to dress and to keep it with his own hands. And there is no greater mistake to be made than that which supposes, that if man had retained his innocence he would not have been required to labor, and to labor diligently and perseveringly. And the difference be- tween the performance of his duties in the days of his inno- cence, and since the fall exists in the change of his disposi- tion and his powers, and the success that attends his efforts. Then every duty was performed with a hallowed delight, and every expectation was fulfilled. No cares then pervaded an anxious breast, and no disappointments vexed a troubled spi- rit. It was truly and emphatically, his meat and his drink to do the will of his Creator, in both spiritual and temporal du- ties. But now the whole order of nature is reversed. La- bor has become a drudgery and a pain; and the highest and noblest efforts of man are often met with the most signal dis- appointments. The ground is cursed, that it may not bring forth its fruits in due season. But the divine command still stands in its full force: “In the sweat of thy face thou shalt eat bread, till thou return unto the ground.” And why in reason should man form an exception to all the rest of crea- tion animate and inanimate, by proving a useless appendage and a scourge to all others. From the heaviest planet that rolls through the heavens, to the smallest insect that grovels in obscurity, all have their appropriate use in the vast uni- verse of God. No one is lost sight of by the eye of Omnis- cence. The same Omnipotent power that brought them into being at first, will not suffer them to fall to the ground with- out his permission. They are all engaged in performing his will though unknown to us, “.r despised and trampled under- foot as unworthy of our notice. And shall man with all his noble powers of soul and body,—man who was placed in the scale of creation only a little lower than the angels, and crowned with glory and honor,—man who was made upright in the image of God himself, with capacities susceptible of the highest enjoyments, and a soul that must live and expand forever—man who shall survive this wreck of matter and this crush of worlds—shall he stoop down from his high estate, and sink himself below even the most insignificant of God’s creatures, proving himself a vile and useless thing? Man is never so noble, never feels so much complacency and inde- pendence, as when engaged in some honorable and useful calling. And although his vocation may be an humble one in the eyes of the world, though it may add no garlands to his brow, it will afford him both the reward of a portion of earthly comforts, and the answer of a good conscience. The man who devotes himself to the humble duties of training the youthful mind cannot expect to claim the imme- diate adulations of so large a portion of his race as many others. He cannot, in his vocation, rise like the orator, and sweep away his audience in the whirlwind of his eloquence. 3ut are his labors the less honorable, because they attract the notice, and receive the applause of a smaller portion of his fellow-men? Is there nothing momentous and big with importance, in the still small voice of instraction that shapes the youthful mind, and prepares it for the responsible duties of life, and for the enjoyments of eternity? And is it no gratification to the instructor in literature and science, to have scores and hundreds of the noblest spirits in the land to rise up, and with gratitude bail him as their benefactor ! ; Does it reflect no honor on the memories of Caldwell and Waddel, that many of the Carolinas’ most gifted sons rise up and call them blessed? Was it no honor to an Aristotle that he trained an Alexander, though the powers of his mighty mind were perverted to bloodshed and conquest, and his youthful honors were lost in crime, before he reached the meridian of life ? And where shall we place the followers of other useful and indispensable professions? Shall the husbandman, the merchant, and the mechanic, be ranked below other callings, because they may not ride so high as they on the wave of popularity? Are they net all engaged in pursuits sanctioned by God himself: in those arts for which he destined them, and in which they can best. promote their own interests and happiness of their fellow-men? All other classes of men are dependent on these, for the ordinary comforts of life. The king himself.is obliged to the homblest of his subjects, for all the blessings that-erown his board. ~ , "The Gospel ‘Minister; though’ he is iu a great measure cut off from the emoluments and the honors of this world, is i © pot without bis reward, “He lives in the affections of 4 “»; people and in the favor of God yo. long as he is faithful:to hie - , - oy: Por e vee - t “ rt -whom tt -behoves » words to gain the admiration of | a ~ e” Pi: PERE aad PO ee ae: 36 Di . ommission sizgnec a0 a0 eaibaileian of posodean’ And thongh he may not be allow 1 0 dea tion from the sublimity of his theme itself. 1 e_ dea with sublunary things. He rises into-the glories of ‘up- per sanctuary, and descends into the dark regions of the pit. His subject is eternity, with its glories and its horrors: the soul mounting up from one degree of happiness to another, or sinking down to deeper abodes of misery, throughout the endless ages of eternity. But bas not the Minister a just and high claim on the affections of his fellow-men for his services, although none should ever dare seek the sacred of- fice from that motive? What class of men have ever proved more self-denying, and more devoted to the great works of philanthropy, and the alleviation of human woes, than the ministers of Jesus? And who have ever done so much to eep alive the lamp of science, and to uphold the tottering | ''‘srs of the State! In the middle of ages, when literature had fled from all other parts of the world, it still retained a lingering hold on the asylums of the monks. And it is a no- torious and gratifying truth, that the gospel missionaries have borne the lamp of science, as well as the word of eternal truth, back to the old world. From this recent wilderness, where lately none but savage roamed and wild beasts utter- ed their fearful cry, the light of learning and religion has gone to illumine the once most favored regions of the East. The heralds of the cross now stand on Mars’ Hill, where Paul stood eighteen hundred years ago, and preached the re- surrection from the dead and a day of final judgment. They are imparting knowledge, scattering the mists of superstition, and teaching gospel truth; and doing more for the honor of their country, than any other class of men that have ever visited those regions of darkness. Can any then deny the usefulness of the Minister of the Cross, even when his labors are confined within the limits of earthly things. Much too might be said of the other learned professions, but we deem it unnecessary. Their excellencies and their advantages are obvious to all. And may we not, from a consideration of these truths as- sign to each and all of these classes of men, a high and hon- orable station among mankind? Can we not with propriety, piace together in the highest niche in the temple of fame, a Newton and a Bacon, an Arkwright and Fulton, a West and Stuart, a Mansfield and a Hale, an Abercrombia and a Rush, a Whitfield and a Brainerd, a Howard and a Washington ? These all lived not for themselves only. not for the simple gratification of their pleasure and ambition, but for the hap- piness of their fellow-men, the welfare of their country and the glory of their God. © And can any young man now be at a loss in casting about him, to find some honorable and useful calling adapted to his taste and his talents? Does the wide field of which we have explored only a little part, present no spot on which the eye may rest with pleasure? In the whole range, of husbandry, the mechanic arts, and the learned professions, is there no occupation to which each one may apply the powers which God has given him for usefulness and pleasure? Or has hu- man nature so sadly degenerated as to furnish a class of be- ings who may with propriety, be termed good for nothing ? Are the powers of the soul on which the image of the Al- mighty was once enstamped, so deteriorated as to be no longer capable of high and noble achievments?) We deny the alle- gation. Human nature is the same now that it ever was. But it is sadly perverted in our day, by imperfect and impro- per modes of early training. It is a lamentable truth, that God's most perfect workmanship has been rudely marred. There are multitudes of young men, highly endowed by na- ture, and who might share largely in their country’s honors, with proper training, and by a diligent application to some useful calling: but whose education has been wrong or neg- lected, and who are sleeping away a life of inactivity and usefulness; or what is worse, indulging in the commission of crime. And what is the cause of so much suffering? and why are there so many disappointments? and why do so many young men fall in the earlier part of their earthly career! Says a late writer: “One half sink into an early grave, while the tears of disappointed affection, the deep sighs of blasted love, are the memorials of their fearful end. Crowds of our young men fall suicidal to the grave: while others mere dying wrecks remain, with pallid brows and wasted powers: the cold marble, on which, in characters of shame and blood their epitaph is written. Passing from this waste of life and blasted character, we search for the result of others: we look for their success in life ; and a melancholy picture meets us here. The country and the age present us with an almost unbroken his- tory of failures, severely trying to moral principle, and fear- fully disclosing moral delinquency.” For years past few of our young men have succeeded even in the Jaudable pursuits of life: while the failure is wholly unnecessary. We take up the College Catalogue only a few years after the classes have passed from the cloisters of their Alma Mater, and with throbbing hearts we follow them out into the world. Some are in the enjoyment of comparative peace and happiness, and a few are wending their arduous way to the heights of honor; but the greater portion have sunk into obscurity, or have become the inmates of the asylum and the tomb. The source of the evil is obvious. Youthful training is not now as it was fifty years ago. Young men and young maidens are not now as were those who landed more than two centuries ago amid the snows of the rock of Plymouth ; nor as they were io the days of our revolutionary struggle. Thousands of both sexes are now reared expressly for want, misery, crime, and an early and inglorious grave. _Every one grows up with the impression, that there is a Utopian period, when the restraints of youth will be cast off, if any indeed they ever endured, when labors and cares will be wholly dispensed with, and life will be one haleyon holyday of uninterrupted delight. They expect, In some unknown and mysterious way, to achieve a fortune, or secure an honor, without the slow dull routine of virtuous action that is de- serving of such a reward. To live without labor, to enjoy without care is the motto of thousands. But O how mista- ken the idea. That individual who does not perform his part in the great drama of human life, who fails to add his portion to the general stock of wealth, by his own individual exertion, is, on the clearest principles of political economy, 4 swindler of his race. If he lives not by his own industry, he must and will live on the savings of others. — : And what the resalt will be, we cannot divine. When a reat moral revolation will take place, when the sons and the daughters of our Jand will leave their idle habits, give up their imaginary pleasures, and return to the sober pursuits of industry, for which our fathers and our mothers were famed we cannot foresee. It is said that revolutions never go back- wards. When the habits of a people begin to deteriorate, they grow from worse to worse. until the government is over- thrown. If this be true, what is to be our fate, the fate of our beloved’ America before caeeti half centary sabe round ? leness begets poverty, poverty begets crime, and crime Is Apoliyan-o8 all yee and social order.

But they bend their eyés ob- stinately downwards upon the glittering ores at their feet, until they lose the wish or the hope, for any thing better.”* It is true that we have in our country no class of men.de- voted exclusively to literary pursuits. We have here-no richly endowed fellowships, where men of talents-and taste without the interruption of external cares. We have not, as in Europe, a pampered Literary Aristocracy...

In his retirement he sees the smoke and thetarnage of the battle field, and the exploits of the mighty general, views the landscape and the mountain scenery of the learned, scans the machinations of the skilled statesman, sings with the poets and soars with the orator.

Aod where are those giants in intellect and eloquence, whose power has been so long felt in the councils of the nation? O where is that voice, that has rung its placid notes in the halls of our national Legisla- ture, and negociated peace for us beyond the mighty waters, for the last forty years. Where now is the great Pacificator of our country, whose soothing words so often quenched the flames of civil discord, and’ said to the wild waves, “ Peace, be still?” He is gone forever from the arena of party strife, where no shaft of malice can reach him. He is gonc to the enjoyment of that rest, which is the rightful, and the richest guerdon of his virtues. But to his country he isno more. In the home of his love be will spend the remnant of a long and useful life ; unless amid the jarring elements of Northern and Southern interests, meeting again in deadly hate, our country should call him forth, like Cincinnatus from his plough, to save her from threatened ruin. And when he is gone from the scenes of this world, what clime, what age, what century will produce his like ? But I’forbear to eulogize further the great and good of our land. Their history is before you: go ye and be like them. And though you may not equal them in their powers, you can rival and surpass them in their virtues. Patriotism is not a boon granted to a privileged few. Like religion, it is free to all that will accept it. Then taking great and good men for your exemplars, scan their whole lives, imitate théir vir- tues, and eschew their errors. Let their faults stand out in bold relief, as beacon lights to warn you of the récks on which they struck. Be diligent and persevering, in every good word and work, and success will crown your efforts. The student who trims the midnight lamp, and racks his fevered brain, in storing his mind witlrich mmtellectual trea- sures, to prepare himself for usefulness and honor, will not lose his reward. The hours which he spends in deep thought, and patient investigation, while others are buried in sleep, or indulging in the nocturnal revel, are not time unprofitabl y squandered. When he comes forth from the recess of his study, with mind swelling with pent up thought, and with tongue vocal with “ words that burn,” an admiring and gen- erous world will grant him his meed of applause. Opposi- tion unprovoked from little and illiberal spirits will meee 4V- ery inch he ascends up to the place, “ where Fame’s proud Temple stands,” will be disputed by those who may, from wealth and family influence chance to stand above him, and by those who, in an intellectual point of view, are only just high enough, serpent-like to bite his hecl. Envy, the basest passion ever engendered in the-dark chambers of the pit, will wing her poisoned shaft. But if he put on the whole armor of virtue, and take the shield of firmness, and the sword of diligence and perseverance, he advances to certain victory. He may be dismayed, but not overthrown, discotraged and | cast down, but not destroyed. A\ll ill natured, and illiberal opposition will eventually flee before him, and retire to those dark recesses that suit its vile genius. Ignoble and inglori- ous, the indolent and the vicious will fall far behind and be- low him, and go to their own place, “ unwepf, unhonored and unsung.” You may have stood upon the seashore and watched the rolling in of the tide.

It is very stupid nevertheless. Of course nobody will believe that England will do any such thing. The British statesmen know well enough that the President cannot act without Congress, and that his recom- mendations are nothing without the sanction of that body-— True, if Mr. Polk goes for immediate occupation, and re-ec- hoes the declaration of “the whole of Oregon or none,” she will have good reason to “make ready,” and she no doubt will; bat she is not agoing to declare war until forced to do so by our own actual proceedings. England don’t want to fight about Oregon—nothing’ short of the hazarding of her honoryand her fights. can induce her to undertake ‘a war a- atcountry, and nothing, in our opinion, but madnegs, os . conducted by private companies, renders rail- | roads the favorites of private enterprise. We | trast the several States interested will promptly grant all the faeilities to private companies re- quired ; and this Convention recommends to its members to use their influence with the several State Legislatures in promoting this object. 15. Resolved, That as many of the projected Rail Roads pass through the public land, this Convention recommends to Congress to grant to the respective companies not only the right of | way, but alternate sections of public land on the route, as we believe that the increased value | conferred by these works on the residue of the public land would be at least equal to the value of such grant. 16.

The termination of the Alleghany chain of | mountains in Georgia. left a vast plain between | the proposed points of location, interrupted only | by the river bluffs ofthe Tennessee, which were easily overcome. It was an astonishing fact, | remarked Mr. Calhoun, that all the different | railroads which had been surveyed and propos- ed, for the purpose of connecting the Atlantic with the West and South, must concentrate at Atalanta, Georgia. ‘The two railroads from the Atlantic—from Charleston and Savannah— the projected roilroad from Knoxville, Nashville, | Memphis, Vicksburg, Natchez, and New Or. leans, Mobile and Pensaéola, are all of neces- | sity compelled to concentrate at that point. Mr. Calhoun then alluded to the necessity of con- necting the Valley of the St. Lawrence with the Valley of the Mississippi by means of ship ca- nals, at the same time adverting to the advanta- ges of certain and speedy communication which the Southern routes would offer when compared with the Northern routes, in consequence of the rivers and lakes along the latter being frozen over several months in the year. I now come to a delicate point, observed Mr. C. It is in regard to what aid may be expected from the General Government in carrying out ‘these projects. He was aware ghere was a di- versity of gopinion upon that point. He was himself a strict constructionist, but he hoped they would all harmonize and not act upon a | disputed constitutional point. Hé lookgd upon the Mississippi river as a Great IntaNp Sea, as much as the Chesapeake Bay or Northern Lakes, and was as much entitled to the super- vision and fostering care of the General Gevern- ment as either of them. In regard to improve- /ments of minor import, which only benefitted individual interests, he contended they should be accomplished by individual enterprise. Such 'as benefitted one particular State,—and those of interest tothe country at large, should be ac- complished hy the General Government, Ap- propriations for deepening the channels at the /mouth of the Mississippi river—for an extend- tended naval station at Pensacola or some oth- er point on the Gulf, and for the fortifi- cation of the ‘Tortugas, he considered strictly within the powers of the General Government, | but he did not believe that the Government had the constitutional right to subscribe to a rail- road. Of the numerous internal improvements made by the Government at the cost of some ' $60,000,000, not 100,000,000 could be real- ized for them. He considered that the Government, as the proprietor of the Public Lands in the new ‘States, should transfer the proprietorship to those States, and give them 33 per cent. of the /money realized. A vast fund in this manner could be accumulated for purposes of improve- ment. - He then remarked that it was not his wish | to bring the subject of the tariff before the Con- ‘vention, but the great difficulty under which the | railroad system labored, was the heavy duty upon Iron. The duty upon heavy T. Iron for railroad purposes amounted to $2,000 per mile ‘to our railroads. He had been informed by a large manufacturer that the article could be | manufactured at from $55 to $60 per ton.— | There were but two manufactories of railroad ‘iron in the U. S. and the increased demand ‘wound of course raise the price. He therefore | hoped this body would unite in petitioning Won- gress for the repeal of the duty. He trusted that if any gentlemen were present who enter- ' tained views upon the subject differing from his 'own, they would reply. He considered that ‘the present tariff puts barriers between us and foreign countries, but Congress was the only _ place for the discussien of the question. ; _ We were now deliberating how to connect this valley with the Atlantic.

Now I ould like to know how myself and Brother Piney woods john cotild organize a Cow pen full of Federal Magi- antes ag every body knows that there are at least two Federal Whig Magistrates to one Democrat in the coun- ty. That it was an organised plot for some unholy pur- poae.to elect a Trustee I had no doubt, for I remember | he groanings of the wire-workers of the party when | they foand that some of the Whig Magistrates were too honest to be drilled into the measure, and this was one reason why I opposed it. Another reason why I oppos- ej it was that we had done without a Trustee ten or twelve years without any difficulty, had not lost a solita- ry cent, but had saved the county perhaps hundreds of dollars and believing that we could still get along inthe same way was all the organizing that I needed to induce | me to oppose it, and under such circumstances I would | oppose it again. | But circumstances have changed, the Sheriff has fail- | ed and it was almost certain that suits would have to be | instituted against his securities for the recovery of the | County money, and believing it was beat to have a Trus- | tee to attend to it, was the new light that burst upon , py vision and the reason of my moving for the appoint- | ment of a Trustee. But sir I have yet to learn whether we have saved any hing by adopting any of Mr. Davises Cumberland no- tions, for instance his Finance Committee scheme which land Brother Piney woods John opposed, have we sav- | ed or gained any thing by it? not as I know of, but it has cost the County some forty, fifty, or sixty dollars a year, mtwithstanding Mr. Davis said that if we appointed | nen living in Salisbury it would probably cost nothing atall. To-be-sure forty, fifty, or sixty dollars is nothing tomen having a Bank at their con.rol, but it is some- thing to the poor Pax payer. I think it is the duty of the Court to collect no more off the people than is ne- | eessary, and then to save all they can save and not to wend jt for Cumberland or any other notions. Old Row- an has been too much imposed on by a majority of the { | | | | | | | | believing it-was best to have a Trustee to at- _ tend to it, was the new light that burst upon my vision, and the reason of my moving for the ap- pointment of a Trustee ” ! ! consequence. tween Mr. F. and those who sought to have a | Sour |} ; forgot that Mr. Turner, when a candidate, told This is the very explanation (in part,) that we wished Mr. Fraley to make, because it is the true one. “ The Sheriffhas failed ”—~and the county it is likely, will be put to some trouble in Well, the .only difference be- ‘Prustee appointed, is, that they foresaw what he now complains of.

A DEATH SCENE. The Murderers of Col. Davenport.—<A \ate number of the Chicago News contains a de- tailed account of the execution of John and Aa- | ron Long and Granville Young, convicted of | the murder of Col. Davenport. It is stated that notwithstanding the weather was stormy, about | 5,000 men, women and children, gazed upon the appalling scene. John Long confessed the murder, but said he wished those present to re- ceive, as the declaration of a dying man, his as- sertion that his brother Aaron and Granville Young, were innocent of that crime. Aaron Long and Granville Young then sev- erally protested that they were innocent. When | they had done, Juhn Long again made a speech, detailing some events in his life, and called upon all to take warning by his fate. 1840, he bad never wronged a man, but in that year he was persuaded to engage in counter- feiting, and from that he was led to the com. | all a dream; he passes trom chamber to cham- | ing the name: of Christians, Algiers sustained for ages asysten) of piracy, which rendered her very name synonomous with sea-robbing of the Most ynreleating kind.

He was already gone beyond his sympathy—he was left alone to en- dure the dreadful sight of his brother’s last ago- nies, and once more to pass through the dread- ful scene—the rope—the platform—the axe. I shall never forget the appearance of that man, as he sat upon the bench, a large bloody streak about his neck, his body trembling all over, while preparations were making for his final fall. signs. of an outbreak among the crowd, were evident.

POWERS’ BUST OF WEBSTER. The eminent American sculptor, in the course of his autobiographical conversations With Mr. Lester, recently published, relates the history ot his bust of Mr. Webster—who invited Mr. visit there, Mr. P. says: “T visited him at his country seat, and I num- _ ber the few days I spent there among the hap- piest of my life. I have never been in the pre- | pression of such intellectual power. No fa- miliarity with him ever abated this feeling.— | He always made me think of Michael Angelo’s | ' gigantic statue ; natural, but one of nature’s ex- aggerations ; out of her common way of work- ‘ing, but still her own work. He sat for me of- ten, until I felt I had done all-I desired to do with his head. All artists who had copied Mr. Webster’s features, have complained of himas would get almost asleep, for it was too dull a bu- siness fur such a man to sit still and do nothing. He often became drowsy, and at such times his features lost much of their expression, especial. ly his mouth, which became entirely changed. * * * esteemed it a great advantage as ly with a feeling of gratitade and admiration, but with even a mare lofiy conception of his ge- | nius and goodness than before.” Mr. Powers soon after went to Europe, and a visit from Thorwalsden, the greatest living s¢ulptor, whose attention, on casting his the crowd returned, and soon all was quiet, ev- eye over the studio, was arrested by the bust of | Webster :—says Mr. Powers : said he, ‘ must be the bust of Mr. Webster.— No modern resembles him ig churacter.

They never enter a dark room, thus reversing the practice of their profession in this and other countries. But everything must be reversed there. The Chinese do nothing as we do. Their night is our day; their West our East; two friends when they meet shake their psnds at each 6ther—a safe practice, cer- tainly, where, as in China; cutaneous dis- eases are common: their mourning dress is white; their compass points to the South ; they put their saucers on top of their cups; they are certain that the sun goes round their earth, and they know that his way was over devastated and ravag- ed plains and sacked cities, whose count- less inhabitants had fallen beneath the sword of the victorious Tartars. The on- ly innovation that took place was that the custom of shaving the head, which before had been confined to‘the Tartars, was made universal, so that no obvious token of distinction between thetworaces might remain. It might be said, with almost lit- eral truth, that all China was shaved in aday. Some mountaineers still remain unsubjected to the Tartar government. It was curious, observed Mr. Webster, to trace the many national customs re- garding the dressing of the hair. The Tartars and Turks shave off all but one lock, by which they hope to be pulled into as our ladies used to do, with tortoise shell the earth is flat a4nd-square. Parents are rewarded for the virtues of their children; and indeed they have every thing peculiar to themselves. And of course the habits of their thieves must be peculiar also. One of the gentlemen of the legation fell asleep leaving the window of his bed- room open. Two burglars by the aid of sbamboo scaled the window, looked in and seeing that the gentleman was fast asleep. stepped without noise into the chamber, secured his pistol and drawn combs, &c. The Chinese tail, he thought and clothed it with considerable interest. The Chinese have no hereditary aris- | tocracy, or distinctions of social rank.— | Their dignities are all official, all the peo- | of the Emperor, belonging to one family, equal in rank and blood. Birth and wealth are more disregarded there than in any Paradise. The Ceylonese dress their hair | | was the origin of the Indian scalp-lock.— This topic Mr. W. pursued at some length | | ple being, in theory, equally the children | rents ; nor is this so rare as to be consid- | ered extraordinary. Love for parents is the strongest sentiment in the breast of a Chinese. No change of domestic ties af- fects it, and death but elevates it into a religious rite and veneration. It holds the same place in China as with us does af- fection for a wife; and in China will ev- ery son, even as did Eneas, “ from the flames of Troy The old Anchises bear,” convey his father from instant and over- whelming peril to which his wife and chil- dren will be abandoned. The halls of the rich are always adorn- ed with figures of their ancestors, and in fathers is a prominent and favorite devo- tion. Some one or two days of every sea- son are set apart to visit their ancestral tombs, built upon the sides of the hills.— They goin families and offer sacrifices |and strew flowers over their graves.— | When these rites are ended they partake of a family feast, seated in enclosures a- 'round the tombs; cover the tables with | pieces of colored paper, which represent | various fruits and viands, and which are | burned, to carry upward food for their de- ceased ancestors, And then on retiring their temple, the worship of deceased fore- | from these sacred resorts, little flags of were ushered inte an inner room to dine. As a specimen of a Chinese dinner Mr. Webster described that given by Keying to the American legation on the conclu- sion and signature of the treaty, the third of July, 1844. Eight copies of the treaty had to be preparod, four in English and four in Chi- nese, and though the Americans worked hard the Chinese had theirs finished first. The Americans got theirs written out by 8 o’clack P. M., and it being late, proceed- 'ed atvonce to Keying’s residence. The | room was small, twenty by ten, without windows, and having only the door by which they entered. At the farther enda | small table stood upon a platform ; and on this the two ministers seated themselves, the rest of the company taking seats a- long the sides of the room. It was exces- sively hot, and though tolerable to the thinly dressed Chinese, was to the Ameri- cans almost insafferable. The treaty was read, the copies were compared, and the seals affixed, when two Tartars entered bearing a package in yellow cloth, which proved to be the Imperial seal. This was stamped upon the document and then the dinner commenced. The Chinese, continued Mr. Webster, insisted that we should take off our coats; the knees. Around the neck is a string of beads, of stones in winter and of per- fumed wood in summer. A cap of deli- cate straw or velvet is worn. A precious stone forms the button and a pearl is fas- tened in front. The richest costumes they saw were worn by players, on the stage. Keying and his suite were dressed in the plainest manner, having no ornament except the button and the peacock’s feather. The Chinese actors are-always itinerant, and are hired by private persons, or by sever- al, who contribute to raise a fund for the purpose. They have no changing of scenes, and everything is very rude and to us uninteresting. And yet they had played at Macao three days and nights | without intermission, many persons stand- ing twenty-fours to look on, receiving re- freshments from persons who have to sell. No women appear, and all speak in falsetto. Their dramas seem to be histori- cal, abounding in exaggerations and ab- surdities, and their comedies are vulgar disgusting. They have an extensive lite- rature—their poetry abounds in tropes and figures, and is sometimes touching and beautiful. They are remarkably fond of substitut- ing one thing for another which they im- country. ~ Under thé- ble Ete Providence: and the” b scars ae our free institutions, it~ With our une: “Ung all the elements ¢ affection of thé people Union of the States, and for. of popular liberty, which dation of our Government: » be your last session serious causes of” tion and misunderstanding, yet-no- hostilities-have taken place.

He pre- ferred, however, the opposite course, and | the matter was allowed to pass over. | Where a foreigner takes a house, said | Mr. Webster, some one presents himself | as steward, or comprador, generally a per- | soni of some property, who offers security | for his ability and honor. | He is hired at so much a month, or un- dertakes his duties for a commission on | ilhe purchases, and a modicum from | ach servant.

In the theory and in practice, the high- est stations are the rewards of good con- duct and of scholarship. Schools are uni- versally established and education is pro- | vided, for even the poorest and most ob- scure. “Wealth is regarded solely as a means of usefulness, and it is freely dis- It is asu- ry has been empty, the dignities of the College, which always open the way to high offices in the state, have been pur- chased for money; but any one who thus obtains high place, when it is known, does not enjoy the respect and honor which the place would confer on one who had won it by his own merits and exertions. Of this Mr. W. gave corroborative facts com- ing under his observation. He remarked | that the Duke of Kwang was the son of a hong merchant, and was attached to the mission because of his knowledge of com- merce, and his skill in the two dialects of the province. He was better informed | them.

The American embassy arrived at Ma- | cao in February,andthe monthsof March, | April and May, said Mr. W.. we passed | in studying the language and waiting as | contentedly as we could intelllgence from | Keying. who was to meetus. At last we received a letter from him, 1500 miles to the West, saying that he was on his way, | had been detained by want of water in the canals, and would be there in five mi- nutes. We waited as patiently as possi- 'ble in a city without society, walks, dri- vers or anything in the slightest degree , amusing; and his five minutes proved to be, according to our division of time, twen- ty days. At last he reached Canton, and finally a messenger announced that he was at Macao, and had taken up his lodg- /nese carry this sentiment, it is in itself It is the source of who was positively obliged to sit at this great diplomatic dinner, given on the con- clusion of a treaty between two great na- tions, in his shirt sleeves! The table was set for twenty, and covered with bananas, mangoes, oranges and other fruits, sweet- meats, etc. A hot drink, like poor whis- key, called ‘sanchou,’ was prepared, each having a small teapot containing it by his side. We were required to fill a small cup, take it up with both hands, half rise, nod to the friend whom we wished to com- pliment, and then empty the cup, taking care to turn the inside toward him that he might be assured it wasempty. This done according to the custom, we were helped to fruits, Keying, with his own chop-stick, seized a fig and put it on the Minister’s ed, expressly invented for the occasion, by Keying himself. It was excellent and spoke volumes for the gastronomic talents of the high commissioner. When this course was removed, two dishes of meat were brought on by attendants, who were | very numerous and very well drilled.— | Keying again helped our Minister to a | dish of chicken and pork, like a stew; and | | the dish was then passed round to the oth- plate. This over, a pudding was introduc- | terflies and the moon are emblems of love and wooers; thus, a fair one, See-so-sli, says in a novel, “I will drop the screen to shield me from the influence of the moon and prevent the butterflies from entering into my chamber.” Tothem such chang- es are doubtless beautifal. Another specimen of a different kind. “The Imperial troops put the enemy to flight ; 500,000 of the enemy lay dead on the field in the morning; blood flowed from the hills as a stream, and mustering the Imperial troops, which had dispursed in pursuit, they immediately commenced cooking, for they were very hungry.” An- other. A youth exchanges vows with a maiden, but his relentless sire requires him to marry some other golden lily. He and his first love meet in secret in the garden. She says, “ Yon, sir, should in future not think about your slave So- slim, but marry the maid—(imagine the name, as we have done before)—and for a hundred years be happy with your wives.” Then follows more sentiment ; “ I cannot disregard the person to whom you are to be wedded.

They were consequent- ly received in the same way and by the same functionaries as the Indian delega- _ tions are with us. It was found impossi- ble for us to obtain consent to correspond | It was therefore not received, and on the explanation being made, the error was ‘carefully corrected, and I thought, said Mr. | Webster, that I observed afterwards a del- icate attention on the part of Keying | which was very pleasing.

This | was done by writing his own name in very ‘small characters and Mr. Cushing’s in _large—large enough for a guide post. | About half an hour before the appear- ance of the high commissioner and suite, |a messenger brought a card and immedi- ately preceding them a second messenger ‘brought another.

They are costly, howev- 'er, and can only be afforded by the rich.

By this treaty a joint com- mission was created to adjudicate and de- atituting vo-part of her territory or right- cide on the claims of American citizens | He was | onthe government of Mexico. The com- | mission was organized at Washington on ithe twenty-fifth day of August, 1640.— Their time was limited to eighteen months; at the expiration of which, they had adju- dicated and decided claims amounting to two millions twenty-six thousand one hun- dred and thirty nine dollars and sixty-eight cents in favor of citizens of the United States against the Mexican government, leaving a large amount of claims undeci- | ded. Of the latter, the American commis- sioners had decided in favor of our citizens. claims amounting to nine hundred and twenty-eight thousand six hundred and twenty-seven dollars and eighty-eight cts. which were left unacted on by the umpire authorized by the treaty. Still further claims, amounting to between three and four millions of dollars, were submitted to the board too late to be considered, and were left undisposed of. The sum of two millions twenty-six thousand one hundred and thirty nine dollars and sixty-eight-cts., decided by the board, wasa liquidated and asoertained debt due by Mexico to the claimants, and there was no justifiable reason for delaying its payment accord- ing to the terms of the treaty. It was not, | however, paid. Mexico applied for fur- ther indulgence ; and, in that spirit of lib- erality and forbearance which has ever marked the policy of the United States towards that republic, the request was granted: and, on the thirtieth of January, | 1843, a new treaty was concluded. By this treaty it was provided, that the inter- est due on the awards in favor of elaim- ants under the convention of the eleventh of April, 1839, should be paid on the thir- tieth of April, 1843; and that “the prin- cipal of the said awards, and the interest arising thereon, shall be paid in five years, | in equal instalments every three months ; the said term of five years to commence on the thirtieth day of April, 1843, as a- | foresaid.” The interest due on the thir- tieth day of April, 1843. and the three first of the twenty instalments, have been paid. Seventeen of these instalments remain un- paid, seven of which are now due.

The minister appointed has set out on his mission, and is probably by this _ time near the Mexican capital. He has been instructed to bring the negotiation | with which he is charged to a conclusion | at the earliest practicable period: which. | it is expected, will be in time to enable me to communicate the result to Congress | during the present session. Until that re- sult is known, I forbear to recommend to | Congress such ulterior measures of redress | for the wrongs and injuries we bave so. long borne, as it would have been proper | to make had no such negotiation been in- | stituted. Congress appropriated, at the last ses- | sion, the sum of two hundred and seventy- five thousand dollars for the payment of the Apriland July instalments of the Mex- | ican indemnities for the year 1844: “Pro- | | } | | vided it shall be ascertained to the satis- | faction of the American government that said instalments have been paid by the | Mexican government to the agent appoin- | ted by the United States to receive the | same, in such manner as to discharge all | claim on the Mexican government, and | said agent to be delinquent in remitting | the money to the United States.” | The unsettled state of our relations with | Mexico has involved this subject in much | mystery. The first information, in an au- | thentic form, from the agent of the United | States, appointed under the administration of my predecessor, was received at the State Department on the ninth of Novem- ber last. This is contained in a letter, dated the seventeenth of October, address- ed by him to one of our citizens then in: Mexico, with the view of having ft com- municated to that department. From this it appears that the agent, on the twentieth of September, 1844, gave a receipt to the treasury of Mexico forthe amount of the April and July instalments of the indem- nity. Inthe same communication, how- ever, he asserts that he had not received | a single dollar in cash; but that he holds such securities as warranted him at the time in giving the receipt, and entertains no doubt but that he will eventually ob- tain the money. As these instalments appear never to have been actually paid by the government of Mexieo to the agent, | and as that government has not therefore heen released so as to discharge the claim, I do not feel myself warranted in directing paymenttobe madeto the claimants out of the treasury, without further legislation. Their case is, undoubtedly, one of much hardship; and it remains for Congress to decide wiether any,and what,relief ought | to be granted to them. Our minister to Mexico has been insiructed to ascertain the facts of the case from the Mexican go- , vernment, in an authentic and official form, and report the result with as little delay as possible. My attention was early directed to the negotiation, which, on the fourth of March | last, I found pending at Washington be- | tween the United States and Great Brit- | ain, on the subject of the Oregon territory. | Three several attemps had been previous- | ly made to settle the questions in dispute | between the two countries, by negotiation. upon the principle of compromise ; but each had proved unsuccessful. These negotiations took place at Lon- | don, in the years 1818, 1824, and 1826; | the two first under the administration of | Mr. Monroe, andthe last under that of Mr. | Adams.

Strong in their allegiance and ardent in their attachment to the United States, they have been thus cast upon ‘their own resources. They are anxious that our laws should be extended over them, and I recommend that this be done by Congress with as little delay as possi- ble, in the full extent to which the British | Parliament have proceeded in regard to | British subjects in that territory, by their ‘act of July the second, 1821, “ for regula- ‘ting the fur trade, and establishing a crim- nal and civil jurisdiction within certain parts of North America.” By this act by both partics—the country south of this | Great Britain extended her laws‘ and ju- line to belong to the United States, and Tisdiction, civil and criminal, over her sub- that north of it to Great Britain.

Weg have never made ourselves parties to their wars or their alliances; we have not soaght | their territories by conquest ; and believ- | ing our own form of government to be the best, we have never attempted to propa- gate it by intrigues, by diplomacy, or by force. We may claim on this continent & like exemption from Ecropean interfer ence. The nations of Ameri¢a are equally sovereign and independent. with those of Europe. They possess the same rights, u- dependent of all foteign. interposition, 19 make war, to conclude peace, and to regu- late their internal affairs. The people of the United States cannot, therefore, view with indifference attempts of Europeat Powers to interfere with the independent actionof the nationson this continent. American system of government is enfire- ly different from that of Europe. Jealousy among the different sovereigns of Europt, lest any one of them might become 1? powerful for the rest, has ¢aused them an iously to desire the establishment of whst they term the “balance of Power.” It cannot be permitted to have any applic® tion on the North American continent, especially tothe United States. We must oe maintain the principle that the people of this . tinent alone have the right to decide their OW” destiny. Should any portion of them, paren ting an independent State, propose to onite the selves with our Confederacy, this will be # qe tion for them and as to acrmive, withost foreign interposition. € can never that Enropion Powers shall interfere to prevest such a union, because it might disturb tbe i ance of power” which they may desire to m®™- tain upon this continent. Near a quarter pe century ago, the principle was distinctly of nounced to the world, in the annual ment one of my predecessors, that “the Amett” continents, by the free and independent co which they have assumed and maintalDs henceforth not to he considered as subjects,” future colonization by any European power This principle will apply with gretlpinere force, should any Europea | sath a % tablish any new colony in the existing circumsta Py p™. . pec i : & y but the. ion of ee He Prom Eg cherish ! : * an e 4 4 4 , 4 q a 4 ; F . ite, upd that it to the world as as recently arisen under the sent article of the subsisting treaty between ibe Usited States and Prussia. By this article, ihe consuls. of the twe countries have the right to sit as judges and arbitrators “in such differ- ogces a8 May arise between the captains and crews of the vessels belongivg to the nation ybose interests are committed to their charge, without the iate rference of the local authorities, ysiess the conduct of the crews or of the cap- til puatry ; oS aeaeee to cause their decision arried- into effect or supported.” ; The Prossian Consul at New Bedford, in june, 1844, applied to Mr. Justice Story to car- into effect % decision made by him between we captain and crew of the Prussian ship Bo- pssia 7 but the request was refused on the ground that, without previous legislation by Congress, the judiciary did not possess the pow- er to give effect to this article ef the treaty.— The Prussian Government, through their Min-: ister here, have complained of this violation of ihe treaty, and. bave asked the Government of the United States to adopt the necessary mea- ces to prevent similar violations hereafier.— Geod faith to Prussia, as well as to other na- ions with whom we have similar treaty stipu- iatioas, requites that these should be faithfully observed. I have deemed it proper, therefore, io lay the subject before Congress, and to re- conmend such legislation as may be necessary io give effect to these treaty obligations. By virtue of an arrangement made between ihe Spanish Government and that of the Uni- ted States, in December, 1821, American ves- sels, since the 29th of April, 1832, have been admitted to entry in the ports of Spain, includ- ing those of the Bolearic and Canary Islands, on payment of the same tonnage duty of five cents per ton, as though they had been Spanish vessels 3; and this, whether our vessels arrive in Spain directly from the United States, or in- directly from any other country. When Con- gress, by the act of the 13th of July, 1832, gave eflect to this arrangement between the wo Governments, they confined the reduction of tonnage duty merely to Spanish vessels “coming from a port in Spain,” leaving the former discriminating duty to remain against such vessels coming from a port in any other country. It is manifestly unjust that, whilst American vessels, arriving in the ports of Spain fom other countries, pay no more duty than Spanish vessels, Spanish vessels arriving in the ports of the United States from other countries should be suljected to beavy discriminating tonnage duties. This is neither equality nor reciprocity, and is in violation of the arrange- ment concluded in December, 1831, between the two countries. ‘The Spanish Government bare made repeated and earnest remonstrances sgainst thisgmequality, and the favorable atien- tion of Congress has been several times invok- d to the subject by my predecessors. I[ re- ammend as an act of justice to Spain, that this inequality be removed by Congress, and that ish vessets coming to the United States from any other foreign country, be refunded. ‘This recommendation does not enibrace Spanish vessels arriving in the United States from Cuba and Porto Rico, which will still remain subject to the provisions of the act of June 30, 1834, concerning tonnage duty on such vessels. By the act ‘of the 14th of July, 1832. coffee was exempted from duty altogether. ‘This ex- ¢mption was universal, without reference to the tountry where it was produced, or the national vharacter of the vessel in which it was import- ed.

Unfortunately, differences continue to exist among some of the nations of South America, which, following our example, have established their independence, while in others internal dis- sentions prevail. It is natural that our sympa- thies should be warmly enlisted for their wel- fare; that we should desire that all controver- sies between them should be amicably adjusted, and their Governments administered in a manner to protect the rights and promote the prosperity of their people. It is contrary, however, to our seitled policy to interfere in their controversies, whether external or internal. I have thus adverted to all the subjects con- nected with our foreign relations to which I deem it necessary to cal] your attention. Our policy is not only peace with all, but good will towards all the Powers ofthe earth. While we | are just to all, we require that all shall be just tous. Excepting the differences with Mexico and Great Britain, our relations with all civil- ized nations are of the most satisfactory char- . acter. It is hoped that in this enlightened age these diflerences may be amicably adjusted. The Secretary of the ‘Treasury, in his aonu- al report’'to Congress, will communicate a full statement of the condition of our finances.

In levying a tariff of duties, Congress exercise the taxing power, and fur purposes of revenue may select the objects of taxation. ‘They may exempt certain articles altogether, and permit their importation free of duty. On others they may impose low duties. In these classes should be embraced such articles of necessity as are in general use, and especially such as are consum- ed by the laborer and the poor, as well as by the wealthy citizen. Cure should be taken that all the great interests of the country, including man- ufactures, agriculture, commerce, navigation, | and the mechanic arts, should, as far as may be practicable, derive equal advantages from the in- cidental protection which a just system of reve- nue duties may afford. Taxation, direct or indi- rect, isa burden, and it should be so imposed as to operate as equally as may be, on all classes, in the proportion of their ability to bear it. ‘To make the taxing power an actual benefit to one class necessarily increases the burden of the others beyond their preportion, and would be manifestly unjust. The ‘terms “ protection to domestic industry” are of popular import; but they should apply, under a just system, to all the various branches of industry in our country.— The farmer or planter, who toils yearly in his fields, isengavged in “domestic industry,” and is as much entitled to have his labor “ protect- ed,” asthe manniacturer, the man of commerce, the navigator, or the mechanic, who are engag- ed also in “domestic industry” in their differ. ent pursuits.

If these views be correct, it remains to inquire how far the tariff act of 1842 is consistent with them. ‘That many of the provisions of that act are in Violation of the cardinal principles here laid down, all must concede. ‘The rates of duty ‘imposed by it on some articles are prohibitory, and on others so high as greatly to diminish im- portations, and to produce a less amount of reve- nue than would be deriged from lower rates.— | They operate as “protection merely branch of * domestic industry,” by taxing other | | branches. ” to one By the introduction of minimums, or assumed _and false values, and by the imposition of specif- | ‘ic duties, the injustice and inequality of the act of 1842 in its practical operations on different | classes and pursuits are seen and felt. Many of | the oppressive duties imposed by it under the op- | eration of these principles, range from one per cent. to more than two hundred per cent. They are probibitory on some articles, and partially so on others, and bear most heavily on articles of | ‘common necessity, and but lightly on articles of | lusury.

Under our present land system, limiting the minimum price at which the public lands can be entered to one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre, large quantities of lands of inferior quality remain unsold, because they will not command that price. From the records of the General Land Office it appears that, of the public lands remaining unsold in the several States and Territories in which they are situa. ted, thirty-nine millions one hundred and five | thousand five hundred and seventy seven acres have been inthe market, subject to entry, more ‘than twenty years ; forty-nine millions six han. | dred and thirty-eight thousand six bundred and | forty-four acres for more than fifieen years ; seventy-three millions seventy-four thousand and six hundred acres fur more than ten years ; and one hundred and six millions one hundred and seventy-six thousand nine bundred and six- ty-one acres for more than five years. Much the largest portion of these lands will continue | to be unsaleable at the minimum price at which they are permitted to be sold, so long as large territories of lands from which the more valua- ble portions bave not been selected are annu- 1 | With the view to the sale and settlement of | these inferior lands, I recommend that the price be graduated and reduced below the present ‘minimum rate, confining the sales at the re- duced prices to settlers and cultivators, in limi- ted quantities. If graduated and reduced in price for a limited term to oné dollar per acre, _and afier the expiration of that period for a se- cond and third term to lower rates, a large por- tion of these lands would be purchased, and /many worthy citizens, who are unable to pay higher rates, could purchase homes for them- selves and their families. By adopting the pol- ‘icy of graduation and-reduction of price, these inferior lands will be sold for their real value. while the States in which they lie will be freed which they are subjected, in consequence of the United States continuing to own large quantities of public lands within their borders, not liable to taxation for the support of their | local Governments. [ recommend the continuance of the policy of granting preemptions, in its most liberal ex- tent, to all those who have settled or may here- after settle on the public lands, whether sur- | veyed or unsurveyed, to which the Indian title | may have been extinguished at the time of set- | tlement. It has been found hy experience that, | in consequence of combinations of purchasers | and other causes, a very small quantity of the | public lands, when sold at public auction, com- | mands a higher price than the minimum rate | established by law. The settlers on the pub- ‘lic lands are, however, but rarely able to se. cure their homes and improvements at the pub- | lic sales at that rate ; becanse theee combina- | tions. by means of the capital they command, _and their superior ability to purchase, render it | impossible for the settler to compete with them in the market. By putting down all competi- tion, these combinations of capitalists and spec- ulators are usually enabled to purchase the lands, including the improvements of the set- tlers, at the minimum price of the Government, and cither turn them out of theif homes, or ex- ‘tort from them, according to their ability to | pay, double or quadruple the amount paid for ‘them to the Government.

The public of Virginia learned, when he wasa young map, to appreciate him, not by his heroic deeds in the field, nor yet by a mind comprehensive, enlightend, stored with knowledge from original thinkers, but from his finely appareled person, and his penchant for the society of the ladies! The Virginia Public misunderstood the man, and committed the same mistake in their esti- mation of character, which Cicero committed in respect to Cesar: Cicero expressed his as- tonishment that Caesar, effeininate, fond of the society of women, and wont even in the Senate house to curl his scanty hair with his fore fin- ger and thumb, should have been even then me- ditating the overthrow of the Republic, and the establishment of supreme power in his own person ? All the world knows of the military achieve- ments of Winrietp Scorrt,and of his emi- nence as a soldier ; but there are very few who know that he is as eminent as a thinker, and possessed of the highest order of Statesmanlike attainments. We are throwing out no feeler for the next Presidency: Upon that question we mean to be dumb until the right time comes to speak.— ginian who has done so much honor to his na- tive land. We quote the following from the Baltimore American, as highly illustrative of the position we have assumed of Gen. Seott’s civil emi- nence : “ Genera Scott, illustrious by his achieve- ments in the field, is yet noted for his wise and considerate efforts to preserve peace. His ser- vices in this behalf were eminently useful at a critical period of our boundary disputes with England, prior to the Washington Treaty. We | find some sentiments of his quoted in an ex- change paper, which seem worthy of especial consideration at this time. ‘If war be the na- tural state of savage tribes,’ says Gen. Scott, ‘peace is the first want of every civilized com. munity. War, no doubt is, under any circum. stances, a great calamity ; yet submission to outrage would often be a greater calamity. Of the two parties to any war, one at least must be in the wrong—not unfrequently both. An er- ror in such an issue is on the part of chief ma- the reason perfectly.

The New Boat.—On a casual visit to the River Landing a few days ago, we had the pleasure of seeing in operation, for the first time, the new Steam boat built by the Henri- etta Company, (making the third steamer now owned by that company.) She is a beautiful boat, and performed a- short experimental trip very well. But what is the best of all, she is of lighter draft than any Steam Boat ever built or run upon our waters—actually drawing with all her machinery on board, only from 14 to 16 inches ; and with a load sufficient for the Hen. rietta, she will only draw as much water as the latter boat without a load.

In short, we should especially remember, “ all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.” This divine precept is of universal obligation. It is appli- cable to rulers in their transactions with other nations, as to private individuals in their daily intercourse with each other. Power is entrus- ted to the former to do good, and to avoid evil. Such, clearly, is the revealed will of God.” a CHEERLESS PROSPECTS. We find the following cheerless account of the prospects before us in our State, in the Lin- colnton Courier of the 22d of last month. We have no doubt of the correctness of the details. “Tt is painful to witness the emigration now | taking place : not a day passes, but “ movers ” are to be seen of every grade, if we may so express it. The rich, the poor, the white, the colored, al] are off, some to the Far West, some | for—they know not, they care not, where.— Above Rutherford, the -vad to Tennessee is lin- ed with movers, fur it is there the migrating por- tion of South Carolina falls in with ours. But, to the millionaires this itinerant life has no horrors: plenty smiles upon them wherever they go; but there are those differently circum. stanced, by far the larger number, but it would require the pen of a Eugene Sue to describe the misery that is daiiy witnessed there. We do not know of any thing that can be done to prevent this emigration ; we can only sympa- thise with the unfortunate and recommend them to the charity of our people.” Neither do we know what can be done, un- der present circumstances, “to prevent this emigration ;” nor can we hope for any thing, till efforts are made to promote more the inter. ests of the State than the designs of party.— We must encourage manufactures, foster inter- nal improvements, and thus endeaver to bring into useful appliance the immense resources of our State. A well regulated and permanent Tariff will do wonders ia x ee et po- | creéds as have the ‘of plundarers of the public weal, and that they iu this respect.

The Mammoth Steamer.—The steamship Great Britain, which left New York on the 28th October, arrived at Liverpool on the morn- ing of the 19th of the following month, having made the passage in nineteen anda half days. Two days after leaving New York something was found wrong with the propeller, which was striking the stern-post very hard. The engines were reversed, and after two or three good thumps the arm broke off. ‘The ship then con- tinued on her way, with low steam, tor two days more, when another ofthe arms ofthe propeller broke, leaving only one, and the arm of another, The most was then made of the sails, and the AL Tn LATE FROM EUROPE.

When the Secretary argues that the rest of the community are taxed for the benefit of the manufacturers, to the ex- tent which he pretends, his reasoning is based on the assumption “that the duty is added to the price of the import and also of its domestic rival.” This is a favorite dogma of the “ Bundlecund” school of po- litical economists, and it might be a very good one if facts did not contradict it—a misfortune which attaches to most of the ‘assumptions of that school.—Instead of 'adducing instances in which the above maxim is not true we beg to know a sin- gle instance in which it is true.

In relation to it, the recommendations of the President will, I have no doubt, be carried out. There are some, however, who think that Mr. Cal- houn and his adherents in the Senate will be able.in connexion with the Whigs there, so to shape the action of Congress as to prevent any step being authorized that can be justly offensive to Great Britain ; but I confess I am not of that number.— When the Senate is full it will consist of twenty-four Whigs and thirty-two Focos ; of the last Mr. Calhoun can pro- bably carry with him Mr. McDuffie and Mr. Lewis, but these will not be enough even with the co-operation of all the Whigs; nor would they if one more should be added to them, as that would only pro- duce a tie, leaving the question to be de- cided by the Vice President.

A «British fleet destined for Oregon was pass- ing.up the west-coast, of which the cor- respondent of the Sun at Monterey says: The pioneer of this fleet, the British ship of war‘ America,’ touched here some time ago, and the movements of her command- er, Cape. Gordon aroused our suspicions atthetime. He refused to give any news, Saying,‘men of war do not carry news.’ He also refused to carry a circular letter othe United States Indian Agent at Ore- gon city, remarking that he was not sure going to Columbia River. Robert Pee!’s sons was also an officer or ~,§ passenger. We were all glad that hese distinguished visitors had every facil- ity extended to them for collecting facts in ee UC | | nate to Monday, when it will be resumed.” “| The House of bedded also | be in session to-day Locofoco Liberality.—The Lecofoeo majori- ty of the Georgia Senate have recently furnish- ed the world with a striking illustration of pet- ty tyranny and partizan hatred, which Democ. racy is so proverbial, whenever in the ascend- ant. A gentlemann named Chapman, reporter for the Savannah Republican, took the liberty in his letters of deviating from the usual dry de- tails of what is said and done im Legislative hadies, and freely commented upon the opinions and conduct of some of the members. ‘The let. ters were spirited and piquant, but wholly devoid of slander or scurility.. “The Largest Liberty” men took fire at the idea of a reporter manifest- ing any independence, and by a party vote expell- ed him from the Bar of the Senate. This is one of those practical demonstrations of the hollow. ness and falsehood of Locofoco professions for the “ largest liberty, of which that party by its acts offer so many signal examples.

Texas Emigrants.—The Natchitoches (La.) Chronicle of the 22d ultimo says :—* Within | the last month, between fifty and a hundred fa- milies have passed through this town to Texas. They are principally from Alabama, They crossed from the Mississippi at Natchez and Rodney. We learn from some of them that they will soon be followed by a hundred other families from their immediate neighborhood.— Whenever our navigation opens we may expect to see our streets every day thronged with emi- grants.

Resolved, That we have yet to learn that the pre- sent of future welfare of our Country calls for a modifi- cation of the Tariff of 1842, and that we are in favor of it because it affords incidental protection to all kinds of domestic industry, and renders us independent, not only in name, bat in fact. And that we believe not on- | ly its present, but its ultimate tendency is to reduce the price of manufactured goods, thereby benefiting consum- | ers of all classes ; and lastly, that we believe no one great interest of the Country can be incidentally protec- ted without in some degree tending to the protection of all other interests. 5.

(Cheers.) One of his prin- ‘cipal works was against female Sove- reigns. He denounced that as the most ‘hideous thing in the world. He (Mr. O’- Connell) hoped that his statue would hold ‘that work in itshands. Did Her Majesty i really know of the fact? (Hear, hear.) | But he did worse than that.

Y. Courier. From Mitchell's “ Notes from over Sea.” NAPLES. This government, besides other forms of oppressive taxation, assumes to itself various monopolies. not as being simply more exorbitant than luxury: but because of circumstances which give it a more odious appearance of arbitrary power. There are within the kingdom, beds of salt a little below the surface, and easily accessible ; there are streams of salt-water which deposit it upon their banes; and the sea, on all sides, in this hot ¢limate incrasts the shore with it. Salt ought, therefore, to be cheap. I am told the duty on it is three dollars a bushel. And to prevent injury to this | species of the royal revenue, the people are prohibited from taking water from the sea, lest they should evaporate it in pans. Guards are stationed along the coast to | enforee this interdict. To take a pail of ere immediately discharged by the Di- | Water from the sea to your dwelling would | 'be smuggling. Of course the poor can i have no salt. | Another royal monopoly is snow. It is | collected and deposited in a natural ice- | house on the top of St. Angelo, a neigh- boring mountain, and in summer brought ‘to market. Some ice having formed da- ‘ing a winter night in Naples, the people began to collect it, taking up pieces of it 'as a luxury, when the police interfered _and put an end to such an encroachment |on the king’s right. The ice and snow | are his, and are not to be used tribute free. | : | Curious.—Among the pageants at the coronation of Queen Mary, in 1553, was for his | the following singular fact, related by Hol- rst narrow notions, and he came out a linshed: He saw there | a handsome damsel ; Cupid did bis work, | m “Then there was one Peter, a Dutch- medabore, that a kind called the ¢¢ to engratt matrimony upon new ideas | er in bis hand of five yards long, and wav- He was the The impost on salt | |is spoken of as particularly vexatious— | ‘in their hands, more from curiosity than | an. that stood on the weathercoke of Si ood o bt fanciful and On reaching terra ly seedred, and found to containannounce- ment of a periodical publication. Position of the King of Prussia.—It is stated that the King» Prassia is about to put himself at the head of the religious movement in Germany. He has just ut- tered a phrase that will have an echo in all Europe. A deputation from the Cath- olic Chapter at Posen waited on him to take some step to restrain the religious movements of M. Ronge. The King re- ger than I am—no one can avail aught | one of the great sheep farmers of Prussia | Poland, he said to him, “ A truce to this | religious recrimination—let us talk about your sheep.” This phrase about progress is a worthy companion to that pronounced | by the king at his accession—* ] love an | opposition which is sincere, and acts on | principle.” | Dr. McCaatsr.—Dr. B McCartee, M. | D., connected with the Presbyterian mis- ‘sion in China, “ states that he had been living for three months in a Taonist tem- ple within the walls, as he could do little | either in the way of medical practice or of acquiring the languge while living a- | mong Europeans and Americans, It re- quired no little resolution thus to break away from civil society and live in the 'midst of the natives; but his success in _both respects referred to was an ample compensation for the trial.” | | Puseyssm.—Mr. Newman, who lately seceded from the*Established Church, of | which he was a minister, is reported to have purchased several acres of land at Litthkemore; an important institution is | likely to arise there for the promotion of | the objects of: the Puseyite and Romanist |party. For the present Mr. Newman re- | mains in Jay communion with the Romish ‘Church; and rumor tends to conneet him with the Jesuit College at Stonyhurst.— |Other converts to Romanism among the clergy are announced, but they are per- sons of no distinction. | A Good Purpose.—lt is stated that the King of Prussia has given directions for | the purchase of the dwelling houses of Lu- | ther and Melancthon, tor the purpose of | converting them into schools. It is noble thus to associate the recellections of the illustrations reformers with the elements of useful learning in the minds ofthe young. |The king has also commanded the doors of Luther’s dwelling, removed or destroy- | ed by the french, to be replaced. | | | Religion aud Initerature in Greece.— Rea.

Since the great flood in the Mississippi, last year, several kinds of fish, before un- known to the vicinity of St. Louis, are caught in great abundance in the river and the small streams running into it.— One kind is a very handsome fish, with bright silvery sides, reddish colored back, flat and broad, resembling in shape the salt water shad ; for the want of a better name the fishermen call them flounders. Another kind resembles in appearance the pike, but is smaller and more delicate in its proportions, with a brownish circle or ring round its body near the gills; these are called ringed sturgeon. Both are ex- eellent fish. The latter is free from and former full of small wiry bones. Herring. precisely like those of Cape Fear, have also made their appearance in the waters at St. Louis. They run in shoals. and are easily taken with hook er seine. Shrimps are new caught in the small necks and streams near that city, with the seine, by bushels, Singular Coincidence.—A cotem ry ¥ | states as a singular egincidence in regard to the several Presidents of the United States, that Jefferson was bora just eight years after his predecessor Adams ; Madi- son eight yearsafter his predecessor Jef: ferson ; Monroe eight yeurs. alter.

Sonday A very spirited Missionary held last night ; a congregstion, respecta- ble for size being present, notwithstanding it was one of the most unpleasant and in- element nights known jn our worst weath- er. The report of the Board of Managers was read by the Rev. S. W. Capers, ex- hibiting a gratifying state of things in the large and numerous missions to the blacks, pt the charge of the South Carolina Conference. Addresses were delivered by the Rev. Messrs. Walker and Wightman, and contributions to the amount of» Sir Hundred dollars were \aid on the treas- urer’s table, the greater part of which was intended for the establishment. of a miss- ion in China. Under the circumstances. this wasa collection which reflected great credit on the liberality both of the Confer- ence and the community. We understand that something like twelve or fourteen thousand dollars have been received by the Treasurer of the Missionary- Society, as the result of the year’s contributions for the support and extension of that depart- ment of their labors. The following Ministers were elected Delegates to the first. General Conference of the Methodist E. Church, South, to be held in Petersburg. Va. in May next, viz: Dr. Wm. Capers, W. M. Wightman, H, A.C. Walker, C. Betts, N. Talley, B. En- glish,and WhiteloordSmith. The follow- ing were appointed reserves: S. Dun- woody, and 8S. W.

It appears from the British Journals, that the late meeting in Liverpool, on the subject of ua- ion of effort among evangelical Protestants of different names thronghout the world, was one Ten differ. ent sects of Protestants were represented at of very deep and thrilling interest. timents, the following cardinal doctrines were sis of union :— 1. The Divine inspiration and authority of the Holy Scriptures. 2. The doctrine of the Trinity, 3. The utter depravity of human nature, in consequence of the fall. 3. The incarnation and atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ. 5. Justification of the sinner by faith alone. 6. The work of the Holy Spirit in the con. version and sanctification of the sinner. 7. The Divine ordinance of the Christian Min- istry, and the perpetuity of the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. 8. The right of private judgment in the inter- pretation of the Holy Scriptures. The members of no denomination compro. mised, in the slightest degree, their distinctive principles ; but all recognizing the right of each to inculcate his own peculiar sentiments, and yet agreeing on those grand fundamental truths deemed essential to salvation, they resolved on a course of united action, which, it is believed, will ere long result in something more than the expression of harmonivus sentiments or friend- ly feelings. sideration the bearings of various resolutions, adopted by this preliminary meeting, and to pre- pare, in detail, a plan for the great convention in next June.—N.

We have placed before our readers ru- mors from different sources. which seem to leave little doubt that.ene of principle objects of the mission of Mr, Slidell to Mexico was to prosecate a negotiation lor the annexation of another foreign. territo- ry to the United States, The New York “Morning News” of Tuesday supplies some particulars of the proposed negotia- tion, which. considering the relation of that paper tothe Admistration, are sappos- ed to be of some suthenticity. We there- fore place them before our readers, as follows, italicising what appear to us to be the materiil points: “ Cattrorsia.—It seems to be under- stood that Mr. Slidell. our new Minister to Mexico, is fully authorized to arrange vur boundary with that Republic upon the must liberal footing. His peawers,in this respect are believed to be so extensive that under them he may negotiate a trans. fer to the U. Stutesof the right’of Mexica to Upper California, This would probably be effected by making our line follow the course of. the Rio Grande del Norte from [ the Gulf of Mexico unfil it reaches their thirty-second degree of north latitude, and then run westward on that parallel to the Pacific ocean.” “Of course such a result will not be brought about without a handsome compensation to Mexico for her relinquishment of territory. Our claim against her for indemnification to our cit- izens is now very large, and no way is so likely as this to secure its full and imme- diate satisfaction, Indeed, so. far ‘ws the consideration whieh we may give ber is! balaneed by this account, it may be. said to amount to nothing; for, if we give Mexico the fullest credit for good will in the premises, her distracted and impover- arity soe warrants but a slight hope that she will very speedily y us in mo- see” y Spredily pay . j i. r EF William Smith, or Extra Billy, as he is more familiar! y known. has been elected Govern.

ADDRESS To the Patrons of THE CAROLINA WATCHMAN, DECEMBER, 1845. ~~~ —— Old Time comes round, and so must we Again come round oar Friends to see, And bail the Day which brought the light Of Truth that makes our prospects bright, And Man redeemed from Adam's fall ;—— A merry Christmas, Patrons all! Though chronas, on his ceaseless round In matabilities abound, Unchanged, on Freedom's Phares high Directing round his sleeplees eye, Behold the Watchmon stands erect, To warn, admonish—and detect Each movenient of the wily foe, That Freedom's Fortress would o’erthrow. And lo! Her trophied Fiag sublime, Stilt streaming from ber mountain pine, Fast nail’d by Whigs, who never yield, *Phidugh worsted in the fated field! Maiaorin’vloft that starry sign— ioecne olan gi repine— tesis which try * The The souls 0 men,” who can defy The freake-af Fortune, and be Gru In martial strife or civil storm. Tliough stratagems at times prevail, Stern Liberty can seldom fail Triumphant in the end to rise Above defeat and dark disguise ! Let no despairing JWhig be found, When I, your carrier, come round. Avaunt Inconstancy! thy name And Inconsistency’s the same ,— Both are synonyma of shame ! Let Demagogues who aim to win, Suppress—" The still small voice within,” And deem duplicity the art Supreme, to gain the guileless heart ;— Sound to the core, the Whigs despise To flatter, dupe, or temporize ! Or spread their nets for gudgeon fish To cook a Loco- Foco—dish— To glut the vicious taste, and bring Dire Atrophy on Mammon’s wing. To trimmers we resign the toils Of circumvention for the spoils Which Uncle Sam, from time to time, Supplies in Honey, Corn, and Wine, To feed the sly denuding few, That in the end will make him rue. Alas! alas! who could believe, Duplicity can so deceive! Dear Patrons, you by honest labor Acquire enough of these, to favor Your Carrier and Printer too, With Modicums so justly due To all who toil in Freedom’s cause, For Conntry, Constitution, Laws. As Dionysius robb’d of o!d Jove’s image of its robe of gold, With—« Mei in ore, fraus in factis, With—Fel in corde, verba lactis!” So do the spoilsmen Uncle Sam, With words of milk and honey cram, While they denude him of his wealth, And play their dowble game for pelf! Their motives ’—Why, their acis proclaim Aloud their mercenary game !— These plunderers we mean to watch, Nor spare the guilty whom we catch: No Democrat, with conscience clear, From us has any thing to fear'— Should any WaAig himself disgrace, The Lord have mercy on his case! Whigs,—who are they ?—Let Junius old Proclaim their Mines of mental gold! When Tarquin from imperial Rome He spurn’d to find another home ;— Whigs,—what are they? Let Sydney tell, Who for their dogmas nobly fell ;— Whigs,—for the third time, who are they ?— Ask Hancock, Washington, and Clay !— Who stole their Democratic name ?— Let them who bear it, blush for shane. Our Press untrammell’d is and free ; As we have been, so shall we be, To one and all impartial —and The Watebman of our native land. Dear Patrons, may your Carrier find Among you no penurious mind ! He loves an open heart and hand, The speaking eyes and features bland, And cheerful smiles, this Holy-day ,— Farewell !—He has no more to say, Until the Earth move round the sun Again, and bring your modest dun. Since the great flood in the Mississippi, | last year, se -veral kinds of fish, before un- 'known to the vicinity of St. Louis, are caught in great abundance in the river and the small streams running into it.— One kind is a very handsome fish, with bright silvery sides, reddish colored back, | flat‘and broad, resembling in shape the for the want of a better nume the fishermen call them flounders. Another kind resembles in anpearance the pike, but is smaller and more delicate in | tS proportions, with a brownish eircle or ring round. its body near the gills; these are called ringed siurgeon.

A very spirited Missionary metting was held last night; a congregation respecta ble for size being present, notwithstanding it was one of the most anplensant and in- element nights known inour worst weath- er. The report of the Board of Managers was read hy the Rev. S.-W. Capers, ex- hibiting a gratifying state of things in the large and numerous missions to the blacks, tinder the charge of the South Carolina Conference. Addresses Were delivered by the Rev. Messrs. Walker and Wightman, and contributions to the: amount of Sir Hundred dollars were laid on the treas- urer’s table. the greater part of which was intended tor the establishment of a miss- ion in China. Under the circumstances. this wasa collection which reflected great | credit on the liberality both of the Confer. | ence and the community. We understand that something like twelve or fourteen thousand dollars have been received by the Treasurer of the Missionary Society, as the result of the year’s contributions for the sopport and extension of that depart. | ment of their labors. The following Ministers were elected Delegates to the first General Conference of the Methodist E. Church. South, to be | held in Petersburg. Va. in May next, viz: Dr. Wm. Capers. W. M. Wightman, H, | A.C. Walker, C. Betts, N. Talley. B. En- giish, and Whiteloord Smith. The follow- ing were appointed reserves: S. Dan- woody, and S. W. Capers.

PLAN OF RELIGIOUS UNION, It appears from the British Journals, that the | late meeting in Liverpool, on the subject of un- ion of effort among evangelical Protestants of | different names throughout the world, was one | of very deep and thrilling interest. ‘Ten differ- ent sects of Protestants were represented at the meeting ; and, a most free expression of sen. | timents, the following cardinal doctrines were agreed upon, with entire unanimity, as the ba- sis of union :— The Divine inspiration and authority of | the Holy Scriptures. 2. The doctrine of the Trinity. 3. The utter depravity of human nature, in | consequence of the fall. 3. The incarnation and atonement of the | Lord Jesus Christ. 5. Justification of the sinner by faith alone. 6. The work of the Holy Spirit in the con- version and sanctification of the sinner. 7. The Divine ordinance of the Christian Min- istry, and the perpetuity of the sacraments of | Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. 8. The right of private judgment in the inter. | pretation of the Holy Scriptures. The members of no denomination compro. | mised, in the slightest degree, their distinctive | principles ; but all recognizing the right of each | to inculcate his own peculiar sentiments, and | yet agrecing on those grand fundamental truths | deemed essential to salvation, they resolved on a course of united aetion, which, it is believed, | willere Jong result in something more than the expression of harmonivus sentiments or friend. | ly feelings. Committees were appointed to take into con. | sideration the bearings of various resolutions, | adopted by this preliminary meeting, and to pre- | pare, in detail, a plan fur the great convention | of all evangelical denominations to be held in | in next June.—N. ¥.

Nothing of great interest, with the ex- | ception of the introduction of the follow- ing resolutions on the Oregon question.

After its adoption by the | House, it was sent to the Senate, where it | was read twice and referred to the Com- | mittee on the Judiciary. There seems to | be no doubt as to its passage through the | Senate.

Resolved, ‘That to impose duties upen imports and not therehy to affect in any degree the in- dustrial relations of the country, or to vary the profitablencss of any species of employment, is demonstrably impossible ; and that therefore, any attempt to effectuate such an object, is but idle and chimerical.

Resolved, That while in any controtersy be- tween our own and a foreign government, the patriotism of the great Whig Party would shew itself to be an overpowering sentiment, in which all minor considerattons would for a time be merged, still they will never fail to protest against that policy which seeks by such means, to bring support to an otherwise sinking cause.

We have placed before our readers ru- mors from different sources. which seem to leave little doubt that ene of principle abjects of the mission of Mr. Slidell to Mexico was to proseeate a negotiation tor the annexation of another foreign territo- ry to the United States. The New. York * Morning News” of ‘Fuesday supplies some particulars of the proposed neyotia- tion, which, considering the relation of that paper tothe Admistration, are suppos- ed to be of some authenticity. We there- fore place them before our renders, as follows, italicising what appear to us to be the material points: “ Caurrorsia.—It seems to be under- stood that Mr. Slidell. our new Minister te Mexico, is fully authorized to arrange our boundary with that Republic open the must liberal footing.

Our claim against her for indemnifieation to our cit- izeusis now very large, and no wuy ts so likely as this to secure its: full and imme- diate satisfaction. Indeed, so. far as the consideration which we may give her is balaneed by this account. it may be said fo amount to. nvthing; for, if we. give Mexico the fullest credit for good-will in the premises, her distracted and impoyer- ished condition warrants but a slight hope: that she will very speedily pay us itr mo- ney.
