from him, when he arrives in Eu
rope. The male snake has just cast
his skin —and the new one is most
beautiful. The tail has a fine glossy
black. He says, they renew their
skins every two months ; three times
in the year: perhaps front October
to April they remain torpid, and this
function is suspended. Most proba
bly it varies in different snakes with
the’quantity of food they can obtain.
Mr. N. generally feeds his otice a
week.
They have also a rattle every year
after the first.—They scarcely ever
shake it but when they are strongly
excited, or to strike the attention of
their prey. He contends that the use
of their rattles is to draw upon them
selves the eyes of their victim, which
generally consists of the fleetest ani
mals, as birds, squirrels, &c. As soon
as the eyes meet, he says the process
of charming commences, lie believes
in this faculty, for he has seen it ex
emplified in a garden by his own
•snakes; the victim will hop from
bough to bough, and rock to rock,
» overcome with apprehension, until
approaching each other, the snake
seizes him —He denies altogether,
what some naturalists assert, the de
leterious Qualities of their breath—
for he has often kissed them, and in
blowing their breath upon him, he has
found it uncommonly sweet.
M. N. has other snakes in his col
lection —as a wampum snake, beau
tifully streaked, and so called after the
Indian ornament: it is a small species
of the Boa Constrictor, which winds
itself round its prey, and kills not by
poison, but by stricture—it evfcn
.. squeezes the rattle snake to death.—
i He has also the common black snake
| —and the lead-coloured American
■’ adder, of the description of the flat
y heads. He has all these under the
same command—exhibiting almost
the same docility as the rattle snakes.
The spectacle is not dangerous nor
I even disgusting—and is well worthy
, the attention of the curious.

Th*are such consummate thieves
and rogues, that according to an an
cient tradition still current among
them, they once tricked the devil
himself. The story is as follows :
The devil had acquired a right to
their fields, on which they agreed
with him, that when their crops were
ripe, they should retain the upper
part and the devil should have the
lower : they sowed all their lands
with wheat, and the devil of course
had nothing but the straw for his
share. Next year the old gentleman,
fully determined not to be again so
bamboozled, stipulated that the up
per part should belong to him and the
lower to the Karpians : but then they
sowed all their grounds with beets,
turnips, and other esculent roots, and
so the devil got nothing but the green
tops fur his portion.

FOR TH K CH ROMCLE AND ADVERTISER.
NUMBER 11.
The usual objections to a Supreme
Court, are the delay and expense which
it is supposed would necessarily be at
tendant ou suits before that tribunal. I
do not mean to avoid or deny the force
of these objections. Did they exist to
the extent supposed, they would be
weighty, and were au appellate tribunal
any thing less than necessary, insupera
ble, Where the value of the thing in
controversy is consumed in the waste of
time and money necessary to obtain it, it
is equivalent to a denial of justice. Suits
could only operate as punishments on the
defendant for a wrong done, and not as
compensation to the plaintiff. Men un
der those circumstances would sue in the
same spirit that men now prosecute of
fenders, from revenge or public spirit;
but not from the hope of obtaining com
pensation or redress. In England now,
particularly in Chancery, this is almost
true to the letter. Unless the properly
be very large, it is consumed in the ex
penses of litigation, lu Courts oi com
mon law it is not quite as bad, but suffi
ciently so to accord well with .the whole
spiritoflhe English Government. Chance
and design have combin d to render that
Government exclusively the property of
the rich. The powers of Government
are vested in the landed aristocracy, but
as they cannot maintain their system
witiiout the aid of the monied men, they
are obliged to consult their interests like
wise. To this I need not say our system
is totally averse. Our Government is
emphatically a government for ihe good
of all the citizens, poor and rich. Ex
pense and delay therefore in the add inis
tratiou of justice arc to be avoided as
much as the nature of the thing will al
low. We have already cut off much
from the expense, little from the delay
of justice. Hew far would the estab
lishment of a Supreme Court increases
the delay and expense ? The business
of a Supreme Court begins alter the tri
al on the issue of fact has ended, it is
to correct the errors of the Judge who
tried the cause with regard to any point
of law he may have decided. Suppose
a Supreme Court to set twice in every
year at Milledgevillc, which it may rea
dily do. In three months after verdict,
the cause will be heard and determined
in the Court above. In this respect wc
should be better off than we are now.
The Superior Court has now the power
of correcting its own errors. If a Judge
determines a point of law incorrectly, a
motion is made for a new trial on that
ground. As the law requires twenty
days notice to be given, this motion can
not be determined at the same term. It
must lay over for the next, and six months
intervenes before it is determined. With
regard to delay, therefore, our present
system presents no advantages. With
regard to additional expense, that must
consist in the costs of Court or Lawyers’
fees. The costs of Court would be the
cost of a copy of the record to send up,
and a copy of the decision to send down.
The costs of a copy are six and a quar
ter cents per copy sheet; for a copy of a
decision the same. With regard to nine
out of ten of our records, five dollars
would pay both. With regard to law
yers’ fees, lawyers have now to be paid
for arguing a motion for a new trial, un
less some previous agreement be made.
It would be the same whether the argu
ment was had before the Supreme or Su
perior Court. In that profession as in
every other, it is competition keeps down
the price of services, and not the tribu
nal which is resorted to. The popular
mode of stating the case is, that as it will -
be a high Court, lawyers will get high
fees. This is not true ; lawyers can get
no more than people will give in that
Court, or in any other. They do not re
gulate their fees by the tribunal before
which they are to plead; at least not in
that way. They require pay in propor
tion to their trouble, and it is more trou
ble to argue a case before an ignorant
than a learned Judge. In proportion to <
the amount in dispute, lawyers charge
more to plead in a justice’s court than be
fore the Superior court. It is supposed
that every case will necessarily go up
there. I will venture to say, arguing
from the experience of our sister States,
notone in ten. The only things to be
guarded against, are frivolous appeals.
Our special juries have taught us how
to guard against them. Let the same
precautions be adopted as in our present
appeals from a pettit to a special Jary,
and where a man has right on bis side,
an appeal will not be feared. Where
justice has not been done, a suitor ought
to have his cause re-investigated; where
it has, we can by law give a compensa
tion to the one who has been unjustly de
layed. At present, there is greater de
lay and ne compensation. Arguments
have been drawn from the expenses of the
English Court of Chancery. It is an un
fortunate instance. That is a court of
original and not appellate jurisdiction. A
considerable portion of that expense a
rises from the taxes on la w proceedings,
and was used as au argument for their
abolition. Our Court costs have never
been very formidable obstructions to the
course of justice, and the custom which
has grown up of postponing the payment
until the suit be decided, renders them of
little weight. The great objections
therefore of delay and expense, so formi
dable to the imagination, becomes nothing
when closely viewed and analyzed. It on
ly remains litigation.
No man goes to law without some hope
of eventual success. Uncertainty in the
law increases those chances, and conse
quently encourages law suits. It has been
acutely remarked, that the benefit of the
laws is chiefly with regard to those who
have no suits in court. Security of
property is one of the chief objects of
laws. The man who sits quiet at home
under his own roof, and there is none to
molest and make him afraid, enjoys all
the advantages which the wisest system
of laws could afford him. To the penal
law he is indebted for his security against
open violence; to the civil law for that
certainty of right which smothers even
the wish of others to contend for it. The
benefit of a well administered system of
law is not felt so much in what they do,
as in what they prevent. Contentions
either in court or out of court, are e
vils. Law is intended to prevent them.
Under a perfect system there will be
none ; bpt our system necessarilj' gives
rise to them. What is a man’s legal right ?
No person does know or can kuow until
it is decided in court. There is no prin
ciple so firm but that it may be shaken;
no point so well established but that au
ingenious lawyer may hope to overturn
it. A whole case often turns on the ad
mission or rejection of a particular piece
of testimony. The rules of evidence va
ry every day. A deed for example
Eastern circuit, the subscribing
must be produced: In the MiddlV, il the
deed be recorded within one year after
its execution, they need not. In other
circuits, it is evidence, if recorded at any
distance of time. Here is at once a prin
ciple of evidence on which the whole
landed property of the country depends.
For all practical purposes we might as
well live in different States, The law of
Carolina docs not differ more from the la u
of Georgia, than the law of one Circuit
differs from that of another ; nay, it h
worse. Ask a Georgia lawyer for advice
concerning the laws of Carolina, and he
may with a little pains inform you. He
has only to look at Brevard’s Digest and
the published reports of their courts of
law and equity. Ask a lawyer of one
circuit concerning a suit in another,
where lie does not practise, and if he
pretends to advise you at ail, he will al
most certainly mislead you. All deci
sions rest ou memory or tradition. Every
one tells the story his own way, and the
Judge, if he adheres to it, decides as he
happens to recollect, or misrccollec t what
was done before. It must be a striking
case indeed which remains distinctly ou
the memory twelve'months after the de
cision was had. It certainty of right and
security of property be the main objects
of the law, this variableness in the adju
dications of the courts destroys both. The
wisest laws become lame and detective in
their execution. As long as language re
mains, the only means by which the vo
litions of one mind can be conveyed to
another from the imperfections of the
instrument, different minds will t’oim dif
ferent opinions on the same words. This
necessary defect becomes infinitely aggra
vated by the diffuse, verbose and tautolo
gical style iii which our acts are framed.
There is scarcely one which might not
be expressed with more cleani# s and
precision in half the words, it is difficult
from the expressions to find out what the
Legislature do mean. Is it therefore sur
prising that different J udges.should put
different constructions ou thejsamo act ?
With regard to the common law, the field |
is so immense, it is rather to be wonder
ed at that they agree so often, than that
they should so often differ. A Supreme
court would, in some degree, remedy these
evils. The popular objections to it arc
the delay aud expense which would bo
attendant ou suits brought before that
tribunal. In my next, 1 shall endeavor
to show that the notions ou that subject
are, to say the least of thorn, very much
exaggerated. The use of such a tribunal
has never been formally denied. Men
cling to established things, and every
proposal of change carries with il a vague
apprehension of unknown danger, rrmro
terrific to lire imagination than real ills ;
as the superstitious are more scared by a
shaking bush in the twilight, than by an
armed foe in open day.
BROWN
LE LEFEBVRE DF.SNOUETTES.
We have as yet (says the Rich
mond Enquirer) seen no paragraph
from the English newspapers, which
speaks of the loss of this brave and
distinguished man. lie had assumed
a fictitious name during the Voyage;
and Mr. Everhart, who has arrived
in the U. States, adds, that to in
crease his disguise he had suffered
Ids beard to grow:—“ he had the mis
fortune before the ship struck to be
much bruised, and one of his arms
was broken, which disabled !dm from
exertion.” His death was announc
ed in France on the 4th July ; and at
the celebration of that memorable
day by the Americans in Paris, one
of them proposed the following toast:
To the memory of General Le-
Febvre Desnouettcs, and the other
victims in the Packet Albion—in him
we lose a worthy citizen, and France
one of its bravest soldiers.
The following delicate and tender
eulogium is translated from the Paris
Constitutionnel of the Bth July, for
which we are indebted to a friend :
“ The French army has lost one of
its most distinguished generals ; and
France, one ol her sons, whose disin
terestedness is equal to his courage—
a man, who in the course of a short
life has displayed the highest military
| virtue and the best qualities of private
i life* After having braved death in
. more than a hundred battles and en
s gageixxents, General Le-Febvre-Des
' nouettes has sunk in the flower of his
age. lie was on board the Albion,
' one ot the United Steles packets,
• whose disastrous ship wreck took
: place on the coast of Ireland on the
‘ 22d ot April last; he was on his way
j. to Holland, where the exertions of his
wife in addition to those of the King's
. ministers had obtained permission for
; him to come, and whose arrival there
would probably have Ixeen followed
, by his speedy return to his country.
. “ Gen. L. Desnouettes made his
. first campaign at the age of 17 years,
1 in the army of Dumouricr, in 179-b
! He entered as a common soldier, but
j. he attained all the various grades, up
j- to that of Lieut. General, as the suc
; cessive recompenses of his various
> services. He was at the battle ol
1 IMarengo, an aid*!e-camp of the First
| Consul, where he particularly tlistiix
t guished himself.
t “ Since that memorable period, he
> has assisted at the various actions
- which cast a lustre upon the French
arms : Elchingen, Austerlitz, Jena.
’ the plains of Silesia, attest his bravery
- and brilliant achievements ; the peo
• pie of the lust province will never for
■ get the manner in which he softened
> the calamities of war. However ri
-1 gorons may be the judgement of the
world towards him for the event
which drove him to a land of stran
gers, (America,) a catastrophe so cru
el ought undoubtedly to expiate it.
Alas ! who is there now willing to
condemn the praises which his un
commonly noble qualities draw forth ?
who can repress the recollections and
regrets which they inspire ?
“ (Jen. Dosnoucttes has left a fam
ily filled with affliction—ami carries
with him the regrets of his numerous
friends.”

We have made a selection from “a fanciful little
poem founded on the old tradition of a mortal who
has entered a fairy ring by night; the spirits of the
air become visible till the morning light breaks on
tile beautiful vision. The third rpirit says;
Hast thou a so-row ’—come fell it to mo;
Have I a comfort ?—thine it shall be.—
1 seek where the tears of the mourner are (lowing,
And breathe on hit brow till its throbbing is calm;
I steal w here the heart of the chastened is glowing,
And as rain to the flower, my smile ishislialm;
Where the exile is wandering, my pinions nre nigh,
Where the pilgrim is weary, to sooth him, am I;
X whisper them talcs of the home of their youth,
Os the hearts that aie fond, and the prayers that ate
truth!
X fly where the sailor-boy watches aloft,
And though storms gather round him, his slumbers
are soft;
Then I hear his young spirit away on my wings,
Where the thrush that lie loved in his childhood still
sings,
Where the woodbine is ’twining its wreathes on the
wall,
And dear ones again on their wanderer call; —
There is one bending o’er him whose lip cannot
speak,
And the tear of affection falls warm on bis cheek;
There is one standing near him witli words in her
eye,
And he seeks the embrace which she may not deny:
nut the sea-bird sails past—and shrill is her scream,
And its tears lie awakens, but blesses bis dream.
The sigXi of the lone); —the tear-drop of pain,
Where hope is wasted, and prayers are vain, —
The lips that arc pale, the cheeks that are wan,
J Where joy is bitter—and comfort is gone,—
The flowers that fade where the spring-blight is
flying,
The leaves that arc falling, the birds that are dy
ing,
The blasted sapling, the withering tree,
Are sacred to Pity,and cherish’d by me,
Peace to tbee, peace!
Our second quotation is from “Home:”—
’Tis worth an age of wandering, to return
The souls flint still can feel, and hearts that burn;
We have not bent the chasten’d brow in vain,
To bear the whisper, “ TXiou art mine agnin
To see in eyes we love the tear-drop swell,
Witli more of feeling than the lip could tell.
The weary pilgrim’s wish—the exile’s prayer,
Breathe of their home—Dial they may \ antler
there, *
And like the sun when summer days are past,
Sink into rest, their calmest hour their last,
Heave the death sigh where those around will weep,
And sleep forever where their fathers sleep.

£ KAN A WAY from
/tjßr j the subscriber,on the
MM\gd JOth February last, a
Negro Man, named
/ V ALENTI vE : hc is
21 year- of age;
six leei or upwards high ; well made, but
rather slim ; a little bow legged,—he is a
likely, well countenanced follow; has
large, full eyes; is-sensible and artful;
he is remarkable for having a scald head,
covered with a while scurf, and some
scattering hair or wool,—but to
detection he will probably endeavor to
have it cured, or mike some application
to alter its color. From the manner in
which he went off, and his not being since
heard of, I am induced to believe he has
been stolen or seduced away by some
white person. I will pay a reward of
fifty dollars to any person who will se
cure said runaway in jail, or otherwise,
so that I get him again; if stolen, a fur
ther reward of fifty dollars will be paid
for apprehending the thief, on his convic
tion. Any information respecting the
said Negro, by any person who may have
seen or heard of him, will be thankfully
received; and if brought home, all rea
sonable charges, iq addition to the above
reward, will be paid.
