The Editor of the Southern Literary Messen ger has forwarded us a sample sheet of that paper. gs thl form in which it is in future to be printed.

We believe that, in general, are the persons best rewarded fur their labor, unless the raising of stock be regauied as a distinct pursuit This last is. peihaps. as easy and lucrative a business as ran be imagined— neither cattle or horses requiring other food, at Any season of the year, than that which the year spontaneously provides them. Lawyers have usually done well here, and there is still a pros pect for some of them to do so; but it now? requires men of sense and legal acquirements to iucceed ; drid young men who fail at home had l etter not come here, unless they are willing to dig potatoes or turn soldiers. The number of physicians, we ttiinkaquite equal to the demand, though there is • room here, as there is every where else, fer a few qf first rate abilities. ; Gqpd clergymen always find a welcome, but $0 believe that their pecuniary rewards ;tre con fined principally to marriage fees, which, by the are usually quite liberal. I Qoods usually bear good prices, and most of 6ur*Wrehanls nem to do well, but there are ma ny good establishments now in the country, and jiose who buy to brmg out must not go ifi much, ha * been usual upon the ,dea that ‘nothing w,lldo so, IW Good, bouglu m tfcr eastern ,h, Lotted S.««, ,„d |„ b , ifny where, at fair prices, commonly a v „ rv good profit here.

Dr. Webster's lectors ox the rolidt -1 fication of car soxic acid gas. —Having at tended a former lecture of Dr. Webster on this recent discovery, with the highest interest, I can not but call the attention of the public, particu larly of young persons, lo that which he intends to deliver this (Saturday) evening, as announced in the newspapers. But, as I am apprehensive that the extremely curious subject of it, as descri bed in the u?-ual scientific language, is not tully understood, I beg leave to state in a more popular ; though less exact form. It is, in plain language, I converting one of the component ingredients of the common air we breathe, into a solid body , so that it can be seen and handled. And surely, if ; any experiment in the wonderful science ofchem i istry. is calculated to excite our astonishment, this is such a one Common air, as chemists inform us. is not a simple substance, hut a mixture ot several kinds of airs . as they may be called, technically denom inated gases; forming together a compound which may be compared to a mixed liquid consisting ot water and spirit, or other fluids. One of the gas es contained in common air, is called carbonic acid gas ; and the reducing of this gas to a solid body is the subject of Dr. Webster’s singularly curious and interesting experiment. When, however, it is said to be rendered solid, it must not lie supposed that it is made a hard body like iron or stone, though solid, it is soft and yielding, like wax, butler, &c. and in its general appear ance, at a little distance from the spectators it bore no inconsiderable resemblance to ice cream. One of the remarkable properties of this new body, as it may justly be termed, is its capacity of producing the most intense degree of cold of which we have hitherto formed any conception. By mixing a portion of it with mercury is frozen in a few seconds, into a solid mass, like lead; and, when in that state, if brought into close con tact with the hand, or other part of the flesh, will almost instantaneously produce a blister. This experiment of freezing mercury is exhibited in the course of the lecture. What the results of this extraordinary discov ery may be, no man will venture to prophecy. — But the simple experiment itself, as performed by Dr. Webster, is certainly one of the most wonderful and interesting in modern science.— Boston Patriot. The Bocxoart Question. — We perceive, by a communication from Gov. Fairfield, that i His Excellency is getting up some new thunder, as the elections approach. He has discovered that the British have violated the compromise, by stationing regiments of troops in the disputed territory. We apprehend that it is all a mistake; that it is a mere company, or two or three com panies, stationed on the lines during winter, and inhabiting cabins, and faring poorly, so as to aid the traveling between Canada and New Bruns wick ; that they are not in the disputed territory at all, nor on the St. John river, but only aline of videttes to faciliate the intercourse between the two provinces. Maine wants a little of Uncle Sam’s money expended in that State as it is in Florida.— Eve. Star. The amount of appropriations made for the public. expenditures at the first session of Con gress under the Constitution was $059,000. The appropriations made by the last Congress amount to more than $36,000,000, being nearly sixty times as great as the first appropriation.— We commend these facts to the attention of th« se unchanged democrats ” who are so loud in their professions of. economy. The sums necessary to provide for the monthly defalcations of our modern Sub-Treasurers, would have paid the whole expenses of Government fifty years ago. Southerx Liter art Messexgf.r. —The publication of the January number of this able and popular periodical has been unavoidably de layed by an accident to the press on which the Messenger is struck )ff, and by the intended pub lication of an important essay on the “Rights of the slave holding States and the owners of slave property under the constitution of the U. 5.,” from the pen of Conway Robinson, Esq. The January and February numbers will therefore, be published together, and offer a double store of entertainment and instruction to their readers.— Charleston Courier. The New Era talks about a “partnership be tween the Whigs a.nd the negroes.” Have not the negroes some few partners—“sleeping part ■ ners”—among the loco focos? What say you, j Col. Johnson I —Louisville Journal. From the Tallahassee Floridian of 11/i. We noticed some weeks ago the result of the fatal duel between Gen. Leigh Read and Col. ; Augustus Alston, in which the latter was killed. On Sunday evening last, Gen Read while at the ! City Hotel, and about to take bis place at the supper table was assaulted by Willis Alston, the brother of the deceased who arrived that evening trom I exas, and shot through the body just above the hips. Alston fired two pistols at Gen. I Read, but the last missed. After receiving the shot, Gen. Read, armed with his cane and a small ! pocket pistol, pursu'd his assailant to the front i door of the Hotel, where he fired, and it is said wounded Alston in the hand. As Gen. Read 1 was falling i i the arms of his friends, and stag gering through the crowd, Alston returned and stabbed him severely in the abdomen with a i bowie knife, and again fl",d. Measures were ini ; mediately taken to effect his arrest but without success. Although Gen. Read’s wounds are ex i ceedingly severe and dangerous we are happy to 1 hear ot the probability of his recovery. Others i have been accused of being implicated in ibis at ‘ tem °t at assassination, hut as the matter is to un | dsrgo judicial investigation we forbear more par ticular allusion to tie subject. From the univer sal expression of indignation at the act, and the active exertions of the citizens to effect the ap ! prehension of the perpetrator, we have confidence i that reason has in some measure been restored to the mass of the community. For the last few months it would se?m as if the only law known :in this city was force, and the only arbiter of | right the pistol or bowie knife. Yes ! here in the very heart of the Territory, in its metropolis, the residence of the Executive, whose duty it is ; ,osee the laws faithfully executed, the peace and j good ord « r of our town has been violated by hostile and armed parties of cur citizens arrayed against each other, and threatening blood shed and murder. ] n vain, with a few others of the inferi or raagist ates of the county, have our weak es ! ° rts D f* erted 10 repress and prevent these outrages. ehave received little support from some officers of the law, and in one instance could not even procure th e service of a writ to appre hend the violators of the peace. We have no jail in which to cor fine criminals. When offen ders are indicted, and, after the law's delay are convicted, they cannot lie imprisoned. Although I repeated atrocious murders have been com m „tl] in this district sinc< 1835, no execution has been ; had for murder since that of Waters which took ; P ,iC « that year, the felons having in some mstan cee broken jail, and generally eacnped by flignt either before or after conviction. Resistance from Als tan being apprehended by the officers to whom the warrants for arrest were given. Gov. Reid with great promptitude, ordered a military force to their assistance. We are pained to be obliged to record the facts above detailed, but are compelled by our duty to do so. The manifestation by the Legislature to make amendments of a salutary character to our criminal laws, and the expressed determination of the Executive to have them rigidly enforced so far as his power extends; if he is properly supported by the community, will we trust and hope save us from the performance of the like, duty in future.

Lewis Feuchtwan ger, Chemist, petitions Congress to substitute for the copper currency of the Lnited States that of the German silver, in its intrinsic value, and asks for privileges on the following grounds: 1 Having first introduced and manufactured the German silver in this country. 2 The German silver is now brought into very extensive use, as much as silver, at one-sixteenth the value of real silver. 3 German silver is far superior to copper, less bulky, no smell, more portable &c. 4 The objection raised on a former occasion, of being easily confounded with the silver cur rency, (10 or 12 cent pieces,) is now removed by being supplied with a hole in the middle, so that no body can consider it more or less than one cent. 5 He wishes the privilege of supplying the U. S. Mint with the unstruck pieces for ten years. 6 The officers of the U. S. Mint have repeat edly expressed their approbation of the plan. Dr. Feuchtwanger also petitions for the estab lishment of a branch mint in the city of New York, because — 1 The bullion comes direct from Valparaiso, Lima, Carthagena, West Indies, and other ports of Central America, is mostly to be reshipped to England or France. 2 That bullion which comes here for the pay ments of debts in this city, is generally sent to Philadelphia; and, in justice to the merchants of this city, ought to have it refined in this city. 3 The Platapina contains a great deal of gold, which almost invariably is trans-shipped to F ranee. 4 A great deal of Platapina comes likewise here with orders to re-shipped to France, which might be done here, as the article is now in con siderable use. These are important objects worthy the atten tion of Congress.— N. Y. Express. Galvanism. —The Lancaster Intelligencer, af ter giving the particulars of the recent execution of Kobler at the jail of that place, publishes some details of the experiments which were afterwards made on the body with the galvanic battery, elec trical machine, &c. After artificial breathing was established by means of a bellows, the gal vanic battery was applied; upon this, Kobler moved his arms and legs, his left hand was rais ed from the box upon which he lay to his breast, and his fingers were opened and shut, as if to catch something, his features ex pressed every pas sion. his eyes were opened and closed rapidly, his jaws moved as if chewing, and he breathed with sufficient power to blow out a candle five times in succession. How soon the doors of the tomb are to close upon the last soldier ok the Revolution ! How soon is to fall the curtain of separation be tween the generation of heroic spirits who achiev ed our independence, and the generation to whom is entrusted the high destiny of its preservation. Almost every mail brings us accounts of the de cease of revolutionary soldiers. A Pennsylvania paper mentions the death of Capt. David David son, in his 88th year, at Lost Creek Valley, Ju niata county. He died on the night of the 25th December. Sixty-three years ago, on the 25th December, he crossed with his brethren in arms the river Delaware, to aid, for the first time, to 1 fight the battle at Trenton. He was a soldier, in the full sense ot the word, and was in v; nous battles, such as Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, Stony Point, Germantown, Monmouth, Green spring, and Yorktown; and it was not until the conclusion of the war that he exchanged the sword for the ploughshare, and the spear for the pruning-hook, with an honorable wound, anil without being contaminated with the vices sc< contagious in camp.— N. Y. Whig. An Upright Judge. The following proceedings are reported in am Illinois Criminal Court. The presiding judge had been appointed to fill the vacancy occasione d. by the resignation of Judge Lynch. Court —“ Sam,” said the judge, “I suppose you know the jury has brought you in guilty of murder.” Prisoner—" Yes, Judge, that are a fact, no mistake!” Court “Well, Sam, you will have to be hanged, you know.” Prisoner —“ Yes, I s’pose so.” Court —“No help for it, I believe. Have you any choice about the time, Sara 1” Prisoner “No, I believe not; it don’t make much difference, if I nave got to lie hanged, when it is done. I have had a middlin’ hard time all my life, any how. This is no great things of a world. Judge, you know yourself.” “Mr. Sheriff,” said the Judge, “will this day four week? come on Sunday 1” “No, sir,” said the Sheriff, “that can’t be pos sible.” “You had hotter look at the almanac,” said the Judge, “I don’t wish to make any judicious mistake.” Having become satisfied that the hangimg dav would come round at a proper period, if calcu lated by weeks, he proceeded to inquire if that day four weeks would suit “Sam” as well as any other, to be hanged on. He was assured that I an J da y except Friday, which was an unlucky day, M ould be perfectly agreeable. “Now, Sara,” said his honor,” “have you any thing to say why sentence of death should not be pronounced upon you !” “Not much,” was the reply; “if I owe any body, I forgive the debt; and if anybody owes me any thing, they may pay it to my wife,” “and may God have mercy on your soul,” said the Judge, and he burst into a flood of tears. “Sam” was subsequently hanged, according to appointment. The New Hampshire Sentinel contains the following notice: The Keene indow Glass Company arc now manufacturing Chryslalized Quartz into glass ; an entirely new material for window glass mak ing, which renders it much stronger and clearer, and give* it a peculiar and beautiful lustre * | I Lev*, Jealousy ayd Mceder.—the Bal -1 timore Sun gives an account of a shocking mur der committed at Georgetown Cross Roads, m Marvland, on the 4th inst., under the united m i flueiice of jealousy and intoxication. The mur- I derer, a young man named Newnam, had con ceived a strong affection for a young lady in the I neighborhood, who discountenanced his passion, f manifesting a preference tor a Mr. Wroth. Af ter passing the evening in company with Mr. Wroth and the young lady, Newnam went out, fortified his bloody purpose with liquor, and then oning to the window of the room in which he had left his rival, shot him dead, in the presence of the lady. She was sitting between the win dow and the murdered man, but on a low seat » iso that the ball passed over her head. It was | supposed, therefore, that Newnam intended to kill both. He was immediately arrested, ac knowledged his crime, and conveyed to Ches;er to'.vn jail. Renew tour Insurance. —A policy on one of the buildings partly burnt on Wednesday last, expired at 12 o’clock M. the day previous; it was renewed the same afternoon, and at 4 o’clock the next morning the building was injured to the amount of one thousand dollars by the late fire. The owner had his loss entirely covered by not neglecting to have his policy renewed on the day on which it runout.— Prov Jour. Major Noah tells a queer story of a fat mem ber of Assembly from New York, who, in order to get to Albany by the most direct route, went to New Haven, and thus encountered the awful snow storm. He overturned the stage between New Haven and Litchfield on New \ ear’s day, nearly rolling over and killing a fellow passenger, and on the following Friday he overturned it again between Litchfield and Hartford. During the progress, owing to the enormous weight of the general and the crust on the snow, the sleigh coach only made two and a half miles in five hours: but in spite of al! those hazards, and the difficulty of squeezing in the stage doors, and the time lost in the ingress and egress, he arrived in good spirits at the seat of government, and found the worthy Sergeant-at-Arms had prepared a platform and a capacious chair for the general, who weighs something more than 450 lbs. Dreadful Calamitt. —We learn from the Chambersburg Whig that on the 2d inst. the dwelling and store-house of James Brewster, in Shirleysburg, Huntingdon county, Pa., were des troyed by fire, and Mrs. Margaret Btewstei (the mother,) a young woman named Margaret Mitch ell, and a boy (son of Henry Brewster,) perished in the flames! Russian Observatory. —The Russian Na tional Observatory, which lias been five years erecting, is at 4ength completed. It is in the neighborhood of St. Petersburg, on the hill of Pultowa, which is about 240 feet high, being the* most elevated point of a chain of heights en closing on the south the vast basin of the Neva. The Observatory is about 220 feet long, is fur nished with a superb collection of instruments, and is to he devoted entirely to the advancement of astronomy. A Large Family —Mr. Thomas Nelson and his worthy wife, of Lower Annamessee, Somer set county, Maryland, are the living ancestors of nearly, if not more than, one hundred industrious and thriving descendants ; and, what is more remarkable, the whole of this prosperous progeny are happily settled within the sound of their sire’s grandsire’s, or great grandsire’s voice. His voice, however, is Stentorian, and he is yet vigorous and active in mind and body and has some twenty or more captains in his family. | Deafness.—Every one has seen ‘Dummy Allen,’ Forest’s right hand man. . The Cincin nati News says the following conversation oc curred in that city. ‘Mr. Allen, is it convenient to pay the ten < dollars that you borrowed of me, some years since.’ To which he replied, ‘Oh, yes ! the boy play • «;d very well last night, considering he was so j poorly supported.’ ‘Mr. Allen, I arn not talking of the theatre, I want the ten dollars you have owed me so long.’ ‘I think that he will perform much better to morrow night—there is a better cast of the piece that he appears in.’ ‘Mr. Allen, will you take something to drink.’ ‘Much obliged to you sir, I think I will, just from rehearsal, and am quite thirsty.’ The present public debt of the city of Boston is estimated at 1,600,000 dollars.

EVANS' CELEBRATED SOOTHING SYRUP, for Children Cutting their Teeth. —This infallible remedy preserved hundreds of chil dren, when thought past recovery, from convul sions. <As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child will recover. The preparation is so innocent, so efficacious and so pleasant, that no child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it. When infants are at the age of four months, though there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup in the nursery where there are young children ; for if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the pores and healing the gums; thereby preventing convulsions, fevers, &c. Sold only at Dr. Wm. Evans ’ Medical Office, 100 Chatham street. New York, where the Doctor may be consulted on all diseases of children. PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF Dr. EVANS' SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent of Dr. Evans' Soothing Syrup: Dear Sir—The great benefit afforded to my suffering infant by your Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted and painful dentition, must convince every feeling pa rent how essential an early application of such an invaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and torture. My infant, when teething, experienced such acute sufferings, that it was attacked witq convulsions, and my wife and family supposed tlr.it death would soon release the babe from anguish, till we procured a bottle of your Syrnp ; which as soon as applied to the gums, a wonderful change was produced, and after a few applications the child displayed obvious relief, and by continuing in its use, I am glad to inform you the child has com pletely recovered, and no recurrence of that awful complaint has since occurred; the teeth are ema nating daily and the child enjoys perfect health. I give you my cheerful permission to make this acknowledgment public, andwill gladly give any information on this circumst: nee. WM. JOHNSON.
